“Human Need for Land Versus Land For Endangered Animals”

Some people think that human needs for farmland, housing, and industry are more important than saving land for endangered animals. Do you agree or disagree with this point of view? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I agree that human needs of farming, housing and industry are a priority and certainly more important. This is because of the reason that human population is exorbitantly increasing day by day and simultaneously the needs are also increasing. We need more food, more vehicles, more houses, more space for business, more industries and many more. Hence people need more area of land to fulfill these requirements. We need more and more land for farming and agriculture. Land is required for more of airports, roads, hotels, hospitals and what not. However it does not mean that land for endangered animals is unimportant but when it comes to relative importance, the latter gets second priority.

Nevertheless it is a high time that citizens must give a deep thought to the problem of over population and realize the dangers short comings of it. As urged by governments from time to time, people must ensure not to have more than two children in a family.
People must adopt measures of family planning as suggested by Governments. This will greatly help prevent over growth of population and help increase share of resource to every individual. It is not out of place to quote a great advice by a learned man that: - “Reduce Your Needs and You Shall Be Rich.”

In conclusion, although human needs for farmland, housing, and industry are more important saving land for endangered animals is also important. This can be achieved through sincere and dedicated efforts of all countrymen towards exercising control over the increase in population.

“How People Differentiate Children – Adults”

People recognize a difference between children and adults. What events (experiences or ceremonies) make a person an adult? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer
------------------------------------------------

Adulthood can be defined as a stage of biological; physiological and psychological change in a child that makes an impact on his or her character and social status. Those aspects are sometimes inconsistent and contradictory. A person may be biologically an adult, and have adult behavioral characteristics yet may be treated as a child if one is under the legal age of majority. Conversely one may legally be an adult but possess none of the maturity and responsibility that define adult character.

Attainment of adolescence age is the event among many. Some sects perform rites and ceremonies on this occasion. However most modern societies determine legal adulthood based on reaching a legally-specified age without requiring a demonstration of physical maturity or preparation for adulthood. Some more events that are indicative of adulthood in the legal perspective are the eligibility to driving license, voter card and getting into a government job and getting married.

Adulthood is generally believed as the time when physical maturity is complete. One reaches their maximum height and secondary sex characteristics form such as body hair and facial hair, voice lowers in pitch especially noticeable in men, and menses begin in women. Sleep patterns change in adulthood, as adults typically require less sleep than adolescents.

Furthermore a common theory is that adulthood is the real test of life is to experience the world as a first person instead of through the parents. Then the adult can pass those experiences down to younger people and they can experience them when they grow up.

Summing-up, important traits of an adult are: - self-control, emotional control, stability, dynamic personality, ability to govern self and deal with life, sense of responsibility, accountability, commitment, reliability, vision, patience, endurance, experience, understanding, courage to face difficulties and objectivity with perspective and reality.

“How Avoid High Road Toll”

The high road toll is robbing our society of many people who could otherwise be leading useful and productive lives. How can society protect itself from these losses?
-----------------------------------------------

The first and the foremost reason behind high road toll is the overpopulation of the world. The demand of vehicles has enormously increased and resulted into proliferation of automobiles. The numbers of various automobiles have risen dramatically and those automobiles ply on roads round the clock. Aftermath of this drastic rise in automobiles and its movement is the wear and tear to the roads thereby causing numerous fatal accidents.

Said phenomenon calls for and necessitates more frequent upkeep of roads and highways. In the interest of safe transport of human and material, Governments must spend time and money on regular condition monitoring of the roads and highways and its upkeep. At the same time availability of a good public transport shall considerably reduce the movement of private owned vehicles, road accidents and the fatalities. This would also greatly help in maintaining smooth roads and highways that are primarily needed for safe driving. An added advantage shall be reduction in pollution of environment and global warming that shall be a boon to the population by large.

In conclusion, the society may conduct awareness programs on road safety and safe driving practices. Society may educate members to use public transport as much as possible as it is cost-effective and safe. Use of public transport helps in reduction of number of vehicles plying thereby reduction in fatal accidents. Furthermore use of mass transport shall help reducing traffic jams in the peak hours and shall greatly help business class, office goers, and student community. This shall at the same time, greatly help in the Energy and Oil Conservation missions of the respective Governments. Last but not least, reduction in vehicle movement shall greatly reduce road mishaps and fatalities so that people can lead useful and productive lives.

"Homework"

Many teachers assign homework to students every day. Do you think that daily homework is necessary for students? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
------------------------------------------------------

I strongly feel daily homework is good for student’s future career. Homework helps students to understand better and memorize the content that is a paramount importance while writing examination. However, some people find it monotonous and hence tend to believe that homework does not bring any benefits.

My experience says that, doing anything on regular basis induces a strong discipline in the doer and homework is no exception to it. Further discipline is a fundamental requirement for any one’s self development that is most important for students community by large. This habit of doing homework regularly shall make a student good time manager that is of very high importance for all in this fast era of systems. I would like to mention here some golden words said by Sir Lord Chesterfield about this matter. “Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no delay, no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today”. Says Lord Chesterfield...

If a student does not understand the assignment, one must follow the following steps: -

# Ask the teacher to explain what one does not understand about the assignment.
# Go to school librarian or reference librarian at the local library for assistance.
# Use a local junior college or university library if one is nearby.
# TALK with parents, guardians, or friends for guidance. Often just discussing a matter would make it easier.

In nutshell, multitude of homework shall help in all subjects. Homework assures success in the final examinations with excellent grades and one makes high achievement by way of obtaining graduation; post graduation and professional qualifications.
