It is often argued that the

news

media, both digital as well as print, influence the minds of the citizens, and is a negative trend.

This

essay agrees with the statement because politicians influence the public through biased media, and students are fed with gossip

news

instead

of the important daily

news

Firstly

, some political parties misuse the

news

companies by hook or crook in their favour.

Moreover

, these political outfits ask

such

companies to telecast that information to the public

that is

politically beneficial, and

also

it works for the politicians indirectly during the campaign of the elections.

For example

, Fox

News

, the leading national channel in the US, was criticized by all nations for supporting and favouring the US president Donald Trump during his nomination for the

second

term.

Additionally

, due to

this

, the public would not be aware of the other side.

Secondly

, for television rating points

news

organizations give importance for crimes and gossips, depriving students with important

news

Furthermore

this

may affect their general knowledge, as children preparing for competitive examinations are dependent on the

news

media for the current affairs.

For instance

, recently almost all

news

channels in India ran the death of movie actor Sushant Singh for days, during which many people could have missed the vital

news

of the plane crash in Indonesia and floods in some parts of India. To conclude, I totally agree that some

news

organizations have negatively influenced the citizens, due to its biased views and political pressures, as well as the students waiting to improve their knowledge for clearing competitive exams.

Successful people try new things and take risks rather than only doing what they know how to do well.. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement.
It was late 2017. I was a high school senior. Four of us from the science club developed a raw working model of a Jet Engine for a science fair. While the other members of the group involved primarily on its fabrication, my role, given my penchant for physics, was specifically to research and build the theoretical model of the engine, and then make analytical assessment of its thrust, which I, in the hindsight, did exceptionally well for a high school student. I also served as the lead presenter in the fair. We won the People’s Choice Award, and my interest in Aerospace Engineering got cemented. At early 2018, I became the National Champion in Nepal Physics Olympiad, and it hugely boosted my confidence to succeed in a demanding undergraduate aerospace curriculum.
