Television is a powerful media to distribute any kind of information. A variety of purposes can be slipped into different types of programs. From TV series, reality shows, news programs, movies, music and so on. It is agreed that despite the distinct clothing of these entertainments, an educational aim has to be one of its core values.

It is more important to spend public money on promoting a healthy lifestyle in order to prevent illness than to spend it on treatment of people who are already ill. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Arguably, it is commented whether the world-ruling power should use public funds sensitizing and mobilizing citizens to avert sickness or it should allocate the same money to individual cures. Personally, I strongly agree with the view since it is worthy of preventing rather than treating. However, a cure is less spending than prevention. This essay will shed light on both sides of the view and provide evidence to prove the arguments.

Student learn far more with their teachers than other sources (the Internet or television). To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Teachers are considered the reliable source of learning for scholars in contrast to media and the internet. However, I partially agree with the statement because both play a significant role in developing children's personalities. Since, in the past days teachers were the only reliable source of education as they were role models, whereas, the internet and television are modern inventions and contain a lot of knowledge. I will discuss this in my essay below.
