Space exploration.

The mystery of outer space has always fascinated humanity. Nowadays, scientists from all over the world spend a lot of time and effort in order to explore this mystery. However, we still have other issues to concern about .This raises the question of whether we should keep developing space exploration, or concentrate on solving much more urgent matters first.

On the one hand, humans are very curious creatures, and Outer space is such an unknown, mysterious thing which might be containing breathtaking wonders. We might be very disappointed by letting such wonders remain unknown. Moreover, space exploration improves the quality of our life. For example: the GPS ,The Global Positioning System, that is commonly used today for navigation in private cars, was first invented for the use of space exploration.

On the other hand, space exploration is a very expensive business. Every little step in this field costs ridicules amounts of money, that could be invested in more urgent matters, such as the fight against terror or poverty. In addition, space exploration can be very dangerous. We can hear about a lot of cases in which young astronauts lost their lives tragically, while trying to explore space.

To conclude, space exploration is an important attempt to provide an answer for our growing curiosity, and I believe that even though it might be dangerous and too expensive, we should not let that fact kill our thrill of discovery. However, I do think that we should first concentrate on our more urgent issues, before investing so much effort into space exploration.

This is an excellent piece of work! (100)

Peer pressure

Peer pressure is a common phenomenon. Almost every one of us, teenagers and adults alike, are faced with complicated dilemmas, of whether or not to act as our peers do. Sometimes people choose to go blindly after the way their peers act, without even considering their own opinion or perspective. I believe that giving in to peer pressure like that is wrong.

Nowadays, we can hear about a lot of cases in which peer pressure influences people negatively. For example, we frequently hear about teenagers who are being dragged into using drags or drinking alcohol by their peers, and later regret it for the rest of their lives. The way I see it, if teenagers decide for themselves and don’t let others decide for them, they will prevent a lot of regretful actions.

Sometimes, peer pressure can be positive. For example, a lot of people start exercising and being concern about their health because of peer pressure. However, I still think that the fact that they do that just because others do, and not learn to think for themselves and distinguish between right and wrong is sad and problematic.

All in all, I believe that people should do what they think is right, and not let themselves be dragged by their peers into doing something they wouldn’t choose to do.

Very interesting and very well written, as always.(95)
