Should College Education be Free?

College education should be free for all students. Education is a basic right and the key to success and prosperity and making it accessible to be a better society.

Countries that provide free education in college have higher rates of college graduates and more educated workforce. Providing free college education for students will reduce the burden of student debt.

Opponents of free education in college argue that it would be too expensive for the government to provide. The benefits of a more educated population will outweigh the costs in the long run.

Smoking Prohibition by MUI

Recently the MUI (Indonesian Ulema Council) issued a fatwa that smoking is forbidden and should be avoided. Smoking causes a variety of reactions in the community. The society is divided into two groups in considering that fatwa.

But, many people agree with MUI and the others do not agree with MUI. The party who agrees with the fatwa assumes that smoking is very dangerous for humans because it can cause various diseases like impotence, internal organs damage, death, and many more.

People who do not agree with the fatwa assume smoking is one of their right which should not be bothered. For us who can think certainly can determine our position on this issue. Based on these facts do we still think smoking is cool?
