Scientists believe that finding other life forms in space by sending messages is a good idea, while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

#scientists #life #forms #space #messages #idea
It is of concern whether scientists should identify other
forms
 of life in spend through communication.
This
 essay seeks to look at both sides of the argument.
To begin
 with, the earth is already filled with several creatures. The
lives
 of these living
beings
 are interdependent on each other.
However
, human
beings
 are not in touch with numerous
forms
 of living
forms
 but our existence and survival have been optimal. We are comfortable with our current
lives
.
This
 is to say, we do not need to be in touch with all other
forms
 of
beings
 to survive.
On the other hand
, some people opine research identifies new life
forms
 in space if there are, through messaging.
Although
 it sounds like a good idea,
it is clear that
 going to the extent of sending communication signals to space is an act that will require very sophisticated gadgets and experts to do so. Generating sophisticated devices will require funding. These monies will obviously require government support. Meanwhile, national leaders already have a lot of projects to take care of to make the already existing human
lives
 on earth comfortable. I don't think it smart to spend money in search of new
lives
 which may or may not exist when we haven't been able to satisfy the needs of the
lives
 we know live on our planet.
Hence
, my opinion is that we should be content with the life we have now and rather be interested in coming up with ideas to make our
lives
 better rather than bothering ourselves with unknown
beings
.
To sum up
, I disagree people should go in search of new
lives
 on other planets and rather channel those resources to already existing
lives
 here.

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
