In the modern world, people no longer need to use food or products from animals, such as medicine and clothing. Do you agree or disagree with that statement?
The argument over the use of animals to provide food, medicine, and clothing has been ongoing for years. Some people consider the killing of animals to produce food and other products to be unnecessary. In my view, I agree with this idea and will discuss several compelling reasons in this essay.

In many societies, there is a growing emphasis on individualism, with people prioritizing their personal goals and desires over collective interests. Is this is a positive or negative development?
Nowadays, in the majority of societies, the phenomenon of individualism is getting quite debatable as people are putting their personal issues on top of everything which has both benefited the societies with individual growth and shortened pressure on authorities and harmed them by economic decline and less social interaction.

Some people think that the teenage years are the happiest time of most people’s lives. Others think that adult life brings more happiness, inspite of greater responsibilities. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
It is often believed that people feel the happiest during their youth. However, some people are sceptical about this as the happiest feeling adults experience outweighs that of young adults despite their growing responsibilities. I partially support the former view, for more diverse experiences young people have regardless of an increasing sense of satisfaction among responsible adults.
