 Some women choose to have children later in life. What do you think are the reasons for this? Do the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?

Several women, in contemporary times, are seen pushing their age of becoming mothers further. This can be attributed to umpteen reasons. However, this phenomenon has favorable unfavorable ramifications that I shall delve into deeper into  the following paragraphs. 

To start with, numerous eminent behaviorists propound that education has played a significant role in changing the thinking pattern of females about opting bearing offspring. They prioritize accomplishment of professional pursuits in order to attain stability in life, by virtue of which, they feel more financially independent which enables them to become prudent decision makers in various realms of life. Furthermore, it has been observed that even after marriage, many take time to cherish motherhood as they want to explore their new phase and to develop better understanding with their spouses, which not only makes their bond stronger but also prepares them mentally to welcome their child. Therefore, this dynamism turns out to be a favorable phenomenon.

However, some skeptics assert that women opting for children in their advanced age are often found to be inflicted with several physical and mental health complications such as depression, diabetes, frequent abortion and many more, which reduces their chance of having a healthy child. Besides this, increased age gap among parents and wards tends to develop clashes between the two generations when the latter grows into an adult due to differences in their attitude; consequently, hampering harmony within families. Moreover, sometimes parents fail to take full responsibility for their wards due to physical constraints associated with their older age and thus, adversely affect the life of both of them.

Overall, even though motherhood at later age is associated with certain drawbacks, I feel that this propensity has offered several advantages to females in terms of better career and financial stability.

Many studies have shown that the most criminals have a low level of education. Some people say that to reduce the crime rate, criminals must be educated within prisons. It will improve their prospects of employment when they are released. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

 Many studies have shown that the most criminals have a low level of education. Some people say that to reduce the crime rate, criminals must be educated within prisons. It will improve their prospects of employment when they are released. To what extent do you agree or disagree?  

The great discourse of contemporary times is aligned with the issue of whether imparting education to perpetrators while they are in the prisons can help to reform their ways after serving their sentence and eventually mitigate  anti socal endeavors , or not. The following essay will delve deeper into both aspects and share a plausible opinion.

Some eminent psychologists propound that education can render umpteen number of ways in transforming the conduct  of criminals: provision of vocational and rehabilitation skills in correctional facilities can help such people to find a suitable employment after their release, which not only will offer  financial support to them and their families but also render a new chance to lead their life with respect and dignity. Furthermore, societies can also utilize the potential of these antisocial elements in a more productive manner by affording them an environment where unlawful people can work safely with their counterparts, and thus alleviate  unlawful activities in the long run.

However, a lobby of skeptics asserts that this arrangement will only waste humongous efforts of authorities and hard-earned money of taxpayers as businesses will not offer employment opportunities to such perpetrators, by virtue of their past and hence, eventually make it hard for the latter to get fairly compensated jobs. Moreover, it has been observed that criminals are more inclined towards unlawful activities rather than other professional endeavors in order to earn money by easy means. This propensity cannot be altered  by implementation of a few educational classes in prisons, thus having little impact on behavior of these people.

To conclude, barring a few downsides, I feel that education is the only means to readjust the perpetrators back in society by reforming their behavior. Hence, I completely  concur with the given notion completely.

Some people believe that advancements in technology in the 21st century have allowed people to have more free time. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Saved time 

• Eased up the burden of repetitive jobs, and preventing errors, thereby saving immense time

• Helping organize work and studies better 

• Even at home people are spared of the need to constantly monitor the household chores 

• Telecommuting and online classes 

NO 

• Learning new skills has become a perennial process 

• Rising expectations from employers; adoption of technology has led to streamlining of work processes and reducing staff, pushing workers to embrace more responsibilities 

• Distractions caused by social media makes one waste their time

Undeniably, the advent of the state-of-the-art tools and methods has radicalized the way mankind engages with work: at home, job, education, and other domains, but has it helped spare extra time, is something that needs a serious analysis.  

Availability of up-to-date aids has allowed circumvent the need to negotiate repetitive tasks: mitigating errors and enhancing efficiency, sparing moments, otherwise wasted in negotiating those tasks. This phenomenon has been specifically observed in occupations, like  manufacturing, warehousing, customer service, and healthcare, to name a few, where one  is subjected to perform complex tasks, and become prone to spending long hours battling with the  work. Those engaged in these realms report saving at least two hours per day.    

On a similar note, home makers have been the biggest beneficiaries of the modern devices and  appliances that have rendered household chores virtually effortless besides speeding them up, making their life uncomplicated. Now,  while cooking, doing laundry, cleaning floors, mowing lawns,  and  so forth, one is relieved of the onerous responsibility of consistently performing and monitoring the process ceaselessly, and can instead focus on other things, and finish their work quickly. 

Nevertheless, there are some complaining of being busier than  the past, particularly those working in domains that allow work from home: information technology, financial and  data analysis, and teachers, wherein the personnel report that their employers have pruned  the labor force, making it leaner, thereby burdening employees with extra responsibilities: they are expected to handle more work than yesteryears. 

In hindsight, barring a few less fortunate who have become victims of modernization, a majority report being able to break the mundane and gain some spare time for themselves. I feel that with the passing time, those suffering currently will also see light at the  end of the tunnel.
