When we treat water a human right, we give a status which entitles it to ever single human. However, if we treat water as a commodity, we are treating water a product that can trade and sold among parties, thus making it more exclusive.
In my opinion, I think that we should treat water as a human right. I have 3 reasons to explain my decision.
The first reasllon is that a of us need water to survive. By treating water as a commodity means that we are starting a vicious cycle which only the rich gets the amount of water that they want. On the other hand, the poor only get the meagre amount of water that they can get their hands on. This would result in a win-lose situation in the favour of the rich
Secondly, even though many people argue that the amount of water gotten depends on how wealthy the person. We should not unfairly treat less fortunate just because they were not born in the same environment as the rich. Therefore, when we treat water as a human right, all of us regardless of background, race or religion will get an equal amount of water.
Thirdly, if we were to treat water as a human right everyone no matter what would get their serving of water. This would relieve many of their water shortage problems for those people who are livening in less urbanized and developed countries. This action however would have a side effect which is that everyone would think that they would always their share of water which would result in them starting to waste water.
In conclusion, all of us should move towards a society that helps the poor or less fortunate with the resources that they cannot get their hands on. Only then, we would advance together to a more wholesome society where all of us benefit from.
