Politician private lives should not be published in newspapers.To what extend do you agree or disagree.

#politician #lives #newspapers
In today's society, a politician is as much a public figure as most Hollywood actors or actresses.
However
,
this
 is not a valid reason to expose a person's private life in mass media.
Therefore
, I strongly agree with
this
 idea. There has always been an unspoken rule within journalism, which draws the lines between ethical and unethical practices of a reporter.
Moreover
, The popularity of
such
 conduct has been on the rise since social media has been made a part of our everyday life.
As a result
, the level of intimacy has been blurred between our close friends and an internet personality – people no longer feel ashamed to pry into others' affairs even if it is unwanted.
Thus
, in
this
 day and age, any story that peels back the curtain on a public figure is consumed feverishly by the public. Reporters have felt pressured to compete with ever-increasing amount of information which bombards the average person on a daily basis. According to reports, there is a considerable drop in the limit of a reader's attention span in recent years. Nowadays, shock headlines are a marketing strategy that has become more a necessity. Publishing companies are looking for a way to grab readers attention quickly, by sacrificing the sanctity of journalism.
This
 is simply corporate greed; exploiting a human being for the sake of profits.
Such
 actions are unpardonable and shameful. In summary, there are few reasons to justify publishing private matters of a government official in the media. Most printing businesses are seeking to secure a quick turnover by using outrage and shock. Even when it comes at the expense of someone's misery.
Consequently
, I am in agreement with reserving a politician's privacy.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
