 The rise of convenience food has helped people keep up with the speed of modern life-style. What are the advantages of this trend? Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? The emergence of tertiary processed foods has become quite handy for modern citizens to adapt themselves to the hectic pace of life. Although this trend confers some benefits, drawbacks related to it are also very severe. In this writer’s opinion, the disadvantages it has far outstrip its advantages. Convenience foods offer several benefits. To commence with, these processed foods save kitchen time for modern people. Most convenience foods, in simple words, take hardly less than a few minutes to be cooked and served. Apart from this, they are very often prepared before being consumed and can be eaten at any time, quickly and easily by heating or thawing the food. What is more, they are cheap, have almost no leftover, and do not produce dirty dishes, which is very convenient as a whole. In this modern lifest...

 It is becoming increasingly popular to have a year off between finishing school and going to university. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this? There is no doubt that the trend of taking a year break after the completion of school and before starting the college courses has become more popular. In this write up, I will highlight the benefits and drawbacks of this new development / approach. To start with the positives, a significant advantage is that students can explore the possibilities and get prepared for the future assignments. For instance, during this time children can learn new languages, or they can enroll in a course which can provide them the extra credits. As a result, the candidates will have an edge over their competition, and get admitted to the desired college. Moreover, teenagers nowadays are interested in travelling to other nations prior to commencing another phase of their life. This is because some of them might be interested in doing some voluntar...

 Some people think that it would be better for large companies and industry to move to regional areas outside instead of large urban centers. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? Since the dawn of Industrial revolution large industries have influenced its workers to dwell in certain strategic locations which are either very near to the factories or stops from where frequent transport facilities are available. Eventually, small towns were formed surrounding the huge industrial area. Nowadays, tech-park developers prefer sites away from the residential areas, while some people feel that it is advantageous others complain because of traveling time. Some understand that such areas provide certain distinction between official environment and personal life. Although employees have to travel, many companies support with many provisions like free food, bus or cab facility to pickup and drop from certain vital localities. In addition, a good bond gets established between ...

 There seems to be an increasing trend towards assessing students through exams rather than continual assessment. What are advantages and disadvantages of exam as a form of assessment? In recent times it has been observed that there has been rise in number of exams and a dip in the short continuous checks in many institutes. I believe this problem has to be addressed on the basis of age group as well as the bunch of subjects been enrolled for studying. Some people feel that only exams can be considered as merit for courses done after eighteen, while some think students with good basics should be marked by examinations. Although this is not true for all the professions, for some it would be of great help. To illustrate, careers like Nursing or Doctors require rigorous disciplined work with practical hands-on experience, but the bachelors degrees in subjects like Geography, Mathematics can be rated just by exams. Furthermore, this would be the best option for working professionals. M...

 Many elderly people are no long looked after by their families but are put in care homes or nursing homes. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this trend? The concept of joint family is becoming more and more dwindling. The old generation is taken to the old age homes by their sons or daughters at surge these days, which is quite depressing. I clearly have a stand against this. Many believe if there are some diseases or physical problems which cannot be treated solely at home, only in such extreme conditions it is feasible for the elderly ones to be in some hospitals or houses which provide extensive care. It is to be made sure that the attention of the near and dear ones shouldn't be lost during these tough times. Regularly at-least one member from the family must be present the such places. In all other cases it is pretty much the people who don't care for their old parents or grandparents. It can be confirmed that people are being selfish and just serve the purpose...

Success is often measured by wealth and material belongings. Do you think wealth is the best measure of success?  What makes a successful person? It is a huge blunder to consider the rich as successful. If an individual governs some area doesn't mean that they are mighty. The posh are always branded as successful even if the majority of their possessions have been inherited. Successful are the ones who have taken a long leap in any area, in ethical way. To provide an insight, it could be a rookie in an engineering world, who later would file a patent in his or her area after gaining in-depth expertise in research after some years. Another individual could be a physically obese and unfit person, able to run a marathon after immense weight reduction, hardcore workout and some years of disciplined practice. I feel such individuals are deserving to be considered for their achievements. Although there is no certain measure for term success but the measurement must be the journey of the ...

 It is often considered that change is more beneficial to people than trying to avoid it and have everything remain the same. Do you think the advantages of change outweigh the disadvantages? It is said that "Change is inevitable". With the constant time lapse changes do occur in everyone's life. These changes are unavoidable. It is often believed that nothing is permanent, to my knowledge I support this firmly. Although challenging situations drain us, on the contrary it grows us in various aspects of life. As a result, we become more wise, only to understand the lively conditions more quickly. The key is to accept the situational update and flow with it to be successful in any area. Many believe life is something which doesn't come with manual. We have to first experience it and then understand its lessons. To illustrate, a teenager cannot stay in a primary school for long time. If an individual is capable enough to pass all the exams, one has to move out. It would ...

The internet is a great course of information and has opened up opportunities for people to learn all over the world. Is all information reliable on the internet? What could be done to control information online? Internet is surely a prime invention of the 21st century. It has provided information readily available to everyone, about any knowledge humans have ever known and understood. In due course academics have flourished, tendency to memorize have become unnecessary. Many believe that the data over the internet is not completely reliable. It has become very common to see hoax news, wrong agendas, etc. have become very common. Destructive and negative hatred speeches as well as disturbing social media posts on racism, cunning political acts, motivation for terrorist activities, etc. have become reality with ugly influences and it is a shame that there is no one to control it. Data just propagates in form of chain reaction over the internet. Some hold social media as culprit for this...

 Many people work long hours, leaving very little time for leisure activities. Does this situation have more advantages or more disadvantages? Work culture has evolved tremendously since the advent of the digital age. During period of industrial revolution, strict working hours were followed. This has changed as the underlying infrastructure for work is still not fully developed, which in turn requires many people to slog for long hours in the digitally equipped world. Many firmly confirm that work done in this period is for the betterment of mankind, it automates the human life to a greater extent. On one hand this is true in making our lives easier for the future, on the other hand personal development stops in the rat race. Jobs like software development require long hours of focus, which is quite difficult to achieve amongst the social media distractions. To illustrate, if a mobile application developer creates a great concept, he or she has to work without looking at clock. At...

  Society Globalization has both advantages and disadvantages. Discuss both and give your opinion. Trading, community and communication have always been an important part of conscious human beings. History has been showing all the changes in the society. After the mighty world wars and further some more years of cold wars, the globe got open to trade and flourish together. Thus, the terminology of globalization was defined. On one hand world got closer, various investments were been made in between countries, states, private areas, etc. Societies started to shape likewise, in many continents, thoughts and ideas started to flow once there were investments done directly as well as indirectly. The stock market took bullish path after various exchanges between multinational companies. Investors started to pour their money and valuables in the stocks. Although the banking and technology started being aggressive in their trades, one cannot deny the exposure given to many talents whic...

With the growth in software technology, many old technologies have come to rest.  There is no denying if a better upgrade in available over any area, we should adapt it. Many people believe that the online media is quite handy, one can get whatever information needed at any given time.  There are numerous new applications which especially serve the purpose of news on smart phones. A bunch of algorithms developed by companies like google provide personalized news feed once we are connected over the internet.  It basically provides information in depth about the topics which an individual likes, in addition the intelligent apps take feedback through the number of clicks. Certainly, it has its own traits and advantages.  While news on radio was only transmitted via speech, in the online way ...

  Travel and Tourism International tourism has brought about enormous benefits to many places. At the same time, there is concern about its impact on local inhabitants and the environment. Do the advantages outweigh disadvantages? Life has changed a lot in recent years. With the scientific revolution, majority of corporate working class is engrossed in their stressful jobs day in and day out.  Weekend and holidays are the only getaway from their mind draining jobs. Many feel that this is one of the reason for the rise in continental trips.  Without any doubt the global tourist attractions have evolved to provide good number of customers for a variety of businesses.  A good amount of people believe that this surge of tourists are one of the pivotal factor for trading. Furthermore, some areas solely rely on tourists as their revenue.  To illustrate, Goa state from India has international ties all across the world.  Quite famous for its beaches and cuisine, ...

  Work culture in world. Describe. Work culture is in heavy discussion, since the Information technology and digital world has evolved. During the industrial revolution people had working shifts, where for some hours they used to work for production, further finishing their day physically exhausted. Once the financial, technical or overall corporate sector of the world grew, employees didn't have to do much manual work but then they became mentally burned up.  Many people believe that the if brain gets tired and stressed, it has many ill-effects on the body. It was discovered by many such multinational companies that this mental exhaustion had to be resolved, on contrary it was difficult to take such step. Hence, to tackle it the solution was weekend of two days. Even though five day week was made, techies still slog more than ten hours and hence the term work life balance comes in limelight.  With the latest pandemic situation which is the eye opener for humans and has b...

  Transport Discuss evolution of transport and its importance. The need for transportation started after the agriculture took a boom and the homo sapiens had to trade. As it grew so did the importance of exchange of goods. For long duration means of transport were either achieved by walk or carts pulled by animals. Many people believe that with the industrial revolution implied quick need of business and this made it difficult to catch with the old systems. Something more faster and reliable way was required to take the largely produced commodities from one place to another. More stable systems to get raw material and to provide the final product had to be established. With the advent of automobiles and trains, which itself was another product of the growing inventions, it was clear that these would rule the whole transportation system. Ships were quite ancient way of trading but to take the produce to every nook and corner was still not possible by them. Furthermore, it is quite c...

  Housing In some countries people prefer to rent house rather than buying them. What are the advantages and disadvantages of renting a home? Dwelling has been the most vital component of life since the mankind has ever existed. Food, clothing and shelter formulate the three fundamentals.  Before the industrial revolution and well before the kings dominated the society, we have been nomads. With the movement from countryside to cities, the curious case of renting or owning has confused many. Many speculate that it is always better to live on rent, to avoid the deep stress after buying a house. The loans run behind people forever, causing them to get stuck in the forever pace of life. People are free to roam or change the home if they face any challenges. To illustrate, a troublesome neighborhood or sudden emergency financial conditions can totally wreck the balance sheet of any family. In such conditions more liquid money is available if the home-loans are avoided.  W...

  Technology Discuss advantages and disadvantages of tremendous development in technology.  Is it a boon or curse. Discuss both the ideas and give your view. Since the industrial revolution, there has been tremendous growth in technology. Initially, it was been used as human catastrophe in world-wars but later global peace movements have tried to focus on the everyday use of such technologies. This sudden development has occurred in very recent decades. The branding of any product prior to the recent dark ages has always been something which would aid certain aspect of life. To illustrate, the invention of telegraph was the greatest achievement, as it just brought the globe within some minutes of distance. Urgent messages were been sent and received. Government hardly required any promotion of such a unique communicational tool. Very soon it became a part of life of any everyday joe. Furthermore, the invention of walkie-talkie, telephone etc. brought the upgrades in communicat...

  Space exploration Some people think that space exploration is a waste of resources while others think that it is essential for mankind to continue to explore the universe in which we live. Discuss both and give your opinion. Since the Sputnik had been launched by Soviet Union, there is always been a race towards the space. There is no denying that the space programs bring an immense knowledge to the  Astronomers and Astrophysicists but it also gives an in-depth knowledge about the world wide climate, season and helps out the meteorological department.  I believe that other space missions are just melting of wealth which could be used for numerous vital tasks. The need for satellites to track any detailed information which could help mankind to stop any catastrophe is always encouraged. There is an argument by many intellectual individual over some of the missions like Voyager, indeed they did give limitless knowledge about the universe but these could have been util...

  Sport and Exercise Impact of Sports and Exercise on individual. Physical fitness is very important for every individual. Being healthy has great impact over any person, it also has mental benefits. Sport and Exercise shape overall persona. It is always encouraged historically to have great health in order to survive in challenging situations. Exercising or playing any outdoor sport not only increases oxygen level in blood but also helps in getting rid of the excessive fats. In addition, detoxification of the body is another added advantage which has been proved by many dieticians. Although more emphasis is been put over the workout patterns, healthy eating is prominent aspect of any physical activity gain. Such habits maybe painful at first to adapt but once they are inculcated in life, anyone can be fit with good looks added.  Many researches have proved that overall gains are unlimited but one vital component is mental effect. Scientists have already observed that there is...

  Reading Some people think that e-books are the death of paper books while others think that paper books will disappear. Discuss both the views and give your opinion. With the advent of the new digital age, everything is in the electronic form. As it is said a coin has two sides, so does the current digital age. Although many people believe that the future of books would be in electronic form, there are still some avid readers who have a great relationship with hard-bound paper books. It is a personal choice to opt any of the way, in the end one has to gain some knowledge and prosper, where way of attaining it becomes less vital. E-books are always safe at some electronic memory location, moreover there is no risk of losing it. It comes with pros such as easy to turn, no maintenance, and cherry on the cake is it hardly consumes any space. In addition to such user friendliness, e-books are pivotal in environmental benefits. It is well known that paper comes from trees, which ha...
