It is argued that advertising is responsible for the overconsumption that our society is witnessing.This essay disagrees completely with this statement because citizens consume what they need and what they can afford regardless of advertising and also because this phenomenon appeared before the ever-increase in people's expenditures.

Some people believe that professionals, such as doctors and engineers, should be required to work in the country where they did their training. Others believe they should be free to work in another country if they wish. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
These days, there is no doubt that the world is flat and humans could never have embarked on our ascent to unparalleled power to conquer nature as well as reach a higher level of development without the contribution of experts. A lot of people believe that professionals like engineers and doctors ought to be obliged to work in the country where they were educated. Whereas, others believe they should be free to work overseas as they wish. In this essay, I will discuss the rationales behind these two views before showing I favour the latter point of view.
