The rising number of overweight and obese people, both young and old, in poor nations shows that alien food cultures have taken roots in the culinary interests of these peoples.
How right is this view in your opinion?
Is food the only culprit in this regard?
Instances of obesity and overweight are real in poor nations, and the same can be attributed to the fact that people of these nations have switched their culinary likes. However, it is unfair to blame food as the only culprit.
Taste has always been powerful enough to influence people’s culinary interests. This human weakness got heightened when poor nations happened to avail exotic, gourmet and mouthwatering dishes provided by national and multinational food chains. This urge for exotic tastes seems to have elbowed out people’s traditional culinary interests. For example, hamburgers, pizzas, KFC and the like are very common in poor nations, and affluent people forgo cooking and go after these fat-rich foods. This leads to obesity and overweight to some extent. Who would deny the fact that body mass is associated with food intake?
How ever powerful a factor food may be, it is not food alone that makes people of poor nations suffer from obesity. There are several other factors that lead to weight gain. Primarily, obesity has something to do with heredity. Secondly, heavy food intake may not necessarily make all people obese or overweight, but rich food, poor exercise and sedentary lifestyle practices can make an ordinary human being add on weight. This condition is very common in poor nations. No wonder, many in poor nations go heavy in terms of their body mass.
In short, overweight and obesity have been here for ages. Though food is the main component, other factors also contribute to this state of affairs. Anyway, switching food culture is not a good thing. It is cultural and culinary loss.

Rich nations of late show increased interest in inviting talents from rich nations only. But when it comes to pooling material resources, there is no restriction at all. This biased attitude to poor nations is detrimental in more ways than one.
Try to identify a few major negative impacts of such a stance.
Do you think there are ways to make a shift in this attitude?
Globalization is meant for the general welfare of the whole world. Unfortunately, this is not happening at times. Of late, there is biased attitude from the rich towards inviting human resource from poor nations. This is harmful, and there are ways to fix this anomaly.
The primary concern is that the gap between the rich and poor will increase. This is dangerous in the sense that part of the world will go filthy rich and the rest of the world will remain poor in the days to come. Secondly, human resources from poor nations will go either unused or underused depriving the world of their contribution. This is global loss. Thirdly, there is room for disharmony among global population.
When it comes to pooling resource, the rich are able to import whatever they want. This is mainly due to the need for foreign currencies. Secondly, many natural poor nations may become fuels to the rich. Statistics show that 40% of the global resources is used by the rich economies, and the rest is shared by the poor.
How can we strike a balance? Firstly, if the rich nations ignore talents from poor nations, the latter can suspend exports to such nations. Secondly, there can be import curbs so that poor nations can press the rich to come to terms. And, finally, those nationals from poor nations who are already in the rich economies can think of calling it a day and return to their homelands. This will definitely dent the rich.
In short, the biased attitude towards talents from poor nations is an unhealthy practice in today’s all encompassing global interface. This condition would worsen international relations to an extent. The world need to strike a balance.

Most development exercises are aimed at the skilled and educated of a State, but there is a population segment that is either unskilled or not-so-educated who are left in the lurch down the ages.
• How fair is it to orient development towards the better off?
• Make a few suggestions to bridge this development divide.
Orienting all development exercises towards the whole population mix is a Herculean task. This does not mean that policy makers can ignore those who are unskilled and undereducated. This is unfair, and there are ways to fix this issue.
All development initiatives need to help the whole population directly or indirectly. This is a democratic requirement and the same is mandatory for the uniform development of any polity. The fact being so, there is a little concern when the better of happen to reap all the benefits of upcoming development exercises. This further deepens several social anomalies.
For example, governments across the world allocate huge sums from tax payer’s pocket for IT enabled development exercise. Obviously, employment opportunities generated thereof are cut mostly for the skilled and IT educated. This unilateral distribution of possibilities is undemocratic and asocial.
How can governments bridge this divide? Firstly, I think democratic distribution of funds for the uplift of the unskilled and not-so-educated will go a long way in making uniform representation of development exercises possible. Secondly, along with development exercises, there should be enough political will to observe that all children go to school and they get either skilled or qualified to partake of all the development exercises in the long run.
In short, population diaspora in terms of skilled, educated, not skilled and not-so-educated is a hard nut to crack. However, it is unfair to ignore the fact that there is a section that goes neglected all the time. Anyway, the suggestions I have made are of some significance in this respect.

The Press as a social instrument at times resorts to priority reporting thanks to its association with private and business interests. Some people believe that this is unavoidable because the Press is owned and operated mostly by private parties.
• How far is this view agreeable to you?
Biased reporting is as old as the Press itself because all press organizations are byproducts of business interests. This tendency, in my view, is unavoidable to a great extent. However, as a social instrument, the Press is expected to be balanced.
As a matter of fact, all media are byproducts of advertising. This has been so for ages, and all Press organisations, in one way or the other, have to stand by their patrons and clients. This clientele may range from small national enterprises to multinational corporate business empires. The amount of money these organizations allocate as media budget for promoting their products and services is the life blood of the Press in general.
For example, Reliance as a communication giant is a favourite of all press organizations. Obviously, these Press groups will curry great favours with Reliance wherever there is a controversy involving Reliance. Such priority reporting can be seen with regard to smaller business partners as well.
Though all is said of the Press’ obligation to its patrons, there remains a fact that the Press as such is promoted by people too. It is the public who read or watch or listen to the media. This, in turn, leads to marked penetration by way of sales and response. Naturally, the Press has to satisfy the interests of the public as well. So, when it comes to great human interests, the Press is obliged to forgo its private business interests.
Concluding it, I find it right to add that the Press does not have any independent existence; rather it does have to engage in priority reporting. But, it is a wiser idea to maintain a balanced rapport with its private and social or public interests.

Five questions
1.
The Press as a social instrument at times resort to priority reporting thanks to its association with private and business interests. Some people believe that this is fine because the Press is owned and operated mostly by private parties.
• How far is this view agreeable to you?
2.
The Press as a social instrument at times transforms itself into political instruments meant for satisfying the vested interests of one political party of the other. This is unethical and undemocratic.
• How unethical and undemocratic is this tendency in your opinion?
3.
Acronyms, short forms, abbreviations and similar language tools extensively being applied in real-time communication media are able to send wrong linguistic signals to budding language users.
• How genuine is this concern in your opinion?
4.
The aged segment of any population is being looked at with disdain. But the fact is that all the conveniences the younger age segment enjoys are but the blood and sweat of this segment. Some say taking care of the old is the job of the young, whereas some others take the ball to the state’s court.
• Discuss both the views and say what you feel about the aged.

A student at a university campus trying to find details on a new course.
Excuse me……..May I…..ask..
Yes, please tell me. How can I help you?
Well, I would like to know a couple of things about admissions.
Are you the right parson to talk to?
Yes, yes. My name’s Clement Lee. And I am the officer, Admissions.
All right, my guess was right. Actually I had tough time finding this office.
Oh, really I am sorry. This is a new place. Actually we were in the 2nd floor.
We have been here for a week, and many people find it difficult to get here.
Let’s come to the point.
Yes, yes, actually I would like to do a course on environmental engineering.
How attractive is this course in your opinion.
Well, frankly speaking we get a lot of enquiries on this. And as per our records, all the previous students have been placed and are doing well. And currently, we have a batch of 20 preparing to pass out.
Ajaypeesdoc.23.9.011
What is the duration of the program?
It is one year, or two semesters. We have both the systems, that is; students are free to choose annual exam or semester exams.
Really, that is great. Not many institutions allow this.
That is right, we appreciate it because we take our students’ interest first.
By the way, what are the entry level requirements?
As a matter of fact, any graduate is eligible, but he or she has to have 60% marks for the qualifying exam. And those who have got 80 or above will get 20% reduction in the course fee.
Really, that is fantastic. And unique as well.
Oh I forgot. Please brief me about the fee and payment options.
Well, we have two fee patterns: one for, as you know, semester and the other for annual. Semester fee is a little higher though.
If you want the details, it goes like this.
A semester candidate has to pay 500 pounds for every semester. But the annual option wants one to pay 800 pounds.
The mode of payment, by the way.
Well, you can pay it in any form. By cash or card.
Should we pay the whole amount down?
Oh, no. Actually, at the time of admission, one should pay 50%, this is for the annual option. But, for the semester the initial payment is 75%.
And the remaining?
After three months from the date of admission. This is applicable for both the options.
Let me remember, um….yes. Is there any boarding facility in the campus?
Sorry, we are currently working on it, and we expect to open it by the end of this year.
Well, thank you, thank you very much.
Oh, sorry, the last date for submitting the application is…..by when?
22nd of July. You have enough time. BYE
Bye bye.

There is huge fall in the number of people in poor nations to take care of teaching and training, regardless of disciplines and departments. This is alarming.
• What all factors do you attribute to this alarming state of affairs?
• What suggestions can you put forward so that teaching/training would become attractive?
Teaching and training the younger are the two major components that make a nation grow. Unfortunately, the popularity of these professions is veining in poor nations. Obviously, there are reasons for this, and I have a few suggestions to reverse this trend.
The poor pay package and promotion possibilities are the two major factors that make teaching and training unattractive. For example, an IT graduate is able to take home a pay pack as big as fifty thousand, whereas a teacher is given twenty or twenty-five thousand, and once one is a teacher or a trainer, one is bound to be so for ages. It is a different story in careers like management and marketing. Besides, today, the world offers enormous possibilities for the really ambitious. To cap it all, material interests rule the roost in professional circles. There are, obviously, not many takers for teaching/training.
How can we reverse this trend? Firstly, rulers of poor nations need to realize that it is teachers and trainers that make the real differences in nation building. All the new age possibilities are possible only if they are facilitated by excellent teachers and efficient trainers. So there needs great changes in the way teaching community is treated. Secondly, new age parents and their ambitious offspring must know that their dreams would come true only if there are people to hold teaching/training positions. These suggestions, I am sure, would reinstate the dignity of teaching.
Concluding it, I find it right to say that what it takes a nation to be progressing and progressive is teaching and training. This attitude is not reflected in poor nations. Any ways the suggestions afore made are of some significance, I tend to believe so.

There is a growing trend in developing nations that makes women and their physical virtues instruments for promoting commercial interests. Some say this is a clear sign of materialism taking over human values whereas there are some who feel that it is a case of marginalization of females by the male-centered market forces.
• How right are these two views in your opinion?
Exploiting women for promoting commercial interests is nothing new, but it is rather high in poor nations. This trend indicates several things; mostly the emerging materialism and marginalizing of women. Let us see how this trend relates to these two views.
In poor nations, there is enormous rise in material interests thanks to globalization and its commercial possibilities. Naturally, poor nations are markets of the rich, and the latter employs all possible ploys to see their products and services enjoy market penetration. Therefore, exploiting models, beauty queens and actresses for commercial promotions has become the order of the day. This is promoted further by the media mileage and material advantages such women happen to enjoy. This ultimately makes many basic human values like dignity of dressing, decent body language and like give way to money and material.
Though things being so, there is another aspect to it. It is not unknown for us that all the market forces are governed mostly by men, and they do believe that end justifies the means. Obviously, beautiful women are roped in to boost their basic business instincts. For example, the popularity of an airline in poor nations is depends on the number of beautiful female crew members. So is the case with the success of consumer goods ranging from bath tubs to body-care accessories. Is it not marginalization of women clandestinely carried out by their counterparts? It is in more ways than one.
To put it briefly, commercial interests are extremely powerful, and there is not going to be a U turn with regard to the two views expressed; falling human values and marginalization of women. The onus, I tend to say, lies on the shoulders of women themselves.

When it comes to fulfilling one’s career dreams, countless factors come to play roles of different dimensions: factors like reputation of the institution and its location, the course and its content; personal attributes of the candidate and his or her commitment to the same are the three major ones.
• How important are these three in your opinion?
It takes a lot to enjoy career success in this world of competition. This write up is an attempt to see the importance of major factors like reputation of the institution, course content and personal attributes of the incumbent in terms of career success.
A cursory look at the three aspects of success, I tend to say they are equally important in several ways. Let me see how reputation of the institution works. Where a candidate is from is a matter of great interests for many recruiters. For example, high paying recruiters prefer candidates from premium institutions like IITs, IIMs and similar centres of learning located in metros. Doing a course at such an urban landscape attaches extra edges to candidates.
Besides this, what a candidate has studied is as important as where he has studied it from. This is very important today, because changes are taking place much faster, and those candidates who are able to do industry-friendly courses will be sought after by plum recruiters. For example, today success demands a lot of current market knowledge and technology innovations. So course content matters very much.
Where does personal attributes stand in this list? Where one studies at and what one studies and how successfully one is able to complete a programme meant for a career depends greatly on how committed, hardworking and talented a candidate is. Therefore, there is no wonder personal attributes come to play a decisive role in fulfilling one’s career expectations.
Over all, it is difficult to conclusively say that one aspect is more important than the other. All three are interdependent, and absence of any one may make the rest suffer, rendering career success difficult.

Specialization is becoming the order of the day in all professions, and there are not many who are prepared to go for general practicing of any academic qualifications.
How good or bad is this trend in your opinion?
Precision services are highly in demand these days and, as a result, the number of takers for general career practicing is dwindling alarmingly. Needless to say, this development has its own merits and demerits.
Let me see how health this development is. Primarily, specialization leads to extensive research and development in various fields. This will ultimately benefit the society in several different ways. Let me site an example. A management professional, say an MBA, can specialize in retail management. This particular area of management has great potential, and there will be great scope for his to furthering researches on consumer behaviours, their spending patterns, their likes and dislikes. Obviously, one will be able to offer great contributions in terms of personal success and national growth.
However, there is a flip side to it. Specialization may marginalize not-so-attractive areas of profession. This, in a social point of view, is not a health trend. Let us take the case of medical profession in which there are areas which do not look attractive to today’s ambitious medical professionals. General practicing of medicine does not look lucrative for many. Naturally, there is going to be great shortage for such practitioners. This will lead to great imbalance in the health indices of a society. This is dangerous.
To put it briefly, specialization in any profession is based on personal interests, market opportunities and prospects. So there is going to be specialization all the say. The merits and demerits of this trend makes me say s too much of anything is no good.

Five different approaches
1.
Mastering a new language is a great challenge for many. Some linguists hold the view that the challenge is due to the way people approach a language: Some people try to learn it in classrooms whereas there are others who try to acquire it all by themselves.
• Discuss the ins and outs of these two approaches.
2.
There is huge fall in the number of people in poor nations to take care of teaching and training, regardless of disciplines and departments. This is alarming.
• What all factors do you attribute to this alarming state of affairs?
• What suggestions can you put forward so that teaching would become attractive?
3.
There is a growing trend in developing nations that makes women and their physical virtues instruments for promoting commercial interests. Some say this is a clear sign of materialism taking over human values whereas there are some who feel that it is a case marginalization of females by the male-centered market forces.
• How right are these two views in your opinion?

25 Ways to Make Time for Fitness
The rest of the tips will follow
Most common excuse for not exercising? Survey says: “No time.” But examine that excuse at close range and you’ll see it’s usually about something deeper, says Lavinia Rodriguez, PhD. “Typically, it’s lack of motivation, lack of enjoyment, negative associations, fear or maybe low self-esteem,” she says.
Busy as we may be, we have less trouble finding time for television, social networking or even dull household tasks because there simply aren’t the same steep psychological barriers to those activities.
If you want to exercise, you’ll make the time. We interviewed psychologists, exercise scientists, celebrity trainers, authors and busy everyday people to get a handle on the 25 most promising strategies.
1. Make a Plan.
“The best way to make time for exercise is to have a written plan,” says Chris Evert, 18-time Grand Slam tennis champion. “Decide on the best time for exercise in your schedule and actually enter it into your computer or cell-phone calendar as a repeat event. This way it shows up daily and there’s less chance of you scheduling something during that time. Also, when you check your schedule in the morning, you’ll see it there and form a mental picture of when and how you’ll be exercising that day, which helps you stay motivated.”
2. Subdivide Your to-do list.
Rather than making one long to-do list you’ll never complete, divide your list into three categories. “It’s not enough to get things done,” she says. “You need to get the right things done. It’s OK to have dirty clothes in your hamper. It’s OK if you don’t read every email the moment you receive it. It’s not OK to cheat your health.” Druxman suggests the following to-do list makeover:
• Take out a sheet of paper and create three boxes that represent the most important parts of your life (e.g., family, work, yourself).
• List the top three to-dos that would make the most difference in each category. For family, it might be cooking or helping with homework. For work, it might be returning phone calls or completing a presentation. For yourself, include exercise, plus something else nurturing, like calling a friend or having a healthy lunch.
• Finally, block out times on your calendar for those specific to-dos, and honor those very specific commitments.
Having trouble deciding which to-dos are most important? “Think about the things that will have the most impact not just today, but a year from now,” Druxman says.
3. Find five minutes.
Even if your day is packed with meetings and other commitments, you absolutely can eke out five minutes for yourself, says Simmons. And that simple act of self-care has the potential to change your life. “I tell people it’s OK to start very, very small.” A five-minute walk now can easily turn into daily 30-minute walks a few weeks from now. “You have to start somewhere,” he says.
4. Limit screen time.
Don’t aimlessly surf cable channels or the Internet, says Rodriguez. That’s a surefire way to waste time you could be spending in more active ways. Before you sit down, set a time limit (consider keeping a kitchen timer nearby to alert you when time’s up). Most of us occasionally watch shows we don’t love because we’re bored. “Consider trading just 30 minutes of that low-value television time for exercise,” he says. “My guess is you won’t miss it.”
5. Be an active watcher.
When you do watch TV, make the most of it. Do some ball-crunches, planks, yoga poses, squats, lunges or pushups while you’re watching. Keep fitness equipment, such as a kettlebell, resistance bands and a jump rope, near the TV. Or use the commercial breaks to mix in brief cardio intervals. Run in place or up and down the stairs; do some burpees or jumping jacks.

Some people think it would be a good idea for schools to teach every young person how to be a good parent.
• Do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
• Describe the skills a person needs to be a good parent.
There may be differing views on what schools should teach the young, and the one view in question that schools should teach the young how to be a good parent sounds rather too much to be accommodated. Let me prove it.
We all know that school is a platform for the young to groom themselves into what they actually are and what they are capable of. Making children learn how to be good parents is just one of the roles of schools. This role can be facilitated by incorporating a few lessons in the curriculum. On the other hand, expecting schools to be places that make every young how to be a good parent sounds premature to me because school has enormous other roles that help a student lead a meaningful life. Being a good parent is just of the parts of a meaningful life.
My disagreement is on a question: are students prepared and matured to pick up the lessons on how to be a good parent when they are at school? Besides this, I do not think that a young person with right knowledge on how to be a good parent will be able to lead a meaningful life; rather I sternly believe that the purpose of schooling is to make one lead a meaningful, productive and civilized life. Lessons on how to be a good parent can be taught by parents themselves, if need be, or schools can contribute to it by way of curriculum amends.
Looking at the view in question, I tend to conclude that it is premature to make every young learn to become a good parent. Rather schools have got many other roles than this. However, it is fair that children learn a few things on parenting.

In many poor nations the divide between the rich and poor is becoming wider much faster today than it was in the past. This rising tempo is attributed to several different factors.
• Identify a few prominent factors that lead to this state of affairs.
• What all ways can you suggest to decelerate this trend?
The speed with which the rich become richer and the poor poorer is greater today. This write up is an attempt to identify a few reasons for this rising speed and to make some suggestions to slowdown this process.
The first thing that strikes my mind is the speed with which technologies change. This momentum offers the-already-rich enormous opportunities to make their wealth work further. For example, the rich are able to enjoy better education, enterprises and employment. Obviously, they become more powerful. This power of money makes the poor suffer. They naturally go poorer.
Rising competition is the second most prominent reason. When the rich go enjoying the bests of life, the poor too feel like doing so. So the latter picks up a tendency to spend whatever they earn. Earning more and spending more than they earn become their way of life.
Anyway things are not that bleak. We can reduce the speed with which this gap goes wider. My first suggestion is to make uniform quality education accessible and affordable for all. Secondly, there should be national system to reduce inflation, and government may interfere in the market and control prices of essentials. This will help the poor greatly and they may be able to save a little everyday. Thirdly, the super rich need to be taxed heavily, and the fund generated thereof needs to be channeled to the uplift of the poor.
Looking at the reasons, I find it right to say that the rich poor gap is going to be still wider in the days to come unless some proactive measures are taken. The fact is that this divide has always been there, but the need for controlling it is much higher.

Rising competition is the second most prominent reason. When the rich go enjoying the bests of life, the poor too feel like doing so. So the latter picks up a tendency to spend whatever they earn. Earning more and spending more than they earn become their way of life.
Anyway things are not that bleak. We can reduce the speed with which this gap goes wider. My first suggestion is to make uniform quality education accessible and affordable for all. Secondly, there should be national system to reduce inflation, and government may interfere in the market and control prices of essentials. This will help the poor greatly and they may be able to save a little everyday. Thirdly, the super rich need to be taxed heavily, and the fund generated thereof needs to be channeled to the uplift of the poor.
Looking at the reasons, I find it right to say that the rich poor gap is going to be still wider in the days to come unless some proactive measures are taken. The fact is that this divide has always been there, but the need for controlling it is much higher.

Some people are of the opinion that uneven distribution of wealth among citizens is causing greater concerns leading to many social evils and disparities.
• Do you agree or disagree with this view?
• Do you think it is possible to achieve even distribution of wealth?
Social anomalies are as old as human life, and there are innumerable causes for the same. When wealth lands in the hands of the minority, there is great room for social evils. However, even distribution of wealth seems to be something next to impossible.
Not many would deny the fact that almost all social evils get generated out of some wants: either it is want of food or shelter or education or employment or wealth. In such a scenario, uneven distribution of wealth is likely to precipitate many social evils because the wealthy are immune to such wants.
For example, let me talk of a society in which a few are filthy rich and the greater majority is either poor or deprived. This divide will ultimately lead to disparities education, healthcare, employment, social statues, to mention a few. The result is unemployment, poor health, divided education and the like. Needless to say, it is all due to the uneven distribution of wealth.
However, in today’s world of opportunities, ensuring even distribution of wealth is rather difficult, to tell the truth. Today, many people are free to move far out and they are able to enjoy better income generating education and employment. This naturally makes them wealthy. For example, IT educated people and management professionals earn hefty pay packages compared to others. They are able to make great differences in their life and, obviously, not all can do this. The outcome is wealth gets distributed unevenly.
In short, uneven wealth is able to encourage many social evils. But the sad fact is that wealth cannot be evenly distributed. Here I tend to add that greater number of people may get wealthy, but wealth as such will always be uneven.

Great many youngsters are of the opinion that their attitude towards food and dress culture is a matter of choice, and it is not a matter of concern that such cultures change as time passes by.
• Do you agree or disagree with the view? Support your view/s with examples from your life or surroundings.
Change, no matter what it is, is the order of human life. However, certain things do need to be kept free from changes. Food culture and dress culture are two such things. Undermining these is a matter of some concern.
It is a matter of concern that modern generation finds it alright to undermine food habits and dress cultures. The primary concern is that the food culture is something unique to all cultures. For example, in our culture, a set of white dhothi and shirt is the typical outfit goes with men at auspicious occasions. The same way women have their own; like saree and all that come with it. So is the case with food culture. Three times traditionally prepared food is the order of our culture. And occasional changes in this have always been welcome, though.
On the contrary what happens if all cultures happen to endorse the view that it is a matter of choice! This will create wrong precedents, and the coming generation may happen to be dependent on alien foods which may not be in line with their metabolic requirements. For example, the health indices of a community hinge at its traditional food habits. Wrong food leads to health risks. The story will be a little murkier with regard to dress. Dress culture identifies itself with people and it happens the other way round too. A generation simply cannot turn its coat saying it is a matter choice. It is a concern indeed.
In short, looking at the changing attitude towards food and dress cultures, I am inclined to say, the food culture of a populace determines their health status itself. When it comes to dress, it is right to add that it often proclaims one’s culture too.
