These days, the issue of international marketing has grown its importance, especially in the world of manufacturing facilities and even education overseas or across the globe. While others believe that this would mean invasion and intrusion into the country’s traditional ways.

These days, the issue of international marketing has grown its importance, especially in the world of manufacturing facilities and even education overseas or across the globe. While others believe that this would mean invasion and intrusion into the country’s traditional ways.

In the contemporary globalised world, marketing initiatives have transcended political and geographical boundaries. While some consider this development to be quite favorable, others fear that this might cause dilution of native ways of life. I feel the concerns expressed are lacking in substance; this trend is creating opportunities for many. 

Those skeptical of this trend allege that it is going to interfere with local lifestyles, causing a clash between the age-old customs followed by a society and modern aspirations that are more global in nature, and persuading people, especially the youth, to abandon their beliefs. As per them, such activities tend to promote practices, attitudes, festivals and way of celebrations, among others, of cultures from where  such establishments hail. For example, many working or studying in such institutions complain about their festivals and holidays being ignored, and being persuaded to celebrate  international events.  

However, the former view is not well-founded because whenever any institution markets itself, it always assimilates with local populace to enhance their appeal and create a niche for themselves. Moreover, these endeavors are bolstering trade and employment because when an enterprise expands its outreach in the world, it creates more business and jobs for both: the hosts and the home country. Similarly, this is helping disseminate globally-accepted skills to students across the world, helping create a parity among inhabitants of various countries, which translates into greater opportunities for well-compensated jobs. Many credit their professional achievements to this system: it has exposed them to globally-acknowledged academic resources.  

In hindsight, although complications such as cultures being impacted detrimentally by being side-lined, have been observed, international marketing has been overwhelmingly favorable by virtue of engendering economic opportunities for entrepreneurs and professionals, and aspiring students, but Striking a balance between both could help harness benefits.   

Many pharmaceutical companies advertise their medications on television and the radio. Some people say this is inappropriate, as it can lead to people seeking prescriptions, rather than diagnosing the root problem. Others believe it is important to spread awareness for all solutions. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Many pharmaceutical companies advertise their medications on television and the radio. Some people say this is inappropriate, as it can lead to people seeking prescriptions, rather than diagnosing the root problem. Others believe it is important to spread awareness for all solutions. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

A great public discourse of contemporary times is aligned with a view that medicine manufacturers should not advertise their products via mass media, while others disagree and believe that such information is vital for enlightening the public. This essay will discuss both sides and share a plausible opinion.

To start with,  a lobby strongly believes that this strategy encourages self-assessment, which could be erroneous. This is to say, people might wrongly assume that they have a certain illness since the symptoms shown on the television matches their own, precipitating perilous situations, where the ailing consumes drugs without proper professional investigation, resulting in doing more harm than good. 

Moreover, such companies prioritize commercialization over health, endangering human lives by exaggerating benefits or hiding side-effects. For example, a recent survey revealed that many pharma businesses promote their drugs by over stating the merits of their product and obfuscating its adverse reactions, causing the symptoms of disease to amplify rather than alleviate.

Having said that, a group hypothesizes that drug advertisements could disseminate knowledge widely, engendering awareness about the up-to-date medications, treatments and diseases. To corroborate, in Japan, regular adverts on radio help citizens stay updated regarding the ailments and related medical interventions available at the nearby hospitals. Additionally, many can be benefited by early detection of underlying medical conditions and pay a visit to a doctor for proper check-ups. Furthermore, ads on mental illness and its remedies can encourage the afflicted to open up about their conditions and seek help by eliminating the stigma related to it.

In conclusion, disputes aside, I believe that such broadcasting information about medical formulations can be beneficial to some extent, but only if effectively  controlled and regulated  to ensure accuracy, and prevent manipulation.

Universal health insurance is bad because healthy people should not have to pay money to help sick people. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Universal health insurance is bad because healthy people should not have to pay money to help sick people. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

A general perception is emerging that social health insurance is not reasonable and people with excellent health should not pay for sick counterparts. I completely disagree with this statement and shall discuss in the following paragraphs.

To start with, a lobby hypothesizes that one should not bear the  brunt of extending treatment for the ailing since the responsibility lies on the shoulders of governments. They have the means and resources to dispense available medical interventions for the betterment of those afflicted by health issues. Moreover, this system can make many, especially youngsters, bereft from saving for their autumn years, or emergencies; consequently, making their future bleak. For example, in Japan, a recent survey revealed that many are unable to accumulate enough for their retirement since most of the income is being directed towards universal insurance.

Having said that, a group strongly asserts that ‘as you sow so shall you reap’. If one starts funding for those suffering from ill-health today, in the future someone will do the same for them too. This kindness will precipitate an ever-lasting loop of support for each other. Similarly, the world is facing unprecedented incidence of disease, and their treatments are exorbitantly priced, mainly for the destitute populace. This arrangement will aid many in alleviating the monetary burden and afford treatments. To corroborate, many in France pay a substantial amount for the healthcare on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, helping a number of destitute ill to avail suitable medical treatments.

To conclude, disputes aside, everyone should pay for unified national health insurance since it will enable creation of a socially assuring   network and  allow many to afford treatments - rather than abandoning them - and such gestures will surely have reciprocal results for the payers.

In many countries, companies hire more men than women for certain positions. Some people believe that employers should be required to recruit equal numbers of men and women in every field. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In many countries, companies hire more men than women for certain positions. Some people believe that employers should be required to recruit equal numbers of men and women in every field. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The great public discourse of contemporary times is aligned with the  issue of whether gender bias should be relinquished while  hiring personnel because many businesses still resort to selecting more men compared to women. I strongly feel that employment  should be afforded on the basis of abilities rather than sex-based selection. 

A lobby strongly asserts that recruiting an individual should be based on qualification not on gender. One should have essential degrees and certifications to prove their worth to occupy a certain position. If one does not have specific education - whether male or female, they will be unable to do justice to the duties related to the job. As a result, this will create problems for themselves, as well as for employers. 

Additionally, skills should enjoy greater precedence over gender. One with appropriate requisite skills and seasoning  should  be prioritized over the idea of embracing gender-specific or gender-neutral approach: the former hold greater relevance in functions critical to operations. For example, in fields such as robotics and medicine, only profound knowhow and relevant experience can help deal with on-hand problems, and present optimum solutions.

Furthermore, the focus should be on assessing the approach rather than just evaluating a job aspirant on the basis of their sex. Many modern organizations have started shortlisting new entrants on the basis of psychological assessment and psychometric tests, which aid them in evaluating the reactions to challenges, approaches espoused to surmount those, and problem-solving capabilities  of prospective employees, and  in these examinations, they rarely ask for gender descriptions.  

In conclusion, disputes apart, while choosing the candidate, businesses should focus on education, skills and psychological capacities, rather than whether they are males or females. This will truly help in blurring gender differences, and present equitable opportunities to both sexes.

Many offenders commit more crimes after serving the first punishments. Why is this happening and what measures can be taken to tackle these problems?

Many offenders commit more crimes after serving the first punishments. Why is this happening and what measures can be taken to tackle these problems?

The world is witnessing an unusual behaviour where those convicted for the first time tend to repeat their deviant behavior upon completing their first sentence. This essay will share a few reasons for this propensity, and suggest some viable solution to overcome this predicament. 

To start with, a lobby strongly asserts that the first retribution may not be severe enough to make the culprit realise the intensity of the wrongdoing. In other words, many serious crimes: murder, assault and many more, are handed a nominal punishment: doing community service. This motivates antisocial elements to indulge into more unlawful activities since they know that there will be a petty punishment for major offence. For example, a recent survey revealed that many first time law breakers seldom shy away from partaking in endeavors aimed at infringing laws since they know that they would be let off with a light penalty, which they can easily fulfill. 

Having said that, there are a number of solutions available at hand. The lawmakers should resort to strict punitive measures to dissuade criminals, thereby  inciting a fear that illegal actions will fetch serious consequences every time they engage in any unlawful undertakings. Moreover, the government should endeavor to train such people in alternative trades so as to allow them to join the mainstream after their first sentence. This will help effectively  disengage them from their deviant ways, provide them employment and meaning to life, and keep them away from hideous thoughts.

In conclusion, the causes for repetitive unlawful behavior is absence of strict punishment for, which motivates the first-timers to continue with antisocial means, but the remedies are imposing stringent laws to make them understand the gravity of their misdemeanors, and policy makers could create jobs to keep them busy and employed.

All types of advertising should be banned because they are damaging to society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

All types of advertising should be banned because they are damaging to society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

A general perception of contemporary times is aligned with a view that there should be an embargo on all kinds of adverts since they provoke harmful practices. I partially agree with this perspective and shall discuss in the following paragraphs.

Some propound that adverts have an unfavorable influence, especially on the younger generation. This is to say, young minds are beguiled by the virtual and tempting presentation of fast food, laden with high levels of saturated fat; consequently, pushing them into over-eating, making them corpulent.  Moreover, the multitude of ads being pushed to the consumers are unregulated, forcing many to squander money on purposeless and unintentional purchases. For example, a recent study revealed that there has been a dramatic increment in the mindless spending; similar products are portrayed on screens repeatedly making them buy unconsciously and without need.

However, many debunk these allegations, and feel that adverts hold an imperative place: they act as a medium of disseminating information. The campaign of Polio vaccine national televisions and newspapers in India,  helped engender extensive awareness, persuading citizens to join hands in eradicating this deadliest disease. Thus, proscribing ads will make people oblivious of this ailment, allowing it  to bounce back. Similarly, the world of media creates employment for many: directors, acoustic technicians, actors, and so forth; consequently, augmenting the employment index every year. To corroborate, in Japan, The House of Usher, a multinational advertising company, renders employment to thousands, thereby decreasing unemployment levels.

In conclusion, considering the aforementioned views, one must weigh the consequences of prohibiting publicity since these act as information channels and support many by providing jobs. Therefore, only unnecessary adverts promoting unhealthy habits and extravagance must be curtailed, while the ones that fulfill the purpose of spreading awareness should be allowed to continue.  

Many people believe that reducing the speed limit is the best option for road safety improvement. Do you think there are other measures that could be put in place? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?

Many people believe that reducing the speed limit is the best option for road safety improvement. Do you think there are other measures that could be put in place? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?

Nowadays, as safety on roads is becoming a major concern, alleviating speed range seems to be the best solution. I believe there are some other possible and practical ways to tackle this problem, which will be discussed in the following paragraphs, along with their benefits and drawbacks.

To start with, one of the practical ways is to install traffic cameras on the roads. The main advantage of this is that many will be dissuaded by the presence of the cameras and stay within the required permitted speed; consequently, reducing the number of accidents on road due to overspeeding. However, dispensing such an arrangement will cost several arms and legs to governments. Not only the installation but  also their upkeep will add more expense on the shoulders of the lawmakers.

Moreover, another approach is to increase penalty fees or impose sentences since none will be interested in getting fined, paying hefty charges or being punished. Not only will many vehicle users think twice about breaking the speed limit, this will also generate extra revenue for the state via collecting fines. This money can be utilized for upgrading the safety on road or improving overall infrastructure. Having said that, the con of this method is corruption as many will pursue the officer on duty to take bribes in order to avoid paying a colossal amount of fines. 

In conclusion, there are other viable ways to implement and ensure public safety on roads: increasing fines and installing cameras but these methods come at a price: expensive for the lawmakers and chances of bribing are some of the drawbacks. Hence the government should weigh all the approaches before implementing.

Some people have decided to reduce the number of times they fly every year or to stop flying altogether. Do you think the environmental benefits of this development outweigh the disadvantages for individuals and businesses?

Some people have decided to reduce the number of times they fly every year or to stop flying altogether. Do you think the environmental benefits of this development outweigh the disadvantages for individuals and businesses?

Benefits 

• Environmental pollution mitigation will alleviate disorders and disease 
• Noise pollution will be reduced 
• Destruction of ecologies will be prevented 
• Save money spent on climate control will be saved 

Drawbacks 

• People are foregoing the privilege of visiting their loved ones and acquaintances in person, especially those living overseas; weakening bonds 
• This propensity is also causing people to circumvent opportunities for receiving better medical care, education and employment opportunities, 
• Cultural exchange will stop 
• This will hamper business in several ways: tourism will come to a standstill, causing unemployment in the biggest commercial sector: tourism   
• Technology transfer will stop 

Undeniably, relinquishing flying, or minimizing it, can fetch a few short-term gains, it is likely to have severe ramifications not only for people but also for society at large.

The lobby supporting eliminating reliance on air travel assumes that it would force airlines to decrease the number of flights, resulting in less fuel being burnt. Consequently, the release of pollutants and greenhouse gases would be mitigated in great proportions: airplanes are considered to be the most polluting vehicles on this planet, and with fewer aircraft  getting airborne will mean reduced pollution. However, this presupposition lacks substance and proponents of this trend are barking up the wrong tree; air travel contributes a miniscule fraction to the ecological complications.

In contrast, this tendency will certainly cause several problems, both at micro and macro level, and the world will resign to the pre-aviation era, wherein travelling overseas will become onerous. Many will be deprived of opportunities to meet and reunite with their loved ones, and satisfy  themselves with virtual calls, gradually weakening their bonds. Similarly, those seeking better education, medical intervention, employment, and so forth, will be unable to access these. 

Additionally, the domino effect at a broader level will be far greater as this proclevity will jeopardize  the global efforts aimed at promoting cultural exchange, creating bonhomie between different communities, and preventing conflicts. Moreover, multiple economic sectors will be severely harmed, especially the tourism and hospitality industries, because the lesser number of travellers will cause closure of numerous businesses, engendering joblessness and lack of business. 

To conclude, although intentions driving this behavior are benign, the aftermath will result in unwarranted circumstances, and hamper commercial activities, as well as lives of individuals. Therefore, it can be said that the challenges resulting from this attitude overwhelm any advantages gained.

Some people believe that educating children at home provides more benefits than sending them to school. Do the advantages of home-schooling outweigh the disadvantages?

Some people believe that educating children at home provides more benefits than sending them to school. Do the advantages of home-schooling outweigh the disadvantages?

It is believed that sending little ones to school is less beneficial as compared to home schooling. This essay will discuss whether the merits outshine the drawbacks of this proposed system.

A lobby asserts that personal home tuitions provide absolute attention to learners. This is to say that, teachers focus only on one child without any distractions, or distributing attention to other students: a common feature of conventional classroom settings. Moreover, the curriculum and methodology can be adapted, or molded, according to the ability and preference of pupils. This aids in eliminating unnecessary subjects and choosing the right tools for teaching: presentation, videos, and so on, bolstering  the learning process and enhancing intrapersonal skills.

Having said that, a group strongly propounds that this arrangement has downsides too. One of them is that the children might have underdeveloped social skills since they are excluded from the everyday group afforded in a classroom, where students mingle with each other emotionally and socially. This can impede growth by turning youngsters into timid personalities, incapable of communicating effectively, and lacking confidence. Socialization is extremely essential for growing minds and an appropriate environment can only be rendered by classroom settings, which if missed can leave indelible marks on the young persona. Additionally, such systems are exorbitantly priced, taking them out of  reach for many families. For example, in Japan, many parents - even if they want to- are unable to afford home schooling services since these cost several arms and legs, and are beyond their financial abilities.

To conclude, the demerits of bringing formal tuition to home surely exceed the merits as the sheer cost of hiring personal schooling tutors is expensive and young learners are likely to suffer from lack of interpersonal skills, which could negatively affect them as adults.

Some people think that parents should pay money to encourage their children to help with housework (cleaning, cooking etc.). Others think that they should not pay money. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Some people think that parents should pay money to encourage their children to help with housework (cleaning, cooking etc.). Others think that they should not pay money. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

A great public discourse of contemporary times is aligned with the view whether to persuade youngsters to contribute to household chores by being compensated with monetary benefits: while some uphold this view, others believe the contrary. This essay will discuss both sides and share a viable opinion.

The proposal of persuading youngsters to contribute to household chores by using monetary benefits as a motivation has become a controversial issue, with some upholding it, others rejecting it. This essay will discuss both sides and share a viable opinion.

To start with, a lobby propounds that children learn the value of money and hard work. This is to say, when they are paid for the house work, young minds value earning money by working their fingers to the bone, leaving an enduring impact on them about such privileges not being accessible by sitting idle. For example, in Japan, to teach the importance of money, it is a custom for parents to reward their wards by completing the household tasks. 

Nevertheless, the skeptics protest and assert that such endeavors are an imperative component of family obligations, wherein everyone is expected to partake without expecting financial benefits, and thus, should not be in lieu of money. The children are a part of the family and by doing the tasks: laundry, doing dishes and much more, they are fulfilling the responsibility towards the house and family, which they will have to do on their own initiative as adults, and this system could upset the family arrangement and  environment.  

Moreover, this could have far-fetching ramifications, daughters and sons would become greedy, precipitating into situations where they might start thinking that every work will fetch them monetary resources, causing distortions in their psyche, and impeding their integration with society, where one has to often engage selflessly for the upheaval of community,  

In conclusion, considering the aforementioned views, I believe that indulging in house duties is a responsibility of children and does not need any kind of monetary inducements/ stimulants in return.

In schools and universities, some girls tend to choose arts subjects, while boys choose to study science subjects. What are the reasons? Do you think this trend should be changed?

In schools and universities, some girls tend to choose arts subjects, while boys choose to study science subjects. What are the reasons? Do you think this trend should be changed?

It has been observed that females are inclined to study art, whereas males tend to attend science subjects. I firmly believe that this tendency is mainly caused by mental perceptions and social expectations, and should be eliminated.

To begin with, many people still believe that boys are naturally good at STEM subjects. This belief is deeply rooted in society, and even many women have started to accept it. In developing countries, parents often expect their sons to study science so they can get good jobs in the future, while daughters are encouraged to study simple subjects, get married, embrace family responsibilities, and join less challenging professional domains. Similarly, science education often costs more money, so parents prefer to invest in the studies of their sons. 

However, men and women have equal abilities and potential. If given the same opportunities, many women can do just as well as men in science. Famous female scientists like Marie Curie, Ada Lovelace, and Emilie du Châtelet have already proved that they can achieve great heights in these fields. The problem of gender discrimination in education should stop completely, and fortunately. in many societies are acting in that direction, with an increasing number of women already studying engineering and technology. This trend needs to proliferate fast to enable mankind to  realize its full potential, otherwise it will be bereft of talent that is not confined to sex, but is more conspicuously highlighted with innate abilities.   

To conclude, empowering women is very important for the development of any country. Females should be persuaded to study and choose any subject they like, including science. This change will bring more positive results and help create a fair, equal, and prosperous society.

Some people believe that anybody can be a teacher, if he is trained properly. Others think that there are some personal qualities a good teacher should have. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement?

Some people believe that anybody can be a teacher, if he is trained properly. Others think that there are some personal qualities a good teacher should have. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement?

In this contemporary era, education plays a crucial role by virtue of being the key to success. A few assume that anyone can become a tutor if they undergo training, while others believe that teaching requires certain essential personal qualities. I am personally in favour of the latter view.

To begin with the former view, undeniably, training can turn one into effective tutors as it can render them  necessary knowledge about the planning curriculum and strategies,  including creating lesson planning, and classroom management. Additionally, this can enhance their confidence by imparting them knowhow about up-to-date teaching strategies and policies that can enhance the learning experience of pupils. For instance, in a recent report by New York Times,  modern teaching concepts embrace use of non-retributive measures and use of student-friendly engagement policies like interactive classroom learning, allowing educators to structure their lessons aimed at removing obstacles facing pupils, and encouraging them to involve profoundly in sessions, thereby making them study better.  

Having said that, no state-of-the-art programs promising disseminating teaching strategies can replicate the innate quality educators require: empathy and sensitivity, moral ethics, efficient communication, and passion to teach, are primary qualities required to effectively negotiate this task.  These traits help one to understand the basic needs of their audience in the classroom, and allocate appropriate time to each according to their needs as well, so  that they can learn on their own without feeling embarrassed, and alienated. Such teaching professionals have always helped churn out excellent academic outcomes. 

In conclusion, although training is an essential part for modern schooling as this can apprize professionals involved in this occupation about latest tools and policies, a successful teacher is the one with inbuilt abilities: empathizing, and connecting with individual students effectively.  

Some people think that newspapers are the best way to learn about current events. However, others believe that they can learn news better through other media. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some people think that newspapers are the best way to learn about current events. However, others believe that they can learn news better through other media. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Why Newspaper 

• Authenticated  
• Comprehensive news 
• Printed words have the ability to be retained longer 

Why other  media

• Up to date - minute by minute information 
• Portability - better than carrying clumsy newspapers 
• Graphical content - videos and photos - making it easier to grab news without paying attention to the task of reading  

The advent of the digital era has laid multiple sources of gaining updates about occurrences from world over. While many still commit their allegiance to the newspaper, while some are more keen about using other mediums. This essay will analyze this suggestion and emanate a justified conclusion whether the newspaper is better comparatively to other sources.

Newspapers have endured their reputation as the most reliable source of delivering daily news. The reports presented in this tool are accurate and authenticated, always verified from genuine sources; the journalists and reporters involved in gathering inputs are quite professionally trained, have investigative approach, and are generally unbiased, and thus, present the information that illustrates the true picture of any event rather than acting partisan.  

Moreover, traditionally, printed words enjoy greater appeal than what is accessed on the screen. Since childhood, one is accustomed to reading books and magazines, and they develop an affinity to these mediums, by virtue of the fact that printed words have the ability to get permanently etched in the minds of readers. To illustrate, many accept that they love reading paper versions of the Washington Post, and New York Times, due to being able to remember  each word of reports thoroughly for long. 

However, the other school of thought, especially the younger generation, depend on alternate means such as the internet, social media and radio etc., for this means can provide them minute by minute updates. For example, platforms like twitter, facebook and news portals, and TV-based media channels cover current events as they are happening, often with videos.

In conclusion, I feel that even though other ways of getting informed offer speed, newspapers will remain the best medium of delivering news by virtue of being controlled by genuine sources and professionals.  

As countries develop and people’s standard of living improves, environmental damage naturally increases and cannot be completely avoided. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

As countries develop and people’s standard of living improves, environmental damage naturally increases and cannot be completely avoided. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In the contemporary era, many are inclined towards better living standards, which has myriad implications on nature and the global environment. However, I fail to subscribe to this notion because advanced technology and awareness can play a significant role in protecting the earth.

To commence with, improvement in living standards has incremented needs in all aspects, such as food production, urban infrastructural development, and setting up industries and projects to meet all demands. This has increased the demand of rural and urban land to accommodate housings, factories, ports, food industries, and so forth, thereby resulting in deforestation, releasing carbon, creating pollution not only in air, but water, and land, affecting the overall environment adversely. For instance, many developing cities like Delhi, are facing humongous air pollution due to a surge in the number of vehicles on roads and increased demand for industrialisation.

However, these environmental damages can be controlled by various state-of-the-art methods and practices, government intervention plays a crucial role here, strict regulations towards recycling and reuse holds great promises for safeguarding the environment from reckless abuse of natural resources. This will allow enhancements in the quality of life without impacting the environment. Additionally, usage of solar and wind power, sustainable building infrastructures and materials will reduce the demand of natural resources, as well as render all necessary comforts and commodities necessary for human consumption. For example, governments of Asian countries are promoting solar power for their residential buildings to alleviate the production of electricity and encouraging environmental awareness.

To conclude, better living standards can be achieved by awareness among the people and policy makers, sustainable concepts, stricter guidelines for manufacturing industries for pollution mitigation, these introductions methods will definitely control the damage to the environment.

Nowadays more and more people want to live by themselves. What are the reasons? Is it a positive or negative trend?

Nowadays more and more people want to live by themselves. What are the reasons? Is it a positive or negative trend?

In contemporary societies, many want to survive independently. This essay will discuss the reasons for this shift, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of these trends on individuals with a plausible conclusion.

Many are inclined towards their personal freedom, whether young children, or adolescents, and also elders.  All of them are adapting to modern trends because they wish to enjoy their life when they are not under any restrictions, and thus, they are able to focus more effectively. Both students and working professionals are able to study, and work, effectively and concentrate, when their surroundings lack distractions. For instance, as per a study by NOC University in New Delhi, students, living  in hostels and boarding schools than their counterparts living with their families, can achieve much better academic outcomes.  

Moreover, one becomes much more mature emotionally when they perform challenging activities on their own, fostering the capability to make major decisions for themselves. Besides this, they also become financially responsible, which is a great achievement in terms of self-growth. To exemplify,  several smart investors admit that living away from home taught them to earn, save, invest and derive profits from their investments. 

Nevertheless, some report facing challenges while living away from their loved ones, and admit becoming prone to loneliness, mental health issues, dull emotional behavior, and so forth. Likewise, some also tend to become apathetic towards their friends and family, but these can be overcome by remaining socially active and staying in touch with the loved ones using modern tools.   

To conclude, living alone has several advantages: one becoming independent both emotionally and financially, but some do face challenges: loneliness, but these can be surmounted if individuals keep themselves open to socialisation and interact with their loved ones more often.

Some people think parents should read or tell stories to their children, others say it is not important and can be replaced by watching TV and movies instead. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some people think parents should read or tell stories to their children, others say it is not important and can be replaced by watching TV and movies instead. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Several commentators profess that people should narrate allegories to their wards, while others believe that this practice can be replaced with modern audio-visual  tools. I will analyze both the views in the following paragraphs, and draw a plausible conclusion. 

Some propound that the age-old ritual of fathers and mothers delivering tales to young minds afford umpteen benefits: it enables them to boost relationships and spend some quality time with their offspring, especially in times when overwhelming schedules face working professionals. To exemplify, a research by Ontario Times, revealed that many struggle hard to spare some quality time with their little ones, and the bedtime stories are deemed to be the best way to spend some moments of togetherness in an entertaining way. 

Also, it is a way of rendering the moral values and ethics to young minds by sharing varied fables with them. To corroborate, a child specialist, Dr. Juliet stated that sharing stories with wards is the best way to teach them about ethical values and lessons; youngsters trust their elders more than anyone else, and believe in whatever the latter tells them.

Nevertheless, the skeptics vehemently opine that this tradition  can easily be superseded by technology: concurrent times have witnessed that juveniles today are tech savvy and feel more comfortable with gadgets. Stories  served on TV, and in films, are more appealing for them due to the rich graphic and audio content. For instance, a research conducted by George Brown, revealed that eighty percent of children like to watch cartoon movies, and movies, due to attractive visuals and accompanying sound and music. 

To conclude, undeniably, technology is useful in umpteen ways, but the stories narrated by parents aid in strengthening bonds  between two generations, and an appropriate way to transfer the moral teachings. 

Some people believe watching films is a waste of time. Do you agree or disagree?

Some people believe watching films is a waste of time. Do you agree or disagree?

There is an ongoing debate as some think that engaging with movies squanders time. However, I believe that this medium is a rich source of entertainment since these act as a great  leisure time endeavor. 

To begin with, globally, people watch movies in their leisure time for entertainment: a rich mix of visuals with audios engage viewers in a more interactive way: emotionally and psychologically, through inspirational, fiction, biographies, thrillers and comedy, among others, helping one unwind effectively. For instance, the University of Auckland, organised a weekend activity where they invited students and faculties for a movie show inside the campus after their usual day, and observed that people relaxed, and enjoyed, while watching the movie, and admitted that most of them used movies to rejuvenate and be with their close ones.

Similarly, this mode acts as a way to create and strengthen bonds between friends and family members since when watching a motion picture at home or in a cinema, the whole family or group stays together. To exemplify, Indian families children and elders watch movies together on their weekends and holidays, which helps them to spend some quality time together, after their busy weekday schedules, and for most of the respondents to a survey by Filmfare, this was a regular ritual. Also, people who watch movies expand their knowledge about different subjects such as culture, traditions and behavior of people in different countries, thereby broadening their perspectives.

To conclude, watching movies, instead of being a useless exercise, forms the most important part of leisure activity, which lifts mood and prepares viewers for the next task, and thus, these prove to be highly productive in multiple ways for every generation. 

The government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is commonly perceived that policy makers should restrict content, portraying brutality, being shown on audio-visual media, to stem unlawful acts of violent nature. I partly concur with this notion, and will be elucidating my stand in the following paragraphs.  

To start with, television and motion pictures enjoy a profound influence on society,  and the way illegal acts exhibiting savagery are glamorized, viewers, especially juveniles,  try to emulate whatever they see on the screen. They consider such acts being taken as normal, and in the process, expose themselves, and others harmful consequences.   To exemplify, in 2010, a student of Delhi Public School, Bhopal, killed a classmate, and during the police investigation, the child said that he was performing an act from a DXY movie where the actor killed the negative character by pushing them from a 21st floor building for a stunt.

However, violent crimes cannot be controlled just by monitoring entertainment media, there are a myriad of other factors which play an important role such as poverty, mental-health issues, unemployment, well-being, lifestyle, locality, and most importantly,  lack of education. In most cases, it has been observed that those threatened by society, suffering from psychological issues, get involved in criminal endeavors that are brutal in nature. Curtailing such content on visual media will instead make society oblivious of such incidence of law breaking, and make it vulnerable to dire outcomes.  

To conclude, restricting the television and movies access may help reduce crime and violence to some extent, but I think this is unlikely to completely eliminate criminal undertaking aimed at harming others unless policymakers take prudent steps like educating society, rendering social security, employment, which will play a major catalyst in mitigating such a malady.

Tipping is a common practice at restaurants in many countries. Some people believe tipping is a great way to show service workers you appreciate them, while others believe it should be the responsibility of the boss or company to pay their workers. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Tipping is a common practice at restaurants in many countries. Some people believe tipping is a great way to show service workers you appreciate them, while others believe it should be the responsibility of the boss or company to pay their workers. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Why tips should be given. 

• Express gratitude for good services
• Helps motivate personnel to improve their levels of commitment 
• Encourages  personalized services 
• Helps compensate for low wages 
• Assists in keeping dining affordable  

It is the onus of employers 

• It is their onus since their workers  are serving 
• This can help prevent bias in service 
• Customers are paying service charges 
• Promote fairness of treatment among the staff 

Customers have been rewarding service personnel at eateries for an excellent dining experience for long, but some criticise this practise, and assert that compensating for work is the liability of the organization.The following paragraphs shall critically analyse this matter,and highlight the support for the system of offering tips.

Affording  some money in lieu of outstanding waiting is deemed as a way to express gratitude for the comforts extended while one is having food at the restaurant. Right from initial greetings and taking orders, to ensuring serving the correct combination of eatables and drinks, and clearing the table, needs one involved in negotiating these tasks, to have patience, and stay polite throughout the duration,and those exhibiting these qualities(virtues) should be recognised.For instance nearly 90% of visitors of establishments like Pind Baluchi admit, the brilliant administration of food, and affable behaviour of waiters, tempted them to render monetary rewards. 

Similarly, this arrangement is also helping the hospitality industry create an incentive for customer-facing workers to raise the standards of services, and interact with clients enthusiastically, thereby engendering a bonhomie(sweetness) between the organisation and its subscribers. Undeniably,this financial stimulant has aided various restaurants in creating loyalty among their clientele. 

Nevertheless, those against this setting, suggest that extending monetary stimulants for good service is the obligation of establishments since those visiting also pay service charges besides the food bills. However,this view lacks substance because serving guests is an extremely hard(arduous/taunting/complicated/uphill) job, and thus, if someone gains recognition for  demonstrating perfection, they are deserving candidates.

Therefore, this method of praising brilliant behaviour  and support provided by service  workers is quite justified; it boosts the morale of servers, and coaxes them to perform better, enhancing the image of their employers consequently.

Rewarding the service personnel at eateries is ubiquitous practice, for it is considered as an acknowledgement for an excellent dining  experience, but some disapprove of this practice, asserting that compensating for work is the liability of the organisation. However, the latter view is unconvincing and impractical.

Many people believe that interviews are the most effective way to select suitable job candidates. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Many people believe that interviews are the most effective way to select suitable job candidates. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

In the contemporary era, employers believe that interviews are the suitable way to short list personnel. In this essay, I will be discussing this method of screening critically, and sharing a plausible conclusion.

Undeniably, evaluating interviewees for any jobs opening through face to face, or online assessment meetings  - usually carried out in multiple phases - helps recruiters to understand capabilities and match them with requirements for respective openings. This can assist in analyzing technical skills, and seasoning, and aid in determining whether the prospective worker would be able to respond to the work requirements of the organization. 

Having said that, some do not find this method efficient enough; many times, those appearing for interviews are nervous and scared, and thus are unable to express themself, and many highly talented and skilled people become nervous while reflecting upon their knowledge and are judged on that basis, and sometimes rejected. 

Likewise, in some circumstances, interviewers judge candidates just by appearance and personality, and lose highly knowledgeable workers due to biases. For example, some technically proficient individuals are overlooked due to them hailing from the countryside, and their technical skills are ignored. This makes it imperative, as per this lobby, to use other supplementary methods: psychometric and personal aptitude tests, along  with the traditional system of interviews.  For instance, mostly design companies have started integrating technical rounds and assignments for interior designers, architects and graphics designers to determine their knowledge of technical by-laws with anthropometry and out-of-the-box design skills which can only be understood through work samples and software skills at the same time.

To conclude, the interview definitely plays an important role while selecting employees with a combination of screening them without bias and providing an equal opportunity is the best and most effective way to select candidates.

The use of CCTV (close circuit television) cameras in streets, stations, shops and other public places has increased rapidly in recent years. Although we are told that these cameras help in the fight against crime, some people are opposed to their use, they believe that everyone has a right to privacy. (serve more as an invasion of our privacy than as a protection of our safety). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Although we are told that these cameras help in the fight against crime, some people are opposed to their use, they believe that everyone has a right to privacy. (serve more as an invasion of our privacy than as a protection of our safety). To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Technology is evolving day-by-day for ensuring the safety of people, and CCTV cameras are one of those tools being used in public spaces even though many resent using these devices, for they allege these encroach their privacy. This essay will discuss both the views and come to a plausible conclusion.

On the one hand, undeniably closed circuit cameras are a great surveillance equipment, many believe that constant monitoring disrupts normal movement and many feel uncomfortable while performing their daily activity. Moreover, some of the CCTV footage recording could be misused by hackers at multiple platforms, most of which are used on social media. Nowadays, many are worried that they might become victims of unsolicited demands if the recordings are leaked, affecting their public persona, and costing them money.

On the other hand, these innovative machines play an important role in affording safety and security; these render an effective way to find evidence related to crime scenes, such as murder, theft, assault, eve-teasing, vandalism, and so forth. These act as a backbone for the law enforcement agencies in combating and controlling offences, and also extending safety to people, especially on roads.  To exemplify, installation of CCTV cameras at traffic signals has reduced the instances of traffic infringements as traffic control centers are able to detect the vehicle number and penalize those breaking the rules.

To conclude, I believe objections being raised by the skeptical lobby are lacking in substance: even though public domains are meant for the free moment at large, making sure that these spaces should render a safe and secure experience to all, and this monitoring  apparatus is pivotal to that goal. Thus, I completely disapprove of any reservations against this innovation.   

In many countries the consumption of fast food has increased dramatically in recent years. What has caused this increase? What effect might it have on individuals and society?

In many countries the consumption of fast food has increased dramatically in recent years. What has caused this increase? What effect might it have on individuals and society?

Reason for the increase in usage of fast food?

• Hectic lifestyle - majorly no time for cooking and this forcefully forcing people to consume fast food, most of the food is ready to cook in 5 mins.
• Most of the industry attracts humans with advertisements and colourful products.

Effects:

• Fast food is processed food and these foods are with high cholesterol and glyceroid elements which are causing diseases of the modern era,...such as sugar, high BP, obesity etc and directly impacting an individual's life.
• People may be saving money and time with a healthy traditional cooking lifestyle but these habits of having fast food are affecting national health and people are now investing more on healthcare and insurance. 

“Fast food consumption has become a ubiquitous trend, and many are inclined towards such goods. In this essay I will discuss the reason for the rise of fast food, and the effects on people and overall society.

Undeniably, the rising consumption of convenience food is driven by the flexibility and promise to douse hunger anywhere and anytime, without one needing to slog in kitchens, or wait for their order to be served at restaurants. The hectic lifestyles, leaves one with little time to focus on preparing meals at home, and rather engage with ultra-processed options. For instance, a study by Bangalore Food Grading Corporation shows that there has been a 80% hike in sales of instant eateries established in the last 5 years, directly indicating a surge in consumption of instant food items.

Similarly, organizations engaged in preparing and selling such edible goods attract consumers using attractive packaging to create a temptation. Additionally, aggressive advertisements involving renowned people in endorsing these goods, besides branding is encouraging this propensity, and pushing customers to buy the products,  thereby leading to a spurt in consumption of such edible goods. 

However, owing to the high fat and low nutrient content, convenience foods are directly impacting health, causing multiple health conditions: obesity, high cholesterol, blood pressure and irritable bowel syndromes, among others, and jeopardizing human health. Consequently, people are forced to invest a large part of their incomes into medical insurance. Similarly, governments must allocate higher budgets for health infrastructures to cater to rising health implications of heightening engagement with ultra-processed edible goods. 

To conclude, an increase in fast food consumption is fueled by busy lifestyles and easy accessibility, which is severely  affecting health unfavorably, and many countries are forced to spend more on combating disease rather than ensuring well-being.

Nowadays larger distances are travelled by people to work and study on a daily basis. Some consider it to be a negative development, while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Nowadays larger distances are travelled by people to work and study on a daily basis. Some consider it to be a negative development, while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Many working professionals and students commute each day to distant locations for their studies or work. Some debate about commuting longer distances can be detrimental, while others argue that this can be beneficial. This essay will discuss both viewpoints critically and discuss my own perspective.

To start with, it is quite a major concern about travelling far to the desired location. Everyday commuting can be hectic, in cities due to traffic jams and this slowly becomes a usual day activity which can turn lives chaotic. Due to these long hours, people are not able to devote time to their loved ones. On top of that, due to such travel routines, and unstable hectic journeys many become mentally and physically lethargic, which in the long term, makes them irritable, thereby disturbing their personal life.

On the other hand,  this pattern offers certain benefits: one can use the time spent on journeys for their hobbies. For example, numerous individuals admit being able to spare some moments to read their favorite books; listen to the music they like, and even watch movies; and talk to their friends on phones, something that might be out of bounds for them.   

Moreover, it has  become possible for people to afford residence in newly built modern housing societies that also offer larger recreational space at a lower price and healthy and green surroundings, which are away from traffic and air pollution, and still seek outstanding opportunities for jobs and education, located at a distance.  

To conclude, both the situations have their own virtue, while I believe that travelling longer distances away from metropolitan urban concrete forests have multiple pros, such as a comfortable lifestyle and chance to practice hobbies, by affording oneself some personal time to neutralise a fast paced lifestyle. 

Many working professionals and students have to commute a longer distance for their workplace and studies. And there is ongoing debate about whether commuting longer distances can be a hectic or uncomfortable situation for many, while others argue that travelling time can be utilized which an individual can give to themselves. This essay will discuss both viewpoints before presenting my own perspective.

Childhood obesity is becoming a serious problem in many countries. Explain the main causes and effects of this problem, and suggest some possible solutions.

Nowadays, globally, juveniles are becoming corpulent: a critical health concern, and due to this, they face numerous health issues, and  their physical appearance also suffers. I will discuss the causes of this, its effects and how this malady can be neutralised world wide.

The main cause of this menace directly depends on food intake: the younger generation eats junk snacks which have high preservative content. In the contemporary world, parents themselves promote eating packed items, and using cold drinks, unintentionally engendering the habit of consuming a calorie rich diet. Additionally, youngsters are surrounded by technology, and rather than going outdoors, they like to play indoor games on mobiles and computers, which is hampering their physical health, and leading to excessive weight.

Those becoming corpulent at a young age, encounter a negative impact in their daily social life. This adversely affects their mental condition as they feel left out by virtue of becoming a butt of jokes for their friends. Also, this disrupts their physical wellness, leading to major life long diseases such as blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and so on.

To overcome this, schools and parents must educate youngsters about the ramifications this can have on them. Besides this, their food habits must be transformed such as regulating their intake of junk food, and replacing it with home-made meals.  Likewise, the formal tuition can organise weekly outdoor games activities to create interest for outdoor games among children. Similarly, mothers and fathers should also plan outdoor activities to let their little ones engage with active lifestyles.

In hindsight, the unhealthy food intake  and indolent lifestyles are fueling corpulence among young individuals, and  exposing them to several challenges, but concerned efforts and schools and families can  help surmount this menace.
