Some people think that lawbreakers should be sent to prison. However, others think that better talents among those should be made to work. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Because obeying a law is one of the keystones in civil governments, who runs counter to this is punished by governmental institutions. Discussions are held about being in prison or alternative punishment which would be better for person who commited a crime. This essay will discuss the debate, and give a concluding view.
On the one hand, as who support the sending lawbreakers to prison, one of the significant factors is security of mankind. If offenders were in freedom after their punishment, they would be dangerous for others too. For example, statistical results show us because of not being busted lawbreakers can carry out new crimes again. A second factor is regeneration of criminals. After sending to prison they face-to-face some restrictions which are important to form their positive opinions, and all of these limitations are able to help to change their future life. For instance, because of not encountering some restraints lawbreakers, most of which were put to prison by courts, try not to commit an offence again.
However, opponents think that chance must be given also offenders. People, who are criminal, can regenerate without prison sentence, because this so-called unexpected compassion of government to them would be impact on their behavior positively.
To conclude, sending to prison or alternative punishment have to depend on type of crimes. If a crime was petty, governmental institutions should not receive lawbreakers imprisonment, on the contrary, if a crime was violent, offender must be put to prison.

Nowadays, schools in various parts of the world report that students tend to have behavioural problems. Unfortunately, this will make it harder for schools to educate students as problematic behaviours are likely to interfere with the education process.
There are some reasons as to why students behave inappropriately. Firstly, the way society works these days affect students’ behavioural patterns. For instance, parents might spend more time at work than at home and as a result, children lack parental guidance, not knowing how they are supposed to behave. This, in turn, is likely to cause them to have behavioural problems. Secondly, such behaviours might be caused by external influences, such as internet and television. Students, for example, might watch TV shows that use a lot of violence. Therefore, they are likely to imitate in real life by being more aggressive and using more violence. After all, students, especially teenagers, are easily affected by external parties.
In order to counter such problem, teachers should be friendly while still maintaining their professionalism. By being friendly, teachers might be able to understand students’ point of views and thus devise the right strategies to connect with them. This is because students are more likely to listen to teachers if they feel they can relate to the teachers and that the teachers understand them. Furthermore, it is also important to handle students patiently. This is really crucial since rough treatments might worsen their behaviours or encourage them to play truant. It is, therefore, wiser to be patient and guide students gradually to be well-behaved rather than using force to do so.
In conclusion, behavioural problems result from the way society works these days (e.g. lack of parental guidance) and external parties, such as bad influences from TV shows. Nevertheless, by understanding students’ views and guiding them patiently, students can gradually change and behave in a more appropriate manner.
