In the mist of financial turmoil and massive layoff, it is understandable that the majority of university students think of their future job security as a pressing priority. Accordingly, they tend to regard universities primarily as institutions where employment skills can be acquired. This is especially true when we consider the fact that the cost of tuition and fees has been rising each year, which means to many, pursing higher education is very much like making a substantial investment. Thus, university students and their parents alike tend to expect reasonable rates of return than can be, to some degree, quantified by the job skills students possess.

Still, I wish to point out that merely equipping students with employment skills may defeat the very purpose of universities as educational institutions. Realistically, it would be very hard for university administrators and faculty to determine what technical skills and knowledge will be needed three or four years from now as the technology in many areas is updating itself on a daily basis. What will also be at risk is the students’ capacity to innovate because true innovations require thorough understanding of fundamental theories in the related fields rather than the ability to apply these theories in the workplace, which is exactly how we define the employment skills.

The main function of universities, therefore, should be building core curricula that stress the fostering of employment skills while at the same time, providing students with electives on the theoretical aspects of their fields of interest, which not only facilitates their grasp of the job skills but ensures their capacity to apply these skills innovatively as well.

nowadays, there are lots of advertisements on television or on the streets. Some people think that the advertising boosts the sales of goods and it encourages people to buy things

unnecessarily.

This argument may be true. In my country, many advertising companies produce advertisements with famous and popular actors or singers. People, especially youngsters, buy goods that their favourite singer advertises, although they do not really need the products. Also, on the television screen, a product may look gorgeous and good quality. As a result of it, people often buy goods without enough consideration. consumers may not actually need it but they buy goods impulsively soon after they watch the advertising. Furthermore, as many customers buy a particular product due to its advertising campaign,the other people may be affected by the trend, even if the product is not of the real needs of the society.

On the other hand, there are various aspects against these arguments. Firstly, it is people’s choice to make a decision to buy goods. Advertising may be not a cause of customers’ buying habits. Individuals have their own spending habits. If they have got enough disposable income, then the right to make a decision is given to them. No one actually can judge whether the goods sold are the real needs of the society or not. In addition, as there should a limited amount of disposable income consumers are able to spend, people try to allocate their budgets. They cannot be simply swayed by those advertisements.

In conclusion, as customers have their own strong opinions and standard of good quality goods, it is better to leave them to make their own decision in buying goods. It is fairly difficult to say everyone is swayed by advertising and buy goods impulsively. However, in the sensitive area of businesses such as toy industries, it may be necessary to ban advertising to those children as children have not got enough ability to control themselves or to know what they need.

A much debated issue these days is whether citizens should take out private health insurance or not. In this essay, I will argue that people who can afford it should be privately insured, but free medical care must be made available for those too poor to do so.

The most important reason for encouraging people to take out private health insurance is the cost of the government. Free health coverage for people who are able to pay for it is a waste of public money. Of course, people will only pay health insurance premiums if they know that they are getting good value for their money. If they get sick, they will pay little or nothing at all. In addition, the privately insured are entitled to special benefits such as having the choice of their own doctors, and being able to avoid long waiting lists for hospital beds.

On the other hand, those who really cannot afford to pat private insurance premiums, which are often very high, should still be entitled as citizens to the best medical care available. They cannot be expected to pay their own medical bills. However, if they are working, they should still pay a percentage of their wages as a tax which pays towards the cost of providing free medical services.

In conclusion, I think most people should privately insure their health. But it is unreasonable to suppose that all citizens can afford it. Therefore, a safety net in the form of a basic free health care system must exist for the very poor and the unemployed.

Environmental problems have reached such proportions that people feel international organizations must be set up to intervene in world affairs to resolve these problems. Whether this will resolve the problem is very unlikely as international organizations are just an extension of

human behavior. That is, if human conflicts cannot be resolved at home, then they are unlikely to be resolved at the international level. Nevertheless, international organizations do attract attention to the growing problem of aims of the international community to resolve the issue of environmental pollution and support their cause, I do not believe it is the best or only way to protect the environment; in fact, it is only a small part of what is needed in a global initiative.

All world problems, whether it is environmental pollution, war, energy insufficiency, or famine, arise from the abusive behavior of all individuals. Therefore, the solution to all these problems is the need for a collective consciousness. What is meant by this is that each individual must be aware of the impact he or she has on the world and their unique part to play in this world. After all, if one is happy with his life, he will surely not endeavor to harm the environment or anyone else. His behavior will be that of a responsible individual.

What is needed, therefore, is education. Education is the key to all problems and it starts from pregnancy all the way to adulthood and beyond. Furthermore, education means that children all over the world should be allowed to go to schools with good teachers and where teaching materials and methods can be adapted to each individual. Education means raising children to be responsible individuals.

This may sound like utopia, but it is not: if a country had important problems in its educational system, then it should realize that it is contributing to the world’s problems. These are perhaps long term solutions, but they are more realistic solutions than setting up yet another international organization.
