Some people say it is important to keep your home and your workplace tidy, with everything organised and in the correct place. What is your opinion about this?

It is said that keeping spaces such as houses and offices organised and clean is relevant. I agree that a certain level of organization helps to optimize someone's day and a clean space provides health and creates a pleasant environment. But it is necessary not to exaggerate because in doing that people can behave obsessively about the organization and consequently, one can become annoying and counter-productive.

Although it is sometimes believed that universities emphasize on helping students to attain a good position in companies after graduation, others think that they can do a lot more than that by benefiting both the student and the community.

In the era of the digital and social media channel, a lot of recreational programs and entertaining contents have been becoming prevalent for audiences to unwind after hectic schedules.

It has been a recent trend that individuals decide to spend their vacation visiting different places either in domestic or overseas.

Nowadays, many people use the Internet to get medical advice instead of going to see a doctor. Why is this? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

An important parcel of society is now using technology to find out answers for their medical problems. This is happening partially because of the trend of searching for answers about everything on the internet as well as the difficulty in finding affordable options for healthcare in some countries. In my opinion, this is a bad development since the internet can not take into consideration the implicit health conditions of patients.

Due to the widespread presence of mass media, many purposes the use of this media coverage is to raise viewers’ awareness of social affairs by integrating educational content into popular TV shows.
