Some people believe that only pupils of similar interests should be given

admissions in schools. Others are of the opinions that schools should be

open to all children with varied interests. How far you agree or disagree

with the above views.

Students take admission in a school to acquire skills and knowledge. School acts asa resource house for providing education and information to the children. Every

person in this world has a different way of thinking and perceiving the world.

Similar is the case in the schools where people of varied interests are inducted in to

different courses.

Some people believe that schools should only give admission to the students with

similar interest, but I think otherwise. I contemplate that it is incessant for the

schools to provide admission to students with varied interest. This will help students

become versatile and it will make them well aware of all the fields of the world.

There are people who normally associate cooking and fashion designing to girls and

economics to boys, but this is not the case. Students eventually realize that their

preferences change over the years and it would be in their best interest to keep

their options open.

Giving admission to the students can also have some benefits for the students. For

instance the students would be able to concentrate on the specific subject which he

or she wants to pursue in his later life. As the other students have the same course

preference it would be easier for the student to communicate and exchange vital

information. These students would be focusing on the same area which would easily

lead to synergy.

There are some people who stress on the idea that universities are following this

model and the same model should be adopted by the school, but according to

opinion it is not practical. Schools are the place where the student spend the initial

years of his or her life and he or she does not know what degree or profession to

pursue. In this case it would be rather unjustified to deprive the students of getting

knowledge of all the subjects.

Some authors believe that urbanisation is a Modern Disease. In not less

than 250 words explain if you agree with this view and give your own

opinion.

Urbanization is the process by which people living in the rural areas shift to the

urban areas in order to find a better life. Since medieval times people have beenmigrating to the places where resources are in abundance. This process is being

witnessed all over the world, and many consider it to be bad thing. Some even

regard urbanization to be a Modern Disease. Before embarking in to any

conclusion I would like to see both the aspects of the topic.

The shift or movement to the city creates many opportunities for the people. It is

very easy to find jobs in the city area and people can even operate as small

businessmen. I would like to talk about my own city. Many multinational companies

have been opening their offices in the city which has resulted in better job

opportunities for all the people. People move to the urban areas in an effort to

acquire better education and healthcare for themselves.

There are also some problems which were created by the process of urbanization.

As people move towards the city it gets harder for some people to find the high-

paying job which they deserve. People who come from the rural areas are

desperate to find a job, so they agree to work at a low salary which deprives the

professional people from getting a job. It is very hard to provide housing to the

people who are coming from the rural areas. When people gather in a concentrated

area the developers have to build apartment building which triggers the traffic

problem.

It is the sole responsibility of the people in the rural areas to do the farming, and

when they migrate to the metros it creates food problem in the entire country.

Many countries have been encountered by this dilemma. When these people move

to the urban areas to find job in the service industry it cripples the agricultural

industry of the country.

I think that it would be a better decision for people in the rural areas to live in their

areas but I think the government should make an effort of providing better schools

and hospitals in the rural areas.

Capital punishment is a brutal decision and should be abolished. Give your

views in not less than 250 words if you agree or disagree with it.

Capital punishment is a punishment in which the criminal is charged or indicted for

a severe crime. Capital punishment is also referred to as the death sentence which

implies that the person guilty of committing this offence is to face death sentence.

There are many countries in the world which have abolished this sentence, but

there are still some countries which are practicing this procedure. Death penalty is

awarded to the people who have killed another person.

It may be easier for an ignorant person to say that this punishment is justified, but

I being a well informed student of law would strongly condemn this punishment.

The law system is a very complexed one. There have been many instances where

innocent have been accused of guilt and they have lost their life. Evidence can be

easily tampered and it may easily be changed in favor of the person who has theresources.

Instead of killing the accused offender the murderer may be sent to a jail. Jail is a

place where the murderer is punished for his or her crime and he has to live a very

bad life. One day ay jail is tantamount to living in a hell.

Taking another persons life is a very big crime both legally and religiously. No one

in this world has the right to take another persons life. No matter what the

situation is, no one should have the authority to do this thing because it takes

another persons life and life is granted only once. It devastates the life of the

family member of the dead person and it ruins his friends. No matter what the

other person has done no one should be allowed to take the retribution for other

persons acts. Life is not planned and people tend to do things which they have not

planned. I have seen very good people making grave mistakes. This notion forces

me to corroborate the lifting of this sentence.

Given the complexities of the law system I feel that the real criminals contrive ways

to save themselves from the punishment. This has led me to come of the opinion

that this sentence should be abolished.

Working and living abroad helps us to know other cultures well. How far

you think working abroad has good or bad impacts on our cultural lives?

Culture consists of the ideas and beliefs which define or personality and guide us to

live the life which we are living. Increasing number of people are opting to live orwork in a foreign country. The reason might be some work urgency or simply a

personal preference which might lead to the decision. We are persistently being

affected by changes and we have to encounter many problems while dealing with

people of other cultures. When a person lives or works abroad he not only has to

see some differences in the outside world but also some in him or herself.

Every person in this world has his or her own culture. Culture encompasses our

entire life and we cannot be emancipated from the teachings of the culture which

were ingrained into our minds by our parents. Some people contemplate that the

different conflicting cultures may have adverse affects while others are adamant on

the issue that there might my some fruitful affects.

When a person enters the global market, the global market entails him to make

certain decisions which might be unethical or illegal for that person. Some Muslim

women might regard it highly offensive if they were to asked to enter their work

place without a scarf. Similarly in most of the Asian countries it is regarded

extremely offensive to shake hands with a woman while people in the European

countries find it perfectly fine to do this particular activity.

There are also some benefits which might be taken if an individual accustoms

himself to the culture. The familiarization and appreciation of a different culturemight also have some benefits. Working in a foreign country will promote tolerance

and respect for the other culture. There is equal respect given to both men and

women working in company in America; however, a similar kind of behavior might

not be expected in a company in Pakistan or India.

If you were given to change, what all changes you would implement in this

21st century to make our world a better living place? Discuss few changes

in not less than 250 words.

Change is inevitable and it is imperative for everyone. Our world and the way we

live in it has changed dramatically over the years. We are living in a world whichhas limited resources and unlimited wants, we are living in a world where everyone

seeks to achieve perpetual happiness but each person fails repeatedly. This means

that we are living in an imperfect world which entails specific changes. I think if I

were given chance I would make some drastic reforms in the educational, medical

and social sector of the world.

There are more than 120 countries in the world and if we analyze them we would

be able to contemplate that the rich countries are the countries which have a good

and strong education system. I would definitely have a more pragmatic approach

towards solving the problem. A common system should be implemented in the

entire world so that people moving from one place to another should not have

problem in getting a job and the people should be adaptable to the changing world.

One thing clearly visible about the school system in the developing countries is that

they are teaching the theories and methodologies which are not applicable in the

real world.

Some social reforms are also mandatory. We as human beings do not know

whether to follow our religious preaching or the teaching of the todays world. There

are some people who are massacring other people for the sake of religion while

others are showing race discrimination based on their cultural values. Basically we

can say that we are in a dilemma. We are incessantly faced with the problem of

what to do and how to do it. The only solution to this problem is tolerance and

forbearance. We should try to acknowledge the fact that every person in the world

has a right to practice his or her own ideas as long as they do not hurt other

people.

Millions of people in Africa and Asia have entered the crime world because they

were oppressed by their heartless leaders or by their ill-fortune. The world would be

a much more peaceful place if these people were provided with the basic

necessities of life. Free health facility is something which I would I like to initiate in

this world. Healthy food and pure water should also be provided without anycomplexity.

Should poor countries continue to receive International Aids? Give your

views in not less than 250 words.

Poor countries are the countries which are deprived of the basic necessities of life

and they do not have ample resources to trigger economic growth while the rich

countries have abundant resources to prosper both economically and socially. Some

people tend to believe that reliance on the foreign aid is fundamental for success

while others believe that this munificence will make the people of the country

lethargic and less willing to work with vigor and zest.

I personally believe that poor countries are often ruled by brutal leaders and

leaving them in the hands of the cruel leaders will eventually make their lives

intolerable and unbearable. If I take the example of my own country it has

sufficient resources, but people are still not provided with the things they require so

they have to take the aid from the foreign countries like America.

International aid helps the country build its structure. Some countries are endowed

with resources and the ability to use them while other only combat their ill-fortune.

Developed countries can easily help other people for the noble cause of humanity

and that can easily be done if they cut their extravagant expenses. This money

could be used to improve the education system which would consequently make the

people adept at doing different things. This money could be made to improve the

health situation so that people do not die of minor diseases. This money could be

used to lessen domestic violence and as a result of this the killing in retaliation

could also be prevented.

The problems which poverty can generate are of great magnitude. They are often

ignored, but if we analyze thoroughly we will easily be able come to the conclusion

that poverty initiates all kinds of crime. Rich countries have grave concern

regarding the terrorism prevailing in the current era, and this terrorism is

stimulated by unemployment and poverty. Countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan

are accused of being terrorist states as the people living there are still striving to

live a normal life with their families. If the international community actually makes

their standard of living better, I do not think their life would be in jeopardy. I am

adamant on the issue that international aid plays an indispensable role in thegrowth of a developing country.

The modern technology is all making things easily available. Internet has

provided us the easy downloadable versions of most books we need. Can

internet world replace the world of books and words? Give your own views

in not less than 250 words.

Most people are discontinuing the contemporary practices of attaining education,

and they are keener towards acquiring knowledge by the use of technological

innovations. Books have acted as a true asset in imparting knowledge, but now the

reliance on internet sources is also considered important. Different people have

different notions but I think that that internet has more importance in todays world

but it will not be able to replace the books completely.

Almost everything is available on the internet, be it newspapers, journals, comics,

books or articles. The unique feature of the information on the internet is that it is

free and readily available for everyone. A person sitting on the internet does not

have any monetary or time limitations. The information can be viewed again and

again and it always remains over there. Multiple jobs and busy schedules are even

forcing people to forgo school education in favor of online education.

Some people believe that books can never be completely replaced by internet

because even in such an era of scientific development and technological acumen

people still tend to read from the books. Colleges and universities may offer the

course on the internet, but people prefer to use the books in the school or college.

Some people even consider that the information provided on the internet is not

reliable and is generated from undependable sources. The authenticity of the

information cannot be verified so it is seen skeptically.

Another debatable issue in the online world is the issue of copyright infringement.

Everyone likes to get free stuff but someone is paying for that stuff. We often

ignore the source of the information but the truth is that someone is suffering

because of the downloadable versions and this information will cease to exist once

proper laws are executed for the online theft. That is why it would be better to use

the books which mostly do not indulge in any plagiarism.

Both internet and books are important and if they both are used collectively they

would be able to produce greater and better results for an individual ororganization, but I think that internet would not be never be able to replace books

in the field of education or any other field.

Children are the impressions of their parents behaviour. If a child behaves

badly his parents should be considered responsible and should be

punished. How far do you agree with this.

Parents give birth to children and take care of their children from adolescence tomaturity. Sometimes children behave in a way which is considered unacceptable

and deplorable by both their parents and the society. There are times when even

the parents fail to fathom their behavior. Most people are of the view that as

parents have the sole responsibility of the upbringing of their children, they should

be the ones castigated for their erroneous behavior.

The first thing which we have to consider is that children are not mature and they

mostly act the way they are taught to act. There is colossal evidence which shows

that internal fights between husbands and wives are one of the primary reason for

the frustration and aggravation in children. When parents use abusive language in

front of their children it mostly impels the children to adopt that way of conduct.

There are no parents who would ever instigate their children to act in the illicit way.

All parents strive to ingrain good skills in their children but they still behave in the

wrong way. Parents are not the only ones who have an impact on children, there

are innumerable factors which compel the children to behave in the way they do.

Schools also play a vital role in the way student behave. Most children learn how to

abuse or fight in the schools.

There is no law in the world which would advocate the punishing of one person forthe actions of another. If you think consciously you will comprehend that the flawed

behavior of the children is in essence an actual punishment for their children.

Parents have to face embarrassment and degradation in front of people.

Are famous people treated unfairly by the media ? Should they be given

more privacy, or is the price of their fame an invasion into their private

lives?

Famous people are the people who also regarded to be celebrated people. Media

consists of the network which imparts information to the general public. Mediaexercises different methods to exploit the lives of these famous people to generate

exciting stories. There is a vast division between people on this issue.

There are many laws which explicitly state that no one has the permission to

impede in the lives of other people. Privacy is not important but also important for

famous people. There are times when they are going to go through difficult times

as isolation is the only remedy for their agony but these journalists keep intruding

into their lives and disturb them further. Some media groups generate malicious

news to attract viewership. It is entirely on the discretion of media group to either

paint him as a hero or a complete mess.

Famous people give a sense of inspiration to the people. They have achieved high

success and if the world is made aware of their achievements the people would be

immensely motivated to work towards working meticulously. Some people provide

the argument that famous people are the ones who are striving to achieve publicity

and the moment they get it they desire privacy. Famous people are public property

so that is the reason people regard it has their right to know everything about it.

What do you think the government in your country should do to make your

country more successful?

Government is the institution which has the sole responsibility of taking care of the

affairs of a country. The government is facing a lot of problems and the problemsare having devastating effects on the lives of the citizens. Success is a very hard

word to define but we can simply say that success means the achievement or

accomplishment of certain goals which a person has set in his or her minds. I think

that government in my country should give exceptional focus on some sections like

education and business to achieve perpetual success.

The education system of Pakistan is deemed to be one of the feeblest education

system in the world with the no focus on learning and only memorizing the obsolete

terminologies and definitions. We should robustly endeavor to adopt new innovative

ways of spreading education. There is a huge economic disparity in my country

which leads 99% percent of the people to be deprived of good education while a

low 1% actually benefiting from the process.

One thing can be seen in all the thriving economies in the world, and it is that all

these countries are able to offer a good economic policy. World was stunned by the

financial success of Japan but they never tried to understand the work behind it.

Japanese worked with extreme fervor and that it is the thing which led to their

economic supremacy. The government promoted business activity and small

businesses were offered good policy.

I contemplate that people in my country have become lethargic and they try to findnew ways to deceive another person whereas they do not believe in hard work.

Citizens should be motivated to practice their businesses in the rightful way and

discipline should be ingrained in to every person.

I believe discipline coupled with good education would definitely make a country

prosperous and this is the only policy a country should adopt to take the first step

towards economic progression. The above mentioned will also eradicate all the

social evils from the region.

Life was simpler without so much of technology. Give your views in not

less than 250 words.

What is technology? In simple words I can say that technology is something without

which we cannot live our life comfortably. We have been inundated with machinesand our reliance on technology is at its peak. Technology has had overwhelming

affects on our personal and professionals lives. The main aim of technology was to

make things simpler but people tend to believe that technology has made our lives

even more complicated.

If you look in the professional lives of people, the dependence on technology is

immense. We have to use phones, computers, printers, and many other things to

operate in the business environment. Technology plays a significant role in

mitigating the costs of the businesses and doing the work in the timely manner.

Technology enables workers to be in constant correspondence with other people but

sometimes technology might also have some adverse effect as it blurs the

boundaries between work and home and workers do not know when to concentrate

on work and when to give time to family because they are flooded with calls from

home while they are working.

Technology has even facilitated us to remain in close contact with our loved ones.

Different websites and application are in use these days which allow people

communicate and correspondence.

If you look at the health situation the benefits of technology are apparent.

Technology has helped us help scale back the prevalence of many deadly diseases.I would even go to the point of saying that success in the medical field can be

attributed to technology because technology provided all the machines which are

used to diagnose and cure a disease.

I have seen that in order to make our life simpler we have to go through a difficult

way. These days phone and computer companies are making products which make

out tasks easier but it is difficult to operate them.

The 21st century has begun. What changes do you think this new century

will bring? Use examples and details in your answer.

Nothing in this world is immutable. As the twenty-first century unfolds we would

realize that it has brought drastic changes in our lives. I believe that change is

inevitable and it would be witnessed in all the different sectors in the prevailingworld. We will witness changes in the economic, social, health and legal sectors of

our society.

Some developing countries are striving to get in to the league of rich countries

while the previous thriving economies are beset by prolonged economic downturn.

Due to extravagant expenses and lethargic attitude towards work the workers in

the developed countries have reduced their productivity. I think that as we will

further move in to 21st century productivity would be the greatest concern for the

companies and countries. Money would not be spent to buy luxuries and even the

businesses will not employ their resources to produce luxury goods. Every penny

would count.

World will also witness unprecedented barbaric and cruel treatment by some

countries. We have already started to see the indications from the last century but

as the century progresses the situation would amplify and exacerbate further. I

would also go to the extent of saying that there would be a moral outrage. There

would be lack of unity amongst countries and they would be unable to form

consensus on the slightest issue. Alleviating inequality would just be a myth.

There might also be some good things which we might like to embrace in the new

century. I am very optimistic about technology and education. Technologicalprogression has become imperative for everyone and there might some

advancement in this sector. Knowledge has become a commodity and is

increasingly democratized and globalized. With the booming information websites

the knowledge has become a facility for everyone and the trend signifies that

information sharing will be on the escalating side.

Change often perturbs me because I think that change only brings more emptiness

and suspicion in our lives. Well my argument has been debunked persistently but I

am adamant on the issue that 21st century will bring some adverse affect on our

lives and in order to constraint the bad affects world leaders need to address theimpact and implication of these changes.

Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things we really do

not need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that

may improve our lives. Which viewpoint do you agree with? Use specific

reasons and examples to support your answer.

Advertising is becoming an increasingly sophisticated topic. It is very difficult tocomprehend the main purpose of advertising. Countries are persistently

bombarding the people with massive ads which sometimes educate people

regarding the new products and sometimes reinforce the previously mentioned

message by accentuating the importance of the product.

Advertising makes people aware of the products and motivates them to buy it.

There has been a drastic shift in the buying patterns of people. People may oppose

these ads but the truth is that these ads are the sole factor which stimulates them

to buy the product. It would be wrong to say that products do not have any

benefits. Advertising just highlights the benefits which are already constituted in

the product. I was once keen to buy a laptop and a very gripping ad provoked me

to buy the product.

Another thing which deserves the attention of people is that these advertising

giants exercise different methods to transform a want into a need. They

manipulate the minds of the people to make them believe that they need the

product and need the thing. All the media giants are contending to incept in the

consumers mind that the product is mandatory for their life.

World is now started to have doubts about advertising. They have come to the

conclusion that this gigantic advertising is forcing people to buy things which theydo not need. Once a popular businessman said once you buy things you do not

need you will have to sell the things you do not need. This advertising has been the

fundamental cause for the economic turmoil and financial destruction. Some of the

people are suspicious ideology and anticipate an eventual downturn.

It is sometimes said that borrowing money from another country can harm

or damage the relations with the country. Do you agree? Why or why not?

A country has a very complicated relation with another. No matter how cordial their

relations are they can never completely rely on another country. The economic

turmoil of 2008 led many countries to implore for a loan by the richer countries andbig financial giants. The money was either needed to bailout the country, pay for

the extravagant expenses or to develop the infrastructure. Borrowing money should

be opposed at all levels and especially when it comes to getting loan from another

country.

There is no possible way a country could not harm the relations with another

country after borrowing money. Money is borrowed to ameliorate the conditions of

the people of borrowing country. The money might be able to improve the

conditions but the lending country will do a lot of intervention in the affairs of the

country. Borrowing would trigger distrust and disbelieve among the countries.

Governments generate money by taxing the citizens and it is the tax-payer who

pays the money with the supposition that the fund would be utilized in the country.

The tax-payer would be infuriated on finding that the money is going to be used to

solve the problems of another country. This would spread anger and distrust among

the citizens of the loan granting and a certain kind of superiority would be visible in

their behavior. Relations would be rattled and destroyed forever.

Some people even contend that helping another country in need would in fact

improve their relations; moreover, it would help strengthen relations and

collaborate in different ways. A country would always remember the generosity ofanother country and help improve the relations.

Deciding the size of ones own family is a personal preference In youropinion should government intervene in the rights of the individual withregard to family planning?

Family is a group of individuals who are socially and emotionally dependent on eachother. We can see that overpopulation has created many problems for not onlyfamilies but also for different governments. Many governments have taken theinitiative of introducing modern contraception and family-planning information whileother governments have decided not to implement their will on the people.

Some people believe that the parents should make the decision on how manychildren they want to have. I would like to take the example of my own countrywhere the parents have to bear the expenses of their children and the governmentdoes not make any kind of contribution in the upbringing of a child. Theintervention of my countrys government in this issue would be viewed with utterrage and distrust. If the family has the ability to pay for the childs expenses itshould also have the right to exercise the decision on whether to have it or not

have it. There are a lot of people who corroborate the notion that the parentsshould be empowered to make such a vital decision of their life.

It is the sole responsibility of the government to provide the basic necessities of lifeto its citizens. No matter how inefficient or unaware a government might be, it stillhas to employ resources to provide public goods. We simply cannot envisage theproblem which governments have been facing due to this incessant populationincrease. This escalating population fuels many other economic problems likeunemployment and inflation. Furthermore, a child who is deprived of basicnecessities will not only look at his or her parents with resentment but also thegovernment with antipathy.

Government is an organization which has the power and authority. Family planningwas perceived as a moral wrong and social evil in the early days but now all thepolitical parties and welfare organizations are trumpeting their support for familyplanning. I think that the government has every right to influence families ondeciding how many children to have.

Women are always better parents than men. How far you agree with this?Give your opinion in not less than 250 words.

There was a time when psychologists believed that the mother-child relation wasstronger than father-child relation but now these people think that both are equallyimportant. Parents play a very important role in the development of a child.According to a general opinion mothers outshine fathers, but now this notion is nolonger accepted.

Fathers in this era are playing an extremely active role in the upbringing of a child.According to a research depression and behavior problems are apparent in the childwho is deprived of fathers love and attention. Fathers have to satisfy the financialneeds of the child.

The role of women cannot be ignored or undermined. Children tend to share theirfeelings and ideas with their mothers in a more open manner. Mothers and childrenhave always had cordial relations. It was first considered that the men would be

provide for the financial needs, but after the financial crunch in the world women inboth first and third world countries have both played a more active role in theaccomplishment of the financial needs. It would not be wrong to state that womenare the primary caregiver and molder of children.

Most children believe that mother exercises authoritative parenting. Childrenbelieve that mothers do not have the candidness with the childrenThere are many people who espouse equally shared parenting so vociferously thatgo to the extent of saying that imbalance in the affection given by the parent wouldresult in confrontation and altercation amongst the family.

I think that women play a far more important role than men in the upbringing ofthe child. With the extremely controversial topic of parental acceptance andrejection across the globe some people are even questioning the interference ofparents, but no one gainsay the fact that mother have a very vital role in the life ofa child.

The threat of nuclear weapons maintains world peace. Nuclear powerprovides cheap and clean energy. The benefits of nuclear technology faroverweigh the disadvantages. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons foryour answer.

Nuclear weapons have always been perceived as a tool of mass destruction, butthere is another side to it. Nuclear weapons can be used to produce clean energy;moreover, nuclear weapons could even foster peace and relax tensions between thecountries. I think that nuclear weapons have managed to avoid wars andmaintained peace in the area. Peace dominates the political landscape of sub-continent; not despite the presence of nuclear weapons but because of it. Nuclearweapons can help country produce energy, but on the other hand it might alsotrigger confrontational environment.

Iran is one of countries which are claiming that it is using nuclear power to produceclean sustainable energy. The entire world is skeptical of Irans nuclear program,

but the fact is that because of the nuclear program Iran has been able to becomean economically strong country, in spite of all the sanctions levied on it.

Some people are of the notion that nuclear weapons would heighten suspicion andhostility between the countries but entirely the opposite is true for two nuclearpowers: Pakistan and India. Pakistan and India have fought 3 wars, but since thepossession of nuclear weapons by both countries, the relations have improved.Nuclear weapons have thus become deterrents of war rather than instigators ofwar. World wars witnesses unprecedented catastrophes which are initiated not bynuclear weapons but by the hideous minds of people.

There are some disadvantages of possessing nuclear weapons. Nuclear weaponsmay have not resulted in a war till now, but if a war abrupt nuclear weapons woulddo unprecedented damage. There nuclear weapons have been a cause of tenserelations between different countries.
