A group discussion is an arrangement where a group of individuals sit and share their ideas and opinions on a certain topic. Body language and speaking skills result in an effective group discussion.

Means, the GD board is taking examination whether you know the subject well, are able to present your point of view in a reasonable manner, are noticed in understanding what others feel about the same subject and are able to conduct yourself with elegance in a group situation.

1) Murderous Online Games - How to Protect Our Youth?

The society in which we are residing suicide is supposed to be an evil factor which is not supported by any religion and it is treated as illegal act in our law. Then what motivates these teenagers to get involved in such dangerous acts. In my opinion today’s lifestyle which has made our behavior quite mechanical. Modern family has transformed from joint to nuclear which has created a gap in relationships. People are busy enough in their household responsibilities ignoring basic relations. Maximum suffering is faced by teenagers as they are in transition age they need time and advice of their elders which is ignored in the family due to many practical reasons. Such circumstances are leading to a feeling of loneliness which makes teenagers to get diverted towards online friends, games and other activities. This world of internet is full of positive and negative aspects. A child of age group between 12 to16 is too small to handle this world of fascination accordingly he is trapped by some persons with negative intentions.Bluewhale game is one of them.

2) Bullet trains in India: pros and cons: While the country seemed excited when Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a diamond quadrilateral of bullet trains to connect the four major cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai in his venture called “Smart cities” project, critics have a lot to say. There are reasons to be happy about this project and there are reasons that drive us to ponder if this is the first priority of a nation with majority of its population below poverty line. Let us look at it from all point of views and generate our own opinion on this.

3) Hard work or Smart work - Which is important? If you only work harder you get a high-quality end product, better intellect of achievement, and appreciably more assurance in what you have done, and you receive much more respect for the work put forth.

Smart work and hard work both walks together. Smartness needs experience and experience comes with hard work. For example In any exam be it aptitude or other subjective exam person do lot of hard work to clear all its concepts and then only he can apply shortcuts to solve those problems in shorter time. I have paid attention anywhere that you must know how to do hard work but in a smarter way to endure in today's world.

4)Demonetization, Merits and Demerits of cashless economy: The government of India recently took a bold step to demonetize Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency, which means that the legal tender of currency units is declared invalid from the specified date.

Demonetization of currency means discontinuity of the said currency from circulation and replacing it with a new currency.

Most of the people hailed the Modi's strong decision, while poor were shocked by the move. The overnight decision changed the life of many as black money holders were worried about the pile of cash they were sitting on. Many poor daily wage workers were left with no job and income as owners were unable to pay their daily wage.

5) Smart phones Start Up India, India is now the second-largest Smartphone market in the world after China. The Mark 1 is launching at a tough time for Indian Smartphone makers, however, as they battle competition from foreign companies. For example, Micromax was the top Smartphone brand in India last year, but that position has been supplanted by Samsung. Xiaomi and Lenovo are also aggressively wooing Indian consumers—even though both companies are based in China, they each opened a Smartphone manufacturing plant in India last year.

Everyone else boosts the same hardware, cameras, and processors. There’s no point in doing that anymore,” Srinivas says. “That’s why we believe our philosophy is very, very valid, because at the end of the day, the user is not going to see the hardware. They will see the software and the more the user can get from the software month after month, the more attached they will be.”

Stand Up India - Prospering Entrepreneurial Culture, There are different motives why the young generation more willing to go and start their own company rather than being a part of MNCs.Youth is more risking taking and ready to take up even the most challenging task. Equipped with self confidence, knowledge, capability to work in teams and other skills which are pretty much required to succeed in the corporate world.

They are very much hard working and have a go getters attitude. They want to put in a lot of efforts and in return expect an equivalent returns. The MNCs demand dedication but they are not able to reciprocate it with their rewards causing a feeling of frustration.

Start Ups give the freedom to the person to way in which he always wanted to work. Setting their own rules and the chance to realize the dreams. It requires a huge effort to make a Start Up successful but the youth is ready to face the challenge and deliver despite the hindrances that he may face.

They want to solve the problems of the world, they want to contribute in the nation building and money is seldom their end motive. They want to generate values by their hard work and work passionately to achieve their task.

6)Do we really need Smart Cities? The rate of migration from rural to urban areas is increasing across the world day by day. By 2050, around 70% of the people will be living in cities and India is no exception in this regard. There is a promising require for the cities to get smarter in India so that it would handle the issues related with the large scale urbanization. Smart city can be defined as a city which should be equipped with basic infrastructure to give a decent quality of life.

Newly, our Prime Minister Modiji has declared in his apparition to set up around 100 smart cities across the nation. The 100 smart city missions tend to promote the adoption of smart solutions for the proper use of available resources and infrastructure.

Indian and other international students scared of studying in Trump's America

This is June and about time that students from all over the world will fly to the US for higher studies. This year, however, there is a palpable sense of trepidation among students as the President of the US has come out in the open proposing much stricter immigration policy. In the recently held US Embassy's Annual Visa Day at New Delhi, the Consul General George Hogeman admitted, "Security is our number one priority when adjudicating visas...We will not issue a visa to anyone who we think is a threat to people of the US."

It is not the students alone who are anxious about the changing political climate in the US, the universities have also come forth expressing concern at the falling rate of international students seeking admission in their institutions. The fall semester is scheduled to start from mid-August to early September. Universities in the US already know how many international students are enrolling for the upcoming year. And the enrollment figures staring at them on their face is making them scared.

As much as the world tend to think that international students covet degrees from American universities, it is equally true that these institutions of higher learning actively pursue potential students from all over the world.

In the recession-hit US where funds for higher education is fast drying up, international students bring a huge amount of money to the universities. For instance, California state colleges collect an average of $28,000 per year from state residents for tuition and living costs. But they receive nearly twice as much from non-residents. The fact that international students who self-finance their college education pay twice the amount an American citizen pays is true for all state-run educational institutions in the US.

In the last year alone, Chinese students contributed $11 billion to the U.S. economy, while Indian students contributed another $5 billion.

Beyond the educational campuses, the US subsequently benefits from the skill, expertise and knowledge of these students. Recent statistics, however, reveal that this mutually beneficial relationship is under threat as increasing number of foreign students is showing disinterest in studying in the US.

A recent article in Inside Higher Ed shows that nearly 40 per cent of U.S. colleges is seeing declines in applications from international students. International student recruitment professionals, who play a decisive role in bringing foreign students to the US universities, reports that prospective students and their families are showing "a great deal of concern" about visas. More importantly, they are worried whether, with the election of President Trump, the US has developed a less-welcoming climate for foreign nationals.

It is not the students or parents alone who has expressed concerns about the changing political climate in the US. International educators teaching there have reportedly felt that “that the political discourse surrounding foreign nationals in the U.S. leading up to the November 2016 U.S. presidential election could be damaging to international student recruitment efforts.”

In response to the concerns expressed by the international teaching community, a survey was conducted among 250 American colleges and universities. Thirty-eight per cent of institutions responding to the survey reported a decline in their total number of international applications across both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The highest reported declines involved applications from the Middle East. Thirty-nine percent of universities reported declines in undergraduate applications from the Middle East, while 31 per cent reported declines in graduate applications. Following Trump's executive order, which banned nationals of six countries from the Middle East and Africa, it is easy to understand that number of students coming to the US from Iran will fall drastically. Incidentally, Iran still holds 11th position in terms of numbers of students it supplies to the US.

Thirty-eight per cent of institutions responding to the survey reported a decline in their total number of international applications across both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The survey reveals a significant drop in applications from China and India. The two countries, together, account for nearly half of all international students in the US. A quarter of universities responding to the survey reported declines in undergraduate applications from China, and 32 per cent reported declines in Chinese graduate applications. As for India, 26 per cent reported declines in undergraduate applications from the country, and 15 per cent reported declines in graduate applications.

Portland State University happens to be one of worst affected academic institution in the US. The University reports a 27 per cent drop in the number of Indian students applying to its graduate programs for the fall. Most of the Indian applicants to the University are looking to attend computer science or engineering programmes.

Wim Wiewel, Portland State’s president admitted that "...the rhetoric and actual executive orders are definitely having a chilling effect on decisions by current applicants/admitted students, and by extension are likely to affect future applicants as well.” Wiewel is, however, hopeful that if nothing "too bad happens in the future", the American universities will recover from the present slump. But even he found it difficult to deny that the world is watching how the US behaves.

Though universities participating in the survey have pointed out that the demonetisation incident in India did contribute to some extent in the slump of students making their way to the US, there is indeed a great deal of anxiety among Indian students about job opportunities in the US.

One of the main reasons that international students look up to the US as an academic destination is because they want to work there. Having a degree from an academic institution in the US helps in getting a job in the country and, therefore, getting an H1B visa. Getting an H1B visa is the first step towards the goal of getting US citizenship. During his travels through India, Wiewel heard concerns from students about possible changes to the H-1B skilled worker visa programme. As the majority of students from India take a huge amount of loans to study in the US, the diminishing prospect of getting an H1B visa deters them to travel to the country.

This apprehension is clearly articulated by John J. Wood, the senior associate vice provost for international education at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Wood said, “A lot of the master’s students coming from India are ultimately hoping to get on the job market here through OPT and eventually H-1B”. Wood is here referring first to the optional practical training program, which allows international students to work for one to three years on their student visas after graduation. “There’s a lot of fear and anxiety about potential changes to H-1B and/or OPT that would limit their opportunities. Making the decision to invest in a master’s program when the uncertainty on the other end is there is an issue for a lot of students in India.”

The racial tension erupting in the country is further fueling tension among Indian students who initially dreamed of getting a degree from the US

The racial tension erupting in the country is further fueling tension among Indian students who initially dreamed of getting a degree from the US. Students are now more concerned about security issues. The recent shooting of Srinivas Kuchibhotla, an Indian national at a bar in Olathe, Kansas won't help. The FBI is investigating it as a hate crime. The gunman reportedly yelled “get out of my country” before opening fire, according to The Washington Post. A Sikh man originally from India who was wounded in a separate shooting in Kent, Washington, a little more than a week later similarly reported that he was told by the shooter to "go back to your own country," according to The Seattle Times.

“Those events affect us, whether we like it or not,” said Ahmad Ezzeddine, the associate vice president for educational outreach and international programs, at Wayne State University, where international applications are down, with the steepest drops in engineering. “The impact is not just going to be on Indian nationals. It could impact other students from other countries who may now be concerned about coming.”

University administrators fear that the worst is yet to come. If the immigration policies become tighter through the end of 2017, the apprehension is “the real hit is going to be next year.” Nicole Tami, the executive director of global education initiatives at the University of New Mexico sums it up when she says, “If that general kind of blanket attitude toward immigrants and international visitors continues, be they students or scholars, or professionals who come to work, I think people who have other opportunities -- and many do -- will go elsewhere, and there will be other countries that strategically benefit and profit from this current kind of climate,” she said.
