The increased availability of consumer credit in some countries has contributed to the problem of debt. Who is responsible for high levels of indebtedness: the financial institutions that lend money or the individuals who borrow money?
Many people have used credit cards to buy everything they want and it can raise the debt. In this essay, I totally agree with the individuals who have responsibility for the money that they borrow from the bank.

In many countries, people are now living longer than ever before. Some people say an ageing population creates problems for governments. Other people think there are benefits if society has more elderly people. To what extent do the advantages of having an ageing population outweigh the disadvantages?
It's hard to deny that humans now have longer lives in many countries, which leads some people to generate their idea that this will cause some trouble like economic pressure on the governments. However, such a statement lacks both factual and logical fallacies and should be examined meticulously. In my opinion, as far as employment, culture and economy are concerned, the whole phenomenon tends to be positive.

In the future, people may no longer be able to pay for things in shops using cash. All payments may have to be made by card or using phones. Do you think this will happen one day? Why do you think some people might not be happy to give up using cash?
Some argue that physical shops will receive non-cash payments only, thus people should pay using their cards or mobile phones in the future. This will not happen because when the power is off then the business completely stops. Some folks especially elderly people will have difficulties with this shift.
