Early childhood is the bedrock of development of a child’s behaviors and mentality through which they can discern right from wrong later in their lives. There are several parenting approaches through which a child can learn how to distinguish between right and wrong; however, from my perspective, corporal punishment is definitely not a pragmatic approach. Some parents might assume if they use punitive measures as their nurturing strategy, their child would not only not be spoiled, but can also be positively disciplined. On the contrary, there is plenty of evidence suggesting that more effective ways do exist for this very objective. Besides, nowadays physical punishments are not being tolerated in many countries. Not only does inflicting punishments on a child, particularly those of physical nature such as slapping or spanking, annihilate their ambitions and self-esteem, but it also can pave the way for several future mistreatments and unhealthy repercussions, including violent or anti-social behaviors and growing into a bully. Psychological studies suggest that practicing strategies such as ‘role modelling’, ‘positive discipline’, and ‘positive reinforcement’ are effective measures to guide a child through adopting a target behavior. Children tend to incorporate their parents’ actions into theirs, hence the importance of role modelling. It is parents, in the first place, whom children interact with and learn from. Parents should, therefore, practically show their offspring how to act in either favorable or challenging situations. Positive discipline is a method emphasizing setting limits and being consistent in them. Thus, parents are allowed to define what kind of behaviors are tolerated and what are not. By the same token, positive reinforcement employs a ‘positive reinforcer’, that is to say a reward, with the aim of encouraging a decent behavior. The reinforcer could be either tangible, for instance allowance or toys, or non-tangible, like applause or positive constructive feedbacks. In conclusion, I would like to take the view that among the diverse strategies that parents are able to adopt, imposing punishment is the least effective way, if effective at all. However, in the case that it is inevitably chosen, the punishment should be a fitting one.

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Leadership comes naturally. One cannot learn how to develop it. Nowadays, leadership is one of the significant roles in each society so that most of the crucial decisions are made by leaders. In this regard, there is not a consensus as to whether leadership is an instinct personality characteristic or not. Some believe that people are born with this ability, while others, including me, are oppsed toopponent of this idea and assert this is a learned skill. In the following paragraphs, I will outline my reasons. Firstly, if leadership comes naturally, there should be some similarities between different thrive thriving leaders; however, there are people with innumerable characteristics that can lead others efficiently. In other words, we have a sizable number of successful leaders that lead people in a variety of ways. This shows that they have learned how to lead others and since they were under different educational systems, their leadership’s methods are different with each other’s. For example, when I worked in a company five years ago, the director of the company changed/replaced two times/twice. Although our first leader had a strong rapport with workers and endeavor to establish a reliable relationship with the staff, the other one was more charismatic and tried to impress others through his characteristic and power. They guided and managed the group dissimilarly, and both had several achievements in their leadership period. Various leaderships of these people exemplify that they learned this ability in different ways. Second, leadership is a combination of some achievable abilities, some of which are analytical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills. To clarify, analytical thinking is an ability that children can attain it if they face some obstacle/obstacles in their life and have an opportunity to evaluate various angles and then take an appropriate action. Social abilities are also another feature that can be improved if children have a chance to participate with others and have an active role in relationships. As an example, when I was reading the biography of a well-known leader several years ago, she explained her childhood experiences. She stated in her book that she lived in a large family that where every child had a responsibility to take care of the other younger children. In this condition, she was able to improve her leadership abilities. In sum, I believe leadership is not an inborn ability, rather an obtainable skill that children can gain it if they grow up in a proper situation. Meanwhile, different styles of thrive prosperous /leading leaders endorse the fact that they obtained this ability in a different way.

Globalization has caused different cultures to become similar. Do you think it is a positive or negative trend? The frontiers/borders between cultures are becoming indistinguishable gradually and globalization is the main factor. In this essay first I will explain why this trend has its own benefits and then I point to some of the drawbacks and finally I will share my own view. To beign with, globalization is now occurring around the world due to its advanteges for individuals. Globalization features such as using the internet and golbal global network for the majority of countries means economic growth. For instance, nowadays there are a number of multinational companies who appreciate being able to hire experts around the world with the resaonable salary rates. Moreover, globalization also have has its own benefits in the education area by providing information availability and assist in order to interconnect the global village. Given that, these days interaction between different cultures can be seen in almost every spots of the planet. This trend has a bright aspect, when we consider the fact that, our descendants with different cultures are now having the same beliefs and values which can lead to a promising future with a lower risk of conflicts between nations. On the other hand, when it comes to globalization and culture cultural diversity, the darks sides of globalization are the main areas of contention. There is a strange undercurrent when we look at the whole trend with a distance. To make it clear, there are individuals around the world with different cultures who prefer to adapt themselves with to the western ideal of individualism, they are hoping to use its privileges. In consequence, while a massive number of cultures are fading away, the number of people who tend to change their lifestyle is deramatically increasing. The aforementioned phenomenon is caused by consumer culture and exploitation of workers and markets which have a negative influence on social values. I firmly believe globalization would help us to thrive save humanity over the next centuries. Meanwhile, all cultures are responsible to preserve their ancestors’ hesritages. In conclusion, we have responsibility to preserve our culture. From my point of view, although globalization has a negative impact on culturale diversity, its advantages outweight the disadvantages.

Some people say that in all levels of education, from primary schools to universities, too much time is spent on learning facts and not enough on learning practical skills. Do you agree or disagree? It is certainly true that more and more emphasis is placed on the acquisition of practical skills compared to the last few decades and this issue has been at the center of debates for several years. Perhaps we should find the reason for this issue in the future career and performance of the school and university-educated people. The importance of the theoretical subjects is undeniable for almost everyone and the initial step of each learning process is to learn theoretical aspects of the subjects. It is notable that the aim of schools and universities is not only to prepare students for factual and theoretical knowledge but also is to provide practical skills. Advocates of this attitude argue that the main objective of every educational facility from primary school to university is to empower students’s capability in all dimensions and preparing prepare them to become prosperous adults and make a productive contribution to society in their future life. Therefore, it seems that the school curricula in most educational institutions should be reconsidered and more practical lessons should be added to itthem. However, there are some who believe that the major aim of every educational system, especially primary and secondary schools is to promoting promote factual knowledge and theoretical subjects rather than practical issues. According to this approach, more practical lessons should be presented in high schools and universities where the students are becoming ready to entering enter social activities. According to my personal experiences of study at both school and university the crucial role of practical skills is totally underestimated and educational systems need to take comprehensive action toward changing this obsolete approach. In conclusion, various measures have been taken to improve practical learning facilities in educational systems, . nevertheless, an indefinite several measures has have yet to be taken. For instance, schools and universities should be equipped with more professional laboratories and more computer classes. It seems that a well-planned curriculum balances the theoretical and practical aspects of the course and its content should be designed to help students achieve their future goals.

Some people think that parents should teach children how to be good members of the society. Others, however, believe that the school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give own opinion. Childhood is a golden opportunity to sow the seeds of moral values since children’s moral sense/compass, by and large, develops during this time. Yet, people are having a hard time reaching a consensus as to whether the responsibility of promoting these highly important values lies with parents or teachers. I would argue that both parents and teachers play a major role in nurturing children and teaching them how to be a decent member of society. Parents are the first and foremost objects of emulation for their charges. That many children unintentionally try to imitate their parents’ behaviors is an undeniable fact which stems from the first stages of grow in which children acquire skills by observing and trying to act like other people who are in their immediate surrounding. For example, communicating with others respectfully and kindly regardless of their social strata, a well-mannered parent can encourage a sense of compassion and courtesy in his offspring. Not every child has the privilege of upbringing by attentive and enlightened parents who try to foster standards of behavior, hence the importance of shouldering this burden being shouldered by the education system in order to lessen the number of unruly adults in the foreseeable future. That is to say, despite unlike parents who impart their wisdom instinctively, teachers learn how to instill moral values in young adults. After a certain age, children spend many hours in school obliged to adhere to the school laws which provide a great opportunity for the education system to play their part in teaching them ethical conduct and how to distinguish between wrong and right. In conclusion, although parents leave a long-term effect on children’s behavior unintentionally and teach them their first lessons in their life, we should not underestimate the importance of teachers’ role in young adults’ behavior.

Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programs (for example working for a charity, improving the neighborhood or teaching sports to younger children). To what extent do you agree or disagree? Voluntary organizations have been expanded rapidly these days since a large number of people tend to work there as a volunteer. The argument over whether this obligatory these kinds of associations approach as a part of the school curriculum is better for high school students or not. I believe that mandatory free working may have a poor effect on children's young adults’ lives. Admittedly, there are several positive points in favour of free working . Firstly, community service provides an amazing situation in order to develop a child's skills, whether in the social and individual field of social or individual. When students face different situations, they gradually learn how to deal with difficult and unfamiliar conditions; therefore, they can steadily acquire individual skills by passing time. In addition, what various types of community services create is that children could broaden their horizons about their society and how to anticipate the potential events that may occur in the future. This insight contributes to boosting the society to a better place for all of its citizens. On the other hand, passing a regulation to provide a mandatory syllabus in the field of community service might lead to unpredictable results which means that many students may prefer to spend time on other activities such as sports but due to lack of time must ignore their interests; as a result, they would lose their opportunity to be a successful person and which has a bad effect on their psyche. For instance, a lot of genuine talented/gifted students who play soccer in their leisure time have been discovered by football players. They would not have been introduced to the world if they had not hadhave not time to pursue their interests. In other words, it is incumbent upon schools to pave the way for the talented children to thrive. In conclusion, the benefits of voluntary working in the long-term can outweigh the drawbacks, as long as these activities are optional and each one has its his/her own freedom to choose. Perhaps the best attitude we can take is to persuade students to participate in these extra activities.

Somayeh Some people believe that family is more important than friends. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Some people claim that family members are more valuable than groups of peers. In from my own perspective, both family and friends play a significant role in human beings’ lives for some reasons, and one cannot be chosen over the other one. To start with family, the major point is that family this institution is the very first community we live in. Through the critical years of our childhood we are being supported by parents and often by one or more older siblings. These years form our characters, resulting in the creation of enduring links between the members of a household. Moreover, in family we feel like members are our own flesh and blood. This is because we are genetically related that expands the sense of closeness for the lifetime. However, soon children leave their home to study at college or seek for a job, sometimes in another country or city. At this stage, the role of peers will get more and more crucial. To begin with the merits of friends, we could start with being from the same generation. The more people are from the same age, the better understanding they usually have from each other. Friends listen to us and normally have a better sense of empathy. Another culprit why friends are important is that there is a feeling of intimacy between friends. In consequence, secrets are being shared between one another more easily than in between family members. That is why sometimes we need to spend time with our friends rather than family members. Reviewing the arguments above, one can conclude that there are benefits in both family and friends which make them important to us. Being brought up by family and sharing the same genes will make household members inseparable, physically and mentally. Having the same age and confidentiality make friends meaningful to us. Consequently, both groups should be appreciated by humankind.

Today ,the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising and not the real needs of the society in which they are sold . Nowadays ,there are lots of advertisements on the television or on the billboards .Some people think advertising enhances the sales of goods and it encourages people to purchase things unnecessarily .This argument may be true .People ,particularly youngesters buy the goods which popular singers advertise ,although they are not really in need of these productsthem . Also, on the television screen ,products may sound seem exquisite and high quality .As a result of it , please tend to buy the goodsthem without adequate consideration and knowledge .Actually customers may not need some products, but they buy them compulsively after watching the advertisingadvertisment.Meanwhile ,as some consumers buy the goods due to its their advertising agencies ,people may be affected by the trend , although they don’t do not have the actual need . On the other hand ,there are some several aspects against these agreements . Some people believe advertising may be not a cause of buying products by customers .As individuals have their own spending habits with determined deposable income ,they are allowed to make a decision which product is suitable to buy .Indeed,nobody can judge the sales demand is because of the real need of society or not .moreover , people allocate their budget in order to keep the balance in buying goods . In conclusion, I personally think people have their own attitudes and perspective about buying goods .Thus ,it is better to leave them to make a decision which product is worth to buying .it is not fair to claim everyone is tempted by advertising to buy the goods impulsively .In some essential areas like toy industries ,we need to broaden the advertisements as children don’t do not have enough ability to distinguish which product can be useful to buy .
