Negative Effect of Corruption
Do you know what the meaning of corruption is? What is the relation between money and corruption? Well, corruption is common everywhere in the world, even in the United States. It’s just a matter of intensity. However, it is quite shocking when one reliable survey claims Jakarta as the most corrupt place in Indonesia.
The survey has made me sad, actually, because I stay and earn a living here in the capital. As most people know, Tanjung Priok port smuggling is not a new thing at all. Entrepreneurs who want to minimize their tax payments tend to do such a thing more often. They even bribe the officials.
Well, I think the measures taken so far to overcome the problem by punishing the corruptors is still not far enough. We have to prevent the younger generations from getting a bad mentality caused by corruption.
I believe we should start at the earliest stages in school and I think everyone should be involved in the effort to eradicate corruption. We must not make any distinction.

Design of Electronic Device need Improvement
Internet access and e-commerce remains inequitable. Most of designs prevent disabled and older people to participate in the electronic age.
The barriers include the physical design of facilities, the cost of internet access and the design of interactive voice-response systems. The Human rights and Equal Opportunity Commission’s report on electronic commerce said that technology’s great potential for increasing access was not being realized.
The design of ‘advanced’ ATMs had made them harder for blind people to use, compared with earlier models. Machines that once had buttons now relied on screen displays, for instance. The commission also suggested that students with disabilities needed particular attention when educational material was provided in electronic form.
We emphasized that the designs of electronic facilities need improvement.
