Intentionally, every country in the world has tried to improve more and more their modern science. Some people argue that it develops some traditional values fade away. I can not agree with this idea for the following reasons.
To begin with, the new invention is the improvement of the old one. We may not discover modern technology without learning to the ancient skills – what we have now bases on the traditional ideas. For example, the most revolutionary new invention of the last century, the internet, is the upgrading of the previous technology such as typewriter and telephone connection.
People might prefer the latest health treatment and throw the obsolete one. But for some people, they still use the traditional one. Natural medicines has proven that the traditional knowledge still useful for people. They are proven that they do not have side effects for human body than chemical drugs. Moreover, many people still look for an alternative way which is the traditional skill like massages in order to heal the pain.
It is clear that we can not totally leave the traditional ideas. The latest invention does not exist without the ancient one. We should keep traditional skills and treasure them to the next generation as the tremendous heirlooms.

Essay [Banning Private Cars Into City Centers]
In recent years, every big city in the world, with a growing of economics has largely developed number of buildings such as apartments, offices and malls in the designated areas. Meanwhile, a lot of cars and motorcycles are coming down to reach those facilities in the central of city everyday. Gradually, the problem of traffic jam is starting to become obvious and serious. Local government has implemented several regulations to stop increasing of using private vehicles, in fact, it does not help apparently.
Limiting cars and other private transportations enter the city may lead the decreasing of air pollution problem. Most of producing hazardous gasses in the air are dominated by private cars and motorcycles. Less using them on the road will reduce the risks of air pollution. More advantage by restricting private vehicles in city centers is giving solution for traffic jam problem. Too many cars on the street causes the congestion in the central city is decreasing dramatically. It is difficult to drive around the city because no adequate space for cars to ride. Moreover, the people will take more time heading their destinations.
The drawbacks will appear if government do not give alternative ways following the regulations of banning private cars into the city - people will flout the rules and try to find another loophole. For example, citizen in Jakarta still use their own cars because the number of Trans Jakarta, one of public transportation in the city, do not meet their expectation. By this I mean people are still reluctant to benefit that facilities because the routes of busway, another name of Trans Jakarta, do not accommodate all destinations. More instance, the 3 in 1 ordinance in Jakarta does not work properly because the owner of cars hire people on the street who need money to meet the minimum requirement of three people in one car.
It is clear that banning private cars in the city centers delivers many advantages. As consequences, government should supply good alternative facilities for citizen in order to direct them choosing public transportations instead.

As a result, it does not create air pollution and neither contribute to urban smog or acid rain. Moreover, nuclear power produces frugal energy. With a growing of population and increasing reliance on electric devices, the world will need more and more electricity. Fossil fuels as a energy resource is getting less recently and soon becoming rare. Nuclear energy can be alternative energy resource to solve the problem.
The main disadvantage of using nuclear technology is public fear of the unpredictable consequences caused by using nuclear energy. Many people around the globe believe that there are hidden dangers scientists may have overlooked, and that they may cause serious damage to human livelihood, wildlife and ultimately the world.

Essay [Forcing People Aged 55 Years and Above to Retire and Replacing Them With Younger Generation]
In the current economic climate, where jobs in many industries are under threat, some commentators have suggested that people aged 55 years and above should be forced to retire and be replaced by younger generation.
To what extend do you agree with this statement?
Many industries are in very serious problem recently due to economic climate recently. some people argue that one of the solutions is to retire people aged 55 above and hire younger employees. I tend to disagree for that solution for the following reasons.
First and foremost, people's abilities do not relate to their ages. The idea that the older the people, the weaker they are in terms of abilities and skills might be not acceptable. Many leaders in the world aged 55 above are great leaders. They have tremendous skills to manage their organizations. moreover, they have more experiences of life than young people, as the result they are more well prepared when they face problems.
Base on their physical body, 55 year old people can perform well. By this i mean, they are still able to work as hard and fit as young people, apparently. Undoubtedly, young people are eager to get new experiences at work, and their fresh ideas are needed by the companies. If both knowledge and power of young and old generation are combined, it is conceivable that may lead companies to be more productive. The synergy between them can serve a tremendous help in encouraging problems in companies.
In brief, forcing people aged 55 above to retire and replacing them with younger generation is not acceptable to be done due to economic problems. Besides the reason of that base on their ages does not really make sense, it indeed also discrimination.
