question 1/5
Should the government or the public pay for health care? The topic of who should pay for healthcare is highly controversial and very complex. A person’s opinion on this topic is likely to be related to his or her political and ethical views. There are four major methods of funding healthcare systems in the developed world: direct payment by the user, taxation from the public, national health insurance, and private health insurance (Smith, 2015). The first two methods can be viewed as government-provided healthcare, while the latter two represent a user (public)-paid system. This essay analyses these four possible models of healthcare and argues that a combination of the two categories is the best system. Adapted from: Chan, L., Chan, L., Legg, M., Tsang, W.L.

The search for sources of energy began when humans first started to burn wood or other forms of biomass to generate heat for cooking and smelting. This was followed by development of hydropower from rivers and wind energy from windmills, before the later exploitation of chemical energy from sources such as coal and oil and natural gas. In the middle of the twentieth century, nuclear energy appeared for the first time, with the hope for cheaper and more efficient energy production (Bodansky, 2004). However, it has become the subject of considerable debate, with proponents arguing it helps the environment as it does not produce carbon dioxide (CO2). Opponents, on the other hand, argue it damages the environment through radioactive waste, and may also cause harm to human health. These people thus assert that alternative energy sources, such as solar power, are better options to explore. This essay attempts to assess the risks of using nuclear power, in comparison with other energy sources. The main arguments for using nuclear energy are first considered, followed by an examination of the safety issues around this source of power.

Adapting international brands to China: the case of IKEA In summary, IKEA’s product policy in China has been to successfully standardise products as much as possible, but also customise as much as needed. However, it has learned that service is also vital: free delivery and installation are the perceived rules in the local market which it needs to follow. It has further found that it is better to locate in a downtown area, easily accessible with public transport, when free delivery is not provided. International companies that operate in China, such as IKEA, thus face more complex marketing decisions than local companies. They must therefore become more culture-conscious and thoroughly research local requirements rather than simply introduce a standard model of business.

QUESTION 4/5
Should the United Nations be reformed?Overall, it appears that the world is facing numerous crises, and the United Nations is instrumental in helping to resolve these. However, a number of reforms are indeed needed. With regard to the environment, it should try to get international agreement on future strategies to combat global warming. In addition, it should re-examine how it conducts peacekeeping, and provide as much support as possible to developing countries. The scope of this essay has been limited to the three areas of environment, peacekeeping and economics, but reforms may also be needed in other areas. It is therefore advisable to conduct further research into this in the future, to ensure the UN can continue to function as effectively as possible in its vital role in offering solutions to world problems.

QUESTION 5/5
There should be a compulsory retirement age. To what extent do you agree with this statement? In conclusion, the evidence suggests that the introduction of a compulsory retirement age does not seem to be in the best interests of the organisation or its employees. Retaining older employees appears to be more advantageous to the organisation than forcing them to retire in order to promote younger workers. Collaboration and coaching between older and younger workers is likely to strengthen the company and provide valuable developmental support to ambitious younger staff. Moreover, older employees can be a valuable asset to the company and its productivity, due to their knowledge, years of experience and loyalty. As the global workforce ages, then, it seems clear that with the appropriate organisational support, employees should be able to decide when to retire.
