Was trying to practise writing GP essay just now... ended up with only the intro before my brain went dead and refused to churn out anything.

TJC Prelims 2007 GP Paper 1 Qns 2

Do you agree that we live in a dangerous world?

Danger is a term familiar to Man, as it is to all other living creatures on Earth. To label something as a danger, it must first threaten life. To live, in itself, is to challenge danger and risk. The need for competition is inborn in all humans and life, and because competition is present, there will always be insecurities which would subsequently lead to risk and danger when people try to be rid of these insecurities. Danger need not necessarily be direct, such as mortal danger; it can be indirect. A needle dipped in lethal poison and isolated from people is not dangerous, but it certainly has the potential to kill. That needle is thereby considered a danger to others. Since there is life on Earth, and humans are alive, we would forever live in a dangerous world.
