Extempo Topics

We have a lecture called Language Skills to improve our command over English language and improve our vocabulary. Some topics were given, and discuss and it is absolutely amazing how each person perception is distinct and unique from each other. Some topics were as follows:

• On the hot seat with BIG B
• When America sneezes India catches a cold
• Water burns more than fire
• Samosa V/S Pizza
• Bloated Babudom
• Euthanasia should be legalized
• Cloning - Are we encroaching on God's territory?
• Foreign television channels corrupt the Indian youths
• Reality shows - As unreal as white crows
• Women make better managers than others.

The most most interesting topic riveting and intriguing topic is "When America sneezes India catches a cold" which is obviously related to the Sub Prime Crisis. It started with the Lehman Brothers, with 22 banks in America going bankrupt. This slowed economic growth in the U.S and ultimately affecting the imports of U.S. and as all know India's main export partners are UK and U.S which in turn affected the Indian imports. Long story short, the Indian economy is not immune from development/recession in the global economies.

Second one which I would really like to discuss is about Euthanasia, which means mercy killing. Should it be legalized? According to me Yes, it should be. It is better to die once, than dying everyday. Imagine a person lying on bed for 36 years paralyzed and considered "brain-dead" in a hospital alone, yes I'm talking about the woman, Aruna Shanbhag. Most people say it should be up to the suffered person and he/she should decide whether to end their life, but what if the person is in coma or paralyzed and not able to communicate? If it to be legalized the laws have to be very stringent or people can take undue advantage to this.

Next topic will be discussed in next post, anyone wants to share their opinion can surely do so.
