ESSAY 29

Films and computer games containing violence are popular. Some people say they have negative effect on society and should be banned. Other says they are just harmless relaxation. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

Popular media might contain violence act as shown in many films and computer games. This issue becomes a hot debate as people seem to have different opinions about it; one looks at it as fun stuff while the other argues that it promotes violence. It is apparent that both sides clearly have merits to their argument and they are reasonable.

People are generally interested in things they know little about. Looking at the glimpse of violence offered in the display satisfies their curiosity and gives them knowledge on the violence itself. It can be understood that people need a certain maturity to act this way and not everyone can be considered as mature. Violence exists and the display of violence should only be regarded as a representation of things that exist and not as a support to the act itself.

On the other hand, some people believe that the display of violence has a connection to the rising numbers of dangerous actions in the society. They argue that people might imitate things that they see if such things are presented regularly. However, such opinion simply ignores other factors, such as poverty and the failing role of society as a community. Shifting the blame to the display of violence on TV and PC games will be a failure in understanding the root of the problem.

In conclusion, I believe that people need to be more mature and understand that displaying violence is not the same as advertising it. Banning games and movies, therefore, will simply be a wrong move based on a faulty reasoning.

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...
