Since its discovery, nuclear energy has been a controversial technology.
What are some dangers connected with nuclear energy?
In your opinion, is nuclear energy a good or bad technology?

Nuclear energy has always been a much debated technology. This essay will discuss the dangers posed by its use and decide whether it is beneficial or harmful for humanity.

There are several issues associated with nuclear energy. These problems are evidenced in its history of disasters and destruction. Once the power of the atom had been discovered, it was almost immediately weaponised and used to destroy two cities filled with civilians. Even when nuclear technology was used for peaceful means, tragedy has still been connected with its use. The Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters along with many other smaller ones show that this technology is never truly safe even in supposedly technologically advanced countries.

However, nuclear technology is the best choice in many situations. The only current realistic affordable alternative to nuclear energy is the burning of fossil fuels. Studies show that fossil fuel emissions have claimed many more lives than nuclear disasters because air pollution slowly poisons people’s throats, lungs and respiratory systems. In addition, even though some may argue that solar, wind, wave or hydroelectricity are better alternatives, some cold landlocked nations such as Switzerland do not have consistent access to sunlight, wind or flowing rivers year-round. For these countries it would appear that nuclear energy, despite its dangers, is the best option.

In conclusion, although nuclear technology is undoubtedly dangerous due to radioactivity and its proven history, I believe in some contexts it is actually the best alternative to other more harmful or unreliable energy sources.

Some people argue that space exploration has had more to do with national pride than international effort.
To what extent do you agree with this?
How do you think space exploration will change in the future?

It has been argued that the history of space exploration has been motivated more by nationalism than a desire to further humanity’s accomplishments. This essay will discuss this point of view and explore the new ways humanity will approach space exploration.

Although nationalism has been a factor in space exploration in the past, there are two clear reasons why humanity’s explorations of space should be considered as generally an international endeavor. Firstly, modern collaboration between countries with the international space station shows that outside the earth’s atmosphere, nations can come together to further humanity’s understanding and exploration of the universe. If space exploration were still grounded in nationalism, the very existence of the space station would be impossible. Secondly, the advent of private enterprise attempting to make humans a multiplanetary species shows that nationalism is becoming irrelevant. When companies like SpaceX finally reach Mars, it is more likely that the banner of a private company will be planted than the flag of a country.

The future holds many exciting possibilities in the exploration of our universe. It seems that the new ambition driving space technology innovation is the desire to go to Mars and live permanently beyond earth. Thus, the future of space exploration is likely to be based around planet colonization and living in harsh environments. In the more distant future, another possible change will be the desire for humans to achieve interstellar travel. Even though for now this seems impossible, with the discovery of new technology and new understandings of the nature of the universe, it is likely a matter of time before humanity will find a way to leave our solar system.

In conclusion, I believe that as a whole, humanity’s exploration of space has been driven more by shared sense of humanity than national pride, and it is no doubt true that the future of space exploration will go far beyond humanity’s current achievements.

Some educationalists argue that non-exam, arts-based subjects, such as music, drama, art and craft, should be compulsory in the secondary-school curriculum. They believe that activities such as these can improve overall academic performance.
To what extent do you agree or disagree.

Some education experts believe that arts subjects should be mandatory in high school due to the benefits they provide to academic outcomes. Although this approach may not be ideal every case, I am of the opinion that arts subjects should generally be a required part of the school program.

There are a number of issues associated with making arts subjects mandatory. First of all, not all schools have the resources to provide this kind of an education. In the case of schools in poor countries or on tight budgets, attention must be given to subjects that the students will need for a financially successful future as a priority. Furthermore, it is true that certain arts subjects are not a perfect match for every student. Many students are introverted and shy, so to force them to take classes like drama and performance may be counterproductive.

However, in most cases, requiring students to have at least a certain amount of exposure to arts-based subjects is the right decision. Research has shown that learning a range of skills has a positive impact on cognitive ability and intelligence. For example, when Finland began to focus their education on exposing their students to a wider variety of subjects, the academic performance of their children rose to the best in the world. In addition, arts subjects have obvious benefits beyond academics. Arts subjects have the potential to introduce young people to activities, such as playing an instrument, that they may enjoy for the rest of their lives.

In conclusion, providing extensive arts programs is not realistic for every school, and not all students should not be forced to do every kind of art class. However, I do believe that whenever realistically possible, it should be mandatory for students to have some involvement in the arts.

The map illustrates the development of the town of Bellingham between 1980 and 2019. Overall, there was a substantial increase in the size of Bellingham. Included in this were the development of the town's residential areas and the establishment of a range of public services and infrastructure.

The first major phase of development began in 1990 with the establishment of a train line. Over the next decade, the town of Bellingham grew alongside the major road and around this train station. A school was built in this area in 1993 and a hospital close by in 2001.

Between 2010 and 2019, the second and largest phase of development occurred. This began with the building of a freeway in 2010. After this, Bellingham grew dramatically due to government assisted housing development alongside the freeway, railway line and major roads. Another addition to the town in this period was the construction of a sports stadium in 2012 nearby where the railway line intersects with the freeway.

Giving financial support to impoverished countries is not a solution to their poverty. Therefore, other types of help are proposed to be given to poor countries instead of giving money directly. I completely agree with this view.

There are two main reasons why the funds given may not help poor countries. Firstly, this may put even more stress in the economy of the country if the financial aid is not used wisely. This is because the poor countries will eventually need to give the money back. Unless they can do so, a possible case scenario can be giving out their land or natural resources to affluent countries, which can be even more costly in the long run. More importantly, there is a risk of not using the money for the original purpose. This usually happens when the officials of the poor country are corrupt. They tend to put their own personal needs ahead of their fellow citizens and only a small proportion of the population, usually a handful of people, can benefit from this type of help. Thus, supporting poor countries in this way does not always help them grow financially as a whole.

Nevertheless, there are other ways of supporting poor countries. Instead of giving money directly, rich countries can consider spending these funds on the education of the young generation in poor countries. This can be in forms of scholarships, bursaries, and grants in developed countries with specific terms and conditions. These can include working for a fixed period of time (3-5 years) in the country where they get knowledge and experience, and then going back to their own home countries to contribute to the development of their own field of work and study. Similarly, rich countries can send their experts for some time to share their expertise in this or that area of the development. They can pay higher amounts of salaries and then get the money back from poor countries. The experienced teachers, doctors, builders, and of course finance experts of the developed countries may educate their less experienced counterparts in the third world countries, resulting in improvements of these areas and overall well-being of the financially-struggled countries.

In conclusion, there are two main disadvantages of giving direct financial support to poor countries: handing in their precious resources and mismanagement of the funds. However, rich countries can help more by investing in the education and human resources of the poor countries. Therefore, I support the latter view.

The bar chart shows the percentages of men and women with illiteracy in different parts of the world last year. Overall, we can see that women are higher levels of illiteracy than men.

Develop countries have the lowest levels of illiteracy on the chart. Only one percent of men and two percent of women are illiteracy. However, in Latin American and Caribbean countries the percent is higher with ten percent of men and little more women. Moreover, In East Asia and Oceania less men are illiterate than in Latin America and Caribbean countries but the figure for women is much more higher at 20%. In Sub Saharan Africa rates are more than twice in East Asia and Oceania. More than thirty percent of men and a little lesser than fifty percent of women. On the other hand in Arab states this gap is even more with less than thirty percentage of men and more than fifty percent of women can’t read or write. South Asia has the highest illiteracy rates on the chart for both men and women.
