ESSAY 18

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 specific examples to support your opinion.

Some people like change while some other try as much as possible to stick to the pattern that he/she knows. This essay will discuss how people decide to make or not to make changes.

When someone decides to settle in the same workplace for many years, he might have felt very comfortable in the job, both in terms of financial, career prospects and job satisfaction. As for those who decide to settle in the same place to stay over the years, it is very likely that he feels he has a very close relationship with the neighbors of family, the neighborhood where he had brilliant childhood, and he also wants to raise his future children and grandchildren in the very same area. The decision to stay is taken on the basis that the change will not necessarily produce something better than the conditions that exist today.

When a person decides to move jobs, he could be focusing to explore his abilities to adapt to the new environment and the demands of a new career, where the current trends in the career require that someone should be able to do many things with the quality of work that is just as good. As for those who decide to settle in a new place every few years, he could be looking for experience in new places, where exploring new areas and get acquainted with new people is felt as refreshing, pleasant and not restricting. The decision to move requires the ability to receive ourselves as citizens of the world who are not constrained by the limit of any city, country or language.

In my view, I am not quite graceful in adapting to change. This can be seen from the type of career that I choose, which is teaching, and this allows me to deal with only one subject over the years. The feeling of certainty in the job and in the neighborhood makes me feel easier to settle rather than to explore a new career or a new living environment.

In conclusion, there are many ways to interpret a person's decision to stay at the same place or to go somewhere new. In the end, people will do what they think is beneficial for themselves and their immediate family.

Some people say we do not need printed paper newspapers anymore. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Today, people have more sources of information compared to the situation 20 years ago. With the advance of digital technology, there are many channels of media to choose from including newspapers publishers, which now convert to digital content by means of website or apps that can be accessed widely. This is a form of adaptive transformation, which is beneficial both for the publishers and for the users. Traditional information providers such as radio broadcaster, television channels, and newspaper publishers are trying to adapt with the latest technology advancement. Current information channels are no longer restricted to use traditional media such as printed papers. For the newspaper companies, this is a good news from the perspective of resources and cost efficiency, mainly from eliminating the cost of paper, which is expensive and hard to get. By removing the cost of ...

ESSAY 17

Women and men are commonly seen as having different strengths and weaknesses. Is it right to exclude males or females from certain professions because of their gender? Modern time has seen rapid advancement in people’s lifestyles; a situation which is suspected to happen due to progress in technology and globalisation. This has also affected people’s preferences for their career. Instead of being fixated on the traditional career path, modern people tend to explore many new fields and areas where they can follow their dream even to the point which was unimaginable three decades ago. This essay would further analyse the correlation between gender and occupational preference and its future prediction. Women have been considered as inferior to men in terms of physicality and this view may very well have some truth in it. It seems that even the slightest depiction of alternative prehistoric situation where the females hunted for food and slaughtered wild beast will be a cause for ...

As well as making money, business should have social responsibility. To what extent do you agree or disagree? In a developing country such as Indonesia, there are so many ongoing development activities in most of the provinces. These activities can be done by the government-owned companies or the private companies. These companies create lots of revenue and gain considerable profit from their activities, however, most often than not it is only for their own advantage. It is argued that every business should share a certain percentage of their profit to help local citizens develop their economy. I agree with this statement as it can promote a sense of fairness and help to provide better economy which is crucial to improving the quality of life. First of all, it is important to remember that these prestigious companies often create their plants and factories in the middle of the community. Since the factories need to be operated by experts in their fields, local citizens are ra...
