Students should be given more freedom in deciding school rules
Students should not be given more freedom in deciding school rules. School rules are what make up school. Without a set of good school rules, then imagine what the students of the school will become. School rules are what the Ministry of Education feels what each student should obey and follow.

Does nuclear energy still have a part to play in the world?
Nuclear energy still have a part to play in this world. As global warming is getting more and more serious in our Earth right now, this is where nuclear energy comes into place. Nuclear power generators emit relatively little carbon dioxide. This is the main advantage as there are more and more carbon dioxide given out into our atmosphere which causes the green house effect- main cause of global warming. Nuclear energy is also readily available. We do not have to wait for it to be developed before we can start using it. This saves a lot of our time. Time is equal to money. Hence, we are saving money too. Much nuclear energy can also be generated in just one single plant. In this case, we do not have to build more plants just to produce the same amount of nuclear energy. This saves space. Nuclear energy is also one of the safest way of producing energy. Each year, 10,000 to 50,000 Americans die from respiratory diseases due to the burning of coal, and 300 are killed in mining and transportation accidents. In contrast, no Americans have died or been seriously injured because of a reactor accident or radiation exposure from American nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plants need little fuel, so they are less vulnerable to shortages because of strikes or natural disasters. Many countries had built or wants to build nuclear plant due to the advantages above. Therefore, nuclear energy still have a part to play in the world.

War - Personal Response
This photo depicts a scene of a few bony children with bloated tummies due to malnutrition as they were suffering from starvation and hunger. They are as thin as bamboos, with bones clearly visible. One of the girl is staring into space in despair, looking dejected. She is holding a tiny tin can which I suppose is the only food left for her. She is counted as more fortunate than the other people as at least she has clothes on though they rugged and tattered. Her hands are like those of witches, long and bony. Those little children are totally bare from head to toe. One of the children there had hands placed above his head, looking around hopelessly. He looks so frail, skinny to the extent that his ribcage is visible but his tummy is bloated like a balloon. They are standing in front of a run down house. These children are suffering from the disastrous effects of war.
