The most important aspect of a job is how much a person earns

I agree with the statement. How much a person earns can be a crucial aspect of the job. If people choose a job they are interesed in but not able to earn much money, they cannot be happy since they can't buy something they want because of their low wage. Also, even if people are not interested in their own job, they can be happy through doing things they want by using money they earned.

Women Shouldn't Work

I strongly insist that women should be allowed to have jobs. Sometimes, women are much more good at certain field than men. For example, female diplomats may be able to easily fulfill their diplomatic buisness because of their kindness and closeness. So I think women should be allowed to have their own jobs.

Capital Punishment

I think just killing criminals who commited severe crimes is so unfair. Victims of their crimes might get tremendous physical and mental pains from them. Just killing those criminals as a punishment of their crimes may not be a proper punishment for them to self-reflect their behaviors. They should be tortured a lot so that they can finally realize that they had been doing such morally unacceptable things.

Should boys and girls go to seperate schools?

I don't think that boys and girls should go to separate schools. If those young students go school separately, they are more likely to get a misconception on another gender. For example, girls might think that all boys are mean and foolish, just by watching a one boy who is mean and foolish. Thus, it will make them have bad relationships among themselves.

A zoo has no useful purpose

I definitely agree with the point that animal zoos should be closed and make animals live in their natural environment. Animals are so stressful to live in small cages, since they had been inherently living in a wild environment. This will negatively affect their physical and mental health. Thus, for animals' health, I think zoos should be closed and animals should go back to their wild environment.

Should students be required to wear uniforms to school?

I strongly agree with the point that students should wear school uniforms. Wearing school uniforms give less financial burden to both students and their parents, since they only have to buy the uniform for just one time for wearing more than 3 years. On the other hand, just wearing normal clothes will give stress to students because they think they should wear lots of various clotes everyday. It'll cost a lot, which might be a tremendous financial burden to them.

Should smoking be banned in public places?

I strongly agree that the smoking should be banned in public places such as restaurants, shopping centers, public transportation, schools, and daycare centers.

To begin with, since there are so many people crowded, smoking in public places might give fatal, negative effects to those people. According to American Cancer Society, more than 60 of chemical compounds contained in tobacco smoke causes cancer, which indicates that secondhand smoking will make people to get cancer.

In addition, smoking is dangerous to smokers themselves, too. Smoking causes smokers' blood vessels to be narrow so that blood doesn't circulate normally. Thus, smokers might get disease called 'peripheral vascular disease,' according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, through banning smoking in public places, smoking rates can be reduced. Bans in public places reduce general smoking rates through a combination of stigmatization and reduction in the social cues for smoking. Actually, smoking rates reduced a lot in UK, US, and Sweden through banning smoking in public places.
