The
Negative Impacts of National Examination
The examination is the main
determinant of graduation for students. It is only oriented to cognitive
assessment,
assessment of attitudes, morals, manners, etc aside. The national examination is a scary thing for
most of
the students. From year to
year, government
increases the standard of graduation grade. Even the subjects tested also increased. It is
clearly more difficult for students. After three years in school, the graduation
is only specified in the national
examination. It is unfair for them. There are some negative impacts from the national
examination. First, most of
the students
experienced stress and oppressed before, during, and
after the national
examination, especially students who feel less prepared for the national
examination so that many students cannot focus when they
do the
national examination
questions. Second, the students will pay attention to grades
than knowledge which they got in the school. Third, there are many frauds various backgrounds.
Many parties requested for national
exam review because it has
given the
big impact for students, but
until now, the examination still is being run and be the main determinant of graduation for
students.
The graduation standard
grade is increasing from year to year. It makes students feel stressed and oppressed before, during, and
after the national examination.
They feel a sense of misgivings if they fail on the national examination. During
the national examination, students usually feel nervous, moreover when they see
the face of an invigilator who looks so strict. After the national examination,
students still feel stressed because they feel the excessive concern on the
result of examination. They think about their result of the exam what the result
is good or not. Feeling stressed and oppessed are not only experienced by
students. Parents, teachers, and school also feel like that. First, parents
feel worried if their child fails on the national examination. If it happens,
they will feel embrassed. They also feel failed to be parents. Second, teachers
also feel worried of their students. If their students fail, they feel
unsuccess when they taught. Because of that, teachers do strive so that their
students can succeed on the national examination. The teachers and parents work
together with school parties, such as holding try out and praying together.
Finally, when the announcement of graduation is held, all the feelings become
one. The students who successfully pass the exam will feel happy, whereas they
who fail will feel stressed or depressed. Some students who fail on the national
examination and give up, they usually choose to end their life than they have
to live with bear a sense of shame. The condition is so sad.
Most of the students
will concetrate on the grade than knowledge which they got in the school. They just think about how to get good grades instead of how the way to get the beneficial knowledge. They look for how to answer the
questions of national examination quickly and exactly. They learned just for facing a preparation of the national examination. Therefore,
after the national examination finished, they will forget what they
have learned. Besides that, they just concern
about subjects included
in the national examination. While other subjects that are not included in the national examination are ignored.
Whereas all subjects should be tested because they are equally important subjects for living in the
future. Ahead before
the national examination, the students were busy to look for answer about the
examples of the national examination questions. They should prioritize
more on
understanding the
concepts than just remembering how to quickly answer the national examination
questions. When
students find different and difficult questions, they can still find the
solution of questions. The learning process is
only emphasized to cognitive aspects than other aspects such as affective and
psychomotor aspects which are ignored.
The national examination
often triggers the occurrence of fraud or dishonesty in its execution. First, it
comes from students. Some students usually find exam questions before the national examination,
they share answer to other.
Moreover, bulk cheating during the national examination already becomes
the culture among students. The
smartest student in the class became a key in the national examination. The students
tend to
be unconfident of their own capability. They choose to depend on their smartest
friends. They are afraid if their answers are wrong and suffer a big risk of
failed
being on the national examination. Besides, there are
teachers who also do cheating when the national examination takes place. Some teachers help their students by sending the answer of the subjects which are being tested. Although they know what they have done is wrong, but they insist that what they do for the good
of their students. It is one of the factors the descent of motivation learning
students.
The national
examination has given many negative impacts for our education world. First, most of
the students feel stressed and oppressed before, during, and
after the national
examination. The feeling is
experienced by students, parents, teachers, and schools. So that, all parties work together
for the students’s success.
Second, most
of the students will concetrate move on the grade value than knowledge which
they got in the school. The students just concern about subjects included in
the national examination and the other subjects are ignored. Actually, all
subjects are equally important for living in the future. Third, the graduation standard grade is increasing from year to year.
It also makes students give up and choose to find shortcuts. Bulk cheating during
the national examination already become the culture among students. Besides,
some teachers help their students by sending the answer of the subjects which
are being tested. The condition is so scary. The government should re-arrange the education system
in this country. This is not the time for the government to look for a good reputation in education by increasing the
national graduation grade,
but this is time to increase the quality of students so that they can compete
in the global competition.

Importance of sleeping in human life
Half of our
life we spend sleeping and we really don't bother to even think on it. We
rarely think what actually happens with our body. Sleep is nothing but the way
to rest our body, during which we are relieved from tension and the
consciousness of world is suspended. It is a natural process and occurs after
specific interval by default. While in sleep we have lessened movement of the
skeletal muscles and slowed-down metabolism.

Stages of
sleep:
Basically
there are five different stages of sleep. At start as we go to the bed we enter
the first stage of sleep. Initially for about 5 to 10 minutes until we go to
sleep we do keep turning on the bed. We are more cautious and can be awakened
easily. Our eyes blink very slowly and muscle activity slows down. In next
stage we become disengaged with the environment, breathing and heart rate are
regular and body temperature goes down. While in 3rd and 4th stages of sleep we
go into deep sleep and it is very difficult to wake someone during this period.
The body activities slow down; breathing becomes slower and relaxed; energy
regained; and hormones are released for growth and development. People who get
awakened during deep sleep do not adjust immediately and often feel groggy and
disoriented for several minutes after they wake up.
Sleeping is
it waste of time?
No actually

emotional functioning and safety. So we must find out time from our daily busy
schedule give rest to our working brain. Brain also requires rest it starts to

as waste of time, most of them get on with chronic insomnia. They are more
likely than others to develop several kinds of psychiatric problems, and health
problems.

Amount of sleep:
The amount
of sleep each person needs depends on many factors, including age. If we don't
feel sleepy throughout the day means we got enough sleep. Scientifically small
babies require more sleep around 15-16 hours. The young people sleep for 8-9
hours and the adults require 7-8 hours sleep. However it's much dependent on
that particular individual's body requirement also. While some feel comfortable
with say 8 hrs of sleep another person may require 9hrs also.

And interruptions from children or other family members can also disrupt sleep. Other influences to pay attention to are the comfort and size of your bed and the habits of your sleep partner.

Reflection
The article is very great. The article tells about importance of sleep. Everybody needs time to sleep every day. The quantity and quality of sleep can be influenced by some factors like environment, age, activity, gender, etc. Someone who is lack of sleep usually is easy to get5 sick because their healthy has decreased. So, although our activities are so full, we must remember to rest like sleeping for some time. Someone who lacks of sleep usually their face will be so tired and like don’t have power in their body. Their focus and concentration will be also decreased. It’s so disturbing their activities especially their activities which need more focus and concentration. So, sleep is very important for everybody. Sometimes, someone feel sleep is one of activities which waste time. They think like that because they have insomnia. Insomnia is a symptoms or problem difficult to sleep. It usually influenced by emotion or physical problem. Insomnia is so disturbing. The people who have insomnia should consult with doctor about their symptoms. Beside sleeping enough, for keeping our health, we must pay attention on our food which we consume and do sport. So, we can be healthy human.
I ever experienced insomnia. I felt difficult to sleep. My feeling was so restless and in the next day, I felt lazy to do activities. I could not focus when I got lesson from my teacher. It’s so annoying. I tried to get rid of these symptoms. Finally, I could sleep normally like others.
After I did long distance traveling, I felt so tired. I usually needed extra time for sleep because when I did travelling, I don’t get enough time to sleep. If I changed time for sleeping, I would experience decrease of my immune. So, I agree with article that sleep is very important. We must sleep as needed.

Problems of Young Adults
There are several problems that young adults
face. In the following article we shall shed more light on some of the problems
of young adults and understand how to solve them...
Being a young adult has got to be one of the
most difficult times in a person's life. You're at a stage where you don't feel
like a child anymore and neither do you feel ready to take up all the
responsibilities that adulthood brings with it. At this base juncture of
turning into an adult and being able to take care of yourself, there are
several and varied issues that can plague a young adult. These issues and
problems span over a diverse field and affect all aspects of their life. It is
these problems of young adults that we will be talking about in the following
article. If you need to know what some of these problems of young adults are,
continue reading.
The term problems of young adults is very broad and can span over several areas. In order to streamline it a little, the problems young adults face have been divided into emotional and physical problems. In the article that follows, we shall get into a little more detail regarding these two areas.
Problems Young Adults Face - Emotional
There are several emotional problems that young adults face. This has mostly got to do with their age and with change in their hormones. Let us look at some of these in more detail.
Need to Express
In this age there is a need for expression of thoughts and feelings. But since they have not been living in society and know nothing about societal pressures and constraints, they do not understand that this need to express themselves cannot be used in whichever way they want, but has to be used with discretion. They therefore often experience the 'foot in mouth' syndrome and find it difficult to deal with pressures of mincing their words.
Need to be an Independent Adult
This is where the problems of discipline arise. There is a need to be an independent adult, yes, but they haven't learned the ropes of it yet and therefore when parents try to discipline them, they want to rebel and oppose and put forth their rights as adults. It is due to this reason that they often go through the 'no one understands me' phase, which can lead to varied problems like depression and the like.
Need for Acceptance
At this stage the need to be with others of your own age is primal. Being a part of a group and developing healthy relationships and getting acceptance from them is of prime importance. And as it usually happens, there are bound to be misunderstandings and clashes in a group. When that happens, they often get into a self-pitying mode of how no one understands them.
Need to Succeed
There is an innate need to stand on their own feet and prove themselves and their capabilities to the world. If there is any hurdle in that path, it leads to varied psychological problems like stress, depression and anger.

Reflection
I think the article is very interesting because now I will be young adult. I
agree with the article that young adult is a difficult period. The period can make us feel confused
and we will think what we must do. We will find many problems which make us feel
depressed when we cannot solve the problem. Besides that, we are difficult to
control our emotion. Sometimes, we can handle our emotion. But, sometimes we cannot
handle our emotion because our emotion tends to be unstable. I also cannot
control my emotion. When I feel tired, I am very sensitive. I can be angry
easily if someone deliberately provokes my emotion. When I have a problem and I
do not find the solution, I will be
drop. I am a
sensitif girl, so I often express my emotion by crying. Although, I know that when I cry, my problem is not
fixed.
We also feel uncomfortable
with our performance. For example, we have acne in our face. Our confidence will be decreasing. We certainly want to be perfect. We do
not want have any mistakes. We do everything so that we feel comfortable with
our performance. Moreover, when we fall in love with the opposite sex. I ever experienced it. I felt uncomfortable. I was so
ashamed when I met other
persons. I tried to solve my problem. I bought a medicine for my acne.
Usually, young adult is the
period of intimacy vs. isolation. In this period, young adult tries to have a relationship and cooperation with other person. They
try
to be themselves and not to imitate other persons. I also try to build a relationship with other persons and I am happy because I have many friends. I can
share my problem, my feeling or others to them.
