Contoh teks analytical exposition: Bullying

The following text is for questions 1 and 2.

Bullying is the use of force or coercion to abuse or intimidate others. The behavior can be habitual and involve an imbalance of social or physical power. It can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and may be directed repeatedly towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a "target". Bullying can occur in any context in which human beings interact with each other. This includes school, church, family, the workplace, home, and neighborhoods. Bullying is absolutely wrong for several reasons. First, nobody wants to get bullied. Imagine if you or your family member is one who is being bullied. What do you think will happen to him/her? Nobody wants to live his/her life like a frightened rabbit, right? Second, the victims can take revenge by telling their parents, teachers, or even your principal about what you have done to them, and surely, you will be in very, very big trouble. Finally, bullying can result in very serious consequences. Maybe it is done for fun, but the victims can consider it as a deeply traumatic experience that can lead to depression or even suicide. When that happens, surely you will forever be regretful. From the facts above, it is clear that bullying is wrong, and it only brings negative impacts.
