ESSAY 19

Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology. In what ways has technology affected the types of relationships people make? Has this become a positive or negative development?

Technology advancement helps people shape their progress beyond many aspects. I think technology has delivered a very positive overall impact on easing human to introduce and to maintain new relationships and old relationships.

In the past, we did not have the chance to send a letter to someone and hoping to get a reply in the same day. The telephone was used for a direct communication in the old days while the letter was meant for a formal and personal communication as it takes lots of time to deliver a snail mail. As we more commonly use the e-mail to manage our business, personal lives, these things have now become more manageable than ever, and we become more organized as a society.

In the past, we did not have a method to send a picture to someone else in a short time. Well, actually we had the technology called facsimile, however, it was complicated to use and not every household had one. Nowadays, using mobile phone we can send any picture that we want to our communication partner, they will receive it in an instant, and this makes us more flexible in many aspects.

It was very difficult to get an entertainment that could be enjoyed together as a social experience three decades ago. Today, however, online games are able to connect many people all at once. These changes bring many people from all over the world together as global citizens and we are less restricted by geographical boundaries.

In conclusion, technology has made us, based on the examples I have given above, more organized, more flexible and more integrated compared to past situation. I honestly believe this is an advantage and we should improve our ways to manage the use of technology.

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...
