Though aqua-tourism prospects are widely being exploited world over, it is a fact that this tourism is doing much more harm than good to people and ecology. So it is to be discouraged.
Essay 066
• How far do you agree or disagree with this?
It is a fact that aqua tourism, as a tourism genre, is doing great harm to people and ecology since it operates on water. So the need for discouraging it is important, but we cannot simply ignore its potentials though.
Keeping the available water clean and preserving water reserves undisturbed are of greater importance than what water based tourism is likely to generate by way of revenue. It is evident and a fact that many automobiles are on the move on water, and the effluences they discard are doing great harm to the biodiversity. Coupled with this is the wasting of fresh water for entertainment purposes in water theme parks. Conducting races on water, taking expeditions under water etc disturb aqua life. So the need for discouraging aqua tourism is felt more today than ever.
However, aqua tourism as an industrial component is so powerful that it is able to generate great revenue and employment opportunities to people. So it is hard to simply ignore it, rather, instead of promoting further activity on water, we may be able to develop efficient alternatives to ensure that water bodies are not harmed. Since the whole world is facing pollution based problems leading to shortage of drinking water, wasting water for tourism is not a good idea.
To conclude it, it is right to say that any development exercise needs to be sustainable and eco-friendly. Otherwise, life on earth in the long run may not be possible. So, aqua tourism does need to be water-friendly.

Some people say that it is a good idea to make periodic medical check ups compulsory for all adults so that the health status of a state can be better kept, whereas some others say maintaining health status is more personal than institutional.
• Look at both the views say what you feel about it?
It is a fact that health status involves several factors. Periodic medical check up is one of them. However, coming to compulsory medical check up, what is I is feel that keeping health status is more a personal responsibility than institutional.
Let me prove that compulsory medical check for adults cannot do much to the general health status of a populace. Undergoing medical check ups is one thing and going through a medical regime subsequent to a check is something different. In a national perspective, we cannot expect the whole adult population to be strictly following what ever is medically advised. Social status, per capita income, gender difference, nature of employment, to mention a few, of people may vary and not many can stick to the instructions given after every check up.
On the other hand, if people take it as a point that being healthy is something great and, thereby, able to understand that prevention is better than cure; they will be able to keep their health status all by themselves. For example, informed people will eat right, work out well, stay away from hazardous habits, go for periodic check ups and identify health risks in time, and they will invite medication whenever needed. This will lead to better health status, of course. So health status is more personal than institutional in many more ways than one.
Therefore, looking at both the views, I find it right to conclude that health status of a population is determined more by personal interests than by institutional involvement. Compulsory medical checkup is fine, but it is fine just for the sake of checkup, not for anything else.

Production and consumption of energy in the US 1950-2000 and 2025
Ajapeesdoc.23.5.011
Here we have a line graph on production and consumption of power in the US from 1950 to 2000, and the projected figures for 2025 also given. Energy is calculated in British Thermal Units (1=1 quadrillion).
In general production and consumption show an upward trend. In 1950, there was a slight difference, and in the following years, there felt an upward spiral. The figures stood between 25 and 40 units, but in 1975, production touched almost 60 units and consumption stood slightly above the same; the increase is above two-fold.
But, over the years, say between 1975-2000, production stood below 60 units, but demand went far above 80, and the difference was offset by imports. This variation continued till 2000 making a huge difference of nearly 30 units. In short, the US witnessed a three to four fold increase in demand and supply of power.
Coming to the projected figures, there will be huge difference in 2025. It may be by the tune of 60 units, from nearly 80 to 140 units.
Concluding the report, it is right to add that the US will have to depend too much on imports to keep its power supply-demand equilibrium in future. 190

There is an argument that development refugees - people who get displaced by development projects - hardly get any benefit out of the projects they themselves facilitate by forfeiting their places of existence. This is a violation of basic human rights.
Essay 079
• How far do you agree or disagree with this standpoint?
Today, almost all developments displace some people. But there is hardly any provision to ensure that these development exercise need to look into the welfare of the people who facilitate the very project itself. It is a violation of human rights to a greater extent.
Governments and corporate giants have ambitious projects. Of course, these projects are to meet the mounting needs of humans. However, implementation of a project demands space, and most of the time it is occupied by people of different statuses. These people are forced to move out upon offers of rehabilitation. But the fact remains that they are not going to find a trouble-free life in a new locale. At the end of the day, the projects come up and the benefits hardly visit these people. This is inhuman and against basic human values. I would rather call it a clean case of human rights violation.
The above argument notwithstanding, we cannot ignore the fact that there are certain projects which demand the people to vacate themselves. Sensitive areas like defense, aviation, research and development demand voluntary participation. And, most of the time, ordinary people may not be the immediate beneficiaries. However, they lose their place of sustenance. In such cases, there needs to be a system in place to rehabilitate people to much more comfortable areas than the places they had forfeited. It is a kind of rights protection.
Concluding it, it may be said that development and the resultant refugees are going to be regular affairs. So, it would be wise to have a permanent and humane rehabilitation policy so that the question of rights violation can be sorted out.

Some people say efficient management of human resources of a nation is the best way to achieve long-term development goals whereas there is another view that it involves many other factors than just human resource management.
• Discuss both the views.
Opinions may differ on how a nation can achieve long term development goals. But not many would deny the view that it involves several different factors. In my opinion, wise human resource management is the most crucial of those factors.
It is a fact that all development exercises are carried out more by human resource than by anything else. Let me cite an example. Research and Development (R&D) is crucial for achieving long term goals. Who is going to do these? No doubt, it is people. Right people I would say. So, it is mandatory that right human resource needs to be identified, developed, deployed and directed rightly according to needs. If this is done time to time, there is great scope for development, and achieving future goals may not be that difficult for any nation. It is the best way of course.
However, we cannot ignore other factors that contribute to future expectations. The primary thing is that there needs a stable system of government with great vision to achieve things time to time. What follows this is political will. What I mean is that administrators, political heads and intellectuals should be there all the way to chalk out plans and projects. It is their will to take the nation forward that makes the rest follow. So, a stable government, political will and experts to give a sense of direction are the other decisive factors.
Discussing both the views, what I feel is that long term development milestones are possible only if there is concerted effort from all quarters. Human resource management is the first thing, but the rest are not unimportant either. I feel so.

Though poor nations are known for great human resources, these nations run short of efficient manpower to hold offices of higher education, research and development.
• Why is this disparity?
• What are the implications in the long run if it goes on like this?
Though shortage of human resources to man offices of higher learning and research is seen everywhere, it is more common in richly populated poor nations. There are reasons for this, and this has great social ramifications in future.
The first thing that precipitates this disparity is migration. These days, migrating to greener pastures is a daily affair, and millions of nationals from poor nations find their dream destinations in richer economies. Secondly, in poor nations early career selection is much more common than it is in rich nations. As a result great many youngsters skip their higher study options and end up in careers. Thirdly, I believe it is the poor attraction higher rungs of studies and research has. This is more due to poor status of the nation than of anything else. Maybe there are other reasons too.
From a social and national point of view, high caliber manpower shortage is dangerous. It is intellectual property that propels a nation to future expectations. This will not happen if there is shortage. Secondly, poor nations will never be richer or better. Thirdly, the intellectual property of these nations will be exploited by the rich and they, in turn, turn richer and powerful. Besides, poor nations will have to import know-how and expertise. This is extremely unaffordable for poor nations. There are several other implications too.
In short, human resource shortage as such is detrimental to any nation, rich or poor. Needless to say, the long term implications are bound to make such nations still poorer. Encouraging higher learning is the need of the hour for poor nations. That is what I feel.

Advocates of equal gender representation argue that higher education facilities need to be distributed equally between males and females whereas there are some others who feel that such a system would put higher education in disarray.
• Discuss both the views and put in what you feel about the first argument?
The right to higher education is equal for both the genders in all democracies. But, coming to earmarking higher education facilities equally between them, I tend to say it would be better to keep them open for both than equally distributed.
My argument favouring the second opinion is that doing higher education is more a matter of attitude and interest than one of right or entitlement. For example, a boy who has got great interest in doing some higher studies may not be able to find a seat of his choice if there is a stipulated number of seats for boys, and of course for girls. Secondly, demographically speaking, the numbers of boys and girls who go for higher education have never been equal even in the most advanced of democracies.
Let me see the first view of earmarking higher education seats equally. If it is set so, there are a few dangers. Firstly, a right candidate may not find a slot, and many wrong ones will find their places, too. Secondly, there is a possibility of seats remaining vacant for want of enough takers. For example, let us take the case of mechanical engineering. Boys are more interested in it than girls. Obviously, the seats set for girls may not get filled. This will lead to great losses in terms of infrastructure, faculty and allied facilities.
So, in short, what I feel about the first argument is that it is not only reasonable but unrealistic as well to keep all, I repeat, to keep all higher education seats equally divided. Rather it would be better to keep all education opportunities open for all.

E. tutoring and e. learning is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. This virtual learning platform offers great advantages for tutors and learners alike.
Essay 099
• Do you think its advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
E. tutoring and E. learning are very common today. This is mainly to the mounting popularity of the Net as an interactive medium. Obviously, both tutors and learners reap benefits, and in my opinion, it offers enough advantages to outweigh the disadvantages.
Online tutoring and learning offers several advantages for both the parties involved. Primary advantage is that it works 24/7 and round the year. Tutors and students can benefit each other by way of interaction, education and value addition. Secondly, it is a virtual learning experience as tutors could be from different nations, and so could students be. It is a kind of exchange. Thirdly, this is a great employment provider. Educated, employed and even retirees could make use of their free time and earn a lot of money. It is a win-win for all in more ways than one.
There are certain disadvantages for E. education though. Firstly, it is the limited possibilities for tutor-leaner face-to-face. This may dampen the spirit of learning. Secondly, accountability factor may be absent because the authenticity or veracity of information imparted may not be reliable. This may harm students and their performance. Thirdly, we cannot rule out the inconveniences it is likely to cause with regard to geographical positioning of both the students and tutors. There could be a few more pitfalls anyway.
Looking at the positives of the concept, it may be concluded that negatives are not strong enough to counter the positives. It is all a matter of how we make use of it. What is there that does not have an unpleasant side? E. education is no exception.

When it comes to shops, 17% males were very satisfied and two times more than that number of females said, ‘very satisfied, 34%’. If we compare these figures with those males who were satisfied, it’s the highest percentage; 45%, but only 37% females said so. However, coming to dissatisfied lot, the figures are same, 20%. When 18% males preferred no comment, half of that number of females said so.
How shoppers looked at restaurants? Higher number of males seemed satisfied than females. The figures are 55% and 32%. But this is not so with very satisfied; it is 25% and 27%. Again males constituted the least number of dissatisfied, 5%, but four times more than that number of females were dissatisfied. Coming to no comment, figures are rather high, 15 and 20 for males and females.
Let us how they reacted to the design of the complex. 62% people were satisfied with it whereas 17% said they were very satisfied, and when 10% expressed dissatisfaction, the remaining 11% preferred ‘no comment’.
That is the end of the report.

This table shows data on quantity of grains exported to Sri Lanka from India and the figures, given in tonnes, represent every five years starting from 1999.
Let us begin with the figures of wheat export. In 1999 the quantity was 345 tonnes, but it showed a fall by 10% in the following year. However, there was a remarkable increase in the following two periods. When 2009 had an export of 400 tonnes, export went up to 440 tonnes in 2009.
If we compare these figures with that of rise, there are striking contrasts. In 1999 the export of rise was almost two times more than wheat and so is the case with the figure of 2004, 600 tonnes. Recoding an all time high increase of 50%, 2009 figures stood at 1050 tonnes but the following period did not make much difference, it was 1100 tonnes, hardly 5% increase.
Maize is the least exported grain. The periods 1999 and 2009 recorded the same quantity,150 tonnes. Similarly 2004 and 2010 had the same figure, 200 each. And finally coming to corn, with a fall of nearly 50% in 2004, all three periods had an export of above 300 tonnes.
All together, export of grains from India to Sri Lanka show varying figures over the years with rise being the most and corn the least exported grains in the given period.

Adventure sports
Wingsuit flying
The art of flying the human body through the air using a special jumpsuit that shapes the human body into a airfoil, with fabric sewn between the lets and under the arms, which creates a lift, once you reach a safe height, a parachute is developed and you land safely.
This is a suit meant for people bored of bungee jumps, for those willing to take one step further in the never ending quest for a risk-induced high. Of course you need to overlook the minor inconveniences of a silly-looking, clown-like costume.
But once one is able to conquer the dread of being seen in the silliest outfit, you are truly in for a wild ride. Imagine a free fall from heavens, nothing between and the earth. It is a minute where you are truly one with the universe after which you literally parachute back down to reality.
This is not merely adventurous, it is really a heavenly experience only a few daring alone can come to experience while they are alive. 170 words
Caving or spelunking
It is a recreational and adventure sport of exploring caves. In the last century, this activity developed into a sophisticated, athletic pastime. This sport activity adventurous primarily because, we all know, caves are unknown areas under the earth, and they can really be dangerous.

Cave hunting is really a pastime and adventure sport of many because we have got great historical reference about caves of all shapes and types, from old ages. There are cavers around the world who relentlessly pursue their dream mission of identify the myth of Aladyin’s cave.
The same way many people are interested in finding new unexplored caves to study the chemistry of cave formation, and their role in the ecology and the life and species that thrive in the darks of the earth.
Not many would believe that caves hid many mysteries like dangerous pools, huge pitfalls and labyrinthine pathways that would take a caver to nowhere at all. Getting lost in a cave is like getting buried alive.
All these risks notwithstanding, there are daredevils who pursue this sport just for fun, adventure and knowledge. 210 words

Over emphasis on industrialization is one of the major reasons for the mounting energy crisis. So it is a good idea to observe industrial holidays for some time as to achieve energy supply-demand equilibrium.
Essay 069
• Do you think it is worth a try?
• How can we meet the ever-mounting energy demands?
Energy security is the driving force behind the success of all nations. But of late countries around the world are facing problem with it due to over industrialization. It’s true that industrial holiday is a good idea worth trying though there are many other ways to offset this imbalance.
Though industrial holidays, suspending work for sometime, are being looked at with suspicion as they are likely to halt progress, it is worth a try because there are certain power crazy industries which may be halted for sometime; for example, manufacturing of luxury goods. Though the rich may not be happy with such a move, we can try it in select areas. There are certain industries which do not need to be working all year long. So power could be supplied to industries on a priority basis, and the power so saved could be channeled to meet the demands of other power needy sectors.
Besides this, there are many other ways to maintain energy demand supply equilibrium. Firstly, wise management of available energy. It can be done by cutting down on transmission loss and plugging theft. Secondly, consumers need to be educated about the value of power, and ask them to shun luxuries. And finally, there are enormous renewable energy sources around us like wind, solar and tidal energy. They could be tapped to meet the mounting power demands.
To conclude it, it is true that over industrialization is no good, but we cannot observe industrial holidays much frequently. So there needs to be initiative from all quarters to manage power and make other power sources work for the power grid of the world. Energy security leads to better life.

Many pharmaceutical giants try to justify clinical trials on humans to find out their (medicines’) efficacy so that they can be produced in large scale for the welfare of the whole humanity.
Essay 052
• Do you think it is right to conduct clinical trials on a few humans for the broader and larger interests of the whole humanity?
Clinical trials on humans have always been a bone of contention, and pharmaceutical giants clandestinely do such tests on poor people saying that it is for the general good of the world. In my perception, clinical trials on humans cannot be accepted on any count.
There is no denying the fact that humans are the most precious ones on this planet, and keeping their life going as long as possible is a matter of utmost importance. And for the same, medicine and medical care have a crucial role to play. However, ascertaining the efficacy of a new medicine does demand tests, and the normal practice is to run such tests on animals. But, the need for conducting such tests is on the rise due more to the mounting competition between pharmocos than to the need for developing remedial medicines.
All said and done, conducting clinical trials clandestinely or without legally binding consent is a crime against humanity because human life is no test lab and no human life is superior or inferior to any other life. So we cannot endorse the view that these tests are warranted for the well being of the whole humanity. Wellbeing of a person is as important as the wellbeing of another. This makes it clear that lives of a few cannot be sacrificed for the rest of the world. Life is so precious that no one is allowed to rule over it.
The above arguments make it clear that clinical trial on humans is anti-human . And, the arguement that ‘a few lives for the wellbeing of a larger world’ is ridiculous and against all human values. There are alternatives.
