Do you think this is a positive or a negative development? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.
In contemporary word, a trend towards urbanism in the society is noticable. More and more people are leaving the rural areas and are accomodating in the cities. I strongly consider it as a negative phenomenon as it is a detriment to argiculture as well as over-populating the urban areas.

Some think that politicians should always be honest while others feel that there are times when they must lie. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion
People argue that individuals in political roles can occasionally lie when doing so is necessary for their country or must be all the time honest with society. The first group believes that politics is not a ground to show off the high-value traits and sometimes covering the truth is the best way to protect a nation. However, the second group consider clarity as the primary criterion for a politician. In my opinion, being honest all the time and have the skill to manage the hard situations is better than trying to hide the facts that one day will definitley reveals.
