Sample essay: The promise of living better lives by providing myriads of choices that are tailored according to our preferences has been a trend recently. Convenience is the goal of every breakthrough and new invention. This essay will point out why choices people have nowadays are plentiful.

Sample: The visual represents the proportion of houses in England and Wales that are owned and leased from 1918 to 2011. Overall, it can be seen that these two categories consistently showed opposing trends. In 1918, a huge gap between rented houses and owned houses is noted. More than two-thirds of households were rented during this year. This gap can be noticeable until 1961. Although it should be mentioned that even though there were more houses that were rented during these years, a decrease in percentage can also be seen. A drop of almost ten percent was reported as time went by. Owned houses, however, increased in rate from about 22% in 1918 to 50% in 1971.

The differences between the proportion of owned and leased houses during the...

Sample essay: Many people from different walks of life are opting to reside in foreign countries for various reasons. This, however, often results to issues that are inevitable but are not severe. What kinds of problems arise when immigrating to another country? Perhaps one of the biggest barrier to be considered is language.

Although, it is important to point out that this is a foreseeable dilemma that can be addressed and therefore is not considered severe.   Another issue related to migration is adaptation. Ideally, people prefer to mingle with those they easily identify with. That is, we create a small community that follows and accepts the same beli...
