Most of the recruiters often ask their applicants certain questions related to their personal interests and background. Many of us believe

such

questions are related to the jobs we are applying for, while some believe they are irrelevant. In my view, it is important that the hiring organisation knows our personal details as long as they use them appropriately. It is important for the organisation to collect

such

data about their prospective employees. If the hiring manager knows that one is married, or enjoys a hobby, it helps them in decisions

such

as deployment of that particular staff to remote locations or to projects that might be related to their interests.

For instance

, if your recruiter knows you love soccer and there is a project in the company that involves visits to soccer stadiums,

then

it helps him in involving you in that project as it motivates you and

also

, benefits the company. Some might argue that

such

details about oneself is not relevant when it come to the hiring organisation.

This

is because of the fear of misuse of

such

data and possible problems that might arise if they are not maintained confidentially.

For example

, if your personal information is accessible to someone who is trying to compete with you, he/ she might use it against you. To conclude, personal details of the applicant play an important role in decision making for the employers.

Although

, they can be a threat to the job seeker at times, if not managed confidentially.

It is important for children to learn the different between right and wrong at an early age. Punishment is necessary to help them learn this distinction. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? What sort of punishment should parents and teachers be allowed to use to teach good behavior to children?
Nowadays, children are becoming more and more uncotrollable, mainly because of the new laws that extensively protect them. In my honest view, I believe children should be punished for doing mischief. This will help to groom them into responsible individuals. The best ways to correct them would be through beating, grounding and rewarding.
