Three major threats to civilization are described: 1) nuclear energy, as nuclear war could wipe out all life on Earth; 2) pollution, which causes illness and threatens wildlife through chemicals, smoke, and destruction of the ozone layer; and 3) climate change, evidenced by melting ice caps, rising seas, irregular rains/increased storms, and intensified droughts and famines that could lead to survival wars. Urgent government measures and global cooperation are needed to address these threats from human activities and ensure the survival and security of civilization.

There are three major threats to our civilization,
which can lead to the destruction of humanity. We have first nuclear energy, which is used by a lot industrialized countris; there is also pollution, a major cause to be fought; finally, climate change constitutes another threat which is the result of the first two mentioned problems. Since World War Two, humanity has been exposed to a nuclear war that could be worse than Nagasaki and Hiroshima. It could wipe out life on earth. The entire earths population would disappear since many countries, like Iran, Pakistan, India and the western countries possess this destructive bomb, and could use it anytime. If accidents in nuclear power plants occur this also could be a direct threat to mankind In addition, and indeed, a slow form of death is threatening the world. It is pollution. An increasing industrialization can also cause severe illnesses and deaths. We can think of all the chemicals thrown by factories underground, or in rivers and seas, or of the enormous amounts of smoke emitted in the air by factories and vehicles. All of these are causing all sorts of illnesses in humans and threatening wildlife. But the most dangerous side of this pollution is surely the OZONE layer which is being destroyed little by little. Besides, and consequently, the ice caps in the north and south poles are melting, the sea level is rising, rains have become irregular, hurricanes are more frequent, monsoons are more destructive, and droughts have intensified. Therefore, the danger of famine is real, and can even lead to dramatic wars for survival. In the end, I can say that there are indeed urgent measures to be taken by governments to make human activities safer if our civilization is to survive and thrive. Humanity will not be in security unless the whole world put hand in hand and forget their problems.
