Topeng Monyet
Thousands of macaques are bred or captured from the wild to be used as street performers,
or known as “topeng monyet”. The macaques are used to perform street shows; wearing funny
masks, riding bicycles, performing acrobatic moves and doing amusing things. However, such
shows should be banned for few reasons.
First, topeng monyet is a kind of exploitation of monkeys for money. The monkeys are hung
from chains for long periods to train them to walk on their hind legs like humans. Their teeth are
extracted so they can’t bite and they are tortured to remain obedient. The monkeys are often
outfitted in dresses and cowboy hats and forced to carry parasols or ride tiny bikes. This animal
abuse will definitely hurt the monkeys.
Second, the ban of masked monkey show can help improve public order. Topeng monyet is
often performed when traffic is backed up at notoriously congested intersections. This will disturb
the sight and create traffic jams for many motorists or pedestrians will slow down to watch the
shows.
Third, banning the dancing monkeys is a necessary public health measure. It is important to
rescue the monkeys from street performances and help prevent diseases carried by the monkeys.
The monkeys used in topeng monyet may not be healthy and may have potential to some diseases
such as tuberculosis and hepatitis.
Considering the reasons stated above, topeng monyet should be banned for it exploits the
monkeys, causes traffic jams and spreads illnesses such as tuberculosis and hepatitis.

Vegetarians
There are many reasons why people become vegetarians, including personal health, the
environment, and the economy.
A vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat, poultry, and fish. Vegetarians mostly eat
fruit, vegetables, legumes, grains, seeds, and nuts. Vegetarians also consume eggs and dairy
products, but they avoid meat products, such as beef, chicken stocks, and gelatin.
According to research, vegetarians have lower risk of heart disease, high cholesterol,
diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure. This may happen due to a healthy vegetarian diet,
which has low fat but high fibre.
However, a vegetarian diet can be high in fat if it includes excessive amounts of fatty
snacks, fried food, whole dairy products, and eggs.
At the same time, a vegetarian diet can be simple and easy to prepare. Therefore, a
vegetarian diet must be well-planned to prevent and treat certain diseases.

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.
