Superior
cognitive skills are what have made countless intellectual achievements,
innovations and discoveries possible. They enable us to correctly judge
situations, grasp their implications and
see their significance. They provide the opportunity to make the world a better
place. However, scores on reading comprehension and maths have been dropping
over the years. Does this mean we are not as sharp as we used to be? Do your
research and find out why we are losing some of our cognitive skills and what
can be done about it. It is suggested
that you do this research over a couple of days. When you are ready, write
your essay.
