Some people say the main way to be happy in life is to have a lot of money. How might having a lot of money make people happy? What other things in life car make people happy?
Few people think that in order to be happy in life, one should have a lot of money. Because with more money individuals can fulfil their dreams and might help others by giving to charity, as well as donations. However, gaining happiness in life through money is not the only way, this is something others might gain by loving their parents and also by hanging out with friends.

It is sometimes argued that advertising influences our decisions to buy products. However, many people claim that these days, we are bombarded by advertisements, thus, nobody cares about them anymore. While I understand that we see many advertisements each day and we simply ignore them most of the time, I believe many of them affect our decisions significantly.

Large companies should pay CEOs and executives higher salaries than other workers. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
In many large corporations, top executives and CEOs receive significantly higher salaries compared to other employees. This practice has sparked debate on whether such a pay disparity is justified. I believe that while CEOs and executives should be rewarded for their responsibilities, the extent of the pay gap between them and regular employees is often excessive and unjustified.
