iOS and Android are the two dominant mobile operating systems, each with its own
strengths and weaknesses. iOS, developed by Apple, offers seamless integration with
Apple hardware, providing a consistent user experience. It features a simple and intuitive
user interface, making it accessible to a wide range of users. Regular updates ensure
security and new features for iOS devices.
In contrast, Android, developed by Google, provides a wider variety of device choices and
price points. The open-source platform allows for customization by manufacturers, leading
to innovation and diversity in the market. Android offers users greater flexibility and
personalization options.
However, Android's customization can lead to fragmentation, with different devices running
different versions of the operating system, potentially causing inconsistencies. Meanwhile,
iOS users benefit from a more standardized experience across devices.
Ultimately, the choice between iOS and Android depends on personal preference and
priorities. Those who value seamless integration and regular updates may prefer iOS,
while those who prioritize device variety and customization might lean towards Android.

1. How do you feel about inclusive language?I believe it's unnecessary, feels forced and
can make sentences sound awkward.
2. What about inclusive language do you find most problematic?The most troublesome
aspect is the fact that it detracts from clarity and simplicity.
3. How do you feel about the argument that inclusive language promotes equality?It
doesn't promote equality; it just promotes self-perception.
4. What are your thoughts on gender-neutral pronouns?They don’t make any sense.
5. Don’t you agree that inclusive language helps create a more inclusive society?No. It just
helps promote a woke agenda.
6. How do you feel about using inclusive language in academic settings?I think it should
be avoided to maintain clarity.
7. What do you think about the argument that language evolves over time?Using inclusive
language is not evolution, it’s devolution.
8. How do you respond to people who support inclusive language?I respect their opinion
but don't share their views.
9. What about those who believe inclusive language is a form of respect?I believe respect
mustn’t contradict syntax, semantics or basic biology for that matter.
10. Do you think inclusive language should be a personal choice?Yes, I think individuals
should decide for themselves whether to use it or not.

I believe it's important to create a supportive and open environment where people feel
comfortable expressing their own points of view. One way to do this is by actively listening
to others when they share their opinions. By showing genuine interest and asking follow-
up questions, we can encourage them to speak freely.
Another method is to provide opportunities for dialogue and discussion, whether in group
settings or one-on-one conversations. This can help people feel that their perspectives are
valued and respected. Additionally, fostering a culture of respect and tolerance can
empower individuals to voice their thoughts without fear of judgment.
It's also helpful to offer constructive feedback when appropriate, rather than dismissing or
invalidating someone else's opinions. By acknowledging the validity of different viewpoints,
we can create a more inclusive space for sharing ideas.
Lastly, leading by example can inspire others to express their own views. When we openly
share our perspectives, it can encourage others to do the same. By promoting open
communication and mutual respect, we can help others feel confident in expressing their
thoughts.

1. Listening actively to others can encourage them to express their points of view.
2. Providing opportunities for dialogue can discourage people from sharing their opinions.
3. Fostering a culture of respect and tolerance can empower individuals to voice their
thoughts.
4. Offering dismissive feedback helps create a more inclusive space for sharing ideas.
5. Leading by example can inspire others to express their own views.
6. Open communication and mutual respect can discourage people from sharing their
thoughts.

1. Do you agree with the view that climate change is an urgent issue?Yes, I agree it's
important to take action right now.
2. What do you think about people who are skeptical of renewable energy?I disagree; I
think it's essential for a sustainable future.
3. How do you feel about people who are disillusioned with the voting process?I totally
understand them. I believe it is a crucial part of democracy, though.
4. How do you react to opinions against electric vehicles?I disagree; I think they reduce
pollution and offer many other benefits.
5. What do you think about people's concerns over technology and privacy?I agree it's
important to be cautious about data protection.
6. What was your stance on COVID mandatory vaccination?Totally against that. It didn’t
prevent neither infection nor transmission of the virus.

Many people hold diverse opinions on various everyday topics. For instance, when

while others are more skeptical of the impact of human activities. This divide can influence
personal choices and policy decisions.
Opinions on renewable energy sources also vary. Some advocate for a swift transition
from fossil fuels, while others are concerned about the reliability and cost of alternatives.
Similarly, the use of electric vehicles is seen positively by some for environmental reasons,
but others remain hesitant due to perceived limitations.
In the context of work culture, some prefer the structure of traditional office settings, while
others appreciate more flexible arrangements. Views on voting and civic engagement differ
as well, with some believing in the importance of every vote and others feeling
disillusioned by the political system.
Finally, the topic of cultural diversity elicits mixed reactions. Many see it as a source of
enrichment and innovation, while others view it as a challenge to social cohesion. These
differing perspectives highlight the need for open dialogue and mutual understanding to
navigate complex everyday topics.

In my opinion, there are several everyday topics that deserve thoughtful consideration and
discussion. For instance, when it comes to working remotely, I believe it offers flexibility
and convenience, but it can also lead to feelings of isolation and disconnection from
colleagues. Striking a balance is essential for productivity and well-being.
Another topic that often comes up is the debate around public transportation. I support the
use of public transit as a way to reduce traffic and carbon emissions, but I think more
investment is needed to improve its reliability and accessibility.
As for technology in education, I'm in favor of incorporating modern tools to enhance
learning experiences. However, I think it's crucial to ensure students still learn critical
thinking and problem-solving skills without over-reliance on technology.
When discussing diet and nutrition, I advocate for a balanced approach rather than
following extreme diets. I believe individuals should find what works best for their own
bodies and lifestyles.
In terms of mental health awareness, I think society has made progress in destigmatizing
mental health issues, but there's still work to be done. I support open conversations and
access to resources for those in need.
Finally, the impact of social media on our lives is undeniable. While it offers connectivity
and opportunities, I think we should be mindful of the potential negative effects on mental
health and self-esteem.

In my opinion, it's important to take other people's opinions into account, but it's equally
important to critically evaluate their statements. I've noticed that some people are quick to
jump on bandwagons without fully understanding the context or implications of a topic. For
instance, I believe the rise of social media has amplified this tendency, leading to a spread
of misinformation and echo chambers. I think it's essential to approach opinions with a
healthy level of skepticism and fact-checking.
I also feel that personal biases often color people's perspectives, which can limit their
ability to see other viewpoints. This can create unnecessary divisions and conflicts. It's
crucial to remain open-minded and willing to consider different angles on an issue.
On the other hand, I appreciate when people express their opinions respectfully and
constructively. It's refreshing to see individuals who can articulate their thoughts clearly
and back them up with evidence. This kind of discourse fosters understanding and
progress.
In conclusion, while I respect others' opinions, I believe it's essential to critically analyze
them and be aware of the potential for bias or misinformation. By doing so, we can engage
in meaningful discussions and make more informed decisions.

Ryan: Hey, Dawson, have you read the reviews for the new Disney movie?
Dawson: Yeah, I saw them. It sounds like the critics didn't hold back at all.
Ryan: One critic said the movie was trying too hard to check all the boxes for inclusivity.
Dawson: That's exactly what I thought too. The movie was more focused on being
politically correct than telling a good story. Woke agenda at its best.
Ryan: Another critic mentioned the lack of depth in the characters. They said it felt like the
characters were just there to push the narrative.
Dawson: I can see that. It seemed like they were sacrificing character development to
make a point. In addition to that, almost all characters were black, transgender or non-
binary. I mean, I’m all for inclusivity but this seems just plain stupid to me.
Ryan: Right, and the same critic said the movie missed the magic and wonder that Disney
is known for.
Dawson: That's a big deal. Disney movies are supposed to be all about that.

Dawson: That definitely stood out to me. It felt forced, and it took me out of the story.
Ryan: They also criticized the visuals a little for being overly stylized.
Dawson: I didn't mind the visuals, but if they don't match the story, that's a problem.
Ryan: They should focus on telling a good story first and foremost.

The negative influence of media on today's society is a growing concern, as it can

issues is the spread of misinformation and disinformation, which can lead to confusion and
the spread of false beliefs. This is particularly evident on social media platforms, where
sensationalized or misleading content often goes viral, reaching large audiences quickly.
Another problem is the perpetuation of stereotypes and biases through media portrayals of
certain groups. These representations can reinforce harmful beliefs and contribute to
discrimination and prejudice. Additionally, media sensationalism can distort the importance
of events, leading to an overemphasis on shocking or negative stories while neglecting
more nuanced or positive news.
The constant exposure to media can also contribute to information overload, making it
challenging for individuals to discern credible sources from unreliable ones. This can result
in a lack of critical thinking and increased susceptibility to manipulation. Furthermore, the
pressure to conform to curated online personas can negatively impact mental health,
leading to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety.

included workshops allowing attendees to engage with local chefs and learn new “hands-
on-the-food” skills.

A feminist demonstration took place in the heart of the city, where a group of women
gathered to protest against gender inequality and violence against women. While the
demonstration may have started with good intentions, it quickly took a negative turn. The
women blocked the streets, causing significant traffic disruptions and inconvenience to
drivers and local businesses. This aggressive approach undermined the safety of the
public and caused frustration among those affected.
As the protest progressed, some participants resorted to vandalism, defacing public places
with graffiti and damaging property. These destructive acts only served to tarnish the
image of the feminist movement. Furthermore, one of the protestors was accidentally hit
by a light pole that other feminists knocked over. She sustained injuries and required
medical attention, highlighting the potential risks associated with violent protests.
While the women may have been motivated by a desire for change, their actions ultimately
did more harm than good. Such disruptive and destructive behavior not only alienates
potential supporters but also casts a shadow over the feminist cause.
