Rizal’s Reasons for Indolence Your Personal Justification for said

Reason for Indolence

have an education and also they must give
more free schooling to those children that
want to learn more, and they must focused
on this rather than other non important
activity.

the people especially on the children’s
teenager under 18 years old. For me they
must focused on creating productive
activity like sports to lessen the humbling
because nowadays humbling is on of the
reason of people’s busy with instead of
jobs.

of government. nowadays the government
must check every tax prayer if they are
paying this tax because some people not
paying their taxes especially higher
income or upper class family that they
didn’t know.

water and environment and reduce air
pollution by use some alternative use to
travel by not using a fossil fuel.
