Sicko is a documentary film that tells how bad service from health insurance in America. This film tells how the American citizens who are sick and cannot claim their insurance policy. This film compared United States with other countries, such as Canada and India. In Canada healthcare is free. If we sick, we just go to the hospital and we will get free treatment. In India is also free for the health care, even the patient will get refund for their transportation cost. U.S health insurance companies were becoming a business that corrupt and taking away their client assets. They add lots of term and conditions to meet or to claim the polish. If they got sick, they will just drink medicine or they heal by themselves. I saw in the movie that health was very important for the people in Canada and India hospital, but not in U.S. hospital.

Sicko
SICKO is a documentary movie that shows how health care systems in United States compared to any other countries such as France, Canada, England. In my opinion, a health care systems in United States still have more powerless compared to Canada and England. In US, people can’t have an emergency handling if someone got a serious problem without in any advance. For instance, person who got their finger’s cut, the hospital will charge them in a high price such as 16.000 dollars per each. That is impossible for people who can’t pay for that. Then, Michael Moore came for solve this problem. He change all over the structural in health care systems, and even they got pay back for person who use public transportation to go for the hospital. That is a brilliant idea and solution in my opinion. Not only that kind of solution, but also he makes an own hospital for the old people using his own money by credit from the bank. In overall, Michael Moore is one of the heroes in healthy life for all person in United States. He just go beyond the problem for finding an excellent solution.

I am astonished and force me to smile grimly. It is amazing that it happens in such a big and rich country like the USA. The health care system is based on the higher the payment the better health care is provided. Those who cannot afford to pay health insurance can not have the service with ridiculous reasons while it is supposed to be the rights for all citizens. Therefore, it says that citizens who have no money, better not be sick as health care is for those who have money. Michael Moore shows the USA health care system is so deceptive and he points out that there are people who determines what sort of people deserve to have health service since the people of the insurance company are business oriented rather than helpful and considerate. He also compares the USA system with those in other countries such as Canada, the UK and France.
If this film is categorized as documentary, it would be appropriate if the director, Michael Moore presents the situation on both sides. However, he does not do it, so this film is a joke. Sicko is witty but also pitiful.
Sex For Sale
Hardship due to economic pressure has made people take any kinds of ways to earn money to survive. One of the ways is selling sex. Sex for money is called prostitution which has existed for a very long time and it cannot be vanished. Not only women who do it but also men which is called gigolo who provide services for both men and women. Wherever we are, in rich or poor countries, big cities or small cities, there is sex for sale. People who do this kind of activity are those lack of education, unskillful and lazy, they are not willing to do manual labour or to work hard, they just want to get easy money. They do know it is against moral/ethic and law and a;so the risks of doing such activity. They can be arrested or infected by diseases, but they have no choice. Both users and sellers are against moral and are vulnerable of diseases such as syphilis, herpes or even the deadly HIV. However, anyone can be contaminated by these diseases not only by prostitutes, but also by sex for free such as one night stand. You never can tell. Actually, I do not mind sex for sale as there are always demand and supply and as long as this activity does not disturb the society and do it safely. Besides, the society can only scorn them, but do not give the solution. As prostitution cannot be vanished, it would be better if the government legalize and localize it. So that the spread of diseases can be at least minimized by having them have regular medical check up and vocational training for their future when they are “retired”. In addition, it can create job opportunities such as selling food, laundry, room service and other services and also revenue for the government. Furthermore, there will not be any more illegal street hookers that can spread funeral diseases and disturb the society.
sex for sale
Prostitution are scattered throughout the world. This problem has made people arguing about the decision of this issue. Sex for sale is an expression where woman gave her body to people for money, in other words, woman agreed to have sex with someone, however she must be paid with a prices that she wished for. From this prostitution, woman can earn a large number of money and in a faster way. Demand of prostitutes will always exist. It’s about sex that we’re talking about, most women in this world loves to have sex with their boyfriend or husband, and it’s all not related to education problems in the terms of their relationship.
SICKO
Michael Moore is a director of a movie named Sicko. Sicko launched in US on June 2007 and grab a huge money from it. Sicko tells about how insurance service people in US, Canada, France and Cuba. There so much difference between the service in US and Canada. in US , a treatment for the patient is really expensive. usually, Insurance company in US do not want to fund the patient if they had a serious health problem, they used to rejected the request from the patient. On the other hand, in Canada, every health activity is free. People in Canada do not have to worry about they health fee because the government will pay it for them. The government also pay back the transport money of the patient if they use the public transportation to go to hospital.

Sicko
Sicko is a documentary film about health insurance in some countries, especially in United States. Almost fifty million american people live without health insurance because of the cost is too expensive. Although they have it, it will not give any guarantee. A few people people in United State said that they were rejected by their health insurance with an obscure reason. Compared with UK and Canada, they are provide better services than US. Health insurance is free in both countries, they even provide transportation service without charging a fee. This film is a lesson for United state to improve their health division as one of developed country.
Sicko
The movie was directed and written by Michael Moore. This is a documentary film about American citizens who have rejection experience by insurance companies. Nearly 50 million U.S. residents live without life insurance. Every time they prayed for safety and nothing happens to them. Because the cost of health care in America is very expensive. Many of them have filed insurance but were rejected with unreasonable reasons. For example because of that people is too fat or too thin. For those American citizens who have the life insurance is no guarantee they will be free from health costs. Many of those who fell ill and had submitted a letter of medical costs to be replaced, rejected by insurance companies. The insurance companies in America, they only think to continue to add their company income. There's someone in the company are responsible for finding ways to reject the request reimbursement for the health of customers at departure. There is a recognition by a doctor who formerly worked at one of the insurance company in U.S, if they managed to make a rejection, then the company will give the doctor some extra money. Compared with the UK and Canada,the way they handle the health problems is very good.In England and Canada,all of the health cost is free. Surgery, maternity, hospitalization all free. Even the transportation fees to the hospital, will be replaced by the hospitals. This shows that the big and powerful country as the U.S. still has problems in the health sector.

SICKO (film summary)
This film is directed and written by Michael Moore. Sicko is a documentary film that retells stories about health insurance In America. Many people suffer because of this health insurance. In addition this film is about an interview, and collection of short movie about the victim of the health insurance. However, these films also give us a big picture about American system, and also make a comparison between another countries such as Canada and England. American is develop and strong countries, they give free education, but really expensive in health. In contrast Canada and England, they also give free education the different is Canada and England give free heath insurance to all people needed, even the transport to go to the hospital. I personally think that this film is really good, because from this we can know that how bad the health insurance system in American, how people survive, and how people disappointed about the service.

Comment : SICKO

Sex for Sale
When it is a topic about the right of “Sex for Sale”, there are pros and cons about that statement. But I’m totally agreed with it. The reason is because sex for sale or prostitution is somehow a good way to improve the economic. Well, the reason is difference from one people from the other. Most of the reasons come out is because of the economic condition of the ‘prostitute’. It’s also not our concern how they live their life. Because it’s their own life, they can choose whatever they want to be as long as not disturbs other people. We can’t blamed the government for this, because most of the ‘prostitute’ still doing it even though they know the risk. We should find the reason why it can be happened instead of blaming each other finding the scapegoat for these issues. Beside that, the government duty now is not banned the prostitution. Instead, they should make it legal by organizing and giving the rules about it. By organizing the prostitution we can reduce the spread of disease, the underage prostitution, the place, and also the income in example of the tax. The needs of sex will not disappear from this world, so organizing is much better than banned it.
Pros and cons About Arranged Marriage
People long time ago believed that arranged marriage can make their happy because the parents know all the best for their child. However, is this really what happens? Usually parents think they know all the best for their child, but in reality, they even don’t consider about their child feeling. Marriage can’t be done just because it has already arranged before. The important thing such as love is needed between the couple before they get marriage. It’s important to know each other well before they take a step into a marriage.
Next, arranged marriage can’t guarantee that the marriage can be last long and forever. Many marriage happened to be failed, because they are not suitable each other anymore. This can also cause by the ignorance of the marriage itself. Just because our parents told us to get marriage, doesn’t mean that we get marriage. We should realize the important of the marriage itself. It’s not a lover, that if we don’t like it anymore we can break up.
Moreover, the arranged marriage can be mislead someone just because their parent interest. There are many case in arranged marriage, that the parents sold their child because their own debt or other own interest. This should not be done; the arranged marriage is use for other way of crime. The victims, in this case the daughter, usually become traumatic in having their marriage life. In USA, there is a regulation that this kind of criminal of arranged marriage can get into jail.
In conclusion, the arranged marriage should not be done. There are many negative reasons why the arranged marriage should not be done. But I think the most important one is about love. Well, it’s depending on the people itself. Rather they want to marriage by choose their own partner or still want to be arranged by their parent.

Prostitution
Prostitution
I, as a woman, disagree with sex is for sale. Even though that our situation is very difficult and in a depressing economy, selling our body is a very painful thing to do. Many women think that prostitution can get them out of difficult economic condition easily, but that is a wrong idea. It would be dangerous if they think that prostitution is an easy way out, especially for underage girl. Prostitution could lead to various sexual l transmission diseases such as syphilis, genital herpes, AIDS, etc. Moreover, prostitution can destroy their future and destroy their morale. They need to get education properly to love their own body, to understand how precious a woman can be, and how they treat themselves. There are a lot of jobs that can produce money other than selling themselves, though it is not easy and not giving high income. At least, they still have a future to be a better person than falling into the pit of prostitution. In brief, prostitution only indicates our poor morale and our education. Prostitution will increase the problem rather than reducing it.
Prostitution
Moreover, the prostitution is illegal because they do sexual relationship with other people who are not their husband or wife according to law. In addition, many underage children and people with low economic conditions are forced to be a prostitute; even they are trafficked to other countries. Besides, prostitution can also cause another crime such as drug dealing which is also illegal. Every government of the countries in this world should take legal action and prohibit prostitution. The prostitution escort should be arrested and got punishment according to law, whereas, the prostitutes should be rehabbed and got appropriate counseling.
Furthermore, there is also an opinion that prostitution should be legalized, but I also disagree with this statement because it only provide negative effect for the society and there is no good benefit can be earned from prostitution.

Prostitution-sex for sale
Sex for sale
nowadays, many teenagers who under 18 years old have been prostituted. they have been walking around in the midnight to get more money instantly and waited for the rich man who called them. In Indonesia, i still considered it as an illegal things but it has not been implemented in a whole area in Indonesia. In my opinion, i really agree with the statement that mention " if someone wants to accept my money to have sex with me, what is the problem?". Because, if men want to have a sex with the girl and they have their own money, it has no problem with that. And the men should know what is the bad effect for their body such as disease, sins, and reputation , etc. And for the girl, perhaps the only reason why they are doing that kind of things is to fulfill their needs and wants. normally, the girls who are doing that kind of things is bad girl with do not have a good education, and poor. Sometimes, beautiful girl has also being prostituted.
Sex For Sale
Nowadays, there are many illegal things in our country. One of the most popular illegal things is Sex for Sale or Prostitution. Some people are agree and some are disagree. For me, myself, I strongly disagree with prostitution. There are some factors that support my opinion. Firstly, based on the law in our country said that prostitution is illegal and against the religion things. Secondly, it is because you should think about your future or your family. Will your wife accept that you had tried the prostitution? How about your children? How about the health? If we talk about prostitution, we can not avoid from HIV/AIDS thing and abortion. You can get HIV/AIDS because of the prostitution. It also can increase the abortion level in our country. If you are doing abortion, it means you are a killer. Thirdly, it is about human rights. The girls who are doing the prostitution maybe because of some reasons, such as need money, and they have no choice to get the money. However, we should think about their future. How if they are underage? How if the get pregnant? Who will take responsibility for the baby and her? Some of they maybe do not want to do that things. In conclusion, as a good citizen, especially as a woman, I strongly disagree with prostitution. We should ban and clean up our country from prostitution to keep the morals of our country and we as a woman especially.
Sex for Sale
Sex for sale, could be said as prostitution. Prostitution is a forbidden job that has to be cleaned. In this case, the foolish object is women. They don't think wisely before take a decision for life. They thinks that being a prostitute could solve every problem they have, because they could get big amount of input rather than having another work to save their family or life. They might be didn't know what would be their consequences by doing prostitution, especially for themselves. First, for the women under age, they wouldn't get any enough education for them to live their life in the future, especially when they don't have any customer in the day later. This could be a question mark for them that how they going to survive the rest of their life later on. Moreover, they could get disease as such HIV or AIDS, which could affect their "work" and life virus. If citizen thinks that government should legalize the prostitution, then government have to do it strictly, by giving the rule to have only some place for prostitution, because people, especially Indonesian have short way of thinking, which could let them start a new prostitution area with reason that "the government has supported it, then why we couldn't open a new area?!”. If that happen, then the rule hat has been launched by the government wouldn't have any value. In addition, a girl's virginity would be a "playing things" for those who doesn't have heart and for the "itchy" girl, without any opportunity for them to repentance. By this, I disagree with the statement that "sex for sale".
prostitution
Sex For Sale
Sex for sale’ I am totally disagree with that statement. Sex should be for love, not for money or for anything else. Don’t sell your body because of economical reasons. A woman can do another job to get money to fulfill their needs. For example, a woman can be a maid. And that job is better than doing a prostitution. Even though prostitution is difficult to be eradicated , but government should begin the action. If government think that prostitution can increase the income , that is a big mistake. Don’t always think about money , there are many factor that related with prostitution. Such as moral , human right , religion , etc . Our country are based on law and religion . Every religion proscribe prostitution. So , stop prostitution start now . The man should please a woman , and the woman also should please their self.
Paraphrase
Even though people start to divide between ethical and legal issues but that is not suitable to all people, like the business manager who is not trained as a lawyer. They trained to make some decision and at the end they are someone who has the responsibility. There are an idea that legal and ethical issues are independent, and the good executive should realized also has base instinct to differentiate between legal and ethical issues .Moreover, many borderline that will influence the result in civil litigation .In fact ,civil complaints and litigation are the best way to resolve ethical problem between two side.
