Human intervention has affected the environment on large basis. However, some parts of society opine that major steps should be taken to protect nature by the present generation and that can largely benefit the younger generation.

Most high-level positions in companies are filled by men even though the workforce in many developed countries is more than 50 per cent female. Companies should be required to allocate a certain percentage of these positions to women. To what extent do you agree?

Women are a very important component of any society, playing multiple roles ranging from homemakers to business executives. They have proved their abilities in all the fields they entered. Organizations that encourage female staff to work equally as males are respected everywhere in the world. Although allocating a quota to the female workforce is still not the best idea as anyone competent applying for a position, senior or junior should be given an equal chance to prove themself. In my opinion fixing a number to the employee ratio is not very suitable as this would restrict the HR staff from hiring the best talent for any firm.

Country's open their culture to the world with their artists and sports person because they have no language. Therefore, I definitely don't find it over expense to investing money for art.
