Studdying abroad

Students always have difficulties in making choices in regards to places they want to study. Many students believe that studying abroad is far better than studying at home, where as some think otherwise.

Studying abroad has many benefits in many different aspects. For one thing regardless of the academic content and certificates, people developed an additional generic skill which helps them in their practical life. It makes them more dependent and responsible. Another reason for studying abroad is that it gives them so much more curses choices whereas back home there are limited mangers with limited positions. In addition, studying abroad is much more butter because you get to live in different cultures and learn new things that you never seen before. You get to have the opportunity to meet new people and live a different experience.

Although studying abroad can be very beneficial, it can have a negative impact in some people. It is argued that studying abroad lack of social support. Student stay away from their families can be very depressed and affected emotionally. This can impact very badly in their academic progress. Another reason is that studying abroad coasts a lot of money that some families cannot provide. Some people argue that some students have difficulty adjusting to deferent cultures and different social environments.

In conclusion, studying abroad is beneficial in some ways and detrimental in others, however I believe that it’s all about well, that is when someone is wanting to study, they can adjust anything and face every obstacle that come in their way.

Technology

Does Technology make our life easer? Or it just makes it worse. Nowadays technology served us in the best ways when it comes to communication. It has made it very easy that with a click with your finger tips you can be talking to someone on the other side of the planet. However this limited face to face contact with people. These have a great effect on our society.

Some people believe that technology have made it easier for us to communicate, for example people how are away from their families can benefit very much from such technology by means of communication. Another one is that companies businesses and government departments can benefit from this by reducing the time spend in processing papers by communicating with other departments.

Although technology has served us well in providing easier communication methods it has a very negative impact in our society. For one thing, people who communicate using computers get drifted away from the real word by sitting behind those screens. Sometimes they retain a mailed hostile attitude towards others in the society while some others become isolated from others. Another reason is that those people would not make contributions to develop their society. One last reason, is that those people can suffer from diseases such as sight problems and obesity problems due to sitting for long times behind the screens.

All in all, technology is a substance that we control to suites us best, it does not control us. Once people start understanding this, we will not have problems related to technology development.

People who traffic drugs should be executed

When you hearing drug trafficking, most people do not realize its implications. Drug trafficking have become a progressively growing crisis in the world. People are rapidly buying, selling, and using drugs forgetting all the risks and dangers these illegal substances are bringing to human’s life. This essay will discuss whether drug traffickers should be executed or return back to society after serving time.

People who traffic drugs to people to use and buy them to fulfill their rational desires should be executed for many reasons. Firstly, those people contribute to killing innocent souls and destroying generations. They are considered as criminals, who’s too dangerous to walk again and live in our society. Secondly, considering the great dangers and risks those people bring to this world, public expects the government to set severe penalty for drug traffickers; instead of placing them in prison for certain time. I believe that prison is not a strong punishment as some of them may get back to their drug job after getting out from the prison and continue their damaging process.

On the other hand, some people believe that drug traffickers should not be executed because of the following reasons. They believe that placing the criminals in prison for a long time is considered harsh enough to learn a lesson and stop crimes. However, some drug traffickers will get back to drag trafficking after released from prison. Therefore, prison punishment is not enough and they have to be executed. Some people believe that death penalty does not stop the crime. Nevertheless, execution punishment will spread a message that people’s life is voluble and anyone who is trying to harm them deserves death.

All in all, People who take into account the work of drug trafficking should be able to understand reasons why capital punishment is the best choice.

Retirement age

The average retirement age almost every were around the world is around 55 to 65 but whose to judge. People have different aging times; some can stay fit and dose their work during their 70s, while others cannot during their 50s. However in real life some people are forced to retire regardless of their fitness or ability to do the work. They are forced to retire only to follow some laws and regulations. This essay will discuss whether people should be able continue working providing they are fit for work or it should be a compulsory retirement in a certain age.

There are many reasons why elders should be allowed to for as long as they are fit for work. One reason is that those people have worked for long that their experiences and professional views cannot be acquired easily. Once these people retire, so their years of work will. Another one is loyalty. For example if a company force some rules or regulations upon employees. The older employees will respect its policy, whereas younger ones will hesitate a may react to it. Last but not least, is that it is not the most honorable ways to respect these people years of work by letting them go while in fact they can so a batter jobs then others
There are those who believe that there have to be a retirement age. One reason is that Younger talents should have their chance be creative in the field of work instead of using the traditional ways. Another is that many younger graduates are staying home dong nothing because they don’t have job opportunities and they can’t do anything about it as long as there is no retirement age

Al in all, there is reasons for forcing retirement age but reasons not to force it overrated, Providing that work is done in the best ways possible.

The Emirati Identity

UAE has developed rapidly in less than 60 years with huge change from a desert to a very modern country. Although this development has benefited many people in this country and abrod, there was some negative consequences that affected our society. Loss of Emirati identitiy was one of them.

One problem is that the rapid development created as imbalance in the UAE population. This created a multicultural environment with a minority of locals. The possibility that these minority keep preserving their national identity became lower. Another issue is that there is a strong religious believes that affect our life style and culture. This believes prevent us from committing a sin which in other relegious bleieves are considerd as a normal activitey that every one can do. Furthermore, young Emirati's whose the future of this country, are getting affected by other cultures, other religious believes and westren lifestyle. For example, young people nowadays do not know about their own history and heritage. Some do not even know how we dress and how to behave in front of others. Some others travel and represent this country in the wrong way not knowing that every citizen of this country is an ambassador of its culture and heritage.

The solutions to this problem are hard, but not impossible. One solution is that the government should organize traditional sport activities which help preserve the national identity. They should also organize conferences to discuss this issue. In addition, the government should raise the awarness of national identity.They should also educate parents on how to pass this heritage to their children's.

In conclusion, although the development is an important part of modern countries, preserving Emirati identity is much more important since development was made for them in the first place.
