The increasing number of foreign players is a threat to English Football
With the number of foreign players in English football clubs increasing over the years, it can be worrying for the future of English football itself. This caused by the number of foreign players in the clubs that are now overlapping the number of England born players. While foreign players can also give some positive effects in English football, their presence in English football can stifle the potentials of those local born football players thus affecting England as a national team. As the FA’s authority, Sir Trevor Booking quoted saying on BBC news (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/6975955.stm) that, “the growing number of foreign players in the Premier League is depriving domestic talent of first-team football and that is having a detrimental effect on England's chances of challenging at major tournaments.” The FA and FIFA would have to consider this issue more seriously, foreign players in English football clubs can be acceptable as long as they employ at least the same amount of local players in the squad.

The Effects of Noise Pollution
Noise pollution has harm effects on human’s health and earth.As a result of noise pollution is the reduction of usable habitat, which led to extincion of endangered species. Due to noise pollution, it killed certain species of beached whales. Furthermore, as a matter of fact, noise pollution causes annoyance and aggression,hypertension,high stress levels,tinnitus, and sleep disturbances on people. A study in 2005 by Spanish researchers found that in urban areas households are willing to pay approximately four Euros per decibel per year for noise reduction. Another consequences of high noise level pollution are an increase in blood pressure, creates coronary artery disease, and even hearing loss. For example,Maaban tribesmen, who were insignificantly exposed to transportation or industrial noise, to a typical U.S. population showed that chronic exposure to moderately high levels of environmental noise contributes to hearing loss (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_pollution#Human_health_effects). The evidences above suggest that noise pollution has become dangerous problem both for earth’s environment and humans.

As the most powerful 'First World Nation', the united states is one of the example how the increasing oil price can affect one of its most important industry : The automotive industry.
The US car manufacturer is well-known for its least-efficient-fuel-car on the planet. While its competitors, the european and japan-based auto manufacturer, have made their efficient-fuel-car for years. So, while the oil prices are getting higher than ever, the market consider to buy the more efficient car. It means they are buying the european and japanese car. As the Detroit' car-based manufacturer losing their market share, then they are become more realistic. They have to stick with the business.

While some things never change, the US car manufacturer have to change their perspectives on developing their products to compete in this new trend.

Public transportations fare rise high in Lebaran period. There are many reasons for this occurrence. First, the increasing number of public transportations users when Lebaran occurs. Public transportations become favorite choices for “mudik”, because of this high demand, public transportations providers react by increasing the transportations fare to achieve more profit for the company. Second, most people still paying more for “mudik” and meeting their families at hometown even the fare is higher than usual. This reason makes public transportations providers have no more doubt to increase their services fare in Lebaran period. Finally, the raise in public transportations fare are also affected by the numbers of ticket scalpers which increase the fare higher than the normal fare. These ticket scalpers usually buy the ticket before it runs out then sell it to people in higher price because no more tickets available. After all, the fare rise is definitely undeniable and we can`t do anything about it.
Smoking Can Make You Impotent
Smokers have greater possibilities to develop impotence than non-smokers. This is caused by atherosclerosis that reduces blood supply to the penis. Even without atherosclerosis, smoking can lead your blood vessels to constrict temporarily, which also reduces blood flow to penis. A source from "http://www.moh.govt.nz/moh.nsf/indexmh/tobacco-warnings-factsheets-impotent" states that an international study, which grouped impotent smokers according to how many cigarettes they smoked each day, found:
* heavy smokers (40+ cigarettes/day) had the "softest" night-time erections;
* smoking was related to an abnormal decline of blood pressure in the penis.
However, it is still possible to recover your ability to grow up your penis. You just need to stop smoking as soon as possible. In short, it will be very good for your health if you never ever try to smoke even though you become an adult.

Explosion of nuclear power plant can result a fatal impact on the environment.
Explosion of nuclear power plant can result a fatal impact on the environment. The ecosystem will be destroyed; the air will contaminate everyone who breathes it. The land will not be able to contain population because many radioactive places. We can see from an explosion near Pripyat that called the Chernobyl disaster, results from the explosion in Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_accident). This explosion contaminate Chernobyl, and other large areas in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia; resulting evacuation and resettlement of over 336000 peoples. This explosion sent highly radioactive fallout four hundred times more fallout than atomic bombing in Hiroshima. Unmonitored nuclear reactor can result a very dangerous explosion. Therefore, we must prevent explosion of nuclear power plants by monitoring closely their nuclear reactor.

Sleep
If you think sleep is just resting your body, you’re definitely wrong. There are a few numbers of the function of sleep. Researchers have shown that sleep is really affect your health. I will explain two kind of things how sleep affects our health. First of all, sleep affect our body ability to heal wounds. A study conducted by Gumustekin et al shows that sleep deprivation hindering the healing of burns on rats.
Sleep deprivation also affects immune system. If you have enough sleep everyday, which means around 7-8 hours a day for adult, you will be less risky to get sick. The next one is hairloss. Even a lot of study shows that hairloss is happened because of genetics and smoking habit, there is evidence shows that lack of sleep cause hairloss. When you sleep, the oxygen that run in your blood is stable. But as we stay awake too long, then it will suck more air for us to breath. When it happen, then the blood circulation is not running well, especially the head’s blood circulation. Then it will affect the growth of the hair.
In brief, sleep is not just resting your body but it is an important phase for your health.

COMIC
Children are familiar with comic. They often read comic during their leisure time to refresh their mind after study. They often think that comic can bring fun, laugh, and happiness to their life. But parents have to accompany them when they are choosing comic to buy because some comics are not suitable for young ages. Some comics sometimes show some adults or violence contents. This is a serious matter that underage children can be affected by these unsuitable readings that later can affect their behaviour. For example : they can shout to their parent “shut your mouth” because they often read it on the comic, or maybe they will fight with their friend because they are influenced by what they have seen in the comic . Thus, to some extent, reading comic could be a relaxing activity to release stress, but somehow we have to be careful about its content.

Mobile Messenger
Today the use of mobile messenger on mobile phones is becoming more popular because it is more economical than the SMS. The average SMS rates in Indonesia is approximately Rp. 100,00/SMS, this is very expensive compared to GPRS rates for all operators in Indonesia according to (http://www.teknolagi.com/2008/08/01/perbandingan-tarif-gprs-ritel/). With a thousand rupiah we can send more information compared to SMS. The biggest downside in using mobile messenger is lesser battery life because activating GPRS or 3G consumes a lot of electricity. The bottom line is although it is more energy consuming, the use of mobile messenger is more effective and cheaper.

The Disadvantages of Using Internet for Students
Nowadays, the internet has become a first priority in a human,s life.Furthermore, in the last few years , internet has undergone great significant development.The internet has provided us with many advantages but on the other hand , it has also created some problems and disadvantages as well especially for students.According to http://www.bookrags.com/essay-2006/4/25/14412/6440, internet is a system of connected computers that allows computer users around the world to exchange information.
Many high school students use the internet to provide them with the information they need to do their homework.It is actually not good because by using internet frequently , students will gradually start to lose their ability to think critically and become too much dependable to the internet.As we know,not all the information that we get from the internet are true.Some of the information might be wrong so students should think critically and make their own perception rather than copying all the information from the internet.In addition,students should put a lot of effort in doing their homework by themselves so that they could improve their critical thinking which is a very important thing at the university level.
In conclusion , the internet doesn't always give students advantages but also disadvantages as well.Therefore,everybody should consider this matter.It all depends on the students itself to think cleverly if they want to use the internet services.It is expected that in the future all students would use internet services with more efficiently.

An alcoholic beverage is a drink containing ethanol, commonly known as alcohol, although in chemistry the definition of alcohol includes many other compounds. Alcoholic beverages are divided into three general classes: beers, wines, and spirits.
Ethanol is a psychoactive drug that has a depressant effect. Most countries restrict and regulate its sale and consumption; for example, they place legal drinking-age restrictions upon the sale of alcoholic drinks to young people. The manufacture and consumption of alcohol occurs in most cultures and societies of the world, from hunter-gatherer peoples to nation-states. The drinking of alcoholic beverages is very often an important part of social events in such societies, and it can be an important aspect of a community’s culture.
Ethanol is only slightly toxic compared to other alcohols, but has significant psychoactive effects. A significant blood alcohol content may be considered legal drunkenness as it reduces attention and slows reaction speed. Alcoholic beverages can be addictive and the state of addiction to ethanol is known as alcoholism

Scuba Diving Can Increase Awareness on Ocean Conservation
By being a Scuba Diver, you have the privilege to explore the 70 percent of the natural world that is water. That can be the vast oceans, rivers, lakes, creeks. Therefore by being a diver you have automatically become the underwater world’s ambassador, because when you dive you see what is going on in our oceans and inevitably see the changes that are happening in oceans across the globe. There are many factors which affects the changing of our ocean, of the coral reefs more specifically. There’s global warming- that causes coral bleaching, overfishing, destructive fishing practices, pollution, discarded fish nets, coastal developments. Many people aren’t aware of this because they can not see what happens or the changes underwater, but scuba divers can.
An example of how scuba divers can have a great influence in ocean conservation can be noted in today’s many popular dive spots one of which is Raja Ampat, its waters are home to a staggering variety of marine life and has considerably the richest marine diversity in the world. One of Raja Ampat's websites (http://www.rajaampat.org/) shows a survey conducted by The Nature Conservancy has confirmed that Raja Ampat has got 537 corals species –which is 75 percent of all the corals known- and 1,074 fish species. A few years ago the fish and coral reefs in this area were overexploited by either overfishing by fishnets, or using explosions on the coral reefs. But as Raja Ampat grows more and more popular among scuba divers around the world as one of- if not, the best dive spots in the world, the awareness for conservation has also been increasing rapidly. This shows how scuba diving can raise awareness for Ocean Conservation. As what Baba Dioum, a well known Senegalese conservationist said, “In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.”

A few years ago the fish and coral reefs in this area were overexploited by either overfishing by fishnets, or using explosions on the coral reefs. But as Raja Ampat grows more and more popular among scuba divers around the world as one of- if not, the best dive spots in the world, the awareness for conservation has also been increasing rapidly. This shows how scuba diving can raise awareness for Ocean Conservation. As what Baba Dioum, a well known Senegalese conservationist said, “In the end, we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.”

Exercising
Although some people think exercising not necessary to do, in fact, exercising has positive benefits for human’s health. For example, research study in USA showed that taking brisk walk in 30 minutes can help build strong muscles , joints, and bones. Moreover two hours a week of moderate exercise like cycling, playing tennis, or running may reduce the risk of getting cancer and diabetes by 60 percent. Not only exercising revive our body in a fit condition, but also it causes the body to release endorphins which are chemicals that created happy and peaceful feeling on us. In addition, people who exercising routinely have a good self esteem. According to Peter Kokkinos, director of the exercise testing and research lab in the cardiology department of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Washington, D.C “As you increase your ability to exercise-increase your fitness-you are decreasing in a step-wise fashion the risk of death”( http://health.msn.com/fitness/mens-fitness/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100188759). The evidences above suggest that exercising give tremendous effects both for our physical and mental too.

The effect of part-time job for student at school
Student should not work while they are going to school. They should concentrate on their school rather than working on a part-time job. There are several reasons for this; Academic Studies and Social. First of all are academic studies that student would be tired from working and they won’t have time to study for their exams, the effect that they will fail exams and could stay a year. Another factor is that student won’t have time to socialize with their friend at school. The effect that they won’t have any friends, it would be hard to find a friends at a part-time job.

Violence in Movie is not for children. Agree or Disagree?
Nowadays, so many genres of movies that we can watch. Sometimes we sentimentalize because of the movie, whether it is a violence scene. But, how if the children watch a violence in movies? Violence in the movies should have strict regulation because it has negative effects on the behavior of children. I absolutely agree that the violence in movies is not for children. I have three reasons to strongly support my opinion.
First, Children do not know how to differentiate the reality and movie. Children learn from what they see, even if it's on the big screen. Also if children following what they have seen, children won’t understand what the children do is endanger people. For example, If children watch Power Rangers, they may choose one of his favorite hero and the children will do what their hero did in the movie, children do not care whether it is dangerous or not.
Second, children will be trauma if they watch violence in movie too much. Children do not know that the violence in the movies is fake, such as fight, war, assassination, etc. Then, if the children is shocked with what they have watched in movie, they will be feel scared to imagine that the same case will happening in his real life. If that happening, it will disrupt the children growth.
The last reason, the violence movies will change the children social life. In some cases, children who watch violence movies will change they social life whether automatically or manually. For example, children will be more keep silent and keep far from the crowded. Then in the other case, children will be very hyper active or become a very dangerous in the future.
So, children shouldn’t watch the movie that containing a violence. Not only the children’s life will disturbed but also the children’s social life. Therefore, keep your children from the violence movie and explain the children about what the children have seen. Children future is in your hand.

People are Lazier to Read a Book
Nowadays, the use of internet technology has make human lazier to read a book. Most of us like and tend to search information via internet better than reading book page by page. There are many factors those make human lazier to read book such as:
The size of a book which is not compatible to bring
Only the visual aspect is involved
Book is easily damaged
Putu Laxman Sanjaya Pendit, Ph.D, researcher in the information & library of University of Indonesia said that now, in our time, students are more likely to brows and search information through the net, because in internet, there are some variations of learning, although in the reality there are almost the same either if we learn from a book or from internet. (http://www.stikom.edu/v8/main.php?act=gen&goto=internal&id=531). As a result, we can see that in the statistic, the number of internet user in the world, especially in Asia is increasing 240.7% from 2000 to 2007.(http://www.pengadilan.net/content/view/23/26/). So, from the sentences above, I conclude that from now on, we, human prefer browsing and surfing through the internet to read a book for searching information.

Playing Games
Today, many people play games to relieve their stresses, find new friends, improve their imaginations, having fun, etc. There are some parties who don’t agree with the statement above. They only think that playing games can give you bad grades/ marks at school, bad social life, bad health, etc. However, this is not true. Douglas Gentile, an assistant professor of psychology and one of the country's top researchers on the effects of media on children said that video games together with his father who is a leading researcher on effective teaching and a distinguished teaching professor emeritus of educational psychology at the University of Buffalo, State University of New York said that playing violent video games (the worst type of video game) teaches aggression and motivate gamers to master skills that are required to solve difficult problems and cope with the developing environment. East California University states that playing casual games is a good way to relieve stresses and tensions. A source from http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/bb/neuro/neuro02/web3/mschlimme.html states that playing video games can make a person become more aggressive but not always in violent matters. He/she can become more involved in the social world and engage communications with other people. The source also states that playing video games can motivate a person to solve a complex problem by improving his/her imagination. Playing games is not always negative; many people have started to realize the benefit of playing games.
Electronic Sport Competitions
Electronic sport competitions are becoming more anticipated in the world. Electronic sport competitions become more anticipated because of the increasingly developed gaming, professional contracts, bigger price money, and more competition in the online cyber game world. Statistics have shown that number of player vastly increase between a year in an electronic sport competition, World Cyber Games (WCG). Source from (http://www.rediff.com/search/2003/sep/11wcg.htm) tells us that WCG competition in India is increasing rapidly between a years, from 7000 participants 1 year before the competition to 30000 participants competing for $350,000. Electronic sport competitions will likely have more impact on the cyber world in the future.
