School Uniforms Policy

School uniforms are uniforms which are obligatory worn by the students in the
school or any other educational institution. School uniforms tell many things such
as students' grade level and school or institution identity. Nowadays, school
uniforms become a debatable issue among parents. Some of them think that
school uniforms are necessary, while others think that they are not.

Some parents believe that school uniforms will make such good advantages to
their children while learning at school. First, school uniforms can keep students
focused on their education, not their clothes. Second, school uniforms may
improve attendance and discipline. The last, school uniforms are a symbol that
every student is equal in getting same education. School uniforms will not
differentiate whether the students are rich or not and students’ economic or
social class.

In other hand, school uniforms can affect negatively on students psychology and
performance in learning at school. First, school uniforms restrict students'
freedom of expression. Second, uniforms also may have a detrimental effect on
students' self-image because when students have to wear the same outfits, rather
than being allowed to select clothes that suit their body skin, they can suffer
embarrassment at school. Third, some students also find uniforms less
comfortable than their regular clothes, which may not be conducive to learning.

In conclusion, school uniforms remain important of the students’ forsakes.

Students will be discipline and will focus more on learning. School uniforms also
will show them that they are equal in learning. However, to cover all
disadvantages of school uniforms, it is better if school gives a free school uniform
day to the students on certain days and with certain themes.

Is Television Good or Bad for People?

Some people claim that television is a best friend, while others think of
television as the root of all evil. Many people blame the television for
society's violence and misinformation, while others see it as a rich resource
for education and entertainment. Who is right? For those who are asking
this question, you will find the costs and benefits of watching television in
the following paragraphs.

In this busy, expensive life, television is an easy and cheap source of

entertainment and information. From some entertainments provided by
televisions’ channel we can relax ourselves after having a hand-full day of
work. By watching international news, we will always be up-to-date with
breaking news around the world. Do-it-yourself shows can also give us
easy access to do many interesting activities in our lives.

However, sex, crime, and violence contents in television may have negative
effects on impressionable children. Children who are exposed violent acts
continuously are more likely to display violent behavior in their lives.
Ongoing studies have shown a lasting correlation between watching
violence on television in childhood and aggression that continues into
adulthood. Moreover, watching too much television is not good for your
health and makes you antisocial. Studies have shown that excessive TV
watching (more than 3 hours a day) can contribute to sleep difficulties,
behavior problems, lower grades, and other health issues. Watching
television fills the time a person might have spent doing important,
enriching things like interacting socially with other human beings, being
physically active, discovering the outdoors, etc.

Like other modern technologies, television has both advantage and

disadvantage. Watching television wisely and not to be too dependent to it
are the ways to get more benefits from watching television.
