Agree Disagree -Some people believe laws change human behaviour.

21. Some people believe laws change human behaviour. Do you agree with it?

Laws are made by the government to ensure peace and harmony among people. But as it is said rules are meant to be broken .

Firstly , wearing helmets by bicycle and two wheeler riders is made compulsory by the government . This rule is made so that if they meet with an accident their heads are protected. Similarly , wearing a seatbelt while driving is also mandatory . For long these rules existed but not followed always . In recent times when fines were introduced for breaking these laws , we now see everybody obediently following the same rules.

Secondly , punishments like imprisonment , life sentence , death sentence etc  are made so that it acts as a deterrent for not indulging in illegal activities . Hence , people due to fear of these punishments abstain from activities that may disturb the laws in a society. In the absence of these punishments people would have done anything they desire at the cost of the peace of  the people around them .

Thirdly , rules are made for appropriate vehicle parking . Especially in and around shopping centres and theatres where there is a crowd of people visiting the place, wrong parking can result in a chaotic situation causing a traffic of vehicles on the road . But since fines are applied to wrong parking , drivers see to that they park their vehicles in parking areas only.

To conclude , I strongly believe law changes human behavior . They are needed for the smooth running and functioning of the country .

Opinion -Education is the biggest barrier in my learning - Einstein. What do you mean by this? And do you think Einstein was correct in saying that.

37. Education is the biggest barrier in my learning - Einstein. What do you mean by this? And do you think Einstein was correct in saying that.

To begin with, education grooms an individual into a desirable person. It gives a person the knowledge to differentiate between the good and bad. It promotes logical thinking and planning which is a need of today’s competitive world. Most importantly, it makes an individual with degrees marketable and opens avenues of employment. Hence, to get the desired job, one needs to be educated.

Nevertheless, education can be a barrier in the life of many. It has become so competent that children study for hours after school and hence do not get time to play or learn other activities. Due to lack of time to play they do not learn social skills like making friends, team spirit, sharing. Singing ,dancing and painting are activities that help an individual develop confidence, overcome stage fear, cognitive skills etc that education does not teach them. Secondly, education teaches a person to think in a particular frame. He loses his problem solving capacity as he follows the rules and concepts taught to him. Furthermore, many people feel dissatisfied with their work. For example, engineers who are interested in painting, are not able to pursue it as a career due to lack of time in developing the skills as today’s education permits no leisure time.

To conclude, I  agree with the statement made by Einstein- Education is the biggest barrier in my learning. The government today should improvise the educational system so that children can make complete utilization of their skills and develop new skills.
