Example
corruption
Thesis
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.
Fuel Price
Must Be Dropped
Thesis :
Government should cancel the rise of fuel price done in beginning of October
2005. Most of Indonesian people badly beg it for some basic reasons.
Argument
1:
First, for Industry. The rise of fuel price will increase their production cost
because they must pay more for fuel and electricity used in the process of
production. Consequently, it will rise the selling price for the product. If
the product price is increased, it will be hard for the product to compete with
the goods from other countries. The export will decrease rapidly and government
will lose the income from exporting goods.
Argument 2
:
Second, for workers. The rise of fuel price will force the company where they
work to limit the budget to low the number of workers. It means hundreds even
thousands of workers will lose their jobs. The jobless people will increase
instability of nations because they will do whatever they can do to get some
money, even by doing crime. What a dreadful nightmare!
Argument
3:
Thirdly, for ordinary people. They must manage their finance to survive because
the rise of fuel price will increase the price of their basic need's price.
They have to find alternative ways to survive, reducing the meals,
postponing the buying of unnecessary things or event for the from school. This
is the worst.
Recommendation
:
Based on the facts above, considering the negative impact of the rise of fuel
price above, government must cancel the rise and try to find other ways to cover
the lack of the national budget by not cutting the subsidy of fuel.
