“Spend Entire Life in One Place or Move To Many”

Some people spend their entire lives in one place. Others move a number of times throughout their lives, looking for a better job, house, community, or even climate. Which do you prefer: staying in one place or moving in search of another place? Use reasons and specific examples to support your opinion.
-------------------------


I prefer to keep on moving instead of confining myself to one place. The reasons are that when a person keeps on moving he or she learns about the new places, people and things. By knowing more one acquires a bulk of information and broadens his outlook. Not out of place to mention here that “Information is Power”. It is all attributable to the extensive movement of a person that he or she becomes a dynamic personality.

Confinement at one place makes the life of an individual very monotonous and boring. One cannot learn anything more than what one knows. The knowledge remains limited and so is experience too. He or she has no exposure to the outer world and that is bad. Also one cannot learn or acquire multifarious knowledge and experience.
Alexis Carrel in his notable quote says “Life Leaps like a Geyser for Those Who Drill through the Rock of Inertia.”

However some may have limitation to keep moving. Firstly these are the people who have some or the other physical handicap. For such people sedentary jobs at one location would be ideal. Secondly this limitation is faced when people become old and retired. In this phase one may or may not keep very healthy to move around. This is the time when they need rest and it is better for those people to stay at one place.

In nut shell I feel it is better for younger generation to keep on move instead of confining at one place. By this they acquire a lot of information and knowledge and experience that is not only precious and important for individuals but for the nation too.

“Some Prefer To Live Where Climate Don’t Change”

Some people prefer to live in places that have the same weather or climate all year long. Others like to live in areas where the weather changes several times a year. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.
---------------------------------


I prefer to live in places that have steady climatic conditions. However the selection making by the people, largely depends upon an individual’s circumstances and health conditions. For the persons above 60 or 65, any brisk changes in climates may cause discomfort and health problem. In this essay I will elaborate impact of varying climates on human health.

Weather has a profound effect on human health and well-being regardless of age. However older people are more prone to health problems on account of climatic variations. Weather is associated with changes in birth rates, with outbreaks of pneumonia, influenza and bronchitis, and is related to other morbidity effects linked to pollen concentrations and high pollution levels. Furthermore, hot weather extremes have greater substantial impact on mortality than cold waves. Normal health can be maintained by frequent exercises, consumption of fluids, and living in shaded residences. Acclimatization may moderate the impact of successive heat waves over the short term. Similarly, humidity has an important impact on mortality since it contributes to the body's ability to cool itself by evaporation of perspiration. It also has an important influence on morbidity in the winter because cold, dry air leads to excessive dehydration of nasal passages and the upper respiratory tract and increased chance of microbial and viral infection.

In conclusion, with the time, a person get use to climates and the system become immune. However frequent exposures to extremely varying climates pose health problems especially to elderly people. In order to stay healthy one must opt to stay in a relatively steady type of climatic conditions. Staying healthy improves efficiency and effectiveness and in turn, the productivity and profitability.
