Are advertisements today less hones? Part 1 . Economy has always played an important role in our life and is the backbone of every country, in fact, the development of trade was the most crucial factor in emergence of civilized societies. Advertising is the first word that associates with trade, and numerous scholars are doing researches in order to elevate the advertising methods. One noteworthy question that arises is whether or not advertisements are true reflection of products abilities, or in the modern era that we are in they have become honest compared to past. I am inclined toward the opinion that advertisements today are more honest compared to the past. In what follows, I will further elaborate on my viewpoint. The most important aspect that I want to bring into attention is the information power that is gifted to people by the Internet. As a matter of fact, the paradigm of buying a new product has been revolutionized by the Internet. Nowadays, unlike the past, people do not rely solely on advertisements to find out about the features of the product that they intend to buy. They can easily find reviews of the product online, moreover they can read the opinion of the people who already have bought that specific product. In this clear and open context is it very hard and even risky for a manufacturer to lie about the true abilities of their products. For example, I wanted to buy a headphone from a very famous company, they claimed that their headphones were compatible with all Android phones, but when I read the reviews I found out that the headphone was incompatible with certain Android phones, including mine. I believe that company easily lost a potential costumer because of false advertising.

Help me rephrase the following sentence. "Many of the groups of animals that typify the filter-feeding lifestyle in shallow water have deep-sea representatives that have become predatory." I know the meaning of representative, but can't quite understand it in this context. Thank you

Which one is better? Getting advice from older people or your peers? Humans are social species and they depend on each other to evolve, I believe the most prominent factor that distinguishes us humans from other species is our ability to think and share our ideas. All of us have been in situations where we felt hopeless, and felt the need to seek advice from others. The question that is often asked, is whether one should consult with people who are older or the people of the same age. It should be mentioned that the answer to this question highly depends on the situation that the individual is in, for both groups can provide valuable insights in various occasions. However, generally speaking, I'm inclined toward the opinion of seeking advice from older people. In what follows I will further elaborate on my viewpoint. The most significant reason is that, I believe that history repeats itself in all ages. If we extend that idea to our personal life we can observe that, although the situations in each individual's live are quite unique, the core problems are the same. There ore, we can get help from people who were in the similar questions themselves. For example, it is true that parents are not quite familiar with the atmosphere of the schools their kids attend, but they still can help them with problems that they face like bullying, peer pressure, getting good grades, etc. To further illustrate this point I would like to share a personal experience; when I was getting ready for national university entrance exam, there was an overwhelming amount of pressure on me, at that time my father told me that I should not worry about outcome of the exam, and instead I should only focus on the efforts I devote to the exam. My father never sat for university entrance exam, but he helped me through experiences he had gained in similar situations. Another equally important reason is that older people, due to their great breadth of experience, have much broader horizons. Therefore they might predict consequences that a naive young individual might not be able to predict. Therefore, it is always a good idea to consult with them before making important decisions. Quite a long time ago, a friend of mine wanted to leave dormitory and rent a house off campus. The sole factor that he considered was managing to pay the bills and finding an income to cover the expenses. But, after he consulted his older brother, he was convinced that at that age it was not safe for him to rent a house off campus. [The rest is in the comments.]

Do you agree that people who live in urban areas can take better care of their families? Part II In addition to educational opportunities, people who live in cities have access to better health care facilities and better doctors. The hospitals in the cities are equipped with much more sophisticated medical equipment than hospitals in rural areas. There’s a general consensus that people who live in villages have less health related problems than the ones who live in the cities. The term “health” is most of the times associated with physical health, but I would like to put mental health into perspective. According to a recent study in Iran, the rate of depression is higher in villages than in cities. The study suggested that, now that people have easier access to information they are more exposed to the urban lifestyle than before, and consequently they get bothered by social gap that exists between them and middle class people who live in cities. To conclude, based on the arguments explored above, although life in the cities is not as peaceful and simple as the life in the villages, the benefit of opportunities that cities provide for its citizens outweigh the problems of the urban lifestyle. I believe it is fair to draw the conclusion that due to the wide variety of educational and health care facilities that exist in cities people can better take care of their families.

Do you agree that people who live in urban areas can take better care of their families? Part I With the transition of living environment from small villages to metropolitan cities came so many advantages and disadvantages. Nowadays with the recent advances in technology and the emergence of new fields of study more and more people are migrating to big cities. The question that rises is that, in which life style parents can take better take care of their children. I’m personally inclined to the idea that parents who live in cities can provide better environment for their children to thrive in. In what follows I will further elaborate on my viewpoint. The most important aspect to be considered is the numerous opportunities that exist in cities. Let’s take education opportunities as an example to further delve into. A kid that grows up in a city has access to wide variety of educational facilities for example, better school, colleges, sport clubs, etc. Not only that, when they graduate they’ll have better job opportunities. Therefore, it is easier for them to discover their true talents and thrive in that field. For example, I myself lived in a village in northern Iran, and a friend of mine in high school always wanted to become a director. But, since there was no art school near us, he couldn’t fulfill his dream of becoming a director, he ended up becoming a software engineer because we had limited options in choosing our study paths. Above all of that, since a lot of people from different parts of country with different cultural backgrounds come to live in the cities, children can benefit from the multicultural environment of the city and broaden their horizons had gain much more profound experiences than kids who live in small villages. The rest in part II.

Is it better to hold a big party and invite many people to come than a small party? The first question associated with throwing a party is the size of the party and if we should throw a big one and invite all the people we know, or instead throw a small one with only close friends and family members invited. I’m personally inclined to the idea of holding a small party in which only close friends and family members are invited. In what follows, I’ll further elaborate on my viewpoint. The most important aspect to be considered before arranging a party should be the atmosphere of the party. We all have different types of people as friends, for example workmates, classmates, childhood friends, cousins, and etc.; who might not get along with each other well. So, it might not be a good idea to invite all of them to the same party, since each group require different atmosphere. Also, if we insist on inviting all of them to the same party, they might feel uncomfortable due to the presence of the other groups, and there might be some awkward moments in the party. For instance I cannot imagine having both my college friends and my cousins in the same party. The reason is that they live in two different words. My cousins are farmers and they are in livestock business, while my college friends are mostly engineers. It shouldn’t be that hard to guess that these two groups have different tastes and interests. In addition to creating a better atmosphere, it is necessary for you as host to make every single guest feel welcome, and you should be able to attend to their needs. You have to be able to spend time with all your guests, so the less people you invite the more time you can dedicate to each of your guests. This way nobody feels left out, or offended. We should remember that, regardless of the amount of food and drinks provided in a party, it’s essential that guests feel that their presence is important, and the host is happy to have them around and enjoys their company. Last but not least, the lower number of guests provides more financial freedom for you, hence you can offer better services to your guests. You’ll be able to prepare better food, buy better drinks, and shower your guests with all kinds of snacks. I remember going to big parties where there were barely enough food to eat, let alone having fun eating delicious snacks. So, it’s important that we respect our guests by providing a decent meal for every single one of them. To conclude, .... (The rest is written in comment section.)
