Who to Blame for Student Brawls

Sadly, cases of students getting involved in brawls have been reported nationwide and recently reports of these brawls have increased in number, causing even more casualties. News about a student in Jakarta who died and two others who were injured in a clash between two neighboring high school is not something new. This is just one example of what has been happening to teens all over Indonesia and how violent these brawls have become. Whose fault is this?.

It is the parents' role to teach students morals and norms, while the school directs them to the acceptable norms and behaviors, besides educating them both socially and academically.Parents need to remind students that every action comes with its consequences, either good or bad.There is an argument that students cannot differentiate right or wrong without parents' and school's assistance.

Moreover, the society also has a strong influence on students.Their circle of friends highly influences them.If they belong to a violent circle, they will grow up into violent people.Peer pressure often forces these students into brawls.

In conclusion, adults should set a good example and make sure that students are on the right track.This will not only save them from themselves, but will also result in a brighter tomorrow.

Read the following text to answer questions number 6 to 10

Should Americans be forced to Public Transportation?

First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it asking if every American should do so. It is asking weather some Americans should have to take public transit some of the time, and I would say yes.

Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isn’t room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to take public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people so even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that don’t need to built.

There are a lot of people that can take with transit little inconvenience but simply don’t because they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy transit passes as part of their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. QA number of universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition feeds, forcing their students to take the bus. When given the change the majority of those students have voted to keep these programs.

A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be community car to several apartment tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.

So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.

What does writer suggest?

• American should learn to use public transportation

• American should give up their car

• American should be forced to use public transportation

• The government should limit the number cars
