It is important for children to learn the difference between right and wrong. Purnishment is important to help them learn this distinction. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? What sort of purnishment should Patent and teachers be allowed to use to teach good behaviours to children?
Teaching juveniles the ways to differentiate the right actions from the wrong ones is crucial. Some believe that punishing children would be an effective method to educate them about both concepts. In my opinion, even though punishment might help children learn about their actions' consequences, there are more beneficial measures. However, certain disciplinary actions can be taken by parents and teachers to reform the behaviors of children such as making them do volunteer work and not letting them attend classes for a certain period.

There are many extinct animal species in the world. Some people think we should protect animals from dying out, while others believe we should spend more time on problems of human beings. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
In contemporary society, the rate of extinction of animal and plant species has consistently been a topic of interest among the masses. Some individuals champion the notion that protecting endangered animals is now more important than any other point, while a significant number of others posit that we should put human activities' problems first. Although I do acknowledge that both side have their merits, I lean more towards the former.
