- Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on your children. Do you agree or disagree?
Today the world progresses through a fast phased
technological era, whilst the societies around are being impacted by the sheer
power of its revolution. In an era as such, it is evident that the children are
naturally influenced towards the common phase of the current nature. As a
matter of fact this has emerged a dispute towards to what extent children are
being influenced by the computers in terms of positivity or negativity.
For one using a computer in day to day life, by children
has become a common occurrence by the society due to the sheer amount of the
advantages derived by it. It is proved that children can show significant
improvements in their brain activity due to the number of teaching methods
implemented by modern children’s software. Nowadays starting as early as few
years old, children seem to form a bond with the computers. Educational games
with colourful themes and music are successful in attracting their hearts and
minds which believed to be the foundation of the education in today’s terms.
However when it comes to computer games and the internet,
especially are not controlled by a guardian, could lead a child to fall on to a
path of addiction rather than education. Experts believe that the education
with a combination of fun is the crucial factor when it comes to use computers
for children. However lacking parental control could eliminate the educational
factor and boost the fun to an extent that could lead to potential addiction of
violent computer games, internet videos, phonography, violent movies, so on and
so forth.
In conclusion, computers have become great tools of
freedom, where in the presence of guardian control considered to be
revolutionising children’s education. However lack of parental control over the
use of computers by children has proven to be potentially harmful in many ways.
Therefore it is highly recommended that children, in presence of computers,
must be kept in control of their use.
- Some businesses prohibit smoking in any of their offices. Some governments have banned smoking in all public places. Do you agree or disagree that this is the right course of action. Give reasons for your opinion.
Strong addictions are
undeniably the worst case scenario in our societies today. One of the major
treats to the human race is the tobacco addition that killed many throughout
the past decades and as well as continues to do so in present. However most of
the first world governments and authorities have realized the consequences of
the high tobacco use among its civilians and taken drastic measures to ban
tobacco from modern societies forever. Whilst this is an ongoing progress, some
believe these measures are not the right course of actions.
For one recent years Australian government attempted many actions to
minimise the tobacco sale by placing hideous pictures of the consequences of
smoking on packets of cigarettes. Considerably retailers were forced to cover
the cigarettes behind the counter and only a price was allowed to be displayed.
Also in many public places, smoking has become banned as well as inside the
office buildings. Despite these rigorous attempts, still today people continue
to buy cigarettes.
The extents of smokers are so large in societies today, that makes
restrictions not viable solution due to the difficulty of escaping the tobacco
addiction is immense. Even people aware of the consequences are drawn to the
addiction repeatedly. Therefore governments and authorities must take an action
to totally ban importing tobacco and classify it as a class “A” drug.
In conclusion, addictions are unrecoverable as long as the sources of the
addictions are present and accessible. Therefore the only path for governments
to follow would be a total ban, imposing enormous fines for the possessions of
a particular banned substance, in this case tobacco, which will eventually
results in high demand and low supply that leads to high priced black market
tobacco, which wouldn’t be accessible my majority.
- Advertising is all around us; it is an unavoidable part of everyone’s life. Some people say that advertising is a positive part of our lives while others say it is a negative one. Discuss both views and include your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.
Throughout
the history of marketing, advertising has been always a great tool of awareness
and influence of a product or a service. It is agreed that the advertising is a
key element of marketing and accounts for most of the profits of a company.
However some believe that the advertising brings negative influences to the
public as it exaggerates the benefits of a product or a service and understate
the disadvantages. As a matter of facts it would be greatly viable to assess
the both ends of these statements and come to a better comprehension.
For one, advertising plays a critical role of awareness of a product which
is yet to be released or already released to the market. This gives the benefit
of targeting proper market segments, especially before the release of a product
or service. On the other hand consumers who were waiting for such products
would be aware of the availability through such marketing campaigns. For an
example Pepsi soft drinks brought a new idea of zero calorie, 100% naturally
sweetened cola drink called Pepsi NEXT about a week ago. The difference of
Pepsi Max and Next is, Next uses natural sweetener called “Stevia”, whilst all
the other zero calorie drinks including their own Max uses, artificial
cancerous substance called “Aspartame”. As this reflects, investing in an
advertising campaign for a new product provides customers with the opportunity
to switch to a naturally sweetened cola.
On
the other hand advertising has always been carrying out exaggeration of
benefits and performances of products and services. An example can be drawn
from the same product which is the Pepsi Next. It claims to be sweetened by
zero calories, natural sweetener Stevia. However if a person choose to have a
thorough inspection of that particular product, it wouldn’t be much difficult
to identify that Stevia was used only in lower percentages whereas the rest of
the product was sweetened by sugar which is full of calories.
In
conclusion it is always safer to have your own investigations of a product or
service rather than be amazed by its advertisements and get caught on a hype of
exaggerations drawn from the advert itself.
