PROS AND CONS OF BEING A SHOPAHOLIC

On today's day, it is known that more young people are being addicted to the fact of spending or better said, wasting money on things that are not necessary.

On the one hand, contributing to the country's economy shows an advantatge when investing money. People who can afford buying expensive stuff are more likely to be shopaholics than a middle-class person. Unbelievely, some rich people are found to be spending/wasting money on things in order to change their bad emotions. In other words, going shopping can be a therapy against psychological problems as depression or loneliness.

However, on the other hand, the fact of giving away money to companies whose goals are nothing, is a morally wrong decision. Why investing money in economy when you can help helpless people who don't even have anything to eat, from the third world? It is not human survival our priority? So, instead of being mean and thinking about ourselves while buying unnecessary things, we should donate and contribute to companies who can supply food to hungary people.

To sum up, we should all stop our addition in wasting money on us and provide part of our money to people who really need it.

For and against essay: ARE REALITY SHOWS GOOD ENTERTAINMENT?

Nowadays, reality shows are a very popular form of entertainment. I'm sure you find reality shows on most channels. There are different types of reality shows.

Firstly, I think that these programmes are a lot of variety. Not everyone like the same type of program. Some people like music or dance shows, while others prefer programmes where people show their privacy. In fact, people show their talent and they can get a job for this opportunity. Moreover, people can get their dream. Another advantage is that the people meet new people and have new and interesting experiences.

However, if you compare reality shows with other programmes or movies, we can see that reality shows dominate. I believe that there should be more series, movies and documentaries as they interest us all. In spite of music shows, dance shows, etc that are good to discover your talent, the reality shows on the people who show their lives don't contribute to anything of interest at all.

To sum up, I think that reality shows are good entertainment for a little time but not to see a lot of time. It is a good distraction. Nevertheless, I think that there should be reality shows but not in so many channels and so many times a week.

A for and against essay: Death penalty

Nowadays, in many countries as the USA or Japan it is executed a penalty called Death punishment or Death penalty. It is a legal process whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. However, it is a very delicate and criticized topic by people. There are many disadvantages and some advantages to this penalty.

On the one hand, it is clear that there are strong arguments against this idea. Prisons have plenty of innocent people, one effect of this is that there are many people in prison who have been judged unfairly every year, without a hard evidence or false evidences, there are many kinds of cases. As a result of this, there are innocent people who have suffered the death penalty. Another argument against is that innocent people are sentenced to death with materially greater frequency than was previously supposed and that convincing proof of their innocence often does not emerge until long after their convictions.

On the other hand, the relatives of the victim feel that the murderer (or not) deserves to die, and suffer the penalty which painfully the victim suffered before. This means that the remuneration of the crime is the just punishment for the evil that has caused and is therefore proportional to the crime.             As consequently, people will live quieter without another criminal. In spite of this, would Penal servitude for life be a better alternative than the Death penalty for criminals?.

Personally, I believe that no one can kill another person, no matter what he or she did.  Because I think that if I kill a criminal I would become another criminal, and down to their level. In addition, executing the Death penalty kills also innocents that could have proved their innocence during their stay in prison without dying. But even if that person is guilty, death will not be the solution, while he is alive he will receive his punishment which could be life imprisonment as an alternative. I strongly believe that the lack of freedom is the only fair punishment for a guilty.  From my point of view, death penalty is murder by the government it violates the right to life. We ask justice for a murdered person killing another. It is utterly contradictory. To sump up, Capital punishment contradicts our moral beliefs and claims of a fair and just government.

A for and against essay

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of becoming vegetarian or vegan

Despite the fact that people every time is more conscious about the suffering of animals caused by humans, meat-eating people continue with their same habits. Furthermore, many people argue that they are not doing anything wrong. But luckily, there are a lot of vegetarian or vegan persons, and being one of them has both advantages and disadvantages.

On the plus side, a good vegetarian has better health than a meat-eating person. That’s because meat has lots of substances that harm our body, and also it takes more energy to digest meat than vegetables. Another important point is that it is not necessary to kill animals to feed us. If we were carnivores, we should have specialized claws and teeth like all carnivores. And if we were true omnivores, our digestive system could easily digest meat.

However, for every plus there is a minus. One disadvantage is that it is difficult to stop eating meat if you have been doing it your whole life. The adaptation is an important fact that not everyone passes, because social influence may affect our new decision. For instance, people can laugh at you or you can have uncomfortable meals. Last of all, some vegetarian or vegan people are not informed at all, so they should investigate and know well what to eat not to miss any nutrients in the diet.

To sum up, although most people think that being a meat-eating is the best option, I think that they should consider all the meat damages and the suffering produced in slaughterhouses.
