 political or social level, a set of decisions of a group explains how a society should work
 in the conflict of interest between different countries or different groups, it is the innocent people who sacrifice their lives.
 during World War II, a group of countries namely US, UK and China attacked Japan with explosive atomic bombs destroying
the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing more than one lakh civilians. This is a clear example of the decision laid by a
few countries against Japan to surrender to its allies. Though, these countries achieved victory in their mission but
Japanese people are still suffering from the radioactive radiation effect which resulted in blindness and mental disorders.
Thus, we can say that political ideologies(a system of ideas and ideals) of a group can drastically harm society
 September 11 attacks on US by a group of 19 militants, associated with Islamic extremist group, hijacked four airplanes and
killed around 3,000 people by colliding airplanes into symbolic US landmark. This example clearly shows how the decision
and planning of these terrorist activists took lives of thousands of innocent people.

 School children might less concentrate on their studies and more focus on colourful advertisements
 teens are vulnerable and persuade the parents into buying what they are seeing, so, companies are targeting teens and
younger ages to build brand recognition. Schools should not be selling children as a captive audience for corporate

29.You are given climate as the field of study. Which area will you prefer? Explain why you picked up the particular area
for your study?

 All over the world today, it can be observed that the issue of climate change has grown in importance over the past few
decades. Therefore, if I were given climate as my field of study, I would like to study the underlying causes of this
devastating global phenomenon and possible solutions to tackle this.
 To begin with, a variety of reasons can be offered to explain why I would choose this particular area of study. Foremost
among these is the fact that we have been experiencing the hottest 15 years on record in the last two decades. Linked to
this is the fact that millions are at risk of drought, chronic water shortages, bushfire, coastal flooding and hazardous air
pollution. As the above-mentioned points make it clear, it can hardly be denied that the issues of climate change must be
addressed with a sense of urgency.
 But 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. As individuals, we can help by taking action to reduce our personal
carbon emissions. But 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 transforming our energy system to a cleaner one,
placing limits on the amount of carbon that polluters are allowed to emit, reducing tropical deforestation and its associated
global warming emissions.
 In conclusion, It is my considered opinion that if we were to put in place some of the solutions mentioned, we would at
least be on our way to solving this problem. Therefore, I would like to play my part to contribute to the solution of climate
change.
