Trash is defined as solid, disalcum, undesirable, and discarded. We still think that garbage is a trivial item and throw it away as we please wherever we are. It is not uncommon for us to see road users casually throwing garbage in front of the merchandise without feeling troubled. On the side of the road is a pile of garbage that resembles a small mountain, scattered. In the trenches are also seen full of various kinds of garbage. From this incident it can be said that the community has not realized that the waste dumped has an impact on public health and cause squalo.

In ancient human life, garbage has not been a problem. But with the increasing population with fixed space, the more days the problem of garbage becomes bigger. This is evident from the changing modernization of life and the development of technology in which human activity is increasing. The more diverse activities, various types of waste produced, especially garbage coming from housing. In a sense this waste is produced by locals who carry out the disposal of the remains of the goods or products they have used. Waste consumption is waste produced by humans as users of goods.

In connection with human activities, the problem of waste will be related, both in terms of social, economic, and cultural. The health of a person or society is a social problem that is always related between the components that exist in society.

If it can be secured, waste will not be a potential effect on the environment. However, managed waste is not in a place that guarantees environmental safety. It has an impact on public health, the environment becomes rundown, and appeals to a variety of animals, such as flies and dogs, that can carry diseases. Potential health hazards that can be posed such as diarrhea, cholera, typhoid and fungi can spread quickly, because unmanaged garbage can mix with drinking water and spread disease viruses.

Liquid seepage garbage can enter the drainage or river and will pollute the water. Various organisms in the water, including fish, can die. More extreme, some aquatic species may vanish and result in changing biological aquatic ecosystems. Waste dumped into the water will produce organic acids and organic liquefied gases such as methane. In addition to smelling unpleasant, in high concentrations of gas (methane) this can explode. Surely it can harm the wider community.

It is not uncommon for existing garbage to fill the trenches around the house, causing flooding. The rainy season becomes an unpleasant season for the community, especially in dense settlements. The trenches are no longer able to drain water to the maximum, because it is blocked by piles of garbage. This resulted in unstoppable rainwater and the memory of the yard. Existing puddles carry an unpleasant smell, as well as kill the grasses in the yard and other open spaces.

When viewed in some areas, this incident of littering often occurs in urban areas. The question is whether the villagers are better behavior than the towns community?

The City Without Slums Program (Kotaku) is not only physically intervention but also social, economic and cultural / behavior of the community. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to prevent slums. Do not let then slum 0% (based on the current area) but instead appear new slums in other areas. Of course, tactical and sustainable measures are needed by all components of society for the sake of human survival.

It’s time for a change in waste management to be made. Waste management means the collection, transportation, processing, recycling, or disposal of waste. Good waste management can certainly reduce its negative impact on health, environment, and beauty, in addition to being a slum prevention.

District/city governments can take appropriate policies to deal with existing waste problems. The waste problem is a very urgent issue and should be a priority of the district / city government. The involvement and support of the whole community is certainly important for the realization of government programs. Government policy can be in the form of allocating existing waste in the district / city to a suitable place. The appropriate place should be far from the settlements of the inhabitants. The distance of the trash can with the source of clean water should also be a concern, because the garbage that is thrown away can contaminate the source of clean water. Various diseases can be caused by contaminated water sources, such as abdominal pain. And, last but not least, trash cans should be far from agricultural areas and plantations. Non-biodegradable decomposed waste can cause solid soil and cover the soil surface. Both of these reduce soil fertility so that agricultural areas are no longer able to produce well.

In addition, burying waste is one way in waste management. This method is very popular in all parts of the world. Burial of garbage can be carried out in abandoned soil, mining pits, or natural pits. A well-managed burial site produces a hegenis and inexpensive dump. Garbage burial avoids contact with the atmosphere layer. Directly exposed waste can cause unpleasant odors, unintractive landscapes and nests for different types of microorganisms and makrorganism causes and carriers of diseases.

Special organic waste can be used as an environmentally friendly organic fertilizer (biological processing). Biological substances can be plant substances, food waste or paper. One example of waste management using composting techniques is the Green Bin Program in Toronto, Canada. That is, household organic waste, such as kitchen waste and plant pieces, is collected in special bags for composting.

Changing existing organic waste can bring its own advantages. Fertilizers derived from organic waste can be used for personal purposes, even for sale. Organic fertilizer material is very easy to get, and this fertilizer is famously environmentally friendly. Non-organic waste such as bottles, and used cans can be used as useful things with a touch of art. With his creativity, people can create artificial flowers with plastic and used pipettes and use used cans for their pots. There are also many toys that can be made from non-organic waste such as cans and bottles, for example to make a toy-making car. In short we can turn existing garbage into items that have artistic value and even selling value.

Health is the most valuable treasure for us. Even though we have abundant possessions but we are sick, we will not be able to enjoy these treasures. Health itself consists of physical health and mental health. Physical health is when our bodies do not have diseases or injuries due to certain diseases. While mental health is health related to our souls. Mental health is usually related to a person’s mental condition that is disturbed or just fine. There are several things we can do to maintain our physical and mental health. First, exercising, maintaining endurance, and strengthening our immune system so that getting sick is not easy. Second, eat healthy foods to make our bodies not malnourished and stay healthy. The third is sufficient rest to ensure that our bodies are not tired and that our immunity stays stable. Meanwhile, we should refresh our minds by walking or visiting tourist sites to improve our mental wellbeing, so that we don’t get overwhelmed.
Most people are stricken with diseases during this pandemic. Most of them get ill because they are not healthy enough to fend off the incoming virus with their immunity. One of the major reasons is the immune deficiency in warding off this disease because they feel afraid of contracting the disease so that they feel overwhelmed and decrease their immunity in warding off the disease. Chemical medicine is the quickest alternative to the treatment of someone’s condition in this modern age because chemical drugs have a quicker response to pain relief, chemical drugs are much easier to access because they are readily available in pharmacies or other drugstores. Chemical medicines, however, have harmful effects that many people do not realize, such as long-term use, which would make our bodies suffer from new chemicals-induced diseases. Kidney disorders, damage to the liver, and many more are diseases that can be caused by chemical medicines.
Besides chemical drugs, there are herbal medicines which are medicines which if taken in the long term, are safe for human consumption because herbal medicines are made naturally with natural ingredients taken from nature. The herbs that we sometimes encounter are jamu. Jamu is a herbal medicine that is very useful for us so that we are not susceptible to disease in order to maintain health. Besides that, it can also increase immunity by consuming herbal medicine, because there are natural ingredients in herbal medicine that can increase our immune system.
So it can be concluded that for someone health is very important. And that can be achieved by exercising, maintaining a diet, and taking medication or vitamins to improve the health of our bodies. Herbal medicine is one of the natural medicines that we must consume and without any adverse side effects, herbal medicine has had good properties since time immemorial. Jamu is a herbal medicine that does not cause dangerous side effects such as chemical drugs that are widely consumed today. So start taking herbs for our health and reduce chemical drugs.

For young people, schooling is a must to make it easier for them to reach their goals. There are several educational styles we can introduce in this modern age, one of which is homeschooling. Homeschooling is a learning approach that is carried out at home, not at school, where our parents or superiors are the teachers. There are the rewards and excellence of the village in homeschooling. Some of the benefits and drawbacks of homeschooling are shown below.

The advantage of first homeschooling is that it makes it easier for parents to supervise children’s interactions, because parents can control their children to hang out with anyone, thereby reducing the risk of children making wrong interactions. Secondly, learning will be more optimal and effective because students will focus more on learning and the teacher can determine the learning model that suits the child’s wishes so that he does not feel bored and can be comfortable with the learning model he is following. The three children will get adequate rest after they learn. It’s different from studying at school because sometimes after a day of schooling at home they are also required to study because they have homework to complete. Fourth, avoid promiscuity, because parents can supervise children in choosing a playmate. Fifth, parents can maximize or see the potential of their children from an early age, without having to follow the rules set in public schools.

The disadvantage of homeschooling is that the first child will be less reliable with peers. where when studying at school they can easily be counted with peers because many friends can be invited to play during recess. Second, the child will materialize from a bad social environment so that he will not be ready to deal with and uncertainty in the community environment. Third, the child will have difficulty working with teams, organizations, and leadership because he or she is accustomed to learning alone and only accompanied by parents or a teacher.

It can be inferred from the analysis above that homeschooling has a good positive effect on the education and growth of children since they are accompanied directly by their parents. But it also has a detrimental effect on the social growth of children in approaching the future culture, engaging with peers of the same age, and working in teams together.

At least, everyone has one social media account in this era. it shows how important social media is in the life of modern society. hence, it is not wrong if we think that social media is part of our life. However, Everything in this world must have advantages and disadvantages, because perfection belongs only to our god. Therefore, a user of social media has to be able to use it well and wisely. Therefore, I will explain some advantages and disadvantages of social media.

 

Social media has some advantages such as Communication, Connectivity, searching information, and education. In communication and connectivity, Social media helps us to communicate more easily with other people. Regardless of location, wherever you are we can easily be connected with other people. As we can see, social media has various communication features, such as an online chat feature or even a Video Call feature. You have a much more comfortable and much better way to connect with other people using this feature. The other one, social media can also be used for free. then, Social Media can be used for searching and get information faster and easier. For the most part, posting on a social media platform is shorter than a website or blog. Meaning, social media is more direct-to-the-point, you can easily understand it by only reading it once. Besides, if the media used on social media to share information is video. This will give you information that is easier to understand. You as a social media user can also use this advantage to share useful information with others. and the best advantage from social media, we can learn various things, one of which is education. Currently, many schools and educational institutions provide their services using social media. You can use it to communicate directly with your teachers and peers. You can learn what you do in class. Moreover, you can also use this method anywhere, provided you have an internet connection.

 

However, just like anything else in this world, that everything always has advantages and disadvantages. So that social media as well. Here I will describe some of the disadvantages of social media according to my understanding. The first thing that happens most often is hoaxes on social media. The feature that is easy to share also allows irresponsible parties to share false or hoax information. Some of them even do that consciously to create chaos and even damage others. The bad thing is, this kind of information can easily and quickly spread. Most social media users find it easier to believe what they read on social media. Without proper comparison, check and find out the truth. then social media makes us in addiction and dependent.  because there are so many advantages, convenience, and comfort in communicating, searching for information, and having fun with social media, many people have become too dependent on social media. The result is social media addiction. It feels like if you are not online or don’t see what’s going on social media for even an hour, something is missing in your life. Many people experience this condition. They even admit that they cannot live without social media, so social media causes us to be less social in real life.

from the review above we can understand that social media can be useful for us if we can use social media in positive ways such as in the education process, online business, and others. but if we can’t use social media properly it will harmful to us. Because in social media many negative things can damage our mindset and some websites are not good for us. therefore, we as a good human, we must be able to use social media properly and wisely

 

Hello everyone, welcome back with me Ifatun Nisak from fifth semester English Education Department Islamic institute Al Qolam Malang.  On  this occasion I will write a little of my opinion about “violence punishment “ to fulfil my writing task . So, check it out.

 

In every institution there are rules that must be obeyed. Actually, the rules were made to make us even more disciplined. However, sometimes some people do not obey the rules. Therefore, they have to bear the consequences namely they must get the punishment that must be accepted. The consequences can be learning or violence punishment . On this occasion I will share my opinion on the violence punishment. As we know, violent punishment has both advantages and disadvantages. Strengths and weaknesses of violent punishment as follows :

 

First, there are some parents who do not accept that their child is punished by violence. When their children get punished for violence. Then, they will report this incident to the police as a form of human rights. Second, it will cause bruises. The effect of violent punishment is bruising. This will make children feel less sick with the violent punishment. In fact, sometimes children fall ill from the effects of punishment cruel like wounds on several parts of their bodies.Third, trauma. Children will feel excessively traumatized by the effects of violent punishment. They are afraid to return to the institution because they remember the violent punishment they have endured. Fourth, a bad point of view. Violent punishment will create a bad perspective in the environment around the institution. Society will think that the institution is too strict and harsh on its students. As a result, the child will find it difficult and less enjoy the learning process in class. When children do not enjoy the learning process in class, they will not receive knowledge well .

 

In addition, violent punishment has the power to make children a better person than before. First, motivation. Violence punishment can motivate children not to repeat the same mistakes and become better people and obey the rules. In addition, other children will also be motivated not to break the rules because they know what will happen if they break the rules. Second, discipline. Violence punishments will make children more disciplined than before. Moreover, other children will feel afraid and more disciplined. So, the children will obey and not break the rules. Third, understand. As we know, rules are made to make children better. When children break the rules, they get punishment for violence. Someday, they will understand why the institute board makes rules and know the advantages of these rules. Sometimes the benefits of regulation can not be felt right away but can be felt at a later date the benefits. Fourth, shame.Violent punishment will make children feel very embarrassed because others will find out if they are not following the rules. This shame will affect them well into the future because violent punishment will make us realize they will feel the consequences of everything they do. Fifth, responsibility. Violent punishment lets children know that they are held accountable for everything they do. It will be useful for them in the future because they will be more careful in doing something. They will think about the impact of what will happen. Sixth, lessons. Violence punishment teaches children a lesson because they will know that they can not  do anything on their own. So, they can control themselves and do not do anything that will harm themselves.

 

From all these explanations, we can tell if violent punishment has strengths and weaknesses. But, in fact in the current era it will be difficult to practice violent punishment in institutions because they will be related to human rights. This is different from the past era . Where violent punishment becomes a force to make people better and useful in the future. In essence, I think we can still carry out the punishment by force but based on the situation. if we find new students not obeying the rules, we should not punish them with violence because they are still in the process of adapting to their new environment. But, if it is the old students who break the rules we can use violent punishment to give them a sense of deterrence. Where they already know the environment and regulations in their institution. I think that is all. thank you very much for your attention to have read my writing on this topic until the end.  see you in next time and Have a nice day….

Writing Task
-Trash-
Hello guys, welcome back in official website English Student Association of Islamic Institut Al-Qolam Malang. Now, I want to write my task about Trash. we know the word ‘Trash’ is familiar in all of us. So here I will explain more details how the problem is about it. Check it out!
Trash is an invaluable or worthless object that is around the community. But it can be reprocessed into useful goods for people who want to manage it. In Indonesia we can see trash everywhere especially in urban areas and be a big problem for every country including the Indonesian environment. Trash in our environment is a very serious problem and also a social, economic and cultural problem. Almost in all cities in Indonesia experienced constraints in processing trash. Trash is piled up due to lack of land for the last place so that peoples dispose of trash even throw the trash in the rivers, sewers, and seas. An environment polluted by trash are scattered everywhere will become dirty, shabby, and smelly. Then, cause disease. thus causing serious problems in environmental problems in Indonesia. I see most of the trash in the river and the ditch. Lack of awareness of people who throw trash in there make water overflowing and there is a flood when it rains. And all the trash was not supposed there. The trash can be discarded in its place by sorting out the trash in the place of trash. Green garbage for organic trash like leaves And leftovers, yellow garbage for inorganic trash like plastic, and red garbage for harmful trash like chemical water and etc.
Ok guys, now I will explain the effect of trash to the environment. Firstly, the effect of trash to the environment is water contamination or water pollution. Water contamination may occur when the waste is discarded to the river and often occur in areas that can not be reached by the cleaning team as in remote areas. In addition to contaminate the river, waste disposal or trash can also inhibit the groundwater process. Secondly, trash can also contaminate the ground and make it unhealthy. Trash burning can damage the soil itself if done continuously. Not only brings the effect of trash to the environment, but also brings the effect of trash to the health. Firstly, Trash pollution and dirty environment can bring bad impact on health. For example, garbage pollution may result in an increase in various digestive tract infections, so on. It is because with the accumulated trash without being thrown away properly, disease carrying animals such as flies will become more numerous and of course it is not only bad impact of a dirty environment and pollution on humans, but also effect of trash to the health. Secondly, another effect of trash for the health that we must provide namely the respiratory disorders. The trash if stacked continuously will rotten and cause a bad smell, so that this smell that causes respiratory disorders. Thirdly, infectious diseases. Carelessly discarded trash will be easily touched people. When people contact with garbage, bacteria, germs or parasites will move to the body, causing in various diseases. Next, the effect of trash to the beauty of nature and to our ecosystem is that natural beauty will be polluted by trash, especially plastic trash which is not easily to biodegradable in the sea which will damage the living ecosystem in our envirronment.
I will tell the solution and recommendations to tackle the problem of trash. First, we can recycle the trash. We can recycle the trash by way of cultivating into useful materials such as plastic trash for making ornaments, wallets, bags, or other valuables. Second, put the trash in the trash place. This is likely trivial for us all, but little people is doing the action. Do not forget to separate the trash into organic and inorganic trash place before throwing it, to make the trash easier for the recycling process. Third, bring your own shopping bag and cutlery. It can reduce plastic usage. Plastic itself is a material that is very difficult to decompose and can contaminate water and soil quality. Fourth, make compost from trash. It is directly breaks down the trash into useful fertilizer. And then how we can manage the trash of our kitchen house? Firstly, separating dry and wet trash. So that it is easy to decompose. Secondly, we can make compost the trash of our kitchen house. The rest of the kitchen trash can be used to make fertilizers, which we can use to treat plants around our homes. Thirdly, replant leftovers from our kitchen trash. That way we can use it when it grows and we can save our money without having to buy the materials that we have planted. Fourthly, make kitchen trash that can be used for kitchen decoration. Such as used syrup bottles can be used to make flower vases for decoration in our kitchen to make it more beautiful.
What should goverment do? Well, government has an important role in overcoming the trash problem. First, the government is limiting and reduces plastic trash. We have known many schools that have implemented Adiwiyata school based that will minimize the trash. Second, recycling the trash. We can know that the government usually holds the national racer about recycling. Whether rubbish becomes a fuel of vehicles or becoming a value that is expensive. Third, Providing services and technology to tackle the trash. Services such as trash banks that provide in each area, and etc.

hello everyone, here I will give a piece of information about junk food. Do you know junk food? Ideally, junk food is defined as processed food with negligible nutritional value and is often high in salt, sugar and fat. But we often confuse fast food with junk food. How are they different? Or what exactly is junk food? We have the answer for you!

          Junk food is unhealthy food that is high in calories from sugar or fat, with little dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, or other forms of important nutritional value. whereas fast food is fast food that is served immediately after being ordered. junk food is defined as “commercial products, including candy, bread, ice cream, salty snacks, and soft drinks, that have little or no nutritional value but have a lot of calories, salt, and fat. Although not all fast food is junk food. while other fast food is fast food that is served immediately after being ordered. , such as salads,

why does junk food like to be bought and consumed?  There are at least three reasons why junk food is so popular even though there have been many reviews that this food is a bad choice for health. 3 reasons for junk food that is widely bought and consumed : Cheap , practical, Sweet, fatty, salty, or all three

        indeed junk food is easy to get, cheap but behind it junk food has many disadvantages or health hazards, namely: It causes memory problems, reduces appetite, high cholesterol, diabetes and many more

          Changing habits from fond of eating junk food to healthy foods is difficult. Savory and sweet foods, such as chips, fried foods, or chocolate will be a very tough test to get rid of.to avoid junk food by eating only occasionally, not too often, change routines, prepare healthy food, see the content in it. to prefer foods that are good for health

I hope this little information can remind us how dangerous it is to consume junk food and remind us how to maintain our diet so that disease does not occur.

Who doesn’t know the internet? Of course, we know what internet is. most of people know about that. But, do you know when and what is the function of internet?. According to Wikipedia, the internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that uses the internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to communicate between networks and devices. From the previous definition, we know that internet is technology which can connect devices with network. Therefore, people use the internet to finish their works like in the offices, schools, and houses. Internet is everywhere and easy to get various information just with notebook or mobile phone. If we connected with internet, It will be easier when you want to get Kinds of your necessary.

We can’t say no, if the internet has many advantages. We can feel the advantages of internet directly. The first, The usage of internet is flexible, which means we can use the internet wherever and whenever. For example, you need to get a map when you visited a place. Then you just need to open the device and connect to the network. As a result, if you connected you will find a road and destination  you want to know. Second, we can get any kind of entertainments through various applications.

Learning activities such as discussion through video call and through applications like Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, and WhatsApp group. The materials of your study are available in a Google too that provide many information you want to get.
In the other hand, Internet also has many disadvantages. The first is when you were at the poor signal place, You can’t connect with the internet. So, internet needs a good signal. Second, the internet can be complicated if we don’t understand the usage. Third, there are many untrusted sources. Therefore, you must be careful and choose the best sources for your needs.

Actually, internet is very useful, but it depends on our usage. When we use it properly, we can get the advantages of internet. However it can damage your mind, and also your health if you don’t use it properly. Kids are the target which we must limit their time for using the internet. If we do not, they will be addicted. If someone in an addicted level, they will use the internet many times per day and will not care about something happen around them. The depression cause of the internet can happen too if we feel insecure within. So, I suggested that we must limit our time for using the internet.
