  1. Should all gun restrictions be abolished?
    i. Statistics showing high murder rates justify gun control but statistics showing increasing murder rates after gun control are “just statistics.”
    ii. We must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting spree at any time and anyone who would own a gun out of fear of such a lunatic is paranoid.
    iii. Private citizens shouldn’t have handguns, because they aren’t “military weapons”, but private citizens shouldn’t have “assault rifles”, because they are military weapons.

  2. Should women shave or not.
    i. Women are feminine, men are masculine. If women stopped shaving, who would know the difference anymore?
    ii. Facial shaving for women isn’t news. In fact, dermaplaning is the fancier option that spas offer to help take off a layer of dead skin. In addition to removing those baby hairs, it also helps products absorb into your skin better. It gives you a gorgeous glow and in turn, your fuzz is gone.
    iii. You might think that pubic hair has no purpose in your body, but it’s actually there for a very good reason. It acts as a friction barrier between the most sensitive part of your body and your clothes.

  3. Is dieting reasonable?
    i. Often it’s the dieter who is unreasonable, makes poor choices, excessive restriction, unrealistic or unhealthy goals. In these cases, the diet may be unreasonable. But generally speaking, assuming a reasonable person is leading the efforts, no, dieting is not unreasonable.
    ii. If you’re cutting the diet and compromising on the calories, it won’t cut your fats. It will simply torture your body till you are dieting. There will be a deficiency in the body. By dieting, your fat won’t disappear. Your muscles will shrink down. Due to the shrinking of muscles, your weight reduces drastically and you become happy that you lost your weight. Well, that is a short-term weight loss. Once you leave dieting, your body will start growing with the more speed than the earlier one.
    iii. Dieting is reasonable only if your body gets all the essential nutrients – and by that, what I meant is the nutrients that cannot be synthesised by the body. Our body is amazing, it is able to synthesise numerous compounds the moment it enters our mouth.

    C) Both ii and iii
    D) All of these

  4. Is baptism necessary for salvation?
    i. It is our contention that baptism is an important step of obedience for a Christian, but we adamantly reject baptism as being required for salvation. We strongly believe that each and every Christian should be water baptized by immersion.
    ii. Baptism is not necessary for salvation. Baptism does not save from sin but from a bad conscience. In 1 Peter 3:21, Peter clearly taught that baptism was not a ceremonial act of physical purification, but the pledge of a good conscience toward God.
    iii. Yes, there are some verses that seem to indicate baptism as a requirement for salvation. However, since the Bible so clearly tells us that salvation is received by faith alone (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5), there must be a different interpretation of those verses.

  5. BIrthdays are waste of money
    i. I believe celebrations is the integral part of social life, although it takes some money to holding. If people can well control the consuming on parties, they can find it is no harmful but beneficial for individual and whole society.
    ii. if you think it’s a very important day for you, you can celebrate it every year, inviting your friends and spend some money for a dinner or party. when money is spent on the things you like, it isn’t a waste!
    iii. I can’t find any way to make birthday celebration necessary. While I have no objection to my birthday and certainly do not reject a card or a visit, I really don’t celebrate my birthday and haven’t done so for many years. I celebrate other days, especially religious holy days, but as I am old and live alone, I don’t do much. I usually make something I like for dinner and have a glass of wine with it. Not celebrating my birthday hasn’t done anything to me as far as I can tell.

  6. Is being a  journalist a good job?
    i. I’d have to say NO. it’s low-paying work, with little opportunity for professional growth. I’ve been in journalism for a long time, and the Internet has murdered it.
    ii. While taking up journalism as a career, one has to decide that one wants to become journalist cum clerk or clerk cum nothing. As, every journalist has to do clerical works but there are some clerks in news outlets who misunderstand themselves for journalists. There’s the catch! What parts a journalist from a clerk is original content, which one can not have unless one screws one’s ass to study and goes to the field.
    iii. Journalism is certainly a good career option. But you need to ascertain what are the requirements and if you meet them in an ample measure. Apart from writing succinctly and trenchantly you need to be prepared to endure the hazards that accompany such a career.

  7. Is telepathy real?
    i. In Grau et al’s experiments, we may be seeing the birth of a revolutionary means of communication that will transform our world in the way the telegraph, telephone, or television did. Someday, instead of texting, speaking or looking into a camera to communicate, we may simply “think” our message, saving all the bother of typing or speaking, or even getting out of the shower.
    ii. Long before marriage was about the union of two people in a romantic relationship, the institution had simply been about survival. For men, marriage was a means of ensuring the paternity of their children by entering a committed relationship with a woman (or more). For women, who often didn’t enjoy the same rights as men, the institution ensured their own social security and that of their children.
    iii. Outside of medicine, brain-to-brain communication could find applications across many disciplines. Soldiers, for instance, could use the technology on the battlefield, sending commands and warnings to one another. Civilians might benefit, as well; businesspeople could use it to send cues to partners during negotiations, or pitchers and catchers could avoid sign-stealing during baseball games.

  8. Batman vs Superman
    i. Superman is a good guy. One of the best in the DCU. He could have killed all criminals in the world, ruled the world with an iron-fist, been an omnipotent dictator. But he isn’t. He was raised by two of the most morally upright people in the world – The Kents. And that has thankfully rubbed off on him.
    ii. it is Batman who goes into the fight with the will to kill. This is the only way Batman can put a dent in Superman. So a Superman with killer instinct will destroy the childhood memories of many fans
    iii. Batman after facing villains like Joker,Bane and Ra’as Al Gul, had an idea on how to defeat them when they are more stronger.Thus killing Batman is a tough nut to crack.

  9. Education system of Indian Schools vs Gurukuls system of education
    i. Gurukul education system provides students the knowledge about Hindu religion, brings close to nature, yogasanas, knowledge about practical situations of life etc. Modern education provides knowledge about technology, electronic systems, latest gadgets etc.
    ii. In India, lack of education in a huge number of individuals has turned the dreams of ‘Education for All’ into empty dreams. Mainly, population explosion has put an overwhelming weight on its available infrastructure and resources. India has the world’s biggest populace of illiterates. As indicated by 2011 evaluation, literacy rate has gone just up to 74% from 65%. For guys, it has ascended to 82% from 75%, for females to 65% from 54%.
    iii. Modern Education System has evolved with time and has been influenced by the western system. It has been affected by the changes and advances in technology. The education system has incorporated technologies like ebooks, video lectures, distance learning through video chat, demonstrations through 3-D imagery, etc. There is no doubt that the system has evolved to incorporate the technological developments. These have helped the students in grasping better knowledge through visual aids that help in increasing retention. Teaching methods are continuously upgraded as per advanced research and developments.

  10. Depression is lethal.
    i. When you’re depressed, especially depressed for prolonged periods of time as you describe, your emotional spectrum becomes extremely narrow. That is, if you feel anything at all aside from being numb. Your brain’s ability to use those neural connections and circuitry to trigger things like crying or laughing are not being used due to chemical interference/unavailability, and pathways that go unused begin to deteriorate.
    ii. Depression is a very difficult illness to treat because it has genetic underpinnings with environmental stressors.
    iii. Depression can manifest in a number of forms—a sad mood, loss of interest in previously pleasurable activities, fluctuation in weight, psychomotor agitation or retardation, fatigue, inappropriate guilt, difficulty with concentration, as well as repeated thoughts of death.
