Success is often measured in terms of how much money somebody has earned. Do you think wealth is a good measure of success? How else could we measure whether somebody is successful or not?

In most cases, people tend to direct others as successful individuals once they have plenty of money. In my take, I do not think wealth can be used as a measurement of success. However, there are a variety of merits that can be used to know whether a person is successful or not such as good relations with relatives along with the level of education that a person has.

It is argued by some that wide circulation of information to its maximum possible extent in science, research, business and educational spheres is beneficial, while others are of the opinion that some of the knowledge is highly sensitive for sharing freely. In my opinion, not every piece of the information should be made public as it may still be under study and the authenticity might have to not be established or it is too sensitive, however proven facts may be made available for the welfare of mankind.

In some countries, there has been an increase in the number of parents who educate their children themselves at home instead of sending them to school. Do you think the advantages of this overweigh the disadvantages?

In recent times, providing proper education to children has become a major concern for many parents. A number of parents consider home-based education for their child as a better option than schooling. In my opinion, ensuring education to the children in the home itself by parents has indeed benefits. However, letting these children without exploring the various facilities which would always be provided by the schools and institutes cannot be considered as a beneficial one. This essay will address why the drawbacks of home education outweigh the benefits and will provide an abundance of examples to support this position.

Some people hold the view that children's development, physically and mentally, is influenced mostly by their parents.

Judging on a detailed analysis of both sides, I think each side is extremely significant in the process of a child’s growth.

It is natural process of animal species to become extinct (e.g. dinosaurs, dodos, etc.). There is no reason why people should stop this from happening. Do you agree or disagree?

In the human world, it is an unavoidable consequence of the extinction of species. Some people argue that humans should not put an act of preventing this.

Scientists and technology experts seem to be more valued by modern society than musicians and artists. To what extent do you agree?

Over the past few years, debates have been raised over whether the public has shifted attention to scientists and experts than people working in the artistic fields. Even though there are certain judgments between people, I am deeply convicted that each aspect plays a different role in society and these two should not be put on any pedestals.

The given notion suggests that everyone has the right to enjoy similar benefits during their employment including equal vacation time or at least team members from different departments must be offered an equal level of time off. However, I believe employers should treat their workers equally, I agree that it could make companies suffer from a loss of profit.
