Nowadays media should include more good news in their publications. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience

It is undeniable that mass media play an indispensable role in our daily life. Given

this

background, there is an opinion that news ought to disseminate more positive information among people worldwide. I disagree with

this

notion. Loss of awareness and valuable details are the two cardinal reasons which will be analysed in the subsequent paragraphs to endorse my opinion.

To begin

with, media like TV, Internet are the most popular source of facts, and confining the content of media to good news have significant detrimental impacts on the surroundings.

Firstly

, crime reporting by media contribute to people's awareness of crime prevention.

For example

, pick-pocketing in Delhi metro or in crowded place has plummeted considerably.

This

is because of the reason that the media have made people aware about the crime committing around the world.

Hence

, people have become more cautious about their belongings in the crowded place.

Therefore

, if the media shows happy events, perhaps, society might overlook by the incidents happening around them.

Secondly

, Saturation coverage

also

covers knowledge about the natural disasters. If press, starts covering positive news, people will lose a valuable information for the survival of natural calamities like earthquake, flood, cyclone. The recent study in Japan, showed that, more than three quarters of the respondents answered that the mass media are the reliable source of information when a disaster hits in 2018.

Hence

such

details can be missed by the people and can cause severe blunder. To conclude, media is the primary source of communication to broadcast details globally, which could be beneficial for the public. Covering only positive things would adversely impact society in negligence of vital details.

Hence

, I believe that the press should give priority to important cases that are inclined to the safety of the society rather than focusing on reporting positive events.

Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which causes many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree?
In the last decades, processed food has increased significantly which contains lots of food additives such as high level sugar and so on. It is widely believed that, rising prices would be the best solution to tackle the health problems that could be caused by such ingredients. In my view, this can be an alternative but people should be educated from young ages to have healthy diets which make their appetite opposite of consuming high level sugar. In this essay, I will extend my opinion.

Some people believe that not all criminals should be kept in prison, but that some of them should be allowed to do unpaid work to help the community. Do you agree or disagree?
It will be a fantastic approach if the government make categories of criminals and find out some of them who did not made any serious crime such as murder. Since people have different views a majority of the masses are in favour to release for volunteering job but others believe that unpaid work for the community is a good way and I agree with those who are in favour of providing jobs to offenders.

Education of young people is highly prioritized in many countries. However, educating adults who cannot write or read is even more important and governments should spend more money on this. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Education is the modern currency in order to sustain itself in the developing world. Educating only the youth is somehow not the solution to developing a country, in my ,opinion policymakers should focus more on enhancing the elder section of society and encourage them to live independently.
