The negative Effect of Rock Music

Thesis : Good music should give some advantages for people, for example, the music of Mozart can increase someone intelligence or pop music can reassure someone’s feeling. However, it is different with the rock music.

Arguments : Many controversies have sprung around this kind of music. Those who cannot tolerate with rock music consider it a negative influence on young people.

There are those who do not approve of the way rockers dress and behave.

Some go further and accuse rock of Satanism. For example, Ozzy Osbourne, a famous rock star, often bit the head of small animals and drank their blood on stage. Many people considered such acts affiliated with Satanism.

There are also occasions where teens commit suicide after going to such a concert or listening to the music. Such cases strengthened the conviction of many people that rock music, such as heavy metal, underground music is truly bad influence.

Recommendation: I feel that we must concern with our young generation. I am appealing the music and entertainment promoters not to invite rockers or give rock concerts, for rocks concerts usually present wild impacts on young generation.

For adolescent groups, it’s just something that comes naturally. The way you dress can help you when want to give the best impression and win the people over by the end of the meeting! It’s true, isn’t it?

Orientation : About ten years ago, Vicky received her list of new students. The registration form had a space for their dates of birth, which are only completed if the students are under age. She read through the names and realized it was a kiddy group as their dates of birth were around 9 and 10 year olds.

Crisis : She found it strange that the list had been handwritten, they normally come straight out of the computer. However, she ignored it.

Incident : Then, she realized that the starting date was actually the first day of Spanish Carnival. “Great! I thought. I’ll use my teddy bear suit, bring in my box of cuddly toys and base my first class on animals and colors”. She remembered thinking that most kids dress up at carnival and they’d find it cute if their teacher was also in the carnival spirit. And that’s what she did, she arrived on the first Thursday of carnival, dressed as a cute little teddy bear, with her box of toys under her arm. He held the registration form on her left hand. She walked through the door quite happily… only to see the Director of Studies. Seeing her, he was completely astonished. She smiled at her and looked straight at her as he said: “Good afternoon, Vicky, I would like to introduce you to Mr. Mendez, the director of “lingua”, who has organized the English course which you will be teaching today”. Mr. Mendez had an excellent sense of humor. The secretary then interrupted to apologize her about having given her the wrong details for her new class. Unfortunately the computer had been re-programmed and had lost part of the school’s vital information. That’s why her register was handwritten!

Coda : Be careful! You never know what could await you in your next English class!

Comments and Opinions

Another blow for Indonesia

Comment 1 : For those living in Indonesia’s north western regions it must have felt like a nightmare. The recent earthquake has cost at least several hundred lives, and possibly rendered thousands more homeless on the island of Nias, off the north Sumatra coast.

Comment 2 : While the earthquake is not as enormous as the Boxing Day tsunami yet it is a tragedy on an enormous scale. That is why the best thing Western countries can do to prevent another devastation such as on Boxing Day is to encourage economic integration with developing countries. It means an end to trade barriers and to assist them in eradicating the corruption and cronyism that holds many of them back.

Final suggestion: We will never be able to do anything about the destructive earth on which we live. But we can create societies whose cities, buildings and institutions are better equipped to withstand nature’s assault.

Tsunami alert on track

Comment 1 : The violent earthquake of the coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra late on Monday night created a panic in Thailand and other countries around the Indian Ocean rim. It was a grim reminder that tsunamis, one of the world’s most devastating natural disasters, could strike at any time.

Comment 2 : The successful early warning system and subsequent evacuation were a good exercise, allowing us to evaluate our preparedness to respond to disasters.

Final suggestion: Above all, the costly lessons learned on Dec, 26 should convince the government that managing our country’s preparedness to deal with disaster should be left to professionals. Professionals who are free to exercise their judgement without fear of favour , or intervention from politicians.
