International Education Week

Guys. Apa kabar?
I just sent my short report about my activity for celebrating International Education Week to YES ACES office. I really hope that my report will be accepted as the most creative . Because it supposes to be a competition for it.
 This is my report:

RADHINGGA DWI SETIANA
INDONESIA

Friday, Saturday, Sunday, November 5th, 6th, 7th 2010
           
I did this service when the International Festival (A Global Celebration) was happening. It was held at the Veterans Memorial Hall, Columbus, Ohio, this event presented many cultures that exist in all parts of the world. It seized attention of the public. People who came mostly were from social communities such as Boy scouts, students who were doing the cultural research, as well as outside the American people who live here to work, school, even as an exchange student.
            Service that I did is helping the Baha'i Faith community in the hat game. This game is called 'The World Citizen Game'. The hats are from nearly 60 countries. The challenge here is how to make people would like to visit and how to explain them where country the hat originated coming from. The explanation should not be given directly by demonstrating its country, but directed to guesses. For examples:
Ø    Lesotho: The country is located in mountains area, so the hat looks like a mountain and there is something on the top of it.
Ø    South East Asia: These countries are in tropical area, such as Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam. Most of the population works on the farm. So the hat is a hat that is used by farmers.
Ø    Russia: This country has cold weather, so they usually wear warm hat.
From the explanation above, visitors could get more knowledge of the geographic, social circumstances, and culture of the local country. 
            The part that I like was asking visitors who had been able to guess the hat to repeat the pledge, which read:
            I pledge allegiance to the world,
            To care for earth and sea and air,
            To cherish every living thing,
            To work for peace and justice everywhere. 
Drumming and sometimes I did little Indonesian dance to them, which at that time I was wearing Indonesian outfit. After that, I pinned a sticker on their left chest and said, "Congratulations you are A World Citizen now."
            A lot of things I got from this game. Beside fun, education was also not forgotten. And, Praise God, people were interested with this game. Nearly 500 pieces of stickers that were available were all over.

Sekolah Ideologi 2012

Alhamdulillah essayku "Review Masa Kebangkitan Nasional" diterima dan terpilih sebagai delegasi Fakultas Hukum untuk menjadi salah satu 100 peserta Sekolah Ideologi 2012.  Memberi testimoni tentang Sekolah Ideologi 2012 Berbicara tentang ideologi, tentu bisa kita garis bawahi bahwa ideologi bangsa ini adalah Pancasila. Sudah tertanam sejak dahulu berbagai macam rezim yang menguasai Indonesia kita telah mengenal kesaktian Pancasila sebagai wujud selalu berlakunya Pancasila dalam menghadapi berbagai macam zaman. Sedikit berbeda dengan yang dikatakan oleh Harist Abu Ulya, Direktur CIIA (The Community of Ideological Islamic Analist), kemarin di Sekolah Ideologi yang diselenggarakan Kementrian Kebijakan Publik Eksekutif Mahasiswa Universitas Brawijaya. Beliau mengatakan bahwa Pancasila adalah bukan salah satu macam ideologi. Pancasila selama ini adalah suatu hasil tipuan politik, yang mana setiap bergantinya kepemimpinan bangsa, arah pancasila selalu berbe...

Jayeng Kusuma Kridha

Jayeng Kusuma adalah seorang wedana Kadipaten Brebeg. Dia adalah ksatria yang tidak mendukung berlangsungnya Penjajahan Belanda di bumi nusantara ini. Pada suatu hari di Pendhopo Kadipaten Brebeg berlangsunglah suatu musyawarah. Di dalam musyawarah yang dipimpin oleh Adipati Sasra Kusuma ini membicarakan tentang kebijakan pemerintahan Belanda di Indonesia yang akan dirubah dari Politik Culture Stelsel menjadi Politik Etis. Hal ini dilatar belakangi oleh masa peralihan politik di Belanda yang semula bersifat konservative menjadi politik yang lebih liberal, sehingga Pemimpin Bangsa Belanda merasa bahwa sistem pemerintahan yang diterapkan di Indonesia pada waktu itu kurang menguntungkan bagi rakyat pribumi. Belanda akan lebih memperhatikan keadaan sosial, pendidikan, kesehatan, dan kesejahteraan masyarakat pribumi Indonesia melalui sistem ini, Politik Etis. Semua informasi itu disampaikan oleh duta Bangsa Belanda bernama Hazeu. Dengan diberlakukannya sistem baru ini, Jayeng Kusuma tet...
