People who have original ideas are

others very well. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Since eons, society has been revolutionized
by the ground-breaking discoveries made by innovators. This has also created a
class that has simply replicated and have integrated them into their own
concepts, making one ponder whether those innovating have a major impact,
or those duplicating the concepts.
Innovators have a major bearing on society as they have been pivotal to the development of human race; their discoveries have changed the whole life and procedure of mankind. They bought ushered new horizons that transformed the thought process stupendously and considerably: after the invention of aircraft by Wright Brothers the traveling concept of human race has radically changed, helping convert globe into truly a smaller place to be.
Besides radically changing the lives, these resourceful individuals with inventive ideas have engendered benchmarks and precedents for others to mimic, while the successors have merely integrated upgradations with the original concepts and without creating something radical, making it imperative discoverers of concepts and methods to be held in high esteem: Graham Bell is still remembered by everyone for inventing the phone, but no one even recognizes John F. Mitchell, who designed the first cellular phone.
However, some feel that those duplicating concepts and inventions are equally, if not more, valuable as those making discoveries, for they have always improved and helped evolve modern systems and equipment that are well adapted to the present context. To corroborate, the contemporary generation of color Televisions and LEDs are an outcome of emulation on the initial audio visual forays of pioneering researchers and technologists.
In hindsight, I personally feel that both those conceiving revolutionary concepts and emulators have their place in development of society and are equally important for mankind. Where one category showed the way, the other made it commercially possible and affordable.

Concerned at rising joblessness,
economists and social scientists are becoming increasingly concerned and have
been pitching for revolutionary ways mitigate this situation. They suggest that
it would viable enough if personnel were obligated to work only for four days
in a week, but some challenge this proposal.
To start with, those supporting the
idea of reducing number of working days per week found their opinion on the
assumption that by stipulating four-day week working per person, it would
become mandatory for companies to hire more and more individuals, so as to help
compensate for those on their rest days. On top of that, another benefit that
can be supposedly be afforded by this policy is that those struggling to strike
a work life balance due to gruelling professional schedule would be able to
gain some time to rejuvenate and relax, augmenting their productivity as a
consequence.
On the contrary, some sections strongly
reject this idea. As per them this will prove to be a recipe for disaster; it will
impose an additional financial burden on employers, and afford an adverse impact
on financial health of existing employment venues. The employment giving
agencies will have to allocate extra resources as to pay for remuneration to
new employees, bear additional tax burden and additional infrastructure costs
to accommodate additional workers. Consequently, this is bound to shrink the capacity
of businesses to sustain profitability in face of stiff market competition
which could also result in closing down of businesses. This would further
amplify miseries and engender more joblessness around.
Overall, disputes and controversies aside, I strongly reject this idea as enforcing a rule that stipulates personnel operating for four days in a week is quite impractical: as it may generate more serious complications and create more unemployed people.

Compare the advantages and disadvantages of three of the following as media for communicating information. State which you consider to be the most effective. - Ielts Essay
Twentieth century has been witness to
prolific advancements in the field of communications. All old n hetorms have been
proven wrong and traditional channels of social interaction have been
superseded by new methods of reaching out to the masses. Most prominent of these are radio,
television, and film.
Motion pictures were the first modern form of mass medium of social interaction to come around. It raised immense curiosity among people and soon influenced the minds of the public planet. This was the most attractive medium as it has had a profound impact on culture and fashion trends worldwide; films with stars and good storylines soon impacted the mindsets and thinking of people of different countries. But, it has a big drawback as it is often highly biased and actually represents fictional situations, and carrying opinions of those producing them.
Another foray of technology that generated huge fan following is radio. This medium is not only the fastest tool for reaching people but it is also portable, enabling people to carry it around with them in the form of pocket-sized transistors. But, this form of communication lacked visual facility which has limited this invention to car FM radios today.
The biggest achievement of the last century is television which has revolutionized the approach and living styles of people. This audio-visual media is the fastest, most convenient method of updating information and reaching out to the masses: live news telecasts can reach drawing rooms within minutes of happening though it has a big disadvantage as TV sets have led people to disconnect themselves from their social circles and community.
In hindsight, although other means of mass communication have their own
relevance, the most formidable of all is television as it has speed, wider
reach, and relays happenings in the form of audio-visual content right in the homes.
