With the development of social media more and more youngsters are allowed access to the internet in order to meet and chat with friends, which can lead to potentially dangerous situations. What solutions can you suggest to deal with the problem?

Social media is a great way to connect with not only your friends and family, but also with peers and professionals around the world. It helps us build relationships, discover new friendships and even pave the way for many new opportunities career-wise. Especially in today's isolated society plagued with the pandemic when we as human beings are forced to retract more and more into our shells, social media helps us remain active within our communities, eliminating the loneliness that pursues. But like many things, social media is a double-edged sword. The manner in which it is used determines whether it becomes a tool or a weapon against oneself. For example, social media does not dictate nor control the activity of its users so that any individual, regardless of their age, likes and dislikes can access it. And also due to the fact that there exists little to no control over verifying the identity of its users, many people also tend to create fake profiles under which they exhibit ...

The development of tourism contributed to English becoming the most prominent language in the world. Some people think this will lead to English becoming the only language to be spoken globally. What are the advantages and disadvantages to having one language in the world?

It is thought by some people that English, which is now the most widely spoken language in the world, may one day predominate over all other languages and result in their eventual disappearance. Having one language would certainly aid understanding and economic growth but there will also be some drawbacks. One evident benefit to having one global language is that it would enable greater understanding between countries. In other words, if everyone spoke one language, there would be complete understanding between not only countries but all people throughout the world which would promote learning, the flow of information and ideas. Another reason that one language would be advantageous is that it would help economic growth.
