These days news channels lay more emphasis on problematic and crisis

instead

of the positive aspects of the world.

This

Linking Words

way has been opposed by the people, they think that negative news may have detrimental effects on society and people's mental health. In my opinion, I believe that

this

Linking Words

could have both positive and negative consequences. On the one hand, media creates awareness among citizens of the global problems by bringing them in the limelight.

For instance

Linking Words

, difficulties faced by poor people especially children due to lack of accessible basic resources and facilities. If media will stop broadcasting these issues nobody will ever come to know about the harsh situations from which people are going through. In fact, the more media will broadcast the serious issues the more people and the government will get serious towards dealing with them. It was media because of which people came to know about the global warming and exploitation of natural resources. Resulting which most people took an initiative on individual levels by reducing the use of diesel vehicles.

On the other hand

Linking Words

, privatisation has reduced the reliability of information communicated by the media. Some news channels have been taken over by politicians and corporates.

As a result

Linking Words

, the information shown on these channels is more politically centred involving criminal activities and fights and arguments between the parties.

This

Linking Words

kind of activities adversely affects people's mental level and they resist watching the news.

Furthermore

Linking Words

, violence and crime involving activities might have a negative influence on youngsters. As they usually find these type of news attractive and amusing, and it's easy for them to get involved in

such

activities. To conclude, media is the only source of information for individuals and

although

Linking Words

showing problematic content have several negative results, I still believe

this

trend is beneficial and have more positive consequences than the negatives ones.

It is important for children to learn the difference between right and wrong at an early age. Punishment is necessary to help them learn this distinction. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? What sort of punishment should parent and teacher be allowed to use to teach good behavior to children?
Even though I agree that punishment is sometimes necessary to teach a lesson to a child, I still think there should be boundaries applied to what kind of punishment is allowed for parents or teachers. For example, people should not use violence as a form of punishment for their children. Unfortunately, this seems to be a normal case where parents or teachers use some violent way as a punishment without considering that this type of punishment undoubtedly will affect the child's mental health. In my opinion, it will also teach children that it is okay to use violence as long as you think that it is right.

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic: Consumers are faced with increasing numbers of advertisements from competing companies. To what extent do you think are consumers influenced by advertisements? What measures can be taken to protect them? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.
There is a race between advertising agencies in producing commercials leading to a rising amount of content shown in multimedia. Although purchasers can decide based on their will, I fairly assert that advertisement passively affects their intentions to a certain extent. Therefore, the government should limit this development according to the negative impacts it delivers.
