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.

Opinion - Overpackaging

7. These days companies are selling their products by extra packing to attract the buyers.

However, I am unconvinced and feel that the consumers should avoid purchasing such products as it is a waste of money and resources.

Firstly, over packing of the goods increases its maximum retail price.Hence,although the company is spending on the packing,it is the  consumer who ls at loss as the company sells the product at a higher price than needed and recovers the money spent on its packing.It is the consumers who should realise this and avoid buying such items.

Secondly, people these days buy food products that can be consumed on the run. The plastic and paper that is used to wrap these goods are then thrown around the place resulting in environmental pollution .

On the other hand fast food franchisee use various attractive ways to pack their products which then lure the kids in buying them.Children form the major proportion of the consumers of these unhealthy foods. As a result of the consumption of these processed foods there is a rise in the number of children suffering from obesity,diabetes etc.

To conclude, I believe it is the responsibility of the consumers to refuse products that are overpacked as ultimately they are on the losing side. 

Opinion - Sports as hobby

16.Dangerous activities like extreme skiing, bungee jumping etc. and whether u support them or not

Many people like to take part in adventurous sports like extreme skiing , bunjee jumping , paragliding and many others. Although these seem to be exciting , they can be dangerous.

Today’s world has become very competitive and everybody is working hard to earn their daily bread and butter. This has made life monotonous and many people are suffering from boredom . Dangerous sports gives people a feeling of excitement  and adrenaline rush . This helps them to become refreshed and relieve work related stress . Furthermore , these kind of sports require the player to overcome certain hurdles which are similar to those faced by  individuals in their daily life. Hence , they believe it helps them solve the problems in life.

Nevertheless , how much ever fun they might seem to be , there are dangers associated with them too. Many a times these sports are life threatening and precautions need to be taken. One should make sure that he or she undergoes the necessary training before performing the sport. The trainer should be educated in that field and should be certified for the same. People medically unfit for such activities should avoid them as it may have dire consequences.

To conclude , I believe people should participate in dangerous sports as a hobby , but not at the cost of one’s life. If all the necessary precautions are taken these sports can be a good source of entertainment and refreshment .

Opinion - Marketing strategy for big companies

14. Marketing strategy for big companies should be placed on offer and discounts, and in what ways this can impact on their reputation

With globalization and rise of industries , the competition to be the best and on the top of the market has also increased . Companies use various methods and strategies to compete with each other. One of these measures is placing offers and discounts on their products. This essay will discuss the influence of this strategy on its reputation.

To begin with , discounts and offers placed on the products increase its sales . Many a times people buy products which are not required only because there is a discount on it. This helps the company to make the consumers aware of their product in the market. When a product is newly introduced in the market ,  a low price is quoted , so that the buyers give it a preference over the other known items . Once , the buyers are familiar with the product and the sales increase , the discounts are taken off. This is a very lucrative method used by the companies today.

Nevertheless , sometimes these strategies fail. Many times people doubt the quality of the products with offers . They think that the materials used to make those items are cheap and low quality and hence do not buy it although they are available at a very low cost than the other similar products. Furthermore , people buy these items only till the offers exist and once the actual price is quoted , they think it is highly priced and hence avoid buying it . Some consumers have a liking towards a particular company products and do not buy items from other companies . This results in loss to those industries which are selling their products with offers and discounts.

To conclude , although offers and discounts increase the sales of the products , companies should also think of its reputation. They should also develop other strategies to attract consumers.

Opinion - Large shopping malls are replacing small shops

9. Large shopping malls are replacing small shops. What is your opinion about this? Discuss with appropriate examples.

Shopping is an activity of everybody’s daily life. Be it groceries, clothings, or home products everyone of us visits shops. With the changing lifestyles , many  people prefer shopping in large malls than in small shops.

There are numerous advantages of large shopping malls. Firstly ,there are numerous shops and brands present under one roof. Hence, people can buy what ever they like at one stop. This is very convenient for those who are working as it saves a lot of their time. Secondly, there are built in parking spaces and thus people need not park their vehicles at a distance and walk to these shops.

Nevertheless, there are disadvantages of these malls too. Many people are tempted to buy things that are not required and hence increase their monthly expenditure. There are many fast food centres which lure children into eating unhealthy food. On holidays and weekends a lot of people visit malls due to which parking spaces are full. This results in parking of vehicles on roads or in front of other shops and houses resulting in traffic and disturbance to shop keepers as well as nearby residents. Local shopkeepers who earrn their daily bread and butter face a hard time as only a few customers buy products from their shops. This affects the local economy.

To conclude, there are benefits of having large shopping malls, but they do not outweigh the disadvantages and therefore I believe that large shopping malls should not replace small shops.

Opinion - Responsibility - The environment we are living in is in danger due to various problems

3. The environment we are living in is in danger due to various problems...so who do u think should be responsible to solve it? Is it the governments, organisation or each individuals?

Global warming is one of the most alarming issues affecting the entire world and implementing effective measures to curb this is imperative for the survival of the living.

 The major causes of global warming is the excessive emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and deforestation. Due to the dependence of man on vehicles that use fossil fuels the rate of air pollution has increased in the last decade. Home appliances like air conditioners and refrigerators release harmful gases in the atmosphere which is hazardous to the ozone layer. Industries too use fossil fuels and release toxic gases and wastes in the surroundings which has become an alarming concern as it is interfering with the fauna and flora. As a result of population explosion forests are being cut down for land and other resources. This is causing the carbon dioxide to remain in the atmosphere as trees are the major consumers of carbon dioxide.

However,under such circumstances it is the responsibility of the government , industries and us all to work together to save the planet. Government should pass laws that inhibit the release of the toxic wastes from industries into the surrounding and generate recycling processes. Use of vehicles could be discouraged by increasing taxes on vehicles and fuels. Government and non government organisations should work towards encouraging citizens towards planting trees. Industries could have a green belt around it. People should reduce the use of plastics.

To conclude, it is the responsibility of the humankind to take steps towards protecting the Earth from the ill effects of climate 

Opinion - regions affect successful persons.

2. Many people think regions affect successful persons. What is your opinion about native regions and accomplished person influence on the regions they belong to

Place and environment in which a person grows plays a vital role in his life. This essay will examine the impact of place where an individual grows on his achievements.

To begin with, rural or remote areas lack the facilities available to people living in cities and towns. For example, there is no electricity, water, libraries, medical infrastructure and educational institutes in villages. Due to the lack of these basic facilities, people living in these places face many difficulties in life. Although many have the desire to study, they feel handicapped as they do not have access to good schools and colleges around them. Very often they are poor and cannot afford moving to cities where they can pursue education. Due to the shortage of medical facilities, people suffer from diseases like tuberculosis, chickengunya, malaria etc. This has resulted in many untimely deaths and malnourishment cases.

To the contrary, cosmopolitan and metropolitan cities are well developed. They have the best facilities of health, education, housing, transport, electricity and water supply. This gives people living in cities, better opportunities to pursue their desires. Children who wish to study can complete their education in the best institutions. This helps them get jobs in various sectors of employment. Ultimately, they are capable of achieving greater things in life than the people in rural areas.

To conclude, I believe that the place in which an individual grew has an influence on his achievements. Therefore government should develop the infrastructure in the backward areas so that the country can make complete use of its resources and progress.
