tosmoking 477words 9 In any field of endeavor it is impossible to make a significant contribution without first being strongly influenced by past achievements within that field Write aresponse in which youdiscuss theextent towhich youagree ordisagree with the statementand explainyour reasoningfor theposition youtake In developingand supportingyour position you shouldconsider waysin whichthe statement might ormight nothold trueand explainhow theseconsiderations shapeyour position Today due to the increasingreliance onabstruse technologiesit is more difficultthan everto contributetoa field without being strongly influenced by past achievements However it stillremains possibleto inventnew fieldsas well as shrugoff influencetore invent previouslyexisting fields Equally possibleare contributionsfrom amateurs Therefore I disagree with the statement that in anyfield ofendeavor it isimpossible to make a significant contributionwithout firstbeing strongly influenced by past achievements withinthat field Firstly the statementcannot be true becausenew fields ofendeavorare regularlyinvented Because in new fieldsno past achievements existto exertinfluence it isimpossible for the firstcontributions to these fieldsto beinfluenced bypastachievements Modern examplesof newfields ofendeavor includespace explorationand Intertechnology Upon thecreation ofeach of these fields neither onewas susceptibleto influencefrom pastachievements in the fieldbecause nosuch achievementexisted Therefore a significantcontribution canbe madewithoutfirstbeingstronglyinfluencedbypastachievementsin newfields ofendeavor Secondly it is often possiblefor significant contributions to be madetoafield whileonly beingsomewhat influencedbypastachievements withinthat field An excellentexample isFrench artistClaude Moand hiswork in the developmentof theImpressionist style While it is truethat Mo was influencedby theachievements ofprevious painters it canbe arguedthat influenceon Mowas negligiblebecause helargely ignoredprevious conventionsin order to developImpressionism Hence Mowasable to makeasignificantcontribution to paintingwithout beingstronglyinfluencedbypastachievements Furthermore it is also possiblefor amateursto stumbleupon significantcontributions withouthaving knowledgeof priorachievements within the field The fieldsof palaeotonlogyand archaeology for example are brimmingwith examplesof amateurswho havemade outstandingcontributions withoutany influenceof priorachievements Unlike otherfieldsofscience whereexpensive equipmentis requiredtomakeadvances palaeontological andarchaeological specimensare scatteredthroughout the world infields andbackyards whereanyone canfind them Thus historicallyfarmers andhikers have been nearlyas suessfulas professionalsin makingsignificantcontributionsin these fields In lightof thesecontributions it isobvious that one neednot besignificantly influencedby priorachievementswithin afieldin order tomakeasignificantcontributionto thatfield To conclude although there is nodoubt that the influenceof priorachievements monlyfactors intocontributions to most fields for newfields the radicalreinvention ofold fieldsand in the caseof amateurdiscoveries there is ampleroom forcontributions tobe madewithoutbeingstronglyinfluencedby previouscontributions 458words 26 The luxuriesand conveniences of contemporarylife preventpeople fromdeveloping into truly strong and independent individuals Write aresponse in which youdiscuss theextent towhich youagree ordisagree with the statementand explainyour reasoningfor theposition youtake In developingand supportingyour position you shouldconsider waysin whichthe statementmight ormight nothold trueand explainhow theseconsiderations shapeyour position As socialanimals humans havebee increasinglydependent onone anotherover thecourse of history toincreasetheefficiency andsurvivability but ata costto ourability to develop intotruly strongand independentindividuals In fact contemporary luxuriesand convenienceshave sohindered individualstrength and independence thatmost modernindividuals areunable to provide themselveswith even the most basic needs First consider theeffect thatthe convenienceof modernfactory farmingand theubiquity ofcheap ready made foodhas on our strengthandindependence as individuals In thepast whenmuch of theworld s populationwas engagedin agriculture the production preparation and storageof foodwere monknowledge Today however only asmall portionof thepopulation is able toproduce foodindependently This relianceon othersto satisfyour mostbasic needsclearly illustratesthe negativeeffects thatmodern conveniencehave hadonourindependenceasindividuals In addition just aswith food the luxuriesand conveniencesof modernlife havehad anegative impacton the ability ofmost peopleto independentlyprovide their own shelter As recentlyas lastcentury manyAmericans wereknowledgeable andindustrious enoughto createtheirownhomes In thosedays peopleerected homesthat werein tunewith theirnatural surroundingsso

theproper developmentof theirimmunesystem This exampleproves thatmodern luxurieshave takenaway ourability todevelop intostrong independentindividuals In conclusion humans in the developedworld

Write aresponse in which youdiscuss theextent towhich youagree ordisagree with the statementand explainyour reasoningfor theposition youtake In developingand supportingyour position you shouldconsider waysin whichthe statementmight ormight nothold trueand explainhow theseconsiderations shapeyour position There isno denyingthe factthat praisingpositive actions isa powerful educationaltool However any teachingmethod thatignores thebenefit ofexamining negative actions is inplete Therefore the bestway to teach whether asan educator employer or parent is topraise positive actions whilealso contrary tothe statement discussing negative actions and their effects First of all as part of aplete educationstrategy educators should praisestudents for positive performance Depending on theageof students positive feedbackin theclassroom cantake manyforms For example primary schoolstudents mightbe motivatedby receivingsmall toys while foruniversity studentspraise couldtake theform ofpositive verbalfeedback froma professor What theage groupand reward praising motivatesthem to learn in ordertocontinue receivingpositive feedback While positivefeedback isapowerfultool educatorsshouldalso includefeedback for negativeactions in orderto best educate students As evidence consider thenumber of learning opportunitiesthat would be lostif aneducator failedto pointout instancesof incorrectusage toa foreignlanguage student Just aswith educators in ordertoteachmost effectively employers shouldpraise positive actions There canbe littledoubt thatpraise doledout for positive performanceintheform ofbonuses raises andpromotions motivatesworkers to learn improvedmethods toperform theirjob However to ensurethat learning takes placeinthe most efficientmanner possible employers shouldalso pointout and discuss theeffects of any significantnegativeactionson thepartofemployees If anemployee isnever reprimandedfornegativeactions atwork he maynever learnthe correctmethod Likewise parents shouldalso employboth praise forpositiveactionsandadvice oncorrecting negativeactionsin ordertobesteducatechildren In amanner similar tothatof studentsand employees praising childrenforpositiveactionsis an excellentway toreinforce goodbehavior At the same timechildren shouldhave negativebehavior pointedout tothem sothattheyknow whatneedstobe improved Just aswith employees if negativeactions are not discussedwith children they maynot knowthat certainbehavior isn t aeptable Therefore in orderfor parents toprovide the best teaching they shouldboth praisepositiveactionsanddiscussnegative ones In summary the argumentis correctto pointout thatpraiseforpositiveactionsis integralif educators employers andparents wishtoteachmost effectively However an examinationof theeffects ofacknowledging negativeactions showsthat doingso isan equally effective methodof teaching Thus inorderfor educators employers andparentstoprovidethe bestteaching they mustacknowledge negativeactions aswell aspraisepositiveactions 462words 31 Society shouldmake effortsto saveendangered species only if the potential extinction ofthose species is the result of human activities Write aresponse inwhich youdiscuss your views onthe policyand explainyour reasoningfor theposition youtake In developingand supportingyour position you shouldconsider thepossible consequencesof implementingthe policyand explainhow theseconsequences shapeyour position Extinctions ourso rapidlythat protectingan endangered species isoften arace againsttime so thereisoftenno timeto pauseto determinewhether or not humanactivity is the source of theproblem Thus contrary tothe viewexpressed inthe statement in decidingwhich endangered species to protect themost importantfactor should not bewhether the potential extinctionofaspecies isthe resultof humanactivities First ofall it isdifficult orimpossibletoascertain whichendangeredspeciesface potential extinction due to humanactivities andwhich speciesface extinctiondue tonatuaral processes For example current estimatesplace thenumber of species going extinct eachyear inthe thousands It wouldtake anarmy of scientists andresearchers toidentify whichspecies are endangered asa resultof humanactivities What smore due tothe plicatednature ofearth s ecosystemsmaking auratedetermination of the causeof endangermentfor everyspecies wouldbe impossible Therefore rather thanseeking toprotect onlythose speciesendangered asa resultof humanactivites society shouldtry toprotect allspecies knowntobeendangered Furthermore a moreimportant considerationin deciding whether toprotect an endangeredspeciesor notshould bebased onits potential for futurebenefit tosociety Many endangeredspecies should be protectedbecause of thepotentialbenifts ofretaining ahigh degreeof biodiversity Approximately halfofallmedicines inuse todayare derivativesof naturalproducts Alarmingly thousands ofspecies aregoingextinctannually withoutbeing discoveredby science As aresult thousands ofchances arelost eachyear forsociety todiscover life saving medicalpounds In lightof thesedevelopments thenecessity toprotect remainingspecies no matterwhy they areendangered bees sbsolutelyclear Likewise another keyfactor indecidingwhetheror nottoprotectan endangeredspecies isthe roleof that species inits localecosystem For example it hasbeen welldocumented bybiologists that keystone species areof greaterimportance toecosystems thanother species The extinctionofakeystone speciescould producea dominoeffect inwhich anecosystem collapsesand severalmore speciesbee endangeredor extinct Hence inordertomostefficiently preservebiodiversity all endangeredkeystone speciesshould beprotected withoutconsideration for the causeof theirendangerment In conclusion I disagree with the statement thatsociety shouldmake effortsto saveanendangeredspeciesonlyif thepotentialextinctionof

five years Reason The surest path to suess for any enterprise is revitalization through new leadership Write aresponse inwhich youdiscuss theextent towhich youagree ordisagree withthe claimand the reason onwhich thatclaim is based New leadershipoften bringsabout reformor changein strategy As beneficialas new leadership canbe forachieving suess there areother moreeffective waysto stimulatethesameresult Therefore while I agreewiththe claimthatinanyfieldthose inpower shouldstep down after five years in myopinion there are morereliable pathsto suessthan revitalizationof leadership One pellingargument in support of the claim is thatforcing those inpowerto step down after fiveyearsis necessarytokeepleadership motivated toward achievingsuess For example if thepresident of the UnitedStates wasnot forcedto step down afterfour yearsunless reelected he wouldlose apowerful sourceof motivationto suessfullyserve thewill ofthe people For thisreason a systemwithout termlimits inviteslackluster performanceand corruption Thus inthe field politicsthose inpower shouldstep downafter fiveyears Another reasonin support ofthe claimis thatoneeffective pathto
