In the future all cars, buses and dricks will be driverless. The only people traveling inside these vehicles will be passengers. Do you think the advantages of driverless vehicles outweigh the disadvantages?

In the modern world, vehicles without drivers have a variety of effects on society that could have both negative and positive effects on our physiological state.

This means that advantages of driverless cars are greater than the drawbacks.

Some people say that completing University education is the best way to get a job. On the other hand, other people think that getting experience and developing soft skills are important Discuss both sides and give your opinion

Whether degrees or soft skills are more essential in order to get a decent job is a highly debatable discussion point. From this writer's perspective, while soft skills and experience are required to be successful in the business field, academic jobs can guarantee people an academic job and may unobtainable knowledge outside of college. It must be understood that degrees can help people to get academic jobs such as doctors or engineers which play an unreplaceable role in society. In other words, being the core of a society means that those jobs always demand a high number of new manpower and never can be replaced. However, on the grounds that academic jobs need precise accuracy, only people who are specially trained through university can take it, making higher education the only way to get an academic position.
