    the information of education and scholarship overseas.

    Furthermore, I have also several bad impressions of IAIN. Firstly,

    IAIN has a lack of facilities. The need of large and appropriate

    auditorium is not fulfilled. Some seminars are often held in a non

    appropriate place where audiences must stand because [when]

    attending the seminarof [due to] the lack of seats. Secondly, the

    lack of competition in this campus especially in term of knowledge

    development section makes [led to the fact that] the quality of

    students is low. Finally, the administration service in this campus

    completely is [is completely] poor. Sometimes, the administration

    officers cant [can not] work on time.

    Architecture in Nature

    Allah created the nature long before the creation of human.

    Allah created it as facilities for human life. Besides, He shows His

    authority to them. In the nature there are many amazing things

    which can be found. The beautiful landscape of mountains, seas

    tubes. Those hexagonal tubes are arranged to be a wonderful

    beehive which is used to keep nectar or honey for the bee queen

    and to keep their babies. Researcher found that hexagonal is the

    most appropriate shape used as a place for storing liquid like

    honey. If it is arranged well, it will not remain any unused room

    [leave space for nothing]. This storage is also can keep more

    volume of liquid than circle or other shapes[ can also keep volume

    of liquid more than that of circle or other shapes]. In addition, the

    beehive is made in thirty degrees of declivity to avoid the honey

    from being spelled.

    The second architecture is the home of beaver. Beaver is an

    animal which lives in the river and builds their home on the water.

    Before making their home they made a dam by arranging branches

    and twigs of the trees in forest around the river. They cut down the

    trees by using their teeth. They choose the trees which [that

    already] attain the age of more than three years. Afterthebranches

    and twigs are collected [collecting the branches and twigs], beavers

    bring them to the river and begin to arrange them when

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    5/39

    constructing a dam. This dam [which] is used to dam up the

    stream. The purpose is [,] to protect their home from being drifted

    in the river. Something is unrealized [regarding this, one should

    not forget one thing] that they make a dam in a well planed

    construction. They make it in an elliptic shape. This is recognized

    as the most appropriate type of dam in [to] dam up the stream. This

    type of construction is used in most big dams I the world [mostly

    for big dams in the world].

    The third is spider web. Spider web is made of the fluid

    which is produced in the spider body in and formed as string. It is

    braided to be a wonderful web which is used as a device to catch

    their victims like small insects. The amazing fact of spider web is

    that this web is made of the best string. Researcher found that the

    spider string has a great power. Its strength is three times stronger

    than steel. The web is also sensitive of small movement. It makes

    spiders can [be able to] feel if there is a small insects touching their

    web. Spiders can catch their victims easily not only because of the

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    6/39

    sensitivity of the web but also because [the fact that] their web is

    very sticky.

    How can these animals make [equip] their homes with the

    high technology of architecture? Who has taught them to do such

    things? The answer is that there is a Supreme Substance who

    taught them. He is Allah the Almighty. Finally, all the facts of the

    creation above show that in the creation of nature are hidden the

    great miracles.

    Interesting Experiences

    Since I had begun to teach the students at vocational high school

    SMK N 1 Serang, I was really delightful that I have been given a

    great chance to improve my language by teaching and working

    collaboratively with all the teachers over there. The teachers are

    very friendly, welcome and very kind to me.

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    7/39

    It needs too much time to make friendship with every teacher. I

    should have a great struggle to be familiarized to the new

    environment and people where [with whom] I already work.

    Actually I want to tell about my experiences as a new English

    teacher who can be co-opted by the committee of school. In the

    first time I taught students, I had nice impressions. Do you know?

    There many students were enthusiastically interested to me. I do

    not know the possible reason why they really want to recognize me

    much closer. then some teachers [then] told me that you not to [I

    ought not to feel] strange right here because female students were

    more dominant than males.

    As a new comer I often consult with all teachers that [who] work

    much longer than me. I realized that I do not have enough

    experience at teaching. , but [However] I wish I could be one better

    among teachers [one of the best teachers]. First thing that I already

    done is how to observe teaching strategy in studying process. Most

    of the teachers are used to teach the students by speech. This is

    teacher-centered method, where in other word the students only

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    8/39

    listen to, and look at [try to understand] their teachers explanation

    of certain theory.

    I can guess whether the students will be [are] bored in such

    condition, because so far as I know that standard competence in

    curriculum 2009 is refersred to students speaking. This means that

    students must be more active to express their own thoughts, ideas

    and feelings. So it is the main assignment for all teachers how to

    improve and develop teaching strategy for students achievement

    in the study process.

    Basically there are many ways in teaching language classroom

    such as: role play, silent way, group-work, discussion in small-

    group and conversation. Some of strategies can be conducted in

    teaching language. However there will be great chances to increase

    knowledge in teaching language by using an appropriate strategy

    in order to get satisfactory learning for improving students ability

    in understanding English language.

    The impression of IAIN

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    9/39

    I have been studying in IAIN since 2006. I take an English

    department for my studying [major]. I enjoy studying English. This

    is not only due to the fact that because my lecturers are very kind

    but also and they are master in [have very good command of]

    English. It will [this could] will support my English competency.

    Although I sometime feel anxious with my campus because the

    management of IAIN is not good, such as management of class,

    IP,KRS, etc. besides the lack of fasilitates can affect the students'

    skill but I love my campus. [I love my campus, despite of the fact

    that it is ill-managed especially in term of class management,

    Students Index of Achievement, Students Registration Card, etc.

    Besides, it has lack of facilities to support class process.]

    I proud of studying in IAIN because I have gotten [get] many

    valuable things such as [memorable] experiences, knowledge,

    friendship, fraternity, etc. [Above all] and the greatest thing is that

    I can [could] join lab. Bantenologi, an instution that gives me a

    IAIN and Islamic Habit

    When we entering to the State Institute for Islamic Studies

    (IAIN), we have to make [have] a different understanding of

    between Islam as the best religion and the people of IAIN as

    Moslem community. because Islam as a religion, Islam has clear

    [distinctive] rules to manage the Moslem life: . From the simple

    thing of life like how to manage our daily activities, to make

    relationship with the people and God. etc, Islam has the rule. As a

    Moslem community, we must follow the rules to get the reward

    from Allah. If we do not [observe] the teachings of Islam, we will

    be punished by the God. absolutely will give us a punishment

    namely a sin.

    IAIN As an Islamic institution, IAIN is supposed to should

    practice Islamic values to show that Islam is the best religion

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    11/39

    having the best values for managing the people in the world. It will

    be a prototype of the real ofIslam. But I do not see it. We never

    show that we are a Moslem community [that is] having concerned

    to [with] the Islam as our social reality. Because of the fact that we

    never use Islam as way of our life. We [Our] belief isjust confined

    [merely] in our mouth [words], [and not [implemented] in [by] our

    action.

    Why I said like that? This is well reflected by the fact Everyone

    knows that IAIN is a rubbish sea. There are many types of

    rubbish in everywhere we see. We always say that that cleanliness

    is a part of the faith. [a Friday summon preaches only a nonsense

    remark]bullshit thing we preach every Friday on the pulpit. We

    just command the people to do a thing thatbut we do not do it

    ourselves.

    So I thinkwe have to change [our own habit] of habitual of

    ourselves to show that Islam does not teach us to have is not dirty

    environment. Islam is the best answer[solution] of the world

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    12/39

    problems, including the simple one, such as a simple thing problem

    like rubbishproblem. It is not supposed to be around our institute

    if the rector is concerned with the cleanliness of his campus by As

    an Islamic Institution having a leader, all of the problems can be

    solved if the leader wants to striving himself to handle it. Unless

    this problem is solved, the impression of people on IAIN as the

    prototype of Islamic institution will not change. But if he has not a

    desire to show the real Islam, we see the judgment of the people to

    IAIN as the prototype of Islamic Institution. It means that IAIN has

    made a bad image to Islam as the way of life.

    The Human and Technology

    Human and technology are two cases that can not be separated.

    with our life in this century.In our environment, we lookeveryone

    makes use of technological products to help his activities: y such

    as forwashing, typing, walking, etc., going everywhere, etc.

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    13/39

    Actually, we know thattechnology is invented to for the first time

    was created to get easy of our life.

    Many advantages the advancement ofwhen the technology is

    going forward. The led people to save a lot ofdoes not spend his

    many times, much money, and energy to do everything. With [the

    help of] technology, [the distance of places around] the world

    seems only a few kilometers. Today, that we to go around the

    world in a day is not only our imagination but it can be done by

    riding supersonic plane or jet plane.

    The ship setting sail on the wide sea does not use the wind as

    the power to make it badge. We can not imagine if[Provided that]

    our water, air, and road transportation still use manual and

    traditional technology; when all machines are moved by the power

    of human, animal, and air, it is difficult to answer a question: how

    long they need to be able to go from [one] place to anotherplace,

    from one island to anotherisland, or one continent to another

    continent?

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    14/39

    Not only for the transportation tools, but also for

    communication the technology is used. This holds true for IT that .

    It makes [us] far easier to communicate with other people in this

    world. We can make a chat with everyone without having to meet

    physically face-to-face.Moreover with sophisticated technology

    we can see the person we invite to make a chat by a monitor, by a

    small camera.

    In the plant,production machine also we can see how the machine

    can produce the goods needed by the people in 24 hours without

    stopping. It is impossible if it is done by the people who , because

    the people have limited energy to work 24 hours. Likewise, On

    the other hand, we can see also people make use of the tractorused

    to plow up their rice field or unirrigated agricultural field.It needs

    only a little time to do it if it is in comparison with the people or

    buffalo power. In essential, that the first time the technology is

    made and found is to give many benefits for the people.

    Anyway, To sum up, it is worthy to note that technology is

    only a tool . So that it [which] is like two knife eyes [double-edged

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    15/39

    knife]: it It can give many benefits as well as harms to thepeople

    or even inflict also financial lost. depending [on who the user is]. If

    the user is the kind and wise people, the technology will give many

    benefits. But if the user is an evil one, so it will make disastrously.

    IfLike in a war, the technology is sometimes applied to used to

    make guns and tanks for killing the people. Sometimes it is made

    use of for computerto Or the people use the computerconnecting

    to the internet for stealing the in the bank having a system of

    computer technology.

    So everything is back to ourselves who use technology as a part of

    our life in this world. The technology is only a tool and we are the

    user of the tool. The user can make it multifunction; the good or

    bad function.

    CONDUCTING A RESEARCH

    Many students of IAIN Banten campus have difficulties to

    conduct a research in the end of their study. This research will be

    one of the requirements by fulfilling which they could to graduate.

    Firstly, they are hard to understand what they must do. They tend

    to think the simplest problem they faced in their daily life. Many

    sources (books, magazines, newspaper, etc) do not help them to

    open [improve] their ability. Secondly, the students do not like

    reading so much. It can be proved from library data. From year to

    year, the sum [number] of students who love reading is relatively

    little. The library will be [is] crowded only when the students need

    it.

    Concerning to conduct a research in junior or senior high

    school, the students should prepare themselves many applications,

    books, newest information. To determine a little for a research also

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    17/39

    the students are hard. I can also be caused by many problems [not

    clear]; one of them is less of reading.

    Students who study in campus should understand how to

    conduct a research well. It [this] is important because they will not

    find difficulties when they are facing a serious research. The

    research should be logic and understandable. It is also proportional

    to do so.

    Conducting a research will be easy when the students

    understand the field of research. Besides, they will get good

    guidelines after comprehending every sides of research. It is a must

    for students to understand the advantages and disadvantagesbefore

    [of] conducting a research. Therefore, the students will not find

    difficulties to do research.

    In research, the students should have much serious thought,

    give contribution, make an innovative research and bring the

    research to a good goal. Hopefully, the research which is done in

    academic life could will have good change people to have into a

    good life.

    In addition, good research is produced by good preparation

    before conducting it. Everyone both man and woman can do that

    both man and women.

    The Benefit of Internet

    Nowadays, the internet is not a new thing forpeople

    Indonesia [Indonesian people]. It is a necessity for many people.

    because ofwith internet we can make [look for] many information

    things such asseeka information from all over the ofworld with

    influences the increase of the using of the internet all over the

    world. so that raising of using internet always increase in all

    worlds every years. In Indonesia a number of using internet always

    increase with raising great enough. Now many access of internet

    which can be chosen agree with requirement every peoples. Such

    as access of internnet from a Telkom and a speedy. In addition to

    still many access of internets which can be chosen instence of a

    only use [uses not only] laptop or computer but also use Modem.

    At this moment, marketing internet was familiar of using internet

    Domestic Violence

    Domestic violence has become a real threat for all people in the

    world, especially women and children. Usually, domestic violence

    happens to the unhealthy family where the father plays the biggest

    role in the family. The father thinks that the power is in their[his]

    hands. If we referring to the Holy Quran, we understand that the

    position offather or man functions is as the leader in the family or

    in the society. However,but if we take a look to the present days,

    we can see that many women and wives play a role in the society,

    even it is not as big as what the men have. The men always take

    what set in the Holy Quran as the guidance of doing certain

    UCU

    NURHASANAH

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    21/39

    activities that make women suffer. One of the activities that they

    do is domestic violence.

    As it is explained before, first, we need to define what domestic

    violence is. Domestic violence is the circumstance where the

    husband or wife do things that make both of them suffer. Domestic

    violence often happens to those who do not have love,

    compassions, or self of belonging to their spouse and children.

    There are two kinds of domestic violence: ; they are verbal

    violence and physical violence. Verbal violence is a kind of

    domestic violence which [in a form of] words and sentences used

    to that refer to inappropriate meaning in order to ruin the image of

    their spouse or to underestimate their spouses self esteem. This

    verbal violence does not always happen to the couple but to the

    children as well. The children will begin to feel under pressure and

    they will also begin to become introvert to their society. The

    second is physical violence. The physical violence is such a real

    image [representation] of the domestic violence we are discussed

    [ing]. This violence and it is a real threaten to the humans life.

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    22/39

    Physical violence is always related to physical things, such as

    hitting, slapping, and even in some cases the couple is able to

    killing each other.

    We need to take a lookto [at] some problems that cause domestic

    violence. There are some factors that make someone do the

    domestic violence: ; such as economic, the strong self of

    belonging, and the strong love they have for their couple.

    In order to prevent the domestic violence, we need to try to prevent

    it with some ways. There are some solutions to prevent the

    domestic violence in our society, such as giving the understandings

    to the people, especially the married couple to love their spouse is

    the first example. Secondly, to give their spouse the compassions

    and to tell them that family should be the priority in their lives. It

    is noteworthy thatbecause once someone decided to get married,

    then he or she should be devoted to their couple.

    With this kind of situation, it is such a necessary for us to start to

    think about the solutions to the problems. It is not only the

    responsibility should not only be born by our government but also

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    23/39

    by all of us our responsibility as the citizens. To stop this domestic

    violence should be started from now. Start to love your partner.

    My The Impressions of[on] IAIN SMH BANTEN

    I started to study in IAIN SMH Banten in 2005. I have taken

    English Education and Letters Faculty. In IAIN I have found a lot

    of friends. In the first year I have some difficulties in dealing with

    some of the lessons, especially new subject matter, such as that

    I took because the lessons were something new for me. The topics

    discussed by some of the lecturers are easy to understand but some

    of them are not. Some lecturers are discipline and some of them

    are not especially if it [when they] deals with the grades. The idea

    that I chose IAIN as a place to continue my studybecause it came

    [comes] from my friends reference; she said that the school fee

    [tuition] in IAIN was cheaper than any other colleges in Serang.

    but [However,] when I had my entrance test, I found out that the

    fee [tuition] was not like what I thought. With that kind of

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    24/39

    situation, I began to realize that I should study as hard as I can

    because the fee [tuition] wasnt [not] cheap at all.

    But then, after few years studied [Having studied for few years], I

    knew [found out] that there are some scholarship programs that

    IAIN offers to the students. I knew that not all colleges offer the

    same thing as IAIN offers. So [Finally], I could say that studying

    in IAIN is not as bad as I thought before because I knew what the

    meaning of hard workis.

    IAIN Banten through My Eyes

    To [for the] people who live in Banten, to know IAIN Banten

    is should not to be something new because IAIN hasbeen existed

    more than three decades. But to me as a person who was born in

    Banten unfortunately its [is] surely new [However, for me as a

    person who was born in Banten, the information on IAIN is surely

    new]. I left Banten when I was 13 years old and then went back

    home afterI finished [completing my study at] senior high school

    in 2005. After having been advised by With suggestion from my

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    25/39

    parents, I decided to do my degree [take undergraduate program] at

    IAIN. I chose withmajorEnglish education as my major.

    At that time I have less information about university [high

    education] in Banten. so I asked some of my friends do whether or

    not they know IAIN or not?. I am amazed when they know what is

    IAIN and where is IAIN is. Accordingly,but they all explain it all

    with no interest [indifferently]. This has led me to I then get my

    first impression to [on] IAIN that this university is not a favorite

    university in Banten even though some students need to try harder

    to study in IAIN.

    Later after I have passed the tests to enter IAIN, I focused on

    my study. I spent around four years and a half there and just

    graduated on last January.[Having studied for about four years and

    a half], I graduated. As a fresh graduate student, I started to ask

    my friends about job where I can work for? What comment [the

    response] I got from my friends then is still the same like when I

    asked IAIN for the first time. IAIN is assumed as disreputable

    university. The strangest expression comes from some government

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    26/39

    officers in Banten which made a label for IAIN graduate student

    [who regard IAIN graduates] as ineligible student [ones] to work in

    their office. I have anger to [am against] their assumption. They do

    not have right to judge somebody before they knowing further

    ones skills and knowledge.

    Moreover, I am still optimistic about [with] my future. I

    started to searching job in newspaper as well as internet. I assumed

    peoples remarks words about IAIN are not always true. I build my

    confidence so as to twist their assumption to become a fact. Let us

    me or all of us perform our ability to others because we have more

    skills than they need if we want to dig deeper. People outside IAIN

    may have different ways of views on us thinking from ours. or

    even it may be can be categorized as underestimate,but we should

    be sure that we are the only ones who know better about IAIN.

    "FACEBOOK" PHENOMENON FOR INDONESIAN

    PEOPLE

    Nowadays, some of Indonesian people look like outbreak of

    [undergo] facebook syndromes. Of course we can say like that

    because most of them ever try or might be have this website. In

    fact, facebook is not something new for everyone in Indonesia.

    Based on the research [according to the recent research],

    every element of the society (started from adults, teenagers,

    housewives, clerks, even students) can be as apart for this

    [become part of this] social net service. Actually theres [is] no

    problem for[of] this phenomena. because with this service offers

    us information instead. We can get good things, we get an

    opportunity to find our old friends. , also [Likewise, we could

    make] new friends that we haven t know before for making a

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    28/39

    friendship. We can share with our friends information of about

    everything or maybe just asking for job, advertising, also

    sometimes we will get an information such as an invitation for

    our friends wedding, etc. or another important announcement

    which can make us easy, etc. Thats the positive things from

    facebook.

    But the conditions became worst However, when this social

    net service [facebook] is used as a tool for something bad, there

    will be . There are so many problems. which caused of facebook.

    Recently, In the mass media or on the television we often hear that

    about a girl was kidnapped by someone. For instance like what

    happened to Nova she was kidnapped by Ari. She has knew Ari

    from the facebook, at beginning she just trying to look for a new

    friend, but then Ari ask her to met in one place, after they have

    met, Ari was doing impeachment to her, and this case leaked out

    and still in the process in police station. Another story happened to

    Major, she [who] has a new boy friend that she got from facebook.

    , but its slightly different with Nova and Ary, they decided to get

    married without their parents and their familys permission.

    Chynta has lost for several day until make all of her family

    member sad. Than the police officer found them in one place. And

    the case is still in the process.

    Facebook could also help the syndicate of prostitution to

    increase their network. Another story came from another region,

    there were the sindicate of prostitution which using this media for

    making a transaction with their costumer, they put the photos of

    the girls, also write the name and the telephone numbers for each

    girls, so the costumers can choose and book them easily. But this

    crime had been solved by the police. And there were still many

    abuse which caused from this media.

    According to telemathic expert Roy Suryo, facebook in

    four or five years ago has became something [made the parents in

    USA] worried for the parents in America, because it can be used

    by phaedophilia to find their victims, theirchildren. has became

    a target for Phaedofil man. That man pretending as a good boy and

    put his picture using another guy who has a good performance, in

    order for making trapped for their victims. And I have seen on the

    Oprah Winfrey Show at Metro TV, this phenomenon is really

    happened. And I think this is terrible. So, actually whats the

    matter with facebook? at Finally, it can be concluded that in one

    side facebook can be a tool for the good things, but on the other

    hand it will be something terrible. And maybe the answer is its

    depend to [on] our self. we know that all of the technology,

    including that of information, have [has] usefulness and also

    sometimes caused inflicted a loss upon the people. Than based on

    the fact above the parents should be more pay more attention in

    orderto protect their children. Taking this in mind, And also for all

    of us lets [us] make this media as the valuable things from which

    we can benefit help us so we can get more the advantages from it.

    THE INDIAN TRIBE, AMONG THE EXTINCTION

    The Indian tribe is the first north American settlers, who

    came from Asia more than 20.000 years ago. Because of the prey

    animal [to avoid the prey animal], they roamed through Behring

    Strait (now separating Asia and America). Finally they lived and

    developed into various tribes. They built many communities for

    many centuries until the European came to America in the 16th

    century. Then in 16th century, European came to America. They

    [European] destroyed many native American communities [tribe],

    the Indian , the name given by European for the natives American,

    went through many years with suffering which European killed

    them and took away their land. But anyway, [however] theyre

    [are] still alive although theiramount [number] is not as many as

    like before [decreases]. In the encounter with European

    colonialism, the Indians They did many things: to survive their

    selves from European colonialism, who didnt like their existence.

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    32/39

    Some of these ways are fighting European, keeping their culture,

    and their idea about equality and democracy.

    Anyway Indian people couldnt [not] only stay in their

    home and give up. They also fought against European, who used

    guns and horses in their war. But the Indian who only used spears

    as their weapon fought European bravely. Its [is] really terrible

    because many Indians died, [especially Moreover, some of them

    who live in East US were gone forever,] died. However thosebut

    some of them who lived in West US like New Mexico and Arizona

    are still alive. Its [is] great because they could survive from this

    war for almost 200 years. In addition, exactly the European still

    fights against Indian now. They still took away the Indian land, but

    today they dont [do not] use weapon anymore for fighting.

    Not only fighting European, they also kept their tradition

    and believe in order that their culture survived too. They still do

    [perform] their ritual tradition [traditional ritual] like [as] their

    ancestor did although it is in different way. One of the traditional

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    33/39

    rituals that still do today is Ta Na E Ka. It is the special ritual for

    Kaws teenagers. In this rite, which every teenagers should be

    naked and through the days outside [stay outdoor whole the day]

    without food or money. Even though it seems like a crazy ritual,

    but they still do it. And they believing that e by doing this ritual it

    would help them to protect their selves from the enemy. However,

    that is the way they survive [conserve] their culture from

    extinction. They live with their culture which become part of their

    life for many centuries. So by the existence of their culture which

    they are proud of it. They were known [are well known for their

    strict adherence to their culture and tradition]. by many people

    wholeover the world.

    Group sharing of knowledge and responsibilities is

    integral to the Native American lifestyle. Generosity is valued,

    especially in helping others who are less fortunate, according to

    Native American tradition, equality of position, title, or material

    possessions (Axelson, 1985). However, so far gathering and

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    34/39

    equality helped their existence too. They didnt [not] see man or

    woman differently. Everybody has the same responsibility. For

    instance, they didnt [not] choose their leader from the gender, but

    they emphasized for their quality in leadership. And actually, this

    idea inspired woman emancipation in Europe. And alsotheir idea

    about democracy influenced US government system[ was also

    equally influenced by their idea about democracy].

    Perhaps, everybody might be face the difficult situation like

    [as] native American did. There was the time where someone

    stayed [when one face] a dangerous situation, and they [he] need

    to think [deeply and seriously to find a solution] a lot about the

    solving problem. Like the Tsunami disaster which destroyed in

    Aceh, Indonesia in 2004, for instance, has led more than 15000 to

    die, and caused thousands of others d, and rest people lost their

    family and home. This is the biggest disaster that ever happen in

    Indonesia. So they need a lot attention from many peoples. In

    addition, this is what was happened to Native American in the past.

    35/39

    Actually, they need a lot attention too. Somehow, they have own

    ways to survive [conserve] their selves, their culture and their

    communities. And some of these ways are fighting European,

    keeping their tradition, and their idea about equality

    The Phenomenon ofIndonesian Football View

    Tri Ilma Septiana

    Football or usually most of American called [refer to] soccer

    is a sport loved by almost all people in the world. The sport which

    was founded by a British on the 17thofcentury became the most

    popular sport which was played and watched by a million of pair

    of eyes. Just mention, some of international competitions, like

    [such as] World cup, European cup, and European Champions

    League as well as Asian Cup are drawing special attention from

    pair of a million football viewers in every country.

    Nowadays, football is not only a sport, but has been

    developing become an industry field. A football match can produce

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    36/39

    big [huge] profits for a club. Recently a club could gain much

    income not only from selling tickets, merchandises but also from

    broadcasting right per match and official team sponsor. According

    to President of FIFA, Sepp Blatter, Football has became [become]

    a money machine which can print million dollars from every

    match.

    In contrast, the ironic view sees in Indonesian football

    development. Indonesian football having declining, [however,

    Indonesian football has its weakness]. it seen from [This is

    reflected by the fact that] there is no proud achievement or

    prestigious award gained by our beloved national team in

    international or regional competition in the latest of [recent]

    decade. Only failures recorded inrotten pages of national football

    history [records only its failures]. Even, President Indonesia, SBY,

    is mad and fed up with it. In an interview he has ever shown to

    intention to reform make revolution in PSSI organization structure.

    Some factors appear to the public that caused the failures of

    stagnant achievement of Indonesian National team. Some

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    37/39

    analyzers mention [refer] the failures caused by [to] the worst of

    atmosphere of regional competition. Stadium and supporting arena

    are still below of standard [poor]. The referee is not fair and

    firm.ly, and the riot and clash among supporters that become

    headline in every sport magazine and daily newspaper.

    Thus, we repeatedly ask to our deeply hearts [ought to reflect

    deeply:] What is wrong with our football? Why we could not gain

    better achievement in the latest of decade? Why we could not

    participate in the highest level competition like [such as] world

    cup, even [whereas] the number of Indonesian population are more

    than 200 million people?

    Many questions above try to be answered by many sport

    journalists [try to answer the questions mentioned above]. For

    instance, [accordingly] Ronny Pangemanan, the senior sport

    journalist from popular daily newspaper, Top Score, . Pangemanan

    says id that [t]o resolve big problems of our football, I suggest to

    PSSI as a parent organization of Indonesian football to reduce and

    select a number of foreign football player in every club. He also

  • 8/8/2019 Tugas 1 Pre Depart

    38/39

    stressed [s] that every club should has [have] only three foreign

    football player. In line with Pangemanans idea, M. Koesnaeni, a

    sport commentator, is also give comments on his article in Bola

    Magazine. He said [suggests PSSI to]beside minimize a number of

    foreign football players, he also emphasizing the importance of

    organizing local competitions for students from junior until

    university level. In a sport program Koesnaeni he ever [also]

    criticizesd PSSIs policy that [to spend] spent a million dollar to

    send young players (i.e., under 19) to join Qunita Division

    competition in Uruguay. Here again [accordingly], he hopes that

    PSSI is [behaves] more seriously in determining and selecting a

    foreign football players who are allowed to participate in

    Indonesian super League.

    Finally, the responsibility to the development ofIndonesian

    football lays not only in the hand of PSSI as a parent organization,

    but also in that of all elements of Indonesian society. could be

    responsibilities for all elements of society not only PSSI duty as

    parent organization. The last but not the least, the writer takes his

    39/39

    privilege in this opportunity to quote the remark by the former

    Youth and Sport ministry, Adhyaksa Dault, saying the national

    anthem, Indonesia Raya, will only singed in aboard because of

    things [will be sung abroad only on two occasions]: The first one is

    Presidents visit ing to aboard [when President visits abroad] and

    the second one is while the athlete gains the medal or trophy.
