HI everyone, I need help on my argumentation essay. Here is the topic: "Should gay marriage be legalized ?" Feel free to jot down your ideal and emotions on my essay. If you come up some argues against my points, you can tell me to fix my essay. Just treat like your essay.

When I was 8th grade year in Sunnybrook Middle School, I was invited to a gay marriage of John and David. On May 1st, 2008, they began their wedding in the backyard of my family in the afternoon. They held hands, hugged, and kissed each other with tearful eyes during the whole time of their wedding. At ten o clock, I noticed parents of John and David who watched their wedding angrily in my Aunt Thai's house. They suddenly came over to my backyard, separated their hands, and yelled at their sons for their immoral marriage. After two month, John's family moved to Chicago so John and David could not see each other. Living in a harsh environment of Chicago, John quickly adapted to the fast pace of life and dated a girl name Marie. Now, I look back at John's life. I have realized that their parents are totally correct for preventing gay marriage. Gay marriage should not be legalized because gay marriage increases the chance of getting diseases, affects the children on academic performance and personalities, and destroys the meaning of family. First of all, gay marriage increases the chance of getting diseases. Homosexual activities are the major causes of sexual transmission diseases such as HIV and AIDS, gonorrhea, hepatitis types B and C, and syphilis. According to a study done by Center for Disease Control in 1998, 54 percent of AIDS cases in America are homosexual men and 90 percent of HIV cases are gay. Moreover, in the article "Gay Culture Weigh Sense and Sexuality" written by Sheryl Gay Stolberg in 1997 of New York Times, young men have 50 percent chance of getting HIV by middle ages. In addition to increase the chance of getting diseases, gay marriage affects the children on academic performance and personalities. Children living in homosexual family have lower academic performance than heterosexual family. In a study done by Rosenfeld, 9.5 percent of children raised in homosexual families have to repeat a grade while there are 7 percent of children raised in heterosexual families repeat a grade. Moreover, gay marriages affect the personalities of children. Researcher believes that children need both men and women to raise their talents instead of same sex parents. In the article Children Need a Mom and a Dad from orthodoxytoday.org, women support the physical and emotion needs of children while men encourage children to be

independence and competitive. If a child lives in gay families, he or she will not find much love from mother. On the other hand, if a child lives in lesbian families, he or she will not find traits of competitive from father. Finally, and most important, gay marriage destroys the meaning of family. According to the Webster dictionary, family can be explained in term of relationship duration and commitment. First, homosexual relationships just only last couple months rather than long term relationships of heterosexual marriage. In the article The Sexual Organization of the City written by sociologist Edward Laumann, he says that a normal gay relationship just only lasts six months and there are few couples which last more than two years. In another article Male and Female Homosexuality, Saghir and Robins conclude the average homosexual relationships usually last from two to three years. In addition to relationship duration, homosexual relationships are not faithful to each other's. Researchers point out that an average gay usually has a lot of partners in their lifetime. A study done by Bell and Weinberg shows that 43 percent of white gays had sex with 500 partners, and 28 percent of white gays slept with thousand partners. Although there are many people say that banning gay marriage is an act of discrimination against homosexual couples, gay marriage should not be legalized because it destroys the meaning of family, affects the children on academic performance and personalities, and increases the chance of getting diseases. If people carefully consider many sexual transmission diseases which primarily affect the homosexual lifestyles, perhaps we will not lose some talented gays or lesbians. Since the homosexual activities are the major causes of death in homosexual couples, people should not allow gay marriage to be legalized. jgonzalezd May 9, 2012, 12:37am #2

I used to be closed-minded about gays. But after I realized that there are really, really important things as corruption in our government, I saw we are all in the same boat. No matter your sexual orientation, all that matter is that we have to be united to contruct a better world. It is not sexual orientation what make a good o bad person but the ideas. All depends on education, please take it in consideration, as well as heterosexual couples can be good parents there are heterosexual couples than are bad parents, some even rape their daugthers. The sexual orientation is not the issue to address, it is the culture as whole. Gay parents can be very supportive parents I guess, since they are not able to conceive naturally I think they would really appreciate to have a children and would give anything to rase him/her well (there are also exeptions). I am straigth (and I really like girls more than you can't imagine) but for me is OK that gays marry or do whatever they want since they are not hurting or annoying anyone else.

Well,I am of the view that there should be freedom and liberty for everybody.It will be like depriving people from their rights if we ban or try to ban gay marriages on the ground that its immoral or anything.I personally feel that it will give a positive edge to one's personality if he gets the man of his choice so gay marriage should be legalized.

You're a good writer. Kudos. However, your major issue with this paper is that many of your assertions are merely unsubstantiated claims. You fail to provide a sufficient amount of evidence to convince your readers. Be sure to critically analyze your sources and convey your findings to the reader in a succinct but informative manner. I look forward to reading your next draft. When I was 8th grade year in Sunnybrook Middle School, I was invited to a gay marriage of John and David. On May 1st, 2008, they began their wedding in the backyard of my family in the afternoon. They held hands, hugged, and kissed each other with tearful eyes during the whole time of their wedding. At ten o clock, I noticed the parents of John and David who watched their wedding angrily in my Aunt Thai's house. They suddenly came over to my backyard, separated their hands, and yelled at their sons for their immoral marriage. After two months, John's family moved to Chicago so that John and David could not see each other. Living in a the harsh environment of Chicago, John quickly adapted acclimated to the a fast pace of life and started dateding a girl name Marie. Now, I look back at John's life. [Awkward transition.] I have realized that their parents are were totally correct right for preventing gay protesting against their marriage. [What specific point in time made you change your perceptions of gay marriage? What were your original perceptions? You never mentioned this.] Gay marriage should not be legalized because gay marriage increases the chance of getting contracting diseases, affects the childrens' on academic performance and personalities negatively, and destroys the meaning of family. [This thesis is flawed. "Destroys the meaning of family" is the only one you somewhat substantiated in this paragraph. Did the gay couple ever contract a disease? Did they have children whose academic performance suffered as a result of their civil union? Overall, this paragraph lacks cohesion.] First of all, gay marriage increases the chance of getting diseases. Homosexual activities are the major causes of sexually transmission transmitted diseases such as HIV and AIDS, gonorrhea, hepatitis types B and C, and syphilis. [In this paragraph, you provided only evidence to support AIDS. What about HIV, gonorrhea, etc.?] According to a study done by Center for Disease Control in 1998 [Use statistics that are more recent than 1998], 54 percent of AIDS cases in America are homosexual men and 90 percent of HIV cases are gay. [Elaborate. More information is needed. How many men were surveyed? Geographic locations? Age?] Moreover, in the article

"Gay Culture Weigh Sense and Sexuality" written by Sheryl Gay Stolberg in 1997 of New York Times, young men have 50 percent chance of getting HIV by middle ages. [Citing questionable evidence without critically analyzing it only undermines your assertions. If you cannot validate and critical analyze the claims of your sources, how can your readers readily concur? I suggest revising this paragraph.] In addition to increased the chances of getting contracting diseases, gay marriage affects the children on academic performance and personalities. Children living in homosexual family have lower academic performance than heterosexual family. In a study done by Rosenfeld, 9.5 percent of children raised in homosexual families have to repeat a grade while there are 7 percent of children raised in heterosexual families repeat a grade. [Only a single study was done? One could also argue that there are more heterosexual marriages than homosexual ones; therefore, 7 percent of heterosexual marriages constitutes a larger disparity of children who have to repeat a grade than children with same-sex parents.] Moreover, gay marriages affect the personalities of children. Researchers believes that children need both men and women to raise their talents [What do you mean by "talents"?] instead of same sex parents. [Which researchers? Are you referring to the people at orthodoxytoday.org? Rather than rely on the opinions of a nonprofit website, cite evidence from educational institutions and researchers that are recognized authorities on the subject matter. Don't base your entire argument on an article titled "Children Need a Mom and a Dad."] In the article Children Need a Mom and a Dad from orthodoxytoday.org, women support the physical and emotion needs of children while men encourage children to be independence and competitive. If a child lives in gay families, he or she will not find much love from mother. On the other hand, if a child lives in lesbian families, he or she will not find traits of competitive from father. Finally, and most importantly, gay marriages destroys the meaning of family. According to the Webster dictionary, family can be explained in term of relationship duration and commitment. [Faulty reasoning. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary also defines marriage as persons living in the same household, people of common ancestry, and the basic unit of a family consisting of two parents. In that particular dictionary, no where does it define family as a union between a man and a woman nor does it define it on the basis of duration and "commitment." Which edition did you use? If outdated, use more current sources in your paper. Consider revising this statement, as it further undermines your overall argument.] First, homosexual relationships just only last couple months rather than long term relationships of heterosexual marriage. In the article The Sexual Organization of the City written by sociologist Edward Laumann, he says that a normal gay relationship just only lasts six months and there are few couples which last more than two years. In another article Male and Female Homosexuality, Saghir and Robins conclude the average homosexual relationships usually last from two to three years. [You don't provide any credible statistics to support your argument. Give readers an analysis as well as background information into these studies. You can do so by summarizing that information succinctly. Most of the time, readers will not visit the article to confirm your argument. That's why, as writers, we have to do the research for them.] In addition to relationship duration, homosexual relationships are not faithful to each other's. Researchers point out that an average gay person usually has a lot of partners in their lifetime. A study done by Bell and Weinberg shows that 43 percent of white gays had sex with 500 partners, and 28 percent of white gays slept with thousand partners. [For every article or study used, provide proper citations and dates to corroborate your reasoning. Readers

will not accept claims at face value without such pertinent information. The reader must feel that you were thorough in your research and analysis. However, most of your arguments rely on laconic and unsubstantiated claims.] Although there are many people say that banning gay marriage is an act of discrimination against homosexual couples, gay marriage should not be legalized because it destroys the meaning of family, affects the children on academic performance and personalities, and increases the chance of getting diseases. [After reading this paper, I am not convinced that your arguments hold any truth. Refine your paper according to my suggestions. I'd be interested to read it again.] If people carefully consider many sexual transmission diseases which primarily affect the homosexual lifestyles, perhaps we will not lose some talented gays or lesbians [This was never talked about in the essay, which makes its appearance peculiar.] Since the homosexual activities are the major causes of death in homosexual couples [Where is the information supporting this claim? You did not provide any statistics in the preceding paragraphs.], people should not allow gay marriage to be legalized.

Gay marriage should be legalized because it is uncivilized and unmerited. Our civil rights and the Constitution give us many liberties. One of our civil liberties is the pursuit of happiness, which homosexual people are not allowed to chase. They cannot be married to the person they love and it violates their freedoms. According to professorshouse.com, “In Alaska, Nevada, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Nebraska, Missouri, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Alabama, not only is gay marriage banned, but so are civil partnerships.” Others might ask why gay marriage should be legalized, but my question is this: why should other people be able to choose who marries who? If a man and a woman get married, no one seems to care. They are two people who feel affection for one another and those two people want to start a family. If we change the scenario a little bit and a man and a man, or a woman and a woman, try to get married it causes uproar. They are not allowed to be married or raise a family together. Imagine waking up one day to a world that was completely opposite from the world we went to sleep in, meaning gay people are now straight and all straight people are now gay. Do you think the newly straight people would fight for the newly homosexual people’s rights? America is the land of the free, but we are not free to marry whomever we would like. After everything straight people have put homosexual people through, in this scenario, homosexual people would most likely vote for their rights because they would want their rights to be voted for. We are equals in this world whether we are Black, White, Hispanic, Indian, or any other race for that matter. Why should we not be equals based on sexual orientation? The 1st amendment of the Constitution states that a person’s religious beliefs or a lack of thereof must be protected. Legislatures also cannot discriminate against marriages of the minority party which,

homosexual people fall into that category. There is also an amendment stating there is separation of church and state, so you cannot declare that a marriage is a gift from God. In a marriage there is one thing that truly matters: love. Yes, other things are important too, but not one couple would make it to even asking someone to marry them if there was not some love. Las Vegas, Nevada is also known for being the place where many weddings occur which are annulled within one week. These marriages are not based off love, but simply a drunken night in Vegas. High divorce rates weaken what a marriage is defined as. Why are we not able to rewrite what a marriage stands for and make it include a homosexual marriage? The definition of love, according to dictionary.com is as follows: “Very strong affection: an intense feeling of tender affection and compassion.” If gay people feel this way then why shouldn’t they be able to be married? If they are happy with each other, said persons should be able to marry. California, Hawaii, New York, and the District of Columbia all have domestic partnership laws and civil partnerships meaning it is almost a marriage without the matrimony. Civil partnerships also give couples the ability to have joint bank accounts, live in the same house, and pay bills together. Homosexual couples are not entitled to this in most states. Marriage benefits should be available to all couples, no matter what. In places where gay marriages are banned, the gay couples are not able to have the same benefits as others. When filing for health care or insurance through a job, gay couples are not able to add each other on. Most loved ones, such as a spouse or a child, in a straight marriage, can make life altering decisions in a hospital if need be. Since gay marriage is not legal, said person’s spouse is not recognized as their next of kin and care is delayed. Who would be affected if homosexual marriage was legalized? No one. Everyone believes there is one person who is out there to love us. Gay people feel the same way. Parenthood is a benefit of marriage and gay couples cannot have children by themselves, without some type of help, so they look to adoption agencies. In some cases gay couples are put on longer waiting lists or denied completely. There are other benefits to being married as well, such as tax breaks. On the website professorshouse.com it reads, “When we hit our mid-thirties, we wanted only true friendships- friendships that were durable.” This is a perfect example of matrimony and what it should be based on. . According to dictionary.com a marriage is, “The legal or religious ceremony that formalizes the decision of two people to live as a married couple, including the accompanying social festivities.” If this is a marriage why are gay people not included in this? Even though gay marriage should be legalized, some people have different beliefs. In most religions including, Christianity, Islam, and Orthodox Judaism same sex preferences are a sin. People believe in procreation to repopulate the world, but are against gay marriage and homosexuals adopting children because they cannot procreate on their own. If this is a stand point on making or breaking gay marriage then only people who are fertile and want to procreate should be able to get married according to this bias. America has never really given gay marriage a chance, but they believe gay marriage will weaken its institution by leading to high divorce rates. On loveandpride.com I read, “One reason legislatures are denying gay marriage is because they are fearful that opening the door to allowing gay marriages will open the door to polygamy as well. This would also mean reopening cases about polygamy in the past

which they are not willing to do.” Others are fearful for children’s futures and they fear being raised by two fathers or by two mothers may compromise children’s mental capacities. Even though to most people gay marriage should be illegal and should stay in its current state, I believe we need to change the world for future generations. We feared that different religions were going to clash, but now all of the religions coexist. White people had Black and Hispanic slaves, but we overcame the odds and now White men, Black men, and Hispanic men can be equals. If it is possible to overcome such fierce obstacles then we can overcome the boundary obstructing gay marriages and straight marriages alike. Gay marriage should be legalized for these reasons. Evolution will always continue and at any given point in time, something will occur that we will not like in this world, but we can overcome this. Gay marriage is a controversial issue that people have been fighting for years and it has finally come to the surface. We should take charge of it.

Print Media vs Electronic Media

The word media conjures up images of newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and internet along with reporters and correspondents with their recording devices and cameras running after celebrities. There was a time when the world of media was dominated by newspapers, and the owners of newspapers were moguls in their own right. The invention of radio and television opened up a world of possibilities and the media got divided into print and electronic versions. The recent emergence of the internet has added strength to electronic media in no uncertain terms. For those aspiring to make a career in the world of media, it is important to understand the differences between print media and electronic media. Let us take a closer look. Print Media For nearly a century, media was synonymous with print media as newspapers and magazines were the only sources of communication and for dissemination of information. Books, periodicals, newspapers etc were a great medium in the form of paper and text, printed using ink. People had very few means of entertainment and relied a great deal upon information provided by print media, to make opinions. People started their mornings with newspapers to get their daily dose of information from the world of politics, entertainment, sports, and about their city and the world at large. The information being in printed form, it is possible to carry newspapers to all places and read them anytime one desires. However, uneducated and illiterate people cannot make use of print media as they cannot read. In print media, reporters and writers have no face and they are behind the scenes, loving a life of anonymity. Print media is not available at all times and gets published at regular intervals so that one has to wait for the fresh edition to arrive in the market.

Electronic Media Electronic media includes all mediums of sharing information that are not in print form. Therefore, radio, television, and the internet make up this form of media. People can listen on radio and see live pictures of events and calamities along with the comments, opinions, and remarks of correspondents and experts who are now in front of the camera and not behind the scenes. All this has made electronic media a much more powerful version of media as it has visual appeal and more convincing power. Live pictures can be very moving, turning the opinions of people much more easily than printed text. Electronic media, especially television, has been instrumental in taking not just information but also transforming the world of entertainment. With electronic media, we have 24 hours news channels beaming programs that are live. This means that one can get access to the latest breaking news anytime of the day and he need not wait till morning to know what happened last evening. Live telecast of events has made the world a small place to live in as people can enjoy sporting events being held thousands of kilometers away while being able to watch political summits and other important events. Who can forget the live images of Pentagon and World Trade Centre being attacked by terrorists on 9/11? Similarly, natural calamities are beamed right when they take place to all parts of the world making people aware of what is happening in remote corners of the world. What is the difference between Print Media and Electronic Media? • Print media is the earlier of the two types of media, and it ruled the scene for nearly a century • Print media is available at regular intervals, and it is not possible to get to the fresh edition when one desires while electronic media is available 24X7 and one can get access to breaking news in all parts of the world through live pictures • One can get to electronic forms of newspapers anytime of the day on their computers through internet • Print media thus has a presence online, and the thin dividing line between print and electronic media has become blurred

A re-visit to an old post that I had written for the Bloggers Premiere League contest hosted by Cafe Ginger Chai in 2010. This was actually published in an ezine that my team had specially created for the contest. And recently when I tried to visit the ezine again, I realized that the website had closed down. Hence thought of re posting the article here on my blog. Have been wondering, of late, about this very tussle between print media and electronic media.

Even though I am heavily dependent on electronic gadgets, like phone, laptop, TV,etc.- which have made my life far easier than before, yet there are some things or habits that i still find hard to let go of. For example, I heart my books, I still feel more comfortable jotting down my important to-do lists with a pen& paper THAN setting up a reminder on my phone or making notes in the iPad! I even tried downloading books onto the iPad, just to get a feel of the whole ereading that so many of my friends had been raving about, only to eventually, end up getting drawn back to the touch and smell of my printed books! I don’t know for how long this harmonious co-existence will stay. However all i can hope is that our children and theirs get to enjoy the benefits of both the media for the longest period of time. So when I see Namnam’s school giving her reading assignments or home-works for cursive writing at the same time giving importance to e-learning, it heartens me to know that there are institutions that are trying their best to blend both the media and let the children reap benefits through both. So which medium do you prefer? Do share your thoughts after reading the article below *************** History has shown that new media has never displaced old media. When movies came into being everyone thought radio will fizzle out. But it didnt. Then came TV. With the advent of television, people thought movies will dwindle. But they didnt. Instead the movie-makers found an opportunity in television to publicize about their films. Similarly with the growing emergence of electronic media a general perception among people is that print media is on its way out. But is it really the end of road for print media? Let me note down a few points that have often been raised to debate this very question. A frequent reason given for the electronic media’s growing popularity vis a vis print is its impact on the environment. Many feel the trend towards increasing use of electronic media can only bring enivironmental benefits. Producing newspapers and magazines involve felling trees, paper waste, printing, emission of sizeable amount of carbon dioxide which can be damaging to the environment. Having said that a possible downside of electronic media is that it has short memory-span. When one is watching television, he/she eats, chats on phone, plays, switches channels at a given time. So many a times its possible that what he/she is watching may not register in the mind. On the other side while reading a book or a newspaper one’s attention, more often than not stays uninterrupted. Which brings me to a point that gives electronic media an upperhand. And thats literacy. There are many many people, running in millions, in this world who are illiterate. For them, newspapers, magazines,books, brochures or any kind of printed medium is of zilch use because .

they cant read. Thats where media like television and radio score. They can watch and hear the news and other programmes and keep themselves updated and informed. Another argument given by many while comparing print media with electronic media is in regard with the reachability. Modern technology is still considered a luxury in the rural areas. Its often perceived as something enjoyed by relatively wealthy. Of course with mobile revolution that perception is going through a change. Nonetheless the electronic medium remains a concern given its unequal accessibility for the economically less-privileged. Some people love the physical feel of print media, the smell of paper, the tactile sense of touch, others love the immediacy of the electronic one. So what I’m trying to say is there really cant be a clear winner. Both sorts have their own following and one will not necessarily cause the other to die. Even amidst the Internet brouhaha, is a fact that magazine readership has risen in the past five years. Communication in any form is an ever evolving thing. A new medium doesnt necessarily replace an existing one. A well established medium will continue to prosper if it continues to give a unique experience.

Roles of ethics in tobboca industry and liquor industry:
A corporation is ethically bound to represent the interests of their shareholders and investors. Ethically, the board and executives are bound by those interests when they act on the corporation's behalf. If the corporation do something within the law to make a profit and doesn't do that, they are doing a disservice to their investors and shareholders. In the business world, it's considered unethical to put the common good ahead of the money and profits of your corporation. Seeing as how tobacco and liquor are legal (for some customers) there is nothing unethical about the corporation manufacturing those goods, selling those goods, or marketing those goods to people who can legally purchase them. It IS unethical to market tobacco in a manner that exposes them to legal liability (and risks losing lawsuits) or in a manner that is against the law (risking government sanctions). Since it is legal to lobby the government, as long as it is a favorable return on investment there is nothing unethical about the industry hiring individuals to push for laws that lower their restrictions or increase their profits. This is what people learn these days in business school - find every loophole and exploit it because not only is it not wrong, but it's your obligation to the company and investors. On a larger scale, it's your obligation to the nation and society since the more money companies make, the better the economy is doing, right? These are the Regan era trickle-down economic policies - the free market will sort everything else out because if it doesn't hurt your bottom line, it isn't bad.

Charismatic leadership theories and transformational leadership theories have added greatly to our understanding of effective leadership, they do not explicitly deal with the role of ethics and trust. Some scholars have argued that a consideration of ethics and trust is essential to complete the picture of effective leadership. Here we consider these two concepts under the fabric of authentic leadership. What is Authentic Leadership? The philosopher Jean Paul Sartre wrote a lot about authenticity, arguing that to be an authentic person, an individual needs to be honest with one self and avoid self deception. Although this might be good advice for anyone, it may be especially critical for leaders. Authentic leaders know who they are, know what they believe in and value and act on those values and beliefs openly and candidly. Their followers would consider them to be ethical people. The primary quality, therefore, produced by authentic leadership is trust. How does authentic leadership build trust? Authentic leaders share information, encourage open communication and stick to their ideals. The result: People come to have faith in authentic leaders. Because the concept is so recent, there hasn’t been a lot of research in authentic leadership. However, we believe it’s a promising way to think about ethics and trust in leadership because it discusses on the moral aspects of being a leader. Transformational or charismatic leaders can have a vision, and communicate it persuasively, but sometimes the vision is wrong (as in the case of Hitler) or the leader is more concerned with his own needs or pleasures, as in the case with business leaders Dennis Kozlowski liquior industry is ok but tobacco shoul b banned specially in india...... the vendors r putin d stalls outsid d skuls n colleges n children r getin addicted to it......... i think these people investin their money in tobacco should understand abt d effects of tobacco ..... n if they knw abt this then they may b addiced or they r bein forced to invest coz of high returns....... public is takin tobacco daily........... If 1 cigrete is costin 7 to 8 rs then in india more than 50 per cent of d indians r addiced to it so they must b earnin d most....plus they take more than 1 cigarete daily......... some people r just seein d money so they too invest....to get profits...... The people who knw abt d effects of tabcco n if they r investin they should be put BEHIND BARS(jail).............. Ethics is word ,one can twist any way.Business and Ethics are reciprocal and moral is never a factor there.The people wish to consume tobacco and liquor, let them enjoy, otherwise they will make illegally and and crimes may grow. i think this is a hypocracy by government and corporate world.usually these companies promotes sports events and sometimes corporate social responsibilities program.Soci economic development is not their motto at all, but excess profit they are bound to spend on image making

Today tobacco and liquor are even sold where it is restricted. young children are even edicts of tobacco and liquor. Government rules are only on paper but that is not enough. Government should make it compulsory to check illegal liquor and tobacco selling in any place of the country. If any policeman has not taken the correct action against illegal selling then that should be suspended. People should also awake and if police is not acting should act themselves to stop harm to the future of the country.

These are the Regan era trickle-down economic policies - the free market will sort everything else out because if it doesn't hurt your bottom line, it isn't bad. all health hazardous industries should be banned and other useful food crops should be cultivated instead of tobacco and other addictive plants. Instead of alcohol production grape wine and red wine intake of which in 80gm /fortnight is good for heart to be encouraged and there should be a monitoring system for limitation of individual intake of wine in every country. There also should be system to check use of alcohol products below 18 years of age. it should be monitored internationally by organisations like WHO

A corporation is ethically bound to represent the interests of their shareholders and investors. Ethically, the board and executives are bound by those interests when they act on the corporation's behalf. If the corporation do something within the law to make a profit and doesn't do that, they are doing a disservice to their investors and shareholders. In the business world, it's considered unethical to put the common good ahead of the money and profits of your corporation. Seeing as how tobacco and liquor are legal (for some customers) there is nothing unethical about the corporation manufacturing those goods, selling those goods, or marketing those goods to people who can legally purchase them. It IS unethical to market tobacco in a manner that exposes them to legal liability (and risks losing lawsuits) or in a manner that is against the law (risking government sanctions).

Since it is legal to lobby the government, as long as it is a favorable return on investment there is nothing unethical about the industry hiring individuals to push for laws that lower their restrictions or increase their profits. This is what people learn these days in business school - find every loophole and exploit it because not only is it not wrong, but it's your obligation to the company and investors. On a larger scale, it's your obligation to the nation and society since the more money companies make, the better the economy is doing, right?

Influence of Online Social Networks on our Youth – Group Discussion
Posted on July 19, 2013 by Deepesh Singh Today our Group Discussion topic was – “Influence of Online Social Networks on our Youth / Effect of Social Media on Students / Social Media: Good or bad / Social network Boon or Ban” I want to speak against Social Media. Social Media is completely wastage of time. We use to say that through social media we can get updates about our friends, from our surroundings and news from all around the world. Let me put one question. “Don’t you have digital newspaper? Is it necessary to see what you friends are updating every 5 second? Is it beneficial in any kind? ” I don’t think you will say Yes. People are becoming showbiz. They just want to show their social status and try to attract more and more people to like their pic and post. And we completely waste our time in reading and liking their post and pictures.

People spend more than 70% of their day in looking at people profile and reading tweets, if they stay at home and have internet connection. I have real life example. Till 1st year we did not have internet. So we used to spend our time chatting with friends. We used to gather outside our rooms in the balcony and everyone used to share their struggle to reach this college and something interesting about their life. But after 2nd year, we hardly visit anyone’s room. We don’t have time. If our neighbor friend has been visiting Thailand, we come to know through Facebook.com. So this kind of situation has come. Apart from this we can’t concentrate our mind on any work, if we are working on our pc and have internet. Our mind automatically forces to open and refresh Facebook page. It has become natural. Now Facebook is making their site more addictive by making it home page for mobile phones. Now people won’t have to open browser to see their friends update. They just need to slide the home screen of their phone. I am not saying that it is completely wastage of time but for students yes it is. There are many evidences where social media have proved its importance. But for student’s life I don’t see any. So if I am asked to give suggestion to solve this matter I would say that, “Facebook should not allow students to register. Minimum age should be 22, because till then we become graduated and devote time to this kind of thing”. After graduation people can make their profile then they can connect with their friends, as they may have relocated after college. And that could be more appropriate rather than a friend makes some update and his roommate likes the post. In my opinion through social media, the performance of students goes down. They could not concentrate on their studies. Surveys done by experts reveals that Social Media are now depressing the students and they don’t find social importance by their friends. Many people use to raise question, “How would we be touch with our school friends?” The

appropriate answer is that “If you become successful, they will themselves introduce to you. Don’t worry. You can have their email id. And after Facebook allows you to register, join them. Not a big issue as People you know is working fine. ” So at last I want to say that the age limit bar should be raised to 22. We should enjoy our college life with our friends. We should be in directly contact with them rather than through social media. We should gather together and share experiences and knowledge instead of liking other’s posts or pictures. Disclaimer: The above article is written by Deepesh Singh. This is my personal thoughts. I do not any any intention to disrespect anyone’s interest or to make anyone feel bad. Please do comment if you have any doubt or cross argument. I would like to discuss. Examination has killed its education:

Hi, Examination is one of the way of testing the knowledge of the student.Its completely depends upon the character of the student.Some of the students studied before oneday , and they will get good marks. but some of the student studied from the first, but they will get less marks compared the other students. If you studied from the first onwards we will gain the knowledge. But if we studied in proper manner we will get both knowledge and marks. So examination has not killed the education.

Examinations are a means of testing one's knowledge. However, the pattern of Examination must undergo a serious change in order to test the real intelligence of a student. Instead of yearly or semester wise examinations, students should be evaluated on the basis of their quick response to the discussions raised in classes. Weekly tests can be conducted to see if student is rely gaining knowledge from the class room studies. One may surely cram the syllabus one night before the final exams. In this way they may pass, they can never excel. For good results Students should have a clear vision. This is best evaluated on his daily performance.

Examinations are just to rank our knowledge. And I don't support the present education pattern or system. That is making the child brains so stressed that they are ending up mugging the notes. Education system should be in such a way that they should be motivating the little minds and help them grow stronger and bigger such that they will be able to able to face or solve any kind of problem in their future. They should not test only their writing skills but also their analytic skills, speaking skills and creative skills. Education should be in such a way that children should fall in love with their subjects and get ready and exited for their examinations instead of getting tensed. This can be solved by changing the pattern like including exams on general speeches right from the childhood, so that they develop their keen interest in the general knowledge and current affairs. We already have been through this old system of education. And hence we know all the Do's and Don'ts. So why not our generation take a step ahead in building the perfect bridge of education for the next generations? One thing the society and the administrators should understand always, that this earth keeps on revolving and rotating all through the year. But all its characteristics are changing every second. The why should we keep on following the old education methods when we know what care should be taken for our children to take them to great heights.

Hello friends, I totally agree there should be examinations to check one's knowledge. But in currently there are more theoretical exams than the practical exams, in order to improve the knowledge. It's better to put more practical exams than the theoretical exams. It should be in all the aspects I mean in sports cultural activities, discipline everything should be taken consider. The whole academic performance should consider and allot some marks for it. This type of education helps to develop a good character. In present days the students starts preparation 10 days before exams. For example, if a person got a good marks, means he is very talented. But, no one knows how he get the marks by mugging up or malpractice, or hard work or by any other means. Many students prepare the selected topic and will get a good marks. The students only prepare the selected topic, they should not prepare over all concept.

A person may be literate but not educated. In India our education system is killing the Education. Students attend a school or college more than 150 days a year but that will amount to only 20% in exams. Mugging up at the last moment and vomiting in the paper amounts to massive 80%. In India we produce software engineers who are to be trained for 1 year after the degree course, because they don't know a thing about the application of those 500+ lines codes they mugged up. Scholarships are based on marks not on capability to analyze, think, invent or benefit the society. And finally when exam bugs are on salary since they lack entrepreneurship qualities, they tend to complain about their unhappy lives as their career growth goes in depression. Please examine students on basis of their education they gained in school not on how much they scored in exams. We don't need all PhD's to build a nation. We need diversity in quality. Recognize a student's quality and polish it to be a county's asset.

Hello Friends, I fully agree that the school system needs a change. But maybe the exams aren't the full problem. Sure, the teachers only teach what's on the exam, but don't the kids that study hard do better? what I'm referring to here is the multiple activities that schools employ to get kids to come to school. From games, to fundraisers, to assemblies, these all take time out of the school day,

limiting the ability of teachers to fully teach their respective subjects. I also go to Bonneville high, and I am ashamed at how this school is run. Just this past week, we have had 2 assemblies, 5 games, and the teachers are already just reviewing everything that will be on the coming tests. The teachers outright refuse to hold a conversation about parts of a subject that aren't on the core tests. This is limiting me a lot, since they are giving everyone lots of computer assignments. I am so caught up trying to get all the online homework done, that I don't have enough time to research any subjects before I have to go to bed. I think that the schools should be teaching me everything I need to know in life, not making me sit in an auditorium watching popular kids walk around on a stage.

Hello friends, Examination is not a good way to test skills and knowledge of students because. Examination is not a good way to analyse students. It never shows the overall. Dedication, understanding and hard work of student. Their are many student who work hard day by day to understand each and every concepts of subjects but at the time of examination some student cover only selected topics and get good marks. So In my point of view their will be a process of analysing student day-by-day. A daily examination process should be their which will show daily understanding of a student.

From so many years we are following the same examination pattern to test the students. Every thing around us was changing day by day. But still we are judging a student based on his marks which he gets by writing some thing on a paper. The exams are not testing weather the has student has practical knowledge or not. Because if make an uneducated person mug up the same syllabus for 10 days he also writes the exams well and get good marks. It means the exams are not showing any difference between the students who writes the exam with concept and without concept. The examination system should be changed well to test the practical knowledge or the concept learnt by him.

Most of the time in schools students study just before the exams which is not advised but still exams keep students in touch with the syllabus. More over with out the theoretical knowledge students will never be ready for practical experiences.

Off course examination in education system has got some benefits, if exams will not be conducted, we will not be able to identify the students who are hard working and sincere. But too many exams in our curriculum prevents us from thinking out of the box, we get a syllabus and keep on mugging it to get better grades but is this what education is all about, what about the values which we talk about when we call India as incredible. Will this exams instill in us minimum value that makes us different from other creatures of God. Where, the race to get better marks, will take us.

Hello everyone, In-spite of saying that Examination is killing education, it will be better to say that EXAMINATION PATTERN is killing the education. Dear friends, our education system is old age system. There has been no change in it since long ago. Examination is the only way to judge the student that what they have learnt. Of course there are students who are self motivated to learn the things, they are passionate to gain the knowledge, but we have such students also they who study because of the fear of exams only. Friends we need to concentrate towards our examination pattern. In lieu of more and more written tests there should be more and more PRACTICAL and ORAL tests. Examiner should identify that in which field student is showing his more interest. He should be judged according to that only, so that student can perform exemplary in that particular field. Because every student can't excel in all the fields but of course he can be interested in one or two fields, so why not to judge him according to that only and to encourage them in their interesting fields where they will perform their best and explore their knowledge to world.

Examination is not killed the education but the Examination Procedure or Pattern is surely killed education. As my point of view without examination no one judge any person is expert in his/her field. As our Indian culture said the god takes test of the people if you pass in the test of god you surly won the world. Examination is the most important step to show your ability in his/her field. Our schools and colleges are more forces on only theoretical portion. In our college only theoretical marks are decide the final grade of mark sheet and not including the marks of the practical exam. So, the students have not any value of practicals, thus they all are poor in practical knowledge. So, the requirement of to change teaching and also examination pattern.

In other sense I mean that education is the only way which we can enhance by applying it into our practical life. Not by just learning the matter and vomiting it onto the papers during exam and later on forgetting everything!. Education is what that we can probably increase by learning slowly and gradually we shouldn't judge a person on behalf of his or her marks or grade we should recognize the ability of that particular person.

Hi guys, the irony is that even practical exams are conducted in theoretical manner, where we need to mug up the steps at the last moment and vomit the next day, whose vomiting exactly, what he/she took last night is provided with good grades and appreciation. Marks cannot determine one's ability. My opinion is that, the way of teaching must be changed. Someone here said, " teacher's are industry failures" its 100% true, am an engineering student, I did a robot at one stage we got struck up with the micro controller program and we sort one of our micro controller professor for help and the reply he gave was horrible, he said, " I don't know, first you get 90/100 in my subject then do all this silly things, its not gonna help you in getting job only marks will help you in getting jobs ". Yes I agree am not a topper, but I know the concept of most electronics and also did many projects, I cleared my micro processor and micro controller paper with the least grade but I did many projects with micro controllers, did that mean am incapable of being.

Yes of course examinations has killed the education. Now-a-days students are just mugging up the books only to get good marks in exams. They are not studying anything by understanding the things. But I am in favour of those students because they are doing so to get good marks in exams which all the schools and colleges need. In my opinion, the education system should be changed otherwise the students will keep on doing the same thing and I don't want it to be happen because I am also a student and I can understand the feeling of a student. The education system should be changed. One should recognize the student on the basis of her/his skills and talents and not by just looking at their report card having good marks. But there are some students who really knows and understand the things asked in the exams and write the answers of their own by just understanding the things and not by mugging up the books.

As my friends suggested that anyone can pass examinations by mugging up, I think this is not the fault of student as getting admission in good colleges require high percentage. But their is one alternative to solve this problem, I think that exam should be set in such a way that it cannot be passed by simply mugging up previous night like aptitude test which cannot be crammed.

In my opinion, I strongly recommend that the system of Continuous And Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) should be implemented as this will definitely puts an effort bringing a student's personality development. By learning the outcome of the method of examination, I remembered a thought - " Common sense is not so common " as it is emphasizing only to mug up the subject , whether understand or not, hardly matters. Over burden of work is in both the systems, but it only depend upon the student how he/she is performing. And from my analyzing, CCE is a better option as it will bring out the confidence and potential of the students with many projects, tools F.A.s and S.A.s. This will make the students to express themselves not only in writing, but verbaly also.

As per my opinion examination not totally but partially killed education, education is required for our mind's development which cannot be fulfilled by only mugging up our subjects. Nowadays student are just running behind marks and nobody bothers about learning the basic concept, in this cut throat competition scoring highest marks became more imp than gaining knowledge, examination is necessary for an individual to judge himself or herself but at the same time he or she should know the basic concepts and learn the subject.

Hi friends. I thought that examination has killed education. Any one can get marks in exams just by mugging without understanding basic concepts of the subject. Education nowadays goes only in exam point of view. Even the lecturers want the students to only study for exam and not to teach why they are learning that subject. If student have knowledge but he didn't get marks in exams, it will goes to suicide.

Hi Friends, In my opinion examination is a necessary part of education to separate some good students from average students. It's not fault of examination that students commits a suicide, it's their mental ability to handle stress because it's a part of life. I think it's a fault of teachers as they trained students how to get highest marks in exam not force to get understood the concept. It's so sad that a student who know's traffic rules but don't know how to cross the road. This is because out education system only concentrate on theory parts not on practical. That's why our students do not perform well in companies as compared to others.

Hi friends, in my opinion examination has not killed education on the contrary examination is a great opportunity for all the students to apply what they have learnt. This is because any type of exam at any level will always consist of important questions that will form the crux of the chapters

and by giving exams I got to practice these important concepts that will help in the future too. The word education in its Latin root means "to grow from inside" now examinations fulfills this criteria because:. 1. I got to do the hard work. 2. I learn time management. 3. I develop confidence. 4. At times when syllabus is more and time is less, the pressure is created and this is a fact that true potential of human beings explodes only when pressure is put on them etc. Those students who do not want to study will not study whether their are exams or not but with exams at least we can appreciate the hard work of genuine students.

Ya, I agree with you, the way of examination process is killing the education. To survive in the society we need to improve application oriented knowledge and practical knowledge. So overcome this problems we need to change procedure to give more preference for practical sessions, projects, seminars. By this way we can increase our practical knowledge and real time application development talent. So we need such a new process of examination that can certify the student or learner's knowledge.

Hi My dear viewers, Perhaps EDUCATION is the one thing to the human beings to survive in this complicated society. Coming to the present topic, in my perspective view examinations are most important things to know our talent. They are not killed the spirit of education. If we don't have proper way to know about ourselves, and our strengths and abilities we can't lead in this society. Examinations are the things to see ourselves. If we don't have exams, we don't and won't learn and at least we don't try how to grow up our personality. But now a days every one is becoming business, because of this thing cleaver people are suffered because they don't have the ability to buy education, and the people who has money they only study higher education. This is very horrible thing in our society. Thank you viewers for giving this golden opportunity to share my views. BE A NOBLE PERSON.

I think knowledge is more important. We get some of knowledge through examination. The examination should have different pattern so that student various way of learning. I think that examination judge our knowledge how much we did, hows our progress and all that. Because student going to think in all possible way he try to solve. World is practical all exams should be practically taken. Examination is all to judge, to compare, way to progress.

Hi friends I too agree with you guys, in my point of view examination plays a prominent role to calculate the efficiency of a student. The benefits/reasons to conduct an exam is.

@How far the student can understand that specific concept. @Improves his mind power. @Able to know the ability and efficiency of a student. But the thing what is the change we need is "the pattern of exam need to be change". Before that our education system need to change. "practical approach" is the good way to understand&learn any thing easily. But most probably our education system is in theoretical way which makes a student lack his interest on studies, to know about the concept&feels an exam as a typical task. But he wants to get a good score so that he starts mugging and write an exam. Finally what I am going to conclude is. IF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM FOLLOWS THE PRACTICAL APPROACH THEN EXAMINATION IS NOT A BIG TASK.

Examinations are not killing the education, but the pattern of some exams are killing it. Questions must in a way to make students think about it in order to write an answer. The weightage of practicals should be more than the theoretical subjects. Exams must include projects, assignments and presentations to judge the actual worth of a student.

Yes I agree with fact that today's examination system has killed education since our exam pattern is not practical oriented. Many of students just mug the answers of previous exams and score good marks but when it come to implementation they unable to perform. In most of colleges of India students get good marks in practical exams without do actual practical. I know it hard to believe but its fact. So I strongly believe that its not exams but the pattern of exams that has killed the education.

Our education system has become examination oriented and not the education imparting oriented at best. Every individual capacities to learn, memories the things and ability to grasp the knowledge is different to each other in this world. No human being is same in intellectual and emotional quotient. Our natural instinct towards the adopting a method of learning is different then how a common classroom filled with different level of understandings be taught by a single teacher in same way. Every child is unique and the quality of learning, leadership, memorizing the things, emotional quotient, intelligence quotient is unique to each other in this world. My point is that instead of making the education examination oriented it should made learning oriented. As every one is just running to get the 99% or more marks by memorizing/burning oil at full night, which is killing the nobel concept of imparting education. In our country where the legacy is of imparting the education the complete study of the individual wisdom, IQ, EQ, Memory, Physical strength, Vision, Leadership etc even in ancient times, Guru dronacharya imparted education to all the pandavas as par their different abilities to excel and not by their status or anything else. If it would have been the present system of our education which is only preparing us for final examination scoring then we should not have Arjuna.

Has Examinations killed Education?
By dhara on November 18, 2010 in Articles The original intent of education was to teach someone how to think clearly, so that they could continue to learn, to evalaute what they were shown, and to make their own decisions. I do not believe that is the goal of education in this country anymore.

Publicly funded education was started by the Prussians as a means of literally brainwashing their population into accepting whatever propaganda the nation chose to give them. The classes were designed, quite deliberately, so that at the close of the curriculum, the graduates would be “ideal citizens” who would serve the state without question or rebellion. There has to be some yardstick to judge a student caliber and examination is such a criteria. Otherwise it may kill many patients and advocate would didn’t know where he lags behind in his course. Its true and necessary now that the present day education system needs to be validated otherwise due to pressures and tortures many kids will commit suicide as with study there are many things. As they are small kids they should be even playing with studying as other curicular activities are also necessary, so the whole of education system need to be changed to make the society and kids more resourceful and enjoyable. Pressures to students will not make the society it will break the assets of our country. Truly speaking examinations are not killing the education but the system of examinations killng the education. Due to this it is very difficult to say that who are students and who are parents, because both students and parents are slogging and burning the midnight oil to pass in kg. In past years the scene was different parents even didnt knew when his child become a graduate , even there were no monthly,weakly and fortnight tests . only one test in a year. From this examinations RAMANS and TAGORES became NOBEL LAUREATES.

Gold: Best investment or a bursting bubble? - 3 Weeks Ago Hi everyone, Gold- A metal which all of us love. Even though we are fond of gold, not all of us can afford gold. Gold is apparently the most convenient type of investment. Even though the price of gold is always rising, there is a constant fear that someday this bubble might burst. We all invest with the hopes of gaining profit when we intend to sell the bought asset. Even though Gold could be considered as a valuable asset, many of us have this notion that we have to invest a lot to get a small measure of gold. Whether an investment is best or not totally depends on our resources. If we have ample of money, substantial amount of investment in gold could be considered practical.

Well, you know it's only recently that the price of gold has come down. Remember, this bull market has been going since 1999. You had gold at $265 or $270, and then it got up to $1,900, so we've had a normal bull market correction.

The last time we had a correction like this was in 2008, except it was a little bit bigger percentagewise. And then gold almost tripled. So markets are entitled to a correction. What's so amazing is how much bearishness has been created by this correction. You know, I can't read an article about gold now without seeing the word crash, bubble bursting, collapse. All the people that didn't see the stock-market bubble, that didn't see the real estate bubble, are convinced that gold's in a bubble and that's it already popped. Even though they never bought any gold themselves. I think gold is one of the few markets that's not in the bubble. It is a legitimate bull market. It is being driven by the most inflationary monetary policy the world has ever seen. Twenty-two central banks, right? Yeah, not just in America...all around the world. This bull market, unfortunately—because it's not a good thing that the price of gold is going up—but unfortunately it's going way up. I think maybe this might be similar to the big 50% correction that gold had in 1976, because it dropped from like $200 to $100, and then in four years it hit $850. I remember it well. The thing is, the US economy is in much worse shape now than it was in the late 1970s. And the Fed doesn't have the tools to control inflation, because the only reason that the gold market stopped rising in 1980 was because Ronald Regan came in and slashed marginal taxes and Paul Volcker raised interest rates to 20%. We're not going to do that. If anything, they're going to raise marginal tax rates-—they already have—and interest rates, we can't raise interest rates. We can't even afford 5% interest rates. We probably couldn't even afford 2%. That's how broke we are at this point. So the fed has to let inflation run out of control, because the cost of putting out the fire, at least politically, is too great. I think you've got a huge move coming. If you don't own any gold, take advantage of this pullback, and if you do own gold, buy more. And you know what looks incredible to me? The mining sector. I've never seen in all the years I've been an investment professional...I've never seen so much bearishness on one sector ever. Where would you play the mining sector in particular? Well, the safest way to do it is with the best blue-chip stocks, because at least you know that they've got the balance sheets and they've got the resources to not go bankrupt.

I mean, if you get into some of the juniors, if you timed it right, you can make a lot of money. But you have to be careful in this environment, because the price of mining gold has skyrocketed over the years. It's kind of ironic, because gold in a way is a victim of inflation. You would think gold would benefit from inflation, but because nobody believes there's inflation, gold is not priced where it should be. But the cost of mining has gone up dramatically. I mean, a lot of companies now, their cost of mining is $1,000 an ounce, $1,200. These are companies that were making money ten years ago when gold was at $300. They can't make it now unless it's higher, because of all the inflation that has brought up the cost of mining.

Gold: Best investment or a bursting bubble?

Gold- A metal which all of us love. Even though we are fond of gold, not all of us can afford gold. Gold is apparently the most convenient type of investment. Even though the price of gold is always rising, there is a constant fear that someday this bubble might burst. Best Investment: - From the past many years, the value of gold has only increased. - In case of need, we can sell gold anywhere, anytime. The value that we get is always the value of the metal on that day. - There are many schemes available for Gold that makes it an ideal investment. We can buy gold installments, take loans against it etc. - It is the simplest form of investment. You don’t need any paper work, duties etc. You can buy and sell gold in a jiffy. - Even if you don’t get the same price while selling as that of buying, you can easily use gold elsewhere. Bursting bubble: - Remember, gold cannot be considered as an asset in the true sense as it doesn’t necessarily create value and income over time. - The gold bubble has been building up for a long time now. The prices have been increasing and investors are sensing that it will burst someday.

- Considering the instability of the economy worldwide, this bubble can burst anytime. - The gold prices are more investor driven as compared to any specific economy attribute. We all invest with the hopes of gaining profit when we intend to sell the bought asset. Even though Gold could be considered as a valuable asset, many of us have this notion that we have to invest a lot to get a small measure of gold. Whether an investment is best or not totally depends on our resources. If we have ample of money, substantial amount of investment in gold could be considered practical.
