The mass media

The mass media, including television, radio, magazines and newspapers have made a big change in the world and our life. Also now it is one of the most important things in our daily life. From my point of view I think that the mass media have great influence in shaping people's ideas.

The first important reason is that some people start to do what the newspapers are saying; for example when people read about the number of car accidents and how the drivers are dead because of the high speed some of those will start to slow down while they drive and they will start to drive safely. Moreover if those people read about fashion from any newspaper or magazines they will start to dress from what they see. Also some mass media can play a very important part in our life; for example from newspapers we can know about the economy in the whole world from our home. So nowadays the mass media has a very important role in our life.

All in all, the mass media has a big part in our life and we have the right to believe what we read or not.

Education

Nowadays education is very important in our life. In many countries these days, the number of people continuing their education after school has increased, and that is true. Everyone knows that our life nowadays is not as before; the world has changed. In the past people used to live from trading, by buying and selling things, also they used to travel a lot, not as today. However most of the people now are thinking and starting studying in colleges or universities so they can use this weapon to develop their life by getting a good job and agreed salary.

First of all, there is an important thing which is the population of the country; if 70% of those people have got a high level of education will there be enough jobs for them? If yes, so this will not be a big problem. But if not, it is going to be a real big problem because it’s going to be a lot of unemployed and that’s not a good thing.

On the other hand, some countries have a good economy and the number of their population is not very big so it will not be a problem because they can use their education and find a job easily so this will be a good thing for their countries.

All in all, education is very important in our life. Everyone should continue their education to develop themselves and their countries.

Studying abroad

Nowadays many students dream to study abroad and meet lots of different people with different cultures. Moreover to study abroad will give those students experience of how they can live alone and how they can depend on themselves.

Studying abroad is not as easy as some students think. The student who travels and studies abroad for the first time may face many problems such as how they can organize their time. For example their sleeping time; like in their country they used to sleep at 9 pm but in that new country where they are going to study the time will be opposite, like it may be 9 am so it may be quite difficult. Moreover the cost of living in that country may not be the same compared to his mother country; it may be expensive so they have to be more careful while they are buying goods and the main important thing is to search and know how to use the new currency so in this way they can protect themselves and no one can think to cheat them. Also studying abroad can force those students to learn that country's language, learn more about their culture and their way of living.

Studying abroad needs a good plan for everything: where I am going to study, to live, type of food they have, currency and their finances.

All in all, studying abroad has many advantages and disadvantages; however with good plans and good research it can be easy and worthwhile to study abroad.
