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 enable them to grow up into dutiful, responsible and mindful civil citizens. For instance, I personally help my neighbors who are above eighty years old when they fall ill and this gives me a sense of community and I feel extremely content and grateful that I am in a position to help somebody.

 

Social responsibility is a life skill that teaches individuals a sense of community and belonging. It furthermore shows us how to serve not only fellow humans but also nature concurrently. It helps in the creation of human capital and paves the way for a sustainable future. Thus, a socially responsible person tends to contribute to society, and does this with the help of others in a harmonious way.

For example, I personally take part in community plantation drives and encourage others to plant trees, for we equally are accountable to nature too.

 

To summarize, secondary education should ensure that students allocate adequate time to community service, because this will not only develop a sense of contentment and well-being for the pupils, but also enable them to excel in their careers.

Paying all the workers the same salaries in a company promotes harmony and respect amongst colleagues. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

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...

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?

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...
