PART A

As in Malaysia, the numbers of people who suffer from the obesity problem keep increasing. It been showed by the survey reports from World Health Organization (WHO) that published on weightlossmalaysia.com (2012). As in this survey report, it was show that Malaysia has become the six highest adult obesity rate among the countries in Asia contingency. As been expressed by Robinson, T., Borzekowski, D., Matheson, D. and Kraemer, H. (2007), eat habit is one of the most important factor that cause the obesity problem among the people in Malaysia. He also explained that most of the people in Malaysia like to take junk food in their daily. Therefore, it is not surprise at all why more people in Malaysia are face the obesity problem.

As we know, most of the people in Malaysia like to consume junk foods like potato chips, chocolate chips and biscuit, Keropok, and fries, burger and so on. These junk foods are oily and easy cause the obesity problem among the people in Malaysia. Apart of that, Robinson, T., Borzekowski, D., Matheson, D. and Kraemer, H. (2007) also explained that frequently consume these kinds of junk foods will easily cause various kind of psychological as well as social problems among the people in Malaysia. The psychological, health and social problems will be discussed in this section.

According to the explanation that given by Li, C., Engstrom, G., Hedblad, B., Calling, S., Berglund, G. and Janzon, L. (2006), heart failure, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, stroke are among the most common sickness and illness that caused by consumption of junk food in daily life. Obviously, the junk food will be prepared by using the deep fried method. After the junk food fried in the oil, the fatty elements from the oil will stick on the junk food. These fatty elements will later absorbed into the blood vessel after consume by people. Then, it will cause the blockage of blood vessel and cause sickness like stroke or heart attack. These are the fatal sickness for the human. On the other hand, Niemeier, H., Raynor, H., LloydRichardson, E., Rogers, M. and Wing, R. (2006) also explained that lots of synthetic preservative and addictives been add on into the junk food. These addictives are including Benzoic Acid and Monosodium Glutamate. Those people who over consume these synthetic preservative and addictives will possible face the respiratory related health problem.

On the other hand, the research that done by Robinson, T., Borzekowski, D., Matheson, D. and Kraemer, H. (2007) also proved that consumption of junk food will potentially cause various kinds of psychological problem. First at all, he explained that the artificial food colors as well as other types of add on addictives that been used to produce the junk food will make the children become more hyperactive than before. At the mean time, the studies that carried out Manski, C. F. (1993) also showed that people who like to take the junk food are obviously easily facing the moody and depression problems. In other words, consumption of junk food may worsen a persons mood. Manski, C. F. (1993) further explained that it is because the Trans Fat that consists in the junk food can easily affect the brains neurotransmitters. Robinson, T., Borzekowski, D., Matheson, D. and Kraemer, H. (2007) also explained that those people who like to consume the junk food will potentially facing mental disorder problems like Alzheimer as well as depression.

At the mean time, the studies and researches that carried out by Li, C., Engstrom, G., Hedblad, B., Calling, S., Berglund, G. and Janzon, L. (2006) also proved that the social problem among the people in the society also related to the consumption of junk food in the daily life. It is because those people who like to take the junk food will easily get fat or gain weight. Therefore, they will start to lost their confident especially in socialize with other people. They will think that they are ugly and fat. It makes them not dare to communicate with other people in the society. Later, they slowly will be abandoned from the society. It prove that the consumption of the junk food will cause the social problems among the people in Malaysia.

As a conclusion, we should stop from consume the junk food in daily life as it causes various kinds of social, psychological and healthy problems to the people. The early education is very much important to shape the minds of children so that avoid from taken too many junk food in the daily life.

The Sources that Caused the Heat in Greenhouse Effects

According to the explanation from Solomon, S.; Qin, D.; Manning, M.; Chen, Z.; Marquis, M.; Averyt, K.B.; Tignor, M.; and Miller, H.L., ed. (2007), the rapid development and urbanization activities are among the most important factors that cause the greenhouse effects in this world. This global issue can be serious and affect all living thing in this world. Generally, the greenhouse effects caused by the heat energy from sun. Earths natural greenhouse effect makes life as we know it possible. However, human activities, primarily the burning of fossil fuels and clearing of forests, have intensified the natural greenhouse effect, causing global warming. However, not all the heat energy from sun will reach us. It is because a partial of the heat energy will be reflected off by the atmosphere or ozone. The other partial of the heat energy from sun will be radiated into the space. Therefore, only third portion of the heat energy from sun will reach to us. The ultraviolet (UV) in the heat energy from sun will be harmful for our skins. There will be more heat energy from sun reach directly to us due to the urbanization and development activities that carried out by human being in this world.

First at all, the urbanization and logging activities cause more trees are cut down. Unquestionable, the lucrative incomes cause more peoples involve in timber and logging activities. However, most of the companies will cut down the tree without properly planning or replanting. Therefore, it cause the numbers of trees that consists in one area become less. It will cause less Carbon Dioxide been absorbed by the green plants. Obviously, the production in the industries and increment of vehicles on the roads cause more Carbon Dioxide been released in the air. This Carbon Dioxide will later combine with the Oxygen molecule in the ozone. This will directly cause the ozone layer in the atmosphere become thinner. Once there are no more tree help in absorb the carbon dioxide, there will be more carbon dioxide molecule combine with the oxygen molecule in the ozone. Therefore, it causes the ozone layer become even thinner. Thus, the heat energy from sun will not be reflected in the atmosphere and it causing more portion of the heat energy from sun reaches to us. Therefore, it will cause various kinds of negative impacts like milting of ice block in south and north Atlantic, greenhouse effects, increment of world temperature and so on. Due to that, it can be a disaster to the human being in this world as the ecosystem will be affected.

As a conclusion, the problem of greenhouse effect become worsens for last few years. Generally, it caused by the rapid development and urbanization activities that happened globally. Therefore, we should plan and involve more in the environmental friendly such as recycling, replanting program, and green loving program. These are the important activities and efforts that we must enhance in order to protect our earth from destroyed by the greenhouse effects.
