In my opinion, change can be both avoiable and unavoidable. Change itself is decided by one or just happened naturally. Some changes are done by nature, when it starts, we can't stop it and have no choice but to let it take its course.

In this case (for land shortage), it is both avoidable and unavoidable as well. Why? It is because of the high increase in population, resulting in high increase in demand for land. Another reason is that land is not properly taken care of and planned out. This causes shortage of land. We should learn to conserve land for future developements and not act impulsively. For if "you fail to plan, you plan to fail". As saying goes, "Look before you jump."

As for whether who wins or lose in changes, i feel there's no 'win or lose'. It is just that whether one wins or lose depends on which point of view is taken into consideration. From my opinion, the winner is whereby one who thinks before acting, for things are forever changing, and hence we should not be a reckless bull. And as for the one who acts before thinking would be as if digging his or her own's grave. The one gripping the 'winning end' would be those who plan and execute out each idea step by step and so the changes will not be as of a bigger impact when change appeared, compared to the other reckless opponent.

The responsibilty for changes is both no one's and everyone's. As stated before, change is both avoidable and unavoidable, depending on situations. For if one chooses to 'change', the other will have to accept the 'change' and follow (turning it into win-win situation), if not the person who doesnt want to 'change', it will be a lose-win situation, and it will be the person who cannot follow who so called 'loses' and fall back. Changes can also be caused by nature, therefore, my conclusion is changes is both no one's and everyone's responsibility.
