Crimes
Prisoners good citizens
Best people to talk to teenagers
Dangerous of committing a crime
Ex prisoners normal productive members of
allowing such people to speak to teenagers about their experiences
Best way to discourage young people from breaking the law
Teenagers accept advice from experienced people
Reformat offenders tell young people how they became involved in crime
Dangerous of a criminal lifestyle
What life in prison is really like
Dispel any ideas that teenagers may have about criminals
Extremely keen to hear the stories of an ex offender
Shocking nature of these stories have a powerful impact
Alternatives
Using reformed criminals to educate teenagers less effective
One option police officers visit schools talk to young people
Useful in terms of informing things
Lawbreakers
But reluctant to take advice from figures of authority
Second option school teachers speak to their students about crime
But students would see teachers as credible sources
Finally educational films informative

Old and new
Older generations
Have traditional ideas
Ideas are not helpful
Preparing younger generations
Modern Life
Should live think and behave
Traditional values incompatible
Some traditional ideas are outdated
Others are still useful should not be forgotten
Ideas about life becoming less relevant
Advised to learn a profession
Find the secure job for life
Today's workers
More variety and diversity from their careers
Rules around relationships
Being eroded as young adults make their own choices
Greatest disparity between generations
Can be seen in their attitudes
Gender roles-Traditional roles
Breadwinners and housewives
No longer accepted necessary or appropriate by most
Traditional views and values

Wild animals
Have no place in the 21st century
Protecting them waste of resources
Pointless to spend money
Protection of wild animals
No need for them
Earth isn't only for the benefits of human
Not have the right to love or encourage the extinction of any species
No compelling reason
Let animals die out
Don't need to exploit
Destroy every last square meter of land
Plenty of room for us to exist side by side with wild animals
Should be our aim
Disagree protecting animals is a waste of resources
Protection of natural habitats
Ensures the survival of wild animals
These habitats crucial human survival
Rainforest produce oxygen absorb carbon dioxide and stabilize the earth's climate
Destroyed these areas
Costs of managing the resulting changes
Far outweigh the cost conservation
Protecting wild animals maintain natural balance
Have no right to decide whether
Wild animals should exist or not
Should do everything to protect
Child education
Children private schools
Not be required to pay taxes
Support the state education system
Attent private schools
Contribute to state schools through taxes
Wrong to reduce taxes for families who pay for private education
Difficult to calculate the correct amount of tax reduction
Staff would be required to manage this complex process
All pay public services
People are fortunate enough
Expect a tax reduction for this
Wealthy families were given a tax discounts
Have a situation poorer people pay higher taxes
Happy to pay our share of the money
Supports public schools
Beneficial all members have a quality education system
Equal opportunities all young people
Will educated workforce
More productive prosperous nation
Children in private schools seize the advantages of this
Company owners need well-qualified and competent staff
Well founded education system provide such employees
Financial concessions made for people choose private education
Celebrities
Famous for glamour and Wealth
Achievements
Bad example to young people
Known for their glamorous lifestyle
Than for the work they do
Set a bad example for children
Other famous people act as positive for role models
Do achieve fame
Inherited money from parents
Marriott a famous or wealthy person
Appeared in gossip magazines
Reality TV programme
Paris Hilton her behavior promotes the idea that appearance glamor and media profile are more important
Than hard work and good character
The message means success can be achieved easily
School work is not necessary
Many celebrities accomplishments excellent role models
Famous idols have worked hard
Develop real skills and abilities
Demonstrate great effort
Determination and ambition
Required for someone to be successful
Self-made celebrity Inspire children develop their talents through application and perseverance
Influence of celebrities positive as well as negative
Job and money
Choosing a job
Salary is the most important consideration
Choose their jobs based on the size of the salary
Disagree idea
Money is the key consideration
Deciding on a carrier
Other factors equally important
Money necessary meet their basic needs
Pay for housing food bills healthcare and education
Consider priority earn a salary
Have a responsible quality of life
Choose their jobs
Based on enjoyment or other non-financial factors
Might find it difficult to support themselves
Not provide them with enough money
Live comfortably raise a family
Other considerations important earn a job
Personal relationships atmosphere in a workplace important when choosing a job
Having a good manager
Friendly colleagues
Huge difference to workers levels of happiness
General quality of life
Feelings of job satisfaction
Professional achievements
Choose a carrier helps others contribute positive to society
Salaries affect people's choice
Not money out weights all other motivators

Hobbies
Hobbies to be difficult to be enjoyable
Some hobbies relatively easy
Others more of a challenge
Both types of hobby a fun
Disagree hobbies need to be difficult to be enjoyable
Enjoy easy hobbies
Activity is easy swimming
Requires little equipment inexpensive
Lookout swimming pool
Felt like a demanding or challenging experience
Take interesting pictures without knowing too much
Technicalities of operating a camera
Being straightforward satisfying activity
Difficult hobbies more exciting
Challenging feel like greater sense of satisfaction
Manage to do successfully
Film editing hobby requires a high level of knowledge and expertise
To become competent at this activity too much years
Hobbies give pleasure reach a higher level of performances
Results are better feeling of achievement is greater
Simple hobbies fun relaxing
Difficult hobbies equally pleasurable for different reasons
Hobbies trends or not
Popular hobbies interests
reflection of trends
Indication spare time
Leisure activities fashionable short time, disappear new Trend comes along
Other seem perennially popular
Assertion is that hobbies reflect changing patients true interests
Hobbies passing trends
Attracted activity popular among
Have a new interest is every month
Latest craze
Obsessed with Rubik's cube fidget spinners squidgies and slime
Similar way different fitness trends jogging to yoga circuit training
Majority of participants
Enjoy those activities in the long term
Spent their free time doing popular activities far away from trendy game chess
Not following a new fashion wasting their time don't truly like
Passionate about a game existed for hundreds of years
Inherently fascinating and absorbing
 Save the same about reading swimming
Attracted to latest fashionable hobby
Others choose pastimes for more genius reasons
Historical sites
Foreign visitors pay more local visitors cultural and historical attractions
Tourist is from overseas be charged more than local residents
To visit important sites and monuments
Disagree idea
Argument in favor of higher prices for foreign tourists
Cultural or historical attractions depend on state subsides
Resident population pays money to these sites through the tax system
Shortsighted view
Foreign tourists contribute to economy of the host country
With range of goods services including food souvenirs accommodation and travel
Inhabitants should be happy to subside important tourist sites
Encourage people rest of the world to visit
Travelers have to pay more to visit historical and cultural attractions
They would not to go to that country
The tourism industry and many related jobs rely on visitors
Two sites Windsor castle and st Paul's cathedral charge the same price regardless of nationality
Helps to promote the nation's cultural heritage
Overseas tourists due to high prices be a risk of insufficient funding
Maintenance of these important buildings
Every effort made to attract tourists from overseas
Counterproductive to make them pay
More than local residents
Unpaid work
All teenagers required to do unpaid work free time help the local community individual teenager society as a
whole
Young people work on a volunteer basis
Beneficial for both the individual and society as a whole
Should not force all teenagers to do unpaid work
Young people under enough pressure studies without being given the added responsibility of working
School demanding as a full-time job
Teachers to do homework and exam revision attending lessons
Free time encourage to enjoy it with their friends
Spend time doing sports and other leisure activities
Many years of work ahead of them
Society gained from obliging young people unpaid work
Goes against the values of a free and fair society to force group of people
Against their will
Lead to resentlement amongst young people
Feel that they were being used
Raise their children
nobody is forced to volunteer the best system
Teenagers choose work for free and help others
Shouldn't make this compulsory

Communities
Cannot help everyone needs help
Concerted with our own communities and countries
Should not help people in other countries
Problems in our own society
Should try to help as many people
Important to help our neighbors and fellow citizens
People impoverished or disadvantages in some way
Find homeless people
Wealthiest of cities
Opportunities to volunteer time or give money to support these people
Help in a variety of ways from donating clothing to serving free food
Problems are on our doorstep
Obvious ways to help
Prioritize local charity
Obligation to help beyond our national borders
Problems people face serious than our own communities
Easier to help other countries people
Children are dying from curable diseases
Governments individuals in richer countries save lives simply by paying for vaccines that already exist
 Small donation to an international charity
Much greater impact than helping in our
National boundaries should not stop us from helping
Male versus female in Unis
University accept equal numbers of male and female in every subject
Have the same educational opportunities
Do not agree accepting equal proportions of each gender in every subject
Degree courses simply unrealistic
Depend on the applications that the institution receives
Fill courses with equal numbers of males and females
Many courses popular with one gender than the other
Not be practical to aim for equal proportion
Nursing courses attract more female applicants
Be difficult to fill these courses with males
If 50% of the places needed to go to males
Practical concerns
Be unfair to base admission to university courses on gender
Best candidates for each course according to their qualifications
Both men and women have the same opportunities
Applicants will be successful if they work hard
Female student best candidate for a place on course it's wrong to reject her
Student with lower grades or fever qualifications
Selection students based on merit
Both impractical and unfair to change to a selection procedure based on gender
Cultures and advances
Inevitable
Traditional cultures be lost as technology develops
Technology and traditional cultures are incompatible
Technological developments lead to loss of traditional cultures
Is this assertion maybe true in some societies
Be unaffected by technology and modern world
Advances in technology driving industrialization in developed countries
Contributed to The disappearance of traditional ways of life
Pre-industrial Britain
Strong sense of identity
Shared customs and beliefs
Developments in transport communications and manufacturing led to dispersal of families and village
communities
Inhabited by commuters
Closest neighbor
Traditional culture still thrive
Completely untouched by technological developments of the developed world
Tribal communities continue to hunt and gather food from the forest
Traditional skills are passed on to children from parents
Traditional cultures such as farming communities embracing communications technologies
Phone give farmers access to information
Weather predictions to market prices
Helps to prosper sports their culture
Traditional ways of life have been lost
Result of advances in technology
Traditional communities have survived and even flourished
Advertising
High sales of popular consumer goods
Power of advertising
Real needs of the society
Surrounded by advertising by companies
Advertising has an impact on sales
Most of the goods need to buy
Advertisements tempt people to buy products
Not otherwise want
Good example mobile phones
People can be seen queuing to buy the latest models
Perfectly good phone no need to replace
Influence of marketing
Leads us to make these kinds of decisions
Latest fashions or own the newest high status device
Support this idea
Do not buy products advertising alone
Good reasons to make these choice
Makes a purchase
New versions of products improved features
New car have improved safety features more economical to run pollute less
New phone communicate more quickly or effectively
enhancing their quality of life
Advertising influences buying behavior
Do not agree people make decisions that go against their real needs
History and literature
Important to teach children
Literature and history of their own country
Then other countries
Teaching of national versus global literature and history in schools
Children should study first and foremost their own countries
School should focus on teaching national literature and history
Enjoy learning about where they live
Studying the ideas culture and history of their own countries
Develop a sense of identity
Approach is appelling to parents
Educational continuity across the generations
Emphasis on national literature and history
Gives educators and narrower teaching scope
Making curriculum design
Study of global events and foreign novels could cause unnecessary difficulty and confusion
Point in presenting
Has not yet studied as a history of his own country in detail
Comprehend historical events that took place
Exposure to International literature
Required the teaching of foreign language or the use of translations
Primary secondary school age not ready for such complications
Undesirable covers aspects of foreign history literature
Ground their peoples in the local culture instead
Parental care
Caring for children important job
Required to take a course that prepares them
Parents shoulder a huge responsibility
raising children is by no means an easy task
Force all mothers to attend parenting courses
Future parents take care parents hood preparation course completely impractical
Prospective parents have jobs busy schedules not feeling or not able to attend a regular parenting classes
Raises the question of whether missed the classes ,refuse to attend
Wrong to punish parents to miss the classes
Impossible to enforce the idea of compulsory training for parents
Good parenting entails
Difficult to create a parenting course to suit everyone
Impractical unnecessary-training courses for parents
Raising children without any formal help
Or official interference for thousands of years
Parenting skills learned from family members friends neighbors and the surrounding culture
Importantly to be good parent is by human instinct or by trial and error
Getting to know their own children
Good parent will try different strategies
Face with a badly behaved child
Gradually develop and understanding of what works to correct the behavior
Requires no the intervention of a thought course
Compulsory parenting lessons seem good idea
Such a scheme would be unworkable and largely pointless
Salaries
Small number of people
Earn extremely High salaries
Shouldn't allow salaries above a certain level
Introduce the maximum wage
Some ways reasonable to allow people to earn as much as companies are willing to pay
Employee remuneration
Capped at a certain level
Considered beneficial to other people to be paid extremely high salaries
Excellent pay packages
Attract the most talented people in their fields
Technology companies employees the best programmers huge services that they are willing to pay
Will paid employees motivated to work hard drive their business successfully
Results in a thriving economy
Increase tax revenues
Paying high salaries benefits everyone
Maximum wage
Introducing a limit on earning
Pay gap between bosses and employees can be reduced
Difference between normal and top salaries is huge
Demotivate workers
Feel the situation is unfair
With lower executive salaries
Feasible to introduce higher minimum wages
Consequence of greater equality
Poverty and crime rates fall
General population- experience and improved standard of living
Would be better on balance
Governments set a limit on the wages of the highest earnings in society
Economic goals versus other goals
Economic progress important goal
Other types of progress equally important
How governments should measure their countries progress
Progress is essential
Three key reasons
Economic growth fundamental goal
Healthy economy job creation
High level of employment better salaries
Economic progress ensures money is available for governments
Spent on infrastructure and public services
Higher revenues can invest in the country's transport network
Education system and its hospitals
Strong economy help countries standing on the global stage
Political influence and trading power
Forms of progress significant
Consider social justice human rights equality and democracy itself
The treatment of minority groups
As a reflection of the moral standards and level of development
Another key consideration judging the progress
Country protects the natural environment
Environmental sustainability
Success of a nation can be measured by looking at the house while being and happiness of its residence
Economy key marker of a country success
Social environmental and health criteria are equally significant
Minority languages
Several languages danger of extinction
Spoken by very small number of people
Governments spent public money on saving these languages
Would be a waste of money
Minority languages may disappear
Could save money by allowing this to happen
Languages should be protected and preserved
Saving minority languages seen as a waste of money
Only spoken by a small number of people
expensive education programs will be needed to make sure that more people learn it
The state pay for facilities teachers and marketing
Money might be better spent on other public services
Would be much cheaper and more efficient to have one language
Cut all kinds of costs related to communicating with each minority group
Governments try to preserve languages that are less widely spoken
Language much more than simply a means of communication
Has a vital connection with the cultural identity
If a language disappears whole way of life will disappear with it
Lose the rich cultural diversity
Make societies more interesting
Spending money to protect minority languages
Preserve traditions customers and behaviors that are part of countries history
May save money in the short term
Allow minority languages to disappear
 In the long term have an extremely negative impact on cultural heritage
University students
All universities students
Study whatever they like
Beloit to study subjects that will be useful
Science and technology
How much choice students should have these regard to what they can study at University
Students be forced into certain key subject areas
University courses like medicine engineering and information technology likely to be beneficial than certain art
degrees
Personal perspective
Courses provide more job opportunities carrier progression better salaries and improved quality of life
On the societal level
By forcing people to choose particular University subjects-ensure any knowledge/ skill gaps in the economy are
covered
Focus on technology in higher education lead to new inventions economic growth and greater future prosperity
Be free to choose their preferred areas of study
Society will benefit
Students are passionate about what they are learning
Which areas of knowledge will be most useful to society
Employers begin to value creative thinking skills about practical or technical skills
More students of art history and philosophy than of science or technology
Sensible for universities
Focus only on the most useful subjects
Current system in which ....-have the right to study whatever they like
Punishments to drivers
Strict punishments
Driving offenses key to reducing traffic accidents
Other measures would be more effective to improving road safety
Differing views with regard to the question of how roads safer
Both punishments a range of other measures used together to promote better driving habits
Strict punishments help to encourage people to drive more safely
Penalties deterrent people avoid repeating the same offense
Types of driving penalty, small fines, lies and suspension
Driver awareness courses
Even prison sentences show dangerous drivers- actions have negative consequences
Become more disciplined and alert
Follow the rules more carefully
Safe driving promoted in several different ways widely
Important to educate people properly start to drive-
done in schools even as part of an extended difficult driving test
More attention paid to safe roads,
Design signs used to warn people
Speed bumps and road bands added to calm traffic
Speed cameras help to deter people from driving too quickly
Reduce road accidents- investing in better public transport
Fewer people would need to travel by car
Punishments prevent bad driving
Other road safety measures should be introduced

People's relationships
More dependent on each other
People have become more independent
We are more or less dependent on others
Modern Life forces to be more independent
Life is more complex and difficult because the cost of living
Young adults tend to rely on their parents when buying a house
Property prices are higher than ever
Impossible to pay a deposit and mortgage
Want a better quality of life
Both parents full-time work
Depend on support from grandparents
Babysitters -child care
Families are becoming smaller
More dispersed, cannot count on relatives
Have more freedom to travel
Live far away from our hometowns
Many students choose to study abroad than local university
 Experience makes them more independent ,learn to live alone
Another factor is growing independence
Hours to work alone from any part of the world
Reasons to believe depend on each other
More independent than ever
Financial support to artists
Governments give financial support
Painters, musicians should be funded by alternative sources
Funding of creative artists
Artists believe money for art projects come from both governments and other sources
Art projects require help from the state
Many works of art in public spaces ,street,s squares in city centers
New statues ,sculptures in the area
Redeveloped recently
Artworks represent culture heritage and history
Serve to educate people about the city -act as landmarks or talking points for visitors and tourists
Governments,local councils pay creative artists to produce kind of art
Our cities less interesting and attractive
Government's important concerns is state budgets,education,healthcare,infrastructure security,other areas
Public services vital for a country function properly
Luxury arts do a job like any other professional
Earn their own money by selling their work
Good reasons -rely on alternative sources of financial support
My opinion government help is sometimes necessary
Animal testing
Animal experiments widely used for new medicines
Should be banned morally wrong to cause animals suffer
Others are in favor of them
Benefits to humanity medicines
Other products routinely test on animals
Common example of this practice-laboratory mice
Effectiveness of a new drug can be measured
Humans have no right to subject animals
Kind of trauma levels of all creatures should be respected
Benefits to humans do not justify the suffering caused
Alternative methods of research
Reliable alternatives to animal experimentation -available supporters
Use of animals,certain amount of suffering,
Part of mice,rats can be justified if human lives are saved
Animal testing,non-medical products
Use of animal -medical treatment necessary
New drugs,Medical procedures are concerned to be wrong
To ban testing on animals -for vital medical research until equally effective alternatives developed
Higher education versus work
Studying at the University
Best routes,successful career
It is better to get a job straight after school
Face the dilemma of weather to get the job
Education -better to go to college
Working straight after school can be attractive
Want to start earning money/become independent
Will be able to afford their own house or start a family/their career
Find work progress more quickly
Chance to gain real experience/learn practical skills
Choosing profession lead to promotions and successful carrier
Those who choose to study-
Academic qualificatIons are required in many professions
Impossible to become a doctor,teacher,lawyer without having the relevant degree
University graduates access more better job opportunities
Earn high salaries than those with fewer qualifications
Job market increasingly competitive-hundreds of applicants for one position in a company
Do not have qualifications from University or college not be able to compete
Students are more likely successful in their careers if they continue their studies beyond school level
Museums
Museums enjoyable places to entertain people purpose of museums is to educate the role and function of
museums both entertaining and educational main role to entertain tourist attractions aim is to exhibit a
collection of interesting objects average visitor bored if read or listen too match educational content put more
of an emphasis on enjoyment rather than learning museum designed to be visually spectacular have interactive
activities even games part of exhibitions museums focus on education aim of exhibition teach visitors
something they didn't previously know history behind the museum's exhibits to be explained it offer headsets
so that visitors can listen detailed commentary about exhibition play an important role in teaching people about
history culture science many other aspects of Life
a good museum offer interesting enjoyable and educational experience can have fun learn something at the
same time
Living alone
Choosing to leave alone has become far more normal for people to live alone particularly in large cities in the
developed world have both positive and negative consequences in equal measure rise in one person households
both personal and broader economic reasons individual level more independent self-reliant need to learn to
cook clean pay bills and manage his budget valuable life skills increase in the number of individuals positive
development economic prospect positive development economic perspective benefits is a construction industry
estate agents whole host of other companies rely on homeowners to buy products or services personal
economic arguments opposite angle positive feeling of increased independence live alone may experience
feelings of long list isolation and worry miss out emotional support daily conversation that family flatmates can
provide trans towards living alone is a negative one financial point of view arise in demand for housing property
prices and rents likely to push up benefits some businesses general population rising living cost us one person
household both beneficial and detrimental effects individuals on the economy
Living alone or in small families
Live alone small family units in large extended family groups cities are seeing a rise in smaller families one
person households extended family becoming a rarity negative development families become smaller traditional
family support network is disappearing negative impact on children nuclear family single parent household child
care expensive and stressful part of daily life without help of grandparents or aunts uncles busy parentis rely
on babysitters nannies after school clubs absence of adult family members television internet become the
primary influences on children's behavior decline of the extended family linked to a rise in psychological
behavioural problems amongst young people living alone damaging psychological effects off reduced human
interaction talk to in person cannot share problems discuss the highs and lows of daily life forgot the constant
stimulation hustle and bustle of a large family own device for extended periods of time lack of human content
necessarily A replaced by passive destructions such as television video game online chat rooms or internet
surfing type of existence boredom long list feelings of isolation even alienation factors increase the risk of
mental illness individuals thrive part of larger family groups worrying choosing to live alone such small family
units
Video games
regard to video games harmless fun useful educational tool video games having an adverse effect who played
them many people children enjoy playing computer games except that games can sometimes have a positive
effect on the user believe are more likely to have a harmful impact with the games both entertaining and
educational users gamers transported into virtual words exciting engaging than real life past times educational
perspective games encourage imagination creativity concentration logical thinking problem solving all of which
are useful skills gaming context computer simulation games improve user's motor skills help to prepare for real
world tasks such as flying a plane gaming can be highly addictive users are constantly given scores new targets
frequent rewards to keep them playing spent hours progress through the levels of a game get a higher score
addiction affects ranging from lack of sleep to problems at school sacrificed rise in obesity linked in part to the
sedentary lifestyle lack of exercise accompany gaming addiction potential dangerous more significant than the
possible benefits
Credit cards
Easy to apply for be given a credit card experience problems not be able to pay debts back easy to obtain a
credit card run up debts difficult to repay disadvantage credit cards consider owning a credit card access to
money the facility to pay it back like a loan useful for emergencies or something expensive like a holiday having
a credit card more secure than carrying money lose your wallet purse if you're mugged a quick phone call to the
bank card will be instantly refused credit cards spent money depth is built up leave people in real financial
difficulties cannot pay their debt back everyone suffers lose their homes the bank lose money whole economy
suffers enticing message of spent today pay tomorrow older generation tempted by the ease of using a credit
card resulting mounting debts cannot be paid back
Online courses
Universities offers their courses internet study online becoming a common feature education internet-based
learning less direct interaction not have the opportunity to engage face-to-face with their teachers have to rely
on a written forms of communication do not come into direct contact with each other have a negative impact on
peer support discussion and exchange of ideas students on traditional courses attend seminars even discuss
their subjects online learners are restricted to chatting through website forum areas may lack the motivation
element of competition face to face group work brings positive development learners to study in a flexible way
can work whenever wherever is convenient covered the material at their own pace the cost of a university
education greatly reduced revenues for institutions increase as more students can be taught online learning
access to anybody who wants to learn and study regardless of age location ability and background and rolled on
online MBA course in a different country internet-based education recognize the possible disadvantages positive
development overall
Life expectancy
Average life expectancy measures be taken reduced impact of aging industrialized nations expect to live longer
negative consequences trend societies can take steps potential problems people live longer populations grow
older related problems can be anticipated retirement age eligible to receive a pension proportion of younger
working adults will be smaller receive less money in taxes in relation to the size of population greater tax
burden for working adults pressures will include a rise in the demand for health care the fact young adults will
increasingly have to look after their elderly relatives actions could solve simple solution increase the retirement
age for working adults from 65 to 70 people of this age be healthy to continue a productive working life second
major encourage immigration to increase the number of working adults who pay taxes money from national
budgets can be taken spent on vital healthcare accommodation and transport facilities raising number of older
citizens arise as the populations of countries grow older
Environmental problems
Humans are damaging the environment reasonable for a variety of environmental problems take steps to
reduce the damage causing to the planet environmental problems measure can take to address these problems
big threats to the environment air pollution waste gas emissions from factories exhaust fumes from vehicles
lead to global warming devastating effect producing ever greater quantities of waste contaminated the earth,
pollutes rivers and oceans make more effort to reduce air pollution introduce laws to limit emissions from
factories first companions to use a renewable energy from solar wind water power impose green taxes on
drivers airline companies encouraged to use public transport take fewer flights abroad reducing emissions
individuals take responsibility impact they have on the environment can take public transport rather than
driving choose products with less packaging recycle as much as possible supermarkets provide reusable bags
for shoppers as well as banks for recycling glass plastic and paper in their car parks reusing and recycling help
to reduce waste both national governments and individuals play their part in looking after the environment
Parental roles
Father stay at home take care of their children increasingly likely take on the role of house husband more
woman than ever are the bread winners reasons a very positive trend adapt to various changes societies equal
rights movements made great progress become normal for women gain qualifications pursue a career become

The roles of music
many different types of music traditional music important than International music a rituality of musical style
around the world vital part of all human cultures range of reasons traditional music more important than mother
International music a company's throughout our lives are toad songs by our parents and teachers means of

culture costumes and history of a country traditional styles connect us to the past form part of our cultural
identity reality if pop music became so predominant national styles disappeared music is unnecessary part of
human existence traditional music be given more important International music
Technology versus people's interaction
The way people interact with each other changed because of technology technology affected the types of
relationships positive negative development new technologies influence on communication technology has
affected relationships in various ways both positive negative effects technology impact on relationships in
business educational social life telephone internet allow business people interact without ever meeting each
other services like Skype create new possibilities for relationships students and teachers take video lessons
with the teacher different city or country social networks like Facebook make new friends find people who share
common interests interact through computers rather than face to face developments extremely positive
cooperation people in different countries more difficult communication was limited to written letters or
telegrams interactions by email phone video are almost as good as face-to-face meetings benefit from these
interactions in work social context availability of new communication technologies have the result of isolating
people discouraging real interaction make friends online rather than mixing with their peers in the real world
virtual relationships poor substitute real friendships technology revolutionize it communication between people
not all of outcomes this revolution has been positive

success were stacked in favor of those privileged backgrounds there is a positive relationship between equality
and personal success
Genetic engineering
Important issue in society may be a threat to life on earth improve people's lives genetic engineering key area
of modern scientific research brought implications human societies field of technology have dangers negative
implications in terms of two key areas food production cloning of humans genetically modified crops being
grown can make damage whole ecosystems as foods become resistant to diseases and natural predators
worrying that humans could be modified or cloned world with clonid humans used to fight wars provide body
part replacements not a third to life on earth implications of such practices would be unprecedented more
optimistic prediction humans will find ways to mitigate the risks use genetic technologies responsible way
production perspective could be solution to famine in developing countries crops can be grown more reliably in
harsh conditions medical perspective genetic engineering produce vaccines to cure diseases correct at genetic
defect before a child is born properly regulated even the cloning can improve lease cloning of individual organs
such as hurt or kidney could be permitted for transplant purposes have a positive impact on our lives people's
fear will be unwarranted
Choices
northeast many choices modern Life presents us with overhelming number of choices agree internet
globalization two major factories internet dramatic expansion choices available to us number of online media
options almost endless countless websites offering entertainment news videos on demand TV music streaming
which are free abundance of media leads to Confucian on the part of the average user many decisions content
that we consumed personal example choice of just for TV channels before thousands of films and series through
services like Netflix nowadays alongside the influence internet globalization making the world smaller and
compounding this problem too much choice cheap international flights overseas travel possible for millions of
people faced with the world of options where to live no longer have the limited but simple travel choices of our
grandparents generations increasing tendency for young people to study abroad opportunity for overseas study
seems appealing confused where to go which path to take faced with a huge number of options most areas of
life nowadays more bewildering than beneficial
Artificial intelligence
Developments field of artificial intelligence positive impact worried that we are not prepared for a world
computers are more intelligent than humans people seem excited or worried about future impact of artificial
intelligence to opposing points of view fascinated by developments in artificial intelligence apprehensive about
its possible negative effects obvious benefits machines do many jobs better especially in the areas require high
levels of accuracy calculations using large amounts of data robots being developed surgical producers with
greater precision than a human doctor have cars that use sensors cameras to drive themselves improves safety
by reducing the likelihood of human errors steadily improve our quality of life concerns of people in artificial
intelligence may harm us not careful arise in unemployment as workers industries are replaced by machines or
software programs self-driving recycles cause redundancies in driving jobs Lori drivers taxi drivers bus drivers
medium term intelligent technologies gradually take jobs away from humans people become deskilled lose their
sense of purpose in life computers so intelligence that they begin to make decisions without human oversight
without regard for our well-being intelligent machines no doubt improve our lives the potential risks of such
technologies should not be ignored
Work life balance
Try to balance work other parts of their lives difficult to do problems associated with achieve a better balance
increasingly concerned individual happiness work-life balance main problem takes up too much time causes
mental health issues best way to achieve this balance is to work more efficiently primary issues work-life
balance amount of time spent working impacts their mental health global financial crisis job market around the
world increasingly competitive old workers may get pushed out of their jobs by younger graduates new
graduated put in enormous extra hours to catch up result in more work it's a way at a person's private life
becomes restricted variety of related mental health problems our work it suffer from excessive stress forms of
depression obesity because of the lack of time availability to exercise or sleep sharp rise in the last decade
combat being overworked get more time for their personal life work more efficiently Ideal world ways to elevate
the burden put less stress on individuals making the most of your time more pragmatic solutions smartphones
hello lot of work done previously wasted hours in the past send emails make phone calls use productivity
applications when waiting for the bus train or standing in line people make the choice not to scroll through
Facebook or read the news that is a small sacrifice to have some extra time at the end of the day who's singing
hobie's spend time with a loved one food work life balance apparent current economic climate best solution
ways to maximize efficiency change it daily habits related to social media using the internet able to find more
worthwhile passions not feel as though their life is passing them by
Choices
Common hear people number of choices relative to the past proclaiming the drawbacks easily available options
Verity of areas of life some truth in this ultimately a positive trend opens up options outside the mainstream
increase choice negative development makes life more complicated number of products choose from state
supermarkets are fill it with different brands with hardly any meaningful differences waste time energy making
choices with little actual impact online streaming services like Netflix Hulu and HBO not only do people have to
spend their time researching these sites make a choice they are limiting able to watch in the future be paying
upwards of $40 a month for basic viewing content couple of days take up time make life more complex choices
introduce a level of complexibility to life main benefit opens up options outside dominant cultural trends
changes taken place in music industry advent of iTunes streaming services big Pop acts dominated the radio
and album sales music scene fractured difficult for some artists opens up the possibility find niche of music
replicated like podcasting painting film as well what interest is major companies trying to push choice is
positive taken as a whole do not out with the advantages gain it by allowing people to explore what interests
them the most present challenges and love for a more diverse cultural experience for rich and poor alike
Population and young people
Relatively large number of young adults older people situation out with the disadvantages the average age
population for many Nations decline in recent decades creating a situation world's largest demographic in
developing nations phenomenon expertise in the workforce lead to booming economies having a problem
immensely young population lack of skilled workers many important industries youngest populations few
leaders in important areas like engineering and technology built a survey system were not enough skilled
engineers accomplish the feat hire a huge numbers of specialists from Japan ensure the quality of their project
potential engineers for this project still in school studying abroad maybe another decade ready to design
execute a large complex infrastructure uncommon for developing countries require outside assistance for
national projects to do detriment of their own workers many future benefits to a country key indicator future
economic prosperity all this population lead into a deep economic recession nation assume responsibilities
related to health care and that the dwindling link workforce so called tiger economies couple to visit growing
middle class A better education will enjoy upward economic growth expand because well educated graduates
will be able to get good jobs will become a consumer class feeds the economy young population desirable for
any nation indicates a country is going to be successful young population is education governments focus on
fully exploited the benefits of their demographics
Foreign languages
Have to speak a foreign language serious social problems practical problems biggest social and practical
challenges face living abroad people language barrier lead to very serious social problems but technology made
the practical issues less relevant last several decades speak a foreign languages cause social problem
breakdown in understanding between people in different cultures salient example influx of Hispanic immigrants
able to integrate well if they learn English not to learn it have provoked social problems even violent reactions
speaking residence the immigrants failure to integrate has a result in discriminatory practices widespread
racism towards Hispanics Hispanics to develop an antipathy towards other residents segregate themselves in
homogeneous neighborhoods if you were practical problems not knowing the languages of the country because
of the development of technology general smartphones in particular computers have make it much easier to
look up directions find important information get quick translations smartphones make it even easier doesn't
know the languages of the country still find restaurants to their liking on Facebook get simple directions
through Google maps even order food online without having to use another language communicate with
someone can simply take out their phone use Google translator effectively Conway a message problems not
knowing the language of the country where you live causes minimal easily overcome not knowing a language
social unrest but pragmatic concerns mitigated by recent technology even less important to know the language
great potential for increased social unrest parts of the world heightened tensions
Sporting events
Waste of money for countries host big sporting events like world cup better spent on other things hosting
large sporting events positive impact on a country fierce competition host major international sports events
world cup Olympics unique opportunity boost the national reputation of the host nation undeniable benefits
governments prioritize other key issues to better benefit their citizens host nation for global events bring some
number of economic infrastructure benefits influx of tourists from all over the world need places to stay
restaurants to eat traditional products to purchase made to cater to these tourists remain long after they have
gone coast of renovating a hotel pay for itself turning a large profit in later years other main area of
development related to the rapid expansion of quality infrastructure forced to invest in New sports facilities like
swimming pools and stadiums make renovations to pre-existing infrastructure like roads and airports and
opportunity to modernize all buildings and roads competitions use up tremendous resources host nation
temporary competition success of these prestigious events waste a large percentage of the nation budget
leading up to the competition often times billions of dollars newly constructed buildings facilities fall into disuse
after each tournament salient example abundant and becoming decrepit other pressing issue festering need for
new schools for underprivileged students quality healthcare elderly population government prioritize these
issues be in a better position its citizens have a higher standards of living due to the exorbitant costs not
allocate such a large percentage of its financial resources to hosting global events negligible long-term impact
should be hosted in the same countries year after year new infrastructure pays for itself over time

Traffic and housing

Traffic housing problems sold by moving companies factories their employees cities to the countryside
ameliorate some of the worst traffic housing issues suitable solution particular city problems facilities of major
corporations reduce traffic problems encouraging more people to live in the countryside for their work live in
cities today than ever before caused terrible traffic not uncommon for gridlocked motorways delay motorists for
hours depend on getting the countryside nearby suburb reduce traffic major impact on overcrowded cities lose
billions of dollars a year time wasted in traffic jams recent research moving factories employees help to mitigate
housing issues in cities Rush of people from the country has necessitated the construction of massive
skyscrapers underdeveloped cities not have the sophisticated infrastructure including efficient plumbing clean
water trash collection needed to service a concentrated population moving jobs to the countryside developing
countries have more time to improve their infrastructure to deal with surging urban population reduce traffic
and housing problems studied this closely enacted laws to encourage people to move greatly improves the
quality of life for everyone living in the city
Museums and galleries
Focus on works shows the history and culture of own country works of other parts of the world more important
for museums to display work from the country are located rather than draw from the other places around the
world museums valuable educational tool to learn about one's own country museums should aspire to broaden
people's perspective rather than narrow and deepen it proponents of museums showcasing works point out
connect with their countries culture and history learn about the Constitution the founding fathers where is wars
of liberation museums to see the actual historical documents have a more memorable impression senior famous
work of art or historical documents up close may notice details not in their book feel a more personal connection
to their country strong argument museum specializing people to gain a broader view of cultures around the
world cannot afford to travel abroad unlikely to experience another culture deeply as a tourist great opportunity
all ages to learn about other countries see artifacts from Erie continent in the world without a plane ticket keep
returning to the museum they will learn more and more inevitable show a mixture of workers from their own
country other countries people to take in the breadth of culture of the whole world just their country young age
learning about the world likely to grow up more tolerant
Museums and galleries 2
Focus on works natural debate around the issue should be showcasing forks mainly from their own country
other countries important to learn about other cultures have the right and responsibility to preserve maintain
their own cultural history showing a variety of Forex from many different countries people's lives are enriched
through all these different cultures packs in dozens of distinct national cultures identities going to museum
Cosmopolitan city likely to find paintings next to modernist Spanish sculpture German works allows people to
feel they are traveling around to the world taking in a variety of viewpoints exposure to culture they may
become two better understand other nations have greater insight into what connects differentiate this countries
from each other clear benefits of learning cultures have the right to house the relics of their own country
displaying works without permission mainly sources during the heat of the bridge empire disputed the right of
the museum countries artifacts only right that countries keep what was made in their country educate their own
people about their history without explicate permission should be returned have stolen if they are caught
tremendous value in museums is playing works not override the basic right of Nations look after all history
forward would be to encourage museums have frequent exchanges and temporary exhibitions
Literature
 School children thought about the literature chip own country more important than other countries more
important learn about literature one's own country complete agreement viewpoint of how little she can
contribute to both national understanding and individual identity most fundamental reason exposed to
literature own country is to deepen their understanding common circum including authors Conway principles of
individualism creativity and entrepreneurship key to understanding history and present focused on a period of
racial segregation to better understand recent events around movement learning about racism from my classic
novel likely engage in form and stimulate a relevant response national literature sheep personal identity
impressible age form identity from a variety of sources literature of other countries positive development mean
influence from their own country true representative of their nationality feel like an outside method of counting
this have a good grasp of poetry and fiction classic poetry influence it singular minimalist tradition from the
Noels learn about relationships between people differing levels of formality all contribute to making their
identity better understand how your identity firmly shaped by the literature of their home country becoming
increasingly important globalize the world that threatens to blur the distinctions between nationalities into a
single monoculture
Buildings
Designing a building intended use of building it's outward appearance building design architects may come
promises between form and function purpose of building dictate these decisions how is the building used is a
key factor looks just as important building should be constructed according to its function mainly thinking about
the people later use the building unable to perform basic functions undoubtedly failed project architect building
a primary school consider parking areas cars will pick up and drop off children put the playground access for
people with disabilities area around the school beautiful parking has room for a handful of cars is useless
classrooms large enough hallways get easily too crowded good number and location of restrooms pragmatic
concerns architect is overly focused how the school looks may sacrifice ease of use and practicality look of the
building important the role of art in everyday the original purest forms of artistic expression city field with ugly
utilitarian structures like Minnesota area buildings not lift people's spirits encourage them to contemplate the
intended message city where architects have been given free reign to the artist buildings functional find the
city filled with beauty and provocation enhances life for its inhabitants outward appearance have to be beautiful
as a responsibility to contribute something to enrich the leaves of everyday people building works equally
important how the same building looks form shouldn't follow function be fused together add aesthetic
dimension of a city more challenging expensive time consuming achieve this kind of balance also worth the
effort
Plastic bags
Plastic shopping bags used widely closed environmental problems should be banned with deni plastic bags
used in supermarkets shops have a negative effect on the environmental do not degrade ,ends up as a litter
replacements for plastic bags carry significant environmental risks plastic bags should not be banned mean
environmental side effect plastic bags they pollute both the land and water insignificant percentage of people
reuse or recycle plastic bags ultimately litter or through them in the trash plastic bags will wind up in the ever-
increasing number of landfills and contribute to soil pollution simply tossed in the street clog eventually will be
in sea and entangle marine life plastic bags should banned solutions for plastic bags worse than the original
problem advocate banning plastic bags suggest paper bags which are biodegradable or reusable bags typically
made from cotton or plastic replacements are flawed paper bags require contribute cleaning forests carry a
large carbon footprint reusable bags plagued by similar plastic more harm to the environment disposable plastic
bags reusable bags more difficult to recycle overall effect in on the environment is worse simplistic restrictions
on plastic bags have the desired positive effect thoughtlessly banning them come up with the policy that
balances the materials we use for bags to produce an overall positive impact on the environment
Big cities
Living in the large cities process many problems encourage more people to live in smaller town living cities any
point in the past likely to continue in the future resulted in many problems including extreme overcrowding
governments take measures to make living outside cities more attractive rise of modern cities most of these
issues is population density people cram it into a relatively small area caused expensive housing increased
traffic and severe pollution apartment prices in mega cities like Tokyo have soard to the point only well these
inhabitants can afford decent living standards regardless of financial status city developers deal with more
traffic jams as population increases people living and traveling puts a tremendous strain on the environment
have become dangerously polluted have a duty to encourage citizens to move to more rural areas cities
continue to expand onabated will only get worse living in a densely packet heavily polluted cities resemble
scenes from dystopian science fiction film prevent disease from happening government give tax breaks to
companies that choose to locate offices and production facilities outside the city provide more jobs for people
willing to live in the countryside the concern is related to overcrowding in cities countered by governments
incentivizing living in rural areas face problems
Online meetings
Recent research business meetings training or increasingly taking place online businesses today hold meetings
do training online rather than in person interpersonal relationships positive impact on employees with families
conducting the majority of business meetings online potentially if negative effect on the social dynamics of a
company the preference for online communication sacrifices essential elements of human interaction more
efficient authoritarian process when people sit in a room together for training or a meeting more likely to form
strong interpersonal bonds will be able to see each other's body language better good chance to socialize in
person afterwards employees have a private chat about the meeting or training while still at work this is much
less likely to happen when people are working from home or a remote location you using online tools like Skype
to communication more training have more meetings online making life more convenient for their employees
with families most people face the challenge of working and having a family one of the parents should give up
their job to stay at home to hire an expensive caretaker their child during the day more meetings training took
place online could free up time for people for certain jobs IT workers work entirely from home after their child
during the day have to make time for the training meetings won't waste valuable time commuting to the office
online training meetings may sacrifice some of the social aspects of work more made up convenience Ella's
working families have to work to make endless meat we should support any efforts to relieve these financial and
physical burdens
Leadership
Opinion naturally born as good leaders leadership skills can be learned important people are born with certain
characteristics enable them to become great leaders leadership is learnable quality letter viewpoint training
and experience more important than innate ability individuals born with distinctive personal traitors allow them
the opportunity to become talented leaders leaders tend to be charming and persuasive who lack of these
characteristics may have difficulty inspiring the belief and loyalty leaders require ends up as a follower for
example a salesman fails to convince his clients maybe dissuaded from becoming the sales team leader more
convincing salesman likely to rise to that role assert that leadership skills can be achieved through proper
training and effort larger amount of institutes offering leadership training programs helping people to learn
these skills public speaking one of many skills schools can teach individuals who are shy and lack confidence
find Siri fit in the leadership battle by learning the essence of good body language pronunciation and other
elements of good public speaking make them better letters traits related to leadership likely inherited serious
tremendous room for people to grow into positions of responsibility apply themselves fully to learning the skills
and personal characteristics of great leaders
Climate change
Climate change phenomenon affects countries strongly believe responsibility of individuals corporations
governments deal with the problem climate change real danger certain not only our lives also the quality of life
of future generations need to take responsibility because governments in cooperation with private companies
have both a greater responsibility and capacity climate change cannot simply be the responsibility of private
citizens do not have the ability to affect large systemic changes in the way that the governments in conjunction
with corporations do only contribute in small ways recycle is the best way they can do there is people who do
not can enact legislation requiring both individuals and large corporations by certain restrictions laws for
corporations are the real solution they contribute by far the most to climate change by reducing how much
waste produced how they treat that waste climate change seriously contract governments should be
responsible for combating climate change responsible for global problems individuals should only have to deal
with the local and personal problems person only concerns themselves with their job and personal life this is
extent of their responsibility governments are responsible for various things related to their citizens including
security healthcare in some cases and education environment it impacts citizens well-being falls under the limit
of fat governmental responsibility individuals never able to have the effect government will not their
responsibility at any rate governments taking measures corporate and private based are taking up the rightful
burden
History versus science
History most important school subject like science and technology are more important than history many
people call it into question the importance in today's world of subjects like history do not have an immediately
discernible impact on most future careers history should still be mandatory more practical subjects related to
technology and the arts are more needed in our evolving world study some history it provides crucial insights
into Nations world serve as spring boards for later political beliefs Revolution Constitution the founding fathers
periodically from elementary to high school learn about why we're started colonies could tax and govern
themselves Prince please students learn includes the idea of American exceptionalism life liberty The pursuit of
happiness responsibility of citizens to vote representative democracy lean liberal or conservative hold the same
basic convictions about individual liberty and responsibility knowing the context emergency students to become
adults with Will informed political beliefs more difficult for unscrupulous politicians make false assertions about
the past practical sciences arts should be prioritized likely to have an impact on a person's future career
students will end up with carriers in history as historians or professors large percentage will work in the arts
especially the science University measures are engineering finance and graphic design emphasis math at school
will better prepare them to make calculations in complex engineering projects when working at a bank or
accountancy firm high demand for graphic designers on websites and advertisements devote more of their
educational budget towards these practical subjects give students a head start on a potential future car
increase chances of having a higher standard of living moderate approach is best school administrators not
remove history from time table they should devote more time and resources to teaching of subjects related to
technology and the arts become more important as the touch industry continues to dominate the future job
market
Agriculture versus hunger
Advances made in agriculture hungry tremendous development agricultural science world continue to suffer
even die from Hunger Innovations rarely impact the developing world the best solution humanitarian funding
towards these advances advanced agricultural methods not reaching the people in the developing world has
trouble implementing these methods limited financial resources to poor existing infrastructure to political
instability malnourishment has historically been highest Revolution after revolution over the last several
decades has effectively destabilized the entire country learn about changes in agriculture frequently shut down
or destroyed become agricultural scientists end up drawing into the conflict as soldiers or victims long-term
economic neglect government has limited ability to subsidise farming prevent you varying degrees in countries
offer one possible explanation prevalence of hunger most effective directing humanitarian funds focused on
food towards education and agricultural infrastructure would aid is a notoriously poor solution it only offers an
immediate solution warlords is often exploit it support to see your continue to mistreatment of their people hurt
more better long-term effects International organizations governments redirected that money into helping build
better farms provide more modern equipment sending qualified professions to train people in need own
windmill out of old bicycle parts large enough to power his own house seeking financial for a larger power
irrigation channels entire village can be found or trained have an impact that lasts for decades relatively
impervious to the factors agricultural advances taking root in developing countries developing companies face
myraid problems hinders their ability to take advantage of newer agricultural models should direct more
funding to helping learn more about new farming metals likely to be an important issues in the world gap
between rich and poor develop and undeveloped widens technological progress continuous it's in different
march forward
Newspaper versus the internet
Newspapers learn to news can learn new better through media newspapers considered reliable news source
newer forms of media have supplanted their influence sources of news are better newspaper are by far better
amount of time research that writers put into their articles prefer newer media outlets deliver news more
quickly variety of continent platforms notable example online news West majority of people get their news from
Facebook and other social media websites aggregate articles various online publishers including online version
of print newspapers in some cases websites are solely concerned with increasing traffic and getting news up
common occurrence for a website to publish news quickly to beat others has been properly verified even
thoughtfully analyzed result is hard to solve people clicking on links to amuse themselves without casting a
critical eye veracity of the news articles shared online by word of mouth falls information spreads rapidly
conveniences of online media news printed in newspapers better research it verified in most cases devote on
entire departments long-term investigate journalism stand out example long investigation carefully interview
with victims put together a convincing case lead to long-lasting reforms convictions of some individuals
published stories eloid for detail it thoughtful analysis of the problem suggestions for solutions articles on wider
social implications type of reporting anathema fervent pace of online media newspapers dying industry more
informative and trustworthy largely online institutions replacing them Trent is reversible have consequences for
the future of democraces around world become less informed
Age for driving
Best way increase the road safety increase the minimum legal age for driving cars raising the age at which
people can get driving license best way to make roads safer help prevent some accidents in experience
important to focus on safer roads through improved urban planning justification proponents of raising the age
can drive is the number of accidents attributed to inexperience get their driving permit around age 16 couple of
factors lead more accidents simply do not have as much road experience only dealt with a limited number of
experiences more likely to make poor decisions at pivotal moments drinking alcohol around this driving age
notoriously responsible have not developed strategies for handling alcohol when driving all people dangerous
especially inexperienced it in terms of both alcohol and driving valid points number of accidents poor urban
planning infrastructure cause always include young drivers driving while under the influence and road rage only
factor plays a hand in all accidents relates to how the roads have been planned the urban planners constructed
almost entirely one way streets make it inconvenient at times has resulted one of the lowest accident rates in
the USA allowed for the construction of parallel streetcars have also greatly reduced the number of accidents
have replicated this approach by increasing the number of one way streets working street cars into city plan
seen reciprocal declines in vehicular accidents urban planning not being well-publicized main source of
accidents raising the legal driving age have little real impact focus their attention on the causes than the
symptoms of accidents the safer our roads will be for ourselves future generations
Fast public transport
Governments invest mainly in making public transportation faster more important priorities cost the
environment important factor public transport is speed others value such as cost and environment key
considerations speed is by far the most important commonly address it arias of public transport are cost and
the environment the quality of public transport buses is very low they produce a lot of air pollution they are
very cheap ellos the residents who need them most typically students and low wage earners to afford Ideal
world the government should have cheap bosses produce little exhaust cost and environmental concerns always
being conflict makes sense to emphasize the expense of tickets countries have the wealth and responsibility to
try to better balance competing policy influences worthwhile considerations speed of transport should be main
rational has a trickle down effect on the economy quality of life of a country famously fast efficient system of
railways both inside cities and connecting provinces within the country someone has a country foster transport
allows them to spend more time with their family can enhance the quality of life of working class People will get
to work faster get more work done during the day have more time to recuperate for the next day this has
hastened Japan's development into one of the world's leading economies cost and the environment are crucial
for ordinary People feature of our plant but speed has a greater effect both in short and long terms should focus
on foster public transport reap their rewards for the kids be able to reinvest that money in areas like the
environment education and healthcare
Sharing information
Good to share as much as information as possible scientific research business academic world information to
important to valuable to be shared freely how much information relevant to various areas of scientific and
academic research shared is becoming more important as the pace of technological innovation quickens the
internet allows for instant collaboration information is a valuable potentially dangerous asset should only be
shared freely in particular circumstances advocates of freely sharing information rightly collaboration leads to
foster results offering their individual research results businesses which can work together they are not
competitors on advertising or product development academics fresh perspectives to push their work to higher
plateaus potential for sharing information in the business world they are successful advertising business by
working together various companies sharing information Google collects a variety of statistics related to users
including location and interests information is shared to this advertisers better target ads for users allows the
consumer to see more relevant products and services the companies advertising to target audience more
efficiently information is still up valuable asset individuals companies should safeguard in a perfect world
openly share everything they know but social and economic constructions of our actual world make this a native
proposition Elon musk explain it his rocket company SpaceX does not apply for patents on any new technology
he reasoned that his main competitors are governments not private companies if his company discloses it's
Innovations then domestic and foreign governments take advantage of the shared technology potentially this
trip his business cheering can prove damaging in a capitalist society sharing might be a valid standpoint in a
perfect world it's not feasible under current global conditions looking to increase sharing governments should
do more to support innovative companies and researchers will have a larger overall impact
Situation acceptance
Best to accept a bad situation such as an unsatisfactory job or shortage of money better to try and improve
such situations find themselves in situations must either accept what life has given them or find a way to move
up in the world accepting your situation maybe pragmatic in some cases better to strive to improve your
situation as it can usually be better at some degree the vast majority of people unable to drastically change
their situation and acceptance of this fact make them feel more satisfied with senior lives best example those
people living in dire economic conditions recent research one of the poorest Nations on earth Republic of Congo
due to lack of development infrastructure and internal strife in recent years living in a small village ravaged by
war or famine would be cruel to suggest that they should find the way to improve their lives might simply be
impossible such people may feel they are better off accepting that they cannot make any changes to their
situation at the present moment just focus on their own survival and of their family situations are rare but do
exist around the world various countries particularly if they are at war or experiencing a severe economic
downturn dispute the fact that most difficult situations people can make their lives better through continued
effort instances of people work at heart became successful abound both development and developing nations
some relevant examples post-war situations countries were devastated by war to greater and lesser degrees all
currently economic power houses population depleted of workers deep national debt due to reparations and
infrastructure reduced by rubble not accepting their situation able to become leaders in technology through
notable companies like Sony Nokia and Toyota efficacy of the individuals have to work hard to improve their
leaves reflected in the oral progress serve as an example to all war torn Nations few situations severe would be
advisable to simply accept an unhappy situation because hard work over a long period will pay off to some
degree in the vast majority of cases having a more positive attitude more likely your efforts to make a better
life will be rewarded more defeatist attitude likely to reduce your chances make changes in life
Environmental problems
Mean environmental problem loss of particular spaces of plants and animals risks for endangered plants and
wildlife most severe consequences of our worsening environment problems are more pressing recurring natural
disasters be important the loss of wildlife most serious threat to the environment rise in recent catastrophic
natural disasters strongly linked to climate change case that incremental rises in temperature specifically
involving the oceans increased the frequency potency of hurricanes tsunamis and blizzards countless instances
but the tsunami affecting mainly Indonesia Malaysia and Thailand particularly striking example largest natural
disaster resulted in thousands of death injuries and billions of dollars in damages affects of which sets these
developing nations back economically for years lost their lives homes livelihood main reason so focused on
plants and animal life because of the rising number of endangered animals most of well-known examples often
cited case of polar bears polar bears leave mainly in the Arctic recent melting of the polar ice caps resulted in
reduced eyes for polar bears to hunt on polar bears become an endangered species often forecast that they will
be entirely extinct in the wild the extinction likely have a domino effect on the fragile ecosystem of the Arctic
other endangered animals seals and narwhales impact of global warming on animals plants of our planet
extinction your irreversible there is no more lasting impression the plate is the world entirely of a species the
last of ecological diversity trumps other environmental concerns remedy this problem need to take serious
steps to not only invest more in conservation efforts for endangered animals also work towards long-term
reforms related to fossil fuel carbon emissions and other apparent catalysts for climate change
Self development versus company
Self-employed work for a company or organization being self-employed increase number of people opting to
start their own companies working for a company mainly because of the increased support for young
entrepreneurs not having an employer or lack of expertise oral effect on businesses number of self-employed
young entrepreneurs has its origin widespread angle investment across a variety of industries well known
example panel of investors executives here product pictures compete to purchase stakes in budding
entrepreneurs businesses launched a number of successful products by securing initial funding lead to a trickle-
down effect from this show turn it into specific dreams into realistics encourages viewers in general to become
more ambitious has mean catalyst for frenzy of self run businesses popping up in recent years startup
companies oral impact negative because it results in many poorly-round businesses number of rights sharing
apps including Uber grab lift b go Wyatt and countless others have sprung up established companies provide a
functioning app with high quality service to meet the growing demands of the this industry the majority of small
startups finds themselves in over their heads with apps barely function drivers shortages that specialize in
inconveniencing customers would be better for people starting these derivative businesses either work in
companies gain valuable experience look for gabs in the market then develop worthy competitors or simply be
content to have a good job in a good company they don't need all rising number of new companies lead to a cult
of our confidence satisfied working for others rather than pursuing on the realizable ambitions lead to better
consumer products across the board increase national economic prosperity
Music
Music good way of bringing people of different cultures ages together music a key to distinguisher of culture
can bridge cultural gaps differences in age our state is the impact of music leveling differences between
generations brings people of different cultures together by expressing universal sentiments music not
particularly good unifier generational disparity tend to enjoy the music from their formative years this day in
whatever is currently relevant exceptions accurate stereotype of an old people complaining about the music
that youths listen to nowadays and most popular artists include Kanye West Taylor swift and Rihanna right
sugary pop songs become ubiquitous in cafes disagree from past musicians Kenya is a brass ripper with
controversial opinions music constantly shifts and redefines genre Rihanna and Taylor swift songs right chicory
pop songs become ubiquitous in cafes on the radio older people prefer listen to intricate melodies insightful
writing of the The Beatles or the row sincerity of all school rap differences between the generations reflected
and augmented rather than mediated due to the different personalities styles of modern music music little to
elevate generational barriers help cultural relate through universal human perspectives still understand the
messages of the music one great example music of Bob Marley culture has become influential around the world
because he expressed universal feelings of love empathy and positivity against the backdrop of a nation
experiencing political and economic upheaval resilience against this pulses through his infectious music
translated across cultural dividers first hand experience with different races or cultures still identify enjoy his
music connection base it entirely on music brings together people of disparate cultures through an emotional
intellectual bonding on common issues music do more to divide the young and old it definitely universality to
bring together different cultures important world appears to be more divided than ever that find common
ground to build cross-cultural relationships
Responsibility for health
Individual own healthy lifestyle governments should take care of it much recent policy advocacy related to
proper role of governments in healthcare should be to treat this issue with the seriousness its emeritus
responsibility for taking care of one's health ultimately rest of this individuals likely to stick with habits have
cultivated favor strong governmental intervention role of the state informing healthy eating habits through
early intervention at public schools less majority of students at the state schools implementing new polices
aimed at curbing addiction to unhealthy foods reduced the total intake of saturated fats in schools launches
drastically cut down on sugar not only in prepared lunches would be good to us vending machines placed
around most schools short-term improved health for students true effect the next several decades likely to
eschew fast food for the healthier alternatives meet the growing demands for increasingly healthy conscious
nation governmental action individuals better at regulating own behavior long-term ways to get around the
rules in order to satisfy their most basic desires related to food people will always crave unhealthy delicious
food brains are hardwired to feel pressure saturated fats carbohydrates and sugar imposed strict rules over the
food still facing an obesity crisis combat poor health develop the discipline on their own choice to eat healthier
more likely to stick with this rabbit having worked out the reasons for themselves simply following a real
imposed by their schools have a large road to play in public house only individuals can take control of their own
leaves make decisions that will truly benefit them best solutions simply no solution standing back alloying
people to become more self-reliant have more long-lasting effects also empower individuals in various other
areas be more responsible

areas of the city were deemed to dangerous by residents to safely leave in or walk through at night reduce
crime increasing the number of police officers lead to reciprocal decline in crime made the tourist heavy
neighborhoods entirely safe the rougher districts at least possibly crime free effective administrators also
tackled the root causes of crime principal causes of crime are related to education in directly poverty more
directly extremely low poverty unemployment rate is correspondingly low rates of crime most remove net
education systems graduate from high school and University immediately employable skills most are employed
throughout their lifetimes have money to afford a good standard of living little incentive for criminal behavior

parents home at 18 never look back take their first baby steps towards looking after themselves doing their own
laundry managing their finances taking on campus employment graduate from University likely to take over
there entire financial outlay find a good job spend more responsibly qualities frugality responsibility serves

more people parents should provide the degree of financial support when necessary focus more on fostering
their child drinks independence
Throwaway society
Living in a through array society used for a short time thrown away proliferation of single-use products major
concern main cause of this increase disposable income couplet with advances in technology main result
environmental degradation rise of single or limited use products new technologies people's ability to afford
them possible to cheaply produce plastic products on a mass scale technological advances make these products
profitable for large companies like Walmart advances in technology only meet demand from a burgeoning global
middle class do not have to use the same places dishes and bags previous generations more protective of can
afford to buy throw out various household items result of the over-dependence on single-use products burning
more fossil fuels turn escalates climate change cheap plastic chemical process involving raw oil transported on
ships planes running on petrol being carted on tracks to supermarket total assumulation of fossil fuel
consumption massive itated climate change leading to increases in the severity of natural disasters
endangerment of plant and animal species dire warnings by climate scientists standard of living of future
generations so called throw away society result of economic technological factors is taking a massive toll on the
environment corpse this problem by instituting white reaching bands on single use plastics like straws and bags
Smoking
Best way prevent people from smoking impose high taxes on tobacco products will be less likely to develop a
long-term addiction best method of reducing the number of smokers to raise taxes there are economic
disadvantages greatest impact economic disadvantages of increasing taxes on smoking will hurt the large
tobacco industries the largest tobacco company in the world provide thousands of jobs pays large taxes on its
revenue to prop up state and federal budgets Texas on tobacco have desired effect many people lose their jobs
and budgets would be slash it sacrifice might be willing to accept would be nonetheless negative raising the
cost of smoking is the best way to reduce smoking good example little or no tax on tobacco products with with
high taxes has a particularly high number of smokers main reason tobacco lobbies have blocked tax legislation
keeping the price of a pack below a dollar smoking is on the decline if you can justify paying more than $10 for a
pack of cigarettes might have a negative impact on the economy and jobs raising taxes on tobacco related
goods will reduce smoking embraced this approach rape future rewards and reduced spending for Medicare
Housing for the poor
Everyone needs a place to live provide houses poor to afford responsibility of governments to provide public
housing for members situations might be necessary better to allow people's opportunity to pull themselves out
of poverty support government assistance housing programs institutional checklist keep people in poverty long
painful history concerning with slavery discrimination and still shows its impact in various more muted forms of
racism have few changes to escape poverty on their own homes have a difficulty getting a good education and
then a job provide with housing freeze up your money to go to education of their children can break the long
chain of poverty blighted their path helps themselves more likely be able to maintain their success charity
notoriously double edged sword fosters dependence someone in poverty who works hard and finds an escape
manages to own a home will develop reserves of willpower determination serves them their entire life self-
respect help them encourage them to hold on to their house regardless of obstacles if government simply gifts

educational infrastructure have the kind of secret Foundation allow country to flourish

Changing jobs
Job market competitive best to choose a career field of study get a good job later in life hypercompetitive job
market encourages parents and educators to push specialization increasingly earlier ages choosing a carrier
early on is a safe option not produce the best results opting into a career from an early age become so
prevalent sense of security pushed early by their parents say field is like finest and sciences number of heart
skills required for these fields good mathematical acumen industriousness logical thinking have a head start
onto your purse continue through University into the job market guide is a specialization having a breadth of
knowledge and experience better predictor of future success early specialization is safer majority of leaders
experimented with the large number of subject areas professions before settling on early specializers were
exceptions poor model to imitate multiple Fields helps you to make connections learn a different range of skills
beer on your choosing profession having a range of experience more important locking yourself into a field of

Animal testing
Acceptable to test medicine not right to use animals animals for scientific test purposes fundamentally immoral
necessary evil decidedly unethical oral impact on human progress justifies its continuance the directors of
animal testing animals have rights condone this type of testing on a human Juan is a low IQ follows to treat
animals some measure of respect supporting this level of cruelty involved in animal testing have painful side
effects test subjects may die slow painful death undeniable unjustifiable regarding testing non-essential medical
field such as cosmetics animal testing enough to advance medical testing to warrant its use revealed
importance of animal testing such as diabetic medicine cancer research experimental surgery stem cells testing
insulin for diabetics on dogs maybe most well known example kind of impactful research other advances in
medicine attributed to animal testing say with countless human lives be impossible under the moral contracts of
human test subjects animal testing best way breakthroughs in medicine strongly encouraged should work with
medical institutions implement more medical testing on animals across the board
Ideal society
Historically attempted to achieve a perfect society most important element of Ideal society normal people
improve our society topic of understandable concern key to increase tolerance of difference individual step of
examining their own beliefs past ingrained prejudices next generation mementos shifts in society involved

slavery direct result of considering one group of people separate made society more perfect and their evolution
nascent spread throughout the world allow the great number of people enjoy your full range of freedom and
opportunity achieve more open society closely evaluate their beliefs try to impart more tolerant values younger

parents teaches your children about alternative lifestyles one step towards utopian inclusive society free of
prejudice accept more diverse elements society is already underway continued effort expected generally
positive attitude towards all people progressivism widely from country to country
Prison versus education
Common solution criminal behavior East prison education is better without instead of looking up criminals
better reduce crime by tackling systemic problems in our educational systems education is important
deterrence remains primary inhibitor of criminality education better remedy holds long-term promise main
cause crime is poverty can be linked directly to education countries with strong educational systems Singapore
will regarded school systems majority of graduates find well-paid jobs crime rate is consequently among the
lowest globally no cause to commit the crime if you have enough money to provide yourself and your family
clear results education deterrence remains the main reason threat of prison feel free to steal martyr or commit
whatever crime prison on a crime strict mandatory sentencing guidelines imposed severe sentences on drug
related crimes curb drug trafficking and distribution no substitute for the clear-cut logic engendered by the
threat of prison deterring effect on prison prevents most crime invest in sustainable solutions such as education
and economic reform not neglecting the irreplaceable role of in incarceration
Internet for cultural learning
Internet to learn about the culture not that important to travel to those countries use the internet to
experience other countries no longer as important to actually travel to those Nations proponents of travel claim
real life experiences trump's virtual experience catalogous collections from famous museums in high resolution
photos available internet access Pales in comparison to the experience of walking through to Louvre going on a
guided tour talk with other museum goers experiences enhanced by being physically present in the moment
continue to travel on occasion internet allows access the majority of the experiences remotely salient example
ubiquity of YouTube for internet users child from an impoverished background still has internet access cannot
travel to other another country watch travel documentaries vlogs and aren't you television shows show cultures
around the world not only bring their experience but also aggregate most not worthy events even most
adventurous traveler have difficulty finding the time to locate traveling place a role in life but internet largely
replaced its primary importance in life there will be a time when the virtual world to fully overcomes the
physical but the moment is still beneficial

play a sport set aside time at least once a week partake in team
 Advertising influences
News media become more influential negative development commonly held news has become an invasive force
people's everyday lives news contributes greatly to the decision-making process of discerning citizens
consumed improves its readership's ability make quality decisions regarding to their own interest stand out
example people follow political issues democratic countries difficult to argue important than staying informative
of political developments harmful effects of global warming began to advocate through The ballot box general
public sentiment for reforms lead to the election overhaul of policies environmental conservation direct result of
information gleaned from experts news not always trustworthy organizations always attempting to twist the
news to their advantage recent rise of online news online news goes up immediately more likely to contain
mistakes then use verified publish it in newspapers retractions in newspapers really read almost unheard of for
online news increasing frequency decided consultants on the way people consume news today a white despite
only trusting reputable sources like the New York times or the BBC not navy believing every article they happen
across merits of staying informed take the time to find reliable news sources vet the articles most pertinent to
them
Choices for children
Halloween children make their own choices such as food closes entertainment resulting in a society of
individuals only think about your own wishes important for children to make decisions about matters common
area of debate should be trusted to make their own decisions potential impact their sense of responsibility
decision making skills help in some ways parents dictate choices for children make them more aware of others
children allow it to make their own choices eventually develop sense of responsibility contrasting example of
helicopter parents more liberal parents helicopter parents smother children with attention make the majority of
their decisions the likely become dependent on their parents have to check whether forecasts make choices
about what colors match concern yourself is trans infection not have developed any of these skills because of
their parents have to consider these factors carefully make them more responsible comes to shopping and
taking care of their wardrobe parents should make the majority of choices children more responsible towards
others make the logical and ethical choice to be vegetarians they force their children to do the same not their
individual health also on the environment positive effect learning opportunity for parents teach of spring about
ethics industrial farming is inhumane should be treated with respect have I carry our effect resulting in children
growing up to be more thoughtful towards others parents make most decisions for children to guide them to be
more empathetic should work with teachers in their efforts raise conscientous future citizens
Hunger
Education is the key to tackling hunger worldwide answer is in food aid best way to tackle hunger immediate
food aid is a better solution education better long-term remedy charities are active in food aid efforts clear
impact in emergency situations caused by unpredictable weather conditions coupled with governmental
instability result in mass malnutriation even death impossible to deal with the sources of this feminist but food
8 addresses its symptoms keeps actual people alive the tangible result appropriate in emergencies this group is
the underlying causes of hunger if people are better educated get better jobs hunger disappears as a problem
maybe other relevant economic realities unemployment rate that need addressing education will still go a long
way to eradicating hunger education help in regions that are prone to hunger as farmers will able to develop
better agricultural methods citizens have jobs little real threat of hunger under exceptional circumstances food
8 has its use clearly better option divert more resources into education world hunger ended towards the course
of the next century
Academic versus practical
Primarily taught academic subjects past exams practical skills such as cooking should not be taught educators
feel pressure to teach to the test emphasize academic subjects over more practical ones approach is only short-
sighted practical skills play an important role in a well-rounded education support the singular focus on
academics it's tangible outcome in higher test scores accelerating academic process numerous reformers help
the poorest performing districts catch up overall more students from impoverished or troubled backgrounds can
go to colleges passing exams has real benefit of giving opportunities outside of manial work in the most
extreme cases crime case for over emphasis on academics in districts learning practical skills is an important
part of becoming an all around person pulses certain skills such as a sharp memory logical thinking will perform
better in academics like math and physics these skills are rewarded may become overdeveloped at the expense
of skills related to practical work such as spatial thinking multitasking graduates know how to pleasure their
teachers get good grades in academic subjects find themselves lacking in the real world skills practical skills
long way towards making this a reality academics only applies to niche segment of society learning practical
skills has tremendous benefits ways to balance both despite external pressure parents for the reductive
measure of higher marks

Recycling
Should be training children to recycle waste pressure for the earth's natural resources general sentiment
recycling is an integral part of combating climate change most debate now circles around parents or teachers
should be most responsible schools rich the largest number of children overall instilling values is that parental
right have the basic right to influence their children according to their own beliefs a Muslim living in a Christian
country likely to follow many Islamic traditions if the child to learn implicitly or explicity about judo Christian
tenets in school parents have a right to raise their children in the same manner most culturally fitting applies to
recycling is hardly a matter of subjective belief informed citizens rare potential parents against recycling
recycling is taught because government mandates reach all children no way to legislate every single family
recycle can be easily enacted in schools take an active role in cleaning and separating their own rubbish for
recycling make a huge difference nationally comprehensive approach to fostering lifelong environmentally
conscious habits entire generation schools likely to have a larger impact on recycling habits therefore this is
their responsibility should make recycling their top educational priorities cohesive plan to better the
environment
Shopping malls versus sports facilities
Better to build more public parks sports facilities in new town better to erect parks exercise facilities in new
urban developments ideal solution spur on increased health awareness directors are in a favor of shopping
malls benefit to the economy malls employ hundreds of workers from cashiers to store clerks to managers
various members of janitorial stuff target maintaining the mall itself factors with the increased revenue
businesses bring in the form of taxation propping up the local consumer product market economic returns malls
bring parks and sport facilities encourage better health developed Nations buying more products online services
such as Amazon readily available online no longer pressing issue health become dominant concern of the
decade obesity soars heart disease reached pandemic level well maintain it beautifully landscape at parks
outdoor exercise facilities and still in residence and obligation to work out older people and children not be able
to travel far will be able to access them job market less important than health of ordinary residence bigger issue
feasibility such an approach given the lack of financial incentive prioritize the foundations for residents well
being over business interests
Children being less active
Watch more television spend less time being active or creative children spend more time watching television at
any point in the past used to in the past development of online streaming websites parents should eschew
smartphones curb this trend towards passivity spent an outsized amount of time watching television widely
available on streaming websites you too fast the earliest streaming websites for video content alouette to
watch it on smartphones or iPads rise of streaming websites like Netflix provide the same experience as
television on the internet have the ability to choose whatever show they want posit and binge watch TV shows
on a variety of portable devices with limited adult supervision discourage children from watching television
should not give their children smartphones under any circumstances first step responsible parents must
undertake no longer tempted by phones much easier to get them interested in creative outlets sign up their
children for art or music lessons could encourage them to do art at home instead of putting a TV fill it with
books art suppliers children's natural curiosity artistic energy naturally take our from that point need only
supervised guide and intervene when called upon can counter balance is the rise of streaming by banning
portable devices stocking up on art suppliers take a concerted effort from the majority of parents prevent
children without devices from being ostracised socially
Filmmaking
Digital technology possible for not only studios also individuals to produce their own films democratization of
film lead to greater opportunity fears as to the future of filmmaking largely positive development opens up the
medium for a more diverse range of socieconomic voices film purists resist the digital revolution brings down
the quality of film digital film burst onto the scene replace film around the turn of the century initial complaints
from viewers film looks better digitally shot videos have a cheap aesthetic akin to a soap opera digital film
proliferated beyond studios cut costs exponentially increases the number of films made by amateurs naturally
leads to movies with bad acting clumsily written dialogue poor overall production values digital film has given a
voice to less wealthy filmmakers tend to be of a different class and ethnicity countless examples film digitally
post their video on YouTube become internet sensations outside of the predominantly white male heterosexual
homogeneity increasingly possible for LGBT themes to surface in these shorts for ethnic minorities
breakthrough most striking evidence simply comparing the major movies made 50 years ago with the diverse
range of cinema today's drawbacks in terms of quality mitigated by novel themes from underrepresented
demographics students should pay heed and relax control over and ever promising industry
Buying cars
Purchasing cards for the first time pressing problem automobile purchases in developing countries leading to a
host of problems have to deal with in the future problems center around traffic and the governments can
impose higher taxes support public transport minimize the impact rise of automobile as a popular means of
travel latest to worsening road conditions because developing nations have narrower roads fewer lanes growing
middle class impoverished countries replace bosses motorbikes bicycles with cars concurrent rise in the number
of gridlocked roads linked at 40% rise in traffic jams to have 15 rice in automobile purchases fully address this
problem two potential fixes that governments can apply should enact higher taxes on all of the mobile
purchases to deter buyers have massive impact in cities purchasing a car prohibitively expensive for most
residents another solution invest further in public awareness campaigns alternative modes of travel stand out
example campaign is completed with reduced fares make busing more affordable half cut down drastically
number of recycles on the road traffic problems caused by cars serious issue work hard to combat are made to
reduce automobiles on roads efficient transport see initial investment returned many times improved sustained
economic growth
Gyms
Going to the gym best way stay fit effective Methodist best way to stay in shape is to regularly go to the gym
more effective methods is health benefits of gyms self evident best way to stay fit towards the long term to join
us sports similar activity benefits of working out Jim can broadly be divided doing cardiovascular exercise
weight lifting or partaking in both cardio workouts have proven in various studies increase circulation
strengthen the hurt muscles reduce risks of heart disease later in life weight lifting also scientifically supported
method of combating bone density deterioration important for women improving muscular health West
anecdotal and scientific support for regular trips to the gym motivating to take part in organize its activity
signing up for a gym membership notoriously fickle commitment go for a few months give up never return
again participation in sports and other activities picks up tennis football is likely to play regularly for a large
portion of their life activities like yoga and Tai chi will likely to become lifelong habits have a greater overall
impact on fitness levels going to the gym has indisputable benefits not motivating enough because habitual for
most gym goers encourage children to experiment with wide range of activities can develop a lifelong passion
Happiness
Happiness is very important in life factors are important achieving happiness own knowledge or experience
difficult to define means so many different things to different people link happens to wealth and material
success lies in emotions and lowering personal relationships spiritual path rather than either the material world
or relationships with people only way to true happiness interpret happiness so many different ways difficult to
give any definition if different kinds of happiness for different individuals first step achieving would be to have a
degree or self knowledge person needs to know who who he is able to know what is happiness means loving
relationships good health skills to earn a living peaceful environment contribute to our happiness doesn't mean
people without these conditions cannot be happy and ability to keep clear perspectives in life more essential
factor achieving happiness and ability to have a clear sense of what is important in life welfare of our families
quality of our relationships making other people happy what is not problem at work getting annoyed about
trivial things self-awareness difficult to achieve these two factors most important for achieving happiness
Student behavior
Several problems with student behavior poor student behavior and increasingly widespread problem modern
lifestyle responsible for this birth rate is decreasing families are smaller with fewer children children are often
spoiled not in terms of love and attention because working parents do not have time and more material ways
children are allowed to have whatever they want regardless of price to behave as they please this means
children to grow up without consideration for others without any understanding where did standard of living
comes from get to school age having to learn any self-control or discipline have less respect for teachers refuse
to obey school rules teachers continuously complain about this problem measures can be taken combat the
situation parents should be more aware of the future console conscious of spoiling their children them to be
considerate of others to be social responsible individuals whole community would benefit parenting classes are
needed high quality nursery schools could be established support families in terms of raising the next
generation should fund this kind of parental support no longer a problem for individual families society as a
whole
Gap year
Encourage it to work or travel for a year between finishing high school and starting university studies quite
common to have a break from studying after graduating from high school Trent is not restricted to reach
students have the money to travel it's so evident among poor students choose to work become economically
independent for a period of time may involve the recognition young adult who passes directly from school to
University restricted in terms of general knowledge and experience of the world who have spent some time
earning a living or traveling other places have a broader view of life better personal resources draw on tend to
be more independent very important factor in academic study and research and advantage in terms of coping
with the challenges of student life however dangerous in taking time off at that important age may end up
never returning to their studies finding it too difficult to re-adapt to an academic environment may think it is
better to continue in a particular job to do something completely different from a university course I called to
make qualifications essential for getting a reasonable career should be encouraged to broaden their horizons
best way to get the clear perspective of what they are hoping to do such a perspective most effective motivated
ones taking a year of maybe the best way to gain this
Personalities
Characteristics more influence on our personality development than any experiences we have in life major
influence way we consider humanoidology mental development heavily influenced by the genetic sciences
understand the importance to inherited characteristics still unable to decide whether an individual's personality
or development are more influenced by genetic factors or by the environment nature or nurture skill relating to
identical events how significant inherited characteristics individuals life able to develop within the personality
of an individual depends on circumstances hello such a development experiences we have in life unpredictable
so powerful can boost or override other influences plenty of research findings to confirm no one major influence
in a person's life the traits we inherit from our parents the situation and experiences we encounter in life
constantly interacting interaction of two that shapes a person's personality dictates personality develops should
be able to predict the behavior character of a person either nature or nurture is the major influence both have
powerful effects these factors interact is still unknown remain largely unpredictable in a person's life
Sports stars
Successful people earn a great deal more money than other important professions fully justified as a result of
constant media attention support professionals have become stars and celebrities at the top are paid huge
salaries just like movie stars live extravagant lifestyle huge houses and cars people find their rewards on fear
when comparing super salaries with top surgeons or research scientists even leading positions have the
responsibility of governing the country however sports salaries are not determined reflect is a public support
successful stars can generate notion of fairness is not issue sports start salaries justified number of
professionals with real talent are very few money is a recognition of the skills dedication a person needs to be
successful competition is constant relatively short carrier pressure from the media is intense there is little
privacy out of the spotlight factors may justify the huge earnings amount of money sports starts make justified
then the huge earnings of movie stars indicates society places more value on sport than more essential
professions and achievements
 Changes
Prefer to spend their leaves doing the same thing avoiding change change is always a good thing the pace of
change in the life human beings has increased beyond our wildest expectations driving by technological and
scientific breakthroughs changing hallway we view the world almost daily basis change not always a personal
option but in its capital fact of life need to constantly adapt to keep pace achieve some security by doing the
same familiar things living in a denial resisting change themselves cannot stop the world around them from
changing familiar jobs no longer exist safe patterns of behavior are no longer appropriate reaching the
conclusion change is inevitable change is always for the better not always the case that new things promoted
good impacts for the majority of people Innovations make aim of making money the rich and powerful people in
our society able to impose changes such as in working conditions or property developments their own interests
change can be stimulating energizing for individuals they pursue it themselves all change imposed on people
not necessarily have good outcomes
Nature or nurture
People are born with certain talents sport or music child can be taught to become a good sports person or
musician relative importance of natural talent training is a frequent topic try to explain different levels of ability
education systems based on the belief that all children can affectively be taught to acquire different skills
associated with sport art or music from our own school experience find plenty of evidence to support child can
acquire these skills continued teaching guided practice innate talent differentiates person has been trained to
play a sport or an instrument more to the skill than I learned technique this extra talent cannot be taught no
matter how child practices people do have talents probably inherited via their genes can give individuals a
facility for certain skills allow them to excel more hard-working students never managed to reach a comparable
level all questions of nature versus nurture they are not mutually exclusive both good training and natural
talent can be succeeded without the natural talent continuous training would be neither attractive nor
productive without the training child would not learn how to exploit develop their talent child can be told
particular skills but really good in areas such as..../ some natural talent is required
Parents versus school
Parents should teach children to be good members of society school is the place to learn this child is education
never been about learning information and basic skills always included teaching the next generation to be good
members of society cannot be the responsibility of the parents alone individual must respect obey the rules of
their community shares their community shares their values educating children to understand obey rules and
respect others begins in the home is widely thought to be the responsibility of parents be the first to help is
parents are expected to behave what role is able to play in their world however learning to understand share
the value system of a holes society cannot be achieved just in home entering a wider community where teachers
and peers will have much influence children experience working living with people from a whole variety of
backgrounds why their society experience should teach them how to cooperate with each other how to
contribute to the life of their community valuable member of any community not like learning a simple skill
learning throughout life responsibility of every member of a society take responsibility for helping younger
generation to become active able members of the society
Petrol price
Increasing the price of petrol best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems traffic and pollution from
recycles become huge problems both in cities on motorways everywhere likely to need a simple rise in the price
of petrol private car use one of the main causes increase in traffic and pollution hire full costs unlikely limit the
number of drivers policy also affects the cost of public transport would be very unpopular with everyone who
needs to travel on the roads various other measures could be implemented to tackle the problem of pollution
cleaner fuels need to be developed technology is already available to produce electric cars would be both
quieter and cleaner to use persuading manufacturers and travelers adopt this new technology more effective
strategy for improving air quality in cities traffic congestion not solved by changing the type of private recycle
need to improve the choice of public transport services available to Travelers sufficient sky trainers
underground train systems were built effectively maintain it in major cities traffic on roads would be
dramatically reduced long distance train coach services made attractive affordable alternatives for long
journeys long-term traffic pollution reductions depend on educating the public to use public transport using
public money to construct and run efficiently
Foreign languages
Begin learning a foreign languages at primary school rather than secondary school traditionally studying
foreign languages at secondary school introducing them earlier is recommended some educationalists adopted
by some educational authorities individual schools both positive and negative outcomes young children pick up
languages much more easily than teenagers brain still programmed to acquire their mother tongue then
teenagers facilitated learning another language unlike adolescence not inhibited by self-consciousness greater
flexibility of the primary timetable allows more frequent shorter sessions for a play centered approach
maintaining learners and enthusiasm and progress command of the language benefit from this early exposure
learning other languages will be easier for them gain a better understanding of other cultures primary school
teachers generalists may not have the necessary language skills specialist to be brought into deliver these
sessions the flexibility diminished primary language teaching is not standardized secondary schools could be
faced with a great variety of levels in different languages within their intake resulting in a classroom experience
on undoes the earlier gains enthusiastic collegues primary pupils become demotivated change schools issues
can be addresses strategically policy adopted encourages language learning benefits society culturally
economically early exposure to language learning contributes to this young children innate abilities harnessed
to make these benefits more achievable
 Public health
Best way improve public health increasing the number of sports facilities would have little effect public health
other measures are required problem of modern societies declining level of health in the general population
conflicting views on how to tackle worrying trend solution provide more sports facilities in court and more
active lifestyle today's sedentary lifestyle stressful working conditions physical activity no longer part of our
work or leisure time easy to reach local sports could be offered for all ages levels of fitness and interest with
painful memories of PE at school might be happier swimming pool than other football pitch better ways of
tackling interest in sport not universal additional facilities simply attract the already fit physical activity could
be encouraged the relatively cheaply installing exercise equipment in parks parents and children often use just
for fun develops a positive attitude to exercise at any early age physical activity high tax penalties could be
imposed on high fat food products tobacco and alcohol and excessive consumption of any other contributes to
poor health improving public transport with health takes longer to walk to the bus stop then to the car focusing
on sports facilities to narrow and approach not have the desired results be people encouraged not only to be
more physically active also adopt a healthier lifestyle
Child punishment
Learn the difference between right and wrong punishment necessary learn this distinction should be allowed to
use to teach good behavior to children important stage in child's growth development of conscience link it to
the ability to tell right from wrong skill comes with time good parenting my firm conviction punishment not have
much of a role to play punish a very young child both wrong and foolish and infant will not understand what is
happening age of Reason is reached child can be rewarded for good behavior discarded from bat this kind of
firm approach will achieve more than harsh punishments might entail many negative consequences unintended
by the parents children learn the difference between right and wrong teachers and parents should firstly
provide good role modeling own behavior sanctions are needed punishment should not be of a physical nature
not acceptable for larger people to hit smaller ones result in the child starting to bully others not punish
children or to be cruel teachers parents can use the variety of methods to discipline such as detention
withdrawal of privileges time out making the punishment crime useful notion children being made to pick up
rubbish they have dropped clean up graffiti they have drawn apologize to someone they have hurt what is
responsibility is developed in the child leads to much better future behavior than punishment
Cultural homogeneity
Countries becoming more similar because people able to buy the same products countries are becoming similar
to each other global spread of the same products now available for purchase almost everywhere development
detrimental to culture traditions worldwide countries history language and ethos bound up its manufacturers
artifacts Relentless advance of international brands every corner of the world bland packages might completely
out the traditional objects of our nation would be a loss of richness and diversity in the world the sad
disappearance of the manifestations of a place character not forget that traditional products weather medicines
cosmetics toys closest utensils food provide employment for local people spread of multinational products often
bring it's wake a loss of jobs people turn to buying the new brand thinking it's more glamorous eventually puts
old school crafts people out of fork tourism numbers also be affected Travelers become disillusionated with
finding every place just the same see the same products in shops boring doesn't impel visitors to open their
wallets same way that trinkets or souvenirs unique to the particular area do people are entitled to have access
to the same products local objects sweet local conditions best faceless uniformity of worldwide is on a welcome
and dreary prospect
Recycling
Not enough of the waste from homes is recycled only way to increase recycling make it a legal requirement
laws are needed to make people recycle recycling waste materials help tackle the mountains of domestic
rubbish produced each year our depleting natural resources recycling programmes need full corporation of
residence to be effective whether only be achieved by imposing legal restrictions for too many recyclables
thrown away with the general waste as a result damage the environment address this problem need to consider
reasons behind people's reluctance to recycle possible issue may be the process itself requires us to clean
sword-based into different categories based on their material both time consuming confusing don't know
whether certain type of glass plastic or paper or recyclable or not naturally avoid task takes up too much time
main problem is confusion lack of time creating a law to govern this unlikely to succeed loss and fines generally
lead to resentment then cooperation recycling at home difficult to imagine how such a low could realistically be
enforce it find ways to simplify the recycling process indicate people about the benefits of recycling both for the
environment for society as a whole most effective ways increase recycling make the task simpler raise
awareness of the impact excessive amount of waste having on planet laws and fines should only be used as a
last resort been all approaches have failed
Recycling 2
Have sophisticated systems processes for recycling used materials many recyclables continue to be thrown
away with the general waste result growing rubbish dumps having a devastating effect on the environment
throwing paper plastics glass into the general waist losing the chance to extract precious raw materials can be
used again pressing problem solve as quickly as possible two-time consuming many educational programmes
they are confused about what can be recycled information overload confronted with everyday effectivate real
change in our behavior to implement new laws governing our domestic faith increasing our recycling levels
imperative waste is having on the planet our busy leaves mean that we are not paying enough attention to only
achieve success through new laws and regulations
Jobs and skills
 Far more important health practical skills theoretical knowledge job applicants any formal qualifications
practical skills important could be academic qualifications comes to getting a job unlikely academic
qualifications ever become unnecessary certain manual jobs such as cleaning and labouring formal
qualifications are less important employees in this industries more likely to employ people with a good working
knowledge of the job important for people to have a minimum level of education want to write about the lowest
working level without good writing and mathematical skills balance a budget or manage stuff can't be done
person make informed decisions which products to use or safety issue workplace highest level of qualifications
limited practical skills has a great deal to learn Dr without many years of practical experience training to
perform an essential operation students from all disciplines understand the entering the job market with a
degree in management does not automatically qualify them for a managerial role education is important in
teaching the theoretical side of any profession theoretical knowledge forms important basis for practical skills
other is dispensable when getting a job
Crime rates 1
Level of crime is increasing becoming more violent react to this problem by building prisons to contain the
criminals prove it so unsuccessful each year bigger and tougher prisons are needed we need to go back to the
basics of this problem access to possible causes increasing violence both on television in computer games
maybe responsible for making crimes more violent unrealistic to lay the blame for all criminal activity on the
media main cause problem increasing gap between the rich and the poor as well as increasing use of drugs
majority of crimes being committed by people who forced to take what they don't have bite people addicting to
drugs try to ensure more jobs are created so divide between rich and poor is reduced criminals need to be
trained rehabilitated they can enter the workforce providing employment addresses part of the problem little
success in the war against drugs continue to rise particularly in crowded and our populated areas effective way
to address this issue help to break the cycle by trying to ensure fewer young people enter a life of crime do this
through education by making sure that they are able to work
Crime rates 2
Prevent crime rates from rising criminal activity increasing concern around the world more money being spent
on the detection punishment of criminal activity reasons commit crime or countless drugs and alcohol social
problems and poverty play a major role so these problems focus on draconion punishments improve
employment opportunities invest in good housing projects tackle drug and alcohol abuse criminality is the use
sale and trafficking of narcotics control their business with extreme violence drug related crime doesn't end
there drug users often still to fund their habit resulting in further acts of petty crimes social problems
connected with the crime result of single parent families absent role models that living conditions children's
from broken families often become criminals because they feel alienated from society poverty also reason
behind crime and skilled jobs pay so little prices are so high it's easy to turn to crime for an income toughening
criminal laws introducing longer custodial sentences for persistent criminals best ways to deal with crime deal
with the social causes increasing employment opportunities poor areas improve living standards access to
affordable housing and education funding for drug and alcohol rehabilitation programmes would help reduce
dependency on the stimulants need for the criminal activity that surrounds them cracking down on offenders a
harsh penal system not only way can be solved through providing jobs and funding should raise the living
standards and dramatically reduce crime levels
The media
Controls the media controls opinions attitudes of the people rectify this media is controlled exclusively by large
companies governments has this control in a war situation one of the first casualties is the media say it by one
group or another give some support media is a source of power and control whoever controls the media has
ultimate control over what is published or broadcasted what is omitted add a certain prejudice biased to their
coverage of certain news stories depending on their own feelings not a new problem more pressing that
internet and pay TV have enabled these messages to be disseminated even further readers have their own ideas
and opinions can control what is printed cannot control the opinions of your readers only positive here is more
cynical about what they read and here on the television when it comes to tabloid press read knowing they may
be being lied to greater concern we have become so accepting of this form of censorship can be done to alter
the situation to regulate the industry so that there is no longer a monopoly on media ownership they have to lo
and support the totally free press may be criticized or ridiculed within its pages
Free education and healthcare
Founded by the government free for everyone healthcare and education both essential services can be
extremely expensive as a result on on affordable for limited budget important to establish who is responsible
for funding them the health of a country citizens is widely important without adequate health care people
become ill unable to earn a living or take care of themselves essential for to provide the equipment hospitals as
highly trained staff to run them need appropriate emergency services without the good public education system
people may limited in their work choices education is not provided free to all born into poverty may find
themselves unable to rise about that level essential services to be provided free of charge government needs to
obtain the funds some way of recouping the costs acquiring the necessary funds imposing taxes access to
welfare can be means-tested based on personal levels of income in democratic societies government is elected
based on its promises political party that promises tax cuts is elected to office poorer members of our society
need this type of aid these costs are covered at least need to accept that our taxes will be used to fund them
Obesity
Major global epidemic increasingly common problem obesity main causes of preventable death industrialised
countries Petco disease problem should reduce the impact of their overweight citizens careful use of taxation to
fund alternatives to a sedentary lifestyle take responsibility for their own health avoiding a bad diet taking the
initiative to participate in sport act quickly to curb obesity rising death rate rising costs in healthcare benefits
system left unchecked governments should heely tax junk food used the revenue generated to subsidise healthy
food and vegetables make healthy food cheaper more widely available than unhealthier options act by funding
laser centers sport clubs and gyms help people gain motivation to exercise become more active obesity is due
to lifestyle choice individual problem you should find their own motivation to prevent obesity by being aware of
the potentially fatal consequences of their lifestyle change their diabetes by switching from a carbohydrate
heavy diet to a balance of vitamins minerals joining us sports club need not always way to lose weight even
vigorous housework or he regarding can help effort heart disease individuals may be able to help themselves
changing their diets and activities require government intervention tackle obesity quickly on a large scale
Alternative energy
Natural power of the wind waves and sun too expensive complicated to replace the coal oil and gas used to
power our cities and transport alternative energy the answer to our reliance on fossil fuels sources of
alternative energy low emitters of CO2 a sustainable means of providing electric power critics of green energy
content current technologies are too costly or two impractical realistically replace our current energy needs
advantages of green energy office no need to worry about the dwindling supplies progressively more expensive
resources solar power never run out and once initial costs are paid off electricity is basically free sources of
energy have another major benefit in the shape of their low emissions emissions costs in the building of wind
turbines or hydroelectric power stations no further air pollution or the risk of on environmental contamination
the notion of a perfect world of free and non-polluting energy drug criticism solar power won't work at night
that doesn't every country has a coastline rivers or windy hills problem that replacing our current energy supply
will entail expensive research and development corporation the adaptation of green energy is nuclear power
many countries see the huge energy production from this power source more practical solution messing around
with the wind and waves little dot need to wean ourselves of fossil fuels alternative full source risk the costs
and the lives of green energy choose the productive potentially dangerous nuclear option
Tourism
Last 50 years having a mainly negative impact on local inhabitants the environment good for the economy
tourist destinations benefit from International tourism debatable issue local economic benefits are worth the
overcrowding hiked prices of the tourist season environmental and social costs other risks of relying on tourism
major source of annual income sleepy coastal communities can be changed beyond recognition by mass market
tourism package holiday companies operate huge numbers of low-cost flights high-rise hotels in developing
countries every summer servicing this seasonal influx the government sees increase tax revenue local
employment tourist season comes to an end employment ceases and area becomes a ghost town the social
cohesion of a small community blighted by the seasonal immigration look for work out of season living only
elderly behind made worse by second homeowners drive up house prices means of local inhabitants local
community do gain language skills other fringe benefits of cultural exchange large volume of Travelers every
year cause environmental problems to fragile habitats and historical sites age old stone remains can be worn
away traditional buildings demolished plant international hotels local infrastructure can also fail to cope with
large numbers of visitors leading to pollution and litter change as the economy improves tourism becomes more
of the established industry local government investment infrastructure should ensure repeat trade tourism can
be a good source of income for countries blessed with natural beauty or sites of historical interest governments
must ensure that wishes of local businesses are not put before the needs of the local community any revenue
generated by tourism reinvested in the area protect the local environment
Traffic congestion
Problematic in major cities be set by a similar problem traffic congestion key cities in most developing or
developed countries are tackling congested roads all the negative consequences ongoing issue one key solution
public transport not convenient and too expensive people still prefer to take their own cars rather than travel
by bus train or underground reducing the cost of public transport checking that it works smoothly answering
that buses link to key train stations around late enough each day and these people back onto public transport
systems entering transport has proper staffing have ticket inspectors stuff at stations people will feel safer
hello women traveling alone late at night is still feel secure another way to persuade people to leave their cars
is by increasing taxes on driving charging tax on parking and petrol could bring more revenue to fund better
roads support other types of transport higher road tax could find the cycling path within cities making travel by
private car more difficult only viable reliable and affordable alternatives are in place
Develop more park and ride schemes can park free at the edge of the city catch a bus into the center should be
more cycle paths available having better alternatives in place making them more attractive using private cars
maybe possible to reduce the increasing problems with traffic congestion modem cities face
Globalization and cities
Cosmopolitan cities all over the world and sure people can live together harmoniously today's Cosmopolitan
world unusual to find a major city no immigrants more now than they ever did in the past positions have had to
adapt to this transitional lifestyle ultimately society directs the way new arrivals in a country are treated can do
a number of things to support this insist that school teach history culture from more than one country not just
the home nation by learning how others lived gain insight into alternative cultures ways of life makes us more
accepting other countries people don't have time to learn about the history of every country understanding at
least one other culture opens our mind and makes us more tolerant immigrants choose to settle in a country the
host government offer free language culture lessons impossible for new arrivals to integrate not understand the
language habits of their new home important for immigrants to learn the culture of the place by acquiring the
language knowledge about the culture be able to integrate more easily and comfortably without necessarily
losing their own identity have some stringent laws to protect people from aggression or prejudice immigrant
face terrible attitudes they have some protection people feel safe as the host country shows its civilized it
promotes integration understanding others key to harmonious living laws should be also protect people who
cannot behave responsibly

Technology as a study tool
Technology invaluable study tool for young people harmful for the studying process technology key to success
for young students it has a negative impact I think technology is a positive force for young as they study role
played by technology studying process for the young important setting is now much more efficient and
convenient recent advances mobile technology information can accessed at any time anywhere reducing the
effort students devote researching for essay and studies young people's studies is not insignificant improving
the way young people deal with knowledge as they study technology is in effect harming the thinking process
students thinking being done by laptops and tablets result unable to analyze use the information they
encounter can damage their education technology is useful improving their study process lo is young people to
manipulate the vast amounts of knowledge they encounter via the internet and in libraries without technology
preparing for exams and studying would be both impractical because not be able to look at process and
examine the best amounts of information at their fingertips technology on young people studies is seen as both
positive and negative on balance it's valuable to
Worsened environment
Urban environments unhealthy then they ever have been much less healthy for their inhabitants compared to
the past direct result of several factors approach exist greater population density combined with increased
traffic causes pollution like air and noise as well as stress countries worldwide not just in Europe becoming more
urbanized as people move to cities entertainment and education facilities available in cities greater work
opportunities city Life less wholesome both physically and mentally done for previous generations city
environments healthier urban areas can be made greener by introducing more green spaces only micro gardens
with a few trees shrubs and seats lead to both cleaner air reduced stress also be addressed by public and
private building made greener with the creation of roof gardens for people to relax in having transport systems
efficient cheap comfortable another way of ensuring that cities are healthy places and has the quality of city
Life by reducing air pollution stress on the road as people are drawn to using the transport system attractive
buildings integrate work living conditions and facilities like leisure health and education set in attractive open
spaces lead to improvements in health of the urban environment root causes can be tackled with several simple
strategies
Experience versus knowledge
Experience value it workplace than knowledge many countries experience knowledge both crucial in modern
work environment personally focus on the former much more beneficial in modern knowledge-based economy
importance of knowledge cannot be underestimated employees need qualifications knowledge of skills
numeracy and literacy knowledge of how systems such as computer systems work professionals such as
engineers teachers or doctors to be successful in their career they need knowledge as well as experience
certain types of knowledge can be acquired during work experience body of knowledge such as medical and
engineering information acquired beforehand knowledge is effectively controlled by machines essential for
workers to focus on developing the skills to manipulate this knowledge so voluminous impossible to acquire
knowledge plays a secondary role to skills and experience attaching greater value to experience compared to
knowledge workplace world demands employees with various sophisticated skills not just in technology dealing
with modern systems workers technical expertise takes precedence over basic knowledge without workers with
the necessary experience impossible for companies and organizations to flourish knowing being very important
in the modern workplace greater emphasis on experience
Old buildings versus new buildings
Important to construct new buildings rather than wasting money on maintaining old ones skylines of cities
around the world changing rapidly as more modern building are being constructed replacing all their buildings
require more money to renovate and maintain preserving older buildings is often a waste of money for various
reasons worthwhile keeping certain old buildings many castles and mansions around the world greet historical
interest they deserve to be preserved in some cases old buildings often overrated many new buildings are
undervalued money being spent on improving them many old buildings should have been demolished not fit for
purpose people like them for nostalgic reasons they are evocative of another era they are in many instances not
very practical to work or live in new buildings are generally cheaper built and maintain than keeping old
buildings costs involved difficult to find correct materials for renovation it's time consuming to modernize at
same time keeping the original features Madame construction methods use a lot of glass still other than old
facial materials such as brakes modern skylines and cities doha in Qatar Shanghai and New York impressive and
beautiful don't have Madame buildings melancholic not as dazzling construction of modern buildings worthwhile
than maintaining older ones lack of such soft skills as communication and working in teams has grown
development result of various factors have a negative impact on both employees and employers deficiency in
soft skills caused by various factors such as current emphasis on computer-based work
Soft skills
Employees lack soft skills such as communication and working in team lack of such skills lack of thought soft
skills as communication and working in teams has grown have a negative impact on both employees and
employers deficiency in soft skills caused by various factors the current emphasis on computer-based work
automation as a consequence a lack of socialization take the impact of working electronically lead to a decline in
the experience of dealing with colleagues face on a daily basis workers are less able to communicate effectively
with their fellow workers their managers applicable the public automation perspective many business process
dealing with the public have increased the distance between people have further lead to decline in overall
socialization have a direct impact both on the employees and businesses and the public perspective of the
employee affect can be both psychological and financial bank worker for instance become the satisfied to visit
their work they are efficiency may decline can lead to a lack of promotion or bonuses leading to further
dissatisfaction employers perspective situation is not healthy can affect prophets ultimately the viability of the
organization consequences also felt by the general public faced with the reduction in the quality of service
various reasons lack of soft skills like communication team working among modern employees have a huge
impact on people in the workplace
Technology in arts
Influencing modern art design painting film advances in technology being keenly felt in modern art in fields like
design painting and film it's beneficial for those studying working in these areas criticism leveled use of
technology they skilled workers with computer painting and designing including on tablets students losing basic
skills in producing objects by hand children are losing the ability even to hold implements like pants and
brushes to coordinate their action to plan to think through the basic process practicing something same applies
to workers valid criticism increasing use of technology is huge computer software such as 3D printing
supplements the skills of the students workers in design paint and films technology doesn't replace people
additional to like any other effect technology having on the fields seen in a positive light adapted to the
available technology to improve their work for the benefit of society latest technology now allows efficient car
design and mechanics as in hybrid cars artists and filmmakers can you use computers to create more
entertaining interactive artworks films with computer generated imaginary public benefit increasing role of
technology in modern arts just design painting and film increasing influence is a positive development
Business responsibility
Making money for their investors held accountable for the environmental and social costs of their business
activity to society as a whole Doom no more than concentrate on making profit strictly capitalist point of view
companies exist simply make profits businesses that focus on the aim regardless of social or environmental
consequences approach to business not only a responsible but maybe self defeating who continuously ignores
such factors maybe harming their profits a business point of view public awareness of green issues all-time high
famous seen as working hard to restrict pollution encourage recycling favorable by consumers being
environmentally friendly not only better for the planet could also give companies advantage over competitors
incentives for companies to lessen their environmental impact introduction of carbon credits famous can protect
their environment receive tax credits in return economic rewards to being environmentally friendly disregard
public opinion engaging social irresponsible practices great risk subject to strikes boycotts of their products
famous provoked negative social reactions may eventually be banned from trading certain marks businesses
work hard to maintain the public trust likely to experience increased sales leading to more revenue businesses
not be blinded by profits need to remember subject to the will of the public on issues environment and their
social stance want to succeed factors should not be ignored properly managed even help boost the revenues
Science versus computer technology
Studying science at school University computer based subjects instead become evident has been a shift among
secondary and University students away from traditional sciences towards it based subjects rise on popularity
of it and similar computer-based subjects pervasive computer technology within society dependent on devices
internet become world's main industries media is full of stories of tech startups how made their founders
inventors into millionaires even billionaires easy to see why young people would be attracted to the industry
field of study safer better than a carrier in science typically requires a longer term commitment at least at first
glance list rewards in terms of salary social prestiges academia and society as a whole depend on sustainable
stream of talented scientists pushing the boundaries of what is possible who develop our medicines design our
cars improve our manufacturing process invent new materials the list is endless their work is vital for
maintaining improving the quality of life that we enjoy fall in the number of students taking science fell in the
number of talented people valuable work move to towards computer-based subjects carriers understandable
importance of the computing industry at the expense of having new scientists and engineers also potentially
very detrimental without scientific innovation world will be very different place
Budget for healthcare
Population is aging rapidly leading to unsustainable increase in the cost of public health care Nations
population should pay for their health care provision advances in medical science resulting in the prolonged
lifespans knock on effect for public health services many hospitals struggling to cope with an aging population
enjoy the benefits of free subsidized national public health services and some within senior health management
provision become unsustainable changes need to be made in reflect this changing reality notion that healthcare
should be free care is predominantly funded by the taxpayer established that almost 45 percentage of the
nation's tax spending is distributed to healthcare some 80% of that reserve it for treating the elderly
disproportionate amount of money has greetedly increased the burden on the state existing funding is no
longer sufficient to meet these needs impacts on the standard of care can be provided by numerous negative
media reports conditions for both staff and patients quality health care financial burden needs to be alleviated
increase the contributions made by citizens increase taxation could encourage people can afford to take a
private health care arrangements switching to a private model well of can afford a higher quality of care same
relieving pressure on public services do not have the means to go private aging population has increased
pressure on existing health provision maintain the standards of healthcare more funding needs to be found
through taxation or alternative forms of provision standard civil fall people's lives will be put at risk
Aging population
 Life expectancy is increasing medical care over the past century improved dramatically consequence living long
into old age having a harmful effect on societies across globe issue than aging population can create enormous
demands on a nation's health services live longer into their old age chances of them suffering from serious
illnesses increases likelihood of them requiring medical treatment becomes higher becomes more difficult to
provide care for everyone living longer doesn't necessarily bring happiness older people is unable to do many of
the activities leading to the likelihood of depression deterioration in their physical health living longer young
people can benefit for a longer time from the wisdom handed down to them by older members fast paced world
comforting to seek advice from older generations physical health of grandparent almost irrelevant as the
children and grandchildren benefit from the experience of an older mind retired people generally much healthier
than they have ever been enjoyed their their lives more then they did when they were young the best of both
worlds a family that can care a better health than any time in human history weighing up both sides number of
problems that old age brings predominantly health-related the benefits it brings to the family unit society as a
whole impossible to ignore]
Salary and job satisfaction
Choosing any carrier job is having a high income they are daily working leaves they are dream jobs prioritize
becoming a higher earner other concerns people need stimulation their daily working leaves feel a sense of
reward can go through an entire career staying in a position industry find a boring purely for the financial
incentive see they're working Life as a search for fulfillment and contentment in helping others rather than I
have a search for Wells unlikely priority every nurse or teacher in the world become well of job such as rarely
extremely well paid families to support always prioritize earning a high income securing their children's future
vital to earn more than therefore save money job market increasingly unstable across the globe good salary
should necessarily be the number one concern become preoccupied with the next pay rise or carrier move
eventually become unhappy or even depressed neither of it helps them to save or provide for their family
earning as much as humanly possible anyone's main concern brings financial stability for individuals simply not
worse tolerating a lifetime of unhappiness at work purely for the money
Dependency on technology
Dependent on computer based technology change future relies so much on computers difficult to imagine life
without computers they are used potential have grown incredible rate growth will continue more innovative
ways developed computers enables us to do a wealth of tasks have been unthinkable for previous generations
can Bank online book holidays do our weekly shopping the list of labor saving activities is almost endless given
the speed at which they have evolved altered the way we do things evolutionary Trent will continue the rise of
virtual reality do amazing things with it computer based technology it's infancy many practical applications
improving gaming to providing training for doctors or pilots to handle a real life situations computer processing
power increases it's potential to enhance everything dangerous in relying quite heavily computers daily lives is
controlled by them without saying modern Life would be impossible computers store all our important data the
risk of hacking exposes us to crime such as fraud technological advances made possible by computers have
improved our world many ways negative aspects of computers are outdated all benefits they have brought
probably become more dependent on computers that our lives will improve as technology improves negative
side to such a dependency more positives we can focus on
Preserving cultures
People have no interest in maintaining the traditional culture of their country or region still important to
people we preserve a traditional way of life globalized world development of global culture expense of local
traditions certainly show in difference to local customs in favor of embracing global ideas value in maintaining
them strongly influenced by the effects of globalization technology seems to dominate the leisure time of young
people gadgets or the internet as a result trans switch can be described global in all aspects of culture prefer
listening to music by Ed Sheeran or Beyonce rather than the traditional music of their country seen as all the
dated by comparison many rather try exotic foreign foods than use traditional receipts might see as dull or old
fashioned mistake everyone thinks this way older people feel nostalgia how things used to be done UK the royal
family popular as ever remember that any of today's global pop stars inspired by more traditional generous of
