A product can be created from having a clear aim and purpose, however, they won't gain any popularity or good reputation, therefore they need something to let people know it exists. That is when advertising comes in handy, helping promote and bring the unknown products into the spotlight. Therefore, I agree that advertising is used mainly for help gaining an unpopular product more popularity as well as being sold more.

Firstly, advertising exists in order to attract more customers into buying a product.They can be seen in many different forms, such as advertisements on social media, televisions, bill boards, etc. These methods and forms can often be seen by many people, as they help people know about different events around the world, and with colorful and appealing images, along with persuasive techniques being used, more people would start to pay attention to it and become more interested in the product being shown. And as the product draws more attention from people, it would lead to people starting to purchase it, resulting in an increase in sales of the product as well as becoming more well known and moving into the front of the shelves.

Additionally, unknown products often only stay at the back, and require an action on it to be shown and introduced to people around the world. Since they are only produced and can’t be seen by many people often, they wouldn’t be known and therefore won’t be bought or get any sales, leading to affecting the business and production of that product. Therefore, with the help of advertising, simply quoting or showing someone being happy while using the product would result in countless people wanting to buy and try out as well as significantly increase its sales and bring it into the spotlight.

However, advertising doesn’t always mean that it only shows unpopular and “useless” products to people, but any product can be brought up as well. We can see that products that are already well-known and crucial in daily lives can still pop-up almost anywhere and anytime, whether you’re outside, or even just sitting and scrolling on your phone, such as Aquafina, OMO, C2, etc. This is because companies are trying to convince and persuade people to buy their products instead of others, therefore, with an on-going popularity that they already have, being shown more would just basically draw attention from more people and easily convince them to purchase it. Advertisements also have other purposes such as reminding people. This is when advertisements draw attention by giving a sort of “update” in products, or ones that are going to be released soon, limited editions ones, etc. These contents would not only make the customers stay tuned and feel the excitement in trying it out but also make them want to purchase quickly during a limited time.

In conclusion, I agree that advertising takes a crucial part in increasing the sales and promoting not really needed and unknown products to many people. However, advertising doesn’t only show the unpopular ones but any other types as well, including the popular ones, and it also has other purposes alongside such as reminding the customers about new or limited products.

Nowadays, advertising is being criticized for persuading consumers to buy products they do not truly need, with the sole aim of increasing sales. While it is undeniable that advertising can encourage unnecessary consumption, in another perspective, advertising also plays several other important roles in modern society.

First, advertising is tool used to persuade people to buy products. But there is a severe problem: advertising is extremely costly, so promoting unnecessary products would simply be a waste of money. Because of that, companies will need to research properly and study the consumer behavior. In fact, most e of money. In reality, companies invest heavily in advertising because they believe their products offer real value and can meet consumers’ needs. Therefore, the idea of advertisement is only about persuading consumers to buy products they do not truly need is not reasonable.

Second, advertising is not only about increasing sales, it also acts as a test of a product’s usefulness and quality. If a product is truly unnecessary or poorly designed, even the most attractive advertisements will fail to convince consumers to buy it. On the other hand, useful products often survive and success in the long run as advertising introduce them to the market and allows consumers to test their benefits. In this view, advertising is like a bridge between producers and consumers, rather than a tool for promoting pointless stuff.

Last but not least, false or misleading advertising is strictly regulated and often illegal. In many countries, governments have a law that require advertisements to be truthful and not exaggerate the benefits of products. Companies that provide false information can face fines, lawsuits or even being banned from selling products. As a result, advertisers need to focus on real features rather than inventing needs that do not exist.

In short, although advertising is sometimes accused of persuading consumers to buy products they do not truly need, it is not true to claim that this is its main purpose. Advertising requires significant financial investment, the product’s usefulness and no false or misleading claims. Because of that, I disagree with the view that advertising mainly exists to sell products people do not truly need.

Advertising is the paid, structured communication used by brands to promote products, services, or ideas to a target audience through various media. Therefore, there is an argument that "the main purpose of advertising is to increase the sales of products that people don't really need. I half agree and half disagree with this statement.

There are various reasons for me to agree that advertising increase the sales of unnecessary products. People often encounter ads about the products that are not really necessary. Many might ignore them, but an attractive ad may influence their behavior. The reason is the substance that people's brains produce when watching ads called 'dopamine'. It makes people feel excited and motivates them to do things without thinking carefully. In this case, dopamine makes people want to buy products, and some will waste their money. 'Shopaholics' is also a reason for the increasement of unnecessary products. They are shopping-addicted people who will buy anything they want because of feeling excited. Therefore, ads that attracts them will enrich the investors.

On the other hand, advertisements also increase the sales of products that people need. Many people nowadays are discerning enough to recognize what they need and what they don't. Therefore, when seeing the products that they need through ads, the sales of these products increase. While some people are choosing to buy the products they need, others are choosing to ignore the ads. Many ads nowadays are not attractive enough to influence people to spend money. As a result, they don't really increase the sales of unnecessary ones.

In sum, in my opinion, advertisements increase the sales of both necessary and unnecessary products. Ads help people a lot nowadays, and in the future, it will bring much more benefits than we can imagine.

In the film industry, there have been many prominent examples of talent, both young and old, as well as the power of film. However, one of the most outstanding films ever produced is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was a movie produced by warner bros, with part one being released on November 19th, 2010, while part 2 was released on July 15th, 2011. It was directed by David Yates with the main actors being Danielle Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter. Emma Watson, who played Hermione Granger, and Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley. The plot followed Harry, Hermione, and Ron, as they navigated countless dangers, emotional obstacles and unsolved questions on their hunt for magical objects called Horcruxes, and ultimately, the death of the main villain, ending with the classic good overpowers evil.

My first reaction to the film was how well the story was conveyed, even showing subtle hints such as the use of dark colours despite colour films having been invented, which was used to portray the dark storyline as well as the emotions the characters felt. The entire field was extremely well produced, including realistic acting, incredible editing, and even jump scares from a snake. I was especially amazed at how the filmmakers used CGI to create realistic effects, such as a real giant snake, even though in reality, the “snake” was simply a boxing glove on a stick.

Apart from the cinematography, I was also amazed by the level of acting the actors employed; even when they were having fun during filming, it was extremely hard to tell, and arguably, it made the film better. For instance, in a scene where the main characters were being chased. The actors were actually racing each other. This shows their professionalism as well as the ability to improve scenes through personal activities. Another memorable instance of improvisation by actors in the movie was by Ralph Fiennes, who played Lord Voldemort. During one of the final scenes, the actor constantly changed his approach during takes, leading to the iconic hug Voldemort gave Draco Malfoy.

In conclusion, while many films are recognized, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows stands out for the outstanding performance of it’s actors and the incredible use of filmmaking by the producers.

Around the world, there are many different festivals, each with its own diverse and unique features, but one stands out in particular. And that is Día de los Muertos, also known as the Day of the Dead.

Dio Dolores Muertos originated in ancient Mesopotamia among certain tribes. They would celebrate the dead. They would decorate graves, bring food, and create light, believing that it was the single day that the dead could return as ghosts. During the Spanish conquest, the Spanish influenced their atholic holidays with the celebrations of the indigenous tribes. Over time, these ancient celebrations evolved into the festival we know today.

In the present, Día de los Muertos is often celebrated with many new customs. One of them is food. Sweet bread called Pan de Muerto, sugar skulls, and tamales are special foods that are often prepared for both the dead and the living. They are placed on the altar, also known as an ofrenda. People also participate in many activities, such as creating certain crafts, especially skeletons. Furthermore, Día de los Muertos is about family. The deceased are believed to return during this festival, allowing generations to spend time together. Additionally, the festival features parades, rituals, and gatherings that are filled with fun and joy.

Dia de los Muertos has also influenced other aspects of life, including entertainment. One noticeable example is Coco, a Disney movie that features a boy who gets transported to the next life. While it primarily focuses on the importance of family and working through disagreements, however, the day of the dead plays an important role in the plot as it was essential for the family to return to the living world. The festival has also influenced modern perspectives of life and death, because Dia de los Muertos is not about sadness, but rather the next step in life. Furthermore, the festival strengthens diversity and understanding among different people, as well as strengthening bonds and heritage.

In conclusion, while some festivals are modern and popular, Dia de los Muertos is not just any festival, but is a celebration that is influenced by different cultures and celebrations, and still influences life today.

Here is a more detailed look at Diwali, expanded to approximately 300 words to capture the full depth of this "Festival of Lights."

The Radiance of Diwali: A Celebration of Light

Diwali, or Deepavali, is perhaps the most iconic and widely celebrated festival in India, serving as a powerful symbol of hope and renewal. While its roots are found in ancient Hindu mythology—most notably marking the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after defeating the demon king Ravana—its message of the triumph of light over darkness resonates across many cultures and religions today, including Sikhism and Jainism.

The preparation for Diwali begins weeks in advance. Families engage in a ritual of deep-cleaning their homes, symbolizing the removal of "clutter" from their lives to make room for new energy. As the festival approaches, the physical world begins to glow. Every balcony, doorway, and windowsill is lined with diyas (small clay oil lamps) and intricate fairy lights. On the ground, the entrance of every home is decorated with Rangoli—stunning geometric patterns made from colored sand, rice, or flower petals—designed to welcome Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity.

The atmosphere of Diwali is one of pure sensory joy. The air is thick with the scent of incense and the aroma of Mithai, traditional sweets like saffron-infused Jalebis and nutty Barfi, which are shared generously among neighbors and friends. As night falls on the main day of celebration, the sky is often set ablaze with fireworks, their thunderous pops and shimmering sparks mirroring the internal joy of the celebrants below.

Beyond the festivities, Diwali is a time for introspection and social harmony. It is a season for wearing one's finest new clothes, settling old debts, and forgiving past grievances. By lighting the lamp of knowledge within oneself, the festival encourages people to cast away the shadows of ignorance and prejudice, making it a beautiful testament to the enduring human spirit.

In today’s modern world, festivals play a vital role in preserving a country’s cultural identity while promoting mutual understanding among diverse communities. In Singapore, a country well known for its multicultural society, the Chingay Parade is a poweerful symbol of unity, creativity and cultural harmony. This is an event that reflects Singapore’s welcome to to a multicultural society where everyone is a friend to another.

The Chingay Parade is usually held between January and February, often in connection with the Lunar New Year. The first time this festival appear is in the 1970s as a street procession mainly associated with the Chinese community. However, over time, it evolved into a large-scale national celebration that involves participants from different ethnic groups. Nowadays, Chingay is widely known as one of the largest and most exicting street parades in Asia.

One of the most fascinating features of the festival is that it promotes cultural diversity. The event includes performances from Chinese, Malay, Indian, and other communities. Traditional dances are presented such as lion and dragon dances, Malay drumming, and Indian folk dances along with modern performances like hip-hop, acrobatics or even advanced technology showcases. The combination of tradition and modernity shows that cultural heritage can remain in a developing society.

Another unique feature of Chingay is that the theme of the festival change every year. Each year, there is a specific theme such as sustainability, inclusiveness, or national resilience. This make festival goer think about social values and contemporary issues. Furthermore, it also promotes social cohesion. Participants from different backgrounds work together for months to prepare for the performances, which improves teamwork, mutual respect, and a strong sense of unity. By that, the festival makes a strong message that cultural differences should be celebrated rather than seen as barriers.

In conclusion, the Chingay Parade is an outstanding festival that reflects Singapore’s multicultural character, creative spirit, and social values. It stands as an important cultural symbol that not only entertains people but also encourages pride, mutual understanding, and unity in Singaporean society.

Festivals, one of the important aspects in a country or areas, have existed for a long time. With their main role of showing their cultural identity, along with strengthening and creating bonds between citizens, there are different but unique ways to express the representation as well as the colors, shared thoughts of their own culture. Due to having the country’s own tradition and culture, festivals can portray them in countless ways that are suitable for their meaning, for example, if it celebrates in a more fun and exciting way, there will be fun activities there, whereas at ones that are more serious, the activities are a lot more respectful. And among the various festivals happening around the world, other than a few traditions in my country, my favorite one is considered one of the largest beer festival and funfair in the world – Oktoberfest.

Oktoberfest is a festival in Munich, Germany, happening from mid-September to the first Sunday of October. It is also an incredibly popular festival that attracts almost seven million visitors each year. The event was originally celebrated in 1810, with the aim of celebrating the royal wedding between crown prince of Bavaria and Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen. Oktoberfest not only preserve the history and tradition in Germany but also strengthen the community bonds as well as boosting mood in visitors.

The festival starts with an opening ceremony to get ready and begin. Once everyone is all ready, the mayor would tap the first keg, shouting: "O'zapft is!”, meaning “It’s tapped!”. The visitors will then move to different activities that they want. The first one is one of the most popular ones that people can see almost everywhere, which is going to eat food and especially drinking beer. They are often sold in tents that are built for a surprising amount of money. However, the countless tents selling food and beers to satisfy goers would already erase the worries and concerns about the price. The surroundings will be filled with clanking sounds of glasses and cheer by saying “Prost!”, along with waitresses who can carry around seven one-liter steins of beer while smiling as if it’s just light work for them. As for a few other people interested in more exciting and thrilling activities, there are rides and games ready for every generation. The event offers amusement games such as roller coasters, Ferris wheels, as well as carnival games challenging people’s skills, and even a section where the old, nostalgic rides and games for people wanting to revisit again or simply explore the old activities back then. And to boost the exciting atmosphere of the event even more, there are colorful parades as well as traditional music blasting around and filling the whole place. However, visitors should be aware of the rules and especially one of the common mistakes happening, which is bringing cards to pay, while they only accept cash instead.

In conclusion, Oktoberfest is one of the largest folk festivals, serving beers and food around, along with games and rides as well as parades and music to create an exciting and joyful atmosphere. This festival not only is my favorite because of the atmosphere, but also due to its meaning of connecting citizens and other people around the world to celebrate together as well.

Nowadays, many festivals that are passed down through generations are being celebrated. Some of them are celebrated by the domestic people only, but Halloween is a special one because many people around the world enjoy it.

"Halloween", standing for All Hallows Eve, is the festival that is celebrated on 31st of October every year. This is the beginning of the All Hallowtide, also known as a period in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead. This day's traditional focus revolves around the theme of using humor and mockery to confront the power of death.

People do many things on Halloween. Some of them are trick-or-treat, having a costume party, lighting a bonfire, carving pumpkins to make jack-o'-lanterns, etc. In many parts of the world, Christian celebrations on Halloween include attending church services and lighting candles at gravesites. Although people nowadays eat normally on Halloween, historically, some Christians abstained from meat on All Saints' Eve.

The symbols that are associated with Halloween have been formed and developed over time. In the early periods, people in Ireland and Scotland people used radish. Then, North American immigrants used pumpkins, which are bigger and valuable, and putted candles inside as a way to commemorate the souls who are suffering. Moreover, monsters such as Dracula, Frankenstein and Mummies are all inspired from apocalyptic theories, customs and traditions, Gothic fiction, and horror literature.

In sum, Halloween is a day to confront the power of death and is also a holiday that is more secular and commercial in nature. After a long history of developing, Halloween gradually enters people's lives all around the world and became a national festival.

In today’s modern world, the media today devote enormous attention to the opinions and actions of celebrities such as actors, singers, and sports stars. In my opinion, it is understandable for this fascination. For me, I think we should pay attention to celebrities’ opinions and actions as their influence when used with responsibility can contribute positively to society.

First, celebrities have enormous reach and visibility. When they speak, millions of people listen. This can help important messages to spread quickly and widely. Because of that, topics like environmental protection, mental health, or charity work will gained attention as soon as they speak about them. People will almost instantly engage to the topic and the problems associated with the topic will be solve almost instantly.

Second, celebrities often serve as role models, especially for young people. Their actions can inspire others to behave better. For example, Cristiano Ronaldo inspired millions of people to be more hard working and discipline. Or Mr.Beast, a famous youtuber, has spreaded his kind hearts to people all over the world to help each other. By observing how celebrities overcome challenges, fans may feel motivated to improve themselves.

Third, celebrities’ opinions and actions can act as informal representatives of society on a global stage. They frequently interact with international audiences through films, sports events, and social media, which allows them to show different things they want to say. Many celebrities come from diverse cultural, social, or economic backgrounds, and their public voices can help bring topics that are discussed in social media. This can help individuals share their perspectives and we can understand more about other’s situation.

In short, although celebrities are not experts in every field, their opinions and actions deserve attention because of their ability to inform, inspire, and motivate the public. When used responsibly, celebrity influence can contribute positively to social awareness and collective action.

# data[].attributes.body
In our modern, hyper-connected world, the spotlight on celebrities has expanded far beyond their professional performances. Whether through social media or traditional news, the opinions and actions of actors and sports stars are frequently treated as significant events. While some argue that these individuals lack the expertise to influence public discourse, I believe that we should pay close attention to celebrity actions, as they possess a unique power to catalyze positive social change and raise awareness for critical issues.

The primary reason to follow celebrity actions is their ability to humanize complex global problems. While a scientific report on climate change or a statistical study on mental health might be ignored by the general public, a well-known figure like Leonardo DiCaprio or Selena Gomez speaking on these topics commands immediate attention. By sharing their personal experiences or championing specific causes, celebrities act as "salience magnets," drawing millions of people toward information they might otherwise overlook. For example, when elite athletes speak openly about their mental health struggles, they play a vital role in destigmatizing a taboo subject, encouraging their fans to seek help.

Furthermore, the philanthropic impact of celebrities is undeniable. Many use their immense wealth and platform to launch foundations that address systemic inequalities. Figures such as Angelina Jolie, through her work with refugees, or LeBron James, with his "I Promise" School, demonstrate that celebrity influence can translate into tangible, life-altering resources for marginalized communities. When the media emphasizes these actions, it provides a blueprint for social responsibility, inspiring the public to engage in charitable giving and community service.

Admittedly, one should maintain a level of critical thinking, as fame does not equate to expertise. However, dismissing their influence entirely is a missed opportunity. When celebrities align themselves with experts and use their visibility to amplify the voices of the unheard, they become a bridge between complex issues and public action.

In conclusion, we should pay attention to the opinions and actions of celebrities when they are used to promote the common good. Their platform is a powerful tool for social education and philanthropy, and by following their lead, society can mobilize more effectively to solve pressing global challenges.

While being a celebrity has numerous advantages, there are certain inconveniences one has to endure, such as stress or loss of time. However, one of the most terrible parts of being a celebrity is the loss of privacy. Social media and those who work for it often track celebrities and invade their privacy, often capturing their actions and opinions that are shared with the public. However, should we pay attention to them?

One reason we should not pay too much attention to them is that it reinforces moral values such as respect and acceptance. The problem with a celebrity’s mistakes is that they are often considered much more serious than those of a normal person, even if those mistakes are the exact same. We should be willing to respect their mistakes and allow them to keep those moments private. And this isn’t just about respecting privacy, but also about learning valuable lessons. Especially for young individuals. A little bit of gossip now and then is ok, but we should keep boundaries for ethical reasons.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that different people have different opinions and habits. It is wrong, and sometimes even illegal, to judge someone based on religion, race, gender, etc. Paying attention to another person means paying attention to their identity, and sometimes, that causes backlash. For instance, Kim Kardashian faced hate due to her supposedly ignoring her privilege. While the same thing can easily happen in real life, the people involved will likely face less hate because they are not as well-known.

In conclusion, while social media may tempt us with the latest news on a celebrity scandal or similar scenarios, it is crucial to stay respectful, no matter how famous someone is.

Celebrities are people famous for their work in entertainment, sports or other public fields. However, going hand in hand with the fame, celebrities are often placed heavy emphasis on their opinions and actions by the media. In my opinion I think we should pay attention to these opinions and actions.

In the society nowadays, people, as known as the media, pay much attention to special or well-known people or things. This is because of a phenomenon called Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon, which makes them seem more prevalent. Moreover, with the Halo Effect, our judgement of their actions is colored by their perceived positive traits. As a result, celebrities receive much more attention than normal people do on their opinions and actions. However, at the peak of their careers, a single speech that goes against the media can cause career collapse. Because of the pressure of the media, the celebrity will be forced to end their career in order to not get harmed.

As mentioned earlier, people should pay attention to celebrities' opinions and actions objectively. Through their positive traits, people can learn useful skills that can help them in certain cases. Moreover, people can also study good personalities from celebrities who bring benefits for the society. On the other side, paying attention to these actions and opinions can help people find out the hidden side of a famous person. For example, P. Diddy was a very famous and well known MV producer until his secrets were revealed.

In conclusion, I think that it is fair for celebrities to be placed heavy emphasis by the media. When a person becomes famous, it means that they agreed with being the center of attention. By paying attention to celebrities, people can learn many things along with figuring out the hidden secrets.

Question 2:

As my Great Writing 4 journey comes to an end, it is time where I’ve come to the realization of how much knowledge that I’ve gained from the lessons and units. Although it felt as if I’ve gone through the book in a blink of an eye, there were various kinds of information that I was able to learn more about. I had the chance to explore new kinds of essays that I never knew such as reaction essays, as well as understanding the structure of each kind, making it clearer as well as easier to write. Not only that, but my understanding of each writing topic had also expanded a lot more than before, with ones in different fields or areas that I was usually afraid of like economics, finance, and global problems. Therefore, I can use this information and knowledge to support in different ways in the future. Unfortunately, as I discovered new topics and knowledge in writing, my writing process was getting more mistakes instead. I was struggling with different areas such as basic grammar, which I would often forget and not notice while writing. Additionally, I also wrote long sentences that may repeat the idea before or simply due to writing down unnecessary information that isn’t needed. My vocabulary can also be quite limited at times, leading to an uninteresting essay that keeps on repeating the same word. To sum up, I was able to gain a deeper understanding of various essays as well as topics that play a crucial role in supporting my academic path and my future, however, I should also stay aware of usual mistakes such as basic grammar, long sentences with unnecessary information along with limited vocabulary in order to fully develop my writing skills for the future.

Great writing textbook is a guide for young writers on their path to writing great works. The book teaches writing strategies and various types of essays, providing essential knowledge for effective writing. But the book doesn't just teach; it also creates focus, which exercises that keep the information sharp in the reader’s mind. The book is divided into six sections, each one teaching a different thing.

The first unit is about reading and analyzing an essay, allowing you to more easily find what you are looking for, or just the main idea. Reading an essay is not just about understanding the words; it's about understanding the idea the writer is trying to convey. Unit 1 is also about the main structure of an essay, which is crucial when writing any type of essay.

The second unit is devoted to cause-and-effect essays, meant to analyze a certain event and what causes it. These pieces of writing provide us with a deeper understanding of why the world we live in today is how it is, meaning that we not only understand why events happen and their impact, but also life itself.

The third unit teaches how to write a comparison essay, which involves putting the differences and similarities of two things side by side. The main point of a comparison essay is sometimes about finding out which of the subjects is better, but it’s also about finding out how things can be alike or different, which is important because in life, we need a balance between unity and uniqueness.

The fourth Unit is directed towards learning about argument essays, meant to prove a certain opinion. They are often persuasive and provide reason to believe the writer. An argument essay shapes not just how we see the world, but also lets us explore new ideas or points of view.

The fifth unit is a lesson about problem-solution, explaining certain problems that we may be facing, but it isn’t jest about depressing people, but also about offering potential ways to solve these problems. They are meant to show us that we need to think about things that pose a threat and how to fix them.

The final unit is about a reaction essay. They are directed towards showing writers how to write an essay describing their reaction to a certain photo, to show a persons first thoughts or opinions towards something.

In conclusion, no matter what a person’s writing style is, Great Writing Book 4 definitely shapes a personalized path

Q2:With the great writing book, I have learned and improved my writing a lot. I am now able to recognize different writing styles and find mistakes more easily. Furthermore, my writing has developed a stronger structure and is often clear and engaging. Besides just basic writing, I am also able to use different techniques, such as rhetorical questions. I am also able to make crucial improvements that I would not have known about before. My writing is also on a higher level now, though I used to write at a B1 level, sometimes B2. I can now write at an average of B2 and sometimes C1, often depending on different grading systems. I can also now analyze writing quite well, making it much easier to find certain things in my writing that are referenced in feedback.  However, I sometimes miss grammatical or spelling errors that affect the overall writing quality. Additionally, my writing can be informal in certain sections as I am not as adept at formal writing as I am at casual writing. I hope that i can improve my writing beyond the level it is currently at and make less mistakes, as well as explore different styles to create meaningful words.

Imagine that you are a well-trained doctor, with lots of experience as well as knowledge that can be really beneficial to the society there. However, the area that you are in doesn’t give you back much satisfaction from all the work that you’ve done, such as the salary. Due to the wanting of putting our skills into work would eventually pay off at the end, you decided to migrate to another country instead, which offers many benefits to your work as well. This issue is called “brain drain”, which is when an area loses many of its talented and skilled people who migrated to richer countries that provide better opportunities for them. Because of this problem, more people moving away would mean reducing the amount of people that can support and improve the country, as well as leaving gaps in areas such as education, healthcare, etc . This problem can be caused by many reasons, one of which is the searching for those people from western companies, as well as limiting job opportunities for the origin or the home country. Fortunately, it can also be solved by solutions such as governmental buy-in and private sector buy-in.

Brain drain can be caused due to many reasons, however, one of them is because of western companies in search for highly skilled workers. Western companies are companies that often can develop their economy quickly along with different fields, making them richer and better than the other ones. Because of this, they can easily persuade skilled people from poorer areas to move to their areas instead. Not only that, these companies also seek to find those in specific with a significant impact on the society such as healthcare, engineering and technology sector, which all have its own importance in people’s lives.Since they seek people in those fields, it would also mean that they are welcoming people in there, more talented workers would want to arrive there more, knowing that both the company and themselves would get the benefits. As those people move to richer areas, developing more for those countries, it results in limiting job opportunities in native country. This can be because of overqualified professionals in native countries. For example, a person who holds a PhD degree goes to apply for a job that only needs a bachelor’s degree. They would be considered as an overqualified worker since that person is a lot more skilled with more knowledge than the job already requires. Therefore, this may lead to them being unsatisfied about not using other skills and knowledge, leading to them getting easily moved to another place with better positions. Another reason for this is also the low salaries there. There can be places that have talented people working extremely well but only getting a minimal pay, which can make them not satisfied about it and end up leaving the country again.

Luckily, we can still solve this issue by two solutions, firstly governmental buy-in. This would include activities that require government help such as increased salaries for people working there at ease with the opportunities in their native country. We can also provide more research opportunities, such as investing in more labs for scientists to research, guiding future scientists from putting their skills to work, leading to developing more people that can support economic growth. Another solution is the private sector buy-in, which comes from the support of companies and industries in a plan with the government. It can be foreign investment within the country, meaning that they get the investments from other countries’ companies into the native country, helping the talented workers there work with ease. By increasing more competition between companies, it can also lead to workers having the competitive spirit to continue working to keep on improving the company and the country.

In conclusion, brain drain is a serious problem that has a significant effect on the  native country due to people moving to western companies, leading to limiting job opportunities, which can be solved by two solutions, governmental buy-in and private sector buy-in. This problem may seem difficult to balance between the different countries' economies. By applying these solutions, we will be able to prevent this issue from continuing and developing as well as improving our native country.

Did you know that 2 billion kg of plastic waste are produced globally per day? This is a severe problem due to our irresponsibility, a massive amount of trash is out there floating and harming the environment. Because of that, some people may ask how can we solve this problem? And there are several ways we could aply.

First, special volunteering events should be held regularly. Local communities and government should focus more on cleaning the beach by hosting them about once or twice every month. This will create a kind of routine for everyone to follow. Regular clean-up events will help reduce a huge amount of wastes around the beach in a long term. Moreover, it also promotes our awareness about keeping and making the seaside more beautiful and clea

Second, installing more trash cans at reasonable locations. There are a lot of them got placed at unaccessible and unspottable areas. Instead, placing them in the open spaces where everybody has the view of it will reduce the rate of littering around the beach. Moreover, having different bins for different type of trash is also necessary to sort out them. This will help scrap collectors to dispose them correctly.

Lastly, educating people about this problem is also a crucial step. Schools and government should hold speeches and lectures about the consequences of pollution, especially at the beach. By education, people will realize the seriousness of this problem. They will know that we need to take action as soon as possible. In addition, encouraging people to use reusable items to reduce wastes can also be used during lessons to replace plastic bags.

In short, keeping the ocean clean is not a simple problem. We need to understand why and take action as soon as possible to preserve our beautiful and vast ocean. Using these tips above is a good way to start the process.

The beach's trash is currently one of the most significant environmental concerns. People leaving rubbish on the beach after a visit can cause significant damage to the area and its inhabitants. It is possible for plastic bottles, bags, and food wrappers to end up in the ocean. Sea animals, including turtles, fish, and seabirds may consume or become trapped in this plastic, which can cause injury or death. Furthermore, an unclean beach could create a risk factor for people and negatively impact the local economy.

This problem can be resolved through a number of measures. Regular beach clean-up events can be initiated by local communities and organizations. The tasks facilitate the elimination of waste and promote awareness about beach cleanliness. When individuals engage in cleaning initiatives, they become aware of the amount and type of waste that is discarded, potentially leading to increased caution.

It is recommended to install additional trash cans along the beach. If visitors have easy access to bins, they're more likely to properly dispose of their waste. Clean and well-maintained facilities also foster responsible behavior.

Education is a crucial long-term solution. It is possible to educate individuals on the consequences of pollution and how to minimize their plastic usage in schools, governments, and media. Reusable bottles and bags can be used to reduce waste on the beach by encouraging people to use them.

Finally, litter on the shore is a significant threat to both wildlife and human beings. Why? Our beaches are worth keeping, and we can do everything from preserving the beach to offering more bins and public education on our beautiful beaches.

In the summer, families gather on the beach to enjoy a fun vacation, but this joyful experience is ruined by trash scattered across the beach, turning it into little more than a landfill. What are the problems, and are there any solutions?

One effect it can have is on the ecosystem. Millions of animals call the beach their home. But we are endangering them, as many animals can get stuck in old nets or oddly shaped items. In fact, some turtles even get straws stuck up their nose. Furthermore, many animals may mistake the trash for food. For instance, plastic bags resemble jellyfish, a turtle’s favorite food, leading the turtle to consume them. Additionally, studies have shown that 90% of birds have ingested plastic.

Another danger trash can represent is the loss of what makes a country proud. All across the world, beaches are the nation’s pride. For example, Hawaii often reminds us of serene beaches and tropical animals. But imagine that is replaced with simply trash. For some, this may not be such a big deal, but beaches are beautiful and natural places; the trash takes that magic away, replacing it with the reality that humans are destroying our only home.

Fortunately, there are solutions to this problem.

One of the most effective solutions is to cease littering and instead collect any trash we see. The primary reason there is trash in the first place is that humans put it there. If we change our behavior, not only will trash stop accumulating, but the total amount of waste will also decrease. Additionally, we need to improve our disposal methods; simply putting trash in bins is not enough. We should recycle materials or find new uses for them. At the very least, we should choose better places to dispose of waste instead of leaving it on the beach. As of today, an average of 7.4 million kilograms of trash have been removed from our oceans. With this amount of harmful substances collected, we can collect billions of tons of trash in just a decade.

So, in conclusion, while yes, trash on the beach is a huge problem, with the correct treatment, it can be solved.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you know that there will be an estimated 75 to 199 million tons of plastic waste in the ocean in 2025? Much trash is dumped into the sea because of people's irresponsible actions. From this, people ask the question of how we can solve this problem-water pollution.

Firstly, we have to understand what trash on the beach is. Speaking in easy to understand terms, trash on the beach is the waste that people dump on the beach. The reason for this is the combination of convenience, cost, inadequate waste management systems, and indirect pathways like storm drains and rivers.

Nowadays, trash in the ocean-water pollution-is causing many problems. To marine life, trash is causing so many sea creatures to die by getting eaten. By absorbing plastic bags or other kinds of waste, sea creatures will die. This is because trash will make them not feel hungry, and it will lead them to malnutrition. To people's lives, ocean trash affects them by contaminating the food chain through ingested micro plastic and toxic chemicals. Therefore, people will get various health issues such as hormonal and reproductive problems, developmental issues in children, and an increased risk of cancer and other chronic diseases.

There are many solutions for this problem, but almost all of them require practical action. One of them is propagating people about the importance of living consciously with the environment. Through lessons in schools or collective movie screenings, people can propagate each other. Therefore, their consciousness will increase and will make life better. Another solution is reducing the plastic use by applying higher production taxes on plastic bags. Because of this, companies and factories will decrease the productivity, and fewer plastic bags will be produced. Therefore, the usage of plastic bags will greatly decrease, and the environment will be cleaner.

In sum, trash in the ocean is a huge problem that people have to deal with nowadays. However, their solutions will not be effective if they are not done by particular actions in the society.

Among the many inventions that have changed human life, the computer stands out as one of the most influential. It has reshaped communication, science, education, and the way people work, becoming a cornerstone of modern society. However, despite its enormous impact, the computer was not created by a single inventor. Instead, it is the result of decades of innovation contributed by many pioneers. In the 19th century, Charles Babbage introduced the concept of a mechanical calculator, and Ada Lovelace wrote the world's first computer algorithm for his machine. More than a century later, in the 1930s, Dr. John Vincent Atanasoff and his assistant, Clifford Berry, designed the Atanasoff–Berry Computer (ABC), the first electronic digital computer. Together, their efforts laid the essential foundation for the powerful computers we use today.

The birth of computers can be traced back to Babbage’s Difference Machine of the 1820s, a machine designed to automatically calculate mathematical tables. Although it was never completed in his lifetime, it introduced the fundamental ideas of input, processing, and output – principles that all computers still use. Over 100 years later, these ideas finally became a reality when electronic computers were developed. The first models, such as the ABC and ENIAC, were huge, room-sized machines built with vacuum tubes. Their main purpose was to solve complex calculations faster than a human could. Over time, engineers introduced important advances such as transistors, microchips, and integrated circuits, which made computers smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient. Because the invention of computers took place over many generations, historians agree that there was no single “true creator.” Instead, each pioneer played a role: Babbage is remembered as the “father of the computer,” Ada Lovelace as the “first programmer,” and Atanasoff and Berry as the creators of the first electronic digital machine. Their combined contributions shaped the development of modern computing.

Overall, computers have changed human life more profoundly than almost any other invention. They have increased productivity, improved global communication, and opened up entirely new areas of work and research. Their long history of collaboration shows that technological progress comes from the efforts of many brilliant minds. As computers continue to evolve, they will remain an essential part of everyday life and the future of human development.

The creation of mobile phone is a great leap of its era as it opens a door for humanity to generate a modern future. But not many people know the first model of mobile phone are very simple and hard to use.

The first development of mobile phone is invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 and it could only transmit simple voice messages through wires. Over time, engineers improved the quality of sound and expanded the distance signals could travel. In the modern days, mobile phones allow people to communicate without being close to. With the significant improvement, smartphones which combined calling functions with computing technology. It can access the internet, take high-quality photos, and run countless applications, turning the phone into one of the most used utility in the meantime.

Because of its modern capabilities, phones bring many significant advantages to human life. First, it allows us to communicate faster. With just a few taps, people can call, message, or video chat with others anywhere in the world. Second, it helps us to learn almost everything. From complicated math problems, fixing coding errors, feedback for presentation to tips for starting a business. Moreover, mobile phones allow us to gain access to various information, helping students study more easily and allowing people to stay updated with world events. Lastly, it helps us to entertain after hard times. Platforms like Youtube, Facebook or Tiktok are popular for contents that lighten our mood and regain energy after studying or working.

In short,  mobile is an invention that has evolved continuously and brought countless benefits to modern society. Through its development and advantages, it is clear that the phone has changed human life and will continue to shape the future.

Every era in history is defined by its technology, but few inventions have reshaped society as thoroughly as Johannes Gutenberg’s printing press in the 15th century. Before this revolutionary machine, books were painstakingly copied by hand, making them incredibly expensive, rare, and accessible only to the clergy and the elite. Knowledge, therefore, remained locked away, hindering widespread education and scientific progress. The printing press, utilising movable type, changed this reality almost overnight.

Gutenberg's genius lay in standardizing the process of reproduction. By allowing pages to be printed quickly and consistently, the cost of books plummeted. This sudden availability of affordable reading material triggered a massive surge in literacy across Europe. People who had previously relied on oral tradition or church sermons could now read texts for themselves, including scientific treatises, philosophical works, and, most famously, the Bible.

The press acted as a powerful catalyst for change. It was instrumental in the Protestant Reformation, allowing revolutionary ideas to spread rapidly and challenge established authority. Furthermore, it standardized and accelerated the sharing of new discoveries, laying the groundwork for the Scientific Revolution. The ability to disseminate information widely and quickly meant that ideas could be tested, refined, and built upon globally, transforming disparate local knowledge into a cumulative, global intellectual project. Without the printing press, the modern, informed world we live in would simply not exist. It didn't just print words; it printed progress.

In the modern world, technology has become a crucial part of everyday life, but this may not be true if it weren’t for one life-changing invention, Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi was first created in 1942 by Hedy Lamarr and George Antheil. Though Wi-Fi is an important and extremely complex invention, something that most people believe was started by experts, Hedy was a well-known Hollywood actress, and George Antheil was a musical composer. Showing that even the greatest inventions have unexpected contributions. Their Wi-Fi operated through a receiver and radio switch, alternating between different radio frequencies with perfect synchronization, making the signals nearly impossible for the system to fail or for enemies to intercept.

Their Wi-Fi used a receiver and radio switch to switch between different radio frequencies in perfect synchronization, making the signals almost impossible for the system to collapse or for enemies to intercept. Though it was not modern Wi-Fi, it influenced modern wireless connections. In 1997, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers created the standard Wi-Fi, and its chair became known as the “Father of W-fi”. But the Wi-Fi we know today was created by an Australian science team known as CSIRO, which included notable figures, especially John O’Sullivan. Their invention started with a space project, which was studying supernovas, but the signals they received were hard to detect and disorganized, which left them no choice but to develop a way to process these signals better. So they invented an algorithm that improved the signals, and eventually, this algorithm became the modern Wi-Fi we know today. When the CSIRO saw the potential for their new creation, they applied for a patent, bringing the recognition that Wi-Fi possesses today.

In conclusion, there are many revolutionary inventions known to mankind, but Wi-Fi has brought more to our lives than many of these creations.

Do you know that the world's longest lasting light bulb has been used for over a century? Light bulbs are part of the indispensable parts in people's lives. Moreover, they were known as an invention that changed people's lives.

Light bulb is a multi-inventor invention, starting with Humphry Davy's first electric light in 1802 and Joseph Swan's early long-lasting version in 1878. Then, the first commercially viable incandescent light bulb was invented by Thomas Edison in 1879 using carbonized bamboo filament that could last for over 1200 hours. Until now, light bulb was upgraded for more convenience and less energy usage.

There are many reasons for people to agree that light bulb is an invention that changed their lives. Bringing light to them is the main reason that shows why light bulbs are important. Before it was invented, people were not able to work when the sky went dark, and their productivity was low. However, when light bulbs were invented, life on Earth hugely changed when people were then able to work at night time. Moreover, many digital devices nowadays are developed from this because they can also produce light.

Although light bulb is an influential invention, its mechanism of action is very simple. An electric current that goes through the filament and burns it makes the bulb glow. However, the filament light bulb often uses much electricity, so people have developed them into the ones that have higher efficiency. For example, LED lights, which stands for "light-emitting diode", is a type that uses a semiconductor chip to produce light when an electrical current passes through it. This kind of light-producing technology uses and wastes much less energy than the filament ones do.

In conclusion, light bulbs play an extremely important role in people's lives by bringing light to them and increase their productivity. Moreover, it also have and interesting multi-inventor history of developing with many kinds. In the future, I think more kinds of them with more efficiency will be produced by scientists and experts.

Nowadays, one of the most useful and life-changing inventions is technology, which soon comes to many different gadgets that have their own role, bringing mostly benefits to society. However, it is only one of the other outstanding inventions, including from the past, which also has similar impacts on each person’s life. Among them, one of the most well-known inventions that has been mentioned and included in daily life, is the light bulb. This small, bright object may seem like it can be simply made in an amount of time, however, its origin was made from an impressive, passionate story that led to an object that has a significant impact on society, along with various benefits that show its importance in being created.

Light bulb was invented in 1879, by an inventor and businessman named Thomas Edison (Thomas Alva Edison). Although it may seem simple from outside, inside it was challenges, obstacles blocking its journey. The story starts back around 1878, which was when Thomas Edison decided to create the light bulb. And even though it seemed simple to make, he failed to create the light bulb one thousand times due to countless mistakes and obstacles, just to get one perfect result that provides positive effect on society. Despite all the hard times and challenges he had to go through, his dedication and passion in making it has led to creating one of the most crucial inventions along with becoming an inspirational inventor. Until now, light bulbs don’t only come in the usual spherical-like shape with curly strings inside, they can vary from being put in a lamp, to long LED lights as well as other kinds, which each can be used depending on the person’s purpose to fulfill it and benefit them in that situation.

With the newly made invented light bulb, it has also carried life-changing effects on the daily activities in life. The light bulb plays a crucial role in providing light for a longer amount of time. Back then, people would often use candles as their light source to do their activities and work easily, by lighting the top thread with fire and putting near the person to be able to see clearer and work better. However, with no protection from the outside, it can easily be put off by natural occurrences such as wind or even us accidentally blowing it away, making it difficult to maintain the light for a long time. Therefore, this is when light bulbs come in handy for these uses. With a glass layer protecting the string inside, along with using electricity to generate the light instead, people can work even better and longer than usual, as it can stay lit up only until we turn the switch off. Another impact that light bulbs have is increasing safety along with productivity in people’s work. We can clearly see that with a longer amount of time working, people’s productivity will improve a lot more than before, contributing to improving society as well. However, the other impact that truly has a significant impact is improving safety in work. Since candles often expose fire in the environment, just a simple shift to the person near it or even materials that are flammable can cause chaos and disasters that harm both the environment as well as people’s health. Whereas the light bulb can ensure distancing and prevent these situations from happening more than before, making sure that people will be able to work safely in a longer amount of time. Additionally, with an invention that has an importance in people’s daily lives, companies that produce light bulbs will start to be created increasingly, along with making tons of light bulbs and selling those products, leading to increasing both their business and contributing to the country’s economic growth.

In conclusion, light bulbs are one of the most well-known inventions that left a significant and life-changing impact on society until now. There are not always many inventions that have been fully recognized and acknowledged by many people, however, each invention has its own value along with a meaningful story behind it, that can show its own importance in the situation, as well as its uses and benefits for people. Therefore, we should also appreciate the work of others, no matter how simple it may look, it still left a significant impact on people’s daily lives.

Nowadays, pollution has become a common problem, especially in rapidly changing places. While other types of pollution affect many different things to a limited extent, noise is often considered something unpleasant, but in fact it can seriously affect our lives as streets and cities become more crowded, traffic jams and construction work take place everywhere, making the environment increasingly noisy and starting to put pressure on the community.

Noise has become a big problem when it comes to affecting human health. When we are exposed to loud sounds for a long time like the sound of motorbikes, trucks or a plane, we can have trouble sleeping, stressed out and tired easily. After an amount of time this condition can lead to a higher risk of disease, especially cardiovascular disease. For students, their learning becomes more difficult when the environment around them is too noisy and for workers, both their concentration and productivity are reduced if they are exposed to noisy environments for too long. Therefore, noise pollution is not only affecting health but also the quality of their abilities. But we still have a solution for it by implementing regulations to control noise from the environment such as constructions must be comply with fixed hours. Moreover, cities should also plant more trees to create noise reduction barriers and improve public safety to make the environment less noisy. However, people also need to change their habits by some of these simple actions to reduce noise for example are turning down the speaker’s volume at home or install soundproofing materials to both reduce the noise.

In conclusion, noise pollution is a real problem that affects health and daily life. However, with better policies and community cooperation, we can create a quieter and more comfortable living environment for everyone, combined with raising awareness of noise problems, noise pollution can be reduced more significantly.

Noise pollution is a growing, yet frequently ignored, environmental hazard that profoundly affects our daily lives, particularly within densely populated urban landscapes. Unlike visible pollutants, noise is an invisible stressor that infiltrates our environment through the constant sounds of human activity. The non-stop roar of traffic, the persistent hammering from construction sites, the takeoff and landing of airplanes, and loud industrial operations all contribute to an excess of sound energy. This relentless sonic bombardment isn't just an annoyance; it is a physiological disruptor. For humans, chronic exposure, even to moderately high levels of noise, is linked to serious health issues, including elevated stress hormones, persistent sleep disturbances that degrade overall well-being, increased risk of hearing damage, and even cardiovascular problems like hypertension. It forces our bodies into a perpetual state of alertness. Furthermore, wildlife suffers significantly, as excessive noise interferes with their ability to communicate, navigate, hunt, and successfully reproduce, pushing species away from vital habitats. Mitigating this problem requires thoughtful urban planning, such as implementing noise barriers and promoting quieter electric vehicles, combined with a collective shift toward conscious listening and personal efforts to reduce unnecessary sound, ultimately paving the way for a more peaceful and healthier existence for all.
