Was life for young people in Malaysia better in the past than it is today??

Was life for young people in Malaysia better in the past than it is today??

Clarification of terms
-life: standard of living/ way of life
-young people: children, teenagers, young working adults
-better: comparative term>>> one is superior to the other
-past: period which is not recent

Possible points

Yes, life for young people in Malaysia was better in the past than it is today 

  • Life was less stressful and moved in a slower pace.
  • Higher stress is linked with not only physical but also psychological ailments like depression, hence the incidences of young people committing suicide due to inability to cope with studies, relationships, etc.
  • Work: The working environment was less competitive. Today, though jobs are more specialised, the truth is people need to be able to multi-task in order to stand out among others.
  • The cost of living is lower in the past as compared to the present.
  • Young people were contented with the simple pleasure and entertainment in life.


Yes, life for young people in Malaysia is better today than it was in the past.

  • Due to globalisation, Malaysia is influenced by trends in other parts of the world and has become more opportunities now. There are more opportunities open to different sectors of the youth population.
  • Education: Many educational initiatives introduced to empower the young in this modern age.
  • The standard of living is higher today.
  • Ease of spending: many young working adults own credit cards.
  • Though life may appear more stressful now, the range of entertainment and leisure activities that young people can choose to engage in has increased.
  • People are more able and willing to pamper themselves.


The word "failure" should never be used in education

The word failure should never be used in education.


1. There must be different definitions of intelligence and different indicators for measuring achievements and standards. It is unrealistic to expect students of different learning abilities to conform to standardised measures.

2. The impact of being labelled a failure may backfire or have a stigmatising effect that is hard to overcome.
Students might be psychologically scarred. This may slow down his or her future development ( academically, emotionally and socially).

The word failure can be used in education.


1, Being able to recognise and live through a situation when one has failed when one has failed will make the person tougher.

2. Failure prepares the person for the real world.


3. When people fail, it could be due to other reasons other than academic ability. These reasons can range from lack of preparation to poor language skills to a case of underestimating the demands of examination.


4. When the reasons for failure has isolated, it is easier for people to take remedial/ corrective measures to right the situation.
-Getting the person to acknowledge that his actions cause the situation will force him or her to take responsibility for such future situations.

Preserving the environment is more important than economic development

Preserving the environment is more important than economic development. Do you agree?


Agree: Preserving the environment is more important.

Points:

 1. Environment: levels of pollution are high; resources will be irreplaceable if depletion rates are not lowered.
-If the current levels of pollution are left unchecked, the planet may not be able to sustain life in a few generations' time.
-Economic development and affluence would be valueless then.
-The loss of clean air and water and the depletion of sources such as food and fuel, together with drastic climate changes will make survival very difficult, if not impossible.

2. Preservation of historical sites: Loss of culture and history.
-If sites and buildings of historical significance are sacrificed for the sake of new developments, part of the history and heritage of place will be LOST, and such loss is irreversible.
- People gradually lose their sense of history, identity and belonging as their city looks more and more like any other city which is bent on development and modernizing.

3. Demolishing old buildings may eventually cost society more than embarking on a new development
- Preserving old buildings can create more employment and increase local household income more than the building of new developments.
- The employment created can be of longer term benefits as related industries such as heritage tourism can flourish.

4.Disregarding environmental preservation affects economic growth
-How much society can sustain economic growth actually bears a co-relation to environmental preservation and prudence in the use of resources.
Environmental degradation can result in high costs to economic growth.
