It is better to be safe and not take risks. How far is this true?

I agree that this statement is true. There is another phrase which says, "better be safe than sorry". It is very hard for us to comprehend things which are about to happen as we do not know what the outcome will be like. Therefore being safe ensures that you are aware of what is going to happen and this will help to prevent that incident from happening.

It is foolish to look for excitement in dangerous activities. Do you agree?

I disagree with this. People want to participate in these dangerous activities nowadays is because of the thrill that they experience through it. If everyone were to think that these dangerous activities will only cause us harm and danger to us, then there will be no such thing as a first time experience and everything will be very mundane and boring. In my opinion, I feel that looking for excitement in dangerous activities helps us to push forward and to try on new adventures and to gain new skills to it as well.

Women in society. What are their roles these days?

In the past, a woman's job is just to look after the children and the house when the husband is away. But for now, it is likely to see women working in high-paying jobs due to the increase in education facilities. Some women are even entrepreuners! Heading a company and fetching a large sum to boost the income of the economy.

Qualities that you would look for in a friend.

"A friend in need is a friend indeed". This phrase tells us that friends are people who we can count upon and look up to in every situation. In my opinion, a friend has to be caring, considerate, thoughtful, generous, polite, kind, helpful, patient, loving and friendly.

Advancement in medical knowledge. Boon or bane?

I would say that advancement in medical knowledge has helped us a lot. Without the advancement of technology, we would all be living in a polluted and sick world. The advancement in medical knowledge has helped doctors and nurses to be able to find new cures for diseases to prevent an epidemic from happening. For instance, SARS struck the world in the year 2003, many people were afraid of living their homes as they fear being caught by this deadly virus. But with new technology and advancement in medical knowledge, doctors are able to find a cure for this virus and to put an end to this widespread disease.

Would the world have been a safer place and cleaner place without science?

I disagree with this. The world that we live in is made up of science. The buildings that we see, the computers that we use, and the televisions that we watch have concepts of science in it. Science has brought about light for us. Without the invention of light, imagine how dark the world will be. And going out will be so much difficult without any street lights. Cars would only have to be driven by day in fear of causing any road accidents just because drivers can't see another car making a turn. Science has its own uses which enable us to be so efficient in the society today.
