Smoking Prohibition by MUI
Recently MUI (Indonesian Ulema Council) issued a fatwa that smoking is forbidden and should be avoided. The prohibition of smoking causes a variety of reactions in the community. The society is divided into two groups in considering fatwa issued by MUI. Most of the people agree with the MUI. However, the others do not agree with MUI.
The party who agrees with MUI assumes that smoking is very dangerous for humans because smoking can cause various diseases and even cause death. The danger of smoking is not only bad for the smoker but also bad for people around them. It can cause death, impotence, internal organs damage, heart and many more. Based on this fact, MUI issued that smoking is haram because basically anything that causes damage is unlawful and should be avoided.
On the other hand, people who do not agree with the MUI assume that smoking is one of their rights which could not be bothered. Most people who do not agree with the MUI are the smokers. They have made cigarettes as a part of their lives. They reasoned that smoking could help them thinking, increase creativity, soothe the nerves, and relieve fatigue and sadness. Forbid them to smoke means breaking their privacy, and human rights.
The debate over smoking ban is hard to resolve. Many people remain in their opinion considered correct. For us as who can think certainly can determine our position on this issue. It’s been scientifically proven that smoking is harmful to our health. Based on these facts do we still think smoking is cool?

scarlet letter analysis

RESEARCH QUESTION 1. How does the society, in the setting of the story affect Hester's fate in The Scarlet Letter? 2. Mother daughter relationships psychology in scarlet letter? 3. How might we use an understanding of repression, ego and the superego? METHODS Psychoanalytic  criticism adopts the methods of "reading" employed by Freud and later theorists to interpret texts. It argues that literary texts, like dreams, express the secret unconscious desires and anxieties of the author, that a literary work is a manifestation of the author's own neuroses. One may psychoanalyze a particular character within a literary work, but it is usually assumed that all such characters are projections of the author's psyche.
