Counter - argument
Granted, one might argue that phones should not be allowed in public areas because
the use of this device could annoy other people. A good example is that the sound of
someone talking on the phone or their notifications could distract people who are
trying to study in a library. However, this problem could be resolved without
prohibiting the use of phones completely in public spaces. A straightforward measure
would be to ask people to switch off the ringtones, turn on the vibration mode and
answer their phone call elsewhere to avoid annoying other people. (9-9-9-9)
Counter - argument
Granted, one might argue that there should be a ban on dangerous sports. This is
based on the assumption that any errors would probably cause the death of the
player, for example when he or she is skydiving or parkouring on the rooftop of
towering buildings. However, this line of reasoning is not sound because it fails to
factor in the plausibility of enforcing such a ban. No police officer would be willing
to risk their lives trying to prevent or arrest people who are parachuting off a
mountain cliff or free-falling from an airplane.
Counter-argument
First, homeschooling is often believed to be economical because parents would not

have to pay expensive tuition fees. However, it is important to note that this
educational approach does not actually save money in reality. This is because parents
would need to pay a large amount of money for lap equipment, and one parent would
need to stay at home to cater for their child’s needs, be these academic or personal.
Moreover, it is often the case that parents are not well-versed in all school subjects,
so there are further costs incurred for hiring specialist tutors.

To begin with, the key reason for private-owned companies, especially

pharmaceutical ones, to subsidize medical research is that they directly benefits from
this. For example, if their findings lead to cures for certain diseases, they will
certainly reap financial rewards and boost their reputation. This can be seen in the
case of Johnson and Johnson, a large pharmaceutical firm in the US. This company
has successfully created a vaccine for Covid 19 and its stock has increased
exponentially.

Admittedly, one’s nature does contribute significantly to one’s criminality level. For
example, due to genes or a chemical imbalance in their brain, some small children
(from two to three years old), who are arguably not affected much by environmental
factors, show very low levels of empathy. Thus, they hurt small animals or other
children without any remorse. Evidence shows that these children could be much
more likely to commit crime than normal kids, if left unchecked. In fact,
criminologist have found that a large proportion of violent offenders and murderers
have displayed such psychopathic behaviours when they were very young.

Of course, some museums and art shows justifiably pay more attention to presenting
artifacts, relics and works of art of their own nation. This approach attracts overseas
visitors who are curious about an alien culture, and allows local visitors to learn
about their country. A good example is that of the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology,
which annually receives millions of both foreign and local visits. Most visitors gave
positive feedback regarding the organization of the institution - each area solely
shows the culture of each ethnic minority group in Vietnam. Thus, this theme can
promote the culture of the country to overseas friends, while instilling national
identity in domestic visitors.

On the one hand, the provision of new technology could surely enhance people’s
quality of life in poor countries. For example, with the adoption of advanced farming
techniques, crop yields would significantly increase. This can be seen in the southern
parts of Vietnam, where farmers used to harvest crops by hand, and suffer from
drought and pests. After the adoption of more advanced technologies like pesticides,
effective irrigation systems and machinery, they were liberated and began to enjoy
the abundance of food supplies. Certainly, had it not been for new technologies,
Vietnamese farmers would have struggled to improve their quality of life.

Admittedly, due to technological advancement, a large number of products are only

made for wealthy. For example, the latest model of an iPhone, which often boasts
innovative features and a stylish design, costs shy of $2000, which is possibly
equivalent to numerous people’s yearly income. Similarly, advancements in space
technology have allowed people to travel into space, but such a trip would cost over
$200.000. This is surely unaffordable for the vast majority of the human population.
These examples bear witness to how many items are specifically not created to serve
people in low-income brackets.

Two main problems can arise from the acceleration of the depletion of natural
resources. Firstly, the environment will be adversely affected. Take, for example,
forests, which can absorb carbon dioxide, produce oxygen and stabilize the earth.
Deforestation is disrupting this vital system, and this, coupled with the increasing
levels of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels is accelerating the process of
climate change. As well as this, drinking water is being steadily lost due to the fact
that most companies do not treat their waste properly before discharging it into rivers
and the ocean, contaminating water sources. This spells disaster for the lives of all
plants and animals on earth and human alike.
Multiple ideas
Admittedly, the drawbacks of remote working and learning are evident. Firstly,
teleworkers are more susceptible to psychological problems such as boredom and
depression, due to the lack of face-to-face interaction. Furthermore, adults who opt
for working from home for childcare or eldercare reasons tend to find it hard to
concentrate on their work, hence lower productivity. Similar challenges are also
found in internet-based learning. There is inevitably less direct interaction between
students and students and students and teachers. These factors may negatively affect
students’ motivation to study and their understanding of their lesson, arguably
leading to lower academic results.

Reasons for the shift away from science subjects among students vary from country
to country. In developed nations, science has already been prioritized for over a
century, which has evidently produced an abundance of people working in this field.
This surplus renders this domain fiercely competitive, thereby discouraging
youngsters from choosing it. On the other hand, in underdeveloped and developing
nations, it would arguably be wiser for government to invest in the tourism sector,
which yields immediate results. The development of this industry has attracted a
large proportion of young people, which clearly explains the dearth of students
majoring in Science in these countries.
Multiple ideas
Three main factors are to blame for the increasing waste production worldwide.
Firstly, the pervasive presence of advertising can create a growing demand for
consumer goods, and as a result greater amount of waste will be produced through
production and consumption of goods. To make matter worse, more plastic bags and
containers are being used more than ever because of the arrival of food delivery
services. Finally, the next possible contributor to our planet being strewn with waste
is the low rates of recycling. In most countries, many manufacturers gravitate
towards virgin material, which are often cheaper than recyclable ones, in the course
of production.
