Example Paragraph Argumentation About the Environment
Environmental damage
Environmental damage has actually happened in almost all regions in the world, and it is all because of human activity that is not responsible for the actions of his actions. Environmental damage is also usually caused by the lack of care and concern for the citizens of the environment. But even though we also know that our environment is damaged, we still don't care about the environment.
After that, from the damage to the environment, we can also feel things that we don't want, but we don't even avoid things that we don't want, why? it's all because humans have selfishness that is already too high. But indeed in this world there are still some people who still care about the environment but do not exceed 50% of the people in the world. For example: At school maybe there are only 10 students out of hundreds of students who care about the environment, or maybe none at all
It all happened because of excessive pollution, no greening, illegal logging, littering that does not want to be responsible. If all the people in this world have a sense of responsibility like me, maybe at this time all the environment will be maintained neatly and cleanly.
In addition, there are many consequences that we will get when we damage the environment, for example, air pollution which makes us breathless, then illegal logging that makes no place to absorb water, and hopefully all humans do is to save energy. If we care about the environment, let's take care of the environment so that it looks neat and clean as before as before, which was clean and tidy.
And the conclusion of my writing, I want everyone to be able to apply to protect the environment regardless of obstacles, as far as possible to protect the environment.
Example Paragraph Argumentation About Economics
The cost of education in Indonesia today can be said to be expensive. Although the government has provided assistance, students are still required to pay fees for school needs, such as uniforms, clothes, books, and so on.
The high cost of education is not only in elementary schools, but also in college.
Many children who have graduated from high school prefer to work compared to continuing to college. So that education in Indonesia is uneven and only concentrated on people who are able.
As for the poor, higher education is only a dream.
Example Paragraph Arguments About Schools
Sultan Agung Tirtayasa Vocational School won an award as the best school in Indonesia. Many produce high-achieving students by the Sulthan Agung Tirtayasa Vocational School.
This sort of thing is proven by the existence of successful Olympic champions from this school. Not only that, other proud achievements other than in the field of accounting economics, there are other fields that also excel such as sports and automotive.
One year ago, this school sent 20 athletes as representatives of Indonesia in the Sea Games event such as long jump, this school had participated in an international long jump competition in London, England.
This proud achievement did not just happen, but it was all due to the hard work of the council of teachers and school committees who were always committed to producing students with good grades.
