Many people assume that the goal of every country should be to produce more materials and goods. To what extent do you agree or disagree that constantly increasing production is an appropriate goal?
These days, there is a widespread disagreement on the issue of whether constantly increasing production is a positive or negative development. While there are valid arguments to the contrary, in this essay, I intend to argue that quality and the environment should not be sacrificed for this aim. The reasons for this are as follows.

Some opine that individual greed and selfishness have been the basis of modern society. They think that we must return to older and more traditional values such as respect for the elderly people and the local community in order to create a better world to live in. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Write at least 250 words.
Some people argue that modern society is driven by individual greed and selfishness, which they believe have led to social and moral decline. These critics suggest that returning to traditional values, such as respect for the elderly and a stronger sense of community, could improve the world. While I acknowledge that some aspects of modern society promote self-interest, I believe that a complete return to older values is not a realistic solution.

With the advances in science and technology, people from different ends of the world can communicate with each other. What is your opinion on the impact of technologies on our lives? Do you think that these advances only result in positive outcomes?
It is indisputable that technological advancements exert a profound and wide-ranging influence on our daily lives. Some people believe that technology brings only positive changes, improving communication, productivity, and convenience. However, I contend that while technology plays a pivotal and indispensable role in contemporary society, it also presents some negative consequences that should not be overlooked.
