Rich countries often give money to poorer countries, but it does not solve poverty. Therefore, developed countries should give other types of help to the poor countries rather than financial aid. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
The persistence of poverty worldwide has raised concerns about the effectiveness of financial aid. In my opinion, developed countries should utilize other non-monetary measures including educational opportunities to ensure the eradication of poverty.

In some countries it is now illigal to reject someone applying for a job because of his or her age. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
Anti-discrimination against someone’s age is a common observation in many countries. Even more so, some countries are obligated to allow all ages to apply for open vacancies. In my opinion, while there are both advantages and disadvantages to allowing all ages to apply, the overall impact leans toward the negative.

Some people think that governments should ban dangerous sports, while others think people should have freedom to do any sports or activity. Discuss both views and give your own opinion
There is an ongoing discussion on whether lif risky sports should be prohibited or not. While it is beneficial to limit access to these activities for citizens, I would contend that they can benefit more from giving people more freedom to decide whether they want to take part in these sports or not.
