I personally believe that we should not be restricted from speaking out our point of views about certain topics. Our voices should be heard in order to implement change and improvements to whatever the challenges are.  For example, in politics, i think the public should also have a say in what the government intends to do to our country. Some people believe that freedom of speech in Singapore that is not allowed, as we have to ask for permission before rallying about our perspective or what we are against our concerns about social issues and in the government decisions. I think that as citizens of this country, we also should be heard so that we have equal rights and not just follow silently follow the general consensus / status quo despite not agreeing to what they decide

What does solitude mean? The majority would say that it refers to the period when one is alone. Being alone is not necessarily a bad thing. means to not be around anyone. This often allows a person to think and reflect about things that happened. Some may think being alone means one will feel lonely.

Therefore, i agree that it is good for a person to spend time alone. I think that spending time alone can help one work on themselves and reduce time socialising. Without spending time alone and always being around many people would not allow you to find your true self. “I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up all alone, it’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel alone” thus being said that, it is better being alone than being around people all the time.

Firstly, if a person do not have a place where they have privacy. It could lead to violent and aggressive behaviour for example in a case study done by a psychologist it was implied that prisoners have aggressive behaviour due to the constant surveillance and the sharing a cell with multiple of people which means they can’t have privacy at all . It was researched that a human being that has a place where they can be alone and unwind tends to be happier than the ones who don’t as they can reset their social battery and relax without worrying about others. Hence it is important for a person to spend time alone .

I could vividly remember the anticipation when I stood before the ice rink. My heart jumping up and down with acceleration. A bright grin was plastered on my face. I couldn't content my overwhelming eagerness to begin my fun. My older brother who came to accompany me in my fun, extend a helping hand in fastening my ice skates.

For me, a person will overcome the challenges in their life if they work hard for it . So I know someone who has inspired me to overcome my challenges. The person who had inspired me is ex head prefect anarkin. He has inspired me that in order to overcome the challenges in my life , I must not give up. For example,before he was head prefect for secondary school, he was actually vice head prefect in primary school. That shows that he had the drive to want to achieve more. By overcoming the challenges such as his other candidates , he led himself to the head prefect role . Therefore his achievement had inspired me to not give up that easily.

Freedom of speech is a way of expressing one's opinion of the doings of an individual or community. I think that freedom of speech should not be restricted in any way as this can help people going through the same situation to have a wider view of something so that information are shared and solutions can be improvised together. This allows people to know of something that is happening around them so that they can also share their view about the problem which can be used as feedback to the government or those in charge. Freedom of speech also allow for a change that is suitable and best for everyone. Hence, I think that freedom of speech should not be restricted for a bettee change for everyone.

However, some may argue that freedom of speech should be restricted as many people do not think when they speak.They do not think of the consequences or inconvenience that what they say brings to others.This may lead to people who speaks without thinking may cause people to feel uncomfortable or even offend them. thus, i think freedom of speech should be restricted to everyone as this will cause many people to not be able to cause any fights or conflict.

i disagree that fiction is able to teach us anything meaningful, because fiction might only reinforce current social stigmas. For example, James Bond is a well-known franchise about a spy that saves the nation while engaging in romantic relationships with different women. Despite its major success, the show has recieve an equal amount of criticism. Feminist critics worry that the show reinforces patriarchal norms in society as women are often portrayed as physical attractive but incompetent, objectifying woman in the process. However, due to the mass support towards the show, it stops people from question these social norms thus reinforcing these stereotypes. Hence, i believe that fiction does not teach us anything meaningful as it only reinforces stereotypes in society.

i agree that freedom of speech should not be restricted because then the government would not know the real views of their people and they would not know the real problems of their leadership. for example,there are racial discrimination against the african american in the us and the government are not doing much or anything about it this led to many african american to be unhappy with the government and this even led to protest which even the police had to get involved with it. thus, i agree that freedom of speech should not be restricted as it can help the government bring their people together after knowing what the conflicts between different races or cultures.

"No medicine cures what happiness cannot." Indeed, happiness is crucial for one’s life as sometimes it can do things medicines cannot. Even the smallest things or detail will spark a little bit of happiness enough to brighten up someone’s day. Personally, many things make me happy from eating my favorite dishes to watching my favorite shows. Little things like this can really turn a bad day of mine to a enjoyable and happy one.

fiction stories were made as a portal for people to unleash their thoughts which are not plausible in real life situations. It is also an escape for people who refuse to face reality. Although ideas in fiction stories maybe bombastic but it will white-wash one's ideology about reality and it will cause one to have misconceptions of the real world as time goes by. In actual fact, fiction stories are poor representations of the cruel reality and it is unequivocal that it will make one delusional about the hard truth of society

Fiction is literature in the form of prose, especially novels, that describes imaginary events and people. For example, Harry Potter, a fictional series written by the well-known J.K. Rowling, is about a special boy named Harry and his journey through Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The stories tell of him overcoming dangerous obstacles to defeat the Dark Wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed his parents when Harry was 15 months old. Throughout the series, Harry is faced with a different obstacle each school year. Harry had to endure so much in the series, and he persevered through all of it. Through this, he shows us that you can push through even the hardest times, bounce back and succeed. It’s an important life lesson as well. Therefore, I agree that fiction can teach us useful life lessons through the different problems characters in the story face.

Intro

Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction. While most countries have freedom of speech, there are still a handful that don't. Without freedom of speech countries may not be as united and equal in decision making, so I belive that freedom of speech should not be restricted in any way and instead be allowed in every way.

Fiction is works created from the imagination, not presented as fact, though it may be based on a true story or situation. Many of us should have been exposed to fictions before. Maybe in books for example the RunHideSeek collection by Gabby tye which talks about an apocalypse or in movies like Jurassic Park. Even though they discuss about scenarios that may never happen but it makes us rethink on our choices and usually teaches us a moral lesson. Therefore I think that fiction can teach us meaningful things about the real world.

Secondly, it’s good for a person to spend time alone since having an alone time would allow one to understand themselves much better,  they do not need to go hearing about their friends opinions to where to go to eat or hang out during that outing. Personally, when I’m  alone I felt a strong sense of freedom, I was able to find out more about my own passion and interest by trying out new things by myself without getting judge or pressure from my friends. Hence i felt is good for a person to spend time alone.

Reading fiction can teach us to be more caring and curious . For example in fictional stories a world and characters are develop so as the readers dive further into the book, watching the characters develop overtime. Readers come to understand how the stories changed the characters. As the reader reads more and more they developed care and curiosity, to what happens to the characters next and how it would change them.

Personally, i feel that fiction impacts us in many wonderful ways as it certainly did for me. Fiction allows us to learn crucial values. Examples include enhancing our moral understanding, developing a sense of empathy, broadening one’s creativity, or even aid in critical thinking. Hence, friction is capable in conferring us with various cognitive advantages. Recent research has shown that when we read fiction, we hone and strengthen several different cognitive muscles, so to speak, that are the root of emotional quotient (EQ). It will benefit us in the long run as EQ is essential in helping us build relationships, reduce team stress, and defuse conflict.

However, spending time alone all the time is not a good thing. While it may be good for someone to have time to be alone with their thoughts, I think it is crucial to communicate to others. According to Mayo Clinic Minute,

being socially connected with your friends and family is not only fun, but research also shows it benefits your mental and physical health. It can prevent feelings of loneliness, increase your sense of happiness and well-being, it may even help you live longer.
