Hello! 
TODAY WE HAD A GROUP ESSAY WRITING AND WE SUBMITTED OUR ESSAYS ABOUT HUMAN TRAFFICKING. WE WERE DIVIDED INTO 5 GROUPS. THE TOPICS THAT MY GROUP GET WAS "HOW INTERNET CAN HELP INCREASE OUR LANGUAGE SKILLS". WE WERE GIVEN 8 MINUTES FOR EACH PERSON. I GUESS OUR GROUP DID IT WELL :) 

MY ESSAY ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING:


WAYS TO OVERCOME HUMAN TRAFFICKING

      Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery. It involves controlling a person through force, fraud or coercion to exploit the victim for forced labor or sexual exploitation. (the hook-definition) According to research from Michigan University, approximately three out of every hundred persons worldwide were in forced labor at any given point in time between 2002 and 2011. (transition) There are few ways to overcome this uncivilized crime such as using media to give awareness to the society, government should tighten laws and improve the security level in our country (thesis statement)

   One of the ways to stop human exploitation is use social media as a mass communication to give awareness to the public. (topic sentence) Nowadays, social media is a famous way to communicates and shares information with others. The power of social media is very strong that it can gives a deep impact or impression to the society. Some examples of social media that we can use are facebook, twitter and instagram. We can use these social media to spread the words about the exploitation. To illustrate, society can post posters about human trafficking on instagram.(supporting sentence) Thus, using social media can help to increase awareness in society about this awful crime.(concluding sentence)

    Another way to overcome this barbaric crime is government should tighten the laws that are related to this crime.(topic sentence) As an institution that has legitimate power to control, government should tighten its law by giving a tougher punishment to the criminals. For an example, if a person involved in human trading, he should not only be given fine but he should be sentence for jail for the rest of his life. This is the best way to punish the human trafficking criminal because if they can escape their crimes by using money, they can easily start the crime all over again.(supporting sentence)Hence, the government as an institution that possess power to command should tighten its law to overcome this crime.(concluding sentence)

    Last but not least, we can improve our security level to prevent from human trafficking.(topic sentence) From what we can see now, our country is lack of security and that make us feel so insecure. Government should spend more money on improving our security level. For example, they should set up Closed-circuit Television (CCTV) in areas that are high possibility crimes will happen. In addition, police should monitor places like airport more often because this trading usually happens there.(supporting sentence) Thus, higher security level can help to prevent human trading.(concluding sentence)

In a nutshell, not only government should take action but the society should get involve as a team to overcome this uncivilized crime. Many lives can be safe if we take precaution and crime rates will decrease.(suggestion) Like a saying goes, prevention is better than cure.(quote) If we ignore and let this crime happen, do we still have faith in humanity?(question)

Another significant reason of someone takes drug is due to peer pressure particulary from the social influences among friends and comunity.(topic sentences) In addition,the person might get convinced to think that there is nothing wrong with trying drugs because ‘’everybody else doing it’’ . For example, many of them do it to impress their friends and to gain more attensions.(supporting sentences). Thus,friends influence may be the reason why someone takes drugs. (concluding sentences)

Next, family problem is one of the reasons why people take drugs.(topic sentences) There are many causes why family problem can affect to their children to take drugs such as divorce,parents so workerholic,lack of attention from theor parents.It makes their children under pressure so that to release their stress they take drugs.(supporting sentences) Hence,the reason why children take drugs is due to family problems.(concluding sentences)

In a nutshell, curiosity,peer pressure and family problems are causes that some people have to deal with adolescent lives.(thesis statement) As to avoid this situation continuosly happens,everyone must take an action and avoid from involve in drug abuse so that it can be reduce in our country. (suggestion) Parent should take this matter seriously for their children so that it can avoid them from taking drug like a saying goes ‘’prevention is better than cure’’(quotations)

TITLE : THE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF DRUG ADDICTION AMONG        TEENAGERS

According to New Straits Times , 10 000 teens have died this year in this country due to drug abuse and addiction. Teenagers often experiment with a variety of activities and this experimentation leads them to substance addiction (HOOK.   In addition to cocaine , Ecstacy and other club drugs , a recent Monitoring the Future Study showed that the top six most abused drugs by teens are marijuana (31.5%) , Vicodin (9.7%), amphetamines (8.1%) , cough medicine (6.9%) , sedatives and tranquilizers (6.6% each) (THE TRANSITION) .Without any treatment , the effect of drug addiction on teens can lead to serious consequences such as emotional problems , physical abuse and also brain damages (THESIS STATEMENT) .

Firstly , drug addiction can affect or mask emotional problems such as anxiety, depression, mood swings, suicidal thoughts and schizophrenia.(topic sentence) In fact , among teens with major depression , 34.6 percent report using drugs. Unfortunately , drug use can also increase the severity of these emotional problems. For example , teens who use marijuana weekly double their risk of depression and anxiety.(supporting statement) Thus , emotional problem in teenagers will lead to many unexpected events because of drug addiction  .(conclusion statement)

Besides that , teenagers who abuse drugs are more likely to be involved in physical abuse - related injuries or death.(topic sentence) One study showed that 4 to 14 percent of teenagers who uses excessive drugs committed suicide. Some of them died in traffic accidents. When tested , they are positive for THC . When they are under drugs, they become dillusional in seeing things that sometimes do not even exist and they become uncontrollable .  Some of the physical abuse that usually happen to these teenagers are jumping of a building , driving dangerously on roads and also injuring themselves with sharp tools.  (supporting statementsHence , teenagers should be aware of the negative impact of excessive drugs  and also note to self that excessive drugs will kill one’s life which lead to physical abuse.(conclusion statement)

Another negative effect of drug addiction among teenagers is brain damage .(topic sentence) Drug abuse among teens can result in serious mental disorders or permanent damage to the brain or nervous system. For example , brain damage among teens who abused drugs includes brain shrinkage , amnesia and memory problems (supporting statement) As a result , drugs will also affect their learning process, the way they think and damage their brain . (conclusion statements)

To conclude , drug addiction gives a lot of negative consequences for teenagers in all aspect. To avoid this situation from continuing , parents should always be aware of their children’s social life and give full attention to their children at all time(recommendation statement) . This will help to decrease the rate of drug addiction among teenagers in this country .
