Nowadays there is an emerging trend of

beauty

treatments to appear to be more youthful, more and more people are spending large amounts of money on beautifying their complexions.

While

I agree that everyone wants to be a better version of themselves, I admit that we should not ignore the negative impact of the

beauty

industry. The increasing popularity of the trend of spending money on

beauty

is attributed to several subjective and objective factors. In terms of objectivity, the rise of social media like

beauty

apps has fueled an obsession with perfect skin, creating pressure to meet

beauty

standards.

Furthermore

, manipulation of the

beauty

industry

such

as bombardment of advertising and celebrity endorsement, exaggerates the functions of products to entice

women

to make purchases of them. Subjectively, feeling inferior about their body shape and skin, feeling inferior to others, makes

women

become obsessed, looking for ways to beautify themselves. It is these

effects

that make

women

fascinated and crazy about

beauty

, leading to negative

effects

Similarly

, society is becoming more and more heartless, people only focus on appearance to evaluate people, creating an unrealistic

beauty

standard.

Finally

, expectations about appearance can cause great pressure, leading to anxiety, depression and low self-esteem if standards are not met. In conclusion, each person always tries to make themselves better.

However

, being aware of the harmful

effects

of excessive

beauty

and balancing

beauty

and self-care in a healthy way is very important.

Educating young people is naturally important. However, some think governments ought to invest more in education for adults in need. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is true that education plays a vital role in the development of every child. While some argue that education for adults should be more emphasized and get more attention from the government, I believe this is only suitable for developed nations and not that much necessary in the developing ones.

everyone should be encouraged to use fewer resources rather than recycle more. To what extent do you agree?
Nowadays, there are many resources that are available to everyone, which causes damage to the earth. This problem is just being recognised and people argue weather they should consume fewer resources or be encouraged to recycle more. I believe using fewer resources has a more beneficial impact on the environment.

Around the world, rural people are moving to cities and urban areas, so populations in the countryside are decreasing. Do you think that this is a positive or negative development?
Majorities of the countries went to the same problem, which is the decreasing number of people in rural areas because of mass urbanization from the countryside to the urban cities. In my opinion, this issue results in detrimental side effects such as the high gap of infrastructures and economic equality in each area.

Traffic and housing problems could be solved by moving large companies, factories and their employees to the countryside. Do you agree or disagree?
There is a strong argument that shifting substantial industries and factories to rural areas can be a solver for traffic and housing problems in urban areas. I completely agree with the statement because it can reduce traffic congestion in big cities and solve problems for workers to buy houses. In this essay, I will discuss more details about it.

IN SOME COUNTRIES, THERE IS A GROWING NUMBER OF PEOPLE FINDING THE HISTORY OF THEIR HOMES. IN MY OPINION, THEY RESEARCH THIS FOR THE FOLLOWING BASIS, PERHAPS FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY REASONS.
