Do you AGREE or DISAGREE?
R B Habib:
I do agree that people want more than they get. It is somewhat natural as well. Else we would not have so many things discovered and invented, if we were happy with what we have. obsession to achieve more and more and moreer and morest is problematic, though. Jokes apart, thanks for such thought provoking lovely argument.
nirvana:
Answer to statement no. 1 :
Man by born possesses an insatiable inquisitiveness which never allows him to rest easy and remain inactive for long. The ever-increasing thirst to explore/discover new & different things is a temptation/appeal which is too difficult for a man to resist. That's why men are never satisfied what they already have and seek new challenges. The aspiration for more or something different thus prevails. However, interestingly, this longing for more or new things dominates one's psyche even when one is satisfied with what one has achieved so far.
nirvana:
Answer to statement no. 3
I'd begin by arguing that the beginning of a child's schooling varies from country to country and most importantly the age is found to be wildly variable. So, I think that if one is to determine whether a child should start learning a foreign language right when the child's schooling begins, one needs to take the age of the child under consideration. Therefore, I'd rather disagree with the fact that a child should begin learning a foreign language as soon as they start school as the receptive ability of a child is too amateurish to digest the burden of learning a foreign language so early when the child hasn't even mastered the ABC of his native language.
Shampa Iftakhar:
Question 1:
It depends. From my point of view, perfect satisfaction is impossible. Again you should not limit yourself by giving a boundary to your desire, aim or wish( I mean positive thing).
Shampa Iftakhar:
Question 2:
Learning a second or a foreign language along with mother language is not compulsory but we can't ignore the demand of the time. Our children are the citizens of this world. They will communicate people from different race, culture and language. So learning foreign language will benefit them.
