It is clear that environmental factors determine one’s intelligence, as explained in my persuasive essay: Is Intelligence determined by nature or nurture? This means that environmental factors such as education, adoption, smoking, and drinking influence one’s intelligence significantly. If these factors are handled properly, it is possible to increase average intelligence and make this world a better place to live in. However, it is impossible to do this if we do not stand up and take action. To help with the cause of intelligence, we should study harder, support children in deprived countries, and help others struggling with smoking or drinking problems.
As students, we should focus more on our education and study hard- not because it is our job to do so, but to improve our intelligence. We should not take education for granted, but be grateful that we are able to have it. We should always challenge ourselves to attempt at harder problems that will enable us to develop our critical thinking skills. Knowing the importance of education, we should also help children and teenagers in other countries get education too. We can do this by donating through various organizations or even volunteering as a teacher if we have a chance to travel. I have had a wonderful experience this summer as I volunteered as an elementary English teacher in Thailand. There were only 15 students in my class and sometimes I could not communicate with them, but it was an experience that I would never forget. If you are not able to travel, you can donate through an organization called “World education.” They will give your donation to 50 different countries in Asia and Latin America that need funds for the cause of education.
Since it is now clear that smoking and drinking has a huge affect on one’s intelligence, we should act out by encouraging people who are struggling with smoking and drinking problems to seek help. There are many non-profit and government organizations that can help those who have decided to end their bad habits. One of them, you might have heard about it too, is the Alcoholic Anonymous (AA). This non-profit organization calls itself “a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.” The only requirement for a membership is a desire to stop drinking; there are no dues or fees. AA will try their best to help their members stay sober. For smokers who are willing to quit, there is an online service called “Quitnet.” They claim to be the world’s largest and most comprehensive online quit-smoking service. Quitnet offers smokers with tools and support to quit smoking and stay quit. They provide research-based advice and give access to public or private counseling with an experienced quit-specialist also.
There are multiple ways to get involved with the cause of intelligence. With your small action, the world can become a much better place to live in. It is not too difficult to act out. Just study hard, donate, and help those suffering with alcohol and/or smoking. We need you to act out now!
