The line graph shows variations in the production of timber, pulp and paper in a nation in Europe over a 20-year period from 1980. Overall, despite fluctuations, the production of all three products increased with paper dominating towards the end of the period, while timber was produced the least for most of the final decade.

Regarding paper and pulp production, these products experienced a broadly similar trend. Pulp rose from first place initially at about 5 million tonnes and remained higher until 1995, when it was overtaken by paper. Although it slightly fell, by 2000, pulp manufacturing had finished in second place at nearly 10 million tonnes. Papermaking almost exactly mirrored the rising trend of pulp, starting lowest at 4 million and increasing to a high of approximately 11 million tonnes in 2000, the highest figure in the graph.

In terms of timber production, the figure surged from around four and a half million tonnes to its highest point of 10 million tonnes in 1985 but since then, it started to decrease marginally. By around 1996, this product had dropped to just over 6 million tonnes. Despite having a slight recovery to 8 million tonnes about 3 years later, timber fell to approximately 7 million tonnes in 2000.

Question: The responsibility of schools is to teach children good behaviors in addition to providing formal education. Agree or disagree? 

ANSWER:

The responsibility of rearing a child is always an arduous task, regardless of whom it is bestowed on. Some opine that schools are liable to instill good values and virtues into children along with academic knowledge. I partly agree with this view as I believe that this duty should not fall solely on educators, but family as well.

On the one hand, educational institutions are an ideal place for children to learn about ethics and social norms as well as how to practice them since schools are the reflection of real society. At schools, children are exposed to an organizational discipline unable to be reproduced at home where teachers are the coach, the guide, and the companion. This enables them to garner trust and respect from children, resulting in their impact on pupils’ mindsets and behaviors. Moreover, educational establishments are where youngsters can interact with their peers, which makes a perfect environment for them to understand and sympathize with people of varying backgrounds. Hence, with the instructors’ guidance and friends’ interaction, juveniles are able to develop the right attitude with an open-minded viewpoint at schools.

On the other hand, the formation of personality and the ethics framework of children starts at home. Family is the first and the most crucial stage of socialization, the process where a youngster learns to adapt and become a member of society by acquiring the expected moral values and acting accordingly. Parents are children’s first teachers, leaving life-long influences on them even when they have fully grown. As much as outside interactions affect children’s worldviews, they become insignificant compared to the parents’ thoughts and behaviors. This is because offspring usually imitate their parents, both consciously and subconsciously, as parental figures are oftentimes the role models. There are many cases of juvenile criminals where family negligence is the main cause, showing the importance of family in the development of children.

In conclusion, I somewhat agree that educational institutions should incorporate ethics education into their curriculum to enable adolescents to develop holistically. However, the responsibility should be shared by the family as it is the most influential environment for any child’s development.
