Exposure to international media such as films, TV and megazines has significant impact on local culture. What do you think has been the impact? Do you think its advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
In today’s digital world, international media plays a significant role in shaping cultural trends across the globe.

In Britain, when someone gets old, they often go to live in a home with other old people where there are nurses to look after them. Sometimes the government has to pay for this care. Who do you think should pay for this care, the government or the family? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
In the elderly age, many people move to a nursing home where other old people live, and the government finances some of this care. From my point of view, who should fund these institutions depends exclusively on the social economic socioeconomic condition of the person in need, in which governments should pay for the care of poor people.
