Nowadays there is a lot of critisism about globalization. The question is should countries isolate themselves or instead engage other countries?
In my opinion countries should still engage eachother, because there are several benefits.
One major point is the exchange of resources, because a lot of countries only have a specific good they can exchange. But when the countries can trade with eachother ther ewill always be a benefit for both of them. For example china delivers cheap eletronic devices to europe whereas europe ships milk products to china.
Another advantage is the cultral exchange. As a result we are able to learn from eachother. For instance i personal had a lot of conversations with chinese students while learning chinese. I was able to explain and describe a lot of aspects of our culture, as a result i expierenced a lot about their culture in return.
Finally the cooperation between countries enables us to travel to coutnries in a far distance.One reason is the the dissolvement of poltical boundries. A freind of mine for eaxmple opriginates from vietnam. She is able to visit her aunts and uncles without having dificulties while entering vietnam or germany.
In conclusion there are a lot of positive aspects for engaging other countries especially for the citiziens., but also for economic reasons. Isolation tends to reduce your possiblities you would have if you trade and exchange with a other party or in this context a country.

As the fees for universities all over the world rise and education is getting more expensive there is the question, should it not be possible to provide university education free of charge for all interested scholars?
In my opinion free education is not only possible but should be standard. There are several reasons to support this view.
The first major aspect is, that providing free education enables all students to study regardless of the income of their parents. For example in Germany there are a lot of states where universities do not have any fees at all. As a disadvantage you may have larger lecture rooms with more students, but being able to educate as much people as there are willing to learn is more important to educate only those who's parents are well off.
Another positive aspect about providing free education is the better quality of the studies. For example if you have to bare in mind, that you have to earn enough money to be able to study, you cant concentrate fully at you courses and exams.
Lastly there is also a benefit for the country itself which provides free education, because providing free education enlarges the numbers of own and foreign students finishing their studies in your country and as a result your industry will receive more qualified workers. Especially countries with few or no special resources like Germany relay heavily on the quality of their workers, because they can only provide services.
In conclusion there are a lot of advantages for providing free university education, especially for countries of the industry states and for countries with few resources. Raising the fees for education will lead to less qualified people and in the end to bad performance in companies.

Compare & discuss which form of knowledge is more important.
Trough books or trough experience?
Nowadays people study at universities for a long time in order to be high skill on the later job. But the question is, would it be better if you learn more by experience and not only by books and lectures?
In my opinion learning trough experience is more important than studying from books. There are several aspects to consider.
One major aspect is the ability to experience things that are not in the books or in detailed described. For example, you may read a book about how to learn to swim, but actually to really learn swimming you have to do it on your own. As such the experience you have in contrast to reading a book will help you to better adapt to your surroundings and learn in a different way.
Another point for learning by experience is the possibility to learn aspects that are far more sophisticated in theory as on learning by your own. Because if you want to paint a picture and want to mix colors, you either have to learn the complex rules of color mixing, the additive and substitutive mixing. Or you can learn it by your own experience which will be much easier.
The last important positive fact about learning by experience is the ability of help. You also can receive help while studying from a book, for example from your lecturer, but the most efficient way of helping you is when you learn by experience. Another persons may show you how to swim or how to drive a bike.
In conclusion there are a lot of different advantages while learning by experience. Studying from books is also possible but its more like a substitute for learning directly from a person.

In my opinion younger people enjoy life more than older people.
There are several reasons to support this.
The first major point is beeing young enables you to do more demanding activities which benefit in a better life experience. Because when you are younger you will be able to perform more challanging tasks, for example climbing a mountain. As an older person you sometimes lack the ability to do the whole range of possiblities you have as a yougner person.
Secondly being healthier than older people makes you less concern about ilnesses and other diseases. For example doing more sport makes you more resistable in contrast to older people. But also your mindest is not as concerned about your health as it will be later on.
Another positive aspect to enjoy life, is the different mindest of younger people. They tend to experiment and try out more new things than people in a high age. For example you would take more risks and try out new paths if you are hiking.
As a conclusion beeing young helps you to enjoy life more easily than older people do. Not seldom older people refer to there youth as the better time in life.

Should governments invest more money into rebuilding streets & highways or more on public transport (e.g. subways, buses etc.).
Nowadays the budget of the government is often limited and there needs to be a decision whether to invest in one or another project.
If you have to get to work on a daily basis you will recognize the bad condition of highways and other streets. The question is, would you rather spend the limited budget on highways or public transport?
In my opinion there are several reasons for spending the money on the public transport.
First of all, a investment in public transport will benefit more people as people using the highways. Not only the main population lives in or nearby large cities the percentage of affected people is higher, but also the usage of transportation is different. If you live in a bigger city like myself, you will be mobile mainly through using the bus or the underground. Taking a car especially during the rush-hour could be a very bad idea.
Another reason for improving the public transport, is the more environmental friendly usage of energy. Especially during the last months concerning the nuclear debate in Germany it is even more important to lower our energy expenses.
Finally the highways in our country are still good enough and better than many roads in other countries. As i visited Finland last summer, i recognized that only the highways are solid roads. Whenever you leave the main road, you will find yourself on a unpaved road. Compared to the condition there our infrastructure is ways ahead.
In conclusion there are several reasons to invest the limited budget in the public transport instead of improving the bad condition of some roads. Especially as the number of people benefiting will be a lot higher and the nature will have a benefit as well.

What do you like more, eating at home or in restaurants?
I personally favor eating at restaurants. There are several reasons for doing so.
Firstly, eating at restaurants gives you the ability to eat a variety of different meals.
For example if you go to a Italian restaurant you can choose between a lot of different pizza and pasta.
Secondly in most cases eating at a real restaurant, you will have the ability to eat better than making the same meal at home. For example cooking a meal you did not cook before will not be as good as from the resturant.
Lastly you also will have the ability to eat something unfamiliar you never ate before. If you are on vacation in a different country you could try different meals you did not know before.
In conclusion there are several positive aspects of eating in a restaurant instead of cooking at home. Especially if you are on vocation and want to try out different meals.

In my opinion there are several reasons why people visit museums if they visit a new city.
The first reasons is, that every bigger town has museum and as a result you do not have to think about where to go first. For example if you would visit Berlin you will first think about which places to visit and will select probably a museum near your place.
Another aspect is learning something about the history of the place. Because if you are in a unfamiliar place, you like to get to know the history and traditions for example.
Further visiting museums always leads to new knowledge. Very often you read something new, not only specific for the place itself but also in general. This particular knowledge helps you to improve understanding the surroundings of this place.
In conclusion visiting a museum does have a lot of positive aspects and if you have the time just choose a museum which sounds interesting, there always will be a benefit for you.

Should students be required to attend class?
In my opinion students should not be required to attend class.
There are several reasons to support this.
The first major reason for letting the students deside wether to go to university is to develop self-dependent. For example this is crucial as a requirement for your job later.
Another positive aspect for not requireing students to attend university classes is the space gain, because if everbody has to attend, class rooms will always be full.
As the students do not have to attend, it is more easy for them if they are prevented for any reason.
Because you are also more flexible with your dates and it is possible to rewatch the lecture online.
To sum it up, attending university as optional is the best way to have a healthy attendence of the students, with benefits on bide sites.

If i would be able to change a few things in my hometown i would change some specific aspects.
One major point would be the infrastructure. At the moment you will need over one hour to reach the motorway.
Also you need over 30 Minutes to get 30kmk far. If the infrastructure would be improve, the quality of living would also benefti.
Another important aspects and as a result of a better infrastructure is the improvement and creation of jobs. Because the city is on the countryside, the must be benefits for comapnies to come or stay in the area.
THe last point would be to improve the activities which take place in the city. For example the current activties only support older people whereas younger poeple have a deficit. To improve the situation there should be activites and possibillities which conrectrate especially on younger persons.

In my Opinion games are as important for adults as they are for children.
There are several reasons to support this.
One major reason for the importance of games is the presence of a lot of games who are played by adults. For example there are a lot of games which are designed especially for adults and have quite a sophisticated gameplay.
Additionally games in a group are mostly very enlightening. For myself evenings playing board games with friend are always humorous because of the conversations during the games.
As a last aspect the importance of games is the ability to socialize with others. This will help you especially on your job. For example the behavior you have towards others during a game, you also will have when your at work with colleagues.
In conclusion playing games not only benefits you while being a child, but also later as an adult. If you have persons around you who find it childish playing boardgames you actually should not care about it and just enjoy playing your games.

Teachers should be paid on how much their students learn.
Nowadays teachers in Germany are not paid as well as 20 years ago.
The question is, should teachers be paid on how much their students learn?
In my opinion there are several reasons to support this.
One major aspect is the motivation of the teachers. Because when teacher get only paid for their successful work, they will encourage more. For example in belgium teachers get rated by their students every year.
Another advantage is the improved learning of the students. As teachers are more motivated to teach their students, they will benefit from a better lecture or course. If you compare your different teachers you had in school you will see a connection between how motivated the teacher was and how much you learned form him.
Further this will also help to get rid of the so called black sheeps. Because if a teacher is not motivated enough and it does not concern him, if his students learn enough, he will recieve much less money and as a result he either has to improve or change his job.
In conclusion there are a lot of benefits for paying teacher only for what they teacher their students. Not only it improves the knowledge of the students but also helps to improve the quality of the general education.

Nowadays people do not work for a longer period of time at one company.
Most people do not even work their for longer than 10 years.
But should companies hire people for their entire lifes?
In my Opinion people should not be hired this long, because there are many reasons against it.
The first reason relates to the social surroundings. If you to get along with your coworkers or bosses for your entire life and the relationship is not as good as it should be you will have a very unpleasing work atmosphere and you will not be motivated for work.
Another reason is the possibility for learning and improving yourself. If you work only at one company, you will not see different subjects and will not have to learn new aspects. This is also important for not doing the same work over and over again.
The last major point is the freedom of choice. Because if you limit a person in their ability to choose something different after a while, you maybe will have a very unsatisfied worker who does not work in favor of you company goal but only for getting the work done.
In conclusion limiting a worker to work at a company for his entire life is not a very practical goal and therefore companies should not enforce people to work on one place.

It is more important for students to study history and literature than it is for them to study science and mathematics.
In my opinion it is more important to study science and mathematics than it is to study history and literature. Eventhough study history and literature is important it is not the most important topic you learn in class.
The first point is the importance of mathematics and science in your daily life. For example you need to know how electricity works. If you do not, you will put yourself under risk when working with electrical devices.
Another reason for the importance of mathematics is your job in the future.
For example if you want to work as an accountant, you will need to calculate a lot. Without a comprehensive knowledge this would not be possible.
Finally the knowledge of science and mathematics helps to improve our daily life.
For instance you want to create a solar car. If you do not have any further information about creating electricity from the sun and how to build a lightweight casis for the car you will not succeed.
In conclusion there are a lot of reasons for the importance of science and mathematics.
It not only influences our daily life but also our job and the future. History and literature also plays a important part of education, however the priority in class should not be as high as for mathematics and science.

In my opinion physical exercises should be a part of the daily routine at school.
It does not only have positive aspect regarding your body but also for you mind.
The first reason for daily exercises is the healthy influence for you body.
If you train on a daily basis you will soon develop a better fitness and stamina as your body gets used to the activity.
Another positive result will be the possibility to release stress.
Nowadays you have to learn a lot in a shorter time and as a result you will be more stressed, which can be prevented in releasing you stress in sport activities.
But doing daily exercises not only helps you to get physicily in shape and to eliminate stress it also helps you to build self confidence.
When working out a mixture of hormones are emitted which not only dissolves stress but also gives you a boost for you self confidence.
In conclusion a daily physical exercise not only helps you to keep your body healthy but also gives you the possibility to release stress and build self confidence.
As a result of the increased pressure on nowadays students sport on a daily basis would improve themselves and should be a general rule at school.

Is it more important to be able to work with a group of people on a team or to work independently. Whom would you choose, using specific reasons and examples.
(31)
In my opinion it is important to be able to work in a team, because in a group you benefit from major advantages. There are several reason points you have to consider.
The first point for working in a team, is the ability to work faster. For example you have a project with different subtasks. If every person in the group is assigned to a specific task you are able to split the work and get the tasks done in parallel.
Another advantage is the possibility to have a large base of knowledge, which will give you more experience and information to get the job done. Every person has a different background and as a result everybody knows additional information.
The group itself also ensures that the quality of the result is better than from a single person. This is the result of different people reflecting and inspecting ideas from a different person.
Every person is able to contribute with their comments.
As a conclusion working in a team can not only be faster than working on a task alone, but it also can improve the quality of the task. Through the usage of a wide knowledge base and the contribution of every member of the team its ensured you will gain a better result.

What is an important skill a person should learn in order to be successful in the world today? Choose one skill and use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.
In my opinion networking is one of the major skills a person should learn in order to be successful today. Networking gives you the opportunities you need to be successful either in business or your social environment.
One reason which underlines the importance of networking, is the ability to be more efficient with your tasks at your job. For example you don't have to ask for the responsible person for a specific task. You'll know exactly whom to ask and as he already knows you, helps you or changes the priority of your work.
Besides helping you at your job, networking also has the ability to improve your social relations.
It is possible to use your network for support when ever you need it. You can use it to retrieve help or to get in touch with foreign people.
The last, but most significant point for networking as the most important skill you should learn is the ability to boost your career. As you use networking not only in your business part of your live, but also on the social, you'll be able to get in touch with the people who have the ability to support your career regards recommendations for promotions or even creating a job especially for you.
In conclusion there are many benefits for learning how to network and be able to succeed not only in your private live but also in you job.
