  1. Prompt: The effectiveness of a country's leaders is best measured by examining the well-being of that country's citizens. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position. Great leaders are absolutely created for the welfare of the people. Leaders are in power by the demands placed on them by the people. Their act of diligence, perseverance, responsibilities for the people is what makes the efficacy of the leader more profound. Great leaders like Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, FDR played an efficient role in shaping the country for the people’s welfare. The country succeeded just because of their continual efforts for the people. Mahatma Gandhi is a well known freedom fighter for India who played an imminent role for the Independence of India from the British. If not for his persistent efforts for the people, Then India would actually be in an utter doom. Another example is that of Martin Luther King who is of utmost importance in the history of America and fought for the equality of black people in America. His continual efforts and his non-violent protests is what contributed for his success. FDR is considered one of the renowned leaders who helped fight the great economic depression in America in 1932 by introducing the “new deal” for the welfare of the people.He helped resurface economic regression for the people. This effort is one is the major reasons that pulled out America from the downturn of economic depression. Leaders are continually being tested and constantly need to change based on people’s demands. Infact, a great and strong leader is one who reassures the people in times of crises without being complacent. Especially during these unprecedented Covid times, Leaders are being tested and need to be completely driven by hope to keep the people safe and assured. The New Zealand’s president, Jacinda Ardern is one such example who played an active role in controlling the cases and putting up wise restrictions for the country’s good will. However, if the country’s leader remains apathetic about the people, The country is not going to be in a good shape and eventually that government is going to be dissolved. One such example is the reign of Hitler in Germany. Even though he wanted his country to be in good prospects, his vicious attempts by the way he treated people didn’t get him anywhere and led to his eternal doom. Thus in conclusion, the efficacy of great leaders is dependent on people, A great leader will always bring the country to greater prospects and will help develop the country eventually but a bad leader who doesn’t care for the welfare of the people are eventually going to fail.

  3. Claim: Young people's tendency to make extensive use of portable devices like smartphones and tablets has hurt their development of social skills. Reason: These devices encourage users to form artificial personalities and relationships online rather than fully and honestly engaging with the people around them. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based. The rise of Technology is inevitable and the use of smart devices has become more flustered among people in recent times. Smartphones and tablets have indeed taken a huge toll on young people-The “iGen” to be precise. The use of smartphones and tablets has hampered the social skills and mental health of young minds drastically. Social media plays a major role in shaping one’s mind and contributed to the deterioration of mental health of many young minds. For example, the NYT report in 2012 says that the mental health of teenagers have been severely affected. Depression and loneliness have skyrocketed upto 60 percent among late teens. Especially in the recent times, the year before the pandemic, numbers have nearly doubled. The rate of suicide among young people aged between 14-24 has nearly increased to 42 percent in the years 2012 and 2019.The use of smartphones platforms has also been rapidly increasing since 2012.By 2015,almost two-thirds of people in America owned a smartphone. This was the beginning of an era that shaped people constantly through various platforms, especially social media. Instagram was widely becoming popular and had taken a huge toll on young teens. The trauma and the anxiety young people were facing is really evident painstakingly according to the recent census after a thorough analysis. Especially young girls constantly compare themselves to strangers on social media that has been edited until perfection and think that they are not good enough and remain in a really devastated state and feel really anxious about themselves. Secondly, Socializing is really messed up in this rapidly evolving generation. It’s really hard striking up a conversation with people seeing everyone getting glued to their smartphones. This only really develops an artificial relationship with people. Friendships are really shallow in today’s world. People’s thought process is changing rapidly. The need of actual conversation with people is actually being questioned. In 2011 a survey report conducted by the Montanna academy concluded that social media platforms like Facebook,Instagram,Whatsapp have really strained people’s relationships with one other.These platforms have become more of an intrusion in people’s lives. But social Media platforms has become really handy and can be used in sharing materials,documents,photos in a blink of an eye.However,this can also be harmful with constant use and some people might use these platform rather abusively at times.on the other hand These smart devices can be used for various purposes-calling,making notes,passing messages etc.Communication has really been made easier by smartphones which was not quiet possible in the past but moderation is always the key. To conclude, the use of smartphones and tablets has really hampered the social skills and mental health of young minds drastically,However it can be advantages at times but rather a curse otherwise.
