Why adults are better learners than kids (So NO‚ you’re not too old) Kids are great! I was an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher for several years in several countries‚ teaching mostly children‚ and I could see how quick they were at learning a second language. Of course‚ who of us doesn’t want to go back to our childhood‚ when things were simpler and the world was full of endless possibilities (which too many people claim it somehow isn’t any more…)? Along these lines‚ one of my favourite

dictatorship than a weak democracy Pros of having a dictatorship include: No elections‚ imagine not having to deal with all the political rhetoric‚ you already have your leader for life. Difference in opinions is ubiquitous and inevitable‚ and arises on every topic. For every opinion one man may have‚ there will always be another man opposing him (look at this debate‚ for example) and this may not always end well‚ maybe even resulting in potential Civil Wars. With a dictator‚ you have one ruler‚ one

A Better Philippines Is it just a vision or “the future”? Thesis statement: Almost each of us has a vision for our poor country. But the problem is most of the time it just remain a mere vision. So the question is; would it just remain our vision or it’s going to be the future of this country? The main problems found in the Philippines are (randomly): economic crisis‚ graft and corruption in the government‚ poor kind of education on most part of the country‚ low rate of employment

uncomfortable truth is better than a comfortable lie. People do not want to live a life that is false‚ phony or somehow an illusion. This concept is explored in Peter Weir’s 1998 film The Truman Show and Arthur Miller’s classic play Death of a Salesman. The Truman Show explores one man’s struggle to uncover the truth about the world he lives in. In Death of a Salesman‚ the responder witnesses the unfolding of one man’s struggle as he comes to terms with an uncomfortable truth (one which he has avoided

“Better a lie that soothes ‚ than a truth that hurts.” The quote “better a lie that soothes‚ than a truth that hurts” means that it’s better to lie rather than to tell the cold hearted truth. I disagree because if you lie then when the time comes to tell the truth the lies will hurt way more than what it would have been before. Lying only leads to more lying. If you lie once and someone calls you out on that lie then you have to create a bigger lie. You have to adapt to that lie and understand

Women Make Better Leaders than Men The debate between the supremacy of the genders has been in session since time immemorial. In the past‚ it would seem that men had the upper hand but these days‚ women are starting to leave their mark in many aspects from business to politics rather than just domestic affairs. In my opinion‚ both men and women have the potential to be great leaders but the question of ’better leaders’ does not lie in a person’s gender alone but his or her innate character

MEN CAN BE BETTER THAN WOMEN IN PARENTING “The body of a man is designed to only father a child‚ not nourish him” said an eminent child psychologist Mr Edward Hayes at the children health and Hygiene congress in Malibu islands in 1962. Lot of water has flown down the Sienne since the statement was endorsed by the 200 doctors collected at the venue. Now the world has changed. the views have changed. And so have the trends.

bottle of water. When was the last time you were not able to access a clean bottle of water? Hard to think of a time‚ right? Tap water can be very hazardous especially in developing countries and many people are not in favor of it. Bottled water is better than tap water because of its convenience and time saved. Bottles of water are also safer to drink unlike many parts of the world who don’t have access to clean water in general. So‚ to make this clear and simple the convenience of bottle watered out

Abstract Why women make equal or better leaders than men. Just the thought that women make equal or better leaders than men stirs an immediate controversy. Both men and women know they will offend or step on many toes‚ especially those men who believe that it’s a man’s world. Everything considered equal‚ consider the thought. Although there are not any concrete studies on domestic leadership‚ there are examples throughout history that suggest‚ at least without her support‚ his career may

Which is better—Coke or Pepsi? Chocolate or Vanilla? Conventional food or Organic food? Wait‚ what? It’s easy for us to form answers from our own opinions‚ but not from scientific research. Your best friend might love Pepsi‚ but you could be an adamant supporter of Coke. There is no true evidence that chocolate is better than vanilla. The same applies to food. No one can prove scientifically that organic food is better than conventional food. That’s not to say that regular food is unhealthier or
