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.

There is a debate concerning about the better work whether undertaking in the same entreprise for the lifetime or occupying distinct organisations. This essay discusses both sides of this contentious argument and then I will give my own perpectives.
If someone is determined to labour in one place, it would ensure their long career and the easiness reaching better position one day. The company certainly pay attention for the loyal employees and the ones whose understanding their works better anyone else, knowing how to develop their business and/or products, and strengthening the weakness of their organisation. All of these are only obtained by diving the duties for a long time and then someone will become an experts of this kind of job. This expetises lead to higher position, albeit perhaps in long way to go. Unfortunately, this condition might bring a person in lacking experiences from another abilities and situations that would be a challenge for him or her if their office had got a bankrupt suddenly.
On another side, the research shows that people who are changing their occupation twice in a minimum can take a multitasking job and survive in facing some unexpectedly issues rather than those who only have one position in their life. For instance, an actuary has a job in a private company taking care of life insurance before she moved into a government institution that tackle some medical and health issues in which threaten lives. She should hand on experiences regarding all the calculation about risk-life theories in real life, whereby it can be only acquired from the company which she undertook beforehand. However, the drawback of displacing the organisations over and over again is the workers should start their career from zero in their new institution and might bring a perfect designation that is not in short time.
To conclude, both of the constant or altered organisations will give each own beneficial and detrimental conditions. In my opinion, it is a good idea and recommended to take chances looking perfect organisations and if it have fitted into what I am looking for, I prefer to immediately decide to settle down for long time until the time of retired.
