Trees are essential for the existence of the human race as they provide the oxygen that we need to survive. Yet, daily all around the globe, large areas of woodland are being destroyed.

Trees are essential for the existence of the human race as they provide the oxygen that we need to survive. Yet, daily all around the globe, large areas of woodland are being destroyed. Many people feel that they as individuals can do nothing and that only governments and large companies can halt the destruction. To what extent do you agree with this?

 

Trees Are Important For Human Kind 

Rapidly shrinking forest cover has raised serious concerns among many countries and has shifted the focus of global society to finding viable ways of saving the planet from ecological disaster. Many environmentalists have come up with numerous suggestions and have called for individual participation but most people are clueless about this, though there are some who feel otherwise.

Common people would hardly be able to make any noticeable impact in a program of such colossal dimensions due to lack of necessary resources and authority to carry out such tasks. Initiatives aiming at saving green cover need infusion of extensive resources including money and manpower, and individual citizens do not have access to both. Furthermore, there is a lack of direction among citizens and most prefer to stay away from making contributions in such social initiatives. People feel that it would impossible for any program at the community level to survive in the long run without tangible contributions from government and corporate sector.

 Moreover, schemes such as saving Jungles need involvement of many countries at global level as saving greenery is not the responsibility of a single nation or an individual because this kind of initiative cannot make a big impact until and unless there is a full blooded intervention by various countries.

However, many people feel that each person can make sizable contributions. Any noble mission must start from the grass root level and it is people who can create awareness in the society about the ill effects of deforestation and generate public opinion aimed at protecting green cover.

In conclusion, I personally feel that although it is hard for people to go alone on this difficult and rather uphill task but their contributions in saving forest cover still can go a long way.   

Academic achievement at school or university is only true measure of a person’s intelligence. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Academic achievement

Today when more and more and people are investing their financial resources and efforts to obtain higher educational qualifications. This aspect has resulted in a simultaneous debate across the society as to what can be taken as a true parameter to gauge an individual’s capabilities. Some definitely vouch for academic feats while others feel natural instincts and experience gained over years has more impact on a person’s intelligence.

In the last century, more venues have been established to impart higher education to people with strong intentions to achieve higher qualifications on grounds of their aspirations of gaining respect in their social circles. For them, good academic record is passport to better employment opportunities. As per them, an individual’s capabilities can never be gauged on basis of natural instincts.

Besides personal and professional factors, as each field becomes more and more specialized, some do need better educational feats. To adopt and practice these professions, one must possess minimum standards of education that are regarded as basic specifications of relevant field for e.g. one cannot become a doctor or an engineer without getting minimum relevant graduation.

On the contrary, some sections firmly believe that intelligence in not at all a factor that needs a stamp of varsities and degrees. It has been observed in past that most prominent of the inventors and innovators had not even completed their formal education and their concepts still hold true and educated lobby actually follows patterns pioneered by them. Most prominent examples are Bill gates and Dhirubhai Ambani.

To conclude, in my view there is definitely a link between a person’s mental capabilities and academic credentials, but that is definitely limited to only getting an initial boost and rest depends on an individual’s natural learning powers and abilities to negotiate situations.

With the increasing use and development of new technology, many machines are now able to do the work which people used to perform. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend?

Advancement and innovation has led to proliferation of Mechanization. Due to this more and more people have started using machines in almost every field and every walk of life. This has raised a debate of sorts among different sections of society. The people who support adoption of modern technology are quite upbeat about the new developments, while some people more adapted to the traditional ways of working are apprehensive about long term impact of latest introductions.

The latest introductions have enabled the humans to use modern machinery to their advantage as now they are able to carry out the tasks more efficiently and effectively. Mechanization has proven beneficial especially for industrial sector. It has brought about a sea change in the way the work is carried out in factories.  The highly advanced equipment is capable of minimizing errors and optimizing various processes. This has led to reduction in wastage of material and time and also helped the industries to maintain a close control on the quality of goods being produced.

Besides reducing the errors and wastage, the mechanized equipment is also able to work tirelessly without needing any break or rejuvenation. The machinery needs minimum maintenance and no off-days like their human counterparts. This has enabled the companies to strive for achieving higher production levels within a shorter time frame.

On the contrary, the spread of mechanization has its own perils as an increased reliance on machinery has generated new problems like unemployment as more and more companies are substituting human workers with machinery. Some experts allay fears about the deterioration of in and skill levels among people executing tasks with help of machinery.

To conclude, I personally feel that although mechanization has several benefits, its negative impacts can never be overlooked.
