Five valuable lessons I learnt in 2020

This past year has been a totally unforeseen year! It has turned our lives upside down and changed not just the way we live and study but also how we perceive and react to the world around us. What is more, every part of the world has been affected, and every aspect of life has been impacted somehow. Our everyday routines were changed, and we had to get acquainted to ‘the new normal’.

Tema 2020 Essay Competition – Categoria 11-14 ani

Imagine a world where teachers are replaced by A.I.

At present, mankind is facing unprecedented changes brought about by the emergence of AI and many jobs have already disappeared as a result of technological evolution. Will teaching ever be one of these disappearing jobs?

In a world where children spend most of their free time on-line, in the virtual reality of games or social networking sites, it is the teachers’ role at school to keep them connected to the real world. As ‘knowledge’ is now only one click away, instead of providing us with more information, teachers have to help us understand it and decide what is important for us and what is not. The final goal of teachers is thus to help students understand the world we live in.

But as in education the only constant so far is change, a world where online courses and robots replace school as we know it is not impossible!

Write a 200-word essay in which you tell us what this world would be like.

In your essay you could include or develop one or more of the following ideas:

  • Do we control technology or does technology control us? Will AI want to teach us how to control AI?
  • Can robots really teach us how to think for ourselves?
  • Can a human teacher really teach students new notions if information can be accessed whenever we need it?
  • What makes a really good teacher, intelligence or emotions?
  • What kind of skills will students need to learn in 2100 in order to get a job? Who will
    teach them?

Imagine a world where teachers are replaced by A.I.

At present, mankind is facing unprecedented changes brought about by the emergence of AI and many jobs have already disappeared as a result of technological evolution. Will teaching ever be one of these jobs?

In a world where young people tend to become submerged into virtual reality, teachers and schools act like anchors connecting them to the real world of knowledge and social interaction. As enormous amounts of information are now one click away, it has also become the teachers’ responsibility to help pupils churn it and make sense of it so as to get the broad picture of the ‘reality’ we inhabit.

In education, nevertheless, the only constant is change, so a world where online courses an robots replace school as we know it is not impossible!

Write a 250-word essay in which you explain and describe what this world would be like. In your essay you could include or develop one or more of the following ideas:

  • Do the ever-evolving technologies make our lives easier or enslaves us? Will AI want to teach us how to control and harness AI?
  • Can robots really teach us how to think autonomously?
  • Can a human teacher really teach pupils to learn efficiently with such huge amounts of information available all the time?
  • Which are more important in teaching, intelligence or consciousness and emotional bonds?
  • What kind of skills will a student need to learn in 2100 in order to get a job? From whom?

Message to my future self

When we look back on ourselves in the past, it’s surprising to see how much we have changed over time. Our experiences, our friends, our family and school have all shaped who each of us is right now. But where will we be in 15 years’ time?

We often give council and advice to others. Moreover, we usually think that advice is given by the elder to the youth, by a teacher to a student or a parent to a child. But what if the coin flips, and we, our present-day selves, offer advice to a 15 years older version of ourselves?

Write a 200-word essay in which you tell us what message you would send to your future self and why.

In your essay you could include or develop one or more of the following ideas:

  • What do you hope for yourself?
  • What do you love about yourself?
  • What do you want to change about yourself?
  • What goals do you want to accomplish?

Are video games  an addiction or a mind sport?

Describe your own views in a 250-word essay in which you mention whether you consider playing computer games is addictive or it is rather a sport of the mind.

Initially chess, cards games and board games were described as mind sports but as computer science rapidly evolved, other disciplines such as computer games or e-Sports (video game-based competitions) have been accepted and included on the list of mind sports.

As video games are becoming increasingly complex, fans dedicate more and more time to this activity. Some people argue that PC games cause dependence but gaming addiction is not yet officially recognized as a diagnosable disorder.

In your essay you can include or develop one or more of the following ideas:

– Playing computer games leads to cognitive development.

– Computer games help teenagers and young people become more skilled in using computers.

– Computer games promote violence and poor health.

How can we keep Planet Earth ‘green’ for the future generations?

Think green, speak green, act green and write a 200-word essay, in which you suggest an original way to use natural resources without polluting the environment.

Right now on Earth there are over 7 billion people and by 2050, we will reach a population of about 10 billion souls! There will be so many of us on this planet that we will  have to become more and more creative to ensure the future generations all the natural resources they need to survive. Things that are common to us, for example, fresh air, clear water, fertile soil, rich vegetation or fossil fuels, might disappear in the near future!

In ecology, living on Earth without exhausting natural resources and destroying the environment, is referred to with the term sustainability. So, how can we live our daily lives in a ‘sustainable‘ way?

In your essay you can include or develop one or more of the following ideas:

  • How can we use less non-renewable, finite resources such as coal, petroleum, natural gas or metal?
  • How can we use more renewable resources like wind power, solar energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, to power our homes and thus live in ‘green houses’?
  • How can we use fewer goods and commodities (water, electricity, fuel, paper, food, etc.) that we use every day at home or at school? How can you convince your parents to do the same?
  • What should you be taught at school to help you contribute to a better future in a less polluted world?

Right now on Earth there are over 7 billion people and by 2050, we will reach a population of about 10 billion souls! There will be so many of us on this planet that we will  have to become more and more creative to ensure our descendants all the natural resources they need to survive.

In ecology, living on Earth without exhausting natural resources and destroying the environment is referred to with the term sustainability. So, how can we live our daily lives in a ‘sustainable’ way?

In your essay you can include or develop one or more of the following ideas:

  • How can we reduce the consumption of resources (water, electricity, fuel, paper, food, etc.) that we use every day at home or at school?
  • Our daily life includes many activities that lead to a greater consumption of resources, some of them are also polluting the environment, for example, driving cars. What solutions can you find in order for these activities to become less harmful to our planet?
  • Modern families tend to buy more products than they consume. This way significant resources are used and ever growing amounts of waste, that pollute the planet, are being generated. What solutions can you find to determine people to become ‘rational consumers’ and reduce pollution?
  • What should be changed or introduced in modern education to ensure children a better future in a less polluted world?
