opinionstated above Support yourviews with reasons and or examplesfrom yourown experience observations or reading While nearlyeveryone wouldagree inprinciple thatcertain efforts to preserve thenatural environment arein humankind s bestinterest environmental issuesalways involvea tugof waramong conflictingpolitical andeconomic interests For thisreason and becauseserious environmentalproblems aregenerally largein scale government participationis needed to ensureenvironmental preservation Experience tellsus thatindividuals and privatecorporations ownedby individuals tend toact onbehalf of their ownshort term economicand politicalinterest not onbehalf of the environmentor thepublic atlarge For example current technologymakes possiblethe pleteelimination ofpolluting emissionsfrom automobiles Nevertheless neither automobilemanufacturers norconsumers arewilling or able tovoluntarily makethe short term sacrificesnecessary toaomplish thisgoal Only thegovernment holdsthe regulatoryand enforcementpower toimpose thenecessary standardsand to ensure thatwe achievesuch goals Aside from the problemsof self interest andenforcement environmental issuesinherently involvepublic healthand arefar toopandemic innature forindividuals to solve on their own Many of the mostegregious environmentalviolations traversestate and sometimes national borders Environmental hazardsare akin to those involving foodand drugsafety and to protectingborders againstenemies individuals haveneither thepower northe resourcesto addressthese widespreadhazards In thefinal analysis only theauthority andscope ofpower thata governmentpossesses canensure theattainment of agreed upon environmentalgoals Because individualsare incapableof assumingthis responsibility government mustdo so 2 It isunrealistic toexpect individual nations to make independently the sacrificesnecessary toconserve energy International leadershipand worldwidecooperation areessential ifwe expectto protectthe world s energy resources forfuture generations Discuss theextent towhich youagree ordisagree with the opinionstated above Support yourviews withreasons and or examplesfrom yourown experience observations or reading The speakerasserts that an international effort is neededto preserve the world s energyresources forfuture generations While individual nations like people are at times willingto makevoluntary sacrificesfor thebenefit of others my viewis thatinternational coordinationis neverthelessnecessary inlight of the strongpropensity ofnations toact selfishly and becausethe problemis internationalin scope The mainreason why an international effort isnecessary is that left to their owndevices individualnations like people will actaording to their short term motivesand self interest The mereexistence ofmilitary weaponsindicates that self interest andnational survivalare everynation s primedrivers And excessiveconsumption byindustrialized nationsof naturalresources theyknow to be finite when alternativesare athand demonstratesthatself interest andshort sightedness extend to theuse of energyresourcesas well Furthermore nations like people tend torationalize their own self serving policiesand actions Emerging nationsmight argue for example that theyshould beexempt fromenergy conservationbecause it is theindustrialized nationswho can better affordto makesacrifices andwho usemore resourcesin thefirst place Another reasonwhyan international effortis requiredis thatother problemsof an international naturehave alsorequired globalcooperation For example has eachnation independentlyrecognized thefolly of nuclear weaponsproliferation andvoluntarily disarmed No only byway of aninternationaleffort based largelyon coercionof strongleaders againstdetractors along with an appeal to self interest have wemade someprogress By the same token efforts ofindividualnationsto thwartinternational drugtrafficking haveproven largelyfutile because effortshave notbeen internationallybased Similarly the problem ofenergyconservation transcendsnational bordersin that either all nations mustcooperate or allwill ultimatelysuffer In conclusion nations aremade upof individualswho when leftunconstrained tend toact in theirownself interest andwith short term motives In lightof howwe havedealt or notdealt with otherglobal problems it appearsthataninternationaleffortisneededtoensurethe preservationof naturalresources forfuture generations 15 Nations shouldcooperate todevelop regulationsthat limitchildren s aessto adultmaterial on the Inter The Interis aworldwide puterwork Discuss theextent towhich youagree ordisagree with the opinionstated above Support yourviews withreasons and or examplesfrom yourown experience observations or reading The issuehere iswhether aninternationaleffortto regulate children s aessto adultmaterial on the Interis worthwhile In myview nations shouldattempt toregulate suchaess bycooperative regulatory effort I basethis viewon theuniversality andimportance of the interest in protectingchildren fromharm and on the inherentlypandemic nature of the problem Adults everywherehave aserious interestin limitingaess bychildren topornographic material Pornographic materialtends toconfuse children distorting theirnotion ofsex of themselvesas sexualbeings and ofhow peopleought totreat one another Particularly in the caseof domination and childpornography the messageschildren receivefrom pornographicmaterial cannotcontribute in a healthyway to their emergingsexuality Given thisimportant interestthat knowsno culturalbounds we shouldregulatechildren s aessto sexuallyexplicit materialon the Inter However information onthe Interis not easily containedwithin nationalborders Limiting aessto suchinformation is akin topreventing certainkinds ofglobal environmentaldestruction Consider theproblemofozone depletionthought to be a result ofchloroflourocarbon CFC emissions When thegovernment regulatedCFC productionin theU S corporations responsiblefor releasingCFC s into the atmospheresimply movedabroad and the global threatcontinued Similarly the Interis aglobal phenomenon regulations in one countrywill notstop contamination overall Thus suessful regulationof Interpornography requiresinternational cooperation just as suessful CFCregulation finallyrequired thejoint effortsof manynations Admittedly any globalregulatoryeffortfaces formidablepolitical hurdles since cooperationand plianceonthepart of allnations even warringones is inherentlyrequired Nevertheless as in the caseofnucleardisarmament orglobal warming the possibleconsequences offailing tocooperate demandthat theeffort be made And dissenterscan always be coercedinto pliancepolitically oreconomically byan allianceof influentialnations In sum people everywherehave aserious interestin thehealthy sexualdevelopment ofchildren and therefore in limitingchildren s aessto Interpornography Because Intermaterial is noteasilyconfined withinnationalborders we cansuessfully regulatechildren s aessto adultmaterials onthe Interonly byway ofinternational cooperation 40 With theincreasing emphasisonaglobal economy and internationalcooperation people needto understandthat their role as citizens of the worldis moreimportant thantheirrole as citizensof aparticular country Discuss theextent towhich youagree ordisagree withthe opinionstated above Support yourviews withreasons and or examplesfrom yourown experience observations or reading With thegrowth oftheglobaleconomyand the needfor internationalcooperation every humanbeing has assumed a role ascitizen oftheworld Does thismean thatour rolesascitizensof ourrespective nationsare therebysuperseded byour role as world citizens as the speaker suggests Not at all Good citizenship at onelevel isoften patiblewith good citizenship atanother In fact being agood citizen in onesocial domaincan help one be a better citizenin another Good globalcitizenship is not inpatiblewith goodcitizenshipatother levels Consider for example one s effortsas a citizen topreservethenatural environment One particularperson might for example 1 lobby legislatorsto enactlaws preservingan endangeredredwood forest 2 campaign fornationally elected officialswho supportclean airlaws and 3 contribute tointernational rainforestpreservation organizations This oneperson wouldbe actingconsistently as acitizenof munity state nation andworld Admittedly conflicting obligationssometimes ariseas aresult ofour new dual citizenship For example a U S military officialwith anadvisory rolein aUnited Nationspeace keeping forcemight faceconflicting coursesof action one that would secureU S military interests and anotherthatwouldbetter serveinternational interests However the fact that sucha conflictexists doesnot mean thateitheraction is automatically moreobligatory that is that one s roleas eitherU S citizen orworldcitizenmust invariablysupersede the other Instead this situationshould beresolved bycarefully consideringand weighingthe consequencesof eachcourse of action Moreover being agoodcitizeninonesocial contextcan oftenhelponebea bettercitizenin another For example volunteering to help underprivilegedchildren inone s munitymight inspireone to work for aninternationalchild welfare organization And inculcatingcivic values such ascharity andcivic pride may giverise topersonal traitsof characterthat transferto allsocial domainsand contexts In sum although our dual citizenship mayattimeslead toconflicts one roleneed notautomatically takeprecedence overtheother Moreover the relationshipbetween the two rolesis more oftenthan not a plementaryone and caneven besynergistic 33 People arelikely to aept as a leaderonly someonewho hasdemonstrated anability to perform the same tasksthat he or sheexpects otherstoperform Discuss theextent towhich youagree

withthe opinionstated above Support yourposit ionwithreasons and or examplesfrom yourown experience observations or reading I believethere issome truthto the speaker s claimthat technologyseparates andalienates people However there iscertainly at least asmuch evidencethat technologyserves bestto bringpeople together The mostobvious waythat technologyseparates andalienates peoplefrom one another issymbolized by the puternerd sittingglazed eyed beforehis puterscreen in a basement attic bedroom or officecubicle While thisscene isa caricature of course it s truethat practicallyeverybody whouses emailor surfstheInterdoes soalone with onlyhis orher puterfor pany And to theextent thatputer useincreases the amount of time wecollectively spendin solitaryactivities it increasestheamount of timewe

quitea numberof peoplevia emailwith whomI mightnever havespoken otherwise These includeold friendswith whomI hadfallen out ofthehabit ofwriting regularletters butwith whomI nowcorrespond regularlybecauseofthe easewith whichemail can be sentand delivered A secondway in which thenew technology has broughtpeople togetheris by allowing individualswho havemon intereststomakecontact withone

most effective wayforabusinessperson to maximize profitsover along periodoftimeis tofollow the highest standardsof ethics Discuss theextent towhich youagree ordisagree withthe opinionstated above Support yourviews withreasons and or examplesfrom yourown experience observations or reading The speakerclaims thatfollowing highethical standardsis the best waytomaximize profits in the long run However this claimseems tobe moreofanormative statementthan anempirical observation The issueis moreplex thanthespeaker suggests In myobservation thetwoobjectives attimes coincidebut atother timesconflict In manyways behavingethically canbenefit abusiness Ethical conductwill gain a panygood reputationthat earnsrepeated business Treating suppliers customers andothers fairlyis likelyto resultin theirreciprocating Finally a panythat treatsits employeesfairly andwith respectwill gain their loyaltywhich in turn usually translatesinto higherproductivity On theother hand taking the most ethicalcourse ofaction mayin manycases reduceprofits in theshort runand beyond Consider thedetails ofa mergerinwhichboth firmshopetoprofit froma synergygained thereby If thedetails ofthe mergerhinge onthe ethicalconviction thatas fewemployees aspossible shouldlose their jobs the keyexecutives maylose sightofthefactthata leaner less labor intensive organizationmight benecessary forlong term survival Thus undue concernwith ethicsin thiscase wouldresults in lower profitsand perhapsultimate businessfailure This mergerscenario pointsout alarger argumentthat thespeaker missesentirely that profitmaximization isper sethe highest ethical objectivein privatebusiness Why By maximizingprofits businesses bestowa varietyof importantbenefits ontheir munityand onsociety they employmore people stimulate theeconomy and enhancehealthy petition In short the profitmotive isthe keyto ensuringthat themembers ofa freemarket societysurvive andthrive While thisargument mightignore implicationsfor thenaturalenvironmentand forsocioeconomic justice it isa pellingargument noheless Thus thechoice tofollow highethical standardsshould notbemadeby thinkingthat ethicalconduct isprofitable While insome casesa mitmentto highethical standardsmight benefita panyfinancially in manycases it willnot In thefinal analysis businesses mightbest beadvised toview theirattempts tomaximize profitsas highlyethical
