No  

·         There have been cases, although rare, infrequent, sporadic which have cast a doubt on the sanctity of this profession. Some people are stimulated by commercial compulsions: viewership and readership ratings 

·         Political correctness has also had a corrupting influence on them. They are driven by the majority opinion. They avoid derision and indignation of the masses and their fraternity

Of late, news reporters are losing their followers due to many being lured into misreporting, by virtue of certain inducements. I shall be elaborating this  and the contra view on this issue and also share some inputs on ideal traits of a reporter.43

Although in small numbers, some harbor suspicions towards the intentions of correspondents, who they allege adopting a partisan  attitude towards certain people: influential and elite, and try to manipulate the news to favor the latter. There have been instances where some reporters have resorted to presenting edited and distorted information to benefit those, flooding them with monetary resources and other facilities. 

Nevertheless, those vouching for the journalists profess that the public indignation invited upon for these people is unjust. It is not these scribes who are swayed by inducements, but the media houses that engage  them. It is a grim reality that most of the news presenting agencies are owned by industry moguls who want reporting in their favor, whereas, reporters are always at odds with their employers. This can be elucidated by the fact that most of these professionals keep hopping jobs in search of an  establishment that is guided  by true virtues  of journalism.

Journalists have always relied upon their transparent and non-judgemental attitude towards work. They are rarely driven by any inducements, and instead the goal of presenting unbiased inputs to the masses has always been their stimulus. Similarly, their fearlessness is an ideal for many, where they are prepared to jeopardize not only their but also the safety of their nears and dears. 

Overall, controversies apart, a few exceptions are incapable of tarnishing the image of this noble occupation, where those engaged in reporting face several perils and hazards to fulfill their professional obligations.

 

Giving lectures in auditoriums to large numbers of students is an old way of teaching. With the technology available today there is no justification for it, and everything should be done online. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your own opinion.

Giving lectures in auditoriums to large numbers of students is an old way of teaching. With the technology available today there is no justification for it, and everything should be done online. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your own opinion.

 

In this era of technology, all spheres of life have changed dramatically. With the emergence of it, the traditional mode of teaching has taken a back seat while online classes have become a buzzword in recent years, and I agree with this idea and believe that the merits of online teaching outstrip the ancient way of teaching; thus, the latter should be shelved.

 

The idea of imparting knowledge by making optimal use of technology would benefit the institutions intensely. The cost of building infrastructure, hiring staff for its maintenance and many more will save a phenomenal amount of money which can be utilised for further advancements and facilities. From this perspective, online education would be of great advantage and have a better impact.

 

Similarly, this will be favourable for students as well. The online mode can help them in saving the most precious commodity: the time, which is usually wasted in commuting. The time saved can be used more productively by investing it in studying. Moreover, this will also allow saving money otherwise expended on travelling to and from educational institutions; and buying books, and uniform, and so on. Concurrently, this has also aided educational establishments to widen their outreach among the learners.   

 

On top of that with its vast reach, online methods of teaching have helped drive in another major benefit. Students can have access to education even from remote areas, they only require an internet connection to study. Because of this flexibility and convenience, online lectures are becoming very popular among people.

 

To reiterate, in recent years, a considerable rise in popularity of online teaching has overwhelmed society. Due to its efficacy, convenience and cost-effectiveness, as well, the traditional mode of classroom teaching can be substituted.

In this era of technology, all spheres of life have changed dramatically. With the emergence of it, the traditional mode of teaching has taken a back seat while online classes have become a buzzword in recent years and I disagree with this idea and believe that the merits of an ancient way of teaching outstrip online mode of teaching.

 

The traditional way of teaching aids in maximizing productivity of the students. In classrooms, learners get a more serious and formal environment which helps them to concentrate better on their studies. Moreover, this instils a sense of discipline since they are always under observation of their tutors, due to which they remain focussed all the time. With this perspective, the conventional method affords greater advantages and has a better impact.

 

In addition to the above, face to face conversation leads to better comprehension. Classroom teaching allows students to interact with lecturers in person when there is clarification required and it is extremely convenient to understand when people are physically present at one place. Such methods help establish a bond between teachers and students, alleviating the hesitation in the students. Therefore, the traditional mode of teaching is irreplaceable. 

 

To reiterate, recent years have seen a considerable rise in online teaching since technology has practically taken over lives. However, the traditional mode of imparting knowledge cannot be substituted due to its efficacy and productivity as well. Hence, I fail to concur with the statement.

The international community should reduce or eliminate the debts of the world’s poorest countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The international community should reduce or eliminate the debts of the world’s poorest countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree?


Elite countries should step forward and help developing countries by easing up their financial obligations. This proposal is beneficial and humane can help the world prosper faster. I agree with this idea and believe that such measures should be adopted to alleviate the misfortunes of poverty-stricken societies.

 

By taking monetary aid from the communities, poor countries, which are trapped in a vicious circle, will be able to stand on their feet once again. These nations can utilize this amount to ameliorate the life of their citizens by rendering efficient and advanced facilities. Moreover, with these funds, these countries will be able to improve the infrastructure and create numerous opportunities in almost every realm. With this perspective, reducing the financial liability will aid in the progress of the underdeveloped countries.

 

On top of that, this may also help in mitigating the global crisis caused by the exodus of people, of deprived societies, seeking shelter in rich countries as refugees to escape poverty in their homelands. Such movements impose an immense -pressure on the local economies of the elite nations, but the governments  seem  helpless due to absence of opportunities in economically weaker nations, who in turn  are cowed down by huge repayment burdens. If the loans extended were pardoned, the poor nations would be able to create better opportunities for their natives,  preventing the latter from seeking refuge in other parts of the world.   

 

To reiterate, I completely concur with this proposal since pardoning loans seems to be the only way in the current scenario, which can aid in upheaval of those living in deprivation in various parts of the world. This will have a long lasting impact on the global society. 


In order to mitigate the troubles and financial liabilities of indigent countries around the world, the international organisations should take effective and immediate initiatives for improving the standard of living of the population.

Some people feel that children are overprotected nowadays. They say this leads to negative consequences. What is your opinion?

 Some people feel that children are overprotected nowadays. They say this leads to negative consequences.
What is your opinion?

Some people feel that children are overprotected nowadays


Why overindulging upbringing is laden with unfavorable consequences 

  • The young ones develop serious attitude problems - they feel that they are entitled to priority

  • They grow up as adults who find it hard to foster  relationships with others 

  • They are unable to regulate their emotions 

  • They become timid, incapable of taking their decisions independently - always look at others for acknowledgement

  • They lack the ability to for their independent perspective 

  • They are incapable to handling hardships - they suffer from mental trauma   


Why not? 

  • People are able to keep their wards away from pervert behavior, in times, when the surroundings are replete of violence, crimes, and distorted behavior  










If parenting is arduous, cosseting, a common phenomena today, is even more onerous. However, the latter as many commentators profess, is laden with numerous detriments, which can prove to be an impediment for young ones in their later life.


Overprotective upbringing of offspring can pose several  challenges in the growing up process of juveniles, the most prominent being, as several studies have elucidated, they are unable to foster conducive attitude to interact with the others around them, they are brought up with a feeling that they are at the center of the universe and deserve all the attention of the world. This often has a potential to turn them self-centered and apathetic, which can erect hurdles in their way of progress as adults.


Moreover, by virtue of not being able to communicate with their peers and others freely, they often end up being resigned, unable to share their concerns and worries with anyone else, except their mothers and fathers, which can cause a multitude of issues, in case they have to move away from their homes at a later stage.  


Similarly, another major concern that stems from such a practice is that most young individuals growing up under the close vigil and interference from their parents turn into timid adults who lack confidence to make  decisions on their own. They are seemingly less self assured when they are faced with situations where they must take a step, that may be concerned with any walk of life, since they inculcate a propensity of being acknowledged by their parents at every step. 


Overall, it is thus clear that the young ones who are cosseted in their formative years rarely grow up as rational adults, incapable of exhibiting empathy, forming relations and also deciding independently.


Globalization has many positives but its negative effects should also not be ignored. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Globalization has many positives but its negative effects should also not be ignored. To what extent do you agree or disagree?


Globalization has caused an upheaval in almost all walks of life. However, some people believe that a substantial amount of adverse outcomes has also been associated with its advent. I disagree with this notion and believe that the merits of globalisation surpass/outstrip the drawbacks of the same.

 

With the emergence of globalisation, markets in the global economy have integrated. This new arrangement has given rise to social media, as a result, people can communicate with others, regardless of political boundaries or geographies, helping create harmonious relationships between people who now happily identify themselves as global citizens rather than being those limited to their nationalities or ethnicities. This has also rendered businessmen a platform to reach prospective customers anywhere, aiding in flourishing their businesses, thereby, the economies. From this perspective, globalisation has fetched great advantages.

 

Moreover, the advent of MNCs and global brands has created an upsurge in the bundle of opportunities. The inflow of investment has led to creation of more employment in all the countries which eventually has boosted economies. This has subsequently helped in alleviating poverty from the developing nations and driving in prosperity. Thus,  mitigating economic disparities between the countries.

 

In addition to the above, globalisation has assisted the consumerist society to satisfy their growing requirements. Due to the cross-border trade, a plethora of products and services are easily accessible, blessing the population with a rich profusion of luxuries and comforts at similar prices and of identical quality. Most businesses launch their products across the globe at the same time,  allowing consumers to enjoy the produce without worrying about accessibility.  

 

To reiterate, globalization has united the national economies leading to mutual benefits. Thus, it can be safely said that the negative aspects of globalization do not eclipse the advantages.

Individuals 

 Obligatory for the locals, who are directly impacted by the 

    surroundings. 

- Evil will be nipped in its bud since individuals are the cause of this

Government 

- Government should don the mantle

   - They collect taxes 

   - They have the expertise and resources to dispose off the garbage effectively 


Cleanliness is an important virtue, and it is not limited to own premises, but extends to the surroundings too. However, when it comes it maintaining clean streets, a war of words tends to ensue, as to who should take the onus of this, local dwellers themselves, or  the authorities.  

There is a general perception that this task should be obligatory for the locals, who are directly impacted by the surroundings. Unclean neighborhood with littered streets and alleys support unhygienic conditions and often breed various infection carrying insects and pests such as mosquitoes and flies, which will eventually enter the homes  and inflict the inhabitants of the locality with various diseases, affecting their physical and mental wellbeing unfavorably.

Furthermore, if citizens take up this initiative, the evil will be nipped in its bud: insanitary conditions of the areas surrounding homes is a  problem in making that finds its source in the lifestyles and habits of  people themselves. It has been observed that it is them who go around littering the streets carelessly, without considering the aftermath of such actions. Thus, inhabitants should take this task up as a part of their social obligation.

However, many opine that the government should don the mantle of affording sanitary conditions in localities. Authorities gross huge amounts of revenues from the tax payers on this account, and fund municipal bodies – that are finally entrusted with the job of keeping the areas clean. Additionally, government agencies also have the tools and expertise to dispose of the refuse effectively.  

Overall, I cannot imagine the job of sustaining clean surroundings being the burden of either the government, or people alone. This onus must be jointly shared by both the authorities and dwellers of the communities though the latter should play a proactive role.

Some people say that parents should encourage their children to take part in organised group activities in their free time. Others say that it is important for children to learn how to occupy themselves on their own. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

 

Some people say that parents should encourage their children to take part in organised group activities in their free time. Others say that it is important for children to learn how to occupy themselves on their own. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

 

It is often debated that whether parents should motivate their wards to participate in pre-defined group activities in their pastime, while the other lobby suggests that youngsters to learn to indulge themselves on their own.  

 

To start with, it is undoubted that by indulging in group activities children will be able to foster confidence in coordinating with others in social circles. While participating in team work they deal with certain pressure that inspires them to play their part and also assist others in improving the performance. They are also able to learn about coordinating with others while planning new strategies in order to pursue group goals successfully, which can be of a great utility in the future life. Furthermore, it has been said that pre-planned group activities are much safer because they are monitored by professionals, which prevents youngsters from committing errors, and also tutor them about how to  surmount challenges. 

 

However, the other set of people suggest that young individuals should be allowed to decide when, where and which endeavor to indulge during their leisure time. Such liberty will allow the young minds to develop an appreciation of the importance of taking their own decisions, which will gradually interpret into their rational decision making abilities later in life as  adults, where they have to decide on numerous matters without having the privilege of seeking counsel of others. Moreover, this would also allow growing minds to inculcate the traits of  being independent, where they do not have to wait for instructions, and also  being responsible for their own actions.  

 

In conclusion, it would be appropriate to say that parents should persuade their offspring to engage in extracurricular undertakings that mandate teamwork so that young individuals can develop essential life skills.

Some people believe that individuals who earn a lot of money are the most successful. Others say that the individuals who contribute to the society (such as scientists or teachers) are the most successful. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Some people believe that individuals who earn a lot of money are the most successful

Who is more successful 

Is it those who are affluent? 

·         These people can easily afford all possible comforts of life: lavish houses, swanky cars, and every possible  luxury like even expensive holidays and 

·         They can plan their and their children’s future: investment into education, savings and also pension plans 

·         They can even contribute to revenues by taxes and  philanthropy by donations

·         They can fulfill all their ambitions 

Is it those who contribute to society 

·         Through their contributions, they bring around a radical changes in the way of life of people 

·         Their work and their feats earn them long lasting respect and affection of people

The great topical public discourse of contemporary times revolves around a tricky controversy  about whether affluence earns success, or is it the ability to influence society with positive work a true parameter of triumph. Although both the partisan factions have  their justified views, I believe both money and contribution are true indicators of achievements.  

There is a general perception around that prosperity is one aspect that should be taken as a true gauge to measure how much success one has garnered. This opinion is aligned with materialistic view that professes  those who amass humongous wealth can easily afford not only basic amenities such food shelter, clothing and healthcare to their families but also make them available every imaginable and enviable comfort: big and plush mansions, swanky cars, modern gadgets, making life comfortable and enjoyable.

 Furthermore, ones having enough money at their disposal can also plan their  and  the future  of their wards better. Investments into education of their wards, savings for emergencies, bigger houses, or for twilight years are not difficult to imagine provided one has enough to save after fulfilling their primary requirements.

Nevertheless, as the other school of thought vouches for definition of success that entails contributions made to society for public good. Inventors, teachers, engineers and many others who enrich the lives of people with their discoveries and services are truly worthy of being considered as accomplished, for they devote themselves relentlessly and make efforts to improve the life of others, in the process, they are bestowed upon with respect and  affection that is enduring.    

Overall, despite disparate views, it can be safely asserted that both money and contribution to society are accomplishments in their own virtue.  Money is critical to survival, but assisting society is also pivotal to happy life nonetheless.

Why to teach Value of Money to Young ones

- Tender minds are easily influenced by the possessions of their elite peers. - Over pampering by the parents, which is turning them into demanding individuals - Train them about being rational

How to do it

- Mothers and fathers must set precedents by making sacrifices


Intro one

Money, saving and spending, is an integral part of life, but young ones are quite oblivious to this fact. This makes it a practical approach, as per many, to impact this critical life skill  to the little ones  by applying disparate strategies. 

Intro two

Child rearing is an arduous task, and making young ones aware of critical matters, like appreciating the relevance of money, to help them grow as rational adults, is a desirable task. Experts have discovered several methods to accomplish this important goal. 

Coaching youngsters about the relevance of money is a paramount task in the contemporary times when the young ones are more frequently interacting with their surroundings. Tender minds are easily influenced by the possessions of their elite peers; attractive advertisements of products; and over pampering by the parents, which is turning them into demanding individuals, presenting a serious challenge for mothers and fathers who have to struggle coping with unwarranted demands. Informing young ones about the importance of this resource will go a long way in teaching them about being rational. 

Nevertheless, enlightening young minds about the significance of money is although a little tricky, a surmountable challenge provided people at a little prudently. Many commentators suggest that mothers and fathers should set precedents for their wards by making sacrifices, delaying purchases of unnecessary things, and putting some money into savings. Such actions should be taken, and openly discussed in front of the young ones.

Similarly, another method that can bring radical changes in attitudes of youngsters and help them appreciate the relevance money has in comfort filled life, is by making them visit locations that are populated by those belonging to the deprived/underprivileged sections. This will surely have a long lasting impact on the young psyche and teach them why money is critical.

Hence, I strongly feel the current era has added new challenges to the task of parenting, and bringing youngsters face to face with money management is one of them, but this can be easily negotiated with a judicious approach.

In spite of the advances made in agriculture, many people around the world still go hungry. Why is this case? What can be done about this problem?

In spite of the advances made in agriculture, many people around the world still go hungry. Why is this case? What can be done about this problem? 


It is true that a large number of people throughout the world suffer from hunger even though the agricultural sector has seen many technological developments. There are several reasons for this and the lack of resources and adverse weather conditions are the most important among them. However, there are some measures that can be implemented to tackle this problem.

One of the significant reasons for why people do not have enough food supplies is unevenly distributed resources. In other words, it is known that most people who suffer from hunger are from underdeveloped countries where they have no financial support to conduct research in farming. Moreover, climate change and geographical differences aggravate this problem. For instance, adequate rain, sunshine and nourished soil are the main requirements for growing crops but they barely exist in some countries. On the other hand, even though some regions have a rich harvest of crops, it is likely to be destroyed by flooding or other natural disasters which might be caused by climate change.

There are many solutions that can be implemented to overcome this trend. To begin with, developed countries can aid poor countries by sharing their technology and financial resources so that those countries can conduct research to find solutions to tackle the famine. Consequently, hybrid seeds and plants can be synthesized which could withstand  undesirable conditions even if the places where they are not grown are not blessed with suitable climate. It is essential to tackle climate change with immediate effect. Otherwise, it will impact the whole world in a negative way.

In conclusion, it is true that a significant number of people in the world suffer from famine even though many farming advancements are currently in use. This can be overcome by providing the knowledge and financial aid to nations that need it the most.


There are some people who think that the only one best way to solve environmental problems is by increasing cost of fuels for cars and other moving vehicles. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

 There are some people who think that the only one best way to solve environmental problems is by increasing cost of fuels for cars and other moving vehicles. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Environmental pollution has been a major concern in the contemporary times and some environmentalists feel that governments should raise the price of fuel to resolve this issue. In my opinion, it may help to some extent; however this is not the only solution.

To begin with, affecting a hike in the prices of petrol and diesel may only help reduce the environmental pollution to some degree. In other words, excessive use of cars releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which is detrimental to the environment. If the price of fossil fuel based propellants is raised, individuals may  start to use their cars less often, and also limit their journeys  through other modes, and this in turn can help decelerate the rate of air pollution. However, this arrangement may not ago a long way  in curbing environmental problems when there are a plethora of other sources, like industry and farming, are contributing greatly to global menace of ecological destruction.  

To counter this menace more effectively, governments can take other judicious measures. A better solution is to invest in renewable energy sources such as wind, solar power and water tides rather than non – renewable resources like fossil fuels. By promoting modes of commuting that rely on electricity: trains and electric cars, governments can ensure curtailing the ecological destruction to a great extent. A recent survey has revealed that use of solar power and electricity in various transportation mediums has assisted in bringing down pollution at large in many regions across the world. 

Thus, it can be clearly implied that the decision incrementing the prices of fuels will only fetch a short term benefit, but not mitigate ecological devastation. For that, there is a need to adopt more prudent steps and methods.

Some people think it’s better to choose friends who always have the same opinions as them. Others believe that it’s good to have friends who sometimes disagree with them. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some people think it’s better to choose friends who always have the same opinions as them. Others believe that it’s good to have friends who sometimes disagree with them. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Choosing a friend is an onerous task. Many voice their belief that  one should select an acquaintance who has similar beliefs and preferences; however, others say that it is good to have someone who could voice disagreement occasionally. This essay will discuss both the sides and share a justified opinion.

To start with, friendship among people with similar mindsets bloom often. In other words, people are able to understand each other in every sphere of life, which results in absence of disputes and people engage in a healthy relationship that goes a long way. For example, a recent survey conducted by a group of social behaviorists shows that people who have friends with the same principals have a hospitable and an enjoyable relationship and are most likely to stay in it forever.

Nevertheless,  a lobby holds contrasting views on this issue. They vouch for friends who have guts and grit to dissent. It is believed that having such individuals, instead of yes-men, often helps ensure choosing a viable path and preventing one from committing errors. This is to say that, if one is about to take a wrong decision, a friend with the courage to be critical can show a correct path, which could reduce many hurdles. Moreover, when friends have disparate perspectives, they do not only get to enjoy a variety of ideas but also obtain a chance to broaden the horizons. There are many things that one does not know, and lending ears to someone with contrasting views will help to increase knowledge.

In conclusion, considering the aforementioned views, in my opinion, friends with different opinions are always a blessing in disguise as they could show one the right path or assist in expanding the knowledge.

Full-time university students spend a lot of time studying, however they should perform other activities too. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Full-time university students spend a lot of time studying, however they should perform other activities too. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Full-time university students spend a lot of time studying


Why should they engage in something apart from studies 

·         Helps improve skills, talents and mental ability

·         Helps sustain a balanced and stress-free life

·         Helps in building social contacts.

 

 Why not? 

·         University courses cost several arms and several legs, thus it should be the primary goal of learners  

With the educational system and syllabus becoming sophisticated, many have started suggesting that learners engaged in regular courses, must also indulge in some extracurricular endeavors to bolster their physical and mental well being. Nevertheless, there are contrasting views too in this regard.

 

The growing demands of the modern curriculum at the varsities necessitates extra efforts from the learners which sometimes makes them dedicate long hours to their studies. This leaves them with little spare time to relax and rejuvenate, which is extremely critical for not only their health but also for their morale. Thus, they should, whenever possible, break this mundane and undertake some extra or co curricular activities to earn a much needed respite from grueling academic routines. 

 

Moreover, doing this can go a long way in restoring their enthusiasm towards the studies and also, heightening their concentration, making their university pursuits more enriching, as well as enjoyable. Similarly,  such interludes  also help university goers socialize with their peers and the outer world, which many times aid in getting a grasp of a crucial life skill: interacting with the world that is much maturer than they had encountered during their schooling, assisting in formation of broader world view. 

Nonetheless, the critics to this view deride it vehemently. This lobby asserts that the sole objective of the learners should be to attain their scholastic goals for which many are paying through their nose. Indulging in anything, unrelated to studies, might cause a distraction and take students away from their objectives, affecting their outcomes and impeding their professional progress later. 

In hindsight, I feel even though the skepticism over this suggestion is not unfounded, it is extremely important for the learners to undertake certain extracurricular activities:  this would indirectly also facilitate better academic performance.

Financial education should be a mandatory component of the school program. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

 

Financial education should be a mandatory component of the school program. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

There is a lobby that believes the incorporation of financial education in the school curriculum would be of great afford for the students. This essay will justify the rationale behind this proposal and discuss that of others.

Many have hailed the idea of integrating financial education as a part of the school program. This can be attributed to numerous reasons. It would help the students to comprehend the significance of money by learning procedures to spend their funds wisely/judiciously in life later on. As this knowledge today cannot be disseminated by parents due to their overwhelming indulgence in the professional realms, the onus thus falls on the formal tuition who must don the mantle of letting the youngsters grow as well-informed adults.  

Furthermore, schools with their well-planned courseware, trained and experienced faculty and conducive environment can ensure appropriate imparting of knowhow managing money. The knowledge delivered at schools is often not questioned but quietly embraced. but, in the process, the pupils will learn the strategies for the proper management of their earnings during their professional tenure by virtue of which they could enjoy a rich profusion of benefits in their twilight years, when people are vulnerable to several health issues since they would possess sufficient funds at their disposal to sustain their requirements.

However, some outrightly reject this proposal. As per their experience, despite optimism being expressed by supporters, little ones are likely to become money-minded and materialic too soon. This learning could affect their behavior too and make them value everything in financial terms. Moreover, the addition of such subjects would escalate their academic burden by posing immense pressure on the growing minds since they are already surrounded by a plethora of other more crucial disciplines.

To reiterate, I strongly believe that addition of financial knowhow in the education would enable the pupils to learn money management which will turn them responsible when they grow into adults.

Some people prefer to stay in the same job for the same company, but others prefer to change jobs frequently. Discuss.

Some people prefer to stay in the same job for the same company, but others prefer to change jobs frequently. Discuss. 

There is an intriguing debate brewing up as there is a lobby that believes a major chunk of working professionals has an inclination towards  incessant job-hopping in the hope of getting several benefits while the other feel that individuals prefer a continuation of their work at the same organization for years.

A great deal of monetary and non-monetary advantages are associated with job hopping. This practice proffers people a wide array of alternatives which aids them in prospering their career as they get an opportunity to acquire a higher rank in the hierarchy of the destination company along with a chance to experience diverse working environments that later help in broadening professional clout.

Similarly, this practice allows one to secure tempting pay packages including, several perks, bonuses and exponential increments in the salaries, which help them to accomplish their financial obligations, serve their families better, and render a chance to ameliorate their lifestyles, raising their  living standards. 

In the face of it, some are reluctant to leave the organizations they work for, by virtue of disparate significant factors that provide a rationale behind this phenomenon. These people get used to the working environment owing to serving the establishment for years and do not want to forego the bonds and contacts with their colleagues. Similarly, after joining a new organization,  they are required to prove their worth all over again, as well as they need to compete against already established employees of the company.

To reiterate, switching employment renders great opportunities with lucrative remuneration, as well as better ranks in the corporations. However, some outrightly reject the notion of job-hopping because of their already developed value and connections, which otherwise would be an arduous task to embark upon from the scratch in a new enterprise.

Some people believe that it is better to build new museums and town halls instead of renovating the old ones. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your opinion and relevant examples from your own experience.

 

There is an intriguing debate brewing up since there is a lobby that believes construction of new tourist attractions would be of great afford rather than revamping the existing heritage sites. This essay will justify the rationale behind this notion and explore whether this is favourable or unfavourable development.

 

A slew of people takes inspiration and ideas from these historical structures about their architecture, diverse art-forms, calligraphy styles, thereby stimulating creativity and imagination among masses. If these places get replaced by modern forms, people will end up losing the significant knowhow about conventional craftsmanship. Furthermore, these sites serve as an heirloom to the future generations by rendering individuals opportunities to explore their history and getting to know numerous cultural and traditional values which are associated with them.

 

On top of that, these places happen to be major tourist attractions which lure millions of alien visitors to come and experience nostalgia associated with a city and society, which also helps generate huge revenues. If these structures are razed to the ground to give way to modern ones, the past and the value of the place will be lost forever.    

 

However, since heritage buildings are stretched over a large area, they require a great deal of maintenance and abundance of energy  to keep them illuminated owing to which the idea of refurbishing has earned support from various quarters. It is felt, it would be better to replace these structures with more energy-efficient ones, which would help in saving public funds, and the land freed from such occupation could be allocated to other indispensable purposes.

 

To reiterate, despite the garnered support for building new structures, the notion of revamping these historical sites prevail and outshine its drawbacks. Hence, I do not concur with the statement.
