Some people think that qualities a person needs to become successful in today's world cannot be learned at universities or similar academic institutions. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#people #qualities #person #world #universities #institutions

Today, there is an ongoing debate about the qualities a person can learn at

universities

. some claim that these

universities

are failing to teach individuals to become successful. I partially disagree with the above statement.

Firstly

, most

universities

are focused on the academic curriculum.

Universities

are failing in teaching a person to teach personal qualities as they are not a part of most of the university's educational plans.

Skills

like communication, problem-solving, critical thinking and leadership

skills

are playing a major role in

this

modern society for an individual to excel in his career.

For example

, recent research by the Australian university of education revealed that

people

with personal

skills

have career progress compared to technically strong

people

as the techs work under these

people

For example

, Sundar Pichayya who is the CEO of google has progressed to that position because of his personal

skills

on top of his technical

skills

. On other hand, some

universities

are trying to include personal development classes

along with

the actual curriculum. By providing workshops and classes , they provide students with a chance to improve their qualities. Students

also

have a chance to interact with many other

people

, present seminars etc which can help them in self-growth. Based on the brought up, some students are not willing to open up them self which is a great minus for their career.

To conclude

, I can say that

universities

are not the only reason causes the current generation fails in attaining personal

skills

but

also

their own character.

You have seen an advertisement in an Australian magazine for someone to live with a family for six months and look after their six-year-old child.
I am writing to apply for the job of looking after the six-year-old child, as I saw the advertisement was posted in an Australian magazine last week. I have worked in a public elementary school for over 20 years. Plus, after retiring, I still care for young kids at my home, which gives a hand reinforcement to my neighbors. Above my experience, I should be the best candidate among these job applicants.

Completeing university education is thought by some to be the best way to get a good job. Other people think that getting experience and developing soft skills are more important. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
It is considered by some that being a university graduate is the key to securing a good job, while there are others who think that it is better to have experience and soft skills. In my opinion, I believe that having a university education is essential for academic jobs, while soft skills and experience are more useful in business.

Many governments think that economic progress is their most important goal. Some people, however, think that other types of progress are equally important for a country. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Governments, all around the world, have visions to fulfil and responsibilities to carry on, and they seek to achieve the overall developments of their countries for a prosperous future. Thus many governments think that economic development is the key to prosperity while others disagree with this notion and opine that many other aspects such as green environment, security, social values, traditions and peace among nations are more important. I personally believe that the economic success of a nation is an important goal for an authority, but this is not the most important one.
