Youth: The Figure that Must Do Alterations

       Nowdays, in the middle of globalization era, the role of youths is very needed in altering their nation becomes better than before. Altering the nation becomes better so that can compete with other nations in the world is the significant role of the youths. It is not only the role of youths but also it has been the responsbility of each youths that living in a nation. Surely, every single country has youths. But the biggest question here is, have they given any alteration for their nation? If yes, what kind of alteration is that? Did the alteration bring and give a good impact for the future of the nation it self? Its really ironic if there are no youths that do alteration for their country or nation. I cant imagine what will happen to the nation if only there are no youth that give and bring an alteration. Its so impossible a nation or country asks a help of old people to do an alteration toward the nation. Surely, their energy has already faded away and it is not as same as in the past when they were young. It should be replaced by the youths.

      The true definition, youth is a figure that must do alteration. Any kind of alteration which is carying out a nation to be bright now and in the future. The alteration must bring good impact for the sectors of country like education, economic, etc. Here, everyone that including youths can do an alteration in the sector of science probably or others.

       Doing alteration doesnt see who are you and what kind of social class are you. Even you are well known person, success, rich, but you did nothing for your nation, its nonsense. Every single youth must do the alteration for their country without exception. But how the way they alter their country? Is it possible the youths able alter the country to be progress without alter their self first?

       Before the youth do an alteration for their country. There is an important thing that should be done by youth. They have to change their bad habit into good habit. In other word, before they do the big thing, they have to start from the smallest thing. That is changing theirselves better than before. Its impossible the youths do the big thing whereas they ignore the smallest thing which exist in theirselves.

       Don't discuss about other countries, let's discuss our own country! Indonesia is the biggest country, the country that known as the heaven of the world. Unfortunately, Indonesia is hard to find a way to make the country becomes progress like Japan, China, and Amerika. Indonesia always lost in every single sectors like education, economic, etc. The question is what things that makes it happen? The answer is the youths of Indonesia.

       Lets see! The youths of Indonesia are  hard to do the alteration today. Because the had been influenced by other culture from other countries which most of them are bad to be accepted. The example are westernization, hedonism, sekularism and others. As though they lost their true color, nationalism and patriotism. Unfortunately, they cant choose and distinguish which culture that is apropriate to be implemented in Indonesia.

       There are many things that should not be done by the youth in Indonesia. Youths habit in Indonesia is tend to the consumtive than productive. They prefer playing game than thinking how do the way they make it or finding new invation in sector of technology for example. Besides, they are able to spend the time for hanging out with friends till the middle of the night. Finnaly they were caught by the police. It would be better if they spent their time to learn at home than did unimportant thing for them and for their future. Therefore they need to change theirselve first before they change the country.

      Youths should go on with positive alteration day after day in his or her life, how loss if youths are seen to be worse than yesterday. The success of  youths in dealing with a number of life handicaps along with the good alterations will be the basic in how they bring alteration to their surroundings. Always considering the statement from Mr. Soekarno  "give me ten youths, I would shake the world", but the problem is how do the youths shake the world if they are still juggling around in the same circle. There is once more the statement "today is young, tomorrow will be a leader” the problem has arrised again, how do they can lead a nation if they cant lead theirselves?

       Dr. Yusuf Qardhawi said that there are three things that underline a youth as a foundation of alteration. The first, the youths come with brilliant brain. By brilliant brain, they can select which is bad and good alteration for theirselves and nation. Besides, they are easy following the era without lost their true color. Indeed, they also can compete with other countries in the term of science and technology. The second is youths have strong physical. the strong physical used for the youths to do a lot of activity all day long. They will be easy and enjoy if they have strong physical. it would be different i they have weak physical. they will be difficult alter the nation. The last is youth behave objectively. They must have certain target to be reached. One fullstop, only that fullstop as which has been become soundtrack of Asian Games undertitle “reach for the star”.

       Concerning in that three things of alteration above is not enough. Therefore, I take the conclusion that to bring the balance of alteration according to Dr. Yusuf Qardhawi, the youths also need to take into consider of three things bo spiritual alterations. The first, youths need to have strong faith. If they have it, they will do anything and feel there is someone tht always see them, that is  a God. The second is youths need to be always istiqimah in performing any religious, services, and duties. Istiqamah here is the key word. Istiqimah means the youths always continue their activity including religious, duties, and others. Its nonsense, a person who clever but he is not istiqamah in performing their daily activity especially for the good things. The last is the youths have good manners or akhlak khsanah. This is a very important thing that must be had by the youths. Good manners is a thing that liked by the society in a nation. Eventhough the youths are not clever and poor, but they have good manners, society will respect to them.

       As one of the youth generation of Indonesia, in my nervousness in speech and doubting to my self “Have I given any alteration for my nation Indonesia?"  The last is for youths of Indonesia, Im just thinking out loud about these words  "Indonesia has so many youths, if there is no youth that want to alter this nation, then who? If not now the youths are trying to alter this nation, then when?” Actually, what are the youths waiting for if they can do the alteration now? I really don't want the youths of Indonesia become "fresh cocunut to be pared, old cocunut leaves its husk". It means "till young reach for satisaction, getting old gain nothing". Lets we shake the world together and show the world who Indonesia is!

Sejak Kapan Presentasi Dilarang Tanya?

-
       Kapan hari, dilaksanakan sebuah presentasi pada mata kuliah pembelajaran diferensiasi. Kebetulan, yang presentasi saat itu ada perwakilan dari teman-teman kelompok PPL saya. Ada kejadian lucu yang cukup menggelitik perut saya, yakni saya oleh teman saya dilarang bertanya.        Saya kira di mana-mana, setiap presentasi pasti ada pertanyaan, entah itu dari dosen atau pun dari kelompok lain. Sehingga dari pertanyaan-pertanyaan tersebut, muncul sebuah diskusi yang menarik dan dapat menambah wawasan kita. Dari sini, harapannya adalah kita mendapatkan pengetahuan baru seperti itu. Namun, apa yang terjadi jika kelompok yang presentasi melarang anggota dari kelompok lain untuk bertanya? Jadi sepi kan presentasinya? Ya nggak ada bedanya dengan presentasi tanpa kehadiran kelompok-kelompok lain.  Mending presentasi sendiri saja di rumah. Tidak ada dosen, tidak ada audiens, hanya mereka sendiri yang presentasi.         K...
