Governments give a lot of support to artists, even though some people think it is a waste of money that could have been used elsewhere. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Artists take a lot of money and opportunity from the government, while people think that with this money they can do useful things to develop cities. However, I believe that the situation of a country and people is more important than artists. On the one hand, artists make the country popular. They do a lot of concerts, and people enjoy it. They do songs or arts that have the possibility to strengthen traditions or the official language of the country. To make a song or art, they should have much money. For example, popular singer of Kazakhstan Dimash Qudaibergen made his country and the official language of his country much more popular than expected. Because of his voice, a lot of people of other countries tried to learn Kazakh language to sing like Dimash Qudaibergen. But it is obviously that he took a lot of support from the government before and after this historical event. However, this is rarely situation which was in Kazakhstan.

Some feel that it is impossible for a country to be economically progressive and environmentally friendly at the same time. Others disagree with this view. Discuss both points of view and give your opinion.
It is an irrefutable fact that economic and environmental growth is equally important for the development of any country.

However, I do agree with the latter statement, because I believe with effective policies government can make it possible. This essay will discuss both views along with examples in the upcoming paragraphs.

In the past, knowledge was stored in books. Today, people stored knowledge on the Internet. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?
The way of storing knowledge changed from books to the internet in the past decades. This led to the controversial issue debating on the topic whether the change of place where people stored their knowledge contributed to positive or negative outcomes. However, after a thorough consideration, though it provides some drawback, it is strongly believed that the beneficial parts should not be put down by any chance.

Some people believe that the best way to control accidents on city streets is to lower the speed limit but others think there are more important issues that need attention before roads can be safe.
There is a preponderance of evidence suggesting that by decreasing the level of accidents on city streets, some people believe that the best way to handle collisions is to mitigate the limit of speed. However, others think differently, saying that there are more contemporary solutions which need to focus on keeping safety for citizens. This essay attempts to debate both views and from my perspective, I side with the latter view.
