ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY

Thesis: Lecturers are not responsible for motivating students to learn.

1^st argument:  College students are already mature enough.

2^nd argument: The main motivation comes from your self.

3^rd argument: Lecturers are not the one and only source of student’s motivation to learn in university.

Contour argument: Lecturers have big impact in teaching-learning process in a university.

Conclusion: Motivation student to learn is not lecturer’s responsibility.

Motivation is defined as the process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors. Motivation is what causes us to act, whether it is getting a glass of water to reduce thirst or reading a book to gain knowledge. If it is for college student, I think they are already mature enough. So, I do believe that lecturers are not responsible to motivate students to learn.

College students are already mature enough. Based on psychology fact people who already mature enough, they are able to control and manage their selves about their emotional, behavior how to act in whatever the condition is. They should place their selves in a proper condition. They also have their own principal. They have to adapt with whatever the situation and condition is, even when the lecturer doesn't support them to learn, they still control their selves and keep on their mood to study. They must make their own motivation for themselves not depend on people or especially lecturer.

The main motivation comes from your own self. Like Amit Ray said that  “You are your master. Only you have the master keys to open the inner locks.”so the key of motivation also come from your own self not from the other people. So no matter how hard the lecturer try to motivate the students to learn if they don’t want to change,  it will not change and the lecturer’s motivation will not affect them at all.

Lecturers are not the one and only source of student’s motivation to learn in university. Nowadays, there are so many ways to motivate students, not only from lecturers. For example, in university there are events or seminar that can support and motivate college student to learn. Based on my personal experience, I have a friend who is a college student who is taught by lecturers who are very lazy and even don’t support them to learn. But luckily there are so many motivation seminars and events in her university which can help her to motivate herself from the other source.

Lecturers have big impact in teaching-learning process in a university. Then, many people assume that because lecturers have big impact in teaching-learning process in a university. It means that the lecturers have responsibility in motivation their students because they think that if the lecturers can motivate students to learn, the teaching –learning process can run well.  But in the truth, there are so many students that the lecturers teach. So it will be impossible for the lecturer to be responsible in motivating their students one by one because lecturers are also a human, they have limited capacity in controlling many people.

A college student is already mature enough so they can control and manage themselves. They may not be dependent person. And also the motivation will affect more if the motivation comes from their own selves. It will be greater than it should be. However, the motivation will be back to the student’s personal itself. So, motivation student to learn is not lecturer’s responsibility.

An Important Day

Paragraph 1 (Introduction) : Have you ever felt that you have no friends who care of you? Do you ever feel lonely because you have no friend? This happened to me when I was in Junior High School. I thought that all of my friends didn’t care about me. Until one day something happened that changed my thought toward them. Let me explain how it happened and how it changed my thought.

Topic Sentences :

Paragraph 2 : When I was in Junior High School, I wanted to be like the other students who have a lot of friends to study with.

Paragraph 3 : Then one day, it was my birthday. 
           Paragraph 4 : From those things I can learn that, I may not judge people by the way they act in front of you. 

           Have you ever felt that you have no friends who care of you? Do you ever feel lonely because you have no friend? This happened to me when I was in Junior High School. I thought that all of my friends didn’t care about me. Until one day something happened that changed my thought toward them. Let me explain how it happened and how it changed my thought.

When I was in Junior High School, I wanted to be like the other students who have a lot of friends to study with.  But the things that happened in reality were out of my expectations.  I thought that I can have so many good friends there. But they aren’t. My friends treat me so badly that they even saw me like an enemy. They mocked me in every single thing that I did. I don’t even know whether they did it in purpose or not.  They never understand about my feeling. They just treated me like an enemy. How did it feel? It hurt me so deeply, and it even broke my heart. I never think that my friends in Junior High School will treat me like that. I never disturb them. I just want to make friend with them. But they didn’t even respect me. Day by day past, but there is no change in the way they treat me.

Then one day, it was my birthday. I felt so lonely, disappointed, angry, and I even want to cry. There is no friend who say happy birthday to me.  But, I can’t do anything. They don’t even remember my birthday. Until I arrived at my home and I saw there are so many decorations for birthday party. Those are very amazing and beautiful, it made me feel better. At first, I thought that my family who did it for me. But, I was wrong. It’s my Junior High School friends who did it for me. How I can believe that, I never think that they will do it for me.  There comes in many questions in my mind. Is it true? Did they really do it for me? How could they do it? And then, they suddenly come from behind me and bring me a beautiful birthday cake. I was so touched at that time and I even want to cry because of the happiness that I never felt before. Then, I hugged them directly. I said that I love them so much. After that, they apologize to me because of the bad things that they had done to me. And I directly forgive them. And that day made my day. Thank you so much to my friend.

From those things I can learn that, I may not judge people by the way they act in front of you. You must not think negative about everything that they’re doing. Sometimes it's out of our minds,right? but it really happened and you will never imagine that they can be so important for you one day.

      My composition for this blog:

Paragraph 1: The introduction

There are so many social problems in my hometown.

Paragraph 2: The problems

The problems in my hometown are overload of garbage and unemployment.

Paragraph 3: The solutions

For the overload of garbage we should do 3R (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle). And for the unemployment, government should provide more job opportunities and improve labor skills by giving training.

Paragraph 4: The conclusion

The main problems in city can cause other serious problem. That’s why it should be solved.

My hometown’s problems

Nowadays there are so many social problems which become the duty of both government and the society.  Actually all parties should take part in solving social problems. We know that Indonesia is one of the countries which has the largest population in the world. So it means that there will be many social problems from different city including my beloved hometown, Metro, Lampung.     

The first problem in my hometown is the overload of garbage. Garbage overload is one of the biggest problems in my hometown, Metro. We can find garbage on the street, river and even in our houses. The garbage usually came from industrial waste and household waste. And the amount of garbage will increase along with the increasing of population and diverse activities. For example, every factory has industrial waste, so when there are more factories operated it will increase the amount of industrial waste. Another main problem is unemployment. Unemployment is defined as the number of people who do not have a job that provides money. As my hometown is one of the city with highest unemployment among other cities in Lampung, it becomes a very difficult problem for government to solve. There are large number of populations in my hometown but there is only limited job opportunities make the problem even worst.

It is important to take action for those main problems. For the first problem, government and society should be responsible for the problems because if it’s not solved, it can cause another problem such as flood. So, to solve the problem we should reduce the garbage by using 3Rs which are reduce, reuse, and recycle. Reduce means that we minimize the things which can only be used for once, such as plastic bags, plastic bottles and so on. For example we can bring our own bags from home so we don’t need to use plastic bags. Trash is usually considered as something that is not worth and no longer useful, but for some people who are creative and innovative, they can convert it into more useful goods, like using modified cans as pots.  That is what we called as reuse. And the last is recycling. The rubbish can be recycled into some items which have value after going through some processes. For example, organic waste can be recycled into compost to fertilize plants and soil. This ways can help reducing waste. But government still need to solve for the unemployment problem. As unemployment could cause poverty, it must be solved as soon as possible. To solve unemployment problem, government should provide more job opportunities. And the society is also encouraged to create their own business. Besides providing more job opportunities, government also need to improve labor skills through internationally certified training. It is hoped that this can reduce the unemployment.
In conclusion, the main problems in a city can cause other serious problems that are harder to solve. That’s why it should be solved as soon as possible. So, as a part of the society we should help government in solving the problems by doing our responsibility.
