Some people believe that it is best for people to be honest at all times. Others, however, believe that it is occasionally necessary to lie. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

#people #times

Good is different from being right and to be true is the good traits of a person. Some, disagree with

this

, they would prefer not telling the truth, sometimes to have a good outcome. In

this

essay, I will tackle both sides and give my own perspective.

Firstly

, honest people experienced not just good events in their lives but

also

struggles. There are times they get tempted to lie for the sake of others.

For example

, your friends stole something in the shop and the crew somehow saw it, you knew that if you tell the truth, your friend will go to prison or either pay more than what he got.

Furthermore

, if you tell what's going on, you are helping the owner and especially, you are helping your friend to realise not to do it again because it is bad.

Secondly

, others said white lie is fine to help some friend not to get caught, maybe they could change, they just need some time to think and ponder.

For instance

, you make mistakes in your workplace and telling something different from what is happening, thinking you could make it right

time around,

thus

it doesn't help you to do better.

Instead

, tell the truth and face the consequence of your mistakes.

On the other hand

, all of us makes mistakes and it is normal that trials come but to lie is not the solution of it,

instead

, be honest all the time. In conclusion, not all people are honest, we have evil inside us because it is our nature to do sin but to pursue purity could make the world better.

Write about the following topic: In some countries children have very strict rules of behaviour, while in other countries they are allowed to do almost anything they want. To what extent should children have to follow rules? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
In some countries, kids are made to follow a set of strict rules. whereas in other countries, they are allowed to do whatever they want. In my opinion, children should follow a set of rules. However, these rules should not make them emotionally broken.

As science and technology contribute most to the development of society, science students should get more financial support from the government than students in other fields (e.g. business, language). To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is often argued that science students should receive more financial support from governments than students in other fields, such as business, language or art, because science and technology contribute the most to the development of society. I strongly disagree with this view, and I believe that all fields of study deserve equal funding and recognition from the authorities. In this essay, I will explain why I hold this opinion and provide some examples to support it.

The internet has become profoundly efficient and popular that people choose it as a platform to learn. Some believe that it would eventually replace the need for books. Do you agree or disagree?
E-learning has always been a popular platform throughout time and still gaining more popularity over time. Whereas, the book has always left a positive impact on readers. Always, there is a debate on this, with time online medium availability changed the way of educating themselves, they are shifting more to the internet, instead of using books as means of education, due to which some people think that it will completely absolute the demand of physical entity. In my opinion, disagree that the idea of getting e-learning would ultimately replace books. This essay will explain that physical entities are equally important.

Some feel that governments should prioritize healthcare instead of other important areas. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Health preservation plays a vital role in human life and the government should take it into consideration. It is suggested that people's health protection is the most important aspect of people's life. While I firmly believe there are several sectors such as environmental conservation and education which are essential all over the world and have mutual effects on each other as the government should keep a balance among them.
