Assignment 2

Buy, buy, buy!


The simple tragedy of waste is this: we are using up the earth’s
irreplaceable natural resources, creating unnecessary products and
packaging, in a mad rush for instantly gratifying consumption.
Out-of-date mobile phones, sound systems, even cars are piling up
in landfills all around the world. There was nothing wrong with the
old model, except for its lack of flash,.Why can’t we choose a
product that meets our needs and use it until it wears out? We have
been conditioned to have needs that change as frequently as the
seasons and satisfying these needs comes at a very high price, and
not just the one on the price tag!
You can do something
There are several simple ways in which you can act to halt the
madness of needless consumption. As an individual, change our
consumption habits to minimize your non-biodegradable waste and
optimise your use of reusable packaging. This will require some
sacrifices. As a member of a group, be active in drawing up a waste
charter for your place of work or school. Educate others. As a
consumer, punish companies that are wasteful and pollute by
boycotting their products. This, above all, requires awareness, and
the dedication to do your research.
Write your essay.

Assignment 1:
Shifting sands: behavioural change.
Nowadays, in some cultures there may often be confusion between
generations about what is acceptable behaviour in certain
situations. Older people sometimes complain, for example, about
the real or imagined rudeness of others, such as in the use of
electronic devices in public places. However, the younger
generation do not regard electronic communication as intrusive, but
rather as fundamental to their way of life. Only increased mutual
understanding is likely to resolve potential conflict or confusion in
any society. In this case, as in all others, it pays to be aware of other
people’s points of view.
Follow my leader?
Should we always aim to do what society expects of us? No, what
society needs is individuality. Worrying about what other people
think inhibits enthusiasm and creativity. Nothing new is ever
achieved by conforming to expected social norms. This is not only
true for society’s innovators: everybody needs a strong sense of
their own worth as an individual. This is essential for psychological
well-being and the ability to function effectively in one’s personal
and professional life. Paying too much attention to society’s
conventions can be counter-productive in these and other ways.
Write your essay.
Topic:
A magazine has been running a series of articles under the title
Pursuing a Dream in which successful people describe how they
achieved their ambitions and the risks they had to take to do so. The
magazine has now invited readers to contribute articles with the
same title and you decide to write one. Write your article, describing
an ambition you have or had, the risks that you had to take or would
have to take in order to achieve it and your attitude to taking risks in
general.
Write your article.
