Social networking sites,

for instance

Facebook

, are thought by some people to have detrimental effects on individuals as well as the

society

and some local communities.

However

, while I believe that

such

sites are beneficial to the individuals, I agree that they have a damaging effect on local communities. With regards to individuals the impact that social media has had on individuals has got clear advantages.

, the crowd inside local communities are no longer forming or showing any close or supportive relationships.

Furthermore

society

as a whole is becoming increasingly disjointed and fragmented as people are showing more interest in people they have never met face to face and who they are not going to meet in the future. To conclude,

although

social networking sites have brought people closer together they have not had the same effect on individuals or local communities. Local communities should do more to try and involve more local people in local activities in order to promote the future of community life

Some people believe that allowing children to make their own choices on everyday matters (such as food, clothes and entertainment) is likely to result in a society of individuals who only think about their own wishes. Other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Criticisms are concerned that children will be endangered if they are given freedom of choice, while others believe that they will be better equipped to handle consequences in the future of their acts if given such freedom. From my perspective, I opine that children should be allowed to make their own decisions about personal matters.

News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in newspapers. What factors do you think influence these decisions? Do we become used to bad news? Would it be better if more good news was reported?
In most media houses, the decision of what content is to be broadcasted on TV or printed in daily newspapers lies squarely in the hands of news editors. Criteria and factors such as attention-worthiness, political relevance and sensationalism largely influence these decisions. As it is mostly bad news that fits into these criteria, we tend to get used to bad news because of the frequency of it being broadcast. In my opinion, more good news should be reported, even if it's only for the sake of balance and the psychological effect.

In many countries, people working in sport and entertainment earn much more money than professionals like doctors, nurses, and teachers. Why do you think this happens in some societies? Do you consider it good or bad?
It is true that sportsmen and entertainers are generally richer than professional workers such as doctors, nurses and teachers. This is due to the fact that these celebrities attract a large following and therefore can earn money in many ways. I personally believe that this wealth gap is justified by their hard work and willingness to deal with public pressure.

Reading books keeps a person’s mind active, whereas watching films and television is passive and does not require a person to use their imagination. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Some people enjoy reading more than watching televation because they think that reading gives them lots of room to imagine, whereas watching films does not provide the same. I strongly agree with this view because we are left to ourselves to visualise while reading which is unlike television from which we can see and hear.
