Reality Changes

Staring at the sun's growing dusk
Persue a path that has no lead
No one seems, all quiet and silent
All seemed to die, only me, myself

Lost in the endless road
Burning heat of the sun
And get lost in the dark of night
As if the sun would never smile
And slence will never change

I'll never be affraid, I'll never cry
I'll continue to run and seek
Until the sun will reveal smile
Until dusk will change
Until the silence would be solved with laughter
And until many envious eyes staring at me

And when the moment came later
When all eyes are looking at me
I looked at a distant object
Small, lack, and shabby
No one came and no one care
I stuck through it now falls
I was stunned when I see what is in front of me
The twilight indeed been changed
And sun are watching

Tulisan 26 (Softskill)

Kala ku tersadar
Membiarkan deburan ombak di pantai
Menghempaskan sunyi ini
Tertatih menjalani kehidupan
Yang seolah tak berpihak lagi
Tuhan pun seolah tiada mendengar keluh ini
Hanya dapat menanti sang senja
Dan berharap mentari
Kan merubah segalanya esok

Kini semua bagai terlahir kembali kala ku tersadar
Kini semua seolah berpihak padaku
Bagai alur cerita dalam sebuah novel
Yang membuatku kini terpana
Dunia yang dahulu bagaikan lawan
Kini menjadi sahabatku

Technology And The Influence
                The development of the information technology world so rapidly has brought tremendous benefits for the advancement of human civilization. Communication activities that previously required equipment is so complex, has been replaced by the relatively automatic machines. Likewise with the invention of the formulations have a new variety of computer capacity, was able to shift position as the ability of the human brain in a variety of disciplines and areas of human activity. Information and communication technology advances we have achieved now, really been recognized and felt provide a lot of convenience and comfort for human life.
                For the community, the development of technology is considered as the solution of existing problems. In addition, it is also believed to give humanity happiness and immortality. As we know that in the modern era like nowdays, the role of information technology in daily life must be very influential. It is not independent of our activity which is often supported by information technology itself is capable of answering the demands of the job faster, easier, cheaper and saves time.
                Advances in technology be the answer of the progress of globalization that increasingly enveloped the world. A progress which would give effect to the civilization of student life.  Many students who also act as users of information technology and communications, proving that the life they lead is never separated from the role of information technology.
                Facing these circumstances, we as students need to be directed at the attitude of "conscious technology" or "technological literacy". Progress is often interpreted as a modernization, promising the ability of humans to control nature through science, improve the material well-being through technology and improve the effectiveness of organizations through the application of skills students are based on consideration of consciousness. Because the science of information and communication technology as well, people can do things that had not been imagined.
                On the one hand, technology has advantages for those who use it. Let's say that in terms of sharing information, students can access information quickly and easily with the world, so that they may realize that the world seems to be in their grasp. An access course will enrich students with a wealth of information that can spur their motivation to improve their creativity, especially in the field of informatics.
                Not only that, the information and communication technology also has a significant role in terms of the means of learning. Because as we all know that the information and communication technology has now penetrated into the education curriculum. One thing that would be a breakthrough in the world of education in the event of an increase in potential students. In addition to the wave of progress and development in the field of educational technology has brought changes to the lives and lifestyles of students more dynamic. Given this, it keeps the students and channeling the spirit of science to explore the unknown.
                Our present life slowly began to change from the formerly industrial era turned into the era of information and communication beyond the influence of globalization and information technology that makes computers, the Internet, and the rapid development of information technology as a major part of that should be there or should not lack in education. The ability to speak a foreign language and computer literacy are two criteria that often times people are asked to enter the era of globalization in Indonesia and around the world.
                On the other hand, information and communication technology can also encourage us to look at the small things as things that can be used as a number of opportunities presented in front of the eye. Because, then we can reverse the direction of cultural imperialism brought about by developments in the information technology field, into something useful.
                In the past people used technology as a tool for making survival an easier endeavor. Nowadays we are witnessing a shift in the role technology is playing in our society and may continue to play for generations to come. In the modern-day world technology is no longer a tool for survival but it turned to a means of communication and entertainment. Mass communication technology has made it easier than ever to connect with people. At the same time this raises the concern of whether technology has a good or bad influence on our society, is the use of technology destroying face-to-face interaction and communication between people?
                Whenever you're in a coffee shop, standing at a bus stop or taking the tube you can easily see how people are connected to each other using different sorts of electronic devices. The primary concern regarding this new communication behavior is whether it made face-to-face interaction and communication between people nonexistent. This is true in many aspects as this may lead to living in a virtual world that only includes interacting with people with texting and social networks. This leads, among other things, to the ability for people to be lonely, as having too many virtual friendships causes the inability to establish meaningful relationships. The young generations in our society are participating in a massive, unintentional social experiment the results of which are not entirely predictable.
                The lack of communication affects also relationships inside one family. It is quite common in today’s society for a family to eat dinner completely separate from each - almost purposely avoiding face-to-face communications. On the other hand there might be an explanation for this phenomenon; husbands, wives, boyfriends and girlfriends no longer go entire days without speaking to each other on the phone, emailing each other, facebooking each other or texting each other.
                The paradox of the mass communication technology is that we are growing more distant from each other when we choose to make smartphones, computers, television, and the like our primary means of communicating with each other. Technology is a wonderful tool that is supposed to help humans improve their life quality but instead of that it is preventing us from continuing to be able to form meaningful relationships with each other. It is true that the long-term social effects of modern communication are still to be seen but it doesn’t seem, at least for now, like they are more beneficial than detrimental to society.

                These days, as more and more people speak about the emerging Information Society, we should think again how to prepare the society for the changes in the style of human life. No doubts that so-called Information Society has many advantages, for example in trade, production, services, communication etc. Unfortunately, it also has many potential risks that shouldn't be ignored. Some high level experts believe that improper use of technology could, in specific circumstances, cause the elimination of these advantages. From this point of view, the influence of technologies on the human mind is considered as the most hazardous factor. Increasing the use of technology instead of face to face communication could have negative influence on the human mind. It is most important to investigate this influence in the sphere of education, where the effects of these factors could be fatal. And vice versa. The appropriate use of technology could have a significant benefit for the whole society. That's why professionals in well-developed countries, which are on the edge of the Information society, start to pay more attention to these problems. But not only professionals. Even general public, media and politicians consider these matters very important. I am sure we should also pay more attention to it. In order to gain some basic orientation in this field, we will take a small excursion into some branches of science that may have certain connection to the impact of technology in education.

Rape (Incest)
Crime is a symptom of social that grow and develop in the community since ancient times until now. The development of a crime that happened through various mass media information, whether printed or electronic, or when we read crime statistics found an increase in crime rates in the community. An increase in crime rates is not only happening on an increasing number of quantity or crime, but also an increase in the mode of techniques and tactics in doing evil.
Lively preaching about the occurrence of crime and notes on criminal statistics, have not been able to deliver any type of crime happens. That is, there are still many crimes occur which are not reported or not successfully detected by mass media, the dark figure of crime (dark number of crime) so that a known crime has not shown any real number.
Besides non-conventional crime, in the development of the daily life of conventional crimes also occur, for example, crimes against property (theft, embezzlement, extortion, fraud and others), crimes against the body and the soul, such as murder, assault, and others as well as various types of crimes in the field of morality.
In general the occurrence of crimes is very detrimental to society, particularly victims of crime. One of the types of crime that happened a very adverse and troubling the public, is the criminal act of rape, more tragic again when the rape was committed within the family itself (just call it sexual violence/rape/Incest blood).
Incest is sexual relations between two people or siblings who are still related relationship blood. Act of incest is not a purely female problems, but problems that must be faced by the whole community. While the impact of incest against the victim, the victim's position, also cornered the sacrifices of being humble, shy, traumatic, even the load of suffering victims will not be gone for good, so that it does not cover possible expenses which cannot be borne out that lead to suicide victims or crazy.
Example case: for instance in Lampung, Lampung Post, presents news, (Ap 16 years) who lives in Tanggamus confessed four times, raped by Muk alias Black, aged 43 years and had four children, as the uncle of the victim. As a result the Ap still sit in 3rd grade Jnior High School, pregnant 4 months, Muk not willing to take responsibility.
Rape is a crime that is very unsettling society, once people read or hear news of rape arise anxiety, fear and concern especially for those who have a daughter, so that people attempting to avoid this criminal act. Although there have been attempts to avoid this criminal offence, but the criminal act of rape still happens in public life.
Rape often got reactions from the public, if these events occur on a girl, teen or kids, especially when it happens to blood relatives (incest). As if these events destroyed the future victim, because in general Indonesian people still glorify the value of virginity, this value is influenced by cultural and religious factors. In terms of religion, the marriage is considered to be something sacred, so that victims of rape have tarnished before entering holy matrimony. More than that, never mind do rape, even adultery is prohibited in Islam.
Incest action can be divided to several categories:
1. Incest Pedophilic practice that is done by a father who is not mature his sikoseksual or experiencing sexual difficulties. To satisfy his sexual function related to his daughter.
2. Psycopathic incest is incest behavior conducted a psychopath (psycopat) are considered most people, including her own daughter as a sexual object. Therefore, this kind of incest perpetrators almost never show a sense of guilt for his actions, even likely desperate, do not hesitate to commit rape against someone other than the occupants of the house. Such relationship exists cousin or other relatives.
3. Family incest generated. A father who passively while his wife interrupted keperibadiannya. As a result, life for them bland marriage and children subjected to sexual abuse. The children made ​​their own kind of his father's concubine.



The Causes of The Occurrence of Incest               
One of the causes of the occurrence of a crime (including blood rape) is poverty and misery, that influence the state of the human soul. Misery makes the mind become blunt. Education that is held at home and at school, holding a very important role in shaping the nature of a person. Places of worship were holy places that are able to connect and reassuring the soul between death and living creatures, therefore, lack of education, mental and spiritual or religious can be the basic cause of the occurrence of crimes of Incest. Recklessness offender committing incest is a real ignorance even more without the knowledge and belief is supported by the religious teachings owned.
People still commit crimes because knowledge of the policy is not real to him. Therefore education is carried out at home and at school plays a very important in shaping one's personality, and education are ugly or failure in school and developed in-house will result in the emergence of a crime, and added again to the state of the environment that encourages someone to do crime, including natural circumstances (geographical, and climatological), the state of the economy and the level of civility.
Environmental factors influenced sub-factor in it, which has always played an important role, namely the social and cultural conditions that created the internal and family around the dwelling (marginally), as well as new technological advances such as the effect of stimulating spectacle and habits that do not restrict male and female genitalia , because there is a thought that is very close blood relatives (family), while the old-old accidentally become a habit (addicted) to continue to perform sexual incest, because incest is considered safe enough done and seen no significant resistance, because the child obedience and devotion given to her parents, silent and reluctant to reveal his own ugliness family.
In the perspective of myth: Rape is an act of implusif and driven by uncontrollable concupiscence. The victim was raped by a stranger (no known casualties), the sick soul, which stake out of the darkness. Rape only happens among poor people and not educated. Women raped because both are inviting rape (berpakain skimpy, dress up, look garish teaser and so on). The rape happened in a high risk, such as outdoors, quiet, dark and at night; Women in disguise as it is like to be raped.
But rape was not concupiscence, does not happen instantly. It is the sexual violence and manifestations of power aimed at perpetrators over the victims. Rape is part of the planned actions. Many perpetrators of rape are known well by the victims. In fact, a lot of rape can happen to anyone, no matter the gorgeous or not, all ages, all social classes. Rape has nothing to do with the appearance of a person. Rape can occur in children under age and also on the aged. Almost half of the number of rapes occurred in the home of the victim, disiang day. Rape victims never feel pleased and hoped no rape. Trauma because the rape is hardly gone from life.
Observing what is described above it can be seen rape occasionally occur solely sourced from the actors themselves, which is driven by uncontrollable lust, but sometimes also influenced by the appearance of the victim offender raises passions. From the point of the victim, rape does not only happen in adults, The children are victims of crime than the perpetrators of rape rape by officials as well as the unemployed, people who have not known or sometimes people who are very close relationship with the victim, even though incest
The Kind of Rape
Rape can occur in many different types; types of rape by Steven Box, as quoted Made Darma Vedas namely:
"Sadistic rape" is rape is sadistic. The actors get sexual satisfaction not for intercourse, but because the act of violence against "ganitalia" and the body of the victim.

"Seduction turned into rape" rape is characterized by the relationship between the perpetrator and the victim. Rarely used physical violence and there is no intent to embarrass. The target is the satisfaction of the perpetrator and the victim blamed herself for his equivocal.
"Exploitation rape" is a rape in which the woman is very dependent on the perpetrator of both social and economic. Often occur where the wife was forced by her husband. Even if there is agreement not due to any sexual desires of the wife, but often for the sake of domestic peace.

Listen to different types of music is also good to train our sentiment, though the kind of music it is less according to your taste and personality, but try to enjoy it because who knows we'll be able to find the beauty that is before we get out of the music.

DEMOKRASI DAN PELAKSANAAN DEMOKRASI DI INDONESIA BESERTA CONTOHNYA

Demokrasi
     Demokrasi adalah bentuk atau mekanisme sistem pemerintahan suatu negara sebagai upaya mewujudkan kedaulatan rakyat (kekuasaan warganegara) atas negara untuk dijalankan oleh pemerintah negara tersebut. Pada intinya, yang banyaklah yang menang dan yang banyak dianggap sebagai suatu kebenaran. Salah satu pilar demokrasi adalah prinsip trias politica yang membagi ketiga kekuasaan politik negara (eksekutif, yudikatif dan legislatif) untuk diwujudkan dalam tiga jenis lembaga negara yang saling lepas (independen) dan berada dalam peringkat yg sejajar satu sama lain. Kesejajaran dan independensi ketiga jenis lembaga negara ini diperlukan agar ketiga lembaga negara ini bisa saling mengawasi dan saling mengontrol berdasarkan prinsip checks and balances.

     Ketiga jenis lembaga-lembaga negara tersebut adalah lembaga-lembaga pemerintah yang memiliki kewenangan untuk mewujudkan dan melaksanakan kewenangan eksekutif, lembaga-lembaga pengadilan yang berwenang menyelenggarakan kekuasaan judikatif dan lembaga-lembaga perwakilan rakyat (DPR, untuk Indonesia) yang memiliki kewenangan menjalankan kekuasaan legislatif. Di bawah sistem ini, keputusan legislatif dibuat oleh masyarakat atau oleh wakil yang wajib bekerja dan bertindak sesuai aspirasi masyarakat yang diwakilinya (konstituen) dan yang memilihnya melalui proses pemilihan umum legislatif, selain sesuai hukum dan peraturan.

Demokrasi di Indonesia
     Semenjak kemerdekaan 17 agustus 1945, UUD 1945 memberikan penggambaran bahwa Indonesia adalah negara demokrasi.Dalam mekanisme kepemimpinannya Presiden harus bertanggung jawab kepada MPR dimana MPR adalah sebuah badan yang dipilih dari Rakyat. Sehingga secara hirarki seharusnya rakyat adalah pemegang kepemimpinan negara melalui mekanisme perwakilan yang dipilih dalam pemilu. Indonesia sempat mengalami masa demokrasi singkat pada tahun 1956 ketika untuk pertama kalinya diselenggarakan pemilu bebas di indonesia, sampai kemudian Presiden Soekarno menyatakan demokrasi terpimpin sebagai pilihan sistem pemerintahan. Setelah mengalami masa Demokrasi Pancasila, sebuah demokrasi semu yang diciptakan untuk melanggengkan kekuasaan Soeharto, Indonesia kembali masuk kedalam alam demokrasi pada tahun 1998 ketika pemerintahan junta militer Soeharto tumbang. Pemilu demokratis kedua bagi Indonesia terselenggara pada tahun 1999 yang menempatkan PDI-P sebagai pemenang Pemilu.
Pelaksanaan Demokrasi di Indonesia Beserta Contohnya
     Bisa dikatakan bahwa Indonesia sangat berpotensi menjadi kiblat demokrasi di kawasan Asia, berkat keberhasilan mengembangkan dan melaksanakan sistem demokrasi. Menurut Ketua Asosiasi Konsultan Politik Asia Pasifik (APAPC), Pri Sulisto, keberhasilan Indonesia dalam bidang demokrasi bisa menjadi contoh bagi negara-negara di kawasan Asia yang hingga saat ini beberapa di antaranya masih diperintah dengan ‘tangan besi’. Indonesia juga bisa menjadi contoh, bahwa pembangunan sistem demokrasi dapat berjalan seiring dengan upaya pembangunan ekonomi. Ia menilai, keberhasilan Indonesia dalam bidang demokrasi yang tidak banyak disadari itu, membuat pihak luar termasuk Asosiasi Internasional Konsultan Politik (IAPC), membuka mata bangsa Indonesia, bahwa keberhasilan tersebut merupakan sebuah prestasi yang luar biasa. Prestasi tersebut juga menjadikan Indonesia sangat berpotensi mengantar datangnya suatu era baru di Asia yang demokratis dan makmur.
       Dalam kesempatan yang sama, Presiden Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono yang akrab disapa SBY menerima anugerah medali demokrasi. SBY pun memaparkan panjang lebar perjalanan demokrasi Indonesia. Menurutnya, demokrasi Indonesia merupakan jawaban terhadap skeptisme perjalanan demokrasi di negeri ini. Beliau pun mencontohkan beberapa nada skeptis yang ditujukan kepada Indonesia. Pertama, demokrasi akan membawa situasi kacau dan perpecahan. Demokrasi di Indonesia hanyalah perubahan rezim, demokrasi akan memicu ekstrimisme dan radikalisme politik di Indonesia.
       Beliau pun menambahkan bahwa demokrasi di Indonesia menunjukkan Islam dan moderitas dapat berjalan bersama. Dan terlepas dari goncangan hebat akibat pergantian 4 kali presiden selama periode 1998-2002, demokrasi Indonesia telah menciptakan stabilitas politik dan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang tinggi. Selain itu, Indonesia juga telah berhasil menjadi sebuah negara demokrasi terbesar di dunia dan melaksanakan pemilu yang kompleks dengan sangat sukses.
     Meski pada awalnya banyak yang meragukan pelaksanaan demokrasi di Indonesia, kenyataannya demokrasi di Indonesia saat ini telah berusia 10 tahun dan akan terus berkembang. Sebagian orang pernah berpendapat bahwa demokrasi tidak akan berlangsung lama di Indonesia, karena masyarakatnya belum siap. Mereka juga pernah mengatakan bahwa negara Indonesia terlalu besar dan memiliki persoalan yang kompleks. Keraguan tersebut bahkan menyerupai kekhawatiran yang dapat membuat Indonesia chaos yang dapat mengakibatkan perpecahan.
      Sementara itu, mantan wakil perdana menteri Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim, yang turut hadir menyebutkan bahwa demokrasi telah berjalan baik di Indonesia dan hal itu telah menjadikan Indonesia sebagai negara dengan populasi 4 besar dunia yang berhasil melaksanakan demokrasi. Hal ini juga membuat Indonesia sebagai negara berpenduduk Islam terbesar di dunia yang telah berhasil menerapkan demokrasi. Dia juga berharap agar perkembangan ekonomi juga makin meyakinkan sehingga demokrasi bisa disandingkan dengan kesuksesan pembangunan. Hal tersebut tentunya bisa terjadi bila demokrasi dapat mencegah korupsi dan penumpukan kekayaan hanya pada elit tertentu.
     Demokrasi, menurut Anwar Ibrahim, adalah pemberian kebebasan kepada warga negara, sedangkan kegagalan atau keberhasilan ekonomi menyangkut sistem yang diterapkan.

Sifat-sifat Bahasa

Bahasa bersifat manusiawi, artinya bahasa menjadi berfungsi selama manusia yang memanfaatkannya, bukan makhluk lain. Ada binatang tertentu yang dapat berbahasa seperti manusia, misalnya burung beo. Namun bnatang tesebut hanya dapat mengucapkan kosa kata tertentu dan kosa katanya tidak dapat berkembang.

Bahasa bersifat arbitrer, artinya unsur suatu bahasa yang dipilih secara acak tanpa dasar yang pasti oleh masyarakat pemakai bahasa. Maksud dari pernyataan tersebut adalah tidak ada hubungan yang logis antara bunyi bahasa dengan makna yang disimbolkannya. Misalnya, kenapa bunyi kursi mengarah kepada makna tempat untuk duduk, bukan mengarah pada makna lain alat untuk menulis, dsb. Hubungan antara bunyi bahasa dan maknanya tersebut tergantung pada masyarakat pemakai bahasa yang bersangkutan.

Bahasa dipelajari maksudnya adalah manusia ketika dilahirkan tidak langsung mampu berbicara. Anak harus belajar berbahasa melalui lingkungannya, seperti orang tua.

Bahasa bersifat sistem artinya bahasa memiliki seperangkat aturan. Perangkat inilah yang menentukan struktur (grammar) apa yang diucapkan.


Bahasa itu symbol artinya kita dapat menggunakan symbol-simbol untuk berkomunikasi sesama manusia sama-sama memiliki perasaan, gagasan, dan keinginan. Dengan demikian, manusia menerjemahkan orang lain atas acuan pada pengalaman diri sendiri. Misalnya, ketika orang lain mengatakan “saya haus”. Pernyataa tersebut dapat dipahami karena kita pernah mengalami peristiwa haus.

Kebudayaan Pusat dan Kebudayaan Pinggiran

1 . Kebudayaan Pusat
Kebudayaan pusat adalah suatu kebudayaan yang menjadi rujukan dan kiblat bagi mayoritas etnis. Kebudayaan pusat memiliki pengaruh kuat terhadap kebudayaan masyarakat Biasanya, kebudayaan pusat berada dan menjadi satu dengan pusat kekuasaan. Pada zaman dahulu, kekuasaan di Indonesia berbentuk kerajaan sehingga kebudayaan pusat terletak di pusat kerajaan. Misalnya, pusat kebudayaan Jawa terdapat di Keraton Jawa Majapahit, Demak, Pajang, Mataram, Surakarta, dan Yogyakarta). Pusat kebudayaan Cirebon ada di Keraton Cirebon (Keraton Kasepuhan, Keraton Kanoman, dan Keraton Kacirebonan). Jadi, kebudayaan pusat yang dimiliki oleh masyarakat Jawa terletak di Keraton Jawa, sedangkan kebudayaan pusat yang dimiliki oleh masyarakat Cirebon berada di Keraton Cirebon. Keraton adalah istana tempat tinggal raja atau ratu sehingga keraton dianggap sebagai pusat kerajaan.

2. Kebudayaan Pinggiran.

Kebudayaan pinggiran berarti kebudayaan tersebut berada jauh dari pusat kekuasaan. Kebudayaan pinggiran hidup di tengah-tengah rakyat jelata. Pengaruh kebudayaan pinggiran terhadap masyarakat relatif lebih sempit dan bersifat lokal. Kebudayaan pinggiran beraneka macam karena tiap-tiap daerah memiliki ciri khas kebudayaan masing-masing. Contoh wujud kebudayaan dalam bentuk bahasa adalah bahasa Jawa Banyumasan (ngapak-ngapak) yang memiliki perbedaan dengan bahasa Jawa di Surakarta dan Yogyakarta. Begitu juga dengan bahasa Jawa di Surabaya dan Tegal. Ciri-ciri bahasa Jawa di kedua tempat itu memiliki perbedaan. Contoh kesenian dalam kebudayaan pinggiran, misalnya tari jaran kepang, tayub, kuda lumping, sintren, jathilan, reog, dan ludruk. Kebudayaan tersebut hidup dan berkembang di kalangan rakyat jelata dan tidak pernah dipentaskan di pusat kebudayaan (keraton).

·         Contextual style is one that focuses on the speaker and relationship of the parties

The text above explain about verbal communication styles especially in contextual and personal styles.
Contextual style and personal style are equally focused on the speaker. But there are also differences
between the contextual style and personal style. Contextual style also focuses more on the relationship
between the communicator with the communicant. So shall also consider such as what communicators

should avoid words that bought the bush to be understood by the communicant course. So that
communication can proceed smoothly.

Contextual style associated with high-power distance, it certainly could have been barriers often occur,
especially from the media of communication. Contextual style is also related to the culture, and

them not to misunderstand primarily from the language factor. In the contextual style is likely that many
barriers in the communication process happens.

communication, the communicator with the communicant using language that could be called
