Writing Feedback / A university education should be provided free of charge to all the interested [3]

Education is a channel to understand the real world better and whether this education should be provided to the students by the universities should be free or not, is one of the most debated topics over last many decades. In the today's fast growing civilization this education has become everyone's necessity to survive. Everyone understands the value of education in their lives; hence they compete hard to get the best of the education. So to give this education free to some students would be an injustice on the part of the others. Therefore, from my perspective education should not be given by the universities free of cost.

In my opinion, if the students will not pay for their education then who would pay for that, is a big question that requires an immediate solution. Thus it can create further confusions in the society. For example, if the government would pay for students' education then they will extract the money from public only by increasing the taxes and this can further complicate the situation.

Another reason is that to get education from good universities students usually take some kinds of loans, which I feel, make them more serious towards their studies and responsible so that they can clear the debts in future. Therefore, education received by giving money stands more value to them as they have sacrificed something to get that education.

The third reason is that the money universities take from the students is used by the universities for the upliftment of the university's standard only. The university utilize this money to pay the teachers, to introduce most recent advances in all the aspects of education like getting new equipments in laboratories, building new classes with more advanced technologies, new books for the libraries, new hostels etc.

Therefore , in my opinion universities should not provide education for free because the amount they get from the students is used for the welfare of the students only because it has been seen before also that universities that provide education for free are lower in standards compared to universities taking an appropriate amount of money from the students. I believe, that there is no good thing that we can get for free in the world.

Writing Feedback / GOOD NEIGHBOR (reliable, trustworthy, with a sense of humor) [3]

QUALITIES OF A GOOD NEIGHBOUR

Humans are the most socially active living creatures. It is very difficult for someone to live lonely by totally cutting himself from the society and therefore we are always surrounded by some neighbors. Some are vey positive while there are others who can really make your life miserable. I consider myself very lucky in this matter because our neighbors display the qualities that are close to ideal neighbors.

I live in a very populated region in the midst of city, in the contiguous apartments. The city is very fast-paced and my husband and I are both working from morning till late evenings. After a long hectic and exhausting working day when we come back we really expect to have a peaceful and relieving night at home. Our neighbors are very considerate. They never complicate the matter and are always ready to sit and calmly discuss the issues that are happening around in the society.

Good neighbors should be very reliable and trustworthy and that is the most admirable quality of our neighbors..Before leaving for work I always hand over the keys of my house to our neighbors so that when the helping lady comes, she can finish her job even in my absence. They are extremely good vigilant and always keep a watch when there is no one at home.

Good neighbors should be very helpful. In the times of need, they are sometimes the ones whom we can approach immediately. The friends and family may take time to reach when we are in need but neighbors are the first who can help us in case of any emergency.

Every individual has his own personal space. A good neighbor should understand that even overindulgence in the personal matters is not good. They should also not hamper others privacy every now and then and should understand that their activities are not disturbing people living next door.

In addition to this I feel that good neighbors should be very friendly, who can make you feel refreshed after a long hectic day and whenever you talk to them it soothens your mind. They should have a good sense of humor because people are these days so enervated and busy in their work that they rarely get time to do some recreational activity and if your neighbors help in off loading your burden by some means or the other, then I feel that nothing is better than that.

Writing Feedback / Schools should fund the classes and extracurricular activities with the same money [8]

Universities help in the students' overall growth and development. They have to focus on the all the aspects that can help in making their future. Therefore I feel that both the sports activities and the libraries have equal importance in the students' lives and both should be given equal funds by the universities for their upgradation.

Universities should promote and also encourage the students to make a balance between studies and games. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. A student who does not play at all becomes dull and unhealthy and also the student who does not study and only plays becomes ignorant and lacks in knowledge. To strike a fine balance between both the fields the universities have to promote the development of both the libraries and the sports facilities.

There are a few students who are more interested in sports while there are others who do extremely well in studies .Each and every student has his own talent and hence universities should focus equally on both types of students and should fulfill the requirements of both the sectors of the universities. In addition now- a-days many universities have sports as an subject . So these universities should essentially have a good sports infrastructure.

In today's competitive world the students have to study a lot to excel and to get a reputed and dignified status in the society. So it is essential for them to have a break from their busy academic schedule and sports is the best option to revitalize their strength.

Therefore I believe that it should be mandatory for the universities to provide an equal fund to both the libraries and sports activities because sports are essentially important in the students mental and physical development and in making their future.

Writing Feedback / "wisdom" that old people have - Knowledge gained from books or from experience? [8]

The real world knowledge can be gained in two ways by learning from books and also from personal experiences. In my opinion both the knowledge gained from books and the knowledge earned by real world experience have their own significances in different instances of life. We go to school, college and universities to learn from books, without that we will become illiterate and ignorant. Books are the great source of information based on the experiences of the others. Since we cannot experience everything in this world, there are plenty of things for which we have to rely on books only. But this is also a known fact that we cannot learn all the things from books. To further our knowledge we require both lessons learnt from books as well as from the experiences.

We require the information given in the books to attain a certain level to face the real world situations and only after experiencing that situation we can say that now we have a complete knowledge of this subject. Like I am a dental surgeon, so the universities make us read books in the initial periods of our academics and only after gaining the knowledge from texts we are allowed to work on real patients that basically happen in the final year of the graduation. But the most important and most difficult lessons are learned only after we land up in those situations. What books teach us is all theoretical and can be applied only in the most ideal situations and ideal situations are the rarest things occurring in a day to day life. The virtue of experience makes us an adept.

In addition to this, I strongly believe that the most important lessons in life are learnt through experience only, like the feeling of love, affection, sacrifice etc. is the things that we won't understand until and unless we experience them. We have to learn by experience to what is required to get along with the people or to gain self respect in the society. All these things are learned not by reading books but by experiencing. Therefore, I feel that both the means of information have their own importance in different aspects of life and we should learn from both.
