There are different views about whether the philanthropic activities of charities should be nationally or internationally. While the deprived citizens of a country should be prioritized, I believe that it is feasible to help people all around the world as well.

There is a common argument that charity begins at home. Advocates of this idea contend that each government, along with its organizations, is responsible for its own residents. That is because people raise funds to alleviate poverty and increase the welfare of their countrymen who are in need. They assume that if they provide the basic needs of poor people, they will contribute to the prosperity of their country. In other words, people who do not struggle with necessities including food, shelter and medication, can strive for higher education which eventually leads to their society's development. Consequently, allocating donations to domestic people is their priority.

On the other hand, opponents look at this issue from a different perspective. Firstly, they emphasize humanity irrespective of nationality, ethnicity, religion, and other discriminatory factors. Additionally, developed countries are financially richer than underdeveloped ones, which makes it possible to help suffering individuals in other regions. For example, a considerable number of affluent businessmen living in America donate money and food to miserable people of Africa. If they had restricted their generosity to their own country, a higher number of Africans would have died from starvation.

In conclusion, although charity organizations are better to address the problems of their own country, they ought to be mindful of the world's moneyless humans who have no support, as well.

The pie chart illustrates the results of a survey among the full-time and part-time students regarding the services provided by a university library.  

Overall, the majority of full-time and part-time students were very satisfied with the opening hours, while other students were quite or not at all happy, ranking second and third respectively. In terms of IT support, more than half of the full-time students were very happy, while most of the part-time students were not at all satisfied with the services. 

In detail, 72% of part-time and 67% of full-time students were very happy about the opening hours. 32% of full-time participants reported being quite happy, while this option was chosen by 23% of part-time participants. In addition, only 1% of full-time and 5% of part-time students were not at all happy, accounting for the least proportion of the population. 

Although 55% of full-time students were very happy with the provided IT support, 45% of part-time participants were not at all satisfied with the services. In contrast, 32% of full-time and 35% of part-time university students were quite happy, both representing the second highest proportion. The lowest figure for full-time students was for those who were not at all happy, at 13%, whereas the lowest figure for the other group was very happy, at 20%.

The pie charts compare a survey result about the opening hours and IT support of a university's library conducted by both full-time and part-time students. Overall, most of them were happy about both services though the full-time students were happier than their part-time colleagues and also a greater share of students were happy with opening hours than with IT support.

Nearly all of the students were happy about the opening hours, with two third of full-time students being very happy about it (67%) and one third of them quite happy (32%). Just 1% of them were unhappy about it, which is the lowest percentage of unhappiness in all charts. Part-time students had nearly the same opinions, with 72% of them saying they are very happy about current opening hours, which is the peak of being very happy, though unhappiness was much higher compared to full-time students, at 5%.

Nevertheless, students were generally less happy about IT support. Full-time students still were happy about it but 13% of them were unhappy, which is much higher percentage compared to their opinion about opening hours. Part-time students, however, had the highest share of unhappiness, at 45%. Yet 35% of them were quite happy with IT support and consequently, only 20% of them were very happy with it.

The pie charts illustrate the results of a university library survey of full-time and part-time students regarding their satisfaction with current opening hours and IT support.

Overall, The highest percentage of students were very happy with the current opening hours in both groups. Similarly, the highest proportion of full-time students were very happy with IT support, while the percentage of students that were not happy at all, reached the highest figure in part-time students.

With regard to the current opening hours, the majority of students were very satisfied in both categories, 67% and 72% of students were very happy in full-time and part-time, respectively. In contrast, students who were not satisfied at all, showed the lowest figure, with only 1% of full-time and 5% of part-time. Moreover, students who felt quite satisfied had a moderate share at about 32% and 23% in full-time and part-time students.

In terms of IT support, 55% of full-time students were very happy, compared with 20% of part-time students. In addition, the proportion of students who were quite satisfied, accounted for 32% of full-time and 35% of part-time. However, those who felt not satisfied at all, were significantly higher at 45% in part-time students, in comparison only 13% in full-time students.

It is claimed by some people that modernity causes traditional and cultural values to vanished over time. While I agree that many of these customs will have been abolished in the future, I believe that a number of them are unforgettable.

Modernity has brought substancial changes to our societies of which technology is the most prominent aspect. Thereby, we have neglected some of our traditions and cultural habits inevitably. For instance, visiting acquaintances, particularly the elderly, used to be an integral part of our cultural heritage, while it has faded recently due to new communication methods. In fact, people prioritize their other desires over spending time with their extended family, and just like their posts on social media. In addition, modern life is so hectic with a lot of obstacles and challenges. Therefore, individuals have to make extra effort to keep pace with today's fast-paced life. Consequently, they do not have time to pursue all of their traditional beliefs that causes them to become extinct after years.

However, there are several customs that are of primary importance. That is because they form our identity as a nation, and without them we would not be distinguished from other nationalities. So, citizens of a country try to not only preserve them, but also transfer them to the next generations. For example, Nowruz, which is an ancient Persian holiday, is highly regarded by Irainians. During Nowruz people get together to celebrate their 2500-year-old history and civilization. Such events reinforce social bonds and national solidarity. As a result, they do not allow any factor to wipe out this cultural ceremony.

In conclusion, in my opinion, although various traditions have been undermined owing to modern lifestyles, a few of them have survived thanks to their powerful roots.

It is believed that local people may not tend to follow their traditions and costumes in the future because of modernization in the world. I give my vote to this view owing to the fact that individuals' tastes have changed in recent years.

On the one hand, some cultures and traditions may not disappear in the future. To commence with, some nations may preserve their traditions from being faded in the future, so as to encourage indigenous people to respect their cultures. What some African tribals have done is impose strict regulations to prevent local individuals from following fashion in their territories, which means that citizens should follow their local traditional and cultural values in African nations.

However, the impacts of other factors that cannot be ignored hinder local people from following their traditions and cultures. To start off with, most dwellers have been ardent fans of using the latest technologies in their lives, in order to connect with foreign people. This means that users' tastes may change when they are faced with other traditions and cultures through searching on social media, which reveals that some cultures and traditions may be interesting for local people, so they might lose their interest in following their traditions. Another factor that should be taken into account is that TV channels and series may be intriguing for viewers when they watch TV, which shows that most TV series and movies may be shown in some particular costumes. That is to say, local people may not be willing to follow their traditions and cultural values when they are influenced by some movies that aim to illustrate different types of traditions and costumes. For instance, most movies which are captured show Western cultural values; hence, people may not tend to respect their culture when they are absorbed by American movies.

In conclusion, it is often assumed that some cultures may be fading due to the lack of interest among local people in following their traditional lifestyles. I am of the notion that some cultures may not exist due to the internet and individuals' approaches to watching movies.

Some people argue that traditional cultural values and behaviors will gradually disappear as societies become more modern. I largely agree with this view, as technological advancement and globalization are significantly transforming the way people live, communicate, and prioritize their values.

One of the main reasons traditional values are declining is the rapid development of technology. Modern devices such as smartphones, social media platforms, and the internet have reshaped social interaction. Younger generations, in particular, tend to spend more time engaging in digital activities rather than participating in family gatherings or cultural ceremonies. As a result, customs that were once central to community life are becoming less common. For example, in many societies, traditional celebrations are no longer observed with the same enthusiasm as in the past because people are more focused on individual entertainment and online communication.

In addition, modernization promotes individualism and fast-paced lifestyles. In earlier times, people placed greater emphasis on family unity and collective traditions. However, modern societies often prioritize career success, education, and personal achievement. Many individuals feel that strictly adhering to traditional practices can be time-consuming or restrictive. Consequently, some cultural behaviors are gradually fading as people adopt more practical and convenient ways of living.

In conclusion, although some traditions may survive or adapt to modern conditions, it is undeniable that modernization contributes to the decline of certain cultural values and behaviors. Therefore, I agree that traditional practices are at risk of disappearing as societies continue to develop.

The charts show the percentage of a survey that was conducted at a university, about some students who had activities at a library at different times. Overall, more students are satisfied with the opening hours in a library, especially the kind of students who were studying full-time in the library. Full-time students were more fulfilled than part-time students with the opening hours and the IT services. However, the largest proportion of dissatisfied students belonged to the IT support services.

Nearly 100% of full-time students were satisfied about openning hours of the library. In addition, the percentage of fulfilling part-time pupils are 95%. Although the 6% of students were completely dissatisfied about openning hours, it was 1% and 5% for full-time and part-time enrollees respectively.  

The IT support services were complained about by most students who went to the library, the percentage of dissatisfaction of scholars was 13% and 45% for full-time and part-time of respectively. By contrast, the number of students who liked this part of the library is roughly 90% for  full-time and 55% for part-time among the young people.

The given pie charts illustrate the results of a university survey on the opinions of full-time and part-time students about the library services. 
Overall, there were two main questions in the survey asking about the students’ satisfaction with the opening hours and the IT support. Regarding the opening hours of the library more than half of the students in both groups (full-time and part-time) were happy with those hours. However, for the other question a bigger proportion of the full-time students were satisfied and the part-time students were not happy at all about the IT support of the library. 
The satisfaction with the opening hours is higher in the part-time students (72%) compared to the full-time students (67%). On the other hand, the full-time students have less dissatisfaction with the opening hours (1%). About the IT support that is offered by the library the full-time students are more satisfied with 55%. In contrast, the small proportion of the part-time students are pleased with the IT support (20%) and the biggest share belongs to the students that are displeased (45%) about the provided support.
