Offspring are the backbone of every country. So, there are communities who tend to believe that youngsters should be encouraged to initiate social work as it will result in flourished society and individualistic growth of youngsters themselves. I, too believe that this motivation has more benefits than its drawbacks.

Are classes, such as painting and drawing, are as important to a child's development as other subjects, so it should be compulsory in high schools. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is an indisputable fact that science and technology have permeated almost every aspect of human life and the demand for workers in these two sectors is undoubtedly increasing. High schools, one of whose primary roles is to provide a sufficient supply of manpower for industries, either are pressured into or deliberately focusing on science subjects to cater for such an increase. However, I believe that students need to dabble in the arts because it not only benefits them socially and emotionally, but also helps them think creatively and become more patient.
