The Importance of Exercise

We all know that exercise is important in our daily lives, but we may not know why or what
exercise can do for us. Here are some benefits of exercises.
Exercise increases energy levels. Exercise improves both the strength and the efficiency of your
cardiovascular system to get the oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. When your
cardiovascular system works better everything seems easier and you have more energy for the
fun stuff in life.
Exercise improves muscle strength.Staying active keeps muscles strong and joints, tendons and
ligaments flexible, allowing you to move more easily and avoid injury. Strong muscles and
ligaments reduce your risk of joint and lower back pain by keeping joints in proper alignment.
They also improve coordination and balance.
Exercise can help you to maintain a healthy weight. The more you exercise, the more calories
you burn. In addition, the more muscle you develop, the higher your metabolic rate becomes,
so you burn more calories even when you’re not exercising. The result? You may lose weight
and look better physically which will boost your self-esteem.
Exercise improves brain function. Exercise increases blood flow and oxygen levels in the brain. It
also encourages the release of the brain chemicals (hormones) that are responsible for the
production of cells in the hippocampus, the part of the brain that controls memory and
learning. This, in turn, boosts concentration levels and cognitive ability, and helps reduce the
risk of cognitive degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Social Media are Bad for Teenagers
Social media Web sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and many others have become
nearly inescapable facets of modern life, particularly for teenagers. Social media is becoming
more than just a part of their world, it’s becoming their world. Teens are spending more and
more time online, usually on a social media platform like Facebook or Twitter. Most teens now
have smart phones where they are on social media networks all throughout the day. They are
constantly texting, tweeting, and posting pictures via Snapchat and Instagram. However, hyper-
connected to social media could be bad for them.
Today teens don’t know how to disconnect. Social media has allowed them to take their life
online from the time they wake up till they back to sleep via their smart phone. One reason this
“always connected” activity is harmful is because of the alarming trend of cyberbullying.
Bullying has now moved from not only being in the school and on the bus, but online. What
does this mean? If a teen is getting bullied, they cannot get away from it! The people bullying
them simply continue their bullying via social media
A new study has found that teenagers who engage with social media during the night could be
damaging their sleep and increasing their risk of anxiety and depression. Teenagers spoke
about the pressure they felt to make themselves available 24/7, and the resulting anxiety if
they did not respond immediately to texts or posts. Teens are so emotionally invested in social
media that a fifth of secondary school pupils will wake up at night and log on, just to make sure
they don’t miss out.
Another impact social media has had on teens is teens being more comfortable online doing
things that they should be more sensitive to doing. A separate study by the National Citizen
Service found that, rather than talking to their parents, girls seek comfort on social media when
they are worried. The survey also suggests that girls are likely to experience stress more often
than boys – an average of twice a week.
Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and many others are basically created to
connect everyone around the globe so they can interact and communicate each other.
However, too much exposure of social media can also be bad especially for teenagers. As it
mentioned above, social media could become media for bullying, risk them of anxiety and
depression, and risk their real-life social interaction. Therefore, social media are dangerous for
teenagers’ health both mentally and emotionally.

Corruption and Indonesian Culture
Corruption has happened for many years and today it becomes a bad culture in Indonesia
for three reasons.
Most adult Indonesian or foreigners have known and admitted that corruptions happen in
many places. The daily newspapers, news programs on TV and radio have reported corruptions
are done everywhere, almost in all departments or public services of this country. Corruptions
happen in health, education departments and banks. When we manage to get some documents
in public service offices, we usually need much money to pay. Manipulations happen everywhere.
The actions to eliminate corruption are weak. The ever stronger culture seems not to come
to an end when the responsible institutions who have to reinforce the justice today commit
corruption. This is the worst. Corruptions happen in police department, courts where judges,
public prosecutors, lawyers make deals to do corruption. All of us also heard in the end of 2004,
Probosutejo reported that he had bribed the Supreme Court, or called Mahkamah Agung which
becomes the highest level where the justice can be obtained. Perhaps you have to try to come to
the local courts and see what happen there. You will see practices of bribery and other kinds of
corruption. Therefore, we can say that corruptions becomes our culture. Do you like it?
The citizens have no goodwill to fight against the corruption. They create the situations in
which people ahave opportunities to do corruptions. The citizens like to break the rules because
they are not disciplined. For example, in the street when they drive a car or ride motorcycle, they
do not have the driving license or necessary documents. Then, they are caught by the local
policemen. To avoid more difficulties, they like to bribe the officer. The officer let them go then.
In other words, the citizens and officers are the same, doing corruption together. If only the people
were critical, disciplined, and obey the rules, and willing to report any wrong behaviors, this
country will not be number one corrupting country in the world.
Conclusion Based on the reasons, we can conclude that corruption is becoming a bad
culture in Indonesia if it is not ended soon by all of us. It seems that there must be more severe
penalty for the Corruptors. Do we still care about the future of this country?
