  1. 1. **Technology & Screen Time: How Much is Too Much?**

    • Should kids have unlimited screen time, or should there be restrictions? Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of technology in daily life.

    Their small faces, once full of life, are now ghostly in the screen’s cold glow. Eyes wide, unblinking; seeing everything, yet nothing. Their hands, meant to hold, create, and reach for the world, now only swipe, tap, scroll. Do they hear the laughter outside? Do they feel the warmth of the sun? Hours vanish, childhood fades, replaced by endless, empty flickers. This is the true reality of screens in this present day.

    Students are spending way to much time on screens. They are becoming addicted. As they are chained to screens, they do not have time to study, resulting in negative performance at school. Not only only this but children may stay up late looking up at screens, reducing sleep. Also the blue light omitted from i-pads and electronic devices corrode vision, and makes it harder to sleep.

    We must add restrictions to save our future generations. I believe that for the restrictions, we should allow only fifteen minutes a day for entertainment. If the use of screens is because of education (Scholarly), than children should be allowed to use their screens till their lesson is over or homework complete.

  2. Technology & Screen Time: Finding the Right Balance
    Technology has revolutionized the way we learn, communicate, and entertain ourselves. While it offers incredible benefits—especially for kids, with educational apps, creative tools, and ways to stay connected—too much screen time can have negative consequences. Excessive use of devices has been linked to poor sleep, difficulty focusing, and even social withdrawal.

    Research suggests that children who spend more than four hours a day on screens are at a greater risk of anxiety, depression, and lower academic performance. Additionally, screen addiction can take time away from crucial activities like outdoor play, reading, and quality family interactions—all of which are vital for cognitive and emotional growth.

    That said, technology itself isn’t the enemy—it’s all about balance. Rather than eliminating screen time entirely, parents can set healthy boundaries and prioritize meaningful usage. Interactive learning platforms, educational games, and video calls with loved ones can be great tools, whereas mindless scrolling or endless gaming sessions should be kept in check.

    By fostering a balanced approach, kids can enjoy the benefits of technology without sacrificing essential life skills. Setting reasonable limits ensures they grow up tech-savvy, socially engaged, and mentally well.

  3. Sports and Competitions, should everyone get a trophy?

    You stand proud among a line of your teammates, yearning for the chance to get a trophy but to your utter shock and disappointment, you aren’t the recipient of any of those shiny metallic cups of glory. This leads into a controversial discussion, should everyone get a trophy? The clear and non controversial answer though is yes.

    Several children when competing in sports and competitions dream of the chance to be able to get a trophy. Most of these children don’t achieve their dream and this is very mentally damaging to them as it gives them a sense of not being “good enough” for the award. A study that surveyed about 40 participants of a local football competition showed that before the comp their spirits were high with confidence but once they didn’t get an award, they became less motivated to achieve their goal. With everyone receiving a participation trophy, people will still get rewarded. A participation trophy wouldn’t be the only trophy though as specific ones will be given to standout players but everyone will get a trophy nonetheless.

    Young children are having zero confidence and are having the wrong mindset all due to the fact that only select people receive trophies. With a participation trophy, everyone will be fulfilled and their confidence will remain high.

    Animal Rights: Should People Stop Eating Meat?

    Each year hundreds of people called vegetarians sustain a zero meat and insufficient protein diet due to “animal rights” that are non-existent. The truth is that people should be eating meat. It is in fact better for animals to eat cattle, chicken and other popular meat than not.

    Cattle, chicken and other domestic meat animals all share one trait, they were grown to be eaten. Most of these animals would have no purpose in their short lives other than eat and get eaten. Even if they weren’t killed, even using their other natural purposes wont work. For example, a cow that is raised to be eaten will produce little milk and will create very bad tasting milk too. The same goes with chicken. Chicken that are raised to be killed are normally very bad at laying eggs and their eggs are most of the time fertile meaning that they are completely inedible. Furthermore, some of these domestic food animals do harm to the environment. For example, cows fart very regularly. These farts are made of a concentrated gas of hydrogen, co2 and nitrogen. These gasses float up into the atmosphere causing pollution. If we weren’t to eat these cattle, our skies will basically be made up of cow fart!

    No matter if animals have “rights”, the animals that you and I eat are made up of animals that are designed to eat and eat only. Not eating them due to animal rights will only cause more harm to the animals and environment, not help it.
