Corruption and Indonesian Culture

Corruption has happened for many years and today it becomes a bad culture in Indonesia for
three reasons.
Most adult Indonesian or foreigners have known and admitted that corruptions happen in many
places. The daily newspapers, news programs on TV and radio have reported corruptions are done
everywhere, almost in all departments or public services of this country. Corruptions happen in health,
education departments and banks. When we manage to get some documents in public service offices,
we usually need much money to pay. Manipulations happen everywhere.
The actions to eliminate corruption are weak. The ever stronger culture seems not to come to
an end when the responsible institutions who have to reinforce the justice today commit corruption.
This is the worst. Corruptions happen in police department, courts where judges, public prosecutors,
lawyers make deals to do corruption. All of us also heard in the end of 2004, Probo Sutejo reported that
he had bribed the Supreme Court, or called Mahkamah Agung which becomes the highest level where
the justice can be obtained. Perhaps you have to try to come to the local courts and see what happen
there. You will see practices of bribery and other kinds of corruption. Therefore, we can say that
corruptions becomes our culture. Do you like it?
The citizens have no goodwill to fight against the corruption. They create the situations in which
people have opportunities to do corruptions. The citizens like to break the rules because they are not
disciplined. For example, in the street when they drive a car or ride motorcycle, they do not have the
driving license or necessary documents. Then, they are caught by the local policemen. To avoid more
difficulties, they like to bribe the officer. The officer let them go then. In other words, the citizens and
officers are the same, doing corruption together. If only the people were critical, disciplined, and obey
the rules, and willing to report any wrong behaviors, this country will not be number one corrupting
country in the world.
Conclusion based on the reasons, we can conclude that corruption is becoming a bad culture in
Indonesia if it is not ended soon by all of us. It seems that there must be more severe penalty for the
Corruptors. Do we still care about the future of this country?

The Dangerous of Using Drugs

Everybody must pay attention of drugs. Drugs are very dangerous for us. Why it is very
dangerous for us? Because its can caused harm to our body.
In terms of health, many organs in our body can be harm because using drug. In general, the
impact of using drug are can unconscious, make us hallucinate, can harm our nerve, and cause addictive
effect. Beside that, using drugs can make the users depressed, liver disease, schizophrenia, blockage of
blood vessels, dehydration, optic nerve damage, brain damage, and finally it can cause DEATH!
When viewed in terms of Islamic law, drugs are forbidden. Because it is cause badness, self
harm, debilitate. And Islam proscribes all that can cause badness, self harm because it is included
zhalim. Also if we using drugs, it means we already do the forbidden things in Islam, it means we sin. So,
in terms of Islamic law, using drugs also dangerous.
Furthermore, if the users of drugs are teenagers, it can endanger their future, and endanger
their homeland, their country. From the data, 32 percent of drugs users in Indonesia are teenagers, so, if
many teenagers –in this case Indonesia- use drugs, it can be endanger this country, harm youth
generation, whereas youths are nation expectation. If the youth using drugs, our nation can be destroy!
So, from now on we must pay attention of drugs, because it’s very dangerous, both in terms of
health, religion , nationality and state.

Is Smoking Good for Us ?

Before we are going to smoke, it is better to look at the fact. About 50 thousands people die every year
in Britain as direct result of smoking. This is seven times as many as die in road accidents. Nearly a
quarter of smokers die because of diseases caused by smoking.

Ninety percent of lung cancers are caused by smoking. If we smoke five cigarettes a day, we are six times
more likely to die of lung cancer than a non smoker. If we smoke twenty cigarettes a day, the risk is
nineteen greater. Ninety five percent of people who suffer of bronchitis are people who are smoking.
Smokers are two and half times more likely to die of heart disease than non smokers.

Additionally, children of smoker are more likely to develop bronchitis and pneumonia. In one hour in
smoky room, non smoker breathes as much as substance causing cancer as if he had smoked fifteen
cigarettes.

Smoking is really good for tobacco companies because they do make much money from smoking habit.
Smoking however is not good for every body else.

USE OF FORMALIN AND OTHER ADDITIVES IN FOODS

The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been a serious for two reasons.
Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimen and experiments. Formalin in
