Indonesia Japan Expo 2013

Late post is late (=.=” ) seems like there’s no point on posting this anymore. But whatever. I just want to share this.

For celebrating 55 years diplomatic relationship & friendship of Indonesia-Japan, held Indonesia Japan Expo 2013 on 19-22 December 2013 at JIExpo, Kemayoran Jakarta. My school got an invitation to attend the opening ceremony. The event held right after an exam –the exam ended on 18 December—. In addition, there was tons of assignment that needed to be submitted on 19 Dec. All of that stuff made me dizzy @_@. After going through all the trouble and rushing all the assignment in one night, with the other 53 students I went to the opening ceremony. Oh, I almost forgot. I went there with three classmates. At first we couldn’t decided to go or to stay at class. But we decided to go after finishing all the assignment in one go. (We almost missed the bus =,=)

Animal Testing: Allowed or Not Allowed

In this modern era, science has developed to such a certain degree that scientist are able to find cure to an illness. To find that cure, scientists often use animal testing. Most animals used for research are breed for the specific purpose of testing and few animals used for testing are captured from the wild. They use animals for basic research such as behaviour studies and genetics while other animal testing is done for the benefit of humans. This research includes drug testing, surgical procedures, medical equipment, and applications testing like cosmetics and other household products. 

The pro for animal testing is that it helps researchers in finding drugs and treatments to improve health and medicine. Many medical treatments have been made possible by animal testing, including cancer and HIV drugs, insulin, antibiotics, vaccines and many more. Another important aspect is that animal testing helps to ensure the safety of drugs and many other substances humans use. Drugs in particular can carry significant dangers with their use but animal testing allows researchers to initially gauge the safety of drugs prior to commencing trials on humans. This means that human harm is reduced and human lives are saved as well improve the quality of human life. Scientists use animals for testing purposes because they are considered similar to humans. As such, researchers do recognise the limitations and differences but the testing is done on animals because they are thought to be the closest match and best one with regards to applying this data to humans. In addition, animal testing is the most accurate way to learn the effects of substances in a living body.

Animals have the right to live their own life; and we are not allowed to meddle with them just because we can. It is not worth torturing animals for the benefit of human. In addition, animals often die in the process of animal testing. Moreover, many of these animals received tests for substances that will never actually use, as it seems that the animal died in vain because no direct benefit to humans occurred. Another issue of animal testing is the price. Animal testing generally costs a big amount of money, as the animals must be fed, housed, cared for and treated with drugs or a similar experimental substance. On top of that, animal testing may occur more than once and over the course of months, which means that additional costs are incurred. There is also the argument that the reaction of a drug in an animal's body is quite different from the reaction in a human. Some believe animal testing is unreliable. Therefore, they won't react to the drugs in the same way compared to their potential reaction in a natural environment. Beside that, there’s a technology that helps human to find a cure without using animals. 

As a result of this controversy, people still haven’t got the answer yet for animal testing. Some people think that animal testing is allowed because it useful for humans that it helps researchers in finding drugs and treatments to improve health and medicine. However, some people think animal testing is not allowed because it is not worth torturing animals for the benefit of human. In conclusion, animal testing highlights the fine line between pro and contra, and thus becomes very subjective to each person.

Household Waste

How often do you littering? Quite often? Seldom? Never? Three out of four people still doing the littering. Why? They said that they were in a hurry, can’t found a trash can, and many other reasons. Do you know the effect of littering to our environment? Well, let’s see what will happened if we still do littering.

Of course we want to live in a save, good and clean environment. Who will make our environment like that if not ourself? One thing we can do to save our environment is start from the little things, start from ourself for a better future.
