Security cameras should be there or not.

Image
In the fight against crime, police forces and governments are increasingly using security cameras in public places. Some people are opposed to this, saying that it invades our privacy. What do you think?   Security cameras have become ubiquitous in many nations now-a-days. Whereas before they appeared only in banks and at high-security areas, they are now entering into public places such as malls, streets, stadiums and transport. Many people feel this snatches their privacy, but personally I believe though there are some negative impacts they are very essential. This essay will examine whether the advantages of these cameras outweigh their negative impact. To start with, the closed circuit television cameras not only keep watch in the buildings but provide strong evidences in case of robbery or loot. The police can catch criminals in the act, and can trim down crime. This will make the streets safer for ordinary people. For example, recently in my town one good l...

The best way to save environment is only hiking fuel price. A/D ?

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? Millions of threats have entrapped our earth in these days. And pollution is one of the leading threats to our planet. Thousands of endeavored have been made to sort out the problem of pollution till today. Yet we have not got hundred percent success. A large group of people believe that hiking fuel price can be the best solution to protect the environment. But I don’t agree with them, my essay will give some reasons for my belief and then state this only step is not sufficient. One reason why this approach may not work is that there is not just one environmental problem the world faces today. If governments did make fuel more expensive, it might well help reduce the amount of carbon dioxide we produce and so slow down the rate of global warming and air pollution. However, it would not help with other major problems such as land pollution, ov...

Writing.-2 - Can parents be a good teacher?

Image
Children should never be educated at home by their parents. Do you agree or disagree? Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this. Childhood and education both are one of the most important parts of our lives. And if we talk about the right place and person for imparting education, I believe that depends on individual. There are many children who can learn better at home whereas on the other hand there are many others who can develop well in schools. But in my opinion I would say it is really better for children to send them at academic institutions. I have some strong reasons to believe this. Let us discuss in detail. First of all t he children need space to run and make noise, to jump and cry. And I believe no one can allow his children to do this all at home. While Kindergartens give such a possibility and a chance to bring their inner child out. They are specifically designed for children only so they giv...
