We Need Action, Please

Do you these days hotter than several years ago? Do you feel that the weather changes sometimes changes suddenly and does not same as it is used to be in its season? If you feel it, so it means that you have to do something for our environment now. If do not feel it, then you have to put more attention to our environment, and realize that the condition is very urgent. Our environment needs our contribution now.


Basically, the things in rhetorical questions above are the effects of the global warming, environmental problem which the whole world face nowadays. Referring to the article, global warming can cause the ice in North and South Pole melts and causes increasing of sea level. Global warming also can affect the life cycle of every creature in this earth. As a result of global warming, this earth can be very horrible. Our young generation maybe will not ever know some extinct animals that ever last in this world and finally die because of this environmental problem.


In the article that I refer to, it is stated there that scientist has estimate that people all over the world need to change their habit that can cause global warming and start to safe the earth from that horrible threat. The scientist states that we only have thirteen years more to safe our earth, or something horrible that we do not want to see and affect our young generation will happen.


Through this environmental problem I think we as one of the creatures that use the earth to life have to change our bad habit that can damage our mother nature and start now to safe our environmental. What we have to do is not too difficult. We have to start helping our mother nature from ourselves. From now, we have to start to use the electrical energy wisely; try to not always use private cars to go; and also do any activities which can help our mother nature from the global warning.


Do not ever think that thirteen years is still a long period of time to go. Later when the time comes, it is very useless if we regret. The time can not be round back anymore. We will not able to do anything if the time comes. The damaged earth can not be healed anymore and we will be very near to the end of the world.


Thus, global warming is a problem that has to be highlighted in our activities from now. We must do some action to safe our environment. We have to remember that this is our only chance to safe the earth and every creature inside. Regretting later is useless. Later when the time comes, there will not any second chance. Therefore, the message from me: we must to safe the earth now.

Freedom Also Has Limits

Is freedom good? Many people will say yes. Since few decades ago, or maybe some centuries ago, people always find and demand the thing that called freedom. They argued that the freedom is one of the basic human rights that have to be fulfilled whatever the condition is. However, I do not think so. Nowadays, for example, many people tend to demand more that the freedom that they get, even they misuse the freedom that has been given to them. Furthermore, they do not want to be responsible of what they have done.

I think it is still fresh in our mind when we heard the sad news about Virginia Technology University Massacre. Because of he feel being bullied by his friends, a South Korean guy entered one of the university blocks, locked its doors, entered the classrooms, and shoot all the people in that block with guns that he bought few days before. His stupid act caused 32 people died. Most of the people who died are teenagers that still have long life to go and also bright future in front of them.

This example shows us how horrible the effects of freedom to own weapon. This article, which I refer to, explains that the government of Virginia State wanted to make gun control law. But why only know? Why only after the massacre happened? Why the government only starts to step forward after 32 people died.
I think people can not get all the freedom they want. There are some freedoms that are dangerous if they are still allowed. Refer to the article, the freedom to own weapon in American is the suitable example for this argument. Personally, I think this freedom is unnecessary. Maybe people want to have weapon for the protection for themselves, but have ever the government think that the people can purposely misuse the real function of gun and use it to kill the people they do not like. If the people still want to have gun, it means that the people does not believe the police, and it is the must for the government to increase the citizen's beliefs to the police.

In conclusion, I think freedom is important, everyone have to have their own freedom, but there are several freedoms that people do not need to get for the individual and also society's safety and security.

In addition, I think we, especially the students that sometimes become naughty and like to bully our friends, can take one precious lesson from the Virginia Tech Massacre. Sometimes maybe we like to bully our friends, and we think that act is interesting and entertaining, but we have to think that maybe that person does not like it. It will be better for us to care with our friends and not bully them seriously. If one day the person come to our classes with .44 mm magnum, so it means that we do not have to regret anymore, so think about it.
