International travel is becoming cheaper and countries are opening their doors to
more and more tourists. Do the advantage if increased tourists overweigh
disadvantages?
The past few decades have seen a considerable increase in the number of global
tourists. By decreasing the travelling costs, more countries have changed their
tourism trade policies to accept more travellers. Although there are many drawbacks
associated with this global trend, this essay will discuss why tourism trade is more
advantageous to the countries.
On the one hand, a potential disadvantage may be destructive effects on historical
buildings. Excess capacity of visitors flooding into historical areas causes the damage
and erosion of these valuable buildings. In addition, the damage that global tourism
has caused to the environment in many places is even more worrying. For instance,
Some visitors who travel to Africa for illegal hunting have endangered and extinction
some species of animals.
On the other hand, a primary advantage of more tourism is its positive impact on
economic income. In fact, for many countries, a large proportion of their national
income is provided by tourism. One particularly salient example of this is Italy - the
countless number of visitors visiting this country bring them millions of dollars each
year and several related job opportunities. A further benefit is the influence of the
tourism industry on the recognition of the country's culture at the global level. It
means that by increasing interaction between the host country and other nations,

they can introduce their cultural products and traditions to other countries.
In conclusion, damaging nature and the historical section would indeed seem
disadvantageous under certain circumstances. However, its positive effects in terms
of economic and cultural points of view override the disadvantages.

These days, people work in more than one job and often change career several
times during their life. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this?
Career progression is of pivotal importance in everyone’s life. The contentious
argument that whether frequent switching between various jobs is beneficial or not
erupts a heated debate among many. This essay will discuss the merits and demerits
of such practice, generally adopted by a person.
The advocates believe that changing jobs is more advantageous than being stuck in
the same place forever. Firstly, if a person grabs an opportunity, he will surely
experience a boost in his remuneration which indeed is an added advantage because
everything in this world can be bought with the money you have. For example, the
incremental amount received can be invested to secure the future of the family.
Secondly, one will get a chance to work on the new systems and technologies and
expand his learning. According to a survey conducted by Harvard University, 60% of
successful managers are those who have incessantly increased their professional
learnings throughout their careers.
On the other hand, the opponents, however, think that there are some
disadvantages as well. Firstly, a new environment sometimes proves to be
challenging. For example, one might not be comfortable enough to get along with
the new people and thus end up having a cultural shock. Furthermore, you may lose

all your reputation which you have built-in several years when you leave an
organization. In other words, despite having a very good relationship with your peers,
what happened when you would not be able to maintain effective contact with
them ?
In conclusion, I firmly believe that the merits of acquiring new roles undoubtedly out
weight’s the drawbacks and thus allow a person to learn more and achieve more in
his life.

The best way to solve the traffic and transportation problem is to encourage
people to live in cities rather than suburbs and countryside. To what extent do you
agree or disagree？
Increasing metropolises transport issues have become to the vital headache and try
to find an efficient solution. At the same time, several communities through
migration to rural and urban areas will help to reduce and decline traffic problems.
In my opinion, I agree entirely with top of this strategy. To Analysis from the
restriction of downtown space development as well as decline, societies use a wagon
to increase the centre living environment. Will prove this.
Overloading caused by migration flow from the countryside to the major centre is
the primary cause of the deterioration of the public transport system. To be more
specific, the metropolis's current bus and train scheme could not meet its residents'

2


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

demand for travelling and moving since the urban residents are growing due to
people relocating from urban areas. Moreover, these poorly operating systems
would not be appropriately maintained since it is costly to do so frequently. As a
result, road safety and efficiency would be affected immensely. For example, the

rate of road accidents in Hanoi increased dramatically within a 5-year period from
2000 to 2005 with the increase of its resident.
Apart from worsening the existing traffic problems, the policy of promoting people
to live in big cities would take a significant toll on the environment, which has been
damaged already. The growing urban population also puts enormous pressure on
the urban ecosystem, with many pollutants emitted into the air and the water. These
wastes consist of exhausted fumes released by transportation means and other
human activities. Most of the cities with high population density have to confront air
contamination and water pollution. Deli would be the best example of a big city
being affected profoundly by a reduced environmental condition, which is
significantly caused by it being overcrowded. Rather than solving traffic issues, the
suggested solution would push the cities toward a living condition crisis.
To sum up, while people, mainly residing in big cities occasionally shorten the
traveling time and distance, it more often poses a high risk of overloading trains, and
lower living conditions environmentally in these places. Thus, the government
should consider the limitation of this suggestion; otherwise, the transport system
and urban living conditions would suffer.

The society would benefit from a ban all forms of advertising because it serves no
useful purpose and can even been damaging. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?
All kinds of advertising have surrounded us recently. Therefore, people will
misunderstand the purpose of buying a product. In my opinion, I agree that we
should make a law in order to stop many advertisements to be exaggerated by the
companies. In addition, the companies have the duty for further impact to sell
promoting quality items instead of selling non-practical items to all clients.
Firstly, it is significant for punishing the advertisement if they have a negative
subliminal message to all customers. For example, I have seen broadcasts, relating to
cigarettes, which tended to use cheerful, energetic and positive ways to encourage
the younger generation to purchase them. As a result, this may cause young people

to misunderstand the real effect of the products if they do not have a doubt.
Governments have responsibilities for setting a law before advertisements are
revealed.
Secondly, an improper advertisement has to be forbidden in order to improve the
atmosphere for environmental advertising because they are lacking the insights for
marketing practical and useful items to society. For instance, the Taiwanese'

3


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

government monitors each advertisement, relating to lottery tickets before they are
released in public. Furthermore, citizens will not get the wrong recognition for the
products.
To conclude, it is essential to have a regulation for huge amounts of advertisements
to be confronted frequently. If we do consider mental health and expect to live in a
great environmental society, it will be one of the methods to target it.

The percentage of overweight children in western society has increased by almost
20% in the last ten years. Discuss the causes and effects of this disturbing trend.
Obesity among kids in developed states has risen by approximately twenty per cent
in the last decade. In this essay, I discuss the causes and effects of this problematic
distribution.
First, children in western countries are exposed to high fat and sugar content which
makes them prone to weight increases. Every other street in Europe has a
McDonald's shop or ice cream spot with specific sights on these young people.
Secondly, another cause is that a majority of these kids suffer from the lack of direct
supervision from their parents who spend most of their time at work leaving them in
the care of domestic workers. Young people refuse any instruction from domestic

helpers or order them around; this is how they get hold of foods that increase their
weight. As an illustration, my friend in Belgium once worked part-time as a nanny
and told me that there was nothing she could do when the boy in her care
demanded ice cream.
The problem with this trend is that affected countries might have their health
budgets constrained due to the rise in patients with obesity and other related
ailments. This is why the French government, for instance, once encouraged older
citizens to exercise with their offspring saying this practice is beneficial to both
groups. Furthermore, another effect could be that of schools and other social spaces
becoming centres of abuse and name-calling as the youthful population with big
bodies interact with others. Stereotypes are never healthy for the functioning of a
society. To illustrate this, the USA recently reported the tripling of suicide cases in a
space of four months and stereotypes based on race and the size of the body were
significant causes.
In summary, therefore, the statistics on overweight children in western countries are
not only alarming but also disturbing. This is because of the causes and effects I have
discussed in the essay above. There is a need to attend to the situation as soon as
possible.

Some people think human behaviors can be limited by laws, others think laws have
little effect. What is your opinion?
People have always wondered about the possibility of forming a person's character
just by enacting some strict rules and regulations. Others, however, argue that such
rigid laws cannot deter criminals from committing crimes. I personally agree with the

latter, and think that other measures must be taken abreast of the former group.
Firstly, the human mind rejects any limitations imposed on its freedom and thus
denies any confinement. Additionally, if one is not properly educated on how to be a
prosperous member of society, there would be no guarantee he would behave well
and inhibits any wrongdoings. For example, drivers are being fined by the police
more and more on a regular basis, which has no tangible effect on reducing the rate
of road accidents. Therefore, a robber who is sentenced to jail for a long period
suffers mentally, leading to his rehabilitation.
On the other hand, a vast majority of individuals state that internalizing the culture
of obedience is what can lead to a law-abiding society. In other words, a child who
knows the consequences of his actions would never turn to a felony and is scared of
the death penalty or life imprisonment. Thus, schools play an indispensable role in
bringing up our children according to the most practical and functional standards of
morality. For instance, a Canadian education centre has conducted an educational
program for primary school students to hear about the negative drawbacks of
murder from a murderer.
To conclude, even though the presence and importance of some laws can act as a
deterrent in modern society, the benefits of responsible parents to teach the best
human behaviours to children is not negligible. Lastly, obeying the rules can avoid
chaos in a community.

Some people think that it is more important to spend public money on promoting
a healthy lifestyle in order to prevent illnesses, rather than funding the treatment
for people who are already ill. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some people argue that allocating the public budget for ill people is not as important
as encouraging them to have a healthy lifestyle to prevent diseases. In my
perspective, it's better to nip the devil from the bud, so prevention is more logical
than treatment.
First and foremost, a huge part of ailments can be prevented by a healthy lifestyle.
Doing workouts on a daily basis, avoiding eating process foods, drinking sugary

drinks and smoking play an important role in preventing illnesses. If governments
invest more budget on educating people and informing them about these potential
threats to their welfare, they can save billions of dollars. Taking as an example, in my
country dealing with diabetic people's costs is one of the hardest issues for the

5


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

government. But by regular examination and avoiding sugary foods individuals can
protect themselves from this illness.
Furthermore, many maladies cannot be cured. Since lots of scientists have not found
any actual remedies for abundant diseases, it is better to consider personal hygiene
and a healthy lifestyle to avoid these. For example, once individuals become HIV
positive, they will be infected for the rest of their lives. This is also true for other
infections such as HPV positive and HBV positive. However, governments should
educate people about these viral diseases, which can be prevented by following
some simple protocols.
Some may argue that there are so many fatal diseases with heredity causes that
cannot be prevented. They think governments should have enough medical
infrastructures for curing these people, however, I think if governments save finance
by preventing preventative diseases, they can invest more funding on heretical
diseases. In conclusion, I completely agree with investing in giving education and
awareness to people to prevent illnesses, since most of the time treatments cost
more and many ailments cannot be treated.

Nowadays more people are choosing to live with friends or alone rather than with
their families. This trend is likely to have a negative impact on communities. To
what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

In recent years many people prefer to spend their lives alone or with friends rather
than with their own families. This particular trend is impacting negatively on
communities. I completely agree with this notion because people who are living
without their families are the ones who are suffering from major psychological issues.
Furthermore, when they choose to live with their friends then most of the people
are indulged in different activities.
The family comprises of various individuals who have strong relationships with each
other. Despite the fact that family is a support system, most people desire to live
alone or with their friends which is giving negative results among the communities.
Firstly, when people choose to live alone then they have no one to talk to them or
listen to them . Most of the time they follow the same routine due to which they
become stressed, anxious and depressed. These psychological disorders sometimes
lead to suicide. For instance, there was an article about suicides in which it was
written that most of the people especially youth end their lives because they go
through hard times and when they are not able to manage the situation then, at last,
they take their lives.
Secondly, when people live with their friends then they mostly get indulged in a lot
of different unethical activities due to peer pressure. For example, the use of drugs is
prohibited in Islam, however, when there is a group of friends they force each other

6


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

to do various activities which give them pleasure. This affects the community in the
wrong way.
In a nutshell, when people prefer to live alone or with friends rather than their family
then it affects the community in a negative way because they sometimes suffer from
psychological distress and also get into various sorts of activities which have

consequences in later life.

Pollution is becoming a major environment problem what are causes and solutions
to solve this 
 problem?
The most alarming environmental issue is pollution in the present era. It is mainly
because of traffic congestion and deforestation. However, there are a number of
solutions that could be implemented such as stringent rules for traffic control and
tree plantation campaigns.
Prominently the reason for pollution is air contamination by dust and hazardous
gases like carbon dioxide. In other words, an increase in the number of vehicles,
which run on petrol or diesel emits such gases that pollute the air. Next, because of
the growing population, people are in need of more land. Hence, they cut jungles
and that results in the loss of green trees and fresh air. For instance, in India, the city
'Mumbai' became a jungle of cement with huge skyscrapers and tremendous air
pollution made residents suffer from various air-borne diseases.
There are two effective solutions. One way to tackle this is to ensure that the strict
rule for traffic control should be implemented. The vehicles should be checked
regularly to avoid air- pollution. By doing this the air quality will definitely improve
and so the human life. Another method of dealing with pollution is, encouraging
tree plantation. This can be done by motivating school children and other people to
plant a tree, nurture it so that it could provide clean and healthy air into the
atmosphere. To exemplify, 'Chandigarh', a city in India developed man-made forests
in the city which makes it not only look beautiful but also incredibly diminishes air
pollution.
In conclusion, tree-plantation and traffic control are effective ways. If implemented
properly, the air pollution due to vehicles and deforestation would be controlled.

Nowadays, online shopping becomes more popular than in-store shopping. Discuss
the positive and negative aspects of online shopping and give your own opinion
about the topic.

In this advanced technological era, shopping through various digital commercial
platforms has been flourishing than ever before. In this essay, I will discuss its

7


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

benefits and drawbacks and the reason why I believe online shopping has more
advantages than disadvantages.
Firstly, for its negative influences, online shopping is not one of the believable ways
for customers to buy things. This is due to the fact that the quality and authenticity
of products especially those that are expensive such as technological devices or
cosmetic products are not fully assured. As a result, buyers can receive orders that
are completely different from displayed images. Secondly, people nowadays spend
most of their time surfing in numerous commercial flatforms instead of going
outside which can easily lead to repercussions such as unproductive work, unhealthy
body, sedentary lifestyle, etc.
On the other hand, we cannot deny various positive impacts that shopping on the
Internet brings to our lives nowadays. First of all, there is a variety of products for
customers to choose from when shopping through shopping websites. Additionally,
with the flourish of e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Shopee,… buyers can
consider numerous products with many different prices, reviews to make the
optimal decision. In addition, online shopping is considered as one of the most
efficient and convenient ways to purchase things, especially through the outbreak of
Covid-19. When cities were lockdown due to the pandemic, buyers can easily pay for
their basic needs with a click on the mouse, all the products would be packed and
delivered right to their houses.
In conclusion, there are some drawbacks and benefits to the improvement of online
shopping. In my point of view, I believe that its advantages were outweighed the

disadvantages because shopping online plays a vital role in the selling industry and
this is also an unavoidable improvement in humanity history mostly in the industrial
revolution 4.0.

The position of women has changed a great deal in many societies over the past 50
years. But these societies cannot claim to have achieved gender equality. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?
Over the recent years, women made a vast amount of changes and achieved a great
position in society. More and more women are achieving great things in their life
which lead them to have a better life. However, the question is, despite the success
of women, how far has society achieved gender equality? Society somehow rather
claimed that gender equality is still not achieved. I absolutely agree with this
statement. This essay will discuss this topic further in detail.
First and foremost, if we look at the achievements made by women, they are
immensely remarkable. In most aspects of life, women have already overtaken men
who are said to be dominant in every part of our lives. For example, in the career
aspect, women are becoming great leaders, owners of businesses and chief
executive officers in most companies. Additionally, the most fascinating thing is that

8


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

women even reached the position to become prime minister of a country where we
have been taught that only men have the capability to achieve these positions.
Therefore, it is apparently clear that the exceptional success of women is increasing
day by day.
While women are succeeding and breaking records in many aspects, society is still
struggling to practice gender equality. If inequality continues to exist, the

transformation of women over the years are still meaningless. We can see inequality
practices start even from home. To illustrate, the majority of families contribute to
gender inequality , in which only men have the right to make decisions at home not
only for the family but, for the women too. I believe that equality to women means
that the choices in their lives must be completely their own decisions. Whenever
women prioritize their choices, society tends to have negative perceptions of
women for not considering other people’s opinions and disobeying instructions of
elders, mainly family members. Thus, conflicts are often being created in society and
sometimes physical violence also can be seen in some families. This is where we are
lacking in achieving gender equality.
To conclude, the success of women has been proven in this new era, nevertheless,
gender inequality is still being implemented in some areas of life and the root cause
of this issue is from the way of upbringings by the family which leads to stereotypes.
Rather than giving negative opinions for women’s life on what to do and what not to
do, society should focus more on how to achieve gender equality in order to combat
the dominance and violence in society. Once we realize that gender equality is
important for both men and women, only then we will be able to live in a successful
nation.
12
Popular events like the football world cup and other international sporting
occasions are essential in easing international tensions and releasing patriotic
emotions in a safe way. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
Popular events such as global sporting cups or other World cups can be a good
reason for reducing world-spread pressure between nations and a safe way for
splashing feelings. This essay completely agrees with this statement. I believe that
play events can be necessary for international affairs and ethnic unity.
First of all, I really think that sports events may reduce tension among different
nations, and give a chance to understand each other deeply. For instance, In the
past, the Olympic Games were a big, essential occasion. During the Olympic games
wars and any other skirmishes stopped. People of different nationalities that were

tired of the war, gathered at the stadium and watched exciting competitions
together. That led to peace and mutual understanding between the sport supporters.
On the other hand, certain groups of people blame sports events for excessive
cruelty. Usually, sport such as football, boxing, or other active sport falls under the

9


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

charges. Since it is the fans of these sport who manifest themselves the most.
Because in some cases, several athletes fought with each other because they could
not cope with their temperament, and the situation provoked the fans to also fight
with each other. As a result, it also caused some tension in relations between the
countries.
In conclusion, I believe that international business games such as the European
Football Cup or other games are an effective tool in easing the tensions among
nations, but I think it is also important for sportsmen to control their emotions.
13
Recent research suggests that the majority of criminals who are sent to prison
commit crimes after they are released. Why is this case? What can be done to
solve this problem?
Nowadays, many offenders are likely to be more engaged in illegal activities after
serving their first sentence. This happens due to several reasons like applying
insufficient methods to rectify the guilty’s behaviour. The key to tackling this
problem lies in creating an in-depth approach in order to understand the person’s
psyche and purposes behind committing again.
There are several reasons why offenders continue to commit crimes after being
punished. First and foremost, a wrong strategy can worsen a person’s mind by
soaking him with the feeling of anger and revenge. For example, a harsher treatment

for minor crimes can motivate them to re-offend their misdeed. Similarly, short-term
sentences for major crimes may not influence their behaviours. Furthermore, there
may be a human need involved in the act of crime, which cannot be addressed by
just sentencing the guilty because they do not know the ways to overcome the
difficulties in their life.
To deal with such cases, it is necessary to create a more intrinsic approach that can
deter people from repeating their wrong behaviour and respect the rules. Firstly, the
form of punishment should be based on the root cause or purposes of doing illegal
activities. This is more likely to change their mind for a positive outcome. For
example, community rehabilitation centres should assess offenders’ mental abilities
through psychological tests to ensure that the wrongdoers are mentally and
emotionally fit before getting back to their normal life.
TO sum up, there are many factors that lead crimes to be committed again such as
social situation, family background. Therefore, it is vital to pay attention to what kind
of mistake and take appropriate corrective methods.

Teleworking has been on the increase in recent years. Do you think this is a
positive or negative development?

10


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

Many companies and employees have recently increased the use of telephone and
online calls for work purposes. I totally think this is a positive development. This
opinion is discussed below.
First and foremost, teleworking such as done by telemarketers and other call centres
has allowed companies to reach the wider populace even across borders compared
to marketing that does not use this kind of strategy. Today, for instance, a person in

Africa can even pick a call from someone in India advertising their goods and this
shows how widespread this practice is but as one British company narrated recently,
such a practice comes with huge growth in both the business and profits.
Secondly, telework is convenient for employees who can cover so much ground even
from the comfort of their homes. Meetings can be held, clients communicated with,
and deals finalised without having to set foot in the office. My friend, for example,
who works in a call centre told me that their company has a special application or
software that allows the workers to use their mobile phones to do official company
business. He said they no longer have to sign logbooks early in the morning or arrive
home late from work.
In conclusion, therefore, teleworking is a completely positive development as I have
indicated in the essay above. The work of telemarketers and the experience of my
friend described above are some of the issues I raised to support my argument. This
is a practice that must be used more in the future.
15
Fast food is now universally in most countries and is becoming increasingly popular.
Some feel that this is a positive trend, while others do not. What are your opinions
in this?
The growth of takeaway businesses has been warmly welcomed by many whereas
others think these are detrimental. My view is that fast foods cause illnesses but
they are somewhat convenient at the same time. This view will be discussed in the
essay.
First and foremost, food outlets use cooking methodologies that are fast-tracked and
packaging that promotes the growth of cancer cells. Unlike cooking at home,
businesses like KFC and Mc Donalds look to beat time limits and serve as many
clients as possible hence they compromise on the quality of the preparation process.
Secondly, many governments of the world have consistently castigated the
packaging used which sometimes comprises of material extremely dangerous to the
health of humanity such as heated plastics.
On the other hand, however, people continue to flock to KFC and other service

centres because it is more convenient to do so when faced with busy schedules. This
allows individuals to focus on other things like work and play and not worry about

11


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

what they will eat. Many of my college friends used to share this sentiment during
the examination period when they spent a majority of their time in the library. It
made sense to simply order chicken and chips online and get them delivered to their
doorsteps.
In conclusion, therefore, I am of the opinion that fast foods are unhealthy and their
popularity should not be considered as a positive trend. However, given the fact that
people lead busy lives, the convenience of such initiatives must not be overlooked
let alone underrated. This balanced perspective was discussed above.
16
Some people say that the best way to improve public health is by increasing the
number of sports facilities. Others,however , say that this would have little effect
on public health and that other measures are required. Discuss both views and give
your opinion.
Nowadays health problems over the world are still staying controversial issues. To
solve this, a group of people suggest to built new sports areas, to keep them always
busy. However, others disagree and are worried about useless results, asking for
another measurement to be done. In this essay, I will see both pros and cons of the
argument and provide some examples.
On the other hand, those in favour of creating facilities have valid reasons for
improving healthy lifestyle in society. This raises people's interest and leads them to
visit more sports areas nearby. For example, according to my observations, a
recently built stadium in my neighbourhood attracts a lot of youth also adults. It is

clear that more individuals prefer to go out and do exercises rather than stay a home
sitting.
On the other hand, there is a genuine concern that attempts to create sports arenas,
training areas would be waste of time or money, even in some cases lack of available
places to build other necessary buildings such as apartment blocks, hospitals or
schools. Indeed, sometimes people would not have enough time to go and practise
sports games. So, instead of ,this It would be better to encourage the public by
organizing different mass sports events, competitions including jogging, running
1000 kilometres.
To sum up, there are many opportunities to increase public health by constructing a
lot of sports facilities and it can be helpful to urge people to be in the open air much
time. However, sometimes it gives hardly noticeable influence on improving the
health of people and makes to find other ways. Personally, I believe there is no need
to install extra training areas unless encouraging nation with new methods.

The best way to solve the world’s environmental problems is to increase the cost
of fuel. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Environmental preservation is one of the most concerning and urgent problems that
challenge humans nowadays. For the sake of our planet, increasing the price of fossil
fuels like oil and petroleum is considered the most effective solution. However, as
far as I am concerned, I strongly disagree with the measure mentioned above, as it
does not completely solve the root of the situation, and there are a plethora of other
solutions which are much more effective.
To begin with, raising the cost of fuels may be theoretically beneficial to the world's

current environmental issues, but it just merely resolves the situation temporarily,
and it cannot work in the long term. It is undeniable that people tend to choose
another option to transit rather than taking private vehicles due to the high
petroleum price. This might result in lower oil consumption, as well as less nonrenewable energy being used, which might lead to a decrease in the exhaust fumes
emitted into the air, and slow down the worldwide ozone depletion. Nevertheless,
fuel consumption is inevitable, as it plays an instrumental role in every aspect of our
lives, such as manufacturing industries or agricultural purposes. If the cost of fuels
climbs up, it might provoke a decrease in our living conditions.
On top of that, I myself believe that this is not the best way to address issues related
to the environment, for there are other approaches that I find more effective.
Utilizing green resources such as wind or solar energy is a perfect example. Not only
are these sustainable resources environmentally friendly, which release no toxic
pollutants to the atmosphere, but they are also unlimited. For instance, instead of
using coal, wind and solar energy can generate a considerable amount of electricity.
To summarize, although increasing the cost of fuels does cut down the energy
stemming from non-renewable resources, I assume that it is not the best measure to
deal with environmental problems. Using renewable energy is also a feasible
solution to protect the planet that we should take into consideration.

Some people believe that women should play an equal role as men in a country’s
police force or military force, while others think women are not suitable for these
kinds of jobs. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
For the time being, the equality between males and females has never failed to
provoke debates among people. While some claim that women should be given the
same positions as men in the national police or military force, the opposite makes a
statement that they are inappropriate for these sorts of occupations. I am in the
middle of these schools of thought, yet, the latter cannot overshadow its
counterpart.

13

NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

It is understandable to note that women are not suited to these types of professions
since their muscular strength is not as superior as men. Obviously, men are more
physically gifted than women, especially in endurance or flexibility, which are the
determining factors for participants in such vocational orientations. For example, the
missions facing either petty ones such as stealing and robbing or the more hazardous
ones that involve murder or terrorism need officers or soldiers who are not only
robust but also durable to arrest and incarcerate those lawbreakers. Moreover,
without those features, they can be seriously endangered by their counterattack.
Consequently, women are regarded as less competent than men in these lines of
careers on grounds that males tend to fulfil the strength requirements than females
do.
While the drawbacks of women's innate physical abilities are widely acknowledged,
they must be given the same opportunity to serve in the army and police force as
men. Due to the advancement of technology, a wealth of weapon systems have
been computerized for the sake of armed forces. As a result, if women do not meet
the physical standards, they are still capable of playing a paramount significant role
in those jobs by cultivating their set of skills and building a firm foundation that helps
them optimize these tools. For instance, the International Criminal Police
Organization has successfully arrested numerous criminals, including the most
wanted ones. By using top-notch technology, they are able to track offenders and
redress several dire cases. Therefore, law enforcement agencies should recruit an
equal number of people of both genders.
In conclusion, that females are not only as agile and flexible as their counterparts but
also incapable of possessing a superior respiratory system puts a strain on their
career paths. However, women should be given equal chances to join the armed
military thanks to the development of technology.

Information technology is changing many aspects of our lives and now dominates
our home, leisure and work activities. To what extent to the benefits of
information technology outweigh the disadvantages?
As we live in a modern era, machinery has improved and mostly have impacted
people's life. In this essay, I will explain why information automation changes a
plethora of factors in our lives.
On the one hand, the advance of automation has dominated a total of aspects of our
life. Firstly, the invention of WhatsApp and Instagram was purposed to show a
beneficial mind on this trending. As numerous social media are created, we are able
to get in touch with our families and friends that reside outside our city or even
country. Secondly, there is a figure of information about health care that can help us
avoid the disease. To illustrate, we should use a mask and wash hands regularly to
avoid the coronavirus. Although this action might not ensure that we will not get
contracted, it can prevent nations from getting contracted.

On the other hand, the advance of machinery can pose a statistic of main challenges.
To begin with, family turn into addicted to their tool, therefore they grow into less
communicate with their friends. For instance, a group of young society gather in a
café, on the contrary,on the , contrary every one of them is busy with their own
contraption. Furthermore, technology that has improved can make the community
come distracted from their work activities. Many families give more attention to
their utensils and become neglecting the work that should be done.
In conclusion, while the upgrade of machinery might help a community in a sum of
factors, it can make the crowd distracted from their work and develop into addicted

to their widget. Therefore, on balance, I remain firmly convinced that the merits of
automation rise are eclipsed by the demerits.

Today the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising
and not the real needs of the society in which they are sold. To what extent do you
agree with these views?
Nowadays, business people take good advantages by creating too many
advertisements for consumer goods in order to increase their sales. Advertisements
have the power to attract more and more people to purchase the goods despite
their needs. I partially agree with these views with minor disagreements. This essay
will discuss the topic in detail.
First and foremost, the sellers manage to make high revenues by just advertising
their products with attractive images. For example, children’s products such as toys
are shown in a very creative way with colourful pictures of the items. As a result, the
compelling looks of the products influence parents to purchase those toys for their
kids despite the expensive prices and sometimes the items are not even useful for
their children. Therefore, the sales for the products dramatically increase.
On the other hand, not everyone is influenced by good advertisements. It is
undeniable that purchasing things are completely their choice. Advertisements could
not cause changes to their buying habits. To illustrate, even if the advertisements
displayed are high in quality, they often think twice about whether the items are
necessary for their daily needs before purchasing them. Even though it is inevitable
for them to come across appealing commercials, their extreme level of self-control
lead them to make proper consideration before deciding to invest.
To conclude, it is certainly true that the sellers make good money from different
kinds of unique advertisements. However, some people know exactly what they
want and what are unnecessary items that they should not purchase in spite of eyecatching advertisements.

Some people propose that smoking should be banned completely. To what extent
do you agree or disagree?
In these days and ages, there are many perspectives that whether or not cigarette
consumption ought to be forbidden totally. From my perspective, tobacco
regulations should be implemented to prohibit smoking in certain areas.
On the one hand, there are several compelling reasons for cigarette prohibition. First
and foremost, tobacco consumption has an adverse impact not only on smokers’
health but also on that of non-smokers nearby. This can be explained by the fact that
both active and passive smokers are at risk of suffering from lung cancer or heart
diseases because toxic hazardous chemicals in the smoke hovering around them can
be absorbed. In addition, nicotine addiction causes monetary waste for cigarette
smokers. To illustrate, they have to pay a certain amount of money for smoking
every day, and it is very hard for them to rehabilitate.
On the other hand, there are some opinions against mentioned statements. To begin
with, fees put on the tobacco industry play a vital role in the government budget. In
fact, heavy taxes on manufacturing and distributing tobacco products contribute to
the majority of the national budget. Furthermore, cigarettes are popular during
history leading to the forming of a specific industry that is challenging to be
prevented comprehensively. For example, it is a demanding problem for authorities
to find a solution to handling the employees after they are out of work because of
the prohibition against producing and delivering cigarettes.
In conclusion, I believe that smoking ought to be prevented in certain public areas
because of its risks. Authorities should implement laws to reduce consumption and
heavily fine individuals breaking the law.

Some employers want to be able to contact their staff at all times, even on

holidays. Does this development have more advantages the disadvantages?
With the advent of technology, many employers believe that they should be able to
be in touch with their personnel even during vacation. While it is necessary to be
able to reach out to your team during emergencies, I do not think being in contact at
all times is a good idea.
Even though it is vital that the employer maintains some form of contact with the
employees, it is absolutely unnecessary to disturb them during holidays. It is an
invasion of privacy and eats into the quality time spent by the personnel with their
families. Moreover, working even during the break would technically be considered
as overtime, however, the staff would not get paid more for this kind of setting.
Unless an employee has agreed to work from home or any other place, they should
not be bothered during their vacation. For instance, a recent study states that

16


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

working during your precious family time or holidays could lead to detrimental
effects on mental health as well as strain relationships with your family members.
Moreover, calling staff constantly whilst they are on a break will make the staff lose
respect for their employer leading to an overall feeling of disinterest in the job. For
example, it has been studied and proven that companies with the administration
who respect their employees' time and give them required space do much better as
a whole than companies with invasive administration. Good organizational skills will
deplete the necessity of contacting an employee during their vacation.
To conclude, employers should definitely not constantly keep contacting their staff
during their holidays, unless of ,course it is absolutely an emergency as there are
others in the office who can cover up for the employee. The disadvantages of this
kind of setup outweigh the advantages without an ounce of doubt.

Some people think that it is important for nurses to have medical knowledge.
Others think that other qualities are important. Discuss both views and give your
opinion.
It is often believed that nurses ought to have knowledge pertaining to the medical
field, whereas it is asserted by others that other traits are more significant. Although
medical knowledge should definitely be a part of nursing courses, I agree with the
latter notion and opine that some essential qualities apart from medical knowledge,
should imperatively be possessed by them which include soft interpersonal and
communication skills.
To begin with, nurses should have adequate medical knowledge, as per a group of
individuals. This means that not only should they have absolute command over
common medical complaints, but they should also be able to apply the knowledge
practically, since it is mainly the nurses who take care of patients’ medications
prescribed by their doctors; for example, immense chaos was fomented when a
nurse’s lack of sufficient knowledge led to the death of a patient in Karachi recently.
Hence, had he been fully equipped with the required information, a precious life
would have not been lost.
Conversely, and as I opine, nurses should have superb soft skills and the ability to
communicate. Using their words and actions, they should be able to provide patients
with comfort and solace, thereby alleviating their distress to some extent. Their
behaviour should be such that they are easily approachable to the ill. For instance,
distinct interpersonal skills training courses have especially been designed in the US,
which is obligatory for all nurses to attend; therefore, if the emotional needs of
patients are considered, the significance of these skills is irrefutable.
To conclude, it is frequently asserted that just the acquisition of medical knowledge
is sufficient for nurses, whereas this opinion is highly disregarded by some. So, what
are the other qualities that are crucial for nurses to possess? Despite the fact that

17

NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

the value of medical information can not be denied, I believe that exceptional
interpersonal and communication skills are a must for them to have.
24
The best way to solve the environmental problems is to increase the price of fuel.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is believed that vehicle emission is one of the main contributors to air pollutants.
Therefore, some argue that raising fuel prices is the best method to tackle the
environmental issue. I disagree with this point of view because there are better
alternatives that can address the root causes of pollution.
Although it is undeniable that the widespread use of cars is one of the main causes
of the greenhouse effect, simply increasing the gas rate cannot solve the problem
entirely. To be specific, a higher petrol price is unlikely to lower the number of
automobiles on the street dramatically. As most people who can afford a car tend to
have a decent income, a higher expense of driving would be ineffective to motivate
them to give up the efficiency of driving. However, there are various practical
methods that can mitigate environmental harm.
Many types of widely-used sources of energy including fossil fuels and gas can have a
damaging effect on our habitats. Hence, governments should invest more money
and scientists need to dedicate more energy to discovering and popularizing
environmentally-friendly resources. For example, wind and solar power can generate
abundant power while having no negative effect on the environment. Moreover, the
technology of electronic cars is becoming more and more mature and replacing
traditional cars with this green power vehicle can significantly reduce the proportion
of carbon dioxide in the air, which is the main factor of global warming.
In conclusion, although driving up gas prices can reduce exhaust gas to some extent,
discovering and spreading environmental energy resources is a better alternative to

save the planet.

As computers are being used more and more in education, there will be soon no
role for teachers in the classroom. Discuss both the views and give your own
opinion.
The evolution of online learning portals has reduced the need for the physical
presence of teachers in a classroom. In other words, it is replacing a teacher's role in
the classroom. In my opinion, both teachers and computers will be beneficial
because learning in the classroom is not just about learning the lessons in the
textbooks but it also includes aspects like collaborative learning and learning basic
discipline. This essay will highlight both views in the below paragraphs.

18


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

On the one hand, the computers are replacing the teachers in the classroom as the
schools have already started adapting virtual learning techniques, where the notes
and lectures are uploaded on the school websites. Also, there are various online
learning platforms that provide uploaded lectures in the form of apps or websites.
For instance, Byju is a well-known online learning platform, that loads the lessons on
the platform. Hence, such a method does not require the physical presence of a
teacher in the classroom.
On the other hand, though these online videos have exempted teachers from
teaching in the classroom, it has failed to teach the students skills like collaborative
learning and discipline. For example, in a physical ,classroom students learn
disciplines like remaining silent when teaching, wearing the proper uniforms and
working in groups. Whereas, in the online learning method the students fail to meet
their peers and hence miss such learnings. Hence, learning such disciplines grooms

the child for being a good professional. This is indeed missing in computer-based
learning.
To conclude, in my opinion, following both techniques can help in creating
successful professionals of future. The schools can use the computers to upload all
the classroom lectures so that students can refer to the videos again and improve
their understanding. But classroom presence for children and teachers should be
mandatory as children tend to learn discipline and learn to work along with their
peers and eventually get groomed into better future professionals.

Some people think that individuals who make a lot of money are most successful.
Other think that those who contribute to society like teachers and scientists are
most successful. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
The contentious argument that money is a measure of success erupts a heated
debate among many. While some people believe that making wealth is the key to an
accomplished life, others oppose this idea and give more credit to the people who
have given something to society. In this essay, I will illustrate both views in detail
and provide evidence as to why generating wealth is more important.
It is the reality that money is the most desired commodity in this world. You can not
only fulfil your necessities but also enjoy the luxuries this world has to offer, as well
as you can do some philanthropic work which you consider necessary for the
betterment of society. For instance, many powerful personalities of the world not
only enjoy living a lavish life but also make handsome donations for the poor and
deprived peoples.
On the other hand, another school of thought thinks that professionals like teachers
and scientists are the building backbone of any country. An educationalist is a person
who nurtures creativity, intelligence, and ethics in the mind of a child and a scientist
is a person whose inventions plays a vital role in the development of any country,

19

NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

whether it be in the field of medicine or technology. For example, what if Edison
wouldn't invent the light? we would still be living in the dark.
In conclusion, although professionals are the building block of any nation, However,
people who are rich are more successful as they are the ones who build the
universities and labs where all the professionals work.
27
Employers sometimes ask people applying for jobs for personal information, such
as their hobbies and interests, and whether they are married or single. Some
people say that this information may be relevant and useful. Others, however,
disagree.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Some people find it unnecessary that recruiting companies normally request
personal information from applicants whereas others think such data is important. In
this essay, I will discuss how useful such information is and offer my opinion in the
conclusion.
First, things like marital status, hobbies and interests can help the company identify
individuals that match the job and agency's profile. A company may be interested in
a mature person, say for a managerial position or an out-going one for a marketing
post. Where else can they look except in the CVs of job candidates to see what
things they like and their ages? For instance, a cousin of mine was recently selected
ahead of candidates with brilliant transcripts and certificates for a telemarketer task
in a foreign company simply because she held a community outreach leader post at
our local church.
On the other hand, however, these qualities do not reflect the entire picture of the
persona of an individual. The fact that someone is married does not mean they are
mature and being a community outreach leader does not necessarily reflect that you
are outgoing. In fact, some lie in their CVs and interviews alike just to get jobs such

as one communication studies professor who was continuously ridiculed at my
college for failing to express himself in English despite claiming to have been in the
debate clubs of his erstwhile schools.
In conclusion, therefore, whereas personal information may be relevant and useful
for companies, I argue that it may not be necessary given the fact that it does not
show the whole picture and secondly, certain individuals tend to lie about
themselves just to secure employment. These issues were discussed above.

The tendency of human beings to copy one another is shown in popularity of areas
such as fashion and consumer goods.
To what extent do you agree?

20


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

It is undeniable that among individuals of society to imitate each other in terms
fashion of clothes and also purchasing goods. I am in complete agreement with this
idea. In the forthcoming paragraphs, I shall put forth the arguments in favour of my
opinion.
Firstly, as we know everyone wants to look beautiful and handsome and so for this
aim a person get motivated by their favourite singers, actors and many more. Their
model stars wear different types of attires , then their fans and supporters also wear
the same garments. Hence , this phenomenon leads to the popularity of fashions in
clothes. In other words, they desire to purchase some well-known character of
domestic products and vehicles. For example, the person wants to own a famous
variety of cars like BMW, Rolls-Royce and many more rather than other local brands.
Thus it is only because of this practice that some segments of society also eventually
choose this popular quality that creates imitation.

It is also true that the tendency of children to copy from each other is much
higher than adults. Especially, kids are big fans of toys. If they see any new toy in
someone's hand, they want to take the same one. This situation results in imitating
each other among many kids and making the brand popular among the people.
In conclusion, it is proven that humans do a lot of coping when it comes to
general consumer items and clothes. Thus companies and manufacturers have taken
advantage of that for a long time.

Some people believe studying in a college or university is the best way to prepare
for a successful career. Other people prefer to get a job as soon as they leave
school and to develop their career through work experience. Discuss both views
and give your own opinion.
Many students now study in universities before entering a company, some people
believe that they should start working since they are graduated from high schools,
this essay will investigate both views but I am personally inclined to the first opinion.
On the one hand, there are two primary reasons why graduates should get a job. The
main reason is that some jobs prefer practical training. Some jobs require training
rather than academic knowledge, to take chief as an example, they will learn
different skills and be more experienced during training. If they spend their time in
universities, they will think it is a waste of time. Another reason is that they can gain
working experience. For instance, in the service industry, sales can learn how to
persuade customers to purchase a product through real-life experience. They can be
more familiar with the job when they start working at an earlier age and thus
perform better in the job.

21


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

On the other hand, there are two reasons why students should keep studying in a
college. Firstly, many jobs require professional knowledge. In universities, teens can
learn some specific skills which are not taught in other places. For example, teachers
in medic classes will teach them the side effects of each drug and some skills in doing
an operation, the knowledge will be useful in their future work. Moreover, people
can learn to collaborate with others when studying a college. When they have to
complete projects and presentations with other classmates, they can learn how to
communicate and collaborate with others. As a result, when they have to work with
other colleagues in the future, they will be prepared for it.
To conclude, although working earlier may have some benefits, students should still
study in a university in order to develop their careers better.

Some people think that good health is very important to every person, so medical
services should not be run by profit-making companies. Do the advantages of
private health care outweigh the disadvantages?
Nowadays, people are suffering from various types of diseases than in the past.
Hence, some health care organizations see it as a business opportunity and try to
make more profit. However, I believe that making more profit using people's
diseases is unethical. This essay will discuss reasons for having more disadvantages
than advantages when health care organizations consider only their income.
First and foremost, medical centres should receive a payment in order to maintain
their facilities and pay the wages to employees. For instance, they have to pay for
electricity, building rent and doctors salaries. Therefore, owners of these facilities
ask for payment from patients by providing various types of services such as doctor
consultation fees, MRI testing. Besides, medical centres must maintain their
equipment and buy novel machines to provide a better service to their patients. As
an example, high-end X-Ray machines.
Nonetheless, some are trying to make unnecessary profits out of this. To illustrate,
when a patient visits a private hospital to get a consultation, the doctor influences
him to do different types of testing from the hospital to make more income. In

addition to that, some drug manufacturers trying to sell their products with a huge
profit margin. As an example, during COVID 19 pandemic situation, a drug importer
in Sri Lanka earn huge revenue by selling PCR kits with an unethical profit margin.
Hence, the government should regulate those things by introducing a code of ethics
to people who work in the health care industry.
To conclude, health care organizations should earn money to cover their expenses.
Even so, they must not make an unacceptable profit from it since their first priority
must be to provide honest service to the patients. Hence, my opinion is there are
more demerits than merits when a health care organization is run as a profit-making
company.

Many people think modern communication technology has some adverse effects
on social relationships. Do you agree or disagree?
In our ever-changing world, it is opined by a group of people that social relationships
are negatively influenced by artificial transmission technology to some extent. From
my perspective, I totally agree with this statement and my essay will analyze the
rationale for my viewpoint.
To commence, without the shadow of a doubt, artificial contact devices exacerbate
human's communication skills, hence causing misunderstandings in relationships. It
is unequivocal that these days societies oftentimes have a tendency to broadcast
every detail of their private lives to the general public, causing an assumption that
socializing is trivial since understanding completely about others' daily schedules via
modern technology is feasible and faster. As a consequence, physical interactions
among humankind are likely to decrease, leading to poor communication skills. Once

possessing bad communication skills, misunderstanding might arise among
communicators and a breakdown in social relationships might ensue.
Additionally, up-to-date transmission machines undoubtedly have their own pitfalls
in terms of unlimited access to the private information of users, thus becoming
advantageous for internet hackers. As a result of uploading every data of their own
lives, people's privacy, as well as personal identifying information, is vulnerable to be
obtained by identity thieves for illegal purposes. Taking illegal trade in personal data
as an example, cybercriminals customarily spread stolen info widely throughout
online websites or forums after having purloined these figures. Therefore, people
having information looted are likely to become cyberbullying or gossip victims with
an invasion of their privacy.
In conclusion, artificial connection applications undeniably have adverse impacts on
social connections in respect of misunderstanding and privacy invasion. Thereby,
users should take these side effects into consideration when using online contact
techniques.

Many employees may work at home the modern technology. Some people claim
that it can benefit only workers, not the employers. Do you agree or disagree?
In today's world, Due to the Expansion of technology people can use it for their
advantage, in that one the benefit is they can do work from home. Some people
argue that this senior is only give advantages to the employees rather than
employers. I completely disagree with the former statement because organization
saves money by reducing workspace and they get more work from the employee.

23


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

As the reason state above, The first p employers get is they can reduce the price of

construction of building or borrowing land for their workspace. Because nowadays
value of the lands are extremely high, in addition creating new building is also costly.
By expanding virtual work this charge could be reduced, moreover the maintenance,
furniture, or other equipment cost decrease. For example, In India, there is a superb
low rate in the company which provides remote work before pandemic situation, on
the contrary after that, consequently, many companies have understood the
importance and benefits of working remotely so they have started to promote work
from home due to they found they can save money by reducing workplace
maintenance costs by doing this.
The second Reason is workers don't need to do travelling from or to the office so
they don't get stuck in any traffic problem that creates no reason for starting a job
late. As per employees start their job on time they can complete the task on time
without any excuss. This might help them to increase their efficiency related to work,
even they don't waste much time in short-tea break or any pointless discussion with
their colleagues. For instance, The company Tatvsoft which is an IT industry had
surveyed work-time, and project completion period than they have compared it with
the previous year timeline, and finally the result shows that not only worker's time
log grown but also they are completing their project under the deadline, so they get
enough time in test before delivering a product to the client. This helps a business to
raise its profit market.
In conclusion ,It is not deniable that telecommuting has so many profits to
employees as they can manage their work-life and social-life, At the same time it is
also beneficial for employees as they save money as well as get efficient
performance. If companies can create a balance between themselves and workers it
will create profit for both of them.
33
Teachers are not as important as they used to be because of the choice of other
alternatives for students, such as online teaching.
To what extent to do you agree of disagree?
Due to the options available for students to learn, it is now believed that teachers

are less relevant. In my opinion, I disagree that teachers are of no relevance. This
essay will look at the consequences of students replacing teachers with online
learning and also the negative impact this will cause in the community, for instance,
losses of jobs.
Studying online can seem like a great option to have to learn from a teacher but,
that is not the case. The insight a teacher who have full understanding and
knowledge into the subject they teach gives them superiority over studying online.
This is so because they are capable of providing a better understanding to the
students than they would get online. For instance, I studied for an English course

24


NGUYEN’S WRITING COLLECTION

online several weeks before seating for the exam and I failed, then I decided to pay
for the services of an English tutor who taught me better ways to improve my English
weeks after, I wrote the exam and passed. So, teachers are very much needed to
gain a better understanding of the subject than learning online.
Furthermore, the more students use online teaching, it poses a threat to teachers
jobs thereby causing joblessness in the community. Hence, this would result in
jobless teachers relying on the government for support, and also crime rate would
increase in the community as a result. With this in mind, it puts a strain on the
government and forces the government to lose sight of other sectors that requires
government funding. So also, the loss of properties in the community and reduces
the rate of living in the community.
In conclusion, online education should be used to a minimum because if overused
could lead to more harm than good.

The detailed description about crime will affect the people and cause many social

problems. Some people say that the media should be strictly controlled. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?
In this day and age, the broadcast of detailed descriptions about unlawful acts on a
mass scale has never failed to provoke controversial debates among people. It is
argued that a particular description of criminal activities should be strictly controlled
because of their social problem inducing and negative effects on people. While this
thinking is valid to a certain extent, I would contend that mass communication ought
to manage the disseminated message based on the content, not to completely ban it.
Undeniably, describing thoroughly wicked acts can bring an enormous impact on
citizens as well as exert a wide range of alarming social issues. In terms of children
and adolescents who take a keen consideration in antisocial behaviours, crimes that
are illustrated in detail may convey a deceptive message of these illicit activities.
Consequently, teenagers who do not have a profound acknowledgement of current
law are prone to blindly replicate some minor crimes. For example, “Identity
criminal”, which is a program broadcast on ANTV channel, can be cited as a
compelling reason for the specificity of criminal reports. By watching this show,
viewers who have malignant motives can have a better understanding of the method
of committing a crime. Correspondingly, it is fair to say that displaying acts of
violence is the primary drive behind not only the infringement on the law of people
but also the pressing problems of society.
Despite the aforementioned setbacks, detailed reports of offenders should be
controlled carefully in terms of content instead of being banned utterly due to their
merits. Obviously, showing the crime can act as a precursor to raising a high
precaution for viewers so that they can avoid similar serious situations. Moreover,
viewing fully perpetrators' acts also makes them have a deeper acknowledgement of

25
