News about problems and emergencies is harmful to individuals and society. Do you agree or disagree?

Society

the statement. The two main reasons are it helps to create awareness among individuals and it makes the

responsible as a whole. News is always criticized as being harmful and spreading terror and crimes in the

a conclusion may be the result of weak journalism and poor reporting of any particular event. If an event provokes or is deemed responsible for causing uproar and crime, it may be the insensitive handling of the incident by the media-persons. If we put aside
such
cases, I feel that reporting of problems and
emergency
situations can never be dangerous for the
society
. In fact,
such
news helps the general public to be aware and proactively protect oneself against
such
a situation. Be it

For example
, we often come upon the news of cheaters siphoning money out of the bank accounts of gullible customers. The modus operandi of these digital criminals is taking the customer into confidence and asking the OTP number received by the customer on their phone. But once these stories started doing rounds in

, all the nations would have suffered equally and for nations like India, where there is a high density of population in a very small area,
this
disease would have killed at an exponential rate.
Thus
we see that the positive effects of news clearly outweighs the negative sides.
Hence
, we can comfortably conclude that news reporting of emergencies and problems do not cause us as much harm as the lack of media would.

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
