pain in the back of sweet chocolate

Issues in “  bittersweet story of chocolate”  article that made by Tim Costello is about children labor force in chocolate industry. In this article Mr. Tim Costello show that he is not agree with the presence of child labor in the chocolate industry, because it is dangerous for children. He said in the article “ I’ve been to the cocoa field of West Africa and have seen exploitation first-hand. Children labor for long hours in high humidity and use dangerous machetes. “ .  And based on my research, there are a lot of abuses in the chocolate farming that given to children.

In my opinion, child labor must be stop. They are not a machine or slave who can be treaded unfairly and they shouldn’t work hard and get a lot of pain in their age. We should take steps to prevent child labor. Because almost everyone in the world like and consume chocolate, we cannot close the chocolate companies, but we can pray for them and spread this issue to the world. By spreading this issue, government WILL take a step by making law against the child labor and check or do survey to several chocolate companies. This research, check or survey must be done in every chocolate company, especially in West Africa, Ghana and the Ivory Coast , since, 70 per cent of the world's cocoa supplies come from West Africa, Ghana and the Ivory Coast. And for those companies who do child labor must be punish by the government.

I hope my blog reader can help those children by spread the issue and keep praying for them. Because we really need to stop them who do child labor, based on research child labor has increase by 5% since 1990. Don’t get this number increase, but makes this number into none. Lets prevent child labor.

ipeka issues that my friend and i are talking about

I’m Jennifer , and I’m studying at  IPEKA International, and I would like to talk about issue that currently being discuss in my school.

As a teenagers, we don’t like to be strictly ruled by other people, not as a primary student who must be ruled. My IPEKA friends and I rarely talking about school regulations that we are not agree with. For example about IPEKA shoo that we don’t like and about IPEKA socks that must be use as long as it must be.

Everyone said that IPEKA shoes and IPEKA socks is not comfortable compare to other brand that we buy outside the school. First, it is hot to use the Lauge IPEKA shoo. Because of that, our foot sweating and when we open the shoes , our foot usually smells bad. For example, several students, including me, like to open our shoes I class and when we open the shoes, the smell can be smell almost until the whole class. Secondly, IPEKA sock’s material is not really absorb the sweat that the foot produce, so when we open the socks in class, its smells worst than if we only open the shoes. And honestly the smells is really s*cks! Even I don’t like it. Several teachers bring perfume to our class to prevent the smelliness of our foot smell, which is really smelly, especially after PE period.

To show our disagreeness, we ask to several teachers “why do this rule is made? “. We think that it is really silly to use IPEKA shoes that are so d*mn unconformable and a matter about our shoes is not related to our education.

In my point of view, I admit that IPEKA shoes and socks are not comfortable and makes my foot smells bad. And I also agree that shoes and socks are TOTALLY not related with our study. But I believe that every rule has a purpose, even though we don’t know what is it. And we need to obey our authority for every regulations and law.

blooging feelings and internet use

Blogging really helps me to write about my feelings, to improve the way I write an essay, and it is also helps me to represent my feelings in proper words, so its improve my vocabulary. In he future, blogging can help me to be a good commentator because I can present and show my feeling and opinion in more proper words.

Internet these days really help me to connect with global things, like news and history. Not just that we can also use Internet to make connection with world wide people through social network, like skype, facebook, twitter, ect.

Other than those things, internet is really important for my studies and learning. It helps me to do get important information for doing project , assessment, research, or get understand my school task. But sometimes we need to be careful to get information, because sometimes it can be edited by other person. Not just to do theproject, internet also sometimes help me to collect several online project.

For further education, internet is really important to collect my university applications. Rather than send those applications by my own, or pay a lot of money for express delivery, especially when those universities are not in the same city, probably abroad or in other city.

Not just help in my knowledge and education, internet also helps me a lot in my career. Many teenagers and business owner start to make an online shop because its easy to build, low cost,  no tax, and other advantages compare to open a store in just 1 place. Now with the rapidly improvement on technology, business start to connect their consumer through social network, like personal web, facebook or twitter, so they can get comment from their consumer that aim to improve their business, and can satisfy consumer wants.

Same case as collecting my application to university that I wanted to go, internet helps me to collect my applications to several corporations and business that looking for employee. And if I have a business or corporation, I also can see my employees history and background, so if there is applicant with bad background and history, I’m not gonna received them as my employee.

These are my feelings about blogging, and how the internet impact on my studies and affect on my future. As internet have many uses, we must use internet wisely and not misuse internet.
