PTE​ ​ESSAYS

1.​ ​Mass​ ​Media

Mass media plays a pivotal role in our life. Many people and businesses rely on these mediums
for their day to day transactions. On the flip-side it also bombards us with too much or unwanted
information. This essay will shed a light on various aspects of this issue. Newspapers, radio,
television, and the Internet—including e-mail and blogs—are significantly influential on our
society, especially in affirming attitudes and opinions that are already established. The news
media focus the public’s attention on certain personalities and issues, leading many people to
form​ ​opinions​ ​about​ ​them.

Mass media sets the news agenda, which shapes the public's views on what is newsworthy and
important. It is a system used by advertisement agencies and media outlets, such as television
channels and radio stations to "convince" their audiences to do or act in a certain way. It
appeals to the vulnerability of the desired target. For instance famous person or persons who
are recognized, admired by whole communities. These individuals have the "Power" to convince
their followers or fans into taking any kind of action or decision. Therefore, these famous people
usually are linked or work for some media outlet and are used, to influence the community
accordingly.

The media has changed significantly in the past years. Because of the availability of television
and radio all populations and classes have been exposed to various types of media. The
Internet has provided an even newer media resource. The majority of people live in a very
fast-paced society. They have very little time for reading and exploring the truth of information.
The producers of media publication are aware of this and use the media to influence public
choice and opinion. The problem lies in that many people are gullible and society as a whole is
easily influenced by the media representations. The media also responds to public demand and
provides​ ​the​ ​information​ ​that​ ​the​ ​public​ ​craves.

A positive aspect of the media’s bias has been that it has facilitated change in people’s
perception of races in a positive manner, exposed people to other cultures, made people aware
of environmental needs, and the needs of people far away. While there can also be negative
implications the media also has to reflect the public’s point of view. With the growing
representation of Hispanics, African Americans, and other minority groups, the media is under
pressure​ ​to​ ​present​ ​them​ ​in​ ​a​ ​more​ ​positive​ ​light.

2.​ ​Climate​ ​Change/Global​ ​Warming

Since last few decades, climate change is afflicting our planet severely. What really is the
proper role for individuals and institutions in addressing climate change? An immediate and
natural response may be that everyone should do their part. Yes, it's is the duty of the
government, companies, and individuals to reduce carbon emission to save the planet. This

,essay will outline the role of each party in combating climate change. First, as an individual, we
must significantly reduce the amount of heat-trapping emission we are putting into the
atmosphere. For example use of public transport instead of car or bike to commute to office
regularly​ ​by​ ​which​ ​we​ ​can​ ​save​ ​our​ ​own​ ​money​ ​and​ ​reduction​ ​in​ ​carbon​ ​dioxide​ ​emission.

Second the institutions or the company decisions affecting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, for
example, decisions by companies about how to produce electricity, as well as thousands of
other​ ​goods​ ​and​ ​services​ ​with​ ​less​ ​carbon​ ​emission.

Third and last to fully address the threat of global warming, we must demand action from our
elected leaders to support and implement a comprehensive set of climate solutions: such as,
expand the use of renewable energy and transform our energy system to a cleaner one. Place
limits on the amount of carbon that polluters are allowed to emit. Build a clean energy economy
by investing in efficient energy technologies, industries, and approaches. For example,
increasing in solar energy plants and a decrease in thermal power generation. Reduce tropical
deforestation​ ​and​ ​its​ ​associated​ ​global​ ​warming​ ​emissions.

Finally to conclude it is everybody responsibility to control the global warming to give better
future​ ​to​ ​our​ ​next​ ​generation.

3. Do you think consumers should avoid over-packaged products or is it the
responsibility​ ​of​ ​producers?​ ​(Discussion​ ​Essay)

A matter of considerable controversy at present is the issue of whether it is the responsibility of
consumers to avoid the over-packaged products. Some people maintain that the producers are
the ones who should be held responsible for this matter. Both sides of this contentious issue will
be​ ​put​ ​under​ ​scrutiny​ ​in​ ​this​ ​essay,​ ​and​ ​my​ ​opinion​ ​as​ ​to​ ​which​ ​holds​ ​more​ ​weight​ ​will​ ​be​ ​given.

To begin with, I will now consider what I hold to be the causes of this phenomenon. Packaging
ensures that people can buy and use products when they want them, in good condition and with
little wastage. However, it is undeniable that some goods have too much packaging. Moreover,
the packaged goods industry is highly competitive, and packaging manufacturers are under
pressure to come up with new and better packaging solutions to compete in their market. The
more resources the packaging needs, the higher the cost of the products and eventually,
consumers​ ​will​ ​have​ ​to​ ​bear​ ​that​ ​extra​ ​cost.

From consumers’ perspective, the packaging does not really matter for most buyers as what
they care about is the quality and the price of the products. From a personal experience, I am
not really concerned how the packaging actually looks as long as the item that I am purchasing
is what I need. In addition, it is worth pointing out that the packaging will be a waste of money
and investment no matter how good or how thick it is if the quality of the product does not meet
the​ ​requirement​ ​of​ ​the​ ​consumers.

, Taking these points into consideration, from a personal perspective, I am inclined to believe that
manufacturers are more responsible to avoid over-packaging the goods as it would be wasting
the​ ​consumers’​ ​money​ ​for​ ​no​ ​practical​ ​benefits.

4. Many people think that regions affect a successful person. What is your opinion about
native​ ​region​ ​and​ ​accomplished​ ​person’s​ ​influence​ ​on​ ​the​ ​region​ ​he​ ​belongs​ ​to

Whether one's success is very much dependent on his or her native regions is a debatable
topic. This essay will express complete disagreement with this statement and will offer reasons
for this viewpoint. To begin with, a variety of reasons can be offered to explain why I am not in
favour of this. Foremost among these, I believe that achieving success in life depends on many
factors such as determination, discipline, clear visions of your goals and ambitions, motivation
and most importantly hard work. Moreover, support from friends and family around you would
also play an important part in your journey to success. Although there is no doubt that being in a
good and cohesive environment is beneficial, a person who is disciplined and determined to
achieve​ ​his​ ​goals​ ​will​ ​find​ ​ways​ ​to​ ​his​ ​success​ ​no​ ​matter​ ​where​ ​they​ ​are.

Firstly to accomplish anything in life required immense hard work and commitment. Success
means earning a respectable position, monetary gains and secured future. Industrious as a key
has a lion's share in achieving success and remarkable position in the society. Moreover,
people those who have marked themselves as examples for others have burnt the midnight oil
for reaching desired positions. To illustrate, people like, Bill Gates, Ratan Tata, APJ Abdul
Kalam and list goes other eminent personalities are the perfect cases of successful leaders in
their​ ​respective​ ​fields.

To wrap up, the connection between people belong to native regions and accomplished forks
have a very small or trivial effect on overall success stories of any person. Basic fundamentals
will​ ​remain​ ​static​ ​and​ ​identical​ ​to​ ​earn​ ​a​ ​respectable​ ​position​ ​in​ ​this​ ​universe.

5. Company’s top-level authorities should get their employees in the decision-making
process.​ ​Discuss

Decision making is a crucial step in the success of a company. The moot question is that
whether the involvement of employees is required for the decision making process. The solid
foundation of any successful company is its people. Employees represent a source of
knowledge and ideas, but oftentimes that resource remains untapped. Involving employees in
the decision-making process not only empowers them to contribute to the success of an
organization but also saves the company time and money. It also increases productivity and
reduces​ ​outsourcing.

Improving Morale-Actively engaging workers in the decision-making process increases overall
company morale. Employees understand that their ideas are an important contribution to the
