Materialistic In The Author Points

      They say that money makes the world go round. Money is everything in this fast paced world.We have to pay for everything,even using toilet. The side effect however is that people are becoming more materialistic; more concerned with making money and what money can buy. But how much money is enough? Is it ever enough? To some, it will never be enough. In my opinion, I truly believe that this statement is true and that people are becoming more materialistic in nature. In this essay, we will talk about how money can steal human nature a bit by a bit.How money can changed us in every aspects of life.

       Each person is affected by materialism to some extent in this day and age because hedonism is becoming an uprising trend.The people of today has been programmed to make a lot of money to wreak their desires to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle today. For example, people spend their hard earned money on material objects like genuine LV and Coach handbags, expensive gadgets like Iphones and Tablet pcs and so on which in my opinion is a waste of money when regular goods may prove to be good enough.This happen because human have the urge to show off their belonging .Therefore, while individuals become more focussed on their pursuit of material wealth and improving their standard of living, they may forget that what matters most in life is their family.They forgot to spent quality time with their family and this can create a major family crisis.Family crisis is not what we want in present time.Family should stay together to face this harsh world.

       Beside that,materialism also can affects our spiritual and moral beliefs. This is due to the fact people who are materialistic may facing a moral decline.We may commit crime to satisfy our need.In fact, the crime rate is increasing because criminals these days have such a briliance brains to developed many ways to gain more money from society. Example that we can see is, there are a hefty sum of reports ranging from snatch thefts, burglaries, kidnapping for ransom, credit card fraud, internet banking hacking and others that are driven by materialistic criminals. Hence, when people lose sight about what's right and wrong,believe me this world would not be a happy place for our children to live

         In a nutshell, materialism is a common trends in the 21st century as more people are working hard to afford things beyond their reach.Some would find materialism is the way for our economy to boost up but some still believe that materialism some day can collapse a nation. In my opinion, I still firmly believe that materialism have both positive and negative effects to our live and our country.It is up to us whether to control our spending or not. Our government can encourage society to be less wasteful in spending by running campaigns such as ‘Consumer Awareness’ and ‘Buy Malaysian Made Products’ in order to educate our younger generation for the prosperity of our nation.

Health Is A Foundation Of Happiness

      Health is very important in our daily lives. By having a healthy body, a person can perform daily activities without hindrance. The children can go to school to gain knowledge and parents can make a living for families. For some, the importance of health was only discovered when they succumbed to disease. They are willing to spend money to buy health food,medicine or anything just to cure their health problems. Additionally, many drug and health food products exist in the market as "Mushrooms after the rain". Because of the importance of this blessing in our lives, several steps must be taken so that our health is guaranteed.

      One of the steps we need to pay attention to health care is to maintain a clean living environment. Conditions inside and outside the home should be clean of garbage and stagnant water sites. This matter will be able to eliminate the breeding ground for disease agents such as flies, rats, mosquitoes and others. We need to respond to the campaign launched by Perak Municipal Council of the Islamic City campaign "Meet Trash Must Pick" and the "Fighting Pesticide." Therefore, the waste must be burned, reclaimed or disposed of in a special place. Flower pots and drains should be checked to make sure the water is not stagnant and becoming a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Thus, vector-borne diseases like cholera, malaria, and dengue can be avoided. In fact, maintain a clean environment is a fundamental step for us all to achieve optimum health.

      In addition, health check-up is very important thing to do to ensure our health is in good condition. According to medical recommendations, a person has to do a health check at least twice a year or six months. This examination includes blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and others. The purpose of inspection is made to ensure our health are in good condition and also be able to detect early chronic disease such as hypertension, diabetes and so forth. In short, a person's health would be in good condition if we are disciplined to undergo health examinations in hospitals regularly.

      Practicing a well  balanced diet is no less important as a step to maintain our health.Our type of nutrition s often associated with health. This is consistent with the idiom of the dietary habits of "What you are, is what you eat". Can be considered a person that eat a well balanced diet will have good health. Eating a balanced diet means eating a healthy, nutritious food your body needs one. An individual needs appropriate food based on age,and other needs. For example, a baby needs more calcium than adults who need more protein. To be clear, one should refer to the food pyramid as a guide to get balanced nutrition. As such, snacks and soft drinks should be avoided because it can harm our health. In short, the best way to achieve health is by eating a balanced diet.

      Next, our health will be more secure if we do recreational activities. Practice exercise such as swimming, jogging, riding bicycles and other sport activities are good for health. Sports Science Lecturer Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), Assoc. Zulkifli Abdul Kadir, suggest everyone to do recreational activities for 30 minutes twice a week for optimum health. These recreational activities will become more common if we do it everyday with discipline.By doing recreational activities, the muscles of the body will have more energy and vitality of the body will improve. In addition, one can breathe fresh air during exercise in playgrounds and to reduce the pressure or stress tired after a long day working .

      Healthy lifestyle is a step that is not less important for good health.Now, we were surprised with all kinds of negative way of life that has spread in our society. Among the negative lifestyle that is free and promiscuous sexual practices,prostitution activity, drug addiction, alcohol and others as well as smoking habit, which remains a part of the lifestyle of young people and teenagers in our society as if the campaign "Say No To Cigarettes" is useless. Of course, unhealthy lifestyle will invite diseases such as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS),syphilis and others. Such practices should be kept away and adopt a healthy lifestyle based on religious norms and culture.Therefore, turn to a healthy lifestyle for good health as a campaign"Healthy Lifestyle" as contemplated by the government.

      In conclusion, health care should be the agenda and priorities in our daily life. Various measures can be taken to obtain good health. Among other things, personal and environmental hygiene, take a balanced diet and doing recreational activities. We should be more aware and concerned about our health to lead a quality life. Healthy individuals will be able to contribute to the development and prosperity in line with the slogan, "Healthy People Prosper Country".

      

Social Issues

      Social problems among youth is a increasingly worrying phenomenon that we have to face in our daily basis. Social problems such as drug abuse, student misconduct, promiscuity and baby abortion are so widespreadly happen and rapidly growing.Just look at the newspaper nowadays.There are always the same story about social issues among teenager.

      There are many factors that cause social problems. One of the factor is family crisis.It cause the social control on children neglected. Parents who often argued would not be able to nurture and educating children their properly. This situation become worser when there is some parents who busy with the task at office until they ignore their responsibilities to watch over the behavior of their children.As a result, there are children who run away from home, socialize with troublesome friend, and from there all of the social problem that mention above will begin.

       Beside that, social problems are also caused by the influence of mass media. In this age of rapidly expanding technology, teenagers are exposed to negative influences through the Internet and many other channels so that their minds are easily poisoned by the negative elements of mass media. In addition, the claims of modernization has also put pressure on those who want the freedom to escape from the shackles of the family and demanded the rights of individuals causing the youth to reject the authority of parents to control their behavior.

        Social problems are also associated with deterioration of discipline in schools.Due to the school does not impose strict against students who violate discipline, then the students dared to do something that should not be done by a student, such as smoking,skipping class and fighting. This behavior will taken along by them when they leave school later. They will be more bold to do things that in will eventually contribute to the spread of social problems such as smoking, abuse drugs, sexual promiscuity,gangsterism and so forth.

       To reduce social problems, parents should educate and inculcate moral values ​​and religious teachings perfectly to their children so that their children will be a morally and honorable teenager. Parents need to understand the problems of their children and make their children as friends and not foes. Besides the family members of adult brother or sister should be helping their parents in monitoring and controlling their kids from doing an act that can contribute to social problems.

      At school, the students have their teacher to control them from social ills. Teachers need to closely engage all students and understanding their problems. Teachers should be aware and be open and try to give encouragement to their students and this will open up space for students to discuss and share the problems faced by them.In addition, school discipline must be tightened.Collaboration between teachers and the parents of the students should be improved. The school can also provide counseling to students with problems so that the student does not feel like he was being abandoned.

      In conclusion, to curb this social problem from continuing to spread, various parties involved should work together and play their respective roles. If all parties can work together as expected, there is no reason why social problems among youth can not be contained.

That's why I love my family.


         Talking about my future,now I'm a Form 6 student from SMK Kamunting. Eventhough i'm still kinda lazy to go back to high school but i have to since i got nowhere to go.My first opinion about Form 6 is ''this gonna be so lame" but i have to admit,I was wrong.The teacher treated us like a mature person.We have to do everything by ourselves.It is like in the university.We have to be independent if we want to succeed.By the way the term Form 6 is not relevant anymore,they change it to Pre U.They have uplift the standard of Form 6.This making it more interesting.


        I live in a very interesting country called Malaysia.Malaysia actually has two regions which are Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo (also known as East Malaysia) and they're separated by South China Sea.I live at Peninsular Malaysia in a very beautiful state called Perak Darul Ridzuan.The people here are multiracial.There are so many historical places in Perak.Perak is indeed a very interesting state to visit.


         In my leisure time,I love to surfing internet.My top website that I visit a lot is 9Gag.com.This website make me happy even i'm in a lowest state.Beside that,I like to play badminton.This is the reason for me getting exercise.


          My goal in life is to succeed in everything I do.However to achieve that I have to go through the bitterness of life because life isn't always sweet right, sometimes when life knock you down,you just have to get back up.There is no time for despair. I believe there are still many things I have to learn, and need to strive for having a better life in the future.
