Why are Diazinon and Dursband should be Banned

Diazinon and dursban are chemicals used on lawns, gardens, agricultural crops and livestock as an insecticide or nematocide (for worms). They are banned for several good reasons.

 Firstly, they cause nausea, dizziness, burning sensations, headaches, blurred visions, stomach and muscle cramps, twitching, diarrhea, aching joints, disorientation and an inability to concentrate.

Secondly, these chemicals cause human and animal birth defects in many areas of the human body including the brain, nervous system, teeth, eyes, ears, nipples and genitals. They can also cause profound growth and mental retardation when pregnant mothers are exposed. This may affect on lower birth weights of infants if mothers are exposed before and during pregnancy, and this is associated with lower IQs.

Finally, residues, of course, are on some foods--up to 14 days on lettuce, for example--and the chemical also seeps into the nearby water.

Therefore, the government must be urged to keep the safety factor of pesticides paramount in their thinking. Children are so much more sensitive than adults to the toxic effects of chemicals.

The Importance of Hand Washing in Covid-19 Outbreak

Respiratory viruses such as COVID-19, spread when mucus or droplets containing the virus enter the body through the nose, mouth, or eyes. One of the cheapest, easiest, and most important ways to prevent the spread of the virus is to wash your hands often with soap and water. Then why is washing hand is important in the COVID-19 outbreak? Is it really work?

First, objects in public places may have viruses on them. Our hands touch many objects in public and there may be viruses on them. The contaminated hand then touches our eyes, nose, and mouth. We can become sick when the virus infected our body.

Second, we also interact with many people. There is a chance they can carry the virus in their hands when shaking hands or interacting with us. Even though we do not touch contaminated objects, we touch that person's hand.

Accordingly, washing hands is important because we can be contaminated at any time by viruses. Washing hands with soap will be cheaper and easier to do than using hand sanitizer. It is clear that washing hands keep the health of ourselves and the people we love around us, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wearing Mask Is Important

The Covid-19 infection rate in Indonesia keeps increasing, but there are a lot of people that seem to be unconcerned about the government’s advice to wear masks outside the house. Here are some reasons why wearing a mask is important.

Firstly, the virus attacks the respiratory system. That’s why we need to cover our nose and mouth by using masks so that we are safe from potential be exposure risk from an infected person whether they have symptoms or not.

Secondly, masks help cover our sneezes and coughs. That way, we don’t only protect ourselves but also we take responsibilities of other people’s health and safety.

Wearing masks fulfill our responsibilities to ourselves and others so that bad things won’t happen to all of us. That’s why wearing a mask is important.

Everybody should change their way of life to reduce global warming. There are several things that can do. One of them is by buying and consuming fresh local groceries as much as possible. It of course includes local vegetables, fruits, bread, etc.

Local groceries don’t need much transportation to get it into the market. It of course means, the amount of carbon dioxide produced is less than the groceries from another region. Therefore, by buying local groceries we are helping reduce the amount of carbon dioxide produced.

Consuming fresh groceries instead of frozen ones are healthier for us. Furthermore, fresh food or groceries means no requirements for it to be freeze up. It means that no electricity is needed and saving energy means reducing carbon dioxide and money.

In Australia there are three levels of governments, the federal government, state governments and local governments. All of these levels of government are necessary. This is so for number of reasons.

A career is an individual’s journey through learning, work, and other aspects of life. There are a number of ways to define a career and the term is used in a variety of ways. Everybody who has a career exactly wants to advance their career.

 If you want to advance your career, you will have to make some careful decisions about which jobs you take. Consider a job offered for the value it has to your career. It may mean sacrifices at first.

You may have to move to a different region or country to get a job that is right for you. You may have to work late hours, at least temporarily. You might even have to take a lower salary for a job that offers you the experience that you need. But you should never accept a job if it is not related to your career goals.

Vegetarians

There are many reasons why people become vegetarians, including personal health, the environment, and the economy.

A vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat, poultry, and fish. Vegetarians mostly eat fruit, vegetables, legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts. Vegetarians also consume eggs and dairy products, but they avoid meat products, such as beef, chicken stocks, and gelatin.

According to research, vegetarians have a lower risk of heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. This may happen due to a healthy vegetarian diet, which has low fat but high fiber.

At the same time, a vegetarian diet can be simple and easy to prepare. Therefore, a vegetarian diet must be well-planned to prevent and treat certain diseases.

The government should provide a rehabilitation Program for Drug Users

Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things they should get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide rehabilitation for them.

Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which they might accidentally step on.

If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed on them.

Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs is better than only arresting them and doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers should be imprisoned.

School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The uniform of a school may differ from others. Why should school use uniforms? Below are some reasons.

First of all, Notre Dame's Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning school uniforms. their findings using 10^th grade students showed that uniforms have no direct effect on "substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance" it also claimed a negative effect on students achievement for those students considered 'pro school'.

Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to a particular community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards, which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are being reopened with a fresh start after being classified as failing.

Finally, uniform acts a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of the school and of each other. In institution without uniform students are often competitive and worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should wear. Considering the findings, schools should implement the uniform as their identity.
