ANIMALS / HEALTH / SCIENCE

Some people say that it is necessary to use animals for testing medicines intended for
human use. Others, however, think it is cruel and unnecessary. Discuss both views
and give your own opinion.

SCIENCE

Scientific research should be carried out and controlled by governments rather than
private companies. Do you agree or disagree?

ENVIRONMENT

Natural resources such as oil, forests and freshwater are being consumed at an
alarming rate. What problems does it cause? How can we solve these problems?

LAW / SOCIETY

In many countries, the number of refugees and immigrants is increasing. What are
the possible causes and effects of this?

LAW / MILITARY

Many countries have compulsory military service for men after they leave school. It
would be a good idea to adopt this system, for men and possibly women. To what
extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

LAW [Harry mentioned this one]

Society is based on rules and laws. It could not function if individuals were free to
do whatever they wanted to do. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

ENVIRONMENT [from previous question list]

With the increasing demand for energy sources of oil and gas, people should look
for sources of oil and gas in remote and untouched places. Do the advantages
outweigh the disadvantages of damaging such areas?

HEALTH [from previous question list]

It is more important to spend public money on promoting a healthy lifestyle in order
to prevent illness than to spend it on treatment of people who are already ill. To
what extent do you agree or disagree?

HEALTH [from previous question list]

Many childhood diseases can now be prevented through the use of vaccines.
Should parents be made by law to immunise their children against common diseases
or should individuals have the right to choose not to immunise their children?

ENVIRONMENT / ANIMALS

It is a natural process that animal species become extinct, as the dinosaurs did in the
past. There is no reason for people to prevent this from happening. To what extent
do you agree or disagree?

MUSIC

Some people say that music is a good way of bringing people of different cultures
and ages together. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
