Requiring university students to take a variety of courses outside their major fields of study is the best way to ensure that students become truly educated.

The statement claims that universities should encourage students to take up variety of courses outside their major field of study for becoming truly educated .As for aquiring more and more knowledge they should take more courses other than their major field. It is true that for aquiring knowledge we should study diversed courses other than our major field to become truly educated. Nevertheless its true that student might not be interested in studying courses other than their major courses which could lead to undesireable consequenses. Attending or learning various courses does not mean that student could get truly educated without deep thinking.
However in my viewpoint the study of various courses could help us gain diversified knowledge other than our major course. As the person with various knowledge could be very much useful than the person having limited knowledge. These different courses would help us in enrich our knowledge through divesified learning as knowledge is more important than the grades which we attain in our exams. Thorough learning is a useful thing which helps us in fruitful results in our life.
One of my beleif is to become truly educated is we must not limit our self as learning different things would always help us in our life. As in a case my major filed are mechanical and i took literature as the additional subject which not only helped in the exam by preventing me to do grammatical mistakes but i also learnt about prominent writers and their masterpiece in the english field. As here through english literature gave the edge from learning differently and made me much more about my major course.
Another reason for my belief is somewhat unrealistic that students sometime wants some change from their major subject it also helps them not to get bored from their major subject so different course could help it out for student in effective learning. As a result by learning the different course would definitely broaden the vision of the student which helps to become truly educated and gain knowledge other than their field.
On the contrary the it would not be feasible that student would not like to learn a different subject other than his major subject as some of student just want to get credits by studying proir to exam by burning midnight oil of cane are not refered to as truly educated. If they take up other subjects they are not able to give a suitable time to their major subjects which could loose their marks in their particular subject .As an example the science student has no use of learning history for future as just its not useful for him.
At the end i would like to conclude that the students who wish to aquire or learn different knowledge could be benffited by the above statement as they are able to learn certain new different things and gain appropiate knowledge to become truly educated which could be very much helpful for their future.

ISSUE TASK: Government should offer a free university education to any student who has been admitted to a university but who cannot afford the tuition.
Education is a powerful weapon which can transform the world. Universities not only help in enhancing mental aptitude or knowledge of a person but also lead to all-round development & growth, shaping & focussing the career. Education is the right of every citizen and should not be biased on the basis of gender, caste, religion & social status.
Given the rise of cost of education and increase in middle class family strata, it is becoming more and more difficult to attain a high level of education. So I believe government should offer a free university education to any student who has been admitted to a university but who cannot afford the tuition fee. Since there is upsurge in education costs, middle class and below average people get deprived of education and thus increasing the gap between the various levels of society. Government spending on education will bring fruit in another sense. There will be a spurt of engineers, doctors, lawyers and trained professionals which will eventually lead to development of the nation as a whole.
Government exempting the people from tuition fee will have benefits manifold. Many students who withdraw themselves from schools & universities and start working will eventually seek higher education- especially those who have merit but not funding. With sound education they will contribute to the welfare of society and crime rate will fall rapidly.
On the other hand government has to spend lavishly on laboratories, advanced technology and research projects. This will definitely affect the salaries of staff and overall working of the university. Quality of education may drop, and thus policy makers will have to handle the situation with greater care. In nutshell, I would like to say that exempting meritorious students from tuition fee will bring forth more number of professionals, more research work, more doctorate degrees and masters education but on careful scrutiny it can be said that an enormous amount of money and energy will be required to accomplish this task. So policy makers must ruminate before executing this law.

ISSUE: A NATION SHOULD REQUIRE ALL ITS STUDENTS TO STUDY THE SAME NATIONAL CURRICULUM UNTIL THEY ENTER COLLEGE

A nation is largely dependent on the younger generation for its sustained growth in the future. Education is the key element which defines their career. A curriculum is a defined set of courses and subjects laid by an authority which is followed by their affiliated institutions. A nationl curriculum, on the other hand, is a standard list of all the courses to be followed in a particular institution. The need for having a common national curriculum is of paramount importance as it greatly affects the process of learning.
Students are often discriminated on the basis of their institution- public and private. If there is a common national curriculum then students belonging to any one of the institution will not get an unfair advantage over the others in terms of the knowledge and exposure because of their same curriculum. This will ensure a common basis for evaluation when seeking admission in a college for further education.
There are often times when students from different institutions work together to carry out their academic projects. The scope of knowledge and proper understanding of a particular subject is then required for the successful completion of such a project. Under these circumstances, same curriculum will facilitate all the students to participate and hence ensure an equal opportunity to each one of them. In that way students can carry out any academic work with better coordination and compatibility.
A curriculum, on the other hand, should be judiciously prepared while keeping in view of all the essentials required to be included in the education of these youths. A committee comprising of experienced professionals of all the fields should be incorporated in the eduacation department specifically for the drafting of a curriculum. Their knowledge and expertise will help in devising a suitable curriculum of proportionate courses. Keeping all the things in mind, a national curriculum should address the various needs and demands of the present and should be dynamic in nature.
A well devised national curriculum will therefore help in the addresal of all the issues which might arise in its absence and will cater to the needs of the individual student, giving him an equal and just opportunity to pursue his further education with ease and interest.

"Government should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research and development."

Researches are stepping stones towards determining the growth and development rate of any nation. In this globalized economy, no country can't stay in isolation, thus to meet the emerging changes timely researches are conducted by authorized committees so that the government, indirectly the citizens of country, can take benefit from new growth and development patterns.

Government is potent factor in initiating, finalizing the concept, budgeting any new research program. But the government should try to restrain itself from interfering into the ongoing functioning, since the personnel who have been recruited for a particular project are indeed specialists of that core area and understand the pros and cons of situation pretty well. At times, the government official having minimal or even no knowledge about the process questions the researchers, this somehow creates a complex situation as in a way they are doubting towards the perfectionism or loyalty of those scientists; this in a way causes a blow to their self-esteem and thus they start losing their interest in the project.
Also, government being the ruling hand, as it is giving financial aid to such programs, sometimes cut down the budget or intervene in their expense related matters, this slow down the pace of the work and leads to mere wastage of time and money. Thus, government needs to restrict itself from intervening into these ventures as this will create only chaos in the work environment.
On the other hand, in absence of any government check, the national security of any country is at stake since the researchers or scientists can misuse the technology or scientific coding for their personal monetary benefits. In such a case, role of government becomes more crucial as it has to work as a "watch-dog" to keep an eye on every functioning inside the four walls of laboratories.
Also the funding for such programs is done by using the taxes- that are further a part of hard earned money of citizens. In a way, the government has to be answerable for spending every penny to native of its state. The government needs to appoint certain educated and trained professionals as subordinates or team-mates in such ventures so as to assess the functioning of every movement.
I firmly believe that keeping a minimal check is of utmost importance, since when the question is regarding national security government can't ignore its role. Essential surveillance teams must be formulated that doesn't intervene in the functioning of research programs but monitor all the actions in a positive manner.

Any leader who is quickly and easily influenced by shifts in popular opinion will accomplish little.

Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.

Leaders, representative of people, play an important role in political, cultural and social aspect of a nation. Today, where almost every country and organization is practising democratic principles, the responsibility of these leaders have been increased as they are supposed to strike a balance with the evolving technological-scientific needs and mingling up of existing thought patterns altogether. Thus, the importance of leaders can't be denied.

A leader is a role model as he/she assesses resources in hand and then distribute them for their efficient use to get best out of it. But if he/she is influenced by the change in public opinion that will lead to a chaotic situation. He has to be vigilant-who can foresee the coming problems, creative- to allocate the factors to get best possible out of it and of convergent thinking- so that he can take the necessary decisions at apt time without getting pressurized from external thoughts or views. If he/she easily changes his ideology, principles then people will loose their trust in him/her. Thus, leader has to be a person of firm determination and clear vision.

Conisder the case of father of nation of India- Mahatma Gandhi- During the pre-independence era, some other school of thought emerged up that used violent measures to fight against British Government. Even at that time Gandhi remain engrossed with his principles of truth and non-violence. His Dandi March, Quit India Movement, Satyagraha etc sensitized the British Empire about the power of a fragile human being. What if he would have changed his values, the people would never have considered him as a national hero. He himself understood that 'its is easier to preach than to practice' , that is the reason even after facing many hardships he remained determined. People like Nelson Mandela, Kofi Anan, Mother Teresa not only set examples for future but also act as an exemplary for their contemporaries. Thus, a leader should never get fluctuated but has to take consistent efforts to attain the prosperity of nation and public support with him.

However, we can't deny the fact that 'change is the law of nature'. With the passage of time, a society changes its norms, values, principles and thus demand for a shift in the ideology of their leader. In such a case, if leader is not supporting their views, will lead to public aggression. Since leader is representative of people, he has to give a patient ear to listen their views and support with true spirit so that natives can relate with their leader. Consider Adolf Hitler, Stalin etc- leaders having autocratic attributes are considered as the most negative personalities in the World. Leader is not to give verdict but to encourage the participatory tendencies with the common people so that he can connect with the people well. the seminars, brain-storming sessions, conferences etc are arranged now-a-days to provide a common platform where every individual can put forward his valid ideas and thoughts.

In this regard, the chief minister of Indian state AndhraPradesh- Mr. Chandarbabu Naydu played a tremendous job. He dedicated one hour of his schedule to the natives of state so that people can directly contact him and tell about the exact problems. Any venture has a multi directional aspect in which 'rule of one' can never be justified. Hence, the leaders should try to change their manifestos or existing values according to valid demands of society.

In a nutshell, I can conclude that leaders are indeed a precious element for any organization or nation as their personalities reflect the basic ideology of institution. Their knowledge base has to be vast to differentiate between the reasonable and unreasonable demands and decisions has to be flexible enough to mould accordingly.
