Nowadays, more people are choosing to socialise online rather than face to face. Is this a positive or a negative development?
Over the past few decades, there has been a profound increase in the number of individuals opting to interact with other people online and do not prefer to meet them in person. This essay agrees that this is a negative development as there is a lack of connection with local people and privacy can be breached.

The role of prisons should be to punish criminals who have committed serious crimes. Training courses and education offered to prisoners are a waste of tax payers' money. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
t is a common belief that rehabilitation of victims in jails is useless and waste of money. I strongly disagree with this proposal, since every criminal deserves a second chance to change his personality, so they need to learn new skills.

Some people believe that success is about hard work and determination. Others think that success has a connection with money and personal appearance. Discuss both these views and give your opinion. (Steve no copyright)
Some individuals think that favourable outcome always comes from continuous struggle and self-confidence , while others argue that there is a need to have hard cash and make a personality. Although wealth provides the opportunity to establish businesses and have a groomed personality preferred for job applications , I opine that the person's aspiration and single-mindedness are nearer to prolonging prosperity and enhancing learning capabilities.

Some people argue that all experimentation on animals is bad and should be outlawed. However, others believe that important scientific discoveries can be made from animal experiments. Can experimentation on animals be justified? Are there any alternatives?
Using animals for experiments in the field of science has increased gradually. Some people claim that using animals for testing purposes is wrong, and better to be banned, however, others argue that animals are vital for new innovations. In my view, utilizing creatures for research-based experiments is essential due to the fact the well-being of society is a prime requirement of any other considerations.

Some people think that children should aim to be the best at what they are doing while others believe it is not necessary for them. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
People have different views on whether or not children should try to be the best in the activities they pursue. In my opinion, while trying to be the first can be important for certain activities, it is not always required in every situation and, in fact, can be detrimental in some cases.
