In their advertising, businesses nowadays usually emphasize that their products are new in some way.
Why is this? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?
As products grow in number and range, companies are seeking ways to market them in newer lights, one of which is singling out their products from others by bringing public attention to their novelty. Several other reasons can be cited why this is happening, and to me, it is as much of a positive development as it is a negative one.
I believe there are two main reasons that might explain why more focus is placed on the originality of a product when advertising. The first, arguably most obvious, reason has to do with consumer behavior. Newer products tend to generate more interest among consumers which will in turn increase sales, hence bringing more income. Every time a new line of Apple products is unveiled, the CEO, Tim Cook, emphasizes how different they are from the older versions as well as their competitors’ in terms of their function range and quality. This move goes a long way to keeping customers interested and boosting sales figures. The second reason also speaks to the psychology of the consumer. By installing new features in their products, businesses can make them more desirable than those of their competitors; a customer whose is undecided between two options might simply gravitate towards the one with newer qualities.
In my view, such a trend should be recognized as being both negative and positive. On a positive note, this development will ultimately benefit the economy as sales grow and people start spending more since more consumption leads to job creation in transportation and production sectors to meet the increasing demand from the costumer. However, some unscrupulous businesses might try to sell people products that are practically identical to other products available in the market that come with better quality and prices. In this case, the result is often consumer dissatisfaction that might manifest itself in their future choice not to buy a product of that kind.
In conclusion, it is fair to say that the marketing strategy in question is devised based primarily on consumer behavior, and I am still of the opinion that it should be regarded as both positive and negative development.

Overpopulation in many major urban centers around the world is a major problem. What are the causes of this? How can this problem be solved?
The issue many metropolises are facing is one of overpopulation. While there are some driving forces of this phenomenon, a number of measures can be taken to deal with this concern.
Two principal reasons appear to explain why big cities are attractive to people although these areas have high population density. The main cause is job opportunities in major municipal areas. Cities usually have higher minimum wages, offer a wider job variety and better career prospects for people, making them seem an ideal place to live. Another cause of overpopulation is easy access to facilities. Unlike rural or suburban areas, urban places have excellent transport infrastructure, high quality education, developed healthcare, and entertainment options, all of which are the factors that add to people’s satisfaction and happiness.
Turning to possible solutions to overpopulation, perhaps a major step would be to equalize remuneration of workers everywhere. If governments implement this suggestion, we will probably deter many people from moving to cities in search of a better life, as money is an extremely, if not the most, essential motivator. Besides motivating financially, states can also improve the quality of life in rural or suburban areas. Once people are provided with as good facilities as there are in major urban areas, they are less likely to move. Finally, if these two measures have little to no impact, the best way to discourage movement to cities is by increasing the level of taxes in these places. Not only will this make the city life an expensive luxury, but also it will promote depopulation in metropolitan areas as a consequence.
Overall, the causes of overpopulation in cities have primarily to do with employment and amenities. However, the government can take a number of steps to tackle this issue.

It is said that people should be encouraged to get married before they are 30, as this is best both for the individual and for society. Do you agree or disagree?
Some people feel that getting married prior to turning 30 is most beneficial for society and the newlyweds themselves. While this may be true to a certain extent, I think that age is just a number when it comes to building a happy family.
There are both personal and social benefits when people get married in their 20s. This is the age when people are curious and adventurous, so they are in a constant search of excitement and novelty. This, in effect, can be a cause of social ills like drug abuse, drinking, and prostitution, as we see in the instances of some western countries. However, if people have a family to look after, they will have to shoulder various household responsibilities and earn money to meet the needs; completely different positive priorities at this stage in their life. On a societal level, the chances are that couples will have healthier children if they get married before 30, for after this time, people’s physical strength weakens and physicians generally do not recommend having a baby after 35. Risking babies’ life or compromising its or a mother’s health are not sensible decisions when there is an alternative.
Whereas establishing a family early in life seems to be a worthwhile decision, it is may not always be the right one. In the first place, reaching maturity differs from one person to another. This implies that some of them may not be able to cope with relationship-wise issues, unable to make important decisions and therefore not be able to guarantee the security of their family. Not only immaturity, but also finances can be a serious issue in the lives of newlyweds due to their hasty decision to get married. This is because people during their 20s are usually taking their first steps in the world of work having graduated from universities, which means that they are less likely in a good financial condition. Being unable to deal with financial challenges of family, young couples tend to resort to divorce. The consequences may even be disastrous if they have children. In this sense, it is a change for the worse for both the individuals and society.
A marriage before the age of 30 does present a number of benefits; in my view, however, people’s maturity and financial condition should determine the age to build a family.

Some people believe that nowadays too much money is being spent on weddings and birthdays. Why do you think it is happening? What can be done to improve this situation?
Special occasions like birthdays and weddings are crucial events in people’s lives, so they, these days, are trying to celebrate them extravagantly. Although some reasons might explain why they do so, a number of measures can be suggested to tackle this social issue.
Focusing on the causes of spending too much money on weddings and birthdays, perhaps the most obvious one is people’s desire to show off. Not only is this true for the wealthy who have important connections among whom hosts want to stand out, but also it is being a common case among the general public who seek respect and recognition. Another reason for this attitude is the intention to mark a crucial date in one’s life. Weddings, for instance, are usually celebrated once in a lifetime, so couples want to make sure that this event is remembered by their relatives, friends and close-knits; thus, organizing parties and ceremonies in a luxurious fashion spending large sums of money.
Turning to possible solutions to this “sumptuous” way of celebrating events, the most effective one seems to be passing laws to deter people from doing so. Organizing birthday parties may not be as costly as organizing weddings, but still if people’s financial conditions are not sound, there is a risk of them getting into debt. If the government introduces laws to limit the number of attendees to these parties, hosts can economize significantly on spending. Besides enforcing laws, the government also can educate the public to be more prudent. This is most effectively done at schools. As a result, education of this kind will nurture more conscious, thrifty, and sensible adults, in the long run.
The causes of spending excessive amounts of money on opulent celebrations like weddings and birthdays are twofold. However, this trend can be addressed by the government initiatives of introducing laws and public education.
