REFLECTION TOPIC 8

Topic 8 is the last topic in the chapter which is discussed about an article ‘Drugs or Guns’. The interesting part in this article whenever the publics argue the government decision that they choose to buy weapon rather than the citizens’ health. The writer also looks like not agree with the government because in the last paragraph he mentioned that the real war for the country is to against the AIDS. However, the government has its own reason through this matter because they believe that the first thing that they need to do is the country be in safe position. This is because of the country have the unstable political system.

Next, the thing that makes me to think is that why the government not over comes both problems? In order to protect the country externally, at the same time they could put the trust to their people to handle the internal problem which is the AIDS and HIV matter by helping the AIDS activist that willing to help those people who need them. This group I think just need some budget for them to do their job to over come the problem for short or long term.

Eventhough, the approach that I could comment in this article is the government and the public should have a connection in order to maintain the political system of the country. The government also should give the positive impression the citizens so that they could trust on their leader ability to conduct and control the country. Indeed, it is not an easy thing make all people satisfied but as the body that have the authority, deep observation should be done so that the problem could be over come in nicely way.
