Some people feel that manufacturers and supermarkets have the responsibility to reduce the amount of packaging of goods. Others argue that customers should avoid buying goods with a lot of packaging. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
Environmental problems are attracting both governmental and international organizations more than ever before, such as in the case of packaging which has become a topic of discussion recently. While some people consider certain people like producers and business owners are exclusively responsible regarding this issue because of the power and finance they posses, others think public opinion can make a turning point here. Personally, they had better work on collaboration to reach effective measures.
From one perspective, manufacturers and markets,indeed, seems need to shoulder more responsibility regarding environmental pollution coming with excessive use of packaging. Initially, they have power to change public opinion about using plastic bags dramatically using various ways of marketing. Discounting strategy can be one of ultimate solution they could offer. Whenever they promote unpackaged goods or eco-friendly bags with discounts, consumers commence to utilize these sort of products to save their budget simultaneously preventing environmental pollution unconsciously.
Another effective, yet less economic way for companies, is complete removal of plastic packaging from their goods. Plastic packaging is the cheapest option for companies as at most the plastic they use comes from recycling and does not require much effort and investment to design them for their product. If they do not use this methods they have number of innovative ways to package their product in an eco-friendly ways. Single-use paper packaging - common packaging type in Germany and Japan- is an example in point where environmental pollution significantly reduced after transformation to this method.
Notwithstanding these arguments, general public is always the consumers to make final decisions regarding packaging. They always have the power to alter the situation unless government or companies want eco-friendly packaging. They could boycott companies or demand less environmentally damaging products for their daily use. In this case producers have no option but to adjust consumer needs in order not to loose consumers and reputation in the market consequently. Famous bakery company in Uzbekistan - Safia - is what begun introducing paper packaging after public request.
Above mentioned arguments mean both companies and public can make a change regarding packaging of goods. Yet without the positive reaction of one side to the shift, there could not be any solutions. For example, unless consumers stop using convenient and multiple use plastic packaging, there is no point in introducing eco-friendly bags. The same scenario is true for companies because there are always someone to buy the product either with packages or not.
In conclusion, consumer-company collaboration is the best way tackle issues related to packaging because they hold equal weights in the scale to solve the issue.

The table compares how much percent of women are in labor force and managerial positions in five different countries. Overall, female employees mainly worked as a labour force, only exception of Australia where two ratio was almost the same, with higher rates of women in managerial positions. Women as an ordinary employee was especially common in Japan, while significantly more women occupied managerial positions in Australia and the USA.
}
As for the women in labour force, 48% Japanese women in those positions and it was followed by the USA showing 46% according to this category. While the same 42% of Australian and Sri Lankan women worked in Labor Force, it was the lowest in Egypt with 20%.
In managerial positions, however, Australia and the USA showed the dominance as 43% managers there were women. In other countries women rarely manages organizations as it was only 17 in Japan and 12 in Egypt. The highest difference between women in labor force and management was significant in Sri Lanka as only 9% women worked as managers there.

It is neither possible nor useful for a country to provide university places for a high proportion of young people. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
For school graduates university education has always been a dream educational institution to pursue their studies and gain valuable knowledge needed in their further career path. For this reason some people believe universities should increase admission quota to cover as many students as they can. However, I completely disagree with this idea as it has adverse affects on pre-tertiary education, undergraduate years, and post-graduate life of students.
Initially, increasing university admission volume pose risk on academic performance of school pupils. University entrance exams usually require deep understanding of knowledge in specific subjects together with certain practical skills in some cases, meaning in order to be accepted pupils should compete with other school graduates. To be top-tier in those exams, school pupils constantly try not to miss any important information on their textbooks which increased their academic skills thereby. Unless there is a limit in university admissions, students could have no willing but willingness to study at school. This reluctance gradually erodes the reputation of school and job satisfaction of school staff consequently. This all means unlimited admission slots drastically alters school education atmosphere negatively.
Undergraduate-wise problems occurring thereafter increased university admission slots are also too significant to overlook. Whenever they accept students more than their capacity, it could strain quality of knowledge there. The reason is that, in this scenario university professors need to conduct more lessons than they physically could, additionally universities become in-need of more classrooms and teaching equipment for the sake of quality lesson. Hiring more teaching staff and renting more venues could be an alternative solution for universities, yet it requires substantial investments which is mostly out of their budget.
The last but not the least, proposed educational implementation further influence on the economy of a country. Cadres studied in above-mentioned educational atmosphere are highly unlikely to know their speciality comprehensively, meaning they are out of knowledge to run a company, to conduct a medical research or simply calculate government budget. This inability erodes government economy, consequently leading to national economic crisis in a worse case scenario. Another significant risk could be increased unemployment rate as not all governments can provide this much employment opportunities for increased number of university graduates.
In conclusion, increasing university admission slots has detrimental impact on fundamental educational systems and workforce which then may lead to economic collapse of the state. Therefore, it is better to remain in this admission method unless there is other more beneficial alternative.
