DISCUSSION TEXT

Sutiyoso will pick up an Asian Air Quality Management Award Friday at an international conference in Jokyakarta, but some people have questioned whether he really deserved the honor. The critics say Sutiyoso has done little to reduce air pollution in the capital.

I think Sutiyoso deserved the award. Althought we haven’t seen solid air quality management, he has restored the National Monument ( Monas ) park to a green cool area where families can jog or have a picnic.

He also initiated the bus way project, which I believed is a good step toward reducing air pollution in Jakarta.

However, the government has to take further action, such as limiting the number of motorcycles in Jakarta. All of motorcycles on the roads contribute t air pollution in the city.

On the other hand, some people can’t understand how Sutiyoso can win this award because they haven’t seen any improvement in Jakarta’s air management.

Jakarta is becoming more polluted as the authorities cut down moreand more trees for transportation project, and they don’t bother to plant new trees to replace the old ones, let alone develop new green areas.

The authorities should build more parks in the city to make Jakarta greener now, but the fences prevent people from getting in. In countries like Singapore and Australia, public parks are pleasant places to hang out.

Multi Level Company (MLM), which has been mushrooming in our country, still becomes debates among those who agree with the system and those who disagree. Here are some of the arguments.

On the other hand, there are people who believe that the strategy can improve their income and way of life. By selling products, an MLMer will get an active income that is 20% - 30% profit of the price of the products.

If someone,let’s say Mr.Arnold can prosper people by becoming his/her downline, but he will receive a percentage from the goods the downlie buys. If the downline can also expand the network, Mr.Arnold will also get percentages.

Being an MLMer, one can develop one’s personality and encourage oneself to work harder. Since people are offer financial freedom by MLM, they will try to avoid inconvidence and shyness in promoting their products. MLM companies also conduct seminars and meetings to encourage people to work harder.

On the other hand, there are many MLMers fail to encourage people either to become members or buy their products. This is because MLM is neither advertised nor sold their products in general markets. Therefore, MLMers should spend more time in persuading people to consider the quality of their products. This really needs much spirit and not many people have this.

There are also people who do not agree that the company can improve people’s income. They say they see a cheesy, obvious, and blatant appeal to greed and materialism.

The few anti membership arguments do not discourage people to become an MLM. It depends on how people control and motivate themselves. Moreover, the marketing strategy has been legalized by government and has been the most expensive profession ever known.
