However， enforcement requires detection， and while some violators may be caught， others might not. Moreover， a broad regulatory system imposes general standards that may not apply equitably to every company. Suppose， for example， that pollution from a company in a valley does more damage to the environment than similar pollution from a company》in the extreme， to shut down the operation if the company cannot afford abatement measures.
Secondly， the argument assumes that the government regulations will properly reflect scientific recommendations. However， this claim is somewhat dubious. Companies with the most money and political influence， not the scientists， might in some cases dictate regulatory standards. In other words， legislators may be more influenced by political expediency and campaign pork than by societal concerns.
Thirdly， waiting until government regulations are in place can have disastrous effects》EPAmight be overburdened with its detection and enforcement duties， thereby allowing continued environmental damage by companies who have not yet been caught or who appeal penalties.
In conclusion， despite uncertainty within the scientific community about what environmental standards are best， companies should not wait for government regulation before reacting to warnings about environmental problems. The speaker’s recommended approach would in many cases operate inequitably among companies： moreover， it ignores the political-corruption factor as well as the potential environmental damage resulting from bureaucratic delay.
37.科技发展和demande 的改变让很多人不适应工作，到底是政府和公司负责还是个人对这事负责。
考古：
No.87“As technologies and the demand for certain services change， many workers will lose their jobs. The responsibility for those people to adjust to such change should belong to the individual worker， not to government or to business.”
“当某项特定服务的技术和需求改变时，很多工人将失业。适应这种改变的责任属于每个工人而不是政府或企业。”
提供观点：
1、 个人确实应该首先take the chief responsibility of their job obsolescence. 因为对自己的生活负责的人，首先是自己。现在的社会也提供了机会：很多学校提供短期的培训，人们可以参加保持自己keep up with the changes of the technologies and new direction of businesses。第二，只有个人采取主动，才能从根本上解决问题。否则merely rely on the help coming from government or business，人们会变得消极become passive and lose enterprise. 长期以来，对整个社会都有negative impact on the further development of one society.
2、 但是，这不是说企业不应该负责。after all， 是企业作出了创新和改变，并且造成了这些改变——并且造成了job obsolescence。应该为这些负责任。比如，为员工提供opportunity of training for the new technique…，这样也可以节约重新培训totally new employee的cost。
3、 Moreover， 政府也应该采取一些行动。政府作为一个社会的管理者supervisor，有责任保证全社会的well being. 应该帮助个人完成适应adjustment. 可以通过提供一些insurance for unemployment， advice for the occupational choice， necessary information of the new trend of business…

As technology and changing social needs render more and more jobs obsolete， who is responsible for helpingdisplaced workers adjust？ While individuals have primary responsibility for learning new skills and finding work， both industry and government have some obligation to provide them the means of doing so.
l agree that individuals must assume primary responsibility for adjusting to job obsolescence， especially since our educational system has been preparing us for it. For decades， our schools have been counseling young people to expect and prepare for numerous major career changes during their lives. And concerned educatorshave recognized and responded to this eventuality with a broader base of practical and theoretical courseworkthat affords students the flexibility to move from one career to another.
However， industry should bear some of the responsibility as well. It is industry， after all， that determines the particular directions technological progress and subsequent social change will take. And since industry is mainly responsible for worker displacement， it has a duty to help displaced workers adjust—through such means ason-site training programs and stipends for further education.
