The world has become globalized and in this new era, where boundaries have become blurred it is often seen that people in search of better opportunities are shifting their base to developed countries. This shift, especially of professionals such as teachers and doctors is having an adverse effect on the economies of poor countries.

The biggest problem because of the brain drain is that there is a shortage of skilled workers in a country, often effecting the industries and other sectors. For instance, if the most effective doctors of a country leave the country for better opportunities in abroad, it is obvious that the country is more likely to face shortage of good doctors and its public health services will falling behind. One way of solving the problem is by giving the highly skilled workers more salary or incentives to make them feel different from others. This will also develop an environment where the more talented will feel they are respected in the country.

Another issue rising because of brain drain is that it increases dependence on foreign technical assistance. Since the talented individuals are turning towards developed countries, often the country lags behind in technical areas and has to spend money asking for assistance from the developed countries. One solution of it could be that the country should limit the number of years a person can work in a foreign country. This will help the people to earn money and the country will still have hope of getting back the worker.

Overall, the immigration of highly talented people from a poor country is a setback for the country. However, if proper steps are taken it can surely be avoided.

In many countries, people are moving from rural areas to urban areas.

What are the reasons for this?

What problems can this cause?

Travelling has always been an integral part of our lives since ages and people often travelled from one place to another in search of food, livelihood or just to explore other places. However, in recent times, the shift of people from the rural to the urban places has dramatically increased, causing some issues in the urban and rural areas.

The main reason for urbanization is the desire of getting better job and salary. Jobs in rural areas usually require a lot of physical effort, with lesser salary as compared to the urban jobs which are less tiring. For instance, a farmer in India works day in and day out but often earns less than a IT professional working part time. Even more, there is a risk of crop failure, leaving them broke.

Another reason for the shift is that people in rural areas are often attracted to the luxuries of urban world. People living in urban areas are aware of technologies that make lives easier, however those living in rural areas tend to lead a simple life. Even more, there are better education opportunities in cities, causing people to make living in cities.

The main problem caused by this is the increasing density of city. With more and more people shifting towards cities, often the city is not able to provide them accommodation or job. As a result, people are forced to live in damped areas and take up job worse than they were doing in rural areas. Even more, it causes increased traffic and often increased level of crimes. Example, people often move in cities, but with lack of job they take up the path of crime.

Overall, although cities provide great opportunities for people moving in there, in my opinion it is better to move in if there are options for available. An unplanned shift often causes problems both for the people and the city.

Many young children have unsupervised access to the internet and are using the internet to socialise with others.

What problems do children face when going online without parental supervision?

How can these problems be solved?

Write at least 250 words.

21^st century is marked by the internet revolution and with coming of personal computers, kids often gravitate to them to play games, watch videos, interact socially and learn from educational websites. However, allowing your kids to access internet without any parental supervision opens them to potential risk.

One of the biggest problem facing children all across the world with unsupervised access is that they might share information with people they shouldn’t. The risk associated with sharing personal information includes revealing identifiable information that could provide criminals with the child’s location or children can share their parent’s financial information online, like the credit card number. To solve this problem, parents and teachers need to come together to aware children about the possible risks of sharing information and teach them the nitty gritty of online interaction.

Another issue is the exposure of the child to cyber bullying. Cyber bullying involves online harassment and it might occur in chat rooms, on social media websites and through email or text messages. With unsupervised access your child might either become the bully or the victim. This kind of bully is slowly gaining momentum and recent cases of suicides have left people shocked. The problem could be addressed by parents taking care of what the child is doing in internet. The communication between parents and the child must be friendly enough that the child can tell his/her parents of the issues she/he is facing.

To sum up, although it is clear that unsupervised access causes some major issues, it is undoubtedly possible to start to tackle these issues and use the internet in a more positive manner. Parents and teachers must take the lead in dealing with this problem, otherwise a whole lot of young lives will get disturbed.

The environmental issue has become a sever problem with all natural resources getting polluted. However, with adept and practical steps, one can surely overcome the problem.

Firstly, the government or the city authority must release some environmental policies to ensure good quality of water.

Even more, strict actions to those who  don’t adhere to this, must be taken.

Besides, water, air has also shown some grave issues. In developing countries, the quality of air has decreased dramatically  with industrialization. This has not only affected the flora and fauna, but also humans.

Overall, preserving air and water are our primary responsibility and we need to join hands with the government to make sure that the quality of living improves in developing countries.
