Some think scientists should be allowed to send messages into space to communicate with other life forms while others believe this is too dangerous. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

It is believed that 99% of the area in
space
 is yet to be explored, and mankind does not know if
life
 exists beyond mother earth. If we want to know about
life
's existence on other planets,
then
 we must have a strategy in place. Up until now, we have sent unmanned
space
 objects, which are gathering data from the universe. In previous decades, we had already replied to the incoming waves and it was considered safe. So, I agree with the idea of sending signals into
space
 because we must find if
life
 exists on other planets for our own security and research purposes. In past, it has been noted a few times that our scientists received signals from unknown sources, and they were unable to decode the message.
Hence
, it becomes empirical that
life
 exists beyond our planet, and we must find the source of those strong frequency messages. In order to do that, certain individuals have an opinion that we must replay or send fresh signals into the
space
 for communicating with other
life
 forms.
This
 will help us in understanding how
life
 exists on the far side of our universe.
Also
, it will give us insights
such
 as how is the livelihood on their terrene, what do they eat, what kind of trees and plants available there, etc.
Although
, there is a section of society that feels if we start communicating with aliens,
then
 it is going to be disastrous for us. They may have advanced weapons, which can destroy our existence in minutes. If by any chance they get to know our location,
then
 it increases the risk of attack on us, and as of ,now we don't have any alternative than Earth.
Moreover
, they may attack our communication satellites which can be catastrophic for our day to day
life
. In a nutshell, we should not shy away from sending communications to other objects in
space
.
However
, before that, we must verify the merits and demerits in order to safeguard our security.
This
 will ensure that we are moving in the correct direction for
space
 research, and at the same time, we are
also
 safeguarding our interests in terms of the existence of lives on our planet.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
