Difference in classes of rich and poor

Some people think that in order to produce a happy society, it is necessary to ensure that there is only a small difference between the earnings of the richest and poorest. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some pupils believe that a considerable difference between the income of the rich class and the poor people is one of the reasons for an unhappy society. This essay will show that the aforementioned opinion holds owing to the reason that a huge difference between the standards of rich a poor creates a feeling of jealousy.

Admittedly, a huge difference between the lifestyle of the so-called elite with the underprivileged can trigger a feeling of jealousy among the underprivileged, especially if they live in the same neighborhood. Consequently, a high crime rate can be expected that includes robbery, murder, and rape etc. This causes a divide within a society, leading to an unhappy society where the two see each other as enemies. For example, in major cities like Peshawar and Islamabad etc., crimes like mobile snatching and car lifting have become very common, and very little resistance can cause the culprit to shoot the victims on the spot, which in most cases leads to the death of the victim. This shows the extreme hatred towards the victim, supposedly from the rich class.   

Alternately, when there is little difference between the earnings of the rich and the impoverished, the crime rate is most likely low as there is no resentment. Moreover, in a society with normalized wages, people will be more motivated to pursue their dream job instead of a high-paid job. Resultantly, we will be able to achieve a happy community. For instance, in countries like Japan, a cab driver is paid more or less the same as an engineer. Since both are paid the same salaries, no feeling of resentment exists between the two. 

To conclude, a prosperous society is one where little difference exists in life-style and earnings of the rich and poor, therefore, such measured must be ensured.

Task 2 essay

The manufacturing and use of cars damages the environment but their popularity is increasing. Why is this happening? How could this be controlled? Excessive usage of cars has a detrimental effect on our environment. Yet, more cars are being manufactured nowadays than before. The reason behind the usage of personal cars is affordability and accessibility. This can be controlled by increasing tariffs on personal vehicles. Another possible solution is investing in hybrid or electric cars.  Owing to mass production, buying a car is now financially feasible. Moreover, the annual growth in GDP has increased the buying capacity of an individual. In addition to that, the accessibility of personal vehicles to almost everywhere has enabled people to be willing to invest in buying cars. Hence, a personal car is preferred as compared to local transport that is time-consuming.  Introducing high tariffs on the purchase and parking of personal vehicles is a possible solution. Moreover, the a...

1. Many companies sponsor sports as a way of advertising themselves. Some people think this is good for the world of sport, while others think it is negative. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

  Some people oppose this idea because these events are then seen as a medium to earn more money. Others, myself included, think it is beneficial to the society of sports, as funding is made possible through these companies.  Many people see the sponsoring companies as a detrimental cause to the sporting society. As the primary purpose of these agencies is the publicity of these sporting events, few care about the essence of sportsmanship that is required. As a result, a sportsman sees himself as an employee of the firm that is being advertised. This affects his performance because he sees the whole event as a business deal with the corporate world.  Others hold the opposite opinion, arguing that these sports events are made possible through companies being advertised in return. I myself hold the same opinion. As Major funds are being provided by these firms, therefore, the possibility of an event depends entirely on the availability of these sponsors. For instance, the S...

Task 2

  It is better for children if the whole family including aunts, uncles, and grandparents are involved in a child’s upbringing, rather than just their parents. To what extent do you agree or disagree? It is commonly believed that extended family, including aunts and uncles, and grandparents etc. should take part in child-rearing in addition to a child's parents. I fully agree with this statement, and this essay will show that raising a kid, which is a difficult job for many reasons, requires involvement of the entire family.  Different family members have their own distinct roles to play when it comes to raising a child, as they all have different personalities. For example, an aunt or an uncle can be someone a child feels more comfortable with when it comes to sharing problems. Similarly, grandparents can offer the kindness a kid needs sometimes. This will give the parents room to be strict with their children when they misbehave. Thus a balance is created in nurturing the...
