The air we breathe has a major impact on our health and the environment. However, the air pollution is constantly growing and at current levels it can be fought only globally. That is to say, individual efforts to improve air quality will not give any results, and it's solely responsibility of our governments to reduce air pollution. Do you agree or disagree?

Prison is the common way in most countries try to solve the problem of crime. However, a more effective solution is to provide people with a better education. Do you agree or disagree?

For many centuries now, prisons have been one of the major known outcomes for most of the crimes globally. It has been a long time that there have been heated arguments and discussions on how to reduce crime in the society. The discussion vacillates between whether education or imprisonment can help in reducing crime rates. The advocates of education believe that it can help people realize their actions and its implications and help in curbing crime rates whereas the opponents categorically opine that nothing other than the harsh treatment in prison can help bring a change in the offenders. However, I believe that education can contribute to reducing the crime rates because when I recall the last couple of decades, it reminds me of the fact that the crime rates have decreased and this is linked to the fact that the literacy percentage globally has seen a rise in the same time.

Nowadays, few countries are facing challenges in putting criminals behind the bars as the crime rate has increased overwhelmingly whereas there are countries with almost empty prisons.
