Hello guys,
Sorry for not being so active… Anyways, I have had some feedback that my blog was too onto 1 topic or at least one genre. So from this post onwards, I will include more of world issues or some hot topics.
World cup season!!! Everyone is staying up all night watching live soccer matches, everywhere is just full or the soccer fever. Shops have started selling soccer-related items, games have also included soccer, even schools have been affected by this soccer craze. Hence this is my argument: should students stay up till 4-5 o’clock just to watch these games?
People have said, “Tonight is a must watch, because it is LIVE and it is my favourite team competing.” This is the problem: Is it really necessary to watch it live? Watching on youtube a few hours later is also a possible way to know the match, not only that, watching the telecast a few days later can also let you still watch the match. After said this people still tell me, “But I want to know the results fast.” To these people, I have only one word, “Newspaper”. Newspapers did not have a section for sports just for the sake of it. Not only do they tell you the latest news on the world cup, also they give you some people’s comments about it and “Paul’s” predictions etc.
To students staying late up at night to watch the world cup, a disadvantage is that they have a lack of sleep. As we know, students are supposed to receive 7-8 hours of beauty sleep while adults are able to receive less. Therefore, students should not stay up to watch and instead maybe record the match. If students do not have enough sleep, they would find it difficult to pay attention during classes and worst still, oversleep and be late for school. This is totally absurd when it is a weekday the next day! Adults too have to go to work in the morning and there is no way to watch a LIVE match and be totally energetic the next day.
This leads me to my next argument: Students not having enough sleep.
Students tend to stay up late either to revise their work or to play computer games, worst still, world cup. They have this thought: At night, I have all the time in the world as I can sleep whenever I need to. When I wake up, I feel the same as any other day. This may feel alright on the outside, however, research have told us that we would not be able to take in as much information as before, in addition, the person’s character will change slightly, thus the person would be easily irritated or frustrated.
However, this is not the main focus of the second argument. Students “SMS-ing” at night until early the next morning. The situation is that students tend to not sleep as they are waiting for the other party’s reply, hence having the mentality: What if my friend replies and I am asleep, that would reflect badly on myself. As this goes on, the student would suffer a loss of sleep.
Hence to solve the above problems, I propose that during bedtime, parents could impose the child to put his or her phone away from them. This would ensure that the student would not stay up late to SMS. If this is not possible, the parent could closely monitor until the point when they feel it has gone far enough, they could just confiscate the phone or buy a new sim card, keeping the old one. This would prevent friends from SMS-ing the student.
As for the world cup issue, well… Just watch the telecast in the future!!!
