Dinosaur, dodos ...) There is no reason why people should try to prevent this
from happening. Do you agree or disagree?
Firstly, human influence has been proven to be responsible for the extinction of
certain species. For hundreds of years, the progressive expansion of humans’
territory, especially for cultivation and habitation has resulted in the loss of
animal habitat. Hunting, to a large extent, is driving numerous species to mass
extinction or to the degree they are gravely threatened. Therefore, it is
imperative humans assume the responsibility for reversing the situation and
overcome the consequences.
Finally, the efforts expended to save animal species act as a educational tool,
which may somehow change the course of nature. For example, keeping
animals in zoos can shelter them against possible threats such as scarcity of
foods or other predators which they are likely to confront in the wilderness.
With better protection and more zoo-based awareness raising activities, the
public can be aware of the gravity of the situation and together join hands to
preserve animal species, especially rare and endangered ones.
On the one hand, the unrestricted access to the Internet has benefited greatly the
public for its convenience and comfort. It is undoubted that telecommunication
tools including email, instant messaging or social networks facilitate people’s
interaction, bringing people closer together. For instance, an international
student or a foreign worker in the USA can deliver a message to his friends or
family back home in Vietnam, only at the click of a mouse regardless of
geographical barriers. Another example is that shoppers can seek out items or
services of the finest quality without engaging in lengthy commutes, especially
during extreme weather conditions like torrential rain or scorching heat of the
summer.
On the other hand, certain detriments are associated with the excessive Internet
use. The over-reliance on virtual communication is the primary cause of the
decline in social skills which are crucial for real-life contact. It is not
uncommon for heavy social network users to feel awkward when trying to strike
up conversations with strangers or make small talk about social events. Thus,
these people might eventually become socially alienated and suffer from a great
sense of solitude. Another harmful aspect is the diminished physical and mental
condition. The overindulgence in the virtual world would undoubtedly trigger
a sedentary lifestyle, which is responsible for a number of health-related
problems such as impaired vision, obesity or the inability to process and
express emotions
It is argued by a few that against the backdrop of the joblessness situation faced
by many countries, secondary education should be removed from orthodox
curriculum. I am thoroughly against this notion..
The argument that the supply of only primary-level education and total
elimination of secondary one is a solution in the context of a high
unemployment rate appears to be attractive to a certain extent. As argued, huge
amounts of budget can be economized as there is no longer the need for hiring
teachers, constructing schools or other exorbitant overhead costs, and they can
be allocated to the creation of more jobs. Also, in some countries most secondary
students drop out of their school despite the support they receive from the
government as they have no interest for schooling. However, I would argue that
an investment in education is a long-term goal, and the costs expended are well
worth the employment opportunities that students would gain later as
mentioned earlier; in addition, drop-out rate can be minimized by a more
scientific curriculum that should focus more on job orientation and practical
experience rather than mere theory.
Some people argue that a majority of pressing global issues are engendered by
population explosion. In my opinion, I completely agree with this point of view
for some reasons.
Other global issues such as food security, illiteracy or poor healthcare are just
amongst the many problems that are caused by the uncontrolled growth of
population. If there were few people on this Earth, food supplies can be
sufficient to feed the population, or there would be enough schools for children to
go to, and hospitals could adequately cater to the needs of patients when they are
ill.
