Adoption has long been a com m on thing, yet there has
been a recent trend in adopting children from overseas.
This trend has been noted in the media as more and
more celebrities have adopted children from other
countries. Som e people think this is a negative thing,
but I think that on the whole the positive effects of this
outweigh any negative repercussions as I shall go on
to show.
Firstly, adopting from other countries raises the
aw areness of a country’s plight. Seeing fam ous people
adopting children from countries like Cambodia m eans
that Cambodia is in the news more and people can find
out what is going on there. Also, these children move to
richer countries and can tell people about their native
country, raising aw areness on a sm aller scale.
Secondly, these children may well not be adopted
unless people come from overseas to do it. A happy life
in another country is surely better than an unhappy life in
the country where a person w as born. The new country
will give the child more opportunity and a family that they
may not get if they were to stay in the orphanage.
However. it is important for the children to retain
their culture. There is a danger that this might not
happen if they move to another country. Therefore
there should be a rule that the adoptive parents allow
the child to revisit their home country and retain their
original culture.
In conclusion, I think the personal benefits adoption
gives a child and the aw areness that can be raised from
these adoptions far outweighs any negative factors,
such as change of culture.

Education com es from many places, not just form al
schooling. People learn from their family, their friends,
the television and personal experience am ong many
other ways. Although these avenues of learning are
certainly important, I believe that education within
scho o ls is much more important, as it lays the
foundations for future achievement and wider succe ss
as I sha ll show.
Firstly, form al qualifications which are earned at
school are often the entry points to certain careers
and jobs. In order to be a lawyer or doctor, you need
to do well at school so you can go on to study for
professional qualifications. Additionally, many jobs
a sk for basic qualifications in m aths and English when
you apply. Without these qualifications, an individual
could become limited in what they can do with their
professional lives.
In addition to this, school also prepares you for
relationships outside your family, which is an important
aspect of life. School is a good socialisation tool
because a student needs to deal with relationships on
many different levels, for example with teachers and
school friends, and they also need to deal with threats
to happiness such as bullying or workloads.
Fam ilies are important as often children gain their
m oral outlook and aspirational goals from their
parents. However, children can succeed without a
favourable family setting to a certain extent. It is
doubtful whether they could succeed without schooling.
In conclusion, although there are many beneficial
form s of education, I believe schooling is more
important than education within the family. This is
because form al education gives you qualifications and
socialisation that the family cannot offer.
