This essay will illustrate how it has broken geographical boundaries as the primary benefit and on the other side, the lack of human contact increasing simultaneously is seen as a negative impact. This essay will deliberate on both sides of the argument.   The introduction of this exceptional development to education has transformed learning. The pivotal benefit it brings to pupils is a seamless geography across the physical world and makes curriculums available to anyone from anywhere and most characteristically anytime. It is therefore agreed that technology is without the slightest ounce of doubt impacting the schooling world positively lik...

Computers are being used more and more in education. Some people say that this is a positive trend while others argue that it is leading to negative consequences.   The use of technology has become paramount in the lives of teachers and students. According to a stratum of society, computers create a positive impact on the users whereas others believe that it brings about a negative effect on the people who consume technology. This essay agrees that an increase in the use of technology is beneficial to learners and their guides. This essay will discuss both points of view. The internet serves as a pool of knowledge for learners and teachers alike. Access to information on any topic is just a click of a button away for students. In such a fast-paced growing world, it is often claimed that time is money and hence the requirement of facts and figures must be available instantly. For example, a pupil may need the statistics for a particular project in a short span of time and goi...

Students are becoming more and more reliant on computers. What are some of the problems associated with reliance on computers, and what are some of the possible solutions?   Computers are evidently becoming an integral part of the education system, causing an increased dependence on computers for students. While this invention is being appreciated for its benefits, this essay will illustrate some of the problems associated along with possible solutions which help neutralize the adversities attached to the same.   The major issue with a significant reliance on this invention is lack of problem-solving skills. Everything today is available at the click of a button, which discourages children from applying critical thinking to come up with a solution by themselves. Consequently, most pupils of this digital age, lack in intellectual rational skills. To state an example, a recent research shows that the IQ levels of students studying without computers for a year, was found to be 30...

Tourism is becoming increasingly important as a source of revenue to many countries, but its disadvantages should not be overlooked. To what extent do you agree or disagree? In the last few years, a number of countries are observed to have tourism as a significant contributor to their economic growth, but it does come with some negativity  which can’t be ignored. I echo this notion completely. This essay will first look at  benefits  tourism brings to a country and then how  keeping control  on adversities, mitigates impacts. Not every country attracts tourists but the ones that do have this opportunity, do leverage it to boost its wealth. Visitors from other countries bring in the foreign exchange and increase the cumulative spending power of the region, resulting in a monetary boost to the country’s wealth. For instance, India is a country of myriad cultures and scintillatingly  beautiful destinations. Such attractions create innumerable opportunities...

Computers are being used more and more in education. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages and give your own opinion.   It is certain these days that the computer is increasingly becoming an integral part of pedagogy. This essay will illustrate how it has broken geographical boundaries as the primary benefit and the lack of human contact increasing simultaneously as the most significant negative outcome/impact.   With technology taking lead in bringing the world closer, the education system isn’t far behind in embracing this wonderful phenomenon. One of the biggest advantages of such inventiveness is the freedom one gets to choose from a plethora of curriculums across the globe from the comfort on one’s home. For instance, last year I enrolled myself on an online doctorate program from a Swiss University and I’m pursuing it at the comfort of my abode. On completion, it will add a prestigious feather to my hat, which otherwise wouldn’t have been possible without this...

Students are becoming more and more reliant on computers. What are some of the problems associated with reliance on computers, and what are some of the possible solutions?   Nowadays, pupils are highly dependent on technology such as computers and mobile phones. This essay will discuss one of the primary problems related to the dependence on computers and recommend a feasible solution.   Students’ unwarranted reliance on computers is leading to an arrest/apprehension of their cognitive abilities. According to a survey conducted during the academic session of 2018-19, it was observed that eighty percent of the pupils wholly depended on technology for calculating mathematical problems and to a great extent for research on matters related to subjects of study. This has consequently resulted in the impaired growth of intellectual faculties of learners.   A solution to this perturbing problem is that the school must conduct sessions on Vedic Maths for basic calcula...

Computers are being used more and more in education. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages and give your own opinion.   It is argued that the prolific use of technology is the new normal in the education system. This essay will firstly discuss students’ access to knowledge at the click of a button as the primary merit and secondly, outline the adverse effect on the health of students as the main disadvantage.   One of the main advantages of technology is to have all the information provided to you within seconds. The internet in all its wonder is an ocean where students can access knowledge at their fancy. For example, during project-based learning, pupils enjoy the advantage of using the internet and completing their work on time. This has resulted in making scholars responsible for the data which they accumulate and submit to their teachers, thus increasing the percentage of originality.   The main demerit of the excessive use of technology can lead to un...

Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighborhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?   It has always been a point of debate if high school pupils should contribute to the lesser privileged population in society through volunteer services. I strongly agree with that side of the debate which supports this notion of making social work a compulsory curriculum in high school. This essay will first look at building a sense of appreciation in young adults and then will elaborate on how this activity leads into the overall scheme in becoming an added resource contributing towards a nation’s growth.   It is imperative that children from the privileged corner of society look through the life of people who are less fortune, so that they understand how blessed they are and feel the responsibility towards communit...

Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighborhood or teaching sports to younger children).  To what extent do you agree or disagree?   It is argued that social welfare should be a mandatory part of secondary school curriculum. This essay agrees with the statement for it will generate the feeling of compassion in students. It will discuss how community work will hone the social skills of students and lead to a better work environment for them in the times to come.   Social skills are not only developed by interacting with fellow mates but also when the students engage in various activities at school. As it is a widely accepted postulation; human beings are social creatures and thus require human interaction. Indeed, unpaid community service boosts the skills of students. For example, I personally volunteered at an NGO for the disabled for four weeks ...

Computers are being used more and more in education. Some people say that this is a positive trend, while others argue that it is leading to negative consequences. Discuss both sides of this argument and then give your own opinion.   Technology is immeasurably and intricately intertwined in modern day pedagogy. A section of the populace believe that it brings forth positivity while the other hand; the contrarians argue that it is driving education towards undesirable outcomes. This essay agrees that computers is immensely beneficial for students . And, it will elaborate both points of view.   Technology in education has radically changed the means of teaching and has influenced students and teachers in many positive ways. By using this tool, they gain access to various sources of information and learning processes at the click of a button. It is therefore agreed that the application of computer sciences is highly beneficial in schooling. For instance, children can enjo...

Students are becoming more and more reliant on computers. What are some of the problems associated with reliance on computers, and what are some of the possible solutions?   The use of technology has increased manifold over the years. Students, who are the primary users of technology have everything at the click of a button. This essay will be discussing one of the problems and a probable solution which are connected to the dependence on computers.   Time spent on social media these days is the key problem, students spend an enormous amount of time on public platforms and communities using either their laptops or mobile phones. Pupils are often seen at various times of the day irrespective of their commitments glued to their visual devices, and in complete oblivion of their total lack for things happening around them. This has resulted in the poor development of a pupils mental and physical abilities. For example, the Institute for Genetic Mapping has called out to par...

Computers are being used more and more in education. Some people say that this is a positive trend, while others argue that it is leading to negative consequences. Discuss both sides of this argument and then give your own opinion.   Technology has gradually become the mainstay in classrooms these days for imparting instruction. Certain sections of society believe that this is an encouraging enterprise whilst the naysayers argue/claim that it is a bane. This essay supports and agrees with the view that the computer is nothing short of a miraculous indulgence in schooling. And, it will further elaborate on both points of view.     It is a proven fact that technology provides an ocean of information in just seconds. The internet alone today is the single most referenced repository of almost all the information that people look for in their daily lives without any due diligence of time, place and culture. Thus, it can be clearly interpreted from the above that comput...

Students are becoming more and more reliant on computers. What are some of the problems associated with reliance on computers, and what are some of the possible solutions?   Technology, particularly the computer in modern day education plays an extremely vital/pivotal role in developing occupational expertise and life skills. However, there are pros and cons associated with this essential component of our socio-economic infrastructure. This essay will outline the main problem and give a possible solution.   The main problem with using the computer for extended periods of time is that it brings upon us lifestyle and sedentary occupational diseases. Immobility is induced by such occupations that it warrants a person to be stuck and to stay put at one place with a much hinger intensity of concentration than it would be required in an occupation where there is movement. This results in the body having to adjust to various physiological and chemical imbalances and inequitie...

Some people think watching movies is a waste of time. Do you agree or disagree? Some sections of society argue that spending time on movies is a futile activity. I completely disagree with the given statement. This essay will outline the following reason for my disagreement. Firstly, movies provide the backdrop for a fertile and creative mind and secondly it is the nursery for imagination .   We all need a setting to help us cultivate our inventiveness and there’s nothing better than the movies which provides this in ample quantity. This environment of make believe is the perfect Utopia than enables a productive mind to see beyond the horizons of contemporary possibilities and breaks the boundaries to go further and further. For example, the movie Avatar is a classic example of the possibilities of human imaginative fancy. The detail which created such an illusion that it left movie goes with the belief that a parallel life of such magnitude and dimensions can exist. ...

Many employers are now offering their employees the option to work from home. As a result, employees will have much more flexible working hours in the future. Is this a positive or negative development?   Many companies these days are seen presenting their workforce with the choice of working from home and such a trend in the working lifestyle will open up and offer employees the elasticity required to balance work and life in the future. This essay will elaborate on two points; The main advantage being increased productivity and the main disadvantage being the difficulty in focusing on work. Uninterrupted and away for the office web of formal and informal interjections affords an employee with the opportunity of increasing their productivity. This means that a person has more time to focus on his task at hand versus having to worry about the constant interjections experienced while working in an office setting. For example, it is common for boxers to go to camps at such a pl...

Paying all the workers the same salaries in a company promotes harmony and respect amongst colleagues. To what extent do you agree or disagree?   There is a section of the working populace who believes that disbursing equal remuneration is what keeps employees cordial and reverent towards each other and consequently attached to an organisation. I completely disagree with this notion and this essay will elaborate on the following as my reasons. Firstly, there will be a very cold and dissatisfied workforce and secondly since the economics is about being equal there will be no motivation.   To be giving every employee the same pay is like feeding an elephant and a goat the same amount of fodder. One of them is not going to have a stomach full or one of them is going to waste it. This clearly illustrates the imbalance between two differently abled entities. A similar imbalance at the workplace will create numerous problems for the staff and the management which in turn wi...

  Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighborhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree?   Voluntary work should be an essential part of the senior secondary curriculum. I completely agree with the above-mentioned statement on charity work at pre college years. This essay will further discuss humanity as my first point and social responsibility as my second point for virtues that students will learn about from community service.   Education is not entirely about academic pursuits but the development of life skills and worldly wisdom; with humanity being the most important one among them. This should by all means be made available to students in their mid and late teens. Creating time for community welfare will help pupils learn and imbibe one of the greatest human virtues – humanity; and this will enab...

Should criminals be punished with lengthy jail terms or re-educated and rehabilitated using community service programmes before being reintroduced to the society.   I firmly believe that law enforcing agencies of a state should bear in mind the motive and degree of the offence, the circumstances in which it was committed, the age and the character of the alleged person (including the antecedents) while awarding a punitive course to the offender. I would elaborate further on my thesis based on the following reasons. Firstly, rehabilitation is the way forward and secondly that the retributive theory practised by many nations across the world is a faulty approach to assimilating people in society.   Rehabilitation is not only a medical requirement but a social requirement too. Every form of discomfort or derailment consequently warrants rehabilitation and that is the best course for a person to recuperate and get back to their new self. Rehabilitation is a process which e...

A lot of places in the world rely on tourism as a main source of income. Unfortunately, tourism can also be a source of problems if it is not managed correctly. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of tourism in the modern world. Do you think that benefits of tourism outweigh its drawbacks?   It is a known fact that tourism is very crucial for world economy and it is a very important industry of the 21 st century. Tourism is a double literally a double-edged sword. This essay will outline the diversities that tourism offers as the main merit and the loss and vandalism of old monuments as the main disadvantage. India as a nation is a very diverse state with diametrically opposite castes, creeds, races, sexual orientations, socio-economics, physical statistics and ideologies. India is a completely heterogeneous nation state and it is indeed different from almost all the homogeneous countries across the world. There is no particular caste, creed or race in India. For exa...

According to a recent study, the more time people use the internet, the less time they spend with real human beings. Some people say that instead of seeing the internet as a way of opening up new communication possibilities world- wide, we should be concerned about the effect this is having on social interaction. How far do you agree with this opinion?   Recent studies have shown that the usage of the internet has had negative impacts on human relations, and this has visibly marred the spontaneous interactions that humans as a social being are accustomed to.   I completely agree with the above stated opinion and this essay with outline the following reasons for my agreement; firstly, poor social time and secondly lifestyle induced physical anomalies have started to plague the human species.   The computer instead of opening up a breadth of opportunities for humans to profit from has as a matter of fact conversely affected their social time. People these days h...
