More and more wild animals are on the verge of extinction and others are on the

endangered list. What are the reasons for this? What can be done to solve this
problem?

Complete the topic within 20 minutes. Write a 200-300 word essay.

MODEL ANSWER:

In recent times, mankind has been confronted with one of the most serious issues of our
modern life endangerment of animals. Animals constitute an important part of our
ecosystem. Without them, the cycle would disrupt and could result in life threatening
situations for all. The increasing needs of luxuries

The increase in urbanisation and industrialisation has consequently increased the

demands of the population. Coupled with a massive population boom, it is becoming
necessary to clear off new lands to build housing projects, metros, shopping complexes,
schools and hospitals. Such immense pressure on resources to provide for everyone
requires new industries and luxuries which are too, obtained at the behest of our
ecosystem.

When forests are cleared off, animals lose their habitat which in turn threatens their
survival.
Hunting and poaching are also one of the main causes behind the endangerment of
animals. Various body parts of animals are used for commercial purposes. Hence, to
satisfy these demands, hunting animals is common in the wildlife area.

Despite the setbacks, there are several steps that can be taken both at a governmental
and societal level to establish a safe habitat and prevent animal endangerment. Firstly,
the government of a state should keep a strict watch over hunting and poaching
activities. Also, development should be made in balance with nature. Reckless
exploitation of the environment for making houses or industries would harm us more
than benefit. Lastly, there are many steps we can undertake as an individual. It is
necessary we boycott products made out of animal body parts and do our bit to sustain
a balanced ecosystem.

In conclusion, people should always remember that man is a part of nature, not its
master.

Euthanasia is no longer acceptable in the modern society . Discuss the
solutions to accept this fact.

Complete the topic within 20 minutes. Write a 200-300 word essay.

MODEL ANSWER:

Euthanasia has been a topic of debate for decades. Euthanasia is the process of
providing a person or animal the painless death, if the patient is suffering from painful,
incurable disease since a long period such as Coma. It is also referred as Mercy
Killing or Physician Assisted Suicide in the modern terminologies.

Euthanasia hampers the religious, ethical as well as legal factors about any country or
geographical area. If we look at the dimension from the religious perspective, then
taking away someones life is seen as a sin. Even if done voluntary, the practice
diminishes the humans natural instinct to survive. The mechanism to fight from any
danger or diseases is something human body does automatically to survive. On the
ethical note, we have to accept that we do not have any right to declare death for any
person. Everyone has the right to fight for their survival which is deep rooted in the
psyche of every human.

Also, if the process of Euthanasia is not followed according to the proper terms and
regulatory forces, it has its consequences. The paralyzed, physically & mentally
disabled or dependent persons may suffer due to the corrupt practices carried on under
Euthanasia. There may be a vast possibility that due to less awareness or
commercialization, many innocent people have to sacrifice their lives. There is also a
possibility that people face the higher discrimination because of their physical and
mental situation compared to the current situation.

Hence, as a society, it is necessary to put & treat all individuals on the equality platform,
that can be done through non-acceptance of Euthanasia.

Nowadays, the mass media including TV, radio and news paper have become the
essential part of our lives. What is your opinion?

Complete the topic within 20 minutes. Write a 200-300 word essay.

MODEL ANSWER:

Mass media plays an extremely important role in our day to day lives. From education to
news to business, mass media has played a positive role in influencing different sectors.
While the disadvantages of mass media have been debated, the advantages have been
many. In this essay, I shall explain my point of view by analysing both sides of the
argument.

The introduction of radio and newspapers for the first time had changed the discourse of
public opinion. It is through radio and print media could people make informed choices
and learn about the world, which they were deprived of before. Communication has
been made easier and effective due to mass media. Emails, chat apps, telephones and
mobile have connected people from different corners of the world.

Not only has information sharing been made extremely easy, it has also facilitated the
growth of education sector as well. Online courses and web lectures have provided an
opportunity to students from diverse backgrounds to gain skills. Online marketing has
opened up opportunities for budding businesses to promote their product in a more
lucrative manner which cant afford advertisements on radio or the television.

Nevertheless, mass media comes with its own set of disadvantages. It is common for
some people to spread malicious content and propaganda. Also, the world of mass
media has taken over healthy social interactions for many individuals in our society.
Moreover, the web is vast and hence, it is difficult to regulate content.

In conclusion, I believe mass media has revolutionised our day to day lives in a positive
way. The use of mass media should also be accompanied by healthy discussions about
its disadvantages.

Nowadays, people spend too much time at work to the extent that they hardly
have time for their personal life. Discuss.

Complete the topic within 20 minutes. Write a 200-300 word essay.

MODEL ANSWER:

Very rightly said Excess of everything is bad. One such instance is excess active
professional life. One does not realise that in the race of being highly productive, the
personal life takes a back seat. In the quince to conquer that extra mile in professional
front i.e. complete that extra file, working overtime, we often compromise the most
important aspect of our lives.

Do you remember the last time you spent some quality time with your kids, your wife or
your parents? This is where our professional life fails despite offering us handsome
money. Without even realising that this is something we will never get enough of, we
keep pace. Money cant buy things that are most precious, one such thing is peace of
mind, and we find it in the simplest of things.

Its not like that one should not work that extra hour to improve or grow but the matter
here is to strike a balance between the professional and personal life, as asking for a
fine line of separating/ demarcation will be highly justifying. There is always an
opportunity to make a choice and our natural habit makes us choose money over
anything else as the mind justifies the substance benefit. Lets take out time for a
surprise holiday or just get home a bit early.

Lets make our health and relationships the priority, just sometimes and experience
the unobserved riches around us. This will not only help you rejuvenate but will also
help you perform better in the professional area as the limitation of office life monotony
will no longer obstruct your growth. The happiness is around her, within us. All we need
to do is, be observant.

ESSAY TOPIC
The newspaper is no longer a need in the modern society. What is your opinion?

Complete the topic within 20 minutes. Write a 200-300 word essay.

MODEL ANSWER:
More than 300 years have passed since the publication of the first newspaper. The
world has changed at a faster pace in these 300 years, but people still use a
newspaper. Even today denizens of modern society began their day by reading a
newspaper and sipping a cup of tea. Electronic media is becoming popular day by day;
still, print media exist simultaneously.

Reading news on the internet is fast and convenient. One just has to take out the mobile
and press some news app, thus can remain updated with events occurring around the
world. With in no time, the users of the internet can even read the live comments of an
incident. Hence, electronic media is fast dominating the print media.

When we talk about the convenience or ease of reading news articles, newspapers
stands out in the race. One has to open many pages to read all the news items in detail
on the internet. Whereas, one just has to turn the pages with hands and can read expert
opinions in newspapers. It will be painful for the reader to look into the screen of
computers or mobiles for hours. Such is not true in the case of printed versions where
readers can look into it for hours with much ease.

The majority of the people in this world lack access to the internet. So, the newspaper
becomes the only medium to provide them with updated news. Many citizens have
access to television, and they can get live news from the various news channel. This
news channel concentrates on particular events for hours, and the reader cant sit for
hours to wait for next topic. Such is not true in the case of newspapers.

Hence, modern society cant forget the newspapers. Both electronic media and print
media thus move hand in hand in this modern era.

MODEL ANSWER:
It is a well known saying and I personally support the statement. Time and again
humankind has faced mass destruction owing to the difference in ideas and beliefs. So
it is rightly said that groups ideology can sometimes cause suffering to a common man.

A good example is this regard is September 11, 2001, attack in the US which killed over
2900 people & injured 6000+ people. It caused an infrastructural damage of over $3
trillion. The impact of the attacks affected both society and culture in general. As a
result, general public live under constant fear.

The sufferings of common man in such incidences can not be expressed in words. It
has been observed that in the clash of opposing ideas, ideologies, or concepts it is the
common man who suffers the most. There are many nations or groups who use war of
ideas as a tool to promote their interests abroad.

The second example in this regard is of government who sometimes roll out policies
which are not in favor of the general public. Despite the negative response from people,
such projects find its place in governments agenda. Such decisions are forced onto the
public. Such cases form the perfect example of a common man sufferings from a
groups ideology.

Usually, a groups ideology is followed by the majority of the population, governments,

or other groups who find common concerns and interest as of group. Such groups tend
to work towards their members betterment and gain. For example, National
Organization for Women (NOW) mission is to advocate for equality and full societal
participation for women.

Many people have lost their lives and will continue to do so owing to the differences in
the way of thinking. It is the common man who has always been suppressed and
suffered. In future also it will continue if ideas are carried out before knowing its
aftermath.

MODEL ANSWER:

The law does not permit employers to hire or recruit employees based on their age but it does
exist in our society. It includes denying a job to a person due to their age or making the older
workers take early retirement. Many reports and survey suggest age discrimination is
widespread in recruitment. I personally oppose it and believe that discrimination against older
workers be made illegal.

For a particular profile in the workforce, all that matters is relevant experience and not the age.
Till the employee is performing his job in the best way, age should not act as a restriction.

Many studies show that ageist attitude is actively prevalent in workforce environment and
furthermore employers and young workers think that older workers lack the ability to adapt new
technologies and platform so they are forced to take early retirement. This negative perception
about older workers denies them their right to learn new technology or get training. There are
very little opportunities available for older workers.

There should be a law against age discrimination and prohibits discrimination in hiring based on
candidates age, promotions, wages, or termination of employment and layoffs. The government
should strictly implement such laws and made employer subject to fine or punishment if they
follow the trend.

Further, if any employee feels that he/she is subject to such discrimination then he/she should
complain to the higher authority. The Older Worker can also contact their union and present
their case. 1 in 3 Americans are 50 or older, and by the time we will reach 2030, 1 in 5 will be 65
and above. If age discrimination is still practiced in work environment then in some years
America will face acute workforce shortage.

At the end, I want to conclude that help should be made available to the older workers to
revalue their skills as their vast experience can help any company or development to grow
faster. Age discrimination should be banned legally.

Polygamy has increased widely in recent years. What solutions can you bring
forward to decrease this issue?

Complete the topic within 20 minutes. Write a 200-300 word essay.

MODEL ANSWER:

Polygamy is the practice of having more than one spouse at one time. Earlier polygamy
was limited to rulers and kings. Colonial education and laws put an end to this practice.
But polygamy is still widely prevalent in the society and increasing at an alarming rate.
The study reveals that this practice is not exclusive to Muslims but exists among all
communities: tribals, Buddhists, Jains etc.

There are various reasons and factors that led to Polygamy. One of the strongest
pertaining cause is the religious and cultural belief system, where the religion, itself
promotes the polygamy concept. Sometimes, due to religious beliefs, the legal system
also accommodates the Polygamy practice. For example, Islam supports the Polygamy
concepts and thus it is legalized to have multiple wives for the Muslims in the countries
like India, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Philippines and many more.

In my opinion, the best solution is to introduce strict laws & regulatory practices to
abandon
Polygamy. Not only the amendment, but the government must take the strict action for
the implementation of such laws. The women literacy rate should be encouraged as it
helps women to know their legal & fundamental rights and show them the path to fight
against the illegal issues. The women empowerment programs should be encouraged.
The women should be made independent & self- sufficient.

To sum up, the ensured equality in the society, awareness & practice of fair legal rights
can be helpful to decrease the Polygamy issue.

These days some people are involved in dangerous activities such as extreme
skiing, motorcycles jumping, Are you in favor? If yes then why?

OR

Pros and cons of extreme/ adventurous sports

MODEL ANSWER:

Whenever I see a dangerous stunt in the movies, I get goose bumps. My first reaction
is, Is this possible. So the seeds of excitement have increased by curiosity to attempt
the stunt. On the contrary, another part of the mind tells me not to be foolish as the stunt
may get me killed. So, extreme sports are dangerous, and one has to be careful while
performing it.

One should be aware of the limits, like beyond this it may be risky. Taking part in
extreme activities will help one in overcoming the adrenaline rush. Many tourists are
booking extreme skiing activities in one of the best ski resorts around the world. In the
beginning, these games are terrifying but as time passes one gets used to it. Moreover,
this risk taking factors helps in tackling stressful situations in our routine life.

If we are afraid of death, then our life will become hell. One has to master own fears and
enjoy the gifted life. There are many sports like football and cricket, which has seen the
death of players on the field. But cricket and football are not extreme activities. Hence,
there are possibilities that you may survive even by playing extreme sports. Some are
fortunate enough to get popular by creating world records or by becoming experts in
extreme sports.

Preventive measures are a must while indulging in these kinds of games. By following
safety precautions, the players can avoid minor or major injuries. Before going for
skiing, the participants must be aware of the dangerous slopes, how one might get
injured and others. Following the passion blindly can land you in trouble.

It is advisable to practice a lot before competing with others because practice makes
one perfect. To be on the safer side perform extreme sports along with experts or
professionals.

MODEL ANSWER:
In todays modern society mass media communication plays an important role in
shaping up of individuals opinions & characters. Mass media includes television,
advertising, the Internet, newspapers, magazines, and so forth. Some experts are of the
view that media reflects and creates the culture. I personally support this opinion. Mass
media has a great impact on our society. In this article, I will further discuss the
influence of mass media on society and on the general public.

Whatever we see or hear through mass media is thought to be correct. People believe
what they view on television or read in the newspaper without verifying the correctness
of news. For example: In 2008, an 8-year-old article of financially moribund United
Airlines filing for bankruptcy in Bloomberg, a premier name in finance news left
everyone in jitters. United Airliness stock nosedived by 75 percent. The airline was
doing very well before this outdated news cropped up. The trading was halted for an
hour to bring everything on track. This is a perfect example of what an unauthentic news
can do.

The general public gets more influenced by mass media than they think. We often see
advertisements of products promising slim and fit body which gives unrealistic goals to
young women. They take the women in advertisements as their quixotic role models.
This shows how young generation gets easily influenced by the mass media. We simply
believe what is shown is advertisement is best for us and thronged the stores to make
the purchase without actually knowing the product.

New forms of mass media like the World Wide Web & Discussion Groups on social
media are a danger to the society. The social platforms makes everyone vulnerable to
bullying and web attacks

At the end, I want to conclude that the statement given in the question seems to be
correct as it has been proven from many studies that people get easily influenced by the
mass media.
