Under British and Australian laws a jury in a criminal case has no access to information about the defendant's past criminal record. This protects the person who is being accused of the crime. Some lawyers have suggested that this practice should be changed and that a jury should be given all the past facts before they reach their decision about the case. Do you agree or disagree?

Finalizing a verdict to a culprit is absolutely challenging when a judge has limited information. A stellar example of such is the British and Australian laws whose jury have no access to the previous criminal record of the defendant. The aforementioned is thought to be a form of security in the perspective of a suspect. However, a comment coming from some professionals in the field of law has been generated -- the said practice must be altered in which before the responsible individual give his/her final decision, past information must be provided. My conviction agrees with the latter, although some may ask, “Do humankind need to know about the history in order to understand the present?” Hence, I will discuss in this essay my point of view.

Due to so many young people dropping out from schools, the rate of unemployment is increasing and it affects our society in different ways.

An increasing number of young students drop out from schools, sometimes to earn to support the family and sometimes due to reasons not rational, and this has a severe consequence in a long run. Not always those students are to blame and this is not the context of this discussion. Rather the state should revise the way it runs schools and arrange re-schooling facilities and the school authority should arrange some paid jobs for needy students to mend this situation.

Digital communication technology, such as email. instant messaging and social media, has improved communication and connection between people. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Although, advances in technology have made it easier for people to communicate around the globe, but it does not make better relations among them. I think, modern technological inventions have positive effects, but people have made it negative, because they do not use it in an appropriate way.

Financial management is a term that is becoming increasingly popular.
