He thinks that in most cases, when a child starts working after a lengthy period of tertiary education, his parents would be getting old. These seniors would need someone to take care of them and to take them to medical appointments, for example. The best candidates to do so are their own children.If people continue living with their parents even after becoming financially independent, they can ensure that their parents have someone to talk to and do things with. But I have different opinions from him.Maybe we can become independent while living with our parents,it also has a problem.Our parents will prepare everything for us,we cannot get a chance to do by ourselves.It is highly likely that singles will quickly learn to be independent if they live away from their parents.The author believes that if we live away from our parents,we won't have free time to accompany them.I disagree with this point.Because we can go back home on weekend and have a dinner with parents.We just move out of our parents,we do not sever ties with...

...Changing the importance of the three sectors 1. What are the 3 sectors of business activity? There are three sectors and they are: • The Primary Sector- this is the sector where raw materials are collected for example, farming, fishing and mining. • The Secondary Sector- In this sector the raw materials are manufactured and turned into a selling product, for example making a plastic bottle from oil. • The Tertiary Sector- this is the retail sector where the manufactured products are sold but also is where some businesses provide a service. 2. Copy the graph on pg 108 to show the changing employment levels in the different sectors over the last 20 years in the UK. This graph is showing us that in 1985 there use to be more employees in the more labour jobs like mining and quarrying, textiles and motor cars but in 2000 these had fallen instead there were more jobs in hotels and restaurants, recreation and sport than in 1985. 3. Explain 2 reasons why there has been a decrease in the primary sector in the UK: The primary sector has decreased because of advanced technology and everything is becoming automated. For example, in farms where raw materials were usually dug up by hand, they are now using machines to do it instead. This is because it is cheaper to buy machines as it is faster and more efficient. The result therefore is that costs are reduced and profits are increased, but also fewer people are needed to work in these sectors. 4. Explain 2 reasons why there...

Okwu Department of Agricultural Extension and Communication, University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Nigeria E-mail: oto079@yahoo.com KEYWORDS Students; vices; education; socialization; society; social problems ABSTRACT One of the most pressing issues in minds of people in Nigeria as far as education is concerned today is that pertaining to the quality or standard of education. Qualitative education should lead to detectable gains in knowledge, skills and values. There are, however, several students’ vices that seem to be militating against realization of the desired qualitative education in Nigerian tertiary institutions. Some of these vices are cultism, drug abuse, examination malpractice, obscene dressing and sexual promiscuity/harassment. Each of these vices and the possible social and academic implications are explained. Major employers of Nigerian graduates have widely agreed on quality decline in higher education in the country, particularly in the areas of communication in oral and written English and technical proficiency. It is recommended that the responsibility of preventing or curbing general students’ vices in Nigerian tertiary institutions be a collective one resting on parents, teachers, religious leaders, authorities of the institutions as well as government. This can be done through appropriate upbringing...
