Some social scientists say that poor nations need to enact a law enforcing minimum number of children a family can have, and thereby enabling the State to withdraw support for the additional child/children in matters like education, employment and healthcare.
Essay 010
How far can you agree with such a law?
Do you think it is right to withdraw support for all additional children?
It is a matter of great concern that population is increasing phenomenally in third world nations. In such a state of affairs, a law on population control is timely, and I find it agreeable to a greater extent. But, I cannot support the provision that the State can deny support to extra child/children.
Rising population is no good anymore. There are several different measures being implemented to curtail population growth. But the impact of such measures is not visible either. Therefore, a law on minimum number of children is timely and worth considering. Firstly, when people come to understand that State wouldn’t support additional children, there would be change of attitude towards having more children. And there will be visible changes in all walks of life thanks to stabilizing population rates. For example, this law is already in force in China, and there are evidences to prove that it works in there.
However, I find it difficult to support State’s denying support to extra child/children. My one and only argument against this idea is this, that the factors that make a family have a certain number of children are more powerful than the provisions of a law. For example, social status, gender preferences, personal likes, family obligations and so on would make parents go for more children. Undoubtedly, such children would come to millions and no welfare State can ignore their well being. Therefore, simply cannot endorse such a provision.
So, to conclude it, a law on minimum number of children is good in many ways, but the State has to support additional children conditionally. If this is done, a law on small family norm would have greater number of takers in the days to come.

Right information on healthcare will make great differences in people’s attitude towards health and well-being, but limitless access to medical information will do more harm than good.
Essay 001
Discuss both the views.
Getting rightly informed is of course good. But getting excessive information is not only bad, but it is dangerous also. When right knowledge on healthcare helps people achieve better life and well-being, excessive access makes it highly dangerous.
Getting informed is entirely different from getting rightly informed. When it comes to awareness on healthcare, this is extremely important because, medical know-how can make people lead healthy lives. For example, people will develop a tendency to be on guard against infectious diseases; they may make periodic check ups mandatory; they may follow healthy lifestyle practices; and some may even make it a point that they live a life in tune with what their knowledge on their health dictates. In short, appropriate knowledge on healthcare will change the very way people look at their health and well being.
On the contrary, if medical information is dispensed without any limit, there is danger. For example, people who have got huge stock of knowledge on medicines, diseases and treatments may go for self medication; some may try over medication and some others may even go for poor medication out of fear. Apart from all these, wrongly informed people have a tendency to do doctor hopping and demand for diagnostic procedures, thinking that they are suffering from severe medical conditions. Needless to say, all these practices are dangerous in a healthcare perspective.
To be precise, being aware is a blessing, but being too much aware is a bane. However, since we cannot stay away from this knowledge flooding, we all need to be intelligent enough to identify what information is needed, and what is not, especially with medical knowledge.

While rising health education among people keeps them highly conscious of their health, extremely free availability of medical information through various media, on the other hand, keeps people highly anxious about their health.
Essay 002
How far is this true in your place?
Information is both powerful and dangerous. This is more so when it is a matter of access to medical education and virtual availability of medical information. While the former keeps people empowered, the other leaves them worried. This is true in my place too.
It is a fact that health education is on the rise. This is contributed more by media than by other social agencies. Anyhow, people, who are aware of health, are likely to be on guard against diseases, and they are able lead lives according to the dictates of their knowledge. For example, in our place great many people are found to be doing for periodic check ups and following healthy life style practices like following fitness regime, drinking boiled water and so on. Actually, this is a welcome development thanks to rising health education.
Unfortunately, today people are inundated by information on diseases, symptoms, medicines, diagnostics and surgical procedures. This is actually dangerous. This knowledge, instead of making them conscious of their health, leaves them at tender hooks. For example, people with too much health education may find themselves hypochondriacs. They may even go for forced medications. For example, in our place, some people who have got great access to medical knowledge feel afraid of their health status. It is their excessive knowledge on health that makes them anxious. This is a reality in my place.
In short, unless we are able to identify what information makes us conscious of our health and what makes us anxious, any information on health is dangerous. I hope everybody takes note, including the people of my place.

Health consciousness among people is on the rise thanks to education and free access to medical information of all types. Some people feel that it is a welcome development, whereas there are others who feel that it is dangerous.
Essay 003
How good or bad is rising health consciousness in your opinion?
Information is both powerful and dangerous. This is more so when it is a matter of access to medical education which keeps people’s health consciousness on the high. What I feel is that rising health consciousness is good, but, unless it is wisely managed, it will be dangerous.
Compared to olden times, people today are well informed of health and the risks involved in following unhealthy lifestyle practices. This is thanks to the availability of medical information and access to the same. Actually, it is a welcome development, because many people are prepared to go for periodic medical check ups and follow diet and fitness regimes in order to lead a healthier and longer life. For example, the number of those who spend time and money for health is much higher today than it was in the past. This is really encouraging.
However, there is another side to it. Rising health consciousness at times keeps people more anxious than conscious of their health. For example, access to information on diseases, medicines and treatments makes people worry too much about their health. As a result, some people go for self medication, whereas some others go for over medication or poor medication. There are others who go doctor shopping and demand for diagnostic procedures and treatments. This is the dangerous side of rising health consciousness.
In short, any information is good if wisely made use of. This is more so with medical information and health consciousness. Needless to say, it is a blessing to be rightly aware of health and wellness, but it is dangerous too, if not properly managed.

Essay 004
Approach these questions objectively.
The mounting health consciousness among people is a positive development if we look at it objectively. On the other hand, virtual access to medical information may make people more anxious than conscious of their health.
It is a fact that health education is on the rise. This is contributed more by media than by other social agencies. Anyhow, people, who are aware of health, are likely to be on guard against diseases, and they are able lead lives according to the dictates of their knowledge. For example, in our place great many people are found to be doing for periodic check ups and following healthy life style practices like following fitness regime, drinking boiled water and so on. Actually, this is a welcome development and it is hard to say it would make people anxious of their health.
Unfortunately, today people are flooded with information on diseases, medicines, diagnostics and medical researches and developments. This is actually dangerous. This knowledge, instead of making them conscious of their health, leaves them at tender hooks. For example, people with too much medical knowledge may find themselves confused and doubtful. As a result, they may even go for solicited medication. For example, some people always feel afraid of their health status. It is due to the excessive access to medical knowledge they enjoy that makes them anxious, not the mounting health consciousness.
In short, unless people are able to identify the fine line that lies between health consciousness and medical knowledge, both the developments will be counter productive. Right health consciousness is good, but too much medical knowledge is dangerous.

There is an argument that extremely free availability of medical information and literature will do more harm than good to people.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this?
Getting informed is of course good. But getting excessive information is not only bad, but it is dangerous also. This is true with regards to medical knowledge. Unless intellegenctly managed, excessive access to medical knowledge may make things worse.
When it comes to awareness on healthcare, it is extremely important that people make use of their awareness for their well being, because wrong impressions on medical knowledge may harm people. On the other hand, if people are conscious of the benefits involved in medical knowledge, they will develop a tendency to be on guard against infectious diseases; they may make periodic check ups mandatory; they may follow healthy lifestyle practices; and some may even make it a point that they live life beautifully healthily.
On the contrary, if medical information is dispensed without any limit, there is danger. For example, people who have got great access to medical knowledge literature may go for self medication; some may try over medication and some others may ignore medication or opt for poor medication out of fear. Apart from all these, over informed people may have a tendency to do doctor shopping and demand for diagnostic and medical procedures. Needless to say, excessive access to medial knowledge and literature is likely to more harm than good.

Some social scientists are of the opinion that children are likely to understand the need for equal gender participation in real life if their parents are prepared to allow their children to actively participate in all domestic chores.
Essay 051
How do you look at this opinion?
Do you think gender participation is of some value?
Equal gender engaging is not likely to take place unless there is initiative from the family itself. This may be by engaging children in all domestic duties. Obviously, gender participation is of greater value today than ever, and our social scientists’ view sounds genuine to me too.
Achieving equal gender participation is not that easy as we think. Still, hopefully, if we could start from families - it is families that inculcate gender preferences in children - there will be light at the end of the tunnel. For example; parents can instill lessons of gender participation in children. This can be done by engaging them in all domestic activities irrespective of the nature of work. This will change the attitude from the grassroots itself, and this change will later turn out to be the order of the day.
It is obvious that gender participation has great value now. Today, life is taken mostly in terms of time, money and material. If these things are to be achieved up-to the expectations of all, there needs gender participation. For example, a nuclear family atmosphere demands mutual gender engaging, for working environment is 24x7, double income is the need of the hour and life is more a matter of competition than one of anything else. Here what makes things smoother is gender participation.
So what is it all in short? Parents need to understand the fact that their children need to engage equally well so that their life will be better. This needs to start from home itself. All good things need to start from home. So is the need for equal gender participation.

1.
Men and women are entirely different in several different ways. Therefore, gender parity is not at all possible, whereas they are so contributing each other that gender participation is very much possible.
Discuss both the views.
This discussion is as old as man. Still it remains heated as well. However, when I look at the first view, I find it reasonable and the second one on gender participation is really worth trying. This will do great service to both the genders per se.
2.
Some people believe that equal gender participation is able to do much more for the general human wellbeing than what gender equality per se is said to be able to do.
To what extent do you agree with this view?
There are different opinions on what makes general human life better: is it gender parity or participation? I for one am of the opinion that, in these times of opportunities and cooperation, it is better to be participating than claiming to be at par, the latter does not sound possible.
3.
Though much is said and spoken about gender equality across the world, the fact remains that it is not gender equality that is going to make changes in human well being but better gender participation.
How far can you support this idea?
Gender equality is a bone of contention around the world. However, of late, there is a fresh look at this issue that concludes that it is gender participation, not gender parity that makes real changes in human life. I find the idea worth supporting to a greater extent.
4.
There is a strong belief that boys and girls pick up the basics of gender disparity from their homes.
How far is this true in your place?
Gender consciousness is something genetic. However, when it comes to the basic of gender disparity and parity, family does have a greater role than anything else. Since lessons from the family get ingrained deeper in everyone, gender parity does not look possible.

1. It is argued that right to employment is a fundamental right and, if a State fails to engage its educated and productive manpower in some worthwhile income generating mode, it may be deemed as a case of violation of human rights.
· Argue for and against this view.
The argument that right to employment is a fundamental right is well founded because the educated are the ones who keep the nation growing. So their employment is the responsibility of the State. However, opinions differ when we take it as a violation of rights if the state fails in it.

Falling oil levels pose a great threat to the world in general. In order offset this burgeoning issue, some people suggest that rationing fuel is a good idea so that oil consumption can be cut down drastically.
Essay 071
How do you look at rationing of fuel?
What are the problems you see in its commercial implementation?
Not many would deny the fact that oil saved is oil produced. Therefore, saving oil or keeping the oil levels across the world steady is of paramount importance. In this respect, rationing fuel in my opinion is excellent idea, though there are a few practical difficulties.
Rationing is a system through which individuals are allowed get certain quantity of fuel for a stipulated period. This idea is excellent in more ways than one. Primarily, it makes people extremely conscious of the need for managing oil resources wisely. Secondly, wastage by way of unnecessary burning done by youngsters who take pleasure ride just for fun. Thirdly, oil ration cards would mean that certain measure of oil is assured to everyone round the year. And finally, reduced consumption will lead to reduced production which in turn would keep the oil levels from falling to alarming low levels.
All these finer sides notwithstanding, we cannot ignore the problems when it is commercially implemented. First of all, issuing fuel cards to all licensed automobile users is a huge task involving great amount of investment, infrastructure and technology. This situation is further aggravated by the fact that, if there is a technical snag, the whole distribution network would come to a stand still. A nation cannot afford to be halted by such a failure. And, finally, profit driven oil firms may not be happy with limited sales.
Looking at both the aspects, it may be concluded that rationing fuel is the need of the hour as the system is bound to make the planet breathe easy with enough oil for the coming generation. Of course, the problems need to be seriously looked into.

Some social scientists say that poor nations need to enact a law enforcing minimum number of children a family can have, and thereby enabling the State to withdraw support for the additional child/children in matters like education, employment and healthcare.
Essay 110
How far can you agree with such a law?
Do you think it is right to withdraw support for all additional children?
It is a matter of great concern that population is increasing phenomenally in third world nations. In such a state of affairs, a law on population control is timely, and I find it agreeable to a greater extent. But, I cannot support the provision that the State can deny support to extra child/children.
Rising population is no good anymore. There are several different measures being implemented to curtail population growth. But the impact of such measures is not visible either. Therefore, a law on minimum number of children is timely and worth considering. Firstly, when people come to understand that State wouldn’t support additional children, there would be change of attitude towards having more children. And there will be visible changes in all walks of life thanks to stabilizing population rates. For example, this law is already in force in China, and there are evidences to prove that it works in there.
However, I find it difficult to support State’s denying support to extra child/children. My one and only argument against this idea is this, that the factors that make a family have a certain number of children are more powerful than the provisions of a law. For example, social status, gender preferences, personal likes, family obligations and so on would make parents go for more children. Undoubtedly, such children would come to millions and no welfare State can ignore their well being. Therefore, simply cannot endorse such a provision.
So, to conclude it, a law on minimum number of children is good in many ways, but the State has to support additional children conditionally. If this is done, a law on small family norm would have greater number of takers in the days to come.

List of environmental problems:
Today the earth’s environment is in a sorry state. Wherever one looks, one encounters pollution. Forests are disappearing. The green patches in the city are being replaced by concrete buildings. Wastes are being dumped indiscriminately. Water is too toxic to drink. The air is unfit to breathe in. Global warming has become a menacing issue. There is a question mark over the survival of life on the earth. The human race is at the brink of a self-created disaster. Truly there is a surfeit of environmental problems today.There are a number of significant environmental problems today. They are as follows:
Loss of forest cover. Forest are being cut down for timber, construction and for obtaining extra agricultural land.
Air pollution. This is caused by polluting industries and vehicular traffic. Burning incinerators, furnaces and stoves cause it. Wind is responsible for spreading air pollution. The Ozone layer has been damaged because of the use of CFC’s (Chlorofluorocarbons) which are used in a number of industrial, commercial, and household applications.
Water pollution. Industries and factories release toxic wastes into the water. Leakage from oil tankers causes pollution of the sea. Pesticides and fertilizers also cause water pollution. Sewage released by cities into water bodies. It is predicted that there will be conflicts among nations because water will become scarce.
Overpopulation. The increase in human population increases demands for the water resources. More land is required for housing. There is increased demand for food for which more agricultural land is needed. More fuel is required. More automobiles cause more pollution.
Erosion of soil. When trees and plants are destroyed that causes increase in soil erosion.
Climate change and Global warming. Human activities cause climate change like increase in temperature. Many animal and plant species may be destroyed by climate change.
Introduction of genetically modified species. Humans are tinkering with the genes of various plants and animals. We do not fully understand how the introduction of new species will affect the environment.
When human aggression pressurizes the Planet, his fellow beings bear the brunt. The most unfortunate thing is, if our bees we find next flower dies out totally, human life will be impossible within five years’ time. But even if all humans die out, not even a single other species will suffer. They all will live happily ever after. Man is the most dependant species on the planet. Shouldn’t we mend our ways with our environment?
