Mobile Phone, Is It Good Or Bad?

We are in the period when technology has developed so rapidly. We can meet technology in
various ranges such as education, medical, communications, etc. One of those examples is
Mobile Phone.

Today, mobile phone is getting popular for teens because it offers practicality with various
features. They use it for communication and entertainment. Yet, such development has impact
for its users, particularly for youths.

The advance of mobile phone has a good impact because teens can be more knowledgeable
about anything. It can be easier to find out something new. They also can use mobile phones to
facilitate their study or work.

Unfortunately, the use of mobile phone can also be bad for youths. For example, the growth
of mobile phone causes teens and even children to become addicted. This might have impacts on
their physical and psychological condition. Besides, teenagers can also forget to fulfill their
responsibility to learn.

To conclude, as teenagers we should not be too addicted to mobile phone. We should take
advantage of any gadget as good as possible. It’s better to use a mobile phone for suitable needs
without disturbing others’ interests.

 What are the pros and cons of falling in love with your best friend?

Everyone must have best friends in their lives. A best friend is someone you believe you
can trust your life with. A best friend is the first person you call when you have the most
amazing things in your life, and when you are in the most horrific incidents. But, what if you fall
in love with your best friends? If you have decided to choose your best friend as someone you
will share your life with, there is a lot to consider. Take a moment to consider the advantages and
disadvantages of taking your friendship to the next level.

Having a serious relationship with someone you’ve only been best friends until now may
not be an easy task, but the following advantages may just make taking the risk worth it. Firstly,
you have already laid the groundwork. A strong emotional bond is a strong foundation of any
successful relationship. Next, you can bypass the awkward stuff. The good news about dating
your best friend is that you can simply enjoy the excitement of taking your relationship to the
next level. Besides, you have already had a solid emotional bond and have shared history of
togetherness such as graduating from the same university together or gathering family by your
side. Having shared important moments in each other’s lives will make your connection stronger
and even more likely to last.

On the other side, dating your best friend has also some disadvantages. Before taking a
romantic relationship with your best friend, take a moment to consider the following drawbacks.
First, are you willing to make the sacrifice? What if it doesn’t last? If you break up, you might
loss your friendship forever. Second, there is always a possibility for not having a mutual feeling
between both of you. Decide in advance what your plans might be if your friend does not
reciprocate: can you continue your friendship with him/her? Could you take it if he/she dates
someone else? Third, although you’ll bypass the awkward getting-to-know-you stage, missing
out on discovering a new person, their personality and their interests could prove to be a little
boring for you.

While there are risks involved with confessing romantic feelings to your best friend, it is
worth remembering that the greatest and most successful relationships often grow from great
friendships, and it might just be the best decision you’ll ever make.

Should the death penalty be allowed?

Some people were executed in Indonesia through July 2016. Most death penalty cases
involve the execution of drug peddlers although capital punishment can also be applied for
treason, espionage, and other crimes. Many for and against reactions came after the execution.
Then, should the death penalty be allowed in Indonesia?

Proponents of the death penalty say that it is an important tool for law enforcement, deters
crime, and costs less than life imprisonment. They also argue that retribution or "an eye for an
eye" honors the victim, helps console grieving families, and ensures that the perpetrators of
heinous crimes never have an opportunity to cause future tragedy.

Opponents of capital punishment say that it has no deterrent effect on crime, gives
governments’ overlapped power to take human life, and potentially makes social injustices by
disproportionately targeting people of color (racist) and people who cannot afford good attorneys
(classist). They say lifetime jail sentences are a more appropriate than death.

In conclusion, death penalty will always exist in our society as well as its pros and cons. For
the proponents of this action, they think that it will be very effective to deter crime. While for
those who are against this policy, they argue that this punishment will potentially make social
injustice.
