Topic: Reflection on National Values and Principles

As the country prepares to celebrate its national day, there is a need to reflect on the values and principles outlined in the preamble of the constitution. While the past year has been tumultuous, with divisive issues causing much debate and controversy, it is important to hold on to the tenacity of our beliefs and remain united. The imminent threat of climate change requires us to concede that immediate action is necessary, and we must all work together to make a positive impact. The recent influx of migrants has had both positive and negative repercussions on the economy, and there is a need to balance their arrival with the needs of the existing population. The government’s rhetoric on the issue has been widely debated, with some arguing for more support and others advocating for stricter controls. Despite the vexed issue, there is a sense of optimism and a belief that we can overcome the challenges we face with determination and perseverance.
