Free Socialism in Indonesia
Everyone has to socialize because everyone need friends. They can not live by themselves without help from other people. Nowadays, relationship among kids and teenagers in Indonesia is worse than before. Some parents are afraid when their kids and teens are playing out. They are worried that if their children lead their life on the wrong path, such as doing free sex, drugs abuse and crime traits. Crime traits happen everywhere without humaneness. In some countries in the world like America, free sex and drugs abuse are not something surprising, but not in Indonesia. Kids and teens are easily to trapped in the wrong way. Looking for self identify, and wanting to have a free life are some of the reasons why kids and teens prefer to have free socialism. Free socialism is not always give positive effects but also the negative effects. Although it all depends on themselves, how they position they selves to do something. However, free socialism among teenagers in Indonesia can cause free sex, drug abuse and crime traits.
Having unhealthy relationship with the opposite sex can cause free sex. It can be happened because of many reasons and factors. Firstly, they think that free sex is a way to prove their loving. They misinterpret their ideas. They might be afraid that their boyfriends or girlfriends are unfaithful so they prove their love by hugging and kissing, in order to keep their love. They can not blame anyone if they get pregnant before marriage. Free sex can be habit forming. Secondly, they are curious to try free sex because some of their friends have done free sex. They might be curious to do that because they had heard something sounds good about free sex. Free sex can give them satisfaction temporarily. Thirdly, they can not hold back their passion because their beliefs are decreasing. Religion is important for everybody. It can be their compass, thus if someone can increase their religion, they can escape from the wrong way. Fourthly, they often change their partner after breaking up. It is a habit to find a new partner after breaking up, but the problem is they often change their partner, so it can be cause they to had sexual intercourse with many persons because it is an ordinary habit to do. It is really bad to know that free socialism in Indonesia can cause free sex. Sixty percent kids and teens in Indonesia experienced in sex with their partner before marriage.
Having many problems, despair and share with the wrong person can cause drug abuse. Sometimes problems were came unfathomed. And it can make someone down or depressed when having many problems. One problem has not solved, the other problem has came. Sometimes kids and teen try drugs to fit in with a group of friends or they might be curious or just bored. A person may use illegal drugs for many reasons. First, they usually go out from home and find something new to try, one of them is drug. Free socialism means that they had free relations with everybody without looking the negative side of that person. It can be something wrong when they talked about their problems to they friends, but they had shared with the wrong person and they will can be interest with using drugs because they friends are used to. They should share with the adult that they trust. This could be parents, other relative or school counselor. Second, some of them think that drug can made them happy. If a person is sad or upset, a drug can temporarily make the person feel better, happy and forgot about problems. But this escape lasts only until the drug wears off. Drugs do not solve problems, of course. And using drugs often causes other problems on top of the problems the person had in the first place. A person who uses drugs can become dependent on them or addicted. Third, they are interested to losing their weight or to boost their confident. They think popping a few pills will help they lose their weight, confident or stay awake. They might envious when they see the body of their friends are slim. So, they will try everything to lose their weight and to be confident. But free socialism with the bad person can fall into a trap, drug. By uses drugs, the person’s body becomes so accustomed to having this drug that he or she can not fuction well without it. Once a person is addicted, it is very hard to stop taking drugs. Stopping can cause withdrawal symptoms, such as vomiting (throwing up), sweating, and tremors (shaking). These sick feelings continue until the person's body gets adjusted to being drug free again.
Not having a lot of money can cause crime traits. Many factors that often cause traits. First, social gap among kids and teenagers. Having rich parents might be all child’s hope. But, the fact we are life in many difference. Human are created equal but everybody must to accept their fate. Many rich people around them. But some people life with their bad luck. And it can cause someone to commit a crime. Free socialism had take them to the crime if they can not control their selves. Second, their belief’s decreasing. This is a factor that can make them to commit a crime if their belief decrease. Religion is something must not forgotten. It is should be increased in order to control their selves. Third, there is an opportunity to commit crime. All can not be done by them except there is opportunity to do that. Maybe they friends have been stolen money or hand phone. And it can be they motivator to commit a crime because some of them are having not a lot of money.
They must think twice before doing something. The days can not be repeated, times can not be stop. Save the next generations especially kids and teens because they are very need more attentions from the adult to orient them in order to be a wise and good person. They are many negatives impacts because of free socialism. So, we must be careful in socialism, and we must to control and stabilize our self in order to escape from bad effects of free socialism.
mengenal ikan piranha
Ikan piranha termasul ikan air tawar yang habitat aslinya ada di sungai Amazon, Brazil. Ikan piranha ditemukan di perairan sungai dan danau di daerah yang beriklim tropis yang kebanyakan berlokasi di selatan timur negara-negara Amerika. Piranha tersebar di beberapa sungai antara lain Orinoco (Venezuela), Rio e la Plata (Argentina) dan sungai Paraguay (Paraguay).
Ikan piranha tinggal secara berkelompok di sungai dan anak sungainya dalam angka-angka yang masih tergolong kecil selama bertahun-tahun, namun kondisi perairan di negara-negara yang beriklim tropis tidak menutup kemungkinan ikan ini dapat berkembang biak denga baik.
Jika terjadi kecerobohan yang menyebabkan lepasnya ikan piranha di perairan bebas negara beriklim tropis, dapat memberikan kesempatan ikan piranha untuk berkembang biak, sehingga ditakutkan akan mengganggu ekosistem perairan air tawar dan menimbulkan keresahan penduduk akan keberadaan piranha di negara-negara beriklim tropis tersebut. Hal ini menyebabkan beberapa negara sangat ketat dalam membuat peraturan, agar piranha tidak masuk ke negaranya.
Para ahli ikan tropis tengah mencari jawaban bagaimana seekor ikan pemakan daging piranha, yang berasal dari belantara Amazon, Brazil, muncul di sungai Thames yang penuh lumpur di London, Inggris.namun diperkirakan tidak akan mampu hidup lama karena dinginnya serta derasnya air yang mengalir di sungai Thames. Begitu juga dengan ikan piranha yang pernah ditemukan di perairan sungai di Jepang, Hongkong, dan negara nontropis lainnya akan sangat sulit untuk beradaptasi atau bahkan berkembanga biak melihat konisi cuaca yang tidak sesuai.
Ciri-ciri Piranha
Piranha adalah sejenis ikan yang istimewa. Apabila dilihat secara visual
Ikan piranha mirip dengan ikan bawal yang hidup di air tawar. Piranha memilki ciri-ciri tersendiri, iantaranya mempunyai sifat yang agresif dengan mata yang besar bulat merah, dilengkapi gigi-gigi segitiga yang runcing dan tajam pada ujung-ujung mulutnya yang monyong maju ke depan. Rata-rata ikan ini mempunyai berat antara 600 gram sampai 700 gram, walaupun ada beberapa species di Amerika Selatan ada yang beretnya mencapai 4 kilogram. Seperti pada jenis piranha perut merah dan piranha hitam mata merah yang memiliki tubuh lebih besar dan jenis tersebut sangat berbahaya bagi manusia.
Keganasan piranha terlihat jelas pada saat memangsa mangsanya. Piranha biasanya bergerombol dan apabila ada bau darah piranha apat langsung memakan mangsanya dengan gigi-giginya yang tajam bagaikan pisau dipasangi seperti tombak. Dengan menerkam dan merobek-robek daging mangsanya tak sampai satu jam dan yang tertinggal hanyalah rangka hewan yang bernasib malang.
Ikan ini juga dapat membuat perlindungan bagi dirinya dari serangan ikan-ikan besar. Dengan membentuk kawanan atau berkelompok agar tidak menjadi mangsa ikan-ikan besar.
