Moreover , capital punishment curbs the inspiration and prospects of other hateful crimes . When a criminal mind knows the quantum of punishment , they will fear and not commit such crimes . Thus , the rate of crime and violence is effectively decreased .
| 0 |
Importantly , capital punishment saves a lot of government funding which is wasted in maintenance of these hardcore criminals . Criminals who don ' t have any chance of improvement or who have a past record of such crimes are , therefore , given capital punishment .

However , the jury giving the verdict are also humans . They have the life of a person at their discretion . They can make mistakes which can sometimes affect an innocent , circumstantially marred criminals . The jury must therefore , take into account the circumstances of committing a crime . For example , if an individual murders someone for self-defense , then such a crime is not heinous . Only deserving criminals , who commit such hateful crimes in their proper senses are subjected to capital punishment .

However , there are also disadvantages . A break can disturb the focus of students and prove detrimental . When students work during these breaks , the feel of money gives them an illusion that such salary is enough for them and they go in a utopia . For instance , my cousin started working in a customer care centre after high school and got distracted . When he started his university studies , he failed miserably . Students can also indulge in smoking or drinking during this time . But , the break should be an optional thing . It varies from individual to individual , how they utilize that period . A break gives students more benefits than harms .

In the modern world , computers are used everywhere . Right from flying planes to sending a small document , computers are needed . They are used in space programs , wars , hospitals , schools and so on . Computers have made human life more easy , convenient and lightning fast . For example , in earlier days , if one had to send a message to someone in other country , it used to take months . But today , it can be sent in few minutes by typing a email and few clicks . Computers provide speed , increase efficiency , accuracy , precision , help to increase productivity and other countless benefits are provided by it .
| 0 |
Moreover , future prospects of computers are very bright . From a computer as big as a room , it has now been minimized to the size of a palm . Nanotechnology is working to make computers to the order of microscopic levels . Research on making computerized drone soldiers ( unmanned computer controlled ) is going on . There is no end to the evolution of computers .

Right to education is a basic human right of both , males and females . The whole world aims for women empowerment , and to achieve this , females should be given equal opportunities as males . When universities will accept them in equal number , both genders will be able to nurture their talent and a healthy competitive environment will develop .
| 0 |
Co-education helps both genders to gel well with each other . It helps them how to behave and cooperate and work together . For example , students studying in boy ' s colleges do not generally know how to talk to a female or behave in front of them . On the other hand , females studying in girl ' s colleges are too shy to face boys . Co-education will help to eradicate this kind of demerit in both . Universities giving both genders equal opportunities , will prepare them for future challenges and will help in the long run .

The first and foremost reason is that with the development of science and technology , more advanced kitchen facilities , such as the modern microwaves or the advanced pressure cookers , have been created and invented to help people prepare and cook food in a very short time . As a result , people nowadays just spend one hour to prepare a meal instead of two , even three hours like in the last 10 years . Actually , in recent years , there was a significant increase in the number of people from all walks of life realizing this valuable benefit of those technologies in doing their housework . And this figure still continuously go up along with the improvement of science and technology . Thus , it is certain that spending less time on cooking will be the main trend in near future .
| 0 |
Another reason is that most of young people prefer to have meals at restaurants because they want to invest more time in their work or study to improve themselves . According to a recent survey , 89% of people have come to think that , since they have been put in the situation which is filled with competitions and pressures , they have to use a lot of time to work hard , to update themselves , to acquire all kinds of skills and so on . Thus , they find hard to have time to prepare and cook a meal . Even they have some spare time , they prefer to go out with friends to relax and relieve the pressure from work and study .

Some people may argue that investing much time in cooking food will guarantee nutrition as well as quality of food for their family . To some extent , it is true . However , as a matter of fact , using technology or advanced facilities do not make food lose its nutrition and quality . Even , with the help of ozone machines , bacterias , mold spores , or pesticide in vegetables , fruits and foods will be killed and removed , thus health and life of eaters is assured . Besides , along with the high living standard , requirements of quality products in almost restaurants , nowadays , are under severe control and supervision by appropriate authorities . Consequently , it is quite easy to have a nutritious meal with guaranteed quality , but do not waste a lot of time .

It is true that modern games may be , to some extent , beneficial for children to foster some skills , such as computer skills or the capacity to keep up with the latest trend . This is because children have to be proficient at computers and the Internet if they want to join online games , which , in fact , helps children acquire a particularly powerful skill at work in future . At the same time , children have the chance to experience the state-of-the-art technology , raising their awareness of innovation rather than stay conservative .
| 0 |
Furthermore , it is the educational functions traditional games hold that keep them alive today . In fact , these traditional games were elaborately devised by educators and have been proven effective in improving children ' s skills on different aspects in previous teaching practices . By contrast , modern games are developed by game companies for the purpose of profits . Therefore , there is a risk that children may be exposed to unhealthy contents , such as violence or pornography , arranged in the games by such companies to secure financial survival .

Taking care of thousands of citizens who suffer from disease or illiteracy is more urgent and pragmatic than building theaters or sports stadiums . As a matter of fact , an uneducated person may barely appreciate musicals , whereas a physical damaged person , resulting from the lack of medical treatment , may no longer participate in any sports games . Therefore , providing education and medical care is more essential and prioritized to the government .
| 0 |
Entertaining facilities such as cinemas , theaters and sports stadiums are mostly profit-oriented . Their existences are based on their marketing strategies , the condition of facilities and the volume of audience . The competition among each of these facilities is an inevitable part of the free market , which should not be interfered by government . Instead , the establishment of medical facilities or educational institutes is aimed to improve the health or education standard rather than earning profits , which deserves more funds from government .
| 0 |
Furthermore , putting taxpayers ' money on building theaters or sports stadiums is unfair to those who cannot use them . For example , not everyone is a fan of watching musicals on the spot . Therefore , it is a bit inappropriate to use the majority of citizens ' tax funds to meet a minority of people ' s needs . That is the reason why sectors such as medical care and education deserve more governmental support , because they are accessed by every individual in our society on a daily basis .

Additionally , technology enriches the way of displaying traditional cultural heritage , making it more vivid and appealing . For example , China has successfully promoted traditional techniques in the Shanghai World Expo , using a variety of state-of-the-art technological methods , such as robots and LED screens . In fact , many tourists around the world marveled at the perfect synthesis of the modern technology and the traditional culture .

"Let ' s then take a look at the impact that art has posed on individuals . It is undeniable that some of the art work may contain negative implications such as insanity , violence , eroticism etc . I absolutely agree that restrictions on exposure to adolescents should apply as adolescents are not mature enough to avoid being led astray by these contents ; however , in the case of adults being the audience , there ' s really nothing to hide - these negative things objectively exist on this planet and it is impossible for adults to be brain-washed only because of some pieces of creative art . "
| 0 |
Obviously , violence in the media is often portrayed as extreme as possible in order to attract audiences . This will definitely set a bad example for the immature audiences who , lacking correct parental guidance and abilities to differentiate the right from wrong , are prone to go astray by imitating the violent behaviors and committing real violent crimes as they regard the violence as reasonable and justifiable .

"To start with , the fairness between males and females is inevitable in such a developed society . Gone are the days when women could do nothing rather than stick to boring house work and take care of children . Women nowadays are much more active , they may be successful businessmen , they join the political world , they become scientists and so on . This is to say , the "" weaker "" gender as often be thought has enough right as well as ability to contribute to the development of human beings just like any other men , not to mention they even perform better in some fields . "

In the second place , the revolution in females ' right has brought about many benefits not only to themselves but society as well . The financial burden of families , for instance , has decreased significantly with both the wives and the husbands working to earn money . What is more , women have the outstanding instinct to take up some careers like healthcare or human resource management due to their patience and elaboration .
| 0 |
Admittedly , such changes do lead to some negative results like an upward trend in divorce rate or , under many circumstances , women find it difficult to balance their work and their traditional role as the wives . Also , children might enjoy less care from parents as they are both busy with their work . Yet everything has it upside and downside , women should find the best way to overcome such challenges .

As illustrated before , several other solutions can be introduced to assist in reducing pollution and traffic problems . Primarily , authorities should spare no efforts in improving public transportation facilities , such as constructing more bus lines , in order to reducing the usage of private cars . Furthermore , temporarily targets should be set , with regard to the limitations of pollutants in a certain period of time , for example , a season . Plus with supervisory institutions built to find and address problems . Meanwhile , cultivating a sense of environmental protection would also work out , though it might not be into effect immediately , but in the long run , it would be a wise choice .

First , it is unfair to restrict those public service advertisements which are creative and inspiring . In fact , they are not in the purpose of making profits but taking a role of disseminating valued culture , good moral traits and calling for helps for the disabled and the poor .
| 0 |
Besides , it is obvious that publicizing brand image or a particular product of mass media could boost sales for companies . In a larger sense , it could simulate household spending and therefore promote the economic development of the whole country . A recent study shows that after launching an advertising campaign , the sales revenue would increase by 40% , which is the very fact to verify its positive influences on economic .
| 0 |
That is not to say , however , that advertisements have no downsides . Of course , the advertising expenses lead to a higher product price and some of them express fake information , creating information asymmetry between consumers and companies . Yet , its merits still outweigh these downsides .

It is not surprised that exercise play a crucial role in ameliorating physical health . Any kinds of sports , such as jogging , swimming , or playing basketball , can effectively facilitate human respiration and circulation system . Moreover , these sports can also strengthen muscles and lessen surplus adipose tissues in human body . The latter one is of particular importance because nowadays more and more people are suffer from obesity . Many studies has points out that numbers of overweight people have increased in developed countries in recent years , which mainly results from insufficient exercises .
| 0 |
Sports activities can improve mental health as well . When people exercise , the neuron cells in the brain release a chemical compound named Dopamine . This hormone can delight one ' s mind , creating positive feelings . Thus good exercises can often successfully alleviating one ' s heavy burdens . Moreover , rigorous exercise can also hone one ' s will , which enable people to be able to tackle stringent problems and arduous tasks .

Firstly , pictures can influence the way people think . For example , nowadays horrendous images are displayed on the cigarette boxes to illustrate the consequences of smoking . As a result , statistics show a slight reduction in the number of smokers , indicating that they realize the effects of the negative habit . Not only that , the magnificent photograph captured by Kevin Carter , which portrayed a starving Sudanese child struck by extreme poverty has successfully highlighted the plight faced by the citizens in Sudan . Apart from that , images are also widely used in newspapers , magazines and advertisements . Thus , it is undeniable that images in the absence of words can obviously claim the attraction of many .
| 1 |
Looking from another perspective , written words are also vital in order to spread across certain messages . With only pictures , everyone is left to their own interpretation on how they perceive the images . Nonetheless , this is different when words are used to explain what the illustration is about . Furthermore , the primary way of educating students is also by this way . Academic textbooks these days are laden with words besides pictures to guide the readers to comprehend better .

On the other hand , there are some drawbacks from saving minority languages . Although governments invest money on doing that , it is hard to gain the good results . As evidence of this , there are a few people , particularly the youngsters , do not pay attention on collecting and studying those . These kinds of languages are usually difficult and unpopular . In addition , the preservations need a long time to gather , restore all information as well as train in the educational centre . If they do not try their best , their protection can be halted and waste of money .

Art is not the key determination of quality of life , but education is . In order to make people better off , it is more urgent for governments to commit money to some fundamental help such as setting more scholarships in education section for all citizens . This is simply because knowledge and wisdom is the guarantee of the enhancement of the quality of people ' s lives for a well-rounded social system .
| 0 |
Admittedly , art , to some extent , serve a valuable function about enriching one ' s daily lives , for example , it could bring release one ' s heavy burden of study pressure and refresh human bodies through a hard day from work . However , it is unrealistic to pursuit of this high standard of life in many developing countries , in which the basic housing supply has still been a huge problem with plenty of lower income family have squeezed in a small tight room . By comparison to these issues , the pursuit of art seems unimportant at all .

Some people argue that it is the government that should be obligated to fund the health care and education for citizens . This is because citizens enjoy the right to live in a harmonious and stable environment , which should be enabled by the government , the leader of the society . If citizens had no access to health care and education , their physical health and psychological soundness would be at risk . As a result , such people might fail to get cured in time , thus influencing their working efficiency , which would destabilize the production of the industry . Also , without sufficient guidance of teachers , these citizens might misbehave or even commit crimes , posing a threat to other citizens ' security . Therefore , the government should be accountable for citizens ' health care and education to keep society safe and stable .

Additionally , zoos afford a platform to education teenagers , helping to establish eco-friendly behavior towards animals . In the zoos , even though wild animals are caged , they have capability to walk in a limited area . When children pay a visit to the zoos , they still could observe the eating behavior or leisure activities among animals , which would definitely enrich their knowledge associated with different animals . Further , children could acquire the information regarding how to protect wild animals according to guided tour or volunteers .
| 0 |
On the other hand , complained about the drawbacks of zoos are often heard . It is true that some zoos are lack of systematic management which attributes to numerous wild animals die because of food shortage . Also , being caged in the zoos for long render wildlife lost the ability to survive in nature where is full of cruel competition among various animals .

Admittedly , some countries may place economic developments ahead of environmental protection , thus ruining the local environments . As these needy countries lack adequate financial and human resources , advanced technologies and experience , they have to rely on natural resources to maintain their living standards . Besides , people in the poverty-stricken areas are not likely to be equipped with knowledge to preserve the ecosystems . As a result , unchecked and reckless uses of the local raw materials may happen , which can put a strain on the natural resources . In this view , the economic development and environmental protection can be conflicting .
| 0 |
However , I believe the booming economy can be closely linked to the preservation of the environment . With people raising their awareness of the green economy , the products free of pollutants are increasingly prevalent among clients , which means eco-friendly businesses can make a favorable impression on customers today , triggering sales . For example , electronic bicycles powered by clean energy resources have been well received among people in recent years .

Furthermore , taking environmental consequences seriously can enhance working efficiencies . If a firm is environmentally conscious , it may have to make optimal use of its resources to improve its production lines and equipment , which can boost productivity . Therefore , it may spur its economic development . On the other hand , without the requirement of environmental preservation , the firm would still consume a vast amount of energy which constitutes a large part of its operational costs , being a hurdle to the economic development .

On the other hand , I believe arts should by no means been disregarded by the government . Individually , arts can enrich people ' s cultural lives . Currently , people are increasingly occupied with their work and studies due to the stiff competition . Consequently , they require various entertainment such as music , movies or books to them ease their minds and release pressure . Without arts , people would be at risk of suffering psychological problems .
| 0 |
From the point of the local community , funding arts is beneficial to the local cultural and economic development . Cultural heritage constitutes an essential part of arts . This means preserving local arts may promote the preservation of the local cultural heritage , which not only helps the local people have a sense of belonging but also contributes to the booming local tourism industry . In this view , arts serve cultural and economic purposes .

First , critics of zoology argue that keeping animals in captivity is wrong because animals should be considered non-human persons and they should have the right of having freedom . This is so unfair for them to be taken out of their natural environment and to be kept in small enclosures . That is because , many zoos , especially the ones in developing countries , do not provide care and attention which their animals require . The animals are often undernourished and do not have sufficient quality and quantity of medical treatment . In addition , sometimes animals from hot countries have to survive in the cold winter of somewhere in Europe .
| 0 |
On the other hand , the advocators believe that zoos provide the public with good entertainment and also help to ensure the balance of the ecology . Many people , especially young children enjoy going to zoos and see their favorite animals , cute baby-born animals and the animals that are from the different corners of the world . Zoos provide educational information about the lives of different animals to the public . Also , zoos play an important role in reserving many breeds of animal and preventing them from being missing from life . This is due to the fact that , in zoos , animals are kept in enclosures which simulate their own habitats and also endangered animals are being protected from their predators or hunters . Thus zoos are needed to keep the nature balanced .

First and foremost , if there is control over artists ' ideas , they will definitely lose their sense of creativity in the long run . It is undeniable that when they are given the opportunity to express themselves , most artists will think out of the box and come up with spectacular Arts such as paintings or movies . For example , paintings by Da Vinci and Michallengo are admired even till now as they were not restricted during those times . In short , without any limitations , there will be more awe inspiring work from our artists .
| 1 |
Furthermore , it is every human ' s right to be able to voice out their opinions in any ways as long as they do not cause any problems to the nation . Today , many countries make numerous efforts to show that they are democratic countries . Arts is one of the ways that can be used to criticise social problems and government policies in a particular country . To illustrate this further , the famous movie ' 3 Idiots ' acted by Amir Khan criticises the education system which is chiefly based on memorising and not being able to apply whatever the students learn . Thus , human rights is violated if artists are not allowed to express their feelings freely .

First , it is generally understood that advertising is carried out with the main purpose of promoting different products and services or encouraging people to consume more . Advertisements are , therefore , very important for many businesses to increase sales and hence profits . Also , to consumers , advertising can bring them many benefits . For example , customers of telecommunication services will have an idea about the current offers of different companies and hence they can compare them and then have a better decision in choosing their internet or mobile phone plans . From all of these , it is easy to see why the idea that advertising is a positive part of life will garner strong support .

First and foremost reason is that pursuit of nuclear technology one way or the other leads towards atomic weapons . Last century has witnessed the horrors of such weapons . If each country pursues the fusion and fission process some of them may try to mold it for military usage .
| 0 |
Another reason to fortify my opinion is that even civil usages of atomic power pose a dire threat of radio activity . For example recently there has been an incident in which an atomic power house leaked tons of radio active material into air when an earthquake hit the surrounding area . This unfortunate event proves that no matter how much careful we are such accidents are inevitable .

In a positive point of view , when people without jobs have hand phones that have access to the Internet , they will be able to browse the net for more job opportunities . For example , they can surf the The Star Onlines ' work section to find a job that is suitable for them . With the help of the net , they can also do more research on the work that they have found apart from looking up on how they can prepare themselves for the job . Not only that , the mobile phones can also be used to make calls with the companies in which they would like to work with . In short , if the government provides those without work with a mobile phone , they will be able to find themselves an occupation in order to live and survive .
| 0 |
Nonetheless , looking from another perspective , supplying hand phones to the unemployed is a waste of the taxpayers ' money . This is because the money instead of being used to supply the electronic gadget can be used for other useful purposes for the country . To illustrate this further , the money can be used to build more amenities for the public or given to the poor so that they can use it to help them earn a living . To conclude , the money can be used for other intentions rather than giving hand phones to the unemployed .
| 0 |
Furthermore , when hand phones are provided for free , many would want to take advantage of this opportunity . It will not be surprising that in order to obtain a mobile phone , they make themselves jobless . Some might even go to the extent of lying that they are on unemployment to make them eligible to get the phones . In this context , the public ' s money is spent worthlessly . On top of that , till now , there are no surveys or evidences that prove this method in effective in reducing the rate of unemployment .

Firstly , by having CCTV cameras at workplace , crimes such as robbery can be trimmed down . This is because when a shop is attacked by thieves , the clips taken by these cameras serve as a source of evidence to help the thieves to be traced . To illustrate this further , in Malaysia , policemen used the videos captured by the CCTV cameras to trace and successfully catch a group of robbers who broke into a Seven Eleven shop during the midnight . Not only that , as the employees know that they are under constant surveillance , they will less likely steal from the shops . Thus , it is clear that CCTVs must be put in all workplace so that crime rates can be minimized .

To begin with , it is undeniable that education is better in big cities in comparison with countrysides . For instance , in my country the best schools , universities and institutes are located in cities , and todays education is one of the most important parts of our children ' s life . Therefore , it is a good idea for children to past their first earlier life in the cities .
| 1 |
What is more , it is acknowledged that a large number of creational facilities are built in cities . Children who live in cities have a lot of entertainment . For example playgrounds , parks , science museums , cinemas etc . However , in countrysides we hardly ever see creational facilities . Children who live in countrysides most of the time pass their free time in farms .
| 0 |
Finally , in big cities children access to media easily , so they can learn a lot of things by watching television and surfing through the net . Via internet they can have connection with the other children all around the world , therefor they can exchange their knowledge , they can learn different cultures .
| 0 |
Finally , there are some authorities in privat jobs that workers are always looking for them while they are working for the others . When you work for yourself you can punch in and punch out whenever you want . Sometimes some occasions happen to people for example a disease , sticking in a traffic jam and sometime going on a vacation . For all of them we have to ask for a permission , and most of the time we are not allowed .
| 0 |
First of all , when people face with a failure they can learn a large number of things from that failure , therefore in the next effort they try to avoid doing and repeating that mistakes . For instance , most of inventors in the first phases of their job face with some problems and defeats , but in the next stages they learn how to deal with problems .

Firstly , day by day population is increasing , so human needs for food is increasing as well . We need farmland to grow crops such as wheat and corn , and there is no doubt that without food people cannot alive for more than some weeks . Therefore , farmlands are vital for human life .
| 0 |
Secondly , people need shelters to protect themselves from mother nature such as wind and flood and wild animals , so they need land to build their houses on it . Dwelling is one of the most important human needs after food which is undeniable .
| 0 |
Finally , human need some crucial things to continue their life , and most of them are industrial such as medicine . Therefore , some lands should be assigned to industry . Todays life has some difficulty which become comfortable with the help of industry .

It is especially true if we consider the fact that a single international language plays a pivotal role in global economic cooperation . As businessmen from different countries have access to the same language , they can communicate with each other more efficiently and deeply on trade , which can intensify the transnational cooperation . In contrast , without the availability of the same language , there might be a chance that misunderstanding and conflicts would ensue over business negotiations , impeding collaborations between them . Therefore , a single international language serves an economic purpose .
| 0 |
In spite of this , the disadvantages of the promotion of a universal language cannot be denied . To be more specific , a single international language may , to some extent , erode the cultural identity of a nation . This is because people may be impressed by the cultural values brought with the universal language , eroding a sense of national belong . For instance , some Asians are seeking individualism , previously denied by many Asian countries , due to the fact that they have gradually identified with such values expressed in American movies , which are imported by the governments as a result of the proliferation of English .

Despite this , it is undeniable that following fashion trends constantly may undermine individuals ' personalities . Individuals purchase their clothes according to the latest fashion trends , which may result in the phenomenon that people would wear the same style of clothes . Consequently , the world would look monotonous .

In terms of ethics , it is inhumane to watch one ' s fellowman struggle against famine and poverty without doing anything to help , especially when the onlooker takes no effort to do so . Compassion , a virtue preached in almost all religions from Buddhism to Mohammedanism , is what distinguishes us human beings from animals .

"Economically speaking , such aid could also create a win-win situation . Underdeveloped nations no doubt receive direct benefits through such deeds . For developed nations , new medical problems may very well arise from the work in underdeveloped nations ; thus related research is conducted accordingly to conquer the problem , promoting the development of the pharmaceutical industry . The potential market in those poor countries , most of which has a huge population , is also a thing worth mentioning . By building a good relationship with them , wealthy nations can not only broaden their global market , but also facilitate future international commerce . The underdeveloped nations , in return , may export local agricultural products , mineral products with discount to the former , boosting each other ' s economy . "

Preventative measures will help improve general health state of all citizens . For example , vaccines will guarantee that pregnant women and their babies are protected from serious infectious diseases such as flu , smallpox , rubella so on . When huge injection campaigns are organized throughout our country , the community ' s health state will be improved remarkably . As human resources play a key role in the development of a country , investing money to enhance the general health state is a totally right decision . In addition , because the cost of treatment is often much higher than that of prevention , the government can save a lot of money for our country ' s health budget .

First and foremost , today entertainment is easier for people to enjoy than ever before . The fact is that such news media as televisions , radios , or newspapers are bringing many news on entertainment sector from all over the world to everybody . People can sit in front of their televisions and watch whatever they want , from musical concerts to live football match . This is a convenient way of relaxation after hard work . Obviously , the popularity of news media is beneficial to human beings .
| 0 |
In addition to this , news media help people broaden their knowledge . It is clearly seen that mass media provide people with a variety of global news on all fields , including political situation , economic change , global warming , and so forth . Hence , there is a strong likelihood that today people are able to know the world better . This is particularly essential when the globalization process has been permeating into all areas of society . Indeed , the fast growth of news media is helpful for people worldwide .

First and foremost , I believe that it would be easier for the juries to make a decision if they know about the past information about the criminal . This is because , knowing their background very well will enable the juries to analyze the crime before coming up with a judgment . For instance , take a person who has not murdered anyone but is suddenly found to be guilty . The juries will be able to know weather the individual committed the crime intentionally or due to circumstances by knowing the facts about the person . Then , punishment can be given in accordance to the condition .
| 1 |
Apart from that , a fair trial can be achieved . As all of us know , juries are a group of people who have no or less knowledge regarding law . Thus , exposing them to the past records of the criminal can give them more room to think rationally and finally put the pieces together in order to produce a more meaningful decision . By doing so , the juries will have a sense of relief that they have come up with better conclusion based on plenty of evidences . Not only that , the convicted will also receive a fair action .
| 0 |
It is undeniable that when the background of the convicted is ' dug ' deeper and is revealed to mass of anonymous people , his privacy is being jeopardized . If finally he is proven innocent , he may feel embarrassed to face the public . However , I am sure that the crimes done by criminals should be brought to light and the public should be aware of it so that they will not become a victim as well .

First and foremost , sports events are good chances for excellent athletes to meet and learn valuable experiences from one another so that they can improve their results , break records and bring victories to their own countries . Because a large number of people will gather in the host city for sport events , there are many good opportunities for discovering different cultures . Consequently , sport events with the spirit of healthiness , honesty and fairness can help strengthen understanding , friendship and solidarity among nations . After sharing competitive but interesting moments in each competition , the competitors often shake hands friendly and congratulate the winners , which can lead to an improvement in the relationships among nations .

Secondly , sporting occasions play an essential role in raising patriotic emotions in both athletes and spectators . Seeing national flags be honored may be the most emotional moments to each athlete . The athlete also seems to be more aware of his responsibilities and he wants to contribute more to his beloved country . When witnessing our national flags flying proudly among others , many of us can stop hiding our pride and happiness . For instance , when Vietnam became the champion of SEAGAMES for the first time in 2008 , a festival atmosphere permeated into the streets . People from all ages turned out to the streets with flags , banners and they sang aloud songs of Ho Chi Minh President . The eager atmosphere lasted many next days . In fact , some hooligans were so excited that they took part in motor racing or using fireworks illegally . However , the hooligans only took a minority of people . Therefore , it can be said that sport events help to wake up love and responsibilities strongly in each citizen .

First of all , children can learn about the hardship of earning money . When they take some kind of paid work such as looking after babies , doing housework and keeping shops , they will have some life experience and skills which make them mature and can deal with many different situations in real life . Therefore , they are likely to understand their parents ' hardship , to respect values of money and to form a good habit of saving .
| 0 |
Some people may argue that children will be more material , neglect their study for earning money or be exploited by the employers . However , if children get good care and instructions from their parents , they can take advantages of the work to learn valuable things and avoid going in a wrong way .

Experience gained through traveling to different places , meeting different people and even at job goes long way . It not only enhances the confidence of a student but also makes them independent . Student ' s who works tend to gather better financial resources which they can rely on during their university studies . This experience also makes them aware of what they would like to make of their life . They develop broader view and can make a better choice of their future studies or courses .

Taking a break not just has benefits but it also comes with some negative impacts . Once student ' s starts earning , they might not like to go back to studies where they would lose their financial independence . They might even find it difficult to adapt to education environment . There is also a risk of student never going back to university or higher education . Probably some might take some short term courses instead of proper and complete university education , which will help them to get a better job and salaries . This might only help them in a short run as it is a known fact that to make a reasonable career in longer runs , one needs a proper and higher qualification .

Looking from another perspective , there are also a significant number of people who are very successful in their fields without going to university . Take for instance those who start their own business . These people depend solely on hard work and luck . Interestingly , for some of them it proved to be a profitable job . To cite an example , Michael Dell who is the founder and the CEO of Dell left college at 19 . Initially , he started his computer company in his college dorm room . Eventually , he used his earnings as well as his family ' s loan in order to progress to be who he is now .

First and foremost , if senior workers dominate the working sector , there will be lesser job opportunities for the fresh graduates . As a result , most of them will be forced to take up careers which are poles apart from what they had studied for . To illustrate this further , a medical graduate might find it very disheartened when he had to spend around five precious years studying medicine and at the end of the day , he will have to take up another profession rather than doctor due to the insufficient job opportunities available . On top of that , due to the lack of genuine passion on the work which was not of their option , there is a greater possibility for their performance standard to dwindle at their workplace .

Apart from that , not all elderly workers are physically well . Beyond that age , a large proportion of them have an elevated chance of contracting a multitude of health problems such as stress related diseases and cardiovascular illnesses . To cite an example , the stressful life that an aged teacher goes through will definitely take a toll on him . Consequently , they will not be able to give their best in whatever they are doing . Besides , the academic institution will have to pay for his medical bills , resulting in more loss for the institution . Thus , it would indeed be better if at an older age , opportunities are given to the younger ones .

"In order to help visitors to learn more about the exhibits , museums hold various activities which make visitors be part of what they are seeing . For example , at American Museum of Natural History , you can make a bone-by-bone reproduction of the museum ' s stegosaurus ; at Museum of Art in New York , you can look at 17th century instruments while listening to their music . While if you "" visit "" the museum online , you may not able to get this kind of experience . "

Seeing an art work on computer screen is not the same as you watch it by your own eyes . For instance , you can ' t see the texture of the artwork which is very important to study the skills used by the artist . What ' s more , not all the details of the artwork can be shown on the computer screen . Some details might be dim since the resolution ratio of the screen is not high enough . These may influence the comprehension of the art work or historical objects .

Many people hold the opinion that past behaviour determines the future actions , which could be the main reason to support the idea of revealing the record to the jury . We must acknowledge that complete data concerning the history of a sued person creates more opportunity for jury members to build an overall picture of defendant ' s personality . Furthermore , past record might be useful to decide whether a person was able to perform a certain type of crime when it concerns serious crimes , such as kidnapping or a murder .

First and foremost , the Internet is an adequate source of academic information , which will potentially fulfill the needs of university pupils . Nowadays , not only are lectures available online , it is also applicable to find reference e-books as well as multi-aspect documents on the cyberspace . As such , the Internet has grown to become the largest virtual library ever . Moreover , with the use of the Internet , distance and time seem to be no more a hindrance . College students can save their time browsing for necessary information through the web instead of spending hours wandering in bookstores or libraries . Last but not least , the Internet offers a more effective and practical method of studying . While virtual flowcharts and animations may simplify complicated scientific processes , Google and Wikipedia are always accessible for detailed responses to every query .

Critics may argue that the Internet have several drawbacks which can affect the education system negatively , for instance internet abuse and black webs . However , we should bear in mind that these problems are mainly triggered by students ' wrong approach towards the Internet not the Internet itself . Thus , what we are to do is a change in learners ' attitude not an elimination of the Internet from academic study .

Admittedly , more lives will be saved by the use of effective medicines . The medical industry in developing countries is incapable of producing high-quality drugs . With advanced technology , the developed world has achieved remarkable breakthroughs in making medicines , which can cure a variety of serious illnesses . If people in poorer countries gain access to these drugs , their health situations may be better . The reduction in cost of medicines therefore shows the sign of humanity .
| 0 |
However , the current cost of medicines is , in fact , reasonable and based on the medicines ' effectiveness . Apparently , the process of researching , testing and producing drugs in masses costs a substantial amount of money . Moreover , these products prove to ensure human health completely . Suppose companies were forced to reduce the cost of drugs , they would make no profit , even running up debt because of production expenditure . Therefore , the measure cannot be adopted , otherwise those companies will go into liquidation . In short , this is not a long-term solution .

Fortunately , there are other measures to improve the situation . It is advisable for the government to encourage medical production by supplying land for building factories and reducing part of the taxes . Additionally , charitable organizations can buy medicines from developed countries and distribute to the undeveloped world for free .

Firstly , it is well known and clinically proven that smoking is extremely hazardous to the smoker and others who have been exposed to the fume over a period of time . Recent death statistic released by the Malaysian Ministry of Health shows that the top killer was lung related diseases caused by smoking . A large proportion of death involved second hand smoker particularly young children and pregnant women who were vulnerable to these lethal diseases . Therefore , the number of fatality can be significantly reduced if a total ban on public smoking is implemented .

Secondly , the image of a healthy nation can be promoted when government restricts public smoking by imposing stern penalty to the offender . For instance , the Brunei government had recently enforced a law against smoking in public areas such as caf̩s , hospital and shopping street . This step has curbed down the numbers of smokers in the country and as a result , Brunei remains a place known for its tranquility and cleanliness . This example shows the benefit of restricting public smoking to a country as a whole .

Firstly , rapid development of infrastructure is eating most of the forest throughout world . The so-called Concrete jungles have evolved endangering forests and wild life . As we all know life saving oxygen is produced by trees after converting harmful carbon dioxide gas . Moreover , wild life is very essential to maintain ecological balance on planet Earth .

Secondly , large emissions of carbon monoxide gas from refrigerants like air conditioners have depleted ozone layer . Importance of ozone layer is evident by the fact as it protects us from harmful ultra violet rays . To add to it , excess emission of carbon dioxide gas mainly by vehicles around the world has increased the average temperature at north pole which in turn has increased water level due to gradual melting of glaciers .

Lastly , either industrial waste or domestic waste produced everyday is badly polluting the planet Earth . For instance a large amount of unnoticed industrial waste released in oceans effects aquatic life to a large extent . Harmful chemicals present in industrial waste kills lot of sea creatures in oceans or rivers .

Admittedly , encouraging the workers to retire at age of fifty-five to release the positions for younger job seekers has some merits . Firstly , fresh graduates are likely to bring a number of practical and applicable ideas to meet the current needs of the organisation . This is because they have been instilled and imparted the most updated knowledge and skills at universities . Secondly , having a larger proportion of young adults could enhance the working effectiveness and efficiency . Compared with aged staffs , younger employees are often physically stronger and energetic which enables them to carry out heavy workload to meet the deadline .

However , sacrificing the senior members to save the young workers poses several negative influences . From personal level , it fosters a sense of unfairness between the older and younger generations . It is undeniable that every person within the business enterprise has the rights to proceed their work as long as they are capable of doing it , disregard the age and physical capacity . From social perspective , massively forcing the early retirement would be one of financial burden to the local government . For example , sufficient pension payments and regular medical care should be given and arranged for the senior citizens after they have been imposed to terminate their employment permanently .

The major opposing argument is to protect the safety of citizens . In other words , the government should disclose the information to the media in a timely manner , especially for disasters and outbreak of new diseases . Taking the SARS in 2003 as an example , the Chinese government limited the amount of information for public access which therefore causes numerous deaths . Even so , another perspective on this is to prevent the citizen from unnecessary fear and unrest .

There are several reasons why animal testing should be banned . Firstly , the costs outweigh the benefits . Every year , cosmetic companies , farms or medical schools kill millions of animals to test their products , without any beneficial result . Animal testing costs an enormous amount of money , since they must be fed , cared for and treated with drugs or experimental substances .
| 0 |
Secondly , animals are kept in unnatural conditions . Recent studies point out that animals are neglected and treated poorly , which influences their reactions to drugs . In March 2003 , a lab technician shot a video inside a lab , which revealed primates in cages without pain medication , for instance one baboon with a metal cylinder screwed into its head . Consequently , I think that sacrificing animals is an expensive and painful activity .
| 1 |
There is also the argument that many ethical and genetic principles are broken when testing on animals . Many people agree that it is not only inhumane and cruel to cause pain to animals , but also misleading , since animals and people ' s response to a drug can be different . I personally believe that human beings have no moral right to use animals in ways that do not benefit the individual .

A number of measures should be taken to address these concerns . Wherever possible , exams should match the content and activities of the learning environment . Exam task should be varied to give fair opportunities to candidates with different types of skills . Other types of assessment should also be considered , assignment writing , for example , to assess independent learning and research skills , or group projects , to measure teamwork ability .
