Popular events such as Olympics or world cup can be helpful in easing international tensions by promoting healthy competition, but it can still be influenced by the present relation between countries.

Popular sports event such as cricket world cup in Pakistan promotes healthy activity not just for the participants but also for the citizens of the country. The time period during which cricket world cup is played the minds of the people are diverted towards watching cricket matches and a smaller number of people participates in riots and other patriotic gatherings. Even though Pakistan and India do not have good relations, players during matches are found to be shaking hands with each other. Moreover, most of the journalists on news channel debate about the cricket matches rather highlighting the negative aspects of neighboring countries. Furthermore, the host country also spends more resources and time in developing the area surrounding stadiums in order to attract tourist, while cutting back time and resources on international rivalry.

Nonetheless, international tensions can adversely impact the sports event as well. Talking about the cricket matches between Pakistan and India more aggression is visible not only among players but also among views. For instance, it is common to see arguments and exchange of harsh words between players during matches. Moreover, viewers are also seen throwing things towards players in the fields, including soft drink bottles. Hence, popular events including cricket world cup is not an effective measure to ease the international tensions that exist, and it can also exaggerate the problems if occurred during those matches

Thus, I believe popular events can divert people from patriotic emotions but diverting players from international tensions is difficult and requires proper training.

Many people want to look younger than their real age because of the requirement of their profession, personal likeness or staying fashionable.

People belonging to the profession of showbiz needs to look younger than their real age in order to remain a part of the industry. That is the reason supermodels and film stars work hard in terms of proper diet and workout to look younger so they could have continued fan following. For example, majority of lead roles in films are given to those actors or actresses who looked young. This is a positive development which also have favorable impact on the health of the person by keeping one fit.

Secondly, as far as men are concerned, most of them want to look younger so that they could wear boys clothing. As sneakers, jeans, hoodies mostly look good on younger people. For instance, if I talk about myself, I like to look younger so I could wear shorts and t-shirts. This is indeed a positive development because for it I do regular workout to stay in shape.

Moreover, talking about women who are very concerned about their looks and most of them hide their true age, perhaps want to look younger. They want this because of their personal desire to look younger than their friends, family members and colleagues in their circle. Some do regular work out and take healthy diet, while others also rely on facial surgeries and usage of drugs. Even though staying young through natural means give benefits, reliance on surgeries and drugs have negative repercussions in the long term.

Thus, many people want to look young due to the requirement of their profession, staying fashionable or personal inclination.

As we know, every country allocates funds for public interest’s projects to create new buildings or either renovate the existing ones. Despite of the fact construction of new landmarks would create employment, i believe in the renovation of existing buildings first. However, the surplus amount can be utilize for the construction of new ones. By considering new construction policy, it would be expensive, un-appropriate money use, burden upon public interest and many more.

To begin with, estsblishing new landmarks should be proportionate to the public need which requires construction of new projects should be as per the population growth. Otherwise it would be wrong use of taxpayers.

Even though building new museums, town halls lead to growth in construction sector, it can be un-suitable as these projects requires long time period as well as huge budgets. Although base matters, Buildings depriciate over the period 20 to 100 years approximately. Despite of the fact that normal wear ane tear exist, the furniture and fixtures have lesser life 5 to 10 years only. I
Since we know, Its more suitable to replace these with new one along.
To sum up, i believe in maximum utilisation of each thing especially money. By focusing, re-construciton/ renovation of existing ones, amount can be wisely utilize. On the other hand excessive finance can be spent upon well-being betterment or other productive projects.

The rich are becoming richer and poor are becoming poorer, around the world. This is due to investment opportunites, tax system and access to resources which is intensifying the problem. I will discuss the reasons in detail and will also provide solutions for it.

Firstly, the investment opportunities provide more returns to big investors as compared to small ones. For instance, a person investing 100 million will be offered returns more than 15% by a financial institution; while, a person who is investing 1 million will get returns at around 5%. That is why, rich people are more in a position to expand their wealth as compared to poor people. This problem could be addressed by central banks providing same rate of returns for big and small investors so there is equality for the citizens.

Moreover, poor and rich are paying same taxes on the basic commodities such as bread and butter. So, the people who are earning more or are wealthy pay same amount of taxes on basic goods as poor people pay. For example, poor people who are struggling to meet their food requirement and are living from hand to mouth, still have to pay the taxes on food in Pakistan in comparison to rich people who can easily afford it. Hence, there should be equity in tax system so poor people are exempt from taxes while rich people are made to pay for it.

In terms of availability of resources if we talk about education it also varies according to the social status of people. If I talk about Pakistan there is availability of local education, British education which is O and A levels and the American schooling as well. Therefore, rich people can afford best international education due to which they also land on a well-paid job. Whereas, poor people get limited education from government institutes of low standard and end up being unemployed or accepting a low paid job. Hence, there should be same quality of education provided by government to rich and poor people, so that poor people can also get a chance to improve their social status and get out of poverty.

These are the reasons which are causing rich people to become richer, while poor people becoming poorer, around the world.

Now-a-days, the shops has been opened for longer hours in many part of the world. Although it may have some effect on the personal life of owner, I argue that it will be a benificial for both owner and society.

To start with, the positive development for the owner of shop. The owner has a benefit of increasing profit. For instance, if the shop’s owner open their shop for longer hours it definitely add more income for the owner. Sometime the people who does jobs, they does not have enough time for the purchasing. If the shops are open for a longer time, they can easily purchase the things according to their suitable time.

To conclude, it is a positive development for the shoppers and community. If the opening hours of any outlet will increase, it will atomaticaly add more profit for community.

I believe higher institutions cannot act as a partisan towards academic or practical subjects because it depends on the area of a person in which he or she plan to specialize. So, higher education must provide autonomy to study according to the specialized field.

For instance, people who plan to pursue career in accounts, IT or engineering should focus more on practical subjects because after higher studies students will enter the practical environment so it would give them more benefit to study about practical subjects. For them, academic subjects should have been covered before their secondary education so that they are also aware about academic subjects including history and the physical sciences to some extent.

Conversely, some professions are entirely related to physical sciences and has nothing to do with practical subjects. For instance, a person planning to teach history has nothing to do with practical subjects such as computing, engineering or auditing. Therefore, more focus on academic subjects will be required even at higher education.

This is the reason most of the institutes focus on academic subjects during earlier education and shift to practical subjects during higher studies in order to make them ready before their practical working environment. For example, the curriculum followed in Pakistan actually allows students to study wide range of subjects including courses of humanities and social sciences even at baccalaureate level and then allows to opt for major and minor courses.

Therefore, I believe higher institutions should provide an opportunity of liberal arts education which allows people to choose their subjects according to their desired field of work.

I believe films and computer games which contain violence do not have a negative effect on society and they should not be banned because although movies do show tips and tricks related to violence but most of the people watch it for entertainment purposes and the terrorist and criminals are not found to be watching such violent movies or playing games that caused them to do such activities.
As far as teenager and adult males are concerned, violent video games and movies are quite popular in these days. Number of movies are allocated R category due to explicit violence that is in terms of bloodshed, weapons and drugs. Many college students try out drugs while they are getting their education just to look cool and end up doing violence. For example, many western movies show alcohol and drugs which cause students to try such things with their friends. This results in teenagers becoming addict for life or even involved in criminal activities, such as stealing and fighting.
Conversely, most of the teenagers and students watch violent movies and play such video games just for recreational purposes as they understand good moral behavior due to their upbringing and education. According to a research by National College of Arts, teenagers who watched violent movies were more socially responsible as compared to those who do not know much about it.
Also, criminals and terrorist are not found to be watching violent movies or playing violent games that provoke them to do such untoward activities; but, it is the poverty or lack of entertainment facilities that forced them to become unethical citizens. For example, a survey in national prison of Punjab it was found, 80% of criminals did not even had access to entertainment while they were children.
Thus, I believe films and computer games which contain violence do not have negative effect on society and they should not be banned.
