Holidays honor people or events. If you could create a new holiday, what person or event would it honor and how would you want people to celebrate it? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
-------------------------------------------------------
Every country has holidays. And in India we have many holidays. Three are the national holidays and others are the festival holidays and some are in honor of the late noble personalities. But if I could create a new holiday it would be "Birth Control Day”. Presently this is not a holiday in India. On this day all men and women must volunteer for the birth control surgical operations as per medical advice. After this surgery men and women can enjoy normal sex without producing children. This day all surgeries must be free of cost. This shall greatly help controlling rising population growth. In this essay I will elaborate reasons and benefits of this holiday.
The single biggest human activity is increasing the population. The human needs for water, food, housing and fuel are making unprecedented demands on global and local ecosystems. Over population calls for enormous housing constructions this causes trees felling and jungle cutting thereby causing imbalance of ecology. In addition, more vehicles are needed that cause environment pollution by way of carbon mono oxide and carbon-dioxide. Furthermore Heat generation add to global warming.
Massive industrialization causes tremendous amount of gases in the atmosphere that has caused depletion in ozone layer resulting into shortage of Oxygen. Many other liquids discharged in form of effluents contaminate the earth thereby most fertile land turns into barren. In addition, Global warming represents a profound and emerging threat to biodiversity around the world.
In conclusion a gazette holiday as a “Birth Control Day” shall prove to be a boon for the society.

“Historic Buildings Preserve or Destroy?”
Should a city try to preserve its old, historic buildings or destroy them and replace them with modern buildings? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I am strongly of the view that historical buildings must be protected and preserved. Those are memories of our ancestors, those indicate of the past history of the people and places. Our profound emotions are attached to those and we are sentimentally and emotionally involved with those memories of our ancestors. We preserve the photographs of our great grandparents, grandparents and even parents for that matter and also we tend to preserve of our childhood; and we occasionally witness those and cherish the memories of past and feel happy. Just as we protect those memories, we must protect old historic buildings too.
Secondly, history is the study of the past, focused on human activity and leading up to the present day. More precisely, history is the continuous, systematic narration of past events with extensive research work into it. The old historic buildings and monuments are the most important and valid source for the study and research work on the subject of history for historians; those who study it as a profession.
Old historic buildings attract tourists from various countries and thereby importance of that place increases. It also boosts the revenue to the government through department of tourism this strengthens economy of the nation.
In conclusion, it has been very validly explained in a quotation by David C. McCullough; that “History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are”. We must never destroy old historical buildings and monuments; rather we must preserve them and protect them how best we can.

“Hiring Employees for Lifetime”
Businesses should hire employees for their entire lives. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I don’t agree that businesses should hire the people on life time basis. With the age people depreciate in health thereby person’s working capacity reduces. One many develop health problems like Arthritis Weak Vision; Hypertension; and many more. An old man with all those constraints can not give required output and the business may suffer or even may get paralyzed for that matter. Needless to say business is after all business and not a charity hence if the person is unable to deliver goods he or she must either volunteer to retire else must be forced to retire. Emotions in business never work.
Furthermore very great innovations and improvements are taking place day and on. Newer technologies and techniques with ingenious gadgets with quite unique modus operandi are coming into the market. An old person is not aware of these nor can he or she adjust with it. Besides, it is difficult for old aged persons to keep pace with the time in this rapidly changing scenario. A lack of speed may result into heavy losses or even closure of that company. This does not only cause loss of money to the business owner but also to the general public by large who are the end users of this company’s products and service. Low outputs and low turnover do not only affect the company owner but it has a negative impact on national economy too.
In conclusion business must be management oriented and not emotion oriented. In the interest of the high turnover and proceeds, older employees must retire and new generation with new ideas, techniques, and zeal must work for the company. And none should be employed on lifetime basis.

“High Pay Long Hours Job”
Which would you choose: a high-paying job with long hours that would give you little time with family and friends or a lower-paying job with shorter hours that would give you more time with family and friends? Explain your choice, using specific reasons and details.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would prefer to have less working hours and moderately less salary. Ideal working hours are eight per day. Rarely extension of working hours is tolerable but if that becomes a regular feature it would be impossible to cope. However money is no criteria.
Working time refers to the period of time that an individual spends at work as a paid worker. Many countries regulate the work week by law, such as stipulating minimum daily rest periods, annual holidays and a maximum number of working hours per week. The 8-hour day movement or 40-hour week movement had its origins. In some industries the mass production transforms working life and imposes long hours and poor working conditions. With unregulated working conditions, the health, welfare and morale of working people suffers. The working day that could range from 10 hours up to 16 hours for six days a week is an undesirable situation.
Long hours working affects the health of the worker adversely and one may soon end up miserably. After all, “Health is Wealth”. A trifling amount of overtime wages can not compensate the health loss. Hence every worker must not only look at the tangible gains of a trifling overtime wage, but one must look at the intangible gains. Secondly every worker has a family, friends and a social circle. If a person is unable to give any time for family, friends and the society one does no justice to the near and dear ones. After all man is a social creature so he or she must fulfill all family as well as social obligations too.
In conclusion every one must work, earn money, enjoy with family, friends, relatives and the society but one should not become a workaholic.

“Has Television Destroyed Communication?”
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific examples to support your opinion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t agree that television has destroyed communication between friends and family members. Nevertheless it has adversely affected the communication to some extent.
Earlier, children loved to visit other houses with their parents. But nowadays, if we ask them to join us, they will say, please, we will sit at home and watch TV. They prefer sitting at home and watching TV over visiting relatives. It is also not a good practice to place TV in the dining room. In the busy modern times, there is lack of communication between the family members. Watching television during Dinner and lunch must be avoided.
The present trend in the theme of serials is not satisfactory. In all the stories, importance is given to the negative aspects of human personality. They depict the unhealthy relationships between the man and the wife, the shortcuts to divorces. Violence is given preference. By watching such programs all through the time, the behaviors of even the adults seem to have changed. They have turned narrow-minded and they tend to find fault with others, enjoy gossips and resort to negative thinking.
Earlier grandparents loved to look after the younger. But now the modern grandma and pa don’t find time to spend with grandchildren because of these never-ending soaps. This is a cyclic process. Children learn through imitation. If the elderly persons are behaving like this, children can’t be blamed.
In conclusion, we can’t say that TV has destroyed communication. We must account for the benefits of TV. By viewing the news; Sports and Business programs, we get entertainment and information about all the happenings around the world. The programs on education, quiz, health and development are beneficial to students also.

“Handmade Products Verses Machine-made”
Some items (such as clothes or furniture) can be made by hand or by machine. Which do you prefer — items made by hand or items made by machine? Use reasons and specific examples to explain your choice.
-------------------------------------------------------------
I prefer hand-made items in furniture and clothing (fabrics). Use of manmade items gives boost to handicrafts and cottage industries. I am from India and in this essay I shall describe all about man-made furniture that are extremely popular all over the world and extensively used in other advanced countries.
In India, there are many areas where wooden handicraft work has been done traditionally since last many centuries. But the handicrafts of Sankheda in Gujarat – India, have a unique identity among all. The name and fame has spread not only in India but all over the world. This furniture is very popular and exported to countries like UK, USA and Canada. Today there are very few skilled artisans and artists left who produce great, artistic furniture with historical values. Indians feel proud to continue centuries old traditions. The Sankheda carpenters have kept up with the age of automation as far as some of their tools are concerned but not at the cost of compromising on the inherent quality of the art. Several families in the village are involved in satisfying the growing demand for the furniture, which has made the village famous. Some export directly to the clients while others supply through export houses.
Furthermore, manmade fabrics clothe the common man. Manmade textiles have emerged as a major source of clothing as well as a fierce global competition of exports of Man-Made Fibers and Textiles. Yarn and fiber exports are much stronger than fabric and made-up shipments.
In nutshell, if we use man made furniture items and fabrics we shall help clothe the commoners and boost the Indian home cottage industry of furniture and fabrics.
