School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The
uniform of a school may differ from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are
some reasons.
First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998
concerning school uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms
have no direct effect on “substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance” It also claimed
a negative effect on student achievements for those students considered ‘pro-school’.
Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of
belonging to a particular community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up
academic standards, which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are being
reopened with a fresh start after being classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes
of the school and of each other. In institutions without uniform students are often competitive
and worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should wear. Pupils without
expensive designer clothes and trainers may be singled out as social outcasts, or stigmatized
as being from poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents prefer uniforms as they save
them money on buying clothes for school wear. Considering the findings, schools should
implement the uniform as their identity. The government should also publish some kind of
rule which makes uniform compulsory for schools.

smokE.

others. Passive smoking that is breathing in smoke made by a smoker can lead to asthma
attacks and even cancer.
Finally, smoking is dangerous and a health risk to the smokers. Cigarettes cause heart
and lung disease and people should not smoke anywhere, not just in restaurants.
Therefore, smoking in restaurants is impolite, harmful to others and a health risk to
the smokers and should not be allowed in any restaurants.

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been serious
problem for three reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological
specimens and experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water
which is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for
food preservatives. Of course when it is used for food preservative, it will be very dangerous
to human’s body.
 The second reason is that there is no tight control from the government. This
condition makes the people’s health is really in a threat. When the control is weak and the use
formalin was spread wide all over the Indonesian regions, and these days it has really
happened, the citizen’s bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food
traders still sell their products which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you
imagine that our digestive system absorbs the substance that should be for the human and
animal corpses?
Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of formalin and other
preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved immediately.
