Corruption and Indonesian Culture
Thesis:
Corruption has happened for many years and today it becomes a bad culture in Indonesia for three reasons Argument 1: 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 servic es 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 Argument 2: 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 justi ce 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, Probosutejo 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? Argument 3: 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 necessar y 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 cit izens 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. Reiteration/ conclusion: 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?
A Campaign of the Importance of Reading Thesis: R eading habit is poor among Indonesians because most people haven’t realized the importance of reading
Argument 1 Reading is important to transform knowledge and technology. By reading, one knows the world. He or she will understand what he doesn’t see by himself or herself. The lines of the paragraphs in an article contain pieces of knowledge. The knowledge is needed to improve the quality of human’s life. Technology transformation from other country can only be done by reading a lot various sources of literature. Valuable books in libraries and bookstores mean nothing if they are not read. Argument 2 Realizing the importance of reading will make someone motivated to read. When we know that something is very important because it can give us valuable information, we will try to get or do the thing. For example, a businessman who always follows latest i nformation or news, will know what to do in his/ her business. He will make a good decision to make a transaction. Most people in all developed countries have realized the importance or reading and they have good reading habits. In bus and train stations, vehicles, waiting rooms, parks, people like reading. They enjoy reading which gives them valuable knowledge and inspiration. Argument 3 A good understanding toward the importance of reading can be achieved by well organized and effective campaign. To plant an understanding in a generation’s minds is not an easy job. It needs a hard work from all components of the nation, especially the government. A serious campaign which is organized by the central and local government can help common people wake up and stand to face the real competition. The campaign can be done through various kinds of mass media such as TV, radio, booklets, bulletins, newspapers, magazines. It can also be conducted by teachers, parents and all people who care. Recommendation Therefore, a nation-wide effective campaign of the importance of reading by all components of the nation should be done, facilitated by the government, to face the tighter competition. The world has forced globalization. Those people with little knowledge will be left behind. To speed up the better change in this country, a good reading habit is reall y important.
Corruption
Thesis (Announcement of issue concern)
Do you know what the meaning of corruption is? What is the relation between money and corruption? Well, corruption is common everywhere in the world, even in the United States. It’s just a matter of intensity. However, it is quite shocking when one reliable survey claims
Jakarta as the most corrupt place in Indonesia. Argument 1 The survey has made me sad, actually, because I stay and earn a living here in the capital. As most people know, Tanjung Priok port smuggling is not a new thing at all. Entrepreneurs who want to minimize their tax payments tend to do such a thing more often. They even bribe the officials. Argument 2 Well, I think the measures taken so far to overcome the problem by punishing the corruptors is still not far enough. We have to prevent the younger generations from getting a bad mentality caused by corruption. Recommendation I believe we should start at the earliest stages in school and I think everyone should be involved in the effort to eradicate corruption. We must not make any distinction. Adapted from: The Jakarta Post, February 2005
Is Smoking Good for Us?; Example of Analytical Exposition 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.
Notes on the generic structure of this example of analytical exposition As we know that both analytical exposition and hortatory exposition are classified as argumentative essay. Both present argument to support the thesis state in the orientation. This thesis places the writer’s position on the essay. From the generic structure, what make big different is that analytical exposition ends with paragraph to strengthen the thesis while hortatory makes a recommendation for readers. Thesis: This pre-conclusive paragraph states the writer’s point of view about the topic discussed. Writer has show himself in clear position of the discussed topic. Paragraph 1 is
the thesis of this analytical exposition text. It states the fact of the very fatal impact of the smoking habit. Clearly the writer wants to say that smoking is not a good habit. Arguments: Presenting arguments in analytical exposition text is as important as giving
conflict plot in narrative text. The series of argument will strengthen the thesis stated before. In this example of analytical exposition text, paragraph 2 and 3 are the detail arguments presented in a reporting fact to support that smoking is not good even for smokers themselves. Furthermore, people who do not smoke but they are in smoky area have the bad effect too from the smoking habit. Reiteration: This end paragraph actually is restating the thesis. It is something like conclusive paragraph from the previous arguments. The last paragraph of this example of
analytical exposition points again that smoking is not good for smokers and people around smokers. However smoking is very good for Cigarette Companies
Tesis: Korupsi telah terjadi selama bertahun-tahun dan hari ini menjadi budaya buruk di Indonesia karena tiga alasan
Argumen 1: Indonesia yang paling dewasa atau orang asing telah dikenal dan mengakui bahwa korupsi terjadi di banyak tempat. Surat kabar harian, program berita di TV dan radio telah melaporkan korupsi yang dilakukan di mana-mana, hampir di semua departemen atau pelayanan publik dari negara ini. Korupsi terjadi di departemen pendidikan kesehatan, dan bank. Ketika kita berhasil mendapatkan beberapa dokumen di kantor-kantor pelayanan publik, kita biasanya membutuhkan banyak uang untuk membayar. Manipulasi terjadi di mana-mana
Argumen 2: Tindakan untuk menghilangkan korupsi lemah. Budaya semakin kuat tampaknya tidak datang berakhir ketika lembaga-lembaga yang bertanggung jawab y ang harus memperkuat keadilan hari ini melakukan korupsi. Ini adalah yang terburuk. Korupsi terjadi di kepolisian, pengadilan di mana hakim, jaksa penuntut umum, pengacara membuat kesepakatan untuk melakukan korupsi. Semua dari kita juga mendengar pada akhir tahun 2004, Probosutejo melaporkan bahwa ia telah menyuap Mahkamah Agung, Mahkamah Agung atau disebut yang menjadi tingkat tertinggi di mana keadilan dapat diperoleh. Mungkin Anda harus mencoba untuk datang ke pengadilan setempat dan melihat apa yang terjadi di sana. Anda akan melihat praktik penyuapan dan jenis lain dari korupsi. Oleh karena itu, kita dapat mengatakan bahwa korupsi menjadi budaya kita. Apakah Anda suka?
Argumen 3: Warga tidak memiliki goodwill untuk melawan korupsi. Mereka menciptakan situasi di mana orangorang memiliki kesempatan untuk melakukan korupsi. Warga ingin melanggar aturan karena mereka tidak disiplin. Misalnya, di jalan ketika mereka mengendarai mobil atau sepeda motor naik, mereka tidak memiliki SIM atau dokumen yang diperlukan. Kemudian, mereka tertangkap oleh polisi setempat. Untuk menghindari lebih banyak kesulitan, mereka ingin menyuap petugas. P etugas membiarkan mereka pergi kemudian. Dengan kata lain, warga dan petugas yang sama, melakukan korupsi bersama-sama. Kalau saja orang-orang yang kritis, disiplin, dan mematuhi aturan, dan bersedia untuk melaporkan setiap perilaku yang salah, negara ini tidak akan menjadi nomor satu negara merusak di dunia.
Pengulangan / kesimpulan: Kesimpulan Berdasarkan alasan, kita dapat menyimpulkan bahwa korupsi m enjadi budaya buruk di Indonesia jika tidak segera berakhir o leh kita semua. Tampaknya bahwa harus ada lebih hukuman berat bagi koruptor. Apakah kita masih peduli tentang masa depan negara ini? Apakah Merokok Baik untuk Kami;? Contoh Analytical Exposition
Sebelum kita akan merokok, lebih baik untuk melihat kenyataan. Sekitar 50 ribu orang meninggal setiap tahun di Inggris sebagai akibat langsung dari merokok. Ini adalah tujuh kali sebanyak meninggal dalam kecelakaan di jalan. Hampir seperempat dari perokok mati karena penyakit yang disebabkan oleh merokok. Sembilan puluh persen dari kanker paru-paru disebabkan oleh merokok. Jika kita merokok lima batang sehari, kami adalah enam kali lebih mungkin untuk meninggal akibat kanker paru-paru daripada non perokok. Jika kita merokok dua puluh batang sehari, risikonya lebih besar sembilan belas. Sembilan puluh lima persen orang yang menderita bronkitis adalah orang-orang yang
merokok. Perokok kali dua setengah lebih mungkin meninggal akibat penyakit jantung daripada non perokok. Selain itu, anak-anak perokok lebih mungkin untuk mengembangkan bronkitis dan pneumonia. Dalam satu jam di kamar berasap, non perokok bernapas sebanyak zat penyebab kanker seolah-olah ia telah merokok lima belas rokok. Merokok benar-benar baik bagi perusahaan tembakau karena mereka menghasilkan uang banyak dari kebiasaan merokok. Merokok namun tidak baik untuk setiap tubuh lain. Catatan tentang struktur generik contoh ini analitis eksposisi Seperti kita tahu bahwa baik analitis eksposisi dan menegur eksposisi diklasifikasikan sebagai esai argumentatif. Kedua argumen hadir untuk mendukung negara tesis dalam orientasi. Tesis ini menempatkan posisi penulis pada esai. Dari struktur generik, apa yang membuat berbeda besar adalah bahwa eksposisi analitis berakhir dengan ayat untuk memperkuat tesis sementara menegur membuat rekomendasi untuk pembaca. Tesis: Ini pra-paragraf konklusif menyatakan titik penulis pandang tentang topik yang dibahas. Writer memiliki menunjukkan dirinya dalam posisi yang jelas dari topik yang dibahas. Ayat 1 adalah tesis dari teks ini eksposisi analitis. Ini menyatakan fakta dampak yang sangat fatal dari kebiasaan merokok. Jelas penulis ingin mengatakan bahwa merokok bukanlah kebiasaan yang baik. Argumen: Mempresentasikan argumen dalam teks eksposisi analitis adalah sama pentingnya dengan memberikan alur konflik dalam teks naratif . Rangkaian argumen akan memperkuat tesis dinyatakan sebelumnya. Dalam contoh teks eksposisi analitis, ayat 2 dan 3 adalah argumen detail disajikan dalam fakta pelaporan untuk mendukung bahwa merokok tidak baik bahkan untuk perokok sendiri. Selain itu, orang yang tidak merokok tapi mereka berada di daerah berasap memiliki efek buruk juga dari kebiasaan merokok. Pengulangan: Ini paragraf akhir sebenarnya adalah ulangan tesis. Ini adalah sesuatu seperti konklusif paragraf dari argumen sebelumnya. Paragraf terakhir dari contoh ini analitis eksposisi poin lagi bahwa merokok tidak baik bagi perokok dan orang-orang di sekitar perokok. Namun merokok sangat baik untuk Perusahaan Rokok

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.

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 (Islam), nationality and state.

The Power of Music in our life Do you agree that music is important in our life? Yes I do, music has certain role completing our day to day activities. Here are some reasons why music is heard everywhere andanywhere. Music is a way to express feelings. When we fall in love, the kind of music we’d listen to would be all about love. When we’re sad, we would go for music that is melancholic in nature and immerse ourselves in the sadness. When we’re happy, we’d choose songs with happy tunes too.
Song can help to memorize the last experiences. A favorite song is a powerful documentary. People with Alzheimer which are impaired the brain would remember details about songs they were familiar with. For example, an elderly woman who couldn’t even remember her husband’s name wouldremember the details of her favorite song; when it was played, how it made her feel and things about the song that made it especially memorable for her. Further, music can unite people for a cause and changes the world. A song with good lyric and striking deep chord can stimulate the universal feeling of all people. We can s ee it in the case of the famous and legendary Michael Jacson's Heal the World. It can arouse humanism of a lot people in this world.So what would the world be like without music? It would be lonely.

Fast Food Fast food nowadays is considered a normal eating venture. People are not just eating out on special occasions or weekends anymore. It means that all the time they mostly eat f ast foods. However is fast food good for health? Fast food has its popularity in the 1940’s. Within a few years, fast-food operations popped up everywhere. With the compelling rise in fast-food restaurants since the 1940’s, oddly it started the rise in obesity and cancer during that same time period. Fast food is highly processed with a wide array of additives. To ensure fast food’s low cost, the fast food products are made with highly-processed ingredients to give it shelf-life, to hold consistency, and to enhance flavor. Fast food is altered from its original healthy form. It is not the calories in fast food which damage health and waistline. It is the chemical additives such as aspartame and MSG (monosodium glutamate). Studies show that the chemical additives lead to weight and disease issues. So, there is absolutely nothing nutritional about fast food. Fast food simply feeds hunger and craving.

countries have their own languages as a mother language but also use English mostly in daily comunication. Besides usage in daily interaction, English is also used as a key to open doors leading to scientific and technical knowledge. No wonder we find manual guides andinstructions of many devices written in English. Even if we have a pack of instant noodle, we will see the cooking instruction also written in English. This transfer of science and technic will include many countries in economic, social and politics developement. Finaly, the most easily seen in the importance of learning English is that most top requirement in filling job opportunities is the ability using English; active or passive.

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 ofdiseases 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 developbronchitis 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.
Opportunity in the Global Financial Crisis US. financial crisis and its contagion to Europe and the rest of the world could also create new opportunity for Indonesia in term of foreign direc investment and the development of basic infrastructure. As the US. financial crisis has now spread to Europe, the oil-rich countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Arab Emirate which have accumulated hundreds of billion of Dollars in their foreign reserve, are now reviewing their holding or investmentvehicle. They are looking for more diversified investmentoutside the US and Europe. Because of unfavorable political developments in Thailand and Malaysia over the past few months, Indonesia which has largely Muslim population could become one of these oil-rich countries' favorite place for foreign direct investment. That wil be true if the conditions, legal and market infrastructure are conducive for Islamic financial instruments. The government had improved the legal framework with the recent actment of laws on sharia banking
and bonds.
The
long
term
nature
of
Islamic bonds could
make
them
the
most
suitable investment instrument for Indonesia, as these bondsgrant an investor a share in an asset along with the cash flows and risks commensurate with such ownership. The financial crisis that has gripped the globe and weakening economic growth in the rest of the world will serve to the government to accelerate the investment reform measures in order to grab the hidden opportunity in the global crisis.

The Advantages of Gold Coin Investment Gold has become a precious metal to mankind since it was the dawn of civilization. The nature of gold is soft and malleable which people can make and easily change to any forms, even it is done just by a simple technology. The beautiful golden and shiny color does not easily fade out. The form of gold can be as jewelry, bar, or coin. Now days gold coin, such as gold IRA , becomes an advantageous investment. Gold is safe and profitable for investment. In uncertain situations, many people are turning to gold because gold has a more stable value and regarded as currency without limitation assets. It is secure and can be cashed out at any time we need. The Gold values tend to be stable; take a look an IRA gold discussion. It is zero inflation effect. It is very rare that the gold prices fell. Even every year, the gold price tends to increase. Investments in the form of coins, it is famous as gold coin, is more profitable if it is compared with the investment gold in the form of jewelry. Gold Coin, for example gold
401k which some people call 401k gold, is very good when used as an alternative investment, whether it is for the medium-terminvestment and long-term investment. Besides that gold coins need less cost in production and manufacturing sot it is more lucrative than investing gold in the form of jewelry. Moreover, some people do not just think gold as an investment, but also as collections. Because the character is a collection so the uniqueness and rareness are the point. There might be coins that cost up to more than a million because of the history variables, ownership, and perhaps an important event when the coin is launched. From the reason above, if we decide to make an investment, it could be useful to consider investing gold coin or think aboutgold IRA transfer. It is really recommended.

Controlling Children Using Computer Computer and internet are useful as well as powerful. Information about health and safe usage of computer and Internet, especially for children, should be owned by each family. Computer connected to internet is powerful way to socialize with others. It can be good but also bad effect. Recently we hear a lot of children get the advantage of social networking sites but we often see the news about the disadvantage of it for children. Healthy and safety of computer and Internet usage should continue to be campaigned. The role of parent in assisting and directing children in using computer is very necessary. Installation of software monitor such as key logger which has function to watch and note all activities relating to keyboard usage is helpful but not enough to protect children from potential harms. Children tend to hide what they have done in front of the computer to their parent. They see that all of they have done are their privacy and no one may know. We can not prevent children from using computer because it is multifunctional. However, many parents worry about what their kids do in front of the computer; whether they are doing homework or even just playing games. Or spending all time to surf internet which is the materials do not fit with his age. There is a tendency, especially teenagers, want to become acquainted with many strangers outside. The lack parental supervision of children's activities is likely to pose a potential danger to them. So parental monitor against the use of computers needs to be done from time to time.
Why is It Important to Choose the Accredited School? Most of teenagers need to go to school and there are a lot ofschools over there. Nowadays, schools grow to offer plenty of choice; private and state ones. However it is a hard choice since there are many factors which need to be considered before making the selection. Some will be influenced by friends; because some friend got to certain school than we go to there too. Some prefer to choose certain school because ofthe closer distance. In fact, the primary decisive matter for selecting school is whether the school has been accredited or not. Why is important to choose an accredited school? Well, accredited schools have an edge over the unaccreditedschools. This label of Accredited School has an impact inemployment opportunities. As result, if there are two or morestudents with similar qualifications, the student who comes from the accredited school will have an edge over the other candidate. Student from an accredited school has more open door than student with an accredited one. Many students select certain school depending more on short term factors like friend influence and short distance from home. It is not bad since commuting actually needs much
cost. Choosing school which is closer to home will save time, energy and money. However if that school is not accredited, the time and money spent along studying seems to be waste in the long term because it could become a limiting factor in gaining future opportunities. Accredited school is not the only factor which will drive student’s success. Personality and characterization are very important too. However a student with good personality who comes from an accredited school is better than the others.
