The document discusses a proposed bill against pornography in an unnamed country. It presents two perspectives on the bill: 1) The government argues it protects women's rights by limiting exploitation, while critics argue it will limit women's freedoms by dictating what they can wear. 2) Woman activists believe the bill will restrict women's freedom and impose heavy penalties, though the author supports the bill to reduce rampant pornography's bad influence on youth. Overall, the document outlines both sides of the debate around the proposed anti-pornography legislation.

The government has decided to submit the draft of the bill against pornography and pornographic

acts. The bill states that anyone engaging in pornography is punishable by law. This includes public acts such
as spouses kissing and people sunbathing in bikini or swimwear. As a consequence, the bill causes
controversy.

The government argues that the bill is made to protect women’s right. Women have so far been the
object of exploitation in mass media and this only gives more benefits to the owner of the business.
Woman activists, on the other hand, argue that the bill will limit women’s freedom. They believe the
bill will dictate what women should wear and on how to dress and behave. If they fail following the rule they
will get penalties between Rp50 million and Rp1 billion.
Nevertheless, I do support the bill against pornography and pornographic acts. I believe that the bill
can decrease the rampant pornography shown or written in mass media that gives bad effects on young
generations.

There are a lot of discussions as to whether children should be given homework or not.
Some people claim that children do enough work in school already. They also argue that children
have hobbies that they want to do after school, such, as sports or music. A further point they make is that a
lot of homework is pointless and doesn’t help the child learn at all.
However, there are also strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and teachers argue that
it is important to find out whether children can work on their own
Without the support from the teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for children to sit
down and think about what they have learned in school. Furthermore they claim that the school day is too
short to get anything done that needs doing and it makes sense to send home tasks like independent
reading or further writing tasks that don’t need teacher’s support.
On balance, I think that some homework is a good idea but that it should be only given at the weekend
when children have more time.
