How to Pray for Hajat Prayer Intentions?

As with the obligatory prayers and other sunnah prayers, the hajat prayers which can be carried out from 2 to 12 cycles with one greeting, of course, have their own reading of the intention prayer. The reading of the intention prayer is carried out as a “marker” for the commencement of the hajat prayer, namely before takbiratul ihram. Well, here is a prayer of intention at prayer hajat.

15 Prayers That Can Be Read After Prayers of Hajat

After the hajat prayer is finished, it is better not to leave immediately. Because this is the right time to ask Him about what our needs or desires are. Reporting from jabar.nu , there are several prayers that can be read after performing the hajat prayer, namely:

First Prayer

Meaning: “There is no god but Allah who is kind and generous. There is no god but Allah, the most high and great. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the majestic Throne. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds,” (See Syekh M Nawawi Banten, Nihayatuz Zain, [Beirut, Darul Pole Al-Ilmiyyah: 2002 M/1422 H], first printing, page 104).

I ask You for the guidance of charity according to Your mercy, the provisions of Your forgiveness, the opportunity to achieve as much goodness, and protection from all sins. Don’t let me have one sin left, but forgive me. Do not also leave me in a state of doubt, so set it free. Nor do You neglect me who is in need according to Your pleasure, therefore fulfill my wish. O merciful God.”

Fourth Prayer

(“Laa ilaha illallohul hakiimul kariimu subhaanallohi robbil ‘arsyil azhiim. Alhamdu lillaahi robbil aalamiin. As aluka muujibaari rohmatika wa ‘azaaima maghfirotika wal ghoniimata ming kulli birri wassalaamata ming kulli itsmin laa tada lii dzamban illa ghofartahu walaa hamman illaa farojtahu walaa haajatan hiya laka ridho illa qodhoitahaa yaa arhamar roohimiin.”)

It means:

“ There is no God except Allah, the Most Forbearing, the Most Glorious, the Most Holy, Allah, the Lord of the Great Throne, all praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.

Fifth Prayer: Istighfar

This fifth prayer is in the form of istighfar which is a dhikr to ask Allah SWT for forgiveness. This istighfar remembrance is read 100 times after the hajat prayer is performed. So, here is the istighfar reading:

It means:

“I beg forgiveness from Allah the Most Great.” 

Sixth Prayer: Blessings

As with reading the prayer of istighfar, this shalawat is also recommended to be read after carrying out the hajat prayer. Usually reading this shalawat is read 100 times after reading istighfar which is also 100 times.

The reading of the shalawat prayer that can be read is: “Allahumma shalli alaa sayyidinaa Muhammadin shalaatarridhaa wardha an ashaabihir ridhar ridhaa”.

It means, “O Allah, give the gift of welfare to our lord Muhammad, the welfare that is blessed, and is blessed from all friends.”

Seventh Prayer: Tasbih

Through reading this tasbih prayer, we as His servants can glorify Allah SWT because it has the pronunciation ” Subhanallah ” which means Glory be to Allah. Well, this tasbih prayer reading must also be read 100 times.

Eighth Prayer: Hamdalah

The next prayer that can be read after performing the hajat prayer is reading Hamdalah. This Hamdalah reading is a form of gratitude to Allah SWT which reads ” Alhamdulilahirabbil Alamin” , which means ‘all praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. This Hamdalah is also read 100 times.

The Ninth Prayer: The Word of Monotheism

Through the sentence of monotheism which is a sentence that affirms Allah SWT, namely there is no God but Allah SWT. The sound of the tauhid sentence is:

Tenth Prayer: Surah Al-Ikhlas

The Al-Ikhlas prayer, which is usually often recited when performing the obligatory prayer, can also be read when the hajat prayer is finished. This Surah Al-Ikhlas is a surah that is contained in the holy book of the Al-Quran which embodies Allah SWT, reads:

In this surah, starting from the first verse to the last, more or less conveys that as Muslims, we are indeed obliged to always unite Allah SWT. There is only one God, without a mother, father or children. In addition, Allah SWT is also a place for His servants to always depend or depend on. That is, we must surrender all things to Allah SWT, because all the provisions and provisions of our life are in His will. In this mortal world, there is indeed no one who can equal the position of Allah SWT and no one can make partners of Allah SWT.

The Eleventh Prayer: Surah Al-Alaq

If Sinaumed’s wants to read this surah when he finishes performing the hajat prayer, it should be read 11 times, right? Al-Falaq means dawn, so the right time to read it is during the dawn prayer. The following is a recitation of surah Al-Alaq.

Based on the reading and translation of the surah, it can be understood that the God who rules the dawn is Allah SWT. Allah SWT is also the one who is able to split the night into the morning. Not only that, in the surah Al-Alaq it means that we must ask Allah SWT to protect us from all the ugliness of all His creatures on this earth. All of His creatures are diverse, can be in the form of animals, jinns, even fellow humans who pose a danger.

Even more so at night, which is the “right” time for demons to roam around along with the humans and animals that wreak havoc. In the translation of surah Al-Alaq, there is also the sentence “and from the evil of the witch women who breathe on knots”. The point is that we have to protect ourselves from sorcerers who turn out to be not only women, but also men.

The evil we should most avoid is envy which is human nature. Yep, humans who are jealous will always justify any means to get the favors that are owned by other people.

Twelfth Prayer: Surah An-Nas

In addition to surahs Al-Ikhlas and Al-Alaq, there is also a short surah An-Nas which apparently can also be read after performing the hajat prayer. An-Nas means human, so the overall meaning of this surah is about human life. The following is the sound of surah An-Nas:

Thirteenth Prayer: Chair Verse

This chair verse is part of the surah Al-Baqarah which is in verse 255. Its presence is often used as a dhikr to prayer to protect oneself from the devil’s disturbances. If Sinaumed’s wants to read this Ayat Kursi as a closing prayer after performing the hajat prayer, it’s best to read it 11 times, OK?

The Fourteenth Prayer: Hauqolah Reading

Hauqolah reading is actually very important for human life, especially for Muslims. So, here is the Hauqolah reading which should be read 100 times after performing the hajat prayer: “Laa haula walaa quwwata illa billahil aliyyil adziim”

Meaning: “There is no power and no power except with the help of Allah, the Most High and the Most Great.”

Fifteenth Prayer

The fifteenth prayer that can be read after performing the hajat prayer is the reading of Hasbunallah Wanikmal Deputy Nikmal Maula Wanikman Nasir which can be read 100 times. This reading is a remembrance reading which is highly recommended to be read after praying, especially during the hajat prayer. Even though the verse is short, the meaning is very deep , you know, especially about human trust in Allah SWT. The meaning of this reading is: “God is sufficient as a place of self for us, the best protector and best helper for us.”

Things You Need to Know About Prayers of Hajat

What is Hajat Prayer?

The hajat prayer is one of the sunnah prayers which is usually performed when Muslims have a need or wish, whether it is a worldly or an afterlife need. Usually, Muslims who perform hajat prayers are when their intentions or desires cannot be achieved with human strength. Yep, humans really need help from Allah SWT so that their needs can be fulfilled, so they will perform hajat prayers as a form of worship to Him.

This hajat prayer can be carried out with as many as 2 cycles to 12 cycles, which are carried out for a week in a row. In the same way when carrying out other prayer services, in this prayer, we as His servants must humble ourselves before Allah SWT. This is because in truth Allah SWT loves people who humble themselves before Him. Yep, people who humble themselves before Him will be included in those whose prayers are accepted by Allah SWT. The implementation of this hajat prayer can be done at any time, whether morning, afternoon or evening.

The best time to carry out this hajat prayer is one third of the night, which is around 1 am until just before the time for the dawn prayer. However, if you want to do it during the day or at night, you can do it after completing the obligatory prayers.

The basis for the implementation of hajat prayers has been explained in the sunnah fiqh which was mentioned by Sayyid Sabiq by quoting the authentic hadith belonging to Abu Darda ra, that Rasulullah SAW once said: “Whoever performs ablution and perfects it, then performs the two cycles of prayer perfectly then Allah Ta’ I will give him whatever he asks, either sooner or later.” (Narrated by Ahmad)

So, based on this hadith, it is clearly stated that Rasulullah SAW has taught his people to always ask Allah SWT through prayer, if they have a need. In addition to our wishes being achieved, through this hajat prayer it can also make us closer to Allah SWT.

Examples of Desires That Can Be Achieved Through Hajat Prayer

Basically, every human desire or desire is different. Try Sinaumed’s to think about it, what is your wish right now? Well, intention that is not permissible is aimed at hurting other people or even disturbing other people’s lives. Especially because of the nature of envy. So, what are the wishes that can be achieved through this hajat prayer?

1. Healed From Sickness

Actually, the life and death of humans throughout this earth is in the hands of Allah SWT. However, there is nothing wrong if we are sick and then carry out the hajat prayer by asking Allah SWT to lift the disease we are suffering from. Yep, the pain given by Allah SWT is a test that must be lived and becomes a “way” to erase our sins. If you want to recover from an illness, it’s better to carry out hajat prayers accompanied by votive fasts …

2. Get Superior Achievements

For Sinaumed’s who are still in school and want to get superior performance, they can also perform hajat prayers. However, it should be noted that in order to achieve this goal, you cannot just pray, but you also have to study hard.

Likewise, if Sinaumed’s wants to graduate from school or university with maximum results, he can carry out this prayer. Especially if you are working on a thesis exam, the existence of this hajat prayer can be a way for the thesis session to run smoothly. Don’t forget to keep trying to learn …

However, it must also be accompanied by efforts to improve ourselves to become a better person , OK ?

Prayer Facilitates All Affairs – The life that Muslims live is not always as desired or there are even a lot of things that are difficult to solve. Even so, in Islam there is a prayer to facilitate all matters. By reading these prayers, the business at hand can run smoothly.

Then, what are the prayers that ease all matters? In this article, we will discuss more about prayer to make things easier. So, read this article to the end, Sinaumed’s.

Understanding Prayer Facilitates All Affairs

Prayer is a form of supplication to Allah SWT with submission. In Islam, requesting that all affairs be smoothed out there are special prayers. Prayer is one way to ask the Creator. Most of the prayers that are said are directly based on complaints. Even though in fact there is a prayer to ease all matters.

Prayer is an important thing to do by Muslims to beg or ask for everything. No exception in asking for all matters to be facilitated. Allah SWT has the nature of the Most Giver, so whatever you want is good to ask and ask Him through prayer.

Starting from reading the prayer so that all matters related to the world and the hereafter will be expedited. Reading prayers makes things easy for all matters very loved by Allah SWT, because it is a sign of a servant surrendering.

By always practicing prayers, all matters will be facilitated, all confusing matters will be easy to find the right and fast solution. Therefore, you should always practice it and you can pray anytime and anywhere.

It’s not just a matter of sustenance, but also includes all matters that make it difficult and make your heart restless. Every human being is not spared from life’s problems. All the problems that come and go sometimes make despair.

However, as Muslims, when facing life’s problems it is better to surrender to Allah SWT. Apart from that, you can also say a prayer to facilitate all matters and desires.

In addition to maximizing business, the following is a prayer reading to try to ask Allah SWT for convenience. In everyday life, human life is inseparable from the challenges and problems experienced. In addition to trying our best, as servants of Allah, we should also balance it by putting our trust in prayer. As ordinary human beings, we should only pin our hopes on Him to ease various affairs, after we have tried our best.

Allah SWT says namely:

وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُوْنِيْٓ اَسْlection

It means:

“Pray to Me, I will surely allow it for you. Indeed, those who are arrogant and do not want to worship Me will enter the Hellfire in a state of humiliation.” (QS. Ghafir verse 60)

In reading the prayer for the smooth running of all affairs implied a meaning that all matters of servants do not escape the intervention of Allah SWT. Similarly, Allah SWT confirms that those who are reluctant to pray are among those who are arrogant. Actually praying can be done in various languages, because Allah SWT will understand whatever every servant wants.

However, there is nothing wrong with reading Arabic prayers that the Prophet Muhammad taught for a long time. The prayer aims to make all matters easier and smooth. By reading this prayer you will always be calm whenever you face various problems and trials in life.

وَالضُّحٰىۙ وَالَّيْلِ اِذَا سَجٰىۙ مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلٰىۗ وَلَلْاٰخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْاُوْلٰىۗ وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيْكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضٰىۗ اَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيْمًا فَاٰوٰىۖ وَوَجَدَكَ ضَاۤلًّا فَهَدٰىۖ وَوَجَدَكَ عَاۤىِٕلًا فَاَغْنٰىۗ فَاَمَّا الْيَتِيْمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْۗ وَاَمَّا السَّاۤىِٕلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ وَاَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

And by the night when it’s quiet Your Lord has not forsaken you (Muhammad) nor (nor) has he hated you, And indeed, the later is better for you than the first, And indeed, your Lord will surely give His grace to you, so that you will be satisfied.

Didn’t He find you an orphan, then He protected you. And He finds you as a confused person, then He gives guidance, and He finds you as a person lacking, then He gives sufficiency, so don’t act arbitrarily towards orphans. And to those who beg, do not rebuke (him). And for the favors of your Lord you should declare (with gratitude).” (QS. ad-Duha)

Allahumma la sahla illa ma ja’altahu sahla, wa anta taj’alul hazna idza syi’ta sahla.

Meaning: “O Allah, there is no ease except what You make easy. And you make sadness (difficulty), if you will it will be easy.”

An Amazing Time To Pray

In Islam, there are efficacious times to pray. Reporting from the book Prayers for a Broken Heart by Kang Yadi, here are the efficacious times to pray.

1. At midnight (one third of the night) and the end of fard prayer. 

The Messenger of Allah was asked, ” At what time (of human) prayer is more heard (by Allah)?” Then Rasulullah SAW replied, “At midnight and at the end of each obligatory prayer (before greeting).” (Mashabih Assunnah).

2. Between Adhan and Iqamah. 

This is based on the words of the Prophet Muhammad, which reads: ” The prayer between the call to prayer and iqamah is not rejected (by Allah).” (Reported by Ahmad).

3. Between two sermons. 

Both in Friday prayers and the two Eid prayers (Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha).

4. Sahur time in the month of Ramadan. 

Rasulullah SAW said: “Our Lord, Allah SWT, descends every night to the sky of the world in the last third of the night, then says; “Whoever prays to Me, I will grant it to him. Whoever asks Me, I will give him. Whoever asks forgiveness, I will forgive him.” (Narrated by Bukhari Muslim).

Traditional Songs from Central Java – Hello Sinaumed’s friends , since attending kindergarten, Indonesians have been familiar with various kinds of Indonesian songs. However, over time these songs are often forgotten due to the influence of time and are increasingly rarely heard. Regional songs for the province of Central Java in particular, as a province which is known to be very productive and rich in enviable regional songs.

Each region in Indonesia generally has a unique culture. Therefore, Indonesia is also known for its cultural diversity. One of the provinces that has a lot of cultural uniqueness is Central Java Province.

This article will explain a list of Central Javanese folk songs along with their lyrics and meanings. Maybe some of you have heard the name of a Central Javanese folk song but don’t know the full lyrics or maybe you already know the full name and the lyrics, but you are not sure what one of the Central Javanese folk songs means. So all the information given in this article will be of great help to you.

Central Java Regional Song

Indonesia is a country rich in diversity. Starting from the tribe, culture, flora, fauna and others. Even though there are many differences in Indonesia, because of that, Indonesian people can unite and respect each other.

One of the rich characteristics of Indonesia which is still passed down from generation to generation is regional songs. Each region has its own variety of regional songs.

As is the case in Central Java, there are several regional songs, the existence of regional songs in Central Java can also be used as an identity.

As a Javanese, who here has never heard the song Gundul Gundul Pacul , or played the traditional mushroom game, or sang the Gambang Suling song in a regional sound arts class in elementary school?

As you remember, the songs above are Central Javanese folk songs, which are part of the Javanese childhood life.

But of course the art of Central Javanese music is still too broad to be expressed in only three kinds of songs. So, below, we will at least review some of the most popular Central Javanese folk songs, as well as analyze the meanings behind some of the lyrics in the song.

1. The song “Bad-Bad Pacul”

Lyrics:

Who doesn’t know this song? Because the song Gundul-Gundul Pacul is one of the most popular traditional songs in Indonesia. Even though it is classified as very ancient, its existence is not only friendly to parents but also teenagers and children.

At the beginning of its appearance, it was known that the composer of the song Gundul-Gundul Pacul was named RC Hardjosubroto. However, over time, there has been much debate about its creator, with some observers claiming that the creator is Sunan Kalijaga.

The meaning of the song Gundul Pacul tells the story of a Head/Traditional Leader/King who rules authoritarianly, authoritarianly and does not care about his people, so that the tasks he bears are not carried out.

Although classified as a children’s song, this song seems to have a deep philosophical meaning. Philosophically, Bald-Bad Pacul talks about honor, leadership and responsibility.

Bald is a bald head without hair. The head represents honor, while the hair represents the crown and beauty of the head. In this song, the word bald means the honor of not wearing a crown.

The hoe or hoe is a farming tool that symbolizes the common people, especially farmers. The people of Central Java say that the beliung is papat kang ucul (four cowards), it can be understood that one’s honor really depends on how one uses the four senses: eyes, nose, ears and mouth.

This song was used as a vehicle for preaching during the heyday of Walisongo, especially in Central Java and Java Island. The meaning of the song Lir-Ilir is an invitation and advice to all mankind to always worship Allah SWT.

It doesn’t stop there, the moral message of the song Lir-Ilir also invites us to keep up the enthusiasm, be grateful, be patient and put our trust in Allah SWT, whatever we get and what we strive for.

The longest bridge in the world – Thanks to increasingly sophisticated technological developments, the infrastructure development process is getting easier and faster, including the construction of bridges. Based on these facts, it is not surprising that most of the infrastructure such as the world’s longest bridge is located in highly technologically advanced countries such as China and the United States.

Geographical conditions are one of the biggest challenges for the smooth construction of bridges . However, with good structural design and technological advances, the construction of super-long bridges, even hundreds of kilometers, can still be achieved.

Bridges are structures designed to cross rivers, ravines, obstacles, roads and railroads. This bridge construction is used by pedestrians or vehicles to avoid obstacles. During construction, bridges must also be considered for maximum vehicle load as they are an important element of the road section.

Times change and so does technology. Of course, bridge construction is no longer constrained by geographical conditions because bridges can be built anywhere. Even bridges can be built in a very long time up to hundreds of kilometers.

In this article we will describe some of the longest bridges in the world. These bridges are found in several countries and their uses also vary widely. Want to know more about the longest bridge in the world? Come on, Sinaumed’s friends , see the following review!

Definition of Bridge

A bridge is a structure deliberately designed to make it easier for people to cross a chasm or an obstacle such as a railroad, river or highway. Bridges are part of land-based infrastructure built as a means for pedestrians, vehicles or trains to cross an obstacle in order to expedite traffic flow.

The role of bridges is very important in traffic distribution. So do not be surprised if the bridge is an important part of a road section, because the bridge determines the maximum load capacity of vehicles that cross the section.

Bridge History

The first bridge was built using a wooden walkway to cross the river. Many people also use two ropes or rattan ropes tied to rocks by the river to get past the obstacles. After that, the stone was still used but only as a frame.

Bridge gates are generally curved. This design was first implemented during the time of the Roman Empire, and even then there are still many bridges and aqueducts from that time that we know today.

The Romans of that time could distinguish the strengths of the different stones. The type of bridge built from the time of the Roman emperors was the brick and mortar bridge, because after that technology and science started to fade.

Around the 18th century, many reforms in the construction of wooden bridge structures were pioneered by Hans Ulrich, Johannes Grubenmann and several others. With the industrial revolution of the 19th century, technical progress in bridge construction developed through an iron frame system.

Unfortunately, iron does not have sufficient tensile strength to withstand so much weight. The idea of ​​making a bridge with high tensile strength came from Gustave Eiffel which was then applied to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.

This method is most suitable for use on long bridges because it has the strength to support high loads. In addition, concrete also has a much cheaper maintenance cost than iron.

List of Longest Bridges in the World

Several countries in the world seem to be competing to build the longest bridge in the world. The success of bridge construction can be a parameter of a country’s progress in addition to its main function of facilitating human movement. Here are some lists of the longest bridges in the world.

1. Danyang – Kunshan Grand Bridge, Taiwan (165.8 KM)

Kunshan Grand Bridge was the longest bridge in the world at that time. This bridge has a length of about 165.8 km. This bridge has a height of about 31 meters. This bridge is very long, even exceeding the distance from Jakarta to Bandung, which is only about 150 km.

The Yangtze River Bridge connects Shanghai to the Nanjing Railway in Jiangsu Province, China. This bridge is also crossed by high-speed trains from Beijing to Shanghai. It would be nice if the train could cross a river this big with a very long bridge.

The construction of this bridge began in 2006 and was completed in 2010. The construction of this bridge took a long time due to its condition that it crosses the river and the bridge is also quite long, so the construction of this bridge took a long time. Even during the construction of this bridge, up to 10,000 workers were deployed so that this bridge could be made perfectly.

2. Changhua – Kaohsiung Viaduct, Taiwan (157.3 KM)

The second longest bridge in the world is the Changhua-Kaohsiung Viaduct which stretches 157.3 km from Changhua City to Zuoying, Taiwan. The bridge, which was completed in 2007, is the Taiwan High Speed ​​Rail line that crosses a super-wide line. Interestingly, this bridge is specifically designed to be earthquake resistant so that the train can stop safely during the seismic phenomenon.

3. Cangde Grand Bridge, China (115.9 KM)

Like the Changhua-Kaohsiung Viaduct, the 115.9 km long Cangde Grand Bridge is a special bridge for the Beijing-Shanghai High Speed ​​Railway in China.

The structure is made in such a way as to withstand earthquakes. This bridge crosses the Wei River and several other small rivers with 3092 piers which were completed in 2010.

4. Tianjin Great Bridge, China (113.7 KM)

Tianjin Great Bridge, also known as the Langfang-Qingxian Bridge. This bridge is a railway bridge that connects Lan Fang and Qingxian. This bridge is also part of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway.

This bridge is used as the second longest bridge in the world and this record has been recorded by the Guinness World Records. The Tianjin Great Bridge is about 113.7 km long. In 2010, the bridge was completed, but it was not officially opened and opened to the public until 2011.

The design of this bridge with an overpass is made to prevent people from crossing the main road, iron roads and others. In addition, this type of design is used to shorten the construction period. Overpasses are like this so the route uses very little soil. As the railway line takes up 28.4 ha/km of track, the bridge only takes up 10.9 ha, which is only half that of a conventional train.

Then this bridge was also installed with boxes with a length of 32 meters, each of which weighs 860 tons. During the manufacturing process, these beams are produced at two work stations located along the bridge. The beams are then brought to the bridge installation site and then placed on the wharf by special cranes to transport them.

5. Weinan – Weihe Grand Bridge, China (79.7 KM)

The Weinan-Weihe Grand Bridge or also known as the Weinan Grand Weihe Bridge is a bridge located on the Zhengzhou – Xi’an high-speed rail line. This bridge is the third longest bridge in the world. This bridge has a length of about 79,732 km which spans various rivers such as the Wei River which is crossed twice, the Luofu River, the Ling River, the Xi River, the Shi Di River and other rivers as well as railroads and highways.

During construction, the bridge employed 10,000 workers, 2,300,000 cubic meters of concrete and 45,000 tons of steel. With the length of the bridge and the materials used being so critical, the bridge was completed in 2008. However, the bridge only opened on 6 February 2010.

This is certainly part of the plan of the Xulan Dedicated Line , which is a high-speed rail service that provides a route from Lanzhou to Xuzhou. Once completed, this bridge will be used as an alternative bridge for the Longhai Railway. In fact, this bridge will also serve a very dense Chinese population in the Zhengzhou and Xian regions which are the railroad lines. The city has a population of 100 million people.

6. Bang Na Expressway, Thailand (54 KM)

Not only China and the United States are competing to form the world’s longest bridge. It turns out that Thailand also made this infrastructure using the name Bang Na Expressway. This bridge is a 54 km long toll road that stretches over the National Highway 34.

The Bang Na Expressway was specifically designed by Jean M. Muller from the United States who acted as an engineering consultant in an Asian country as a foundation designer. While the engineer responsible for this project is the company Louis Berger Group.

The construction of the Bang Na Expressway bridge spent 1.8 million m3 of concrete which was completed in 2000. The Bang Na Expressway also held the title of being the longest bridge in the world until 2008 before the Danyang – Kunshan Grand Bridge construction project in China was completed.

7. Beijing Grand Bridge, China (48.1 KM)

This bridge is a fast train bridge Beijing – Shanghai High Speed ​​Railway with a length of about 48.1 km. The Beijing Grand Bridge was completed in 2010 and stretches from Beijing South Railway Station to Daxing District, China.

8. Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, USA (38.4 KM)

As the name suggests, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway consists of two parallel bridges spanning Lake Pontchartrain in the state of South Louisiana, United States. This bridge has a length of 38.4 km and is known as the world’s longest bridge over water. The northern end of the bridge passes through Mandeville, Louisiana, while the southern end passes through Metairie, Louisiana, which is located on the outskirts of New Orleans.

Another feature of this bridge is that it is the first bridge to be built using mass-produced construction techniques. Unlike the construction of other bridges that have been built on the spot. So far, the components of this bridge come from casting and are then transported by barge to the construction site. At that time, it was rarely done like that.

This bridge is also included in the longest bridge in the world. However, his title was threatened because of a new bridge in China that crosses the Jiaozhou Bay which is 3 kilometers longer than the Pontchartrain Causeway Bridge.

After learning about this incident, the United States protested to The Guinness World Records which had given the title of the longest bridge in the world to the bridge in China. Then the titles of the two bridges are distinguished. The Pontchartrain Causeway Bridge is given the title of the longest continuous bridge in the world, because it stretches straight to the end without interruption. Meanwhile, the Jiaozhou Bridge has a curved shape, therefore it has received the title of the longest collection of bridges in the world.

9. Line 1 Wuhan Metro, China (37.7 KM)

The next bridge is the Wuhan Metro Line 1 which is about 37.7 km long and is part of the Wuhan Metro Line. The bridge was completed in July 2004, making Wuhan, China the 5th city with a subway system after several other cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

The Wuhan Metro is a rapid transit system with elevated and metro lines. This line serves all the people of Wuhan City, Hubei and its surroundings.

10. Manchac Swamp Bridge, United States (36.7 KM)

Manchac Swamp Bridge is the longest water bridge in the world after Pontchartrain Causeway Bridge. Also, this bridge is also known as 1-55 Manchac Swamp Crossing, which is located in Louisiana. This bridge has a length of about 36.71 km. This bridge was built in 1979 to facilitate traffic across the major river.

The construction of this bridge was carried out in a swamp pushing the bridge supports up to 76 meters into the swamp. The cost to build this bridge reached US $ 7 million per mile.

Apparently this bridge was also made to avoid the swamps under the crocodile nest. So this bridge is designed so that people who see it feel comfortable and safe from crocodiles in the swamp.

11. Hangzhou Bay Bridge, China (35.7 KM)

The Hangzhou Bay Bridge is one of the longest bridges in the world. This bridge has a length of about 35.7 km. This bridge was built at the mouth of the Hangzhou Bay on the east coast of China. This bridge connects the two cities of Jiaxing and Ningbo in Zhejiang province.

The bridge was completed on June 14, 2007, and then held the opening ceremony on June 26, 2007. However, the bridge was not immediately opened to the public. This bridge has been tested and evaluated for approximately one year. Then, on May 1, 2008, the bridge was allowed to open to the public.

The construction of this bridge has a positive value, namely shortening the journey from Ningbo to Shanghai, which was originally 400 km to 180 km, and the travel time has also been reduced from 4 now to 2 hours.

The construction of this bridge uses a cable-stayed bridge. In production choose this form because of the durability of the cable can withstand adverse conditions. In addition to being a very long bridge, the rivers crossed by this bridge have the greatest tidal strength. Even the location on this bridge is prone to earthquakes and hurricanes. Therefore, this form of construction was chosen because it follows the surrounding natural conditions.

In addition, this bridge uses steel piles. Its purpose is that it is strong enough to withstand corrosion caused by very high tides in the bay. The use of steel piles also makes construction easier when conditions are difficult to handle, such as when a big wave knocks down a bridge construction, the bridge will be stronger than using concrete piles.

12. Runyang Bridge, China (35.6 KM)

Runyang Bridge, which in Chinese means Runyang Changjiang Daqiao is a complex and longest bridge in the world spanning the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, China, in Lower Nanjing. The complex is said to have had two bridges connecting the south bank of the river with Zhenjiang and Yangzhou in the north. In the location where the bridge was built, there is Shenzhou Island between the two bridges.

Runyang Bridge is part of the Yangzhou-Liyang Expressway. This bridge was built in October 2000, even earlier than expected. Before this bridge was completed, there was a 24 hour ferry service if you wished to cross the Yangtze River. At that time, if you want to go to Zhenjiang Station from Yangzhou, it will take you up to 40 minutes.

However, until now the ferry service is still working, you only need to pay 5 yuan and wait 5 minutes to receive the goods. According to some locals, ferries run faster to connect the cities of Zheng Jiaying and Yangzhou.

In its construction, this bridge cost 5.8 billion yuan or Rp 9 trillion. After the bridge was completed, it was opened to the public on April 30, 2005. The length of this bridge is about 35.66 km.

Mojito is a typical Cuban alcoholic drink that is usually made of five ingredients, namely white rum, sugar (usually cane sugar), lemonade, sparkling water and mint leaves. This mixture is then crushed finely with a crusher. The mint leaves should only be bruised lightly to release the oils and should not be finely chopped. Then, rum is added and the drink is stirred a little to dissolve the sugar and lift the mint leaves from the bottom of the glass to make it more beautiful.

Then, this drink is added with ice cubes and soda water. Mint leaves and a slice of lemonade were used to decorate the glass. The combination of sweetness, fresh lemon and mint is meant to cover up the rum’s harsh effect. Thus, this drink is very popular as a summer drink in the Western World.

these raindrops wake me up from deep sleep.
My eyes are open.
But suddenly, I long to tell God.

Personification is also a type of figure of speech that is widely used in poetry. Apart from personification, there are many other types of figurative language.

Image

This image is also related to sensing. The words used usually evoke images of the five senses. Therefore, imagery is divided into visual imagery, auditory imagery, feeling imagery and taste imagery.

Dark,
Lately, this world is like a very dark night.
I can’t see colors and can’t feel flashes of light

From the examples of short poems on various themes above, the dominant image that emerges is the image of sight. The first to third lines show visual imagery, while the fourth line shows feeling imagery.

rhyme

Rima is a repetition of sound, both in the lines of poetry and at the end of the lines of each poem. Rima can also present its own beauty to the reader. Examples of short poems with various themes that present rhymes include:

It’s dark,
I’m trying hard to sleep
However, because of missing you, I will then be able to sleep

Examples of Poetry About Nature

The following are some examples of poems about nature that can be used as references when you want to write poetry, including:

Beautiful Dusk

The golden light on the horizon
On the western horizon as the day begins to open
Your eyes widen when you see it
The beauty of the almighty creator

The sun is getting ready to sink.
Picking up the intimate tranquility of the night.
Sipping deep light.
Perfecting the beauty of the night

The beautiful violet looks yellowish.
The color gradation is like a painting.
In the corner of a thin cloudy sky.
The greatest decoration of all time

The Moon Rubs Lukaku

The moon’s sweet smile greets me.
So beautifully blooms my mood.
For a moment
, I am speechless.

Your light radiates away from the darkness
Penetrating the night, presenting light
I enjoy your light, warm my night
, Make this heart cavity that shines

Moon, caress my soul
What is so tense through the day
Wipe the tightness of romance in this chest
Dry this gaping wound in my heart

Moon, looking at you makes me understand
That beauty doesn’t always have to be approached
That beauty doesn’t always have to be owned
But only to be seen and admired

Dusk, Irreplaceable Beauty

The afternoon began to change.
The color of the sky turned orange.
The birds took turns flying in the middle of the orange color that was increasingly melting in the sky.
Anyone who saw it, would be astonished.
Time continued to run.
The orange color slowly eroded.

Pieces of Archipelago Paradise

Still in the morning musings
When the birds say melodiously
Singing a sad chirping
About today’s nature

There lay pieces of heaven
painted in the realm of beauty.
The sky is blue and beautiful.
The clouds follow the wind

Paddy bows down in modesty
Spread on the yellow carpet of the rice fields
The mountain looks dashing, towering, full of power
Green trees line up waiting for the sun

This is my Indonesia, a piece of heaven that God sent to our people.
This is my Indonesia, the beauty of God’s painting etched on the canvas of my country.
This is my Indonesia, a stretch of beauty that decorates my homeland
. This is my Indonesia, a land of pride until death ends our separation.

Cloud

Scattered in the sky
White, gray and black
Beautiful colors
Wavy waves

Thick and very beautiful
Even the bagaskara can’t be seen
The rainbow doesn’t look full
Because the blanket covers it

Far away
Covering the universe
Thick and thin
Circulating everywhere

It’s not artificially beautiful
I want to hug it
Soft and charming
It’s unspeakably beautiful

Ricefield

The rice fields beneath the solid gold
Paddy waving, neglecting to droop
Rise the sound of the sarong chrysanthemum
Cool to hear, reconcile the heart

The river is shining, dazzling the eyes
Spouting rainbow-colored foam
The bathing children are happy
Chasing and shouting for joy

The blue sky is so clean
An eagle is soaring
alone in the air
The rustling of reed leaves
In the wind with affection
A rooster crows in the air

Morning Mountain Panorama

The cold air was very frozen.
The thin fog still spread.
The sun slowly rose
. Its light penetrated the universe.
Birdsong began to be heard.
Accompanying the coming morning.
The atmosphere
was lively . So that
people
were full of
happiness
. breakfast this morning

Mountain Beauty

At the foot of the mountain far away
There is a stretch of rice fields
The color is green It
is soothing to the eye
The wind blows incessantly
Blowing on the faces of the farmers
While cleaning the rice
So that this year’s harvest will be fruitful
Birds are running
From the tops of the branches
Sometimes they tease
Farmers who rests in the Old Shack

Fresh Mountain Air

I spread my hands
At the top of the blue mountain
Looking from a height
The expanse of the earth is full of beauty
I close my eyes I breathe the air I
breathe deeply
In order to fill my chest cavity
I also feel the freshness
This is the nature of the mountains
Very clean and fresh
Far from pollution
That can hurt yourself

The Beauty of Nature in the Morning

I open my eyes
The morning light penetrates the window pane
Fragrant red and white roses bloom
I open the window
I breathe in the fresh air
Seeing the thick mist that still covers the earth
A drop of dew wets the leaves A
beautiful song is heard in the ear
The wind penetrates smoothly through the skin
I see clouds as white as jasmine
And the sky as blue as the ocean.
Now I’m ready to face a new day and the beauty of the earth

Beautiful Forest

Shallow water I walked I
began to dry my wet body
The roots of the trees have eaten the water and the rain is gone
The drought welcomes
For the balance of nature
The melodious birds sing
A new day as a sign
I’m stunned by this cradle
Only mine
For a moment I close my eyes
For a moment I spread my hands
I feel Happiness, cool and happy

Lukaku Wiped by the Moon

I saw the moon’s sweet smile as if it was greeting me.
Her smile looked so beautiful, it made my heart feel like it was blooming.
I was silent

Looking at the beauty of the moon that never gets tired
Its light seems to drive away the dark tonight
I enjoy its light warming my body and my night
And this heart feels happy because it shines tonight
Moon, why are you looking at me like that?
Makes me not understand what he did

That every beauty does not always have to be approached
That beauty does not always have to be owned
But only to be looked at and admired from a distance

Where Is Sustainable Nature Going

In the past, I often saw the green expanse of rice fields under the blue sky.
Left and right of the rice fields,
in the middle of the river. Between the mountains, the sun rises shyly.
But now where?

The muddy soil layer is brown after every rain
Now my soil is gray
I have been looking for my muddy soil for a long time
But why can’t I see it now?
The cypress of life soars high

Home to many animals made by God
Now the fir is not green and shady
Still tall but lots of windows, lots of lights
Why is that?

Frequent floods, frequent landslides
In the west there is smoke which makes neighbors angry.
In the past it was not like that.
Motherland only weeps but is not ashamed.
It’s a shame
that
Mother Earth is not only
sad now.

Beach

On the beach I closed my eyes
Tired didn’t know what to do
Lying on the sand
Decorated with thousands of trash

From the Sky

From the expanse of the sky that is all
dry it comes to you
Growing slowly
Blowing very long
Sweeping the sea

Eternal chunks of land sweeping through the forest!
Keeping the chunks of land! Comes to you
He, the drought is from the Lord, who is ever silent from His hand.
From cold hands and silent greetings.
Who doesn’t look back for a moment.

Examples of effective sentences can be understood as a sentence that has a perfect structure, so that it can be easily understood by others, both in written and spoken form.

Effective sentences can usually be used to convey information or ideas to others. Therefore, if there are people who listen to something, but don’t understand it, it could be that the sentence was not written effectively.

One way to find out if a sentence is effective or ineffective can be seen based on the understanding of the reader and listener. If the reader or listener can convey ideas, feelings, messages, or notifications from the messenger, then the sentence can be said to be an effective sentence.

In this article, we will learn about the terms and examples of effective sentences. However, when discussing examples of effective sentences, it is incomplete if you do not also discuss the terms or characteristics of effective sentences. So, here are examples of effective sentences and ineffective sentences along with their discussion.

15. Ineffective sentences: Anggi goes to the market and Anggi buys vegetables

B. Characteristics of Effective Sentences

Before discussing examples of effective sentences, it’s a good idea to first review the characteristics of effective sentences. The characteristics themselves will be very useful when you want to identify whether a sentence is effective or not.

So, here are the characteristics of an effective sentence, including:

1. Have a Matching Structure

The first characteristic of an effective sentence is that a sentence must have a commensurate structure or structure. The meaning of a self-equivalent structure can be understood if a sentence contains a clear subject and predicate, so that ideas or information conveyed by the writer or speaker can be conveyed appropriately.

Some of the conditions that a sentence needs to have in order to be called an effective sentence are as follows:

a. Have a clear subject and predicate

Having a clear subject and predicate is a requirement for an effective sentence. The thing that needs to be done when making effective sentences is to avoid using prepositions before composing the subject of the sentence.

For example such as: in, in, for, for, on, as, about, regarding, according to, related, and so on.

– Examples of ineffective sentences: For all examinees it is expected to be present on time.

– Example of an effective sentence: All examinees are expected to be present on time.

b. There are no double subjects

An effective sentence is not allowed to have two subjects. Two subjects in a sentence can cause the delivery of information or ideas that are not focused on the reader or listener.

Example :

Ineffective sentence examples: I was assisted in preparing the final report by my employees.

Example of an effective sentence: In compiling the final report, I was assisted by employees.

In the first sentence, there are two subjects namely ‘the preparation of the report’ and ‘I’.

c. Don’t use conjunctions

Conjunctions can cause a sentence to be difficult to understand by readers or listeners. Therefore, the use of conjunctions should be used only as needed.

– Ineffective example sentences: We missed the bus. so we came a bit late.

– Examples of effective sentences: We missed the bus. Therefore, we arrived a bit late.

d. Do not use the word ‘which’ to precede the predicate

The use of the word ‘which’ in a sentence can make the structure of the sentence lose the function of the predicate.

– Examples of ineffective sentences: Our school is located behind the East Java Governor’s Office.

– Example of an effective sentence: Our school is located behind the East Java Governor’s Office.

Sentences that meet the equivalence requirements of structure can make an idea or information conveyed more easily. Of course this will also make it easier for readers or listeners to understand it. Structural equivalence ultimately prevents speakers and listeners or readers and writers from understanding effectively.

2. Has a Parallel Shape

The second feature of an effective sentence is that it must have a parallel form. Parallel itself can be interpreted as parallel. This means, if a sentence has the first form, namely a noun.

Then the next sentence must also have a noun form. This method can also apply to sentences whose first form uses a verb. As a result, the next sentence must have a form that uses a verb as well.

Ineffective sentence examples: The final stages of building completion were wall painting, lighting installation, water distribution system testing, and spatial planning.

The sentence above cannot be called an effective sentence. This is because the sentence does not have a parallel form. In making effective sentences that fulfill the conditions of form parallelism, a word that has a function as a predicate does not have the same form.

Therefore, in order for the sentence to be effective, the predicate can be changed so that it becomes a full noun.

Example of an effective sentence: The last stage of completing the building is wall painting, lighting installation, testing of the water distribution system, and spatial planning.

3. Have a Frugal Word

The third characteristic of an effective sentence is having a word that is frugal. Sentences that have the word thrifty are sentences that are arranged without using many unnecessary words, phrases or other forms.

Some ways you can do to construct sentences that save words are as follows:

a. Eliminate subject repetition

A word-saving sentence means that the subject only needs to be used once in one sentence. Therefore, if the sentence you make has two subjects, then you only need to mention it once and don’t need to repeat it.

– Ineffective sentence examples: Because he was not invited, he did not come to Nina’s house.

– Example of an effective sentence: Because he was not invited, he did not come to Nina’s house.

The thing to note from the two example sentences above is that there is no repetition of the word ‘he’.

b. Avoid synonyms in one sentence

Word-saving sentences mean that in one sentence it is enough to use only one word with one meaning. If in one sentence there are two words that basically have the same meaning or are commonly referred to as synonyms. Then, you only need to use that one word ineffectively.

– Ineffective sentence example: Since this morning he just wrote his name.

– Example of an effective sentence: Since morning he just wrote his name.

The use of the words ‘since’ and ‘from’ are words that have the same meaning or synonyms, so that in an effective sentence you only need to use the other ineffective.

c. Pay attention to plural words

Sentences that save words, namely the absence of the addition of words that already have a plural meaning. Therefore, when you find a plural word in a sentence, you don’t need to add another word that has a plural meaning.

Example :

– Examples of ineffective sentences: Ladies and gentlemen, please come on stage.

– Example of an effective sentence: The audience is asked to come on stage.

The use of the word ‘audience’ in a sentence basically already has a plural meaning, so there is no need to add the word ‘all’ after the word audience.

d. Avoid using superordinate in word hyponymy

Word-saving sentences are sentences that have only one word hyponymy.

– Example of an ineffective sentence: National exam participants must wear black pants.

– Example of an effective sentence: National exam participants must wear black pants.

In the principle of saving words, excessive use of words in constructing sentences can make a sentence seem long-winded or too long. Submission of the desired information will be difficult for listeners or readers to understand. Therefore, in compiling sentences, it is enough to use only a few words that are only needed, so that it can be called an effective sentence.

4. Accuracy of Reasoning

The fourth requirement for an effective sentence is the accuracy of reasoning. Accuracy of reasoning has an important function because it can prevent double meanings when reading sentences.

Therefore, in order for a sentence to have the accuracy of reasoning, you need to pay attention to the choice of words in constructing the sentence.

Ineffective Example Sentences: The famous college student received a gift.

The sentence above can lead to multiple interpretations or multiple meanings by the reader. This is because there are unclear words related to famous students or famous colleges.

There are two forms you can take when you want to change the sentence to make it clearer and more effective.

The famous student received a prize.

You can use this sentence form if you want to convey information that the student is famous. The use of the word ‘university’ can be omitted and does not need to be mentioned. This is because it is common knowledge that students definitely study at universities.

The student of the famous college received the prize.

You can use this sentence form if you want to convey information that the university is famous. The method of preparation is almost the same as described above.

6. Language logic

The fifth requirement for an effective sentence is that it must have logical language. The logic of language in a sentence can be understood as the ideas contained in a sentence can be accepted and understood by reason. In addition, the logic of language can also be seen from the way of writing that is appropriate or not with the applicable spelling.

Ineffective sentence examples:

a. We welcome the time and place.

b. The woman’s body that was found previously often walked back and forth around the market.

The two sentences above are illogical. Try to pay attention, okay. In the first example, what time and place is required, anyway? Where do you want the time and place to go? Then in the second example, when the corpse was pacing the market? Isn’t it scary?

Effective sentence examples:

a. Mr Lurah, we welcome you.

b. Before she died, the woman whose body was found was often pacing around the market.

In the first example, replace the word ‘time and place’ with the subject (a person) who will be given a time and place to speak, namely Mr. Lurah. Whereas in the second example, change the subject to ‘woman’, not ‘female corpse’. After that, add the word ‘before death’ to clarify when the woman was pacing the market.

7. Using Standard Spelling and Language Rules

How to compose effective sentences in Indonesian can be done based on the General Guidelines for Indonesian Spelling (PUEBI) or the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI).
Ineffective sentence examples: My father fought for his career well.

If based on PUEBI, then the sentence is considered ineffective. This is because the use of the word ‘career’ is not in accordance with the correct spelling. The correct spelling is ‘career.’

Example of an effective sentence: My father fought for his career well.

In Law Number 41 of 1999, forest is defined as an ecosystem unit in the form of a stretch of land containing living natural resources with a predominance of trees in their natural environment and cannot be separated from one another. In addition, forests have a crucial role in preventing climate change.

Reporting from forestdigest, forest is open land that has various types of trees and other vegetation. Then humans can directly experience one of the functions of the forest as a provider of life-supporting water. Forests scattered around the world can be found in tropical and cold climates.

As a water catchment area, forests play an important role in preventing natural disasters such as floods. It can be concluded that the forest is a living community of biological nature in the form of a field where trees grow as a whole.

As capital for national development and international investment, forest resource conservation has strategic value and real benefits for life. The real benefits that are present are in the form of ecological, socio-cultural, and economic benefits.

To achieve real benefits, forests need to be taken care of, managed and utilized in a sustainable manner. Indonesia as a large country has allocated 63% of its land area as forest areas. This amount is equivalent to a land area of ​​120.6 million hectares.

The forest is divided into three parts based on its function, namely conservation forest, protection forest and production forest. Conservation forest is a forest area with certain characteristics. Conservation forest has the main function of preserving plant and animal diversity.

Indonesia has conservation forests covering an area of ​​22.1 million hectares consisting of nature reserves, wildlife reserves, national parks, grand forest parks and nature tourism parks. A forest area designated by a community or government as a protected nature reserve is called a protected forest. As the name suggests, protected forest is a forest area that has the main function of protecting life support systems.

As a large country, Indonesia allocates 29.7 million hectares of protected forests to carry out its functions in regulating water management, controlling soil erosion, preventing floods, maintaining soil fertility, providing food supply for human life, maintaining germplasm, and preventing seawater intrusion. .

The state specifically manages protected forests in order to protect the ecosystems and natural resources in them. While production forest can be interpreted as a forest area that is maintained to produce forest products for the benefit of the community. The production results include industry and exports.

Indonesia allocates 68.8 million hectares of production forest to produce timber in a sustainable manner. Production forests require good management and cutting levels which are balanced by replanting or reforestation.

The presence of forests has a positive impact on humans, the environment and other living things. So, the distribution of forests throughout the earth has a clear reason. There is a mutually influencing relationship between forests and humans, both positively and negatively.

Forests support the lives of countless species. Humans often do not realize the importance of forests for life on earth. This is reflected through human behavior which has begun to cut down millions of hectares of natural forest every year.

Deforestation or deforestation has threatened some of the most valuable ecosystems living on earth. Rampant deforestation has also damaged the forest and lost its function as a water supplier for the community.

Ignorance that goes with ignorance makes people underestimate how important forests are for all living things on this planet. Humans must be wise by learning more about the benefits of forests for life to help things get better.

Deforestation or deforestation that is rampant throughout the world requires humans to return the goodness of forests to the earth. Forests occupy a position as a key instrument that plays an important role in the life of creatures on earth. sinaumedia.com has summarized the essential benefits of forests for life on earth. Check out the following reviews.

Benefits of Forests for Earth’s Life

1. Helping Living Things Breathe

The presence of a forest as a field where trees grow has the benefit of helping living things breathe. Forests give off the oxygen we breathe and absorb the carbon dioxide we exhale.

Forests provide oxygen which is the main source of air quality. A study says that an adult tree can produce oxygen supply for 2-10 people per day.

Forests are said to be the largest supplier of oxygen on the earth’s surface. It is not surprising that forests have earned the nickname the lungs of the world.

2. Keeps the Earth Cool

The ever-increasing carbon dioxide emissions are causing global warming. This also makes the earth warm. Absorbing carbon dioxide which triggers global warming is one way for trees to beat the heat.

Plants in the forest certainly need a certain amount of carbon dioxide to carry out photosynthesis. Forests rich in trees are able to fight global warming and thick air on earth just by breathing. Then forests will keep the earth cool by storing carbon dioxide in their leaves, wood, and soil for centuries.

3. Make Rain

As a complex ecosystem, forests are able to absorb water and release the excess into the air. Extensive forests are capable of creating microclimates and influencing regional weather patterns. For example, the Amazon rainforest can produce atmospheric conditions that promote regular rainfall.

4. Against the Flood

Forest as a water catchment area can prevent flooding. Tree roots are the main ally in accommodating heavy rains for lowland areas. Forests as an ecosystem unit can help soil absorb flash floods, reduce soil loss, and reduce property damage by slowing down the flow.

5. Maintaining and Maintaining Soil Fertility

The benefits of the forest are not only to fight floods, but all the plants in it play an important role in fertilizing the soil. The leaves in the forest will fall, then rot, and decompose on the surface. This process helps maintain and maintain soil fertility. Fertile soil conditions can facilitate the processing of tree planting again.

6. Blocking the Wind

A group of trees in a forest can serve as a windbreak and support for wind-sensitive plants. Then the wind conditions that are not too much in the forest make it easy for bees to pollinate.

7. Cleaning Dirty Soil

Apart from blocking winds, forests are also useful for cleaning certain pollutants using phytoremediation. A group of trees in the forest is able to degrade and secrete harmful poisons.

8. Cleaning Dirty Air

Small ornamental plants in the yard can clean dirty air. Moreover, forests can clean up air pollution on a much larger scale. Trees are able to absorb various pollutants in the air, from carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide.

9. Giving Living Beings Food

Furthermore, forests are useful for providing food supplies for living things. Trees in forests are capable of producing seeds, sap, fruits, nuts, edible mushrooms, and berries. Then the presence of forests makes it easier for humans to find game animals, such as deer, turkeys, rabbits, and fish.

10. Healing Living Things

Forests are able to provide a number of natural remedies for living things. The cocoa tree contains theophylline which can be used as an asthma drug. Then the eastern red cedar needle compound is able to combat drug-resistant bacteria.

Traveling to the forest on foot also offers health benefits, such as reducing blood pressure, relieving stress, and boosting the immune system. Trees release a number of airborne compounds called phytoncides.

These compounds are believed to be able to increase the natural killer cells of infection and tumors. In addition, mangroves play an important role in providing antibiotics for the pharmaceutical industry.

11. Creating Jobs

About 1.6 billion people depend on forests for their livelihoods. The UN says that 10 million people are directly employed in forest conservation. In addition, forests produce timber and non-timber products, which account for around 1% of global gross domestic product.

12. Fulfilling Human Needs

Forests provide organic infrastructure that is essential for life. Humans have used forests as a renewable resource to make things. Humans use forests to meet their needs, from paper, furniture, houses, to clothing.

13. Prevent Erosion and Landslides

A group of trees in the forest is able to prevent erosion and landslides because the roots grip the ground firmly. The strong gripping roots function as a binder for soil grains. The presence of forests keeps rainwater from falling directly on the ground.

Rainwater will fall on the surface of the leaves or be absorbed into the soil. Then the forest as a water catchment area is able to absorb excess water to prevent landslides.

14. Cooling the Atmosphere

The indirect benefit of the forest is to cool the atmosphere. The presence of the forest is able to create an important shade for various life on the forest floor. Like the urban forest, which can make the temperature and atmosphere of the city cooler and cooler.

15. Storing groundwater

Forests as water catchment areas are often thought of as giant sponges. Forests are able to capture excess water and absorb it into the ground. The falling water will flow through the roots of the trees, then drip or seep into the aquifer. In this way, groundwater supplies will be replenished for drinking, sanitation and irrigation purposes.

16. Protected Areas and Tourism

Protecting various rare animals and plants is one of the functions of the forest. In addition, forests are also useful as research objects. Indonesia has a tourist forest area that is maintained specifically for tourism purposes. In the tourist forest, Sinaumed’s can see the beauty of nature, the richness of flora and fauna for recreational purposes.

Branding Strategy – Hello, Sinaumed’s friends . Are you the owner of a company that has not yet developed a branding strategy ? Brand or brands are things that customers talk about when using a product. It is what gives the product an identity, makes it recognizable and helps build the emotional bond between the company and the consumer.

But a brand is more than just a name, logo and tagline. It is the experience that the customer has when buying the product, the consumer has when using the product and the target market’s perception of the company, product or service. Perhaps you are aware that there are millions of similar products today. Therefore, the existence of a brand is an identity that can distinguish one product from another.

Meanwhile, branding is a communication activity in creating a character or identity with the aim of differentiating one product from another. Branding is needed to create or maintain a product image in the eyes of consumers.

When the brand image is strong, consumer trust will be attached to the product. However, this cannot be achieved if you do not apply the right and correct branding strategy. Come on, see reviews about branding strategies for business success.

What is Branding Strategy ?

When you want to buy something, you will definitely think of some well-known brands. For example, when you want to buy a new cellphone, it is usually always identical to several well-known cellphone brands that have been sold in Indonesia.

When you hear about a brand new phone that you don’t know, you tend to hesitate to buy it. This illustration is an example of the success of a brand in branding its brand name and product.

Branding is the process of researching, developing and implementing company-specific characteristics so that consumers can associate a brand with the company’s products or services. The brand also plays a role as an attraction offered to consumers to be tempted to buy it.

With the right strategy, branding can be a way to compete with business competitors. Branding is an effort to present corporate values ​​to consumers. This is broken down into many aspects, such as the name, logo, trademark, tagline, slogan to the use of special colors.

In essence, branding aims to convey the uniqueness of a business to its target market. Branding is most successful when a brand is strong enough to be remembered by people. For example, Indomie, which some people identify with instant noodles, even though there are products from different brands, but they are still called Indomie. This is an example of building a consistent positive branding image.

Branding is needed to create or maintain a product image in the eyes of consumers. When the brand image is strong, consumer trust will be attached to the product.

The Importance of Branding Strategy

With many companies offering similar products with little or no difference, today’s market is driven by perceptions and emotions.

In fact, according to a study by HBR, over 64% of customers form a relationship with a company based on their shared values. Having a branding strategy in place will help you build those types of relationships.

In addition, the branding strategy is also important for:

• Load corporate identity and company offerings.
• Differentiate the brand from its competitors in the market.
• positioning the desired brand to create favorable perceptions and generate more revenue.
• Communicate more effectively, because it creates identifiable products, defines unique brand messages, and helps develop communication strategies.
• Develop a marketing strategy because it is much more difficult for companies to market products without a brand.
• Building a favorable corporate image in the minds of customers.
• Develop brand equity – the value, beyond the product’s regular price, that customers are willing to pay simply for a product to be associated with a particular brand.
• Establishing the company’s mission and vision as a brand .
• Develop happier and stronger relationships with employees, as they feel more motivated to work with established brands.

How to Develop a Branding Strategy

Unlike a decade ago, people are focusing more on branding than ever before.

If you ask established companies how important it is to develop a branding strategy today, you’d be surprised at how much money they invest in it.

According to the 2019 State of Brand Report, 66% of marketing decision makers plan to invest more in branded visual content creation than in 2018.

Building a brand and developing a brand strategy is not an easy process. It can take months (or even years) of research and analysis to finally understand how the intended customer perceives the brand. And even more difficult for beginners. But don’t worry, here’s a complete guide to simplify the process of developing a branding strategy for your business:

 1. Create a memorable logo

Referring to one of the world’s sports brands, namely Nike, you must be familiar with this. Nike is one of the market leaders, whose reputation is widely recognized around the world. One of the hallmarks of this brand is that its logo looks like a tick.

Surprisingly, this logo turned out to be so memorable and so associated with the brand. You can recognize Nike products just by looking at the logo without having to read the entire brand image. Even the Nike logo was then often twisted by KW and counterfeiters. Even so, from the play, you can already tell which brands are KW and original. Learn from Nike, create a branding strategy by creating a logo that is unique, simple but easily recognizable.

2. Enter value into the product

The second lesson to be drawn from the branding strategy example is that of the Hermès company. This brand has a good strategy, incorporating exclusive value into each of its products. Until now, Hermès was not only seen as a bag, but a reflection of many things.

Starting from the user’s economic status, reputation, prices above the average, and component quality internationally. This example of Hermes’s brand strategy reflects a good brand model, so as to highlight the product’s uniqueness in the market. Reality proves that, in whatever form, as long as there is the Hermes brand, people will automatically think of the exclusivity and class of the product.

3. Be innovative

Apart from Honda, in Indonesia there is another product with a strong brand, namely Softex. Until now there are still many people who use the name Softex as a substitute for pads.

For example, if you want to buy softex from the Charm brand or if you want to buy softex from the Laurier brand. Although both are brand competitors. However, because Softex has a good brand image, the brand continues to resonate and is used as an umbrella term for various products.

The branding lesson that can be learned from Softex is that being the first product maker gives you a huge advantage to advance your branding strategy. Of course, this strategy requires maximum creativity and innovation.

4. Take advantage of PR campaigns

Have you ever bought a Pepsodent product with the intention of giving boxed rice to those in need? Or do you choose Ades brand mineral water to donate to plastic waste recycling?

So the two examples above are examples of PR campaigns, namely campaign activities that aim to provide a certain value to the product. Here, the campaign aims not only to attract consumers, but also to create meaningful engagement.

So, a brand is not only remembered as a hollow product, but with the right purpose and motivation for consumers. These are some examples of good branding strategies that you can try and modify according to your business needs.

5. Define aims and objectives

Like a marketing strategy, the development of a branding strategy is driven by intent or purpose. This could be a new business looking to make a name for itself in the marketplace, an existing business looking to expand its product line, or an established business looking for strategies to expand its existing brand or add other sub-brands to its brand.

To find goals, answer these two questions:

• What do you want your brand to do for your business?
• How would you like to describe your offering or business to your target market?

When it comes to branding , no single strategy can cover all needs. Therefore, it is important to know what you are building a strategy for before you proceed.

6. Introspection

Once the goals are defined, it is important to do some corporate content and the offers have to be flagged. Focus on the why (vision), what (mission), and how (values) of the business and try to link the branding goals to the overall business goals. If a branding strategy is being developed for a product, focus on features and find a unique selling proposition and value proposition that you can leverage. Usually, branding positioning strategies are derived from these two factors.

7. Target market research and competitors

The next step is to focus on who will buy your offer. Create buyer personas and target your target audience by answering the following questions:

• How old is your ideal customer?
• How much does he earn?
• What is the job?
• Is your product a need, want or luxury for him?
• Why did they choose your product over your competitors?
• To answer the last question, you also need to do a competitive analysis.

Answer questions about your competitors by answering the following questions:

• Who currently serves your target audience?
• What is the USP of their product?

•  What makes customers choose them over others?
• How do they market their brand?
• Do they have a single brand strategy or a multi-brand strategy?

8. Find brand barriers

When analyzing the internal and external environment, you have to come across many constraints in terms of target audience and competition. Combine these barriers with others regarding market conditions, government policies, and other factors that could hinder the successful positioning of your proposed brand and how to eliminate them.

Develop a comprehensive strategy to define your brand. A comprehensive branding strategy aims to give identity to everything your company produces and represents. This usually involves:

• Associate attributes with the brand – name, logo, color.
• Define brand goals
• Develop brand identity, brand personality and brand voice
• Include a brand message
• Develop brand associations
• Focus on brand consistency, flexibility and emotionality

9. Find the perfect positioning strategy

An effective positioning strategy is based on how you position your brand in the market. Positioning results from finding the perfect space that the brand can occupy in the target customer’s brain relative to its competitors’ characteristics and positioning strategies.

10. Promotion

A brand is always built in the eyes of customers. Once a company has successfully developed a strategy for how customers want to see it, the next step is to promote the same strategy.

Brand promotion is an important part of branding strategy because it informs, reminds, persuasively persuades, and causes buyers to direct their purchasing decisions in favor of the brand.

11. Have a website

As Nike Products shows in the example above, social media is a tool for growing your business. However, no company branding effort is complete without creating a website.

Why website? In a study by Verisign, 88% of companies agree that having a website makes it easier for consumers to find the products we have. This is because the habits of buyers have changed due to the increasingly sophisticated times. Currently, 82% of them search for the desired product or service through Internet sites.

Many small and medium businesses have built their success with the help of websites. For small and medium enterprises, we mean individual companies with not too large capital and income, such as Makaroni Ngehe and Kampung Souvenir.

The Balinese accessories and robe business can now earn up to IDR 400 million per month. Indeed, thanks to its website as an online shop, the company has attracted foreign consumers. In addition, Kampung Souvenir uses a logo and tagline as seen in the screenshot of the website’s main page.

If you want your business to be quickly recognized via the Internet, Follow Kampung Souvenir is the solution.

By adding information, you don’t always have to create an online store website to sell. All you have to do is use your business profile to showcase the products or services you offer.

Your business website should have easy-to-understand content that showcases the uniqueness of your brand. Not to mention, your website design must follow predefined branding standards.

12. Collaborate

As social beings, humans cannot live alone, and neither can businesses. As a company activist, you must be able to cooperate and collaborate with others. In fact, this method can improve your company’s brand image if the strategy is used on target.

You can do this in several ways, such as by combining bundles with other brand products at attractive prices. Partner with other brands for discounts or promotions, or even collaborate to introduce new products to reach the audience of two related brands.

13. Brand Voices

You surely know this expression “Just Do It!” , “My taste” , or “Good Chicken” . Most people who hear this expression will immediately recognize the brand in question. In fact, you can memorize the tone of the sentence.

The tagline is a successful example of implementing a brand voice strategy. Indeed, the majority of consumers will immediately remember and recognize the brand in question only through its jargon or tagline. According to 99designs, a brand voice is a means of communicating with customers and is defined by a unique communication style.

A branding strategy can target customers with any communication style, as long as it embodies the values ​​and characteristics of your business.

14.Digital marketing

Due to the pandemic, seminars that are usually held in person and attended by many people have now become webinars.

Webinars, like webinars in general, are only conducted online via zoom meetings. This brand strategy is implemented by many businesses to exist and convey their business messages.

Webinars can be a weapon for executing brand strategies. You can invite inspirational speakers who talk a lot about the sustainable industry with your business. That way, the audience will be more interested if the topic and discussion are in accordance with their wishes.

15. Brand Imagery

According to Snowball, brand image identifies a brand through the image it uses. In this case, images can appear in various forms, such as illustrations, print media, and social media content.

This branding strategy is all about how customers see your brand. Brand image also describes the product in a visual display that is easy to remember. For example, when you see a yellow fast food logo forming an M symbol, of course you already know which restaurant isn’t it?

Traditional Balinese Weapons – Bali still has traditional weapons which are still very well preserved. As we know, Bali still has a very strong culture, either as the identity of the people or the values ​​that are still upheld by the people until now. Bali is an area with many cultural characteristics, one of which is traditional weapons.

Currently, Balinese traditional weapons have shifted slightly and changed their function from their original function. Guns were originally a tool for self-defense and hunting wildlife, but are now rarely used. So far, traditional Balinese weapons have only been used in various Balinese rituals. The following is a list of traditional Balinese weapons that Sinaumed’s needs to recognize and know:

List of Names of Traditional Balinese Weapons

In practice, these traditional weapons in Bali have their own history and function. But now almost all of these traditional weapons function as tools for rituals or matters related to culture, such as the following traditional Balinese weapons:

1. New Elephant Kiris

The Ki Baru Gajah keris is a traditional Balinese weapon presented by Dang Hyang Dwijendra Saka in 1411. This keris is believed to be a keris that can bring prosperity to the Balinese people. Therefore, the Nglisah traditional calendar takes place every June (the Christian calendar) or the 210th day of the Balinese calendar.

The Nglisah tradition is a hereditary tradition that aims to purify the Keris. Cleaning is done by applying coconut oil to each Keris blade. The tradition is preserved as a form of respect and worship to the kris god known as Hyang Pasupati.

The Ki Baru Gajah keris is also trusted by the Balinese to help control all types of plant pests and ensure agricultural fertility. That is what makes this keris respected by the people of Bali. That is why the Ki Baru Gajah keris is closely related to various traditional ceremonies in Balinese culture.

2. Keris Tayuhan

The Tayuban keris is a dagger that comes from the culture of an ancient kingdom, namely the Majapahit kingdom. The Balinese see Keris as a symbol and identity. Not only that, the keris also has a high sacred value. As a result, the Tayuban Keris is always cared for both in terms of maintenance and storage. On the other hand, in terms of its function, the Tayuhan Keris is usually used as a means of self-defense, especially during times of war.

But over time, the function of this keris is to become an heirloom with various decorations such as decorations on the handle, blade and scabbard. The Tayuhan Keris is usually cleaned during the annual turnover and other religious ceremonies in Bali. Keris Tayuhan is the name given to a Keris made for supernatural powers (luck), not beauty.

This keris is often cleaned by Balinese people at New Year’s ceremonies and other religious ceremonies. Usually this type of keris has a haunted impression and carries an aura that is sometimes frightening, so it is often purified or purified. So do not be surprised if the care and storage of this keris is always a consideration.

3. Balinese Kris

Keris is a traditional weapon from Java. Including the place where the Bali region was first taken over during the Majapahit Kingdom, so that it was also influenced by its culture. So the Balinese started making Keris in 1343 to be exact. Balinese Keris and Javanese Keris were of different sizes, where the Javanese type of keris tended to be smaller in size.

Meanwhile, the Balinese keris is slightly larger in shape, which has a different ornament on the keris sheath. Not only the size and sheath, but also the shape of the handle design. The handle of the Balinese keris is more complicated than the handle of the usual Javanese type of keris.

The similarity between these two kerises is that the keris curves are made during the manufacturing process, but the number of Javanese keris curves must always be odd. This also happens when making Balinese keris, where a perfect keris must always have odd curves. Because the shape of the Keris itself contains elements of its own philosophy.

4. Panambad

The Panambad weapon is a traditional weapon that was born in Bali and has various advantages according to needs. For example, it is used to cut bamboo and cut grass. Panambad has a simple shape and is not much different from a knife. The only difference was the length of the blade, which was much longer than a typical modern knife.

The algae themselves are made of wood and are very easy to find. This weapon is still valid today, because it is always used by Balinese people in all walks of life. Penampad is a traditional Balinese weapon shaped like a long sword like a knife and is often used to clear the grass on the slopes of the rice fields (Garengan). The Panambad Weapon is not a weapon intended for war or combat.

5. Trident Bali

Trisula is a traditional Balinese weapon that has three very sharp spearheads. The name Trisula comes from the Sanskrit word Tri which means three and Sula which means spear. On the other hand, the Trident weapon can help stab or injure enemies in hand-to-hand combat. The advantage of the Trident is its undoubted sharpness.

Even this traditional weapon allows each spear head to enlarge the wound on the victim’s body. The weakness of the Trident Spear is that this weapon is not strong enough to deal with enemies at medium to long distances. As a result, the user of the weapon would not be able to accidentally throw something like a javelin.

The Trisula weapon is also known as one of the Trimurti, the weapon of Lord Shiva. The Balinese who are loyal to the Hindu-Buddhist religion make this weapon, so they have a special character in their hearts. The trident is Shiva’s main weapon which is one of the three main gods (Trimurti) which was often worshiped during the heyday of the Hindu-Buddhist kingdom in Java.

As in Roman and Greek pagan religions, the sea god Poseidon (Neptune) always had a Trident weapon. In ancient Greek culture, the god Poseidon who has a trident is the main god and no less important than the god Zeus.

6. Wedhung

Wedhung is a traditional weapon which is a symbol of the willingness to serve a subordinate to his boss or employer. Meaning, when a subordinate married her, it could be considered as a pledge of allegiance to his superior until the end of his life.

Wedhung traditional weapons are also found in the Cirebon area. The difference lies in the sculptural motifs. The Wedhung weapon from Bali has patterned eyes, but the Cirebon Wedhung does not have this motif. The Wedhung weapon is a forged metal dagger or knife with a wooden handle.

Usually a little bigger. The length of this weapon is about 38 cm. The function of this traditional Balinese weapon is also increasingly shifting. Because of its unique motif, Balinese Wedhung is currently widely used for decoration or weapons in traditional ceremonies. In ancient times, this weapon was commonly used by the community as a weapon of war and fighting against enemies, or as a sharp weapon in the kitchen or a tool for cutting meat and other hard materials.

7. Balinese Tiuk Knife

Tiuk knife is a small tool that has artistic value for Balinese culture. This Tiuk Knife is an object that cannot be separated from the style and exotic nuances of Balinese culture. Tiuk knives are usually used for cooking, slicing meat and processing other ingredients.

Although knives have artistic value, small items are always used for everyday household needs. The Tiuk weapon itself is a traditional weapon such as a keris/knife and is very similar to the Wedhung. The difference is, wedhung is usually used by men as a defense in war.

Tiuk is used for cooking utensils, offerings, or other kitchen needs. Tiuk is also simpler than Wedhung. Of course, the function behind all these differences in Balinese daily life is very important.

8. Kandik

Kandik is a traditional Balinese weapon used to chop trees, chop wood, or do something that requires a lot of energy. Kandik is relatively large and heavy, so not all of these people can use Kandik weapons properly. Kandik is a typical Balinese weapon that comes from the Balinese language which means axe.

Judging from its large and heavy shape, this weapon is a royal weapon made of iron or steel and forged for a long time with an unusual process. Here’s how to make a super powerful powerful weapon. Kandik’s distinctive feature was that the hilt was longer than that of an ordinary ax. Kandik is often used for heavy work.

9. Taji or Tajen

The Taji weapon is a traditional Balinese weapon used for cockfighting as the main weapon. To use this weapon tied to a chicken leg as a weapon. Apart from that, this weapon is also commonly used when casting traditional spirits. The ceremony is carried out by shedding animal blood from the slaughterhouse.

The Balinese are no strangers to cockfighting and often use taji as their main weapon in this activity. Using this weapon is very easy. In other words, simply tying it to a chicken leg as a weapon. Apart from being used for cockfights, these spurs are also commonly used in traditional spiritual rituals.

This ritual is carried out by spraying the animal’s blood at the time of slaughter. Until now, this traditional weapon and cockfighting culture has become a common practice and is still associated with the daily life of the Balinese people.

10. Caluk

The Caluk weapon is a traditional Balinese weapon in the form of a curved blade with a long hilt or handle. Long algae have the ability to reach much higher areas with weapons. For example, if you want to harvest fruit or cut high branches.

This weapon is made of iron or copper arranged in such a way as to create a unique shape. The shaft of this traditional weapon is made of wood which is also locked with a very strong copper material. Even though its function sounds trivial, this tool is very useful and important for the activities of Balinese people who are still closely related to farming activities.

Caluk is a traditional weapon that actually exists in other areas, but with different names. Even though it is not a weapon of war, Celuk is one of the traditional Balinese weapons that is still preserved today.

11. Sickles

The Arit weapon is a traditional Balinese weapon which is shaped like a half-circle crescent and is made of strong steel. This weapon has the same shape as Arit Madura, which is a curved blade. The Balinese themselves use sickles when traveling to the fields and gardens to find grass and work in the fields.

Sickles are sharp objects made of strong and sturdy steel. Even though the shape is simple. However, these weapons can be very dangerous. This is because the bend is very sharp. Therefore this weapon had become a weapon of ancient war for the people of Bali. having a sturdy and frightening shape makes this traditional weapon the main weapon of the soldiers.

Apart from Balinese culture, sickle weapons are also found in many other cultures. Like Madura which is commonly called sickle, or in Betawi culture which is commonly called sickle.

12. Blakas

Blakas is a traditional Balinese weapon similar to machetes and kitchen machetes. This weapon is made of steel with a wooden handle. Blakas are usually used for kitchen purposes and can also be used for slaughtering sacrificial animals. With a two-dimensional blade in the sheath, Blakas is one of the best weapon choices.

One blade was very thick and heavy, while the other blade was thin and light. At first glance the weapon resembles a Blakas (Cepot Machete), or people know it as a kitchen machete. This weapon looks very effective for cutting things.

There are two different blades in one scabbard, which is unique, unlike ordinary knives. Besides that, this traditional weapon was also often carried by Balinese people in ancient times as a means of self-protection from enemies or wild animals. Its sturdy, strong and sharp weapons made the Balinese at that time confident if they carried this weapon under their clothes.

13. Spear

The spear is an ancient weapon of war in Balinese culture. Spears are often used by soldiers to act as weapons of war. Spear weapons are displayed in Balinese dance or what is called the Wirayuda dance. This dance is a war dance performed by 2 to 4 dancers with spear weapons. The dance depicts a group of Dwipa Bali warriors preparing to advance to the battlefield.

The spear is a weapon that symbolizes sharpness of heart, and is generally characterized by the weapons of the gods, including Ayuda Dewata at the top. On the islands themselves, spears were used as weapons of war by soldiers of ancient kingdoms. In Balinese history, the spear is depicted in a Balinese dance known as the Wirayuda dance.

Until now, this spear weapon is still widely used in traditional ceremonies because this traditional weapon is still closely related to the people of Bali. That is why we are no strangers to Balinese spears when visiting this area because there are many traditional performances using this traditional weapon.

14. Bow and Arrow

Bows and arrows are the most commonly used weapons among the inhabitants of the archipelago. This includes the Balinese people who are still closely related to their culture. The curved shape of the bow can support the force of the spring, allowing the arrow to glide towards the target or enemy. This weapon is none other than functioning as a weapon of war which is closely related to combat.

The Nature of Light – Does Sinaumed’s like things that are bright and luminous? Exactly, light is an important thing in human life that is used in the needs of daily activities. Humans will definitely experience difficulties if there is no light or lack of light in life, both sunlight and other artificial lighting. Even in some sectors are very dependent and rely on the nature of light. 

Apart from being studied in science subject matter at school, Sinaumed’s also needs to know and understand the properties of light in its function in everyday life. The following is an explanation of the meaning and properties of light that Sinaumed’s needs to see in order to maximize the function of light: 

UNDERSTANDING OF LIGHT

Light is one of the energies that has visible electromagnetic waves with a wavelength of about 380 to 750 nm. Light waves do not need a medium to propagate, which is why light can still propagate even in a vacuum. For example, sunlight can still reach the earth even though it passes through a vacuum in space in a matter of 300 million m/s. 

The sun is called a source of light because it is capable of emitting light waves. Besides the sun, the source of light is fire, torches, lamps, candles, and so on. In the study of physics, light waves are included in the energy group which can be in the form of energy. In this case radiation is a form that radiates outward from a light source but is not a substance in the form of solid, liquid, or gas.  

Isaac Newton once revealed in the Hypothesis of Light in 1675 that light consists of fine particles that radiate in all directions from their point of origin. A light source is an object that can produce light. Based on the source, light is then divided into two, namely light that comes from the object itself and light that emanates from other objects due to the reflection of light from the surface of the object. 

It is from this light source that light then has the characteristics that characterize light as an energy wave that humans need. 

PROPERTIES OF LIGHT

In practice, light as a wave of energy has properties or characteristics that can be used as its purpose and function in everyday life. The nature of this light is different from other forms of energy, such as sound, vibration, and so on. Following are the properties of light that Sinaumed’s needs to know along with examples in daily life activities: 

1. Can Creep Straight

Light can propagate straight if it passes through an intermediary medium that has the same or equivalent particles. The intermediate medium must have the same optical density so that light can propagate straight. The phenomenon that can prove that light can propagate straight is the sun as the largest source of light on earth which has a straight beam. This happens because of the propagation of sunlight to the earth, so there is day and night. 

Besides that, the phenomenon of solar eclipses and lunar eclipses proves that light can propagate straight. In this phenomenon, the sun’s rays are blocked by the moon, making part of the earth dark. An example of the nature of light that propagates straight can also be found by Sinaumed’s in everyday life, namely when a flashlight is facing forward, it will radiate straight according to what we point the flashlight at. 

2. Can Be Reflected Or Reflection

Light can be reflected by emitting light back from the surface of the object that is exposed to light. The nature of the reflection possessed by this light can be divided into two, namely regular reflection and diffuse or diffuse reflection. In the process of regular reflection, light beams will reflect parallel, like when Sinaumed’s played during the day carrying a mirror to reflect light. When directing the mirror in the direction of light, it can be reflected in all directions from the reflected light of the sun. 

While diffuse reflection is the reflection of light that occurs on an uneven surface. For example, the reflection of light on water, rocks, trees, shoes, and asphalt. Mirrors that use the nature of light reflection are divided into flat mirrors, convex mirrors, and concave mirrors. 

3. Can Penetrate Clear Objects

Objects that are clear or transparent can be penetrated by light. Objects that have colorless or transparent particles can be propagated by light easily. This can happen because clear or transparent objects are able to transmit light. For example, clear glass windows cannot block sunlight from entering the house. We can still see out of the glass window because light can still penetrate outside the clear glass and be caught by our eyes. 

4. May Experience Interference

Light can experience interference, that is, it can combine from two or more waves. Light can propagate more than one wave because light is one of the strongest energies. For example, light can travel through air, water, and solid at the same time with different waves. 

5. Can be Refracted or Deflected (Refraction)

Light can be refracted when light moves obliquely through a medium of different density, such as from air then through water, so that light undergoes refraction and deflection in that medium. The nature of light that can be refracted or bent is widely used for various optical devices. An example that Sinaumed’s can find is seeing a pool that looks shallow because the water is clear, even though the pool could have depth.  

Apart from that, Sinaumed’s can also pay attention when swimming and place a stick in the part of the water that is exposed to sunlight, so when viewed from above the stick will appear larger than its original size. Even simpler, Sinaumed’s was able to prove that light has the property of refraction or can be refracted through a clear glass of water where a pencil is placed. Take a look, the pencil will look broken or bent because sunlight passes through the air and water in the glass and it bends in the direction of propagation.

6. Decompose Or Disperse

Light can be described or dispersed naturally, for example like what happens in a rainbow. The color of the rainbow actually comes from only one color, namely the white color of sunlight. Then the color of the sunlight is refracted by the raindrops, causing the rainbow colors to decompose and produce a variety of beautiful colors. The white color of the sun becomes the color of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple light. 

Decomposable light is a form of separation of visible light into light of different colors. An example of decomposition of light other than a rainbow is a prism that is illuminated by a flashlight, so one color of the flashlight will decompose into various colors if it penetrates the prism.  

7. Can Experience Diffraction Or Flexion

Light can experience diffraction or bending in a narrow field. Light waves that experience bending because it propagates towards light that passes through a narrow gap. An example of light that has the property of diffraction is that light can enter the slightest hole in the room. For example, Sinaumed’s can still find light coming into the room even though all corners are closed because light can enter even in narrow gaps. This deflection of diffracted light will create dark and bright areas in certain rooms that are exposed to light. 

8. Can Experience Polarization

Light can also experience polarization, which is to absorb some of the direction of vibration of light so that the light can partially lose its direction of vibration. Light can be surrendered or polarized by propagating in all directions perpendicular to the direction of propagation it has. For example, light can be said to be polarized if it only propagates in one direction. 

9. Absorbable Or Absorption

Light can be absorbed when it enters a transparent material. Some of the light energy will be dissipated or reduced in heat energy. This indicates that the light intensity will decrease or absorption in certain materials. For example, light will more easily pass through a transparent object than through an object that has a denser material. 

10. Has Energy

Light certainly has energy because it can propagate in certain waves and has a mass form, even though it is not a substance, that is, it is not solid, liquid, or gas. The thing that proves that light has energy is sunlight that has a certain heat or temperature that can change certain substances. For example, if Sinaumed’s hangs wet clothes in the sun, then over time the clothes will dry because water evaporation occurs in the clothes due to the heat that comes from the sun. 

The heat that emerges from the sun is also marked by the appearance of the sun’s light itself. Another example is the use of sunlight as solar power as heat and electricity energy that comes from sunlight. 

11. Can Propagate Without Medium

In general, certain energy waves require a medium to propagate, such as sound energy which requires air to propagate and produce sound. In contrast to light energy which can still propagate even though it does not have an intermediary medium. For example, sunlight can reach the earth even though it is very far from the earth and passes through the empty space in outer space. 

If light cannot propagate without a medium, then sunlight will never reach the earth. In addition, Sinaumed’s can still see light in an airtight room, even if there is a gap for the light to shine into the room. 

12. Dualism in nature

Light has the nature of dualism because it can be called both a wave and a particular particle. Light can be called a wave because light does have a certain wavelength. Meanwhile, light is also composed of certain particles that form it, even though they are not substances, such as solid, liquid, and gas. 

Light has particles once revealed by an American scientist named Arthur Compton who revealed that there were collisions between the particles that make up light and certain electrons. The dual nature of light can appear naturally or artificially, namely sunlight and light from lamps due to electricity, light from candles due to fire, and so on.  

13. Can Be Emitted In The Form Of Radiation

Light can be in the form of radiation because it has energy that can be emitted in the form of waves and certain heat without even a medium or intermediary. The proof that light can be in the form of radiation is that light has energy and is a form of heat. For example, Sinaumed’s will feel hot if it is long in the sun or around a lamp, or a high-power laser. We all know that sunlight has radiation which can also be bad for human skin, ie UV rays. 

14. Consists of Various Colors

Does Sinaumed’s know what color sunlight is? Sinaumed’s needs to know that the color of sunlight is white. Actually, there are various colors of light which are then called polychromatic light. Examples of light that has colored properties can be found in the colors of the rainbow, which is the refraction and decomposition of light through raindrops in clouds. 

The light that appears as a result of refraction is called a single light. The resulting light color can no longer be broken down or refracted and is called monochromatic light. Examples of the color of light can be identified by Sinaumed’s from the colors of the rainbow, namely red, orange, yellow, blue, green, indigo, and purple. 

EQUIPMENT THAT UTILIZES THE PROPERTIES OF LIGHT

Based on the understanding and properties of light above, Sinaumed’s can find several tools that rely heavily on the function of the properties of light to run their tools, such as the following:

1. Periscope is one of the equipment commonly used in submarines whose function is to see the situation above sea level at a certain distance, even though it is very far away. This tool takes advantage of the reflective properties of light which can maximize periscope visibility over a very wide expanse of sea.  
2. A magnifying glass lens is a tool usually used to see small objects, for example when you want to repair a watch. This tool is made of a convex lens that utilizes the nature of light reflection or reflection of light on certain objects. 
3. A microscope is an instrument used to view very small objects using a convex mirror or lens. This tool also takes advantage of the nature of light that can be reflected or reflected on certain objects. The microscope is a very important tool in the laboratory world, both physics, chemistry, to medicine and has become a sophisticated tool in current science. 
4. The camera is a tool that relies on the lens for its function of taking pictures and requires the function of light to produce good pictures. Cameras need properties that can reflect light. 

Well, that’s an explanation of light, from understanding to examples and equipment that utilizes the properties of light in daily activities. Can Sinaumed’s recognize the properties of light in everyday life? Sinaumed’s will often encounter phenomena that show the nature of light in the surrounding environment. This shows that humans are very dependent on light energy for daily activities and survival. As a natural phenomenon as well as man-made energy, light can be said to be the source of human life. 

Sinaumed’s can visit sinaumedia’s book collection at www.sinaumedia. c om to obtain references about light. Both for the needs of subject matter in schools and broader forms of prevention. We have even studied material about the properties of light since elementary school science subjects, so now there is no excuse for not knowing the properties of light. The following is a recommendation for sinaumedia books that Sinaumed’s can read about light in science subjects at SD, SMP, SMP, or equivalent: Enjoy studying. #Friends Without Limits

14. Piso Surit Song

Piso Surit Song Lyrics

Piso Surit… Piso Surit…
Stupidly confused.
Lalap I met the Athenian Race

Ija kel liturg amid gundari
I’m nimaisa turang weeping heartbreakingly
Entabeh nari turang my eyes are accursed
Siangna menda turang atena wari

Piso Surit… Piso Surit…
Stupidly confused.
Lalap I met the Athenian Race

Ija kel libabo gundari
Remang mekapal turang keri bergehna
Tekuak manuk turang ibabo thunderous
Enggo me selpat turang kite i let go

Piso Surit… Piso Surit…
Stupidly confused.
Lalap I met the Athenian Race

I don’t know if Dagena is recovering because
I miss Bage’s appearance,
I miss Ari’s appearance.

The meaning of the song Piso Surit

Piso Surit is a song, poem, and regional dance of the Karo people which tells of a man who is waiting for his girlfriend to arrive. The long and sad wait is illustrated by a pincala bird calling.

Judging from the lyrics, this song should have been sung by a man. The song Piso Surit seems to tell the culture of the love relationship between men and women in ancient times. Regarding the title, many people think that piso surit is a kind of knife typical of the Karo tribe.

But actually, piso surit is a term for the sound of a bird that likes to sing, which the Karo people call the pincala bird. If you look closely, the bird’s voice sounds like it’s calling with a sad sound. This bird usually sings in the afternoon with a loud and repetitive sound resembling the sound of a serit knife.

14 Javanese Traditional Houses – Traditional houses are now one of the historic houses. Apart from being a residence, these houses are also evidence of cultural wealth in Indonesia. Not a few traditional houses that are still preserved today.

Java is no exception. Starting from Central Java, East Java and West Java, all of them have traditional houses with their own characteristics. The philosophical meaning of each house also shows the personality of each local community. The following are a number of Javanese traditional houses from each region, along with their characteristics and meanings that are believed by the community.

Central Javanese Traditional House

1. Joglo traditional house

The first traditional house is the Joglo house, which is an icon from Central Java. In ancient times, Joglo houses were made only for the upper middle class. Naturally, because building a Joglo house must meet many conditions.

First, the building materials used are not arbitrary. Joglo is built from various types of wood which are durable, and usually use teak wood. Therefore, the price is not cheap. So that for the lower middle class, on average they cannot afford to buy building materials.

Second, the process of building a Joglo house is also not easy. There are special customary rules that are trusted by the community. Both in terms of the architectural design of the house, to the ornaments or decorations needed for the inside.

Then, the Joglo house also has a wide terrace, and quite a lot of space division. So it will require land that is also quite extensive. The parts of the Joglo house include:

• penda, which is used to receive guests and is located at the front
• Omah Jero, as the name implies, Omah Jero is on the inside and is used to gather and chat with family members
• pringgitan, a place in the middle of the house for entertaining guests from close relatives
• senthong, namely the bedroom, which consists of senthong kiwo, tengen, and tengah
• hermitage, namely a place to carry out worship

2. Limasan House

The second traditional house is the limasan house. As the name implies, this house does have a pyramid-shaped roof. The roof has four sides, and is almost similar to a house from South Sumatra. There are various Limasan houses, such as Gajah Mungkur, Klabang Nyander, Semar Pindohong, and Lawakan.

Generally, Limasan houses are made of red brick without any coating on the outside. The outside was not coated with paint. Well, now there are several modern houses that are made similar to the traditional Limasan house.

3. Pe’s Bake House

The next traditional house which is also unique is the Panggang house. The most recognizable characteristic of this traditional house is the six long pillars that support the roof at the front.

Based on history, this house was used to sell or was called a basic food house. The material used to build Panggang Pe is wood, then the roof is made of tile. There are six types of Pe-baked houses, namely trajumas, concurrent, empyak setangkep, cere gancet, gedang selirang, and gedhang setangkep. You can still find this traditional house, especially in the Yogyakarta and surrounding areas.

4. Village House

Fourth, there is the village house, which is one of the many residential houses used by the people of Central Java. In contrast to the Joglo which is mostly used by middle and upper class people, Kampung houses are more widely used by ordinary people.

Such as farmers, market workers, or breeders. Then based on history, Kampung houses have many types. Among them are Pacul Gowang, Pokok, and Gajah Ngombe. But in general, Kampung traditional houses have their own rules. Namely the poles used must be multiples of 4, with the number of small poles there must be 8.

This house is almost the same as other houses, where the division of the house consists of a living room, family room, bedroom and kitchen.

5. Tajug House

Lastly, there is still a tajug house from Central Java. This house is usually built as a place to worship. Therefore, a tajug house cannot be built by just anyone.

The main feature of Tajug is its square and layered roof. The end of this house is also sharp and will be decorated with a small dome. Like other Javanese traditional houses, tajug also has several types, such as Semar Tinandu, Mangkurat, Lambang Sari, and Semar Sinongsong. If you want to see the tajug house, you can visit the Great Mosque of Demak.

West Java Traditional House

1. Julang Ngapak House

The West Java traditional house that will be discussed first is Imah Julang Ngapak. The roof of this house is similar to a bird flapping its wings, so it is called the hornbill. The top of the house is triangular, then widens at the bottom. As for the two corners of the roof there are fork scissors which function as a preventer of seepage of rainwater.

In ancient times, this traditional house used a roof made from palm leaves of thatch or reeds. Even so, make no mistake, rainwater still won’t seep, and this house doesn’t leak easily. With the development of the times, this house has also been modified a lot. If you want to visit Imah Julang Ngapak, you can look for it in the Tasikmalaya area.

2. Parahu Kumurep Traditional House

The next house that also comes from West Java is Parahu Kumurep. As the name suggests, this Sundanese house comes from the word Parahu which means boat, and Kumurep which means lying down. The name was chosen because the shape of the roof of this Javanese traditional house is indeed similar to an overturned boat, where the roof is in the shape of a pyramid.

At first glance, this house has a fairly complicated design. Even more complicated than the traditional jolopong house. There are four main parts of the house which are divided into two big parts. At the front, the shape is made of a trapezoid, while the back is made of an equilateral triangle.

This house is quite unique, but in this modern era, quite a few have modified this house. Because this house is not very friendly with rainwater. Especially in West Java, the rainfall is quite high.

3. Imah Badak Heuay

The third West Javanese traditional house is the Heuay Badak, which means yawning rhino. Just like the previous traditional house, the name is adapted to the shape of the house. If you look at this type of traditional house from the front, especially the roof, it looks like a yawning rhinoceros, so it is called the Heuay rhinoceros. The roof which is made one big and one small is deliberately made like that. The goal is to protect the front porch of the house.

The terrace at the front functions as a place to receive male guests. So on every terrace of the house there will be a wooden table and chairs. If you want to see this traditional house, try visiting Sukabumi.

That’s where this house is still often found. As a cultural preservation, some communities also build housing by incorporating the Badak Heuay roof concept with modern architecture. This is one of the efforts to preserve the richness of Javanese culture.

4. Tagog Dog custom house

The fourth house is the Dog Tagog. The name Tagog Dog was chosen because this traditional house has a roof that resembles a sitting dog. In Sundanese, a sitting dog is called Dog Tagog. The shape of the roof consists of two fields which are bordered by the boundary line.

In the first area, the roof is wider than the other roofs, because the main roof covers the entire upper part of the house. Usually it is the people of Garut who use houses with this concept. So when you go to Garut and find a house like the one described above, it’s a traditional dog tagog house.

5. Jolopong traditional house

Finally, there is the Jolopong house which adds to the cultural richness of West Java. In Sundanese terms, Jolopong means to lie down straight, or lie down straight. This name was chosen because the design is simple, and shows the house as if it just lay there.

This simplicity can be seen from the design of the house which is not difficult, even without significant or varied indentations. The other name for Jolopong is the long Suhunan or the Jolopong.

This form of Jolopong can be said to be quite old. Because the roof is in the form of a hut or hut. The roof is made with two fields which are separated in the middle by a succulent line. For the division of space, there is a living room, terrace, kitchen and bedroom.

The designation for each room is different, the terrace is called emper, then the living room or imah, kitchen or pawon, and the bedroom is called pangkeng. You can still find this traditional house in the Sumedang area, Garut, West Java.

Traditional house from East Java

1. Joglo House

Just like in Central Java, in East Java there are also Joglo houses. For the mention, the house there is called Joglo Situbondo. The joglo there has the shape of a fat girl or a pyramid.

For the main building material, teak wood is believed to be the main material. This house was also made based on the people’s belief in the Kejawen custom. Spatial planning and its distribution show harmony between humans and the natural surroundings and with each other.

This can also be seen from the number of pillars or main pillars, bebatur, and also the ornaments on the Joglo house. Where all of them also reflect the personality of the people of East Java. There are four saka guru whose function is to support the roof. Each saka is supported by pedestals with a purus system.

Then this house also uses a blandar, a cart, a kilik, and a bow as a stabilizer for the building. The entrance to the house is also decorated with something called selurroll. This decoration is believed by the community to be an antidote to negative things that will enter the house.

The division of space in Joglo Situbondo is also divided into two. The first part is the pavilion which functions as a place to receive guests. Then the second part is the back room, which is filled with the bedroom and kitchen.

Then on the inside there is still room for senthong kiwo or left, senthong tengen or right, and senthong in the middle. Apart from being a place to sleep, Senthong is also a place to store heirlooms which are still guarded by the community until now.

2. The traditional house of the Tengger Tribe

The Tengger tribe is a community group on the slopes of Mount Bromo, Ranupane, Lumajang, East Java. The main characteristic of the Tengger house is in its concept which is not in the form of a stage and is not terraced.

This house is composed of boards and logs. Then at the top of the ridge impressed steep and high. In accordance with prevailing custom, this house only has one or two windows. At the front of the house there will be a bale-bale which is used to chat with neighbors.

Uniquely, the traditional houses of the Tengger Tribe are made in groups. The streets on either side of the house are just wide enough for a patch of road. This is done to protect all the houses so that they are not exposed to strong winds.

When cold weather strikes, houses will be better protected because they are close together. This shows harmony among fellow colors that live close together.

3. Using traditional house

The third East Javanese traditional house is the Using house. This house can be found in Banyuwangi, the eastern part of the island of Java which borders the Bali Strait. If you want to feel the old Banyuwangi atmosphere, you can come to Kemiren Village, Glagah District, Banyuwangi Regency.

There lay ancient traditional houses that were built by the community. Using traditional houses consist of three types, namely Tikel Balung, Baresan, and Crocogan. All three have the same concept, the difference lies in the number of rab or roof areas. For Baresan’s house, there are three rabs, then Tikel Balung has four rabs, and finally Crocogan has two rabs.

In Using’s house there is also a division of space, just like other traditional houses. There are four areas of space in this house, namely hek or baleh, jerumah, ampet, and pawon. Ampet is tantamount to a terrace that functions as a place to entertain guests.

Then the baleh is the barrier between the private room and the common room, the jerumah or living room for family gatherings, and the pawon or kitchen for storing food and cooking.

4. Dhurung traditional house

Fourth, there is the traditional dhurung house, which has a hut-like shape. On the wall is not equipped with anything. The roof is made of natural materials, such as tassel leaves or tree leaves. According to Bawean terms, pohan leaves are the same as dheun. This dhurung house from East Java serves as a resting place for the community after working in the fields or fields.

This house is located at the front, making it easier to use before entering the house. Because of this position, dhurung is also used as a place to interact with neighbors. Some even make this house a place to find a mate. For the size, the dhurung house is made according to the wishes of the owner, it can be made big or small.

The Impact of Global Warming and How to Overcome It – Lately, Sinaumed’s must have found the symptoms of global warming which are currently getting more extreme. For example, the air temperature is very hot or otherwise very cold, floods occur, it is difficult to find food, and so on.

These are some of the effects of global warming that we need to pay attention to. This impact is certainly very dangerous and detrimental to human life.

Global warming has always been a topic of conversation for many people from scientists, experts, activists, and even ordinary people who are affected by it. This is because the impact of global warming is very large and dangerous for the environment, ecosystems and human health.

The biggest trigger for this phenomenon is the use of fossil fuels and various land use conversion activities, namely converting forests into development, plantations, or agriculture.

The development of the times will also affect nature and our environment. If we don’t pay attention to the environment, the development will only damage our nature. Activities that are not environmentally friendly will produce gases that damage the atmosphere as in the Greenhouse Effect process.

Now caring for the environment also means caring for the ongoing balance of nature because a good environment will also lead to a good quality of life. Don’t let us become a generation that destroys nature.

Well, that’s why Sinaumed’s friends need to know what global warming is, the causes and effects of global warming so they can take steps to deal with global warming. Starting from small things we can maintain the balance of nature and try not to damage nature.

Definition of Global Warming

Global Warming or Global Warming is the process of increasing the average temperature in the atmosphere, sea and earth’s land so extreme that it affects the imbalance of the earth’s ecosystem.

The emergence of global warming shows that in the last hundred years, the global average temperature on the earth’s surface has so far increased by 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F).

This global warming phenomenon is then marked by the melting of polar ice and various places or areas that have temperatures that tend to rise throughout the world.

The emergence of the phenomenon of global warming is certainly difficult to avoid because human activities are increasingly not environmentally friendly. Many human activities and lifestyles lead to the emergence of the effects of global warming.

Climate change, which is currently increasing global warming, is caused by several things that are currently easy for us to find.

Then what are the causes of global warming? Following are some of the causes of global warming that Sinaumed’s needs to know about in order to reduce and improve the lifestyle that destroys nature

Impact of Global Warming

1. The Polar Ice Is Melting

Global Warming can have a negative impact on the polar regions because it makes the ice melt. The ice at the poles is melting because the earth’s temperature is increasing due to several factors.

Counted in the last 30 years, the ice at the poles has melted due to global warming with an amount reaching 28 trillion tons.

The melting of polar ice will also have a negative impact on natural ecosystems, from increasing water volume, rising sea levels, and even losing many polar animals.

2. Water Volume Increases

Global warming can have an impact on increasing the volume of water because water discharge increases after trillions of tons of polar ice melts.

The increased volume of water is of course a very bad impact of global warming which causes many areas to be flooded. In addition, small islands are also at risk of disappearing due to sinking.

3. Clean Water Crisis

Global warming can also have an impact on the availability of clean water. The lack of clean water availability will create a clean water crisis which is very detrimental to humanity. This clean water crisis can occur because global warming can make a lot of water in the soil evaporate so that clean water is difficult to obtain.

4. Forest Fire

Severe global warming will result in a very high temperature increase that can trigger forest fires. Losing forests is certainly the worst thing for nature and the earth.

As happened in California, United States of America massive forest fires which later according to scientists were caused by increasing temperatures due to global warming.

5. Smog

The impact of global warming seems to be spreading into more specific forms of impacts that are detrimental to nature and humanity. Like the smog caused by forest fires, it will also have an impact on human health. Global warming is indeed very big impact for survival on earth.

6. The emergence of disease outbreaks

Global warming can affect the immunity of living things to decrease due to rising temperatures and unstable season conditions. Because poor immunity will make us susceptible to disease. Even the impact of this temperature increase can affect many people so that it becomes a disease outbreak.

7. There is a Food Crisis

Global warming can have an impact on food availability because it can increase sea temperatures so that it affects the death of marine biota. If we lack the supply of fish and marine animal populations, then we will experience a food crisis which can be very difficult for humans.

8. Allergy Cases Increase

Warmer temperatures due to global warming can cause plants to pollinate longer. An increase in the amount of pollen in the air can cause an increase in the number of allergy sufferers because plant pollen is the most common cause of allergies and kills the most.

9. Extreme Natural Events

Global warming will certainly have an impact on natural conditions that cause very extreme natural events to occur, for example major floods, major storms and tsunamis.

In addition to making natural events become extreme, global warming also makes their intensity increase. As a result, more and more people have lost their homes or possessions due to natural disasters that have befallen them. Big disasters will also bring great losses to humans.

10. Extinction of Animals

Global warming can increase the risk of wiping out animal populations. This can happen because many animal populations have lost their habitat due to extreme climate change due to global warming.

If their original habitat is lost it will make the animals migrate. But if they can’t adapt to their new habitat, the animals can’t survive and many die.

11. Damage to Marine Ecosystems

Global warming can damage marine ecosystems, starting from destroying coral reefs so that it also affects other marine biota. Coral reefs are an important element that needs to be owned by the sea because coral is where marine life survives. So if many coral reefs are damaged, it will also have an impact on other marine ecosystems.

12. Impact on Plants and Agriculture

Global warming can have an impact on crop growth and crop failure because extreme weather such as flooding, rising sea levels can disrupt the crop season.

Global warming has a negative impact on plants, making it difficult to grow and crop failure. The lack of availability of crops can also lead to a food crisis.

13. Heat Wave

Global warming can create dangerous heat waves. In recent years more deaths have been caused by heatwaves than in the previous 60 years. As reported by The Guardian there has been a terrible heat wave that has hit India.

3. Save Energy and Water Usage

Sinaumed’s friends need to know that heating air conditioning water, excessive use of lights, and other electronic devices can also increase the amount of CO2 production in the earth’s atmosphere.

So it also has a big potential to cause global warming. So that’s why we can minimize these causes by saving the energy and water that we use every day.

For example by replacing light bulbs with types that are more energy efficient, turning off lights when they are not in use, preferring to use showers, repairing leaks immediately, and so on.

Sinaumed’s can also choose to use natural lighting to save more energy by not turning on the lights during the day.

4. Use Environmentally Friendly Products 

Preferring environmentally friendly products can be a wise way to overcome global warming. For example choosing electronic products that have been tested to be more energy efficient, using goods that don’t generate a lot of waste, and other environmentally friendly products.

5. Run a Healthy Lifestyle

Sinaumed’s can do a healthy lifestyle to survive in the midst of current global warming. Sinaumed’s can do a healthy lifestyle to overcome global warming by cycling or walking when traveling short distances. In addition, Sinaumed’s can consume healthy or organic products that do not produce a lot of waste for the environment.

6. Preserving Forests and Agriculture

Global warming can be prevented by using chemical-free forestry and agricultural products. In addition, forest burning must also be stopped and significant reforestation or reforestation must be carried out.

The specific way that Sinaumed’s can do is plant trees or do greenery around the house first.

For wider action, Sinaumed’s can join the tree donation movement as an effort to prevent global warming.

7. Recycle

The following way to overcome global warming is by reducing waste and the use of plastic. Reducing waste Garbage can be done by recycling waste and other used items that are still useful.

Sinaumed’s can also reduce the use of plastic bags by bringing their own tote bags or grocery bags when shopping at minimarkets, supermarkets, markets, and so on. Recycling can be our effort to maintain a clean and beautiful environment.

Al-Qur’an Verses About Rizki – For Muslims, sustenance is something that has been arranged by Allah SWT. Therefore, there are many verses in the Qur’an about sustenance that you can use as a guide in living this life. To find out more clearly about the verses of the Qur’an about rizki, you can see this article, Sinaumed’s.

Definition of Rizky

Fortune or sustenance is one of the things that is the secret of Allah SWT. Allah mentions in the verses of the Qur’an about sustenance that sustenance is the same as a person’s death, age, and mate. However, Allah has also confirmed that every creature on earth has guaranteed its sustenance. Therefore, we as Muslims who believe in Allah should no longer feel anxious about the problem of sustenance.

Because the problem of sustenance has been arranged by Allah, we as His servants only need to try our best to achieve it.

Islam views sustenance not only as material, other non-material enjoyment such as health, happiness, household harmony, knowledge, work, and so on are also very valuable and need to be grateful for.

Al-Quran is the holy book of Muslims which explains everything including the problem of sustenance. In the holy book, there are many verses that mention sustenance. Every human being and creature on earth has all been determined and regulated by God’s sustenance. The task of humans is only to seek sustenance in a lawful way and be grateful for it.

Fortune is the door of life that should be grateful for favors. Fortune comes from Allah SWT, because Allah SWT is the Most Giver and Most Rich.

Apart from trying to work to earn sustenance, humans must also place their trust by praying a lot to Allah so that the door of sustenance will be made easy and opened. Practices to bring sustenance include performing dhuha prayers, reading the Al Quran Surah Ar Rahman, giving charity and praying a lot.

As explained in the letter Ar-Rum verse 40. In that letter, Allah SWT says, “It is Allah who created you, then gives you sustenance, then turns off, then revives (again). Is there anyone among those whom you associate with Allah who can do something like that? Glory be to Him and Most High of what they associate.”

Verses of the Qur’an about Rizki

Human duty is to try and continue to work as well as possible. Well, the following verses from the Koran about sustenance will make you more enthusiastic and calm in waiting for Allah SWT’s sustenance. The following is an explanation of the verses of the Qur’an about sustenance:

1. Surah Ibrahim verse 34

Meaning: “And He has given you everything you asked of Him. And if you count the favors of Allah, surely you will not be able to count them. Indeed, humans are very unjust and very denying (the favors of Allah).”

Through this verse, we have been promised sustenance by Allah SWT if we do it seriously. However, it is inappropriate if we count anything and the number of favors given by Him. Because that is not grateful and includes wrongdoing.

2. Surah Ibrahim Verse 7

Meaning: And (remember) when your Lord announced, “Indeed, if you are grateful, I will surely add (favors) to you, but if you deny (My favors), then My punishment will be very severe.” (QS. Ibrahim Verse 7).

In this verse, Allah SWT again reminds His servants to always be grateful for all the blessings that He has bestowed. If they do it, then the favor will be added again by Him.

On the other hand, Allah also reminds those who deny His favor, and do not want to be grateful that He will inflict a very painful punishment on them. Grateful for God’s grace can be done in various ways.

First, with a sincere greeting; secondly, accompanied by deeds, namely using the grace for purposes that are pleasing to Him. In everyday life, we can see that people who are generous and like to spend their wealth for the public interest and helping people, generally never fall into poverty or misery.

In fact, his fortune is always increasing, his wealth is increasing, and his life is happy, loved and respected in the association.

On the other hand, rich people who are stingy, or like to use their wealth for things that are not pleasing to Allah, such as gambling or taking usury, their wealth does not increase, in fact it quickly decreases. In addition, he was always hated and cursed by the people, and in the afterlife received severe punishment.

3. Surah Hud verse 6

Meaning: “And not a single creature moves (animate) on earth but all of them are guaranteed by Allah’s sustenance. He knows his residence and where it is kept. All (written) in a real Book (Lauh Mahfuzh).”

Creeping animals, which live on earth which includes animals that crawl, crawl, or even walk on two legs, are all guaranteed sustenance by Allah.

These animals are given instincts and the ability to seek their sustenance according to the nature of events, everything is arranged by Allah with His wisdom and wisdom so that there is always harmony.

Surah Hud verse 6 explains the sustenance guaranteed by Allah SWT. Actually, the sustenance of all humans and even all creatures in this world has been written and determined in the Lawh Mahfuzh.

So, you don’t have to worry about the fortune you get. You don’t need to feel deprived or poor because all the sustenance you get has been guaranteed by Allah SWT. So if you can accept it, all your needs will definitely be fulfilled.

4. Surah An-Najm verses 39-41

Verse 39

Meaning: “and that man only gets what he has worked for,”

Verse 40

Meaning: “and indeed his efforts will be shown (to him),”

Verse 41

Meaning: “then he will be rewarded with the most perfect reward.”

Surah An Najm verses 39-41 explains the door of sustenance that will open if humans try to get this sustenance. Because there is nothing in this world that is instantaneous, then everything must be worked on especially in meeting the necessities of life or making money.

Humans must be active in running their business, of course adhering to the principles of trustworthiness and responsibility. Humans must be able to utilize the energy and ideas that Allah SWT has given to seek sustenance. Allah SWT actually does not like people who are lazy.

5. Letter of Noah verses 10-12

Verse 10

Meaning: so I said (to them), “Ask forgiveness from your Lord, Indeed, He is Forgiving,

Verse 11

Meaning: “He will surely send down heavy rain from the sky on you,”

Verse 12

Meaning: “He multiplied your wealth and children, and made gardens for you and made rivers for you.”

Surah Noah verses 10-12 explains about the door of sustenance that opens if we always remember Allah SWT with istighfar and ask Him for forgiveness. Beristighfar and begging for forgiveness will make it easier for you to get through all obstacles in seeking sustenance.

Obstacles in seeking sustenance can be due to bad things that are done by us unconsciously. So, if you encounter obstacles in your quest for sustenance, don’t despair, you must remain in the way of Allah SWT by making istighfar and asking Him for forgiveness as much as possible.

6. Surah At-Talaq verses 2-3

Meaning: ” Whoever fears Allah, surely He will open a way out for him, and He gives him sustenance from where he does not expect. And whoever puts his trust in Allah, Allah will fulfill his (needs). Verily, Allah carries out His affairs. Indeed, Allah has made provision for everything.” (QS. At Thalaq: 2-3).

The verse explains that if the wife’s iddah period is almost over and the husband still wants to be reunited, then he may refer to his wife and live well together as husband and wife, carry out his obligations, provide groceries, clothes, housing, and so on.

People who fear Allah, and obediently comply with the rules that have been set, among others, regarding the reconciliation and divorce mentioned above, He will surely show him a way out of the difficulties he faces.

For those who fear Allah, they are not only given and made easy ways out of the difficulties they face, but also provided with sustenance by Allah from unexpected directions, which have never crossed their minds. Then, Allah calls on them to put their trust in Him, because it is Allah who fulfills their needs to make their affairs successful.

Putting your trust in Allah means surrendering yourself to Him, fully surrendering to Him the success of your business. After he tries and establishes an endeavor, then he puts his trust in it.

It is not trustworthiness if a person surrenders his situation to Allah without effort and endeavor. Try and endeavor first then put your trust in Allah.

Surah At-Talaq verse 3 explains about the sustenance of Allah SWT which can come from anywhere and sometimes unexpectedly. Allah SWT is the source of all the sustenance that we get, so we should be grateful.

7. Surah Al Mulk Verse 21

Fortune does not come by itself but must be picked up by trying and doing good and lawful work.

Meaning: “Or who is he who gives you sustenance if Allah withholds His sustenance?” (Al-Mulk: 21).

In this verse it is emphasized who is the person who can provide you with sustenance apart from Allah, if He decides it from you. In other words, no one can give, prevent, create, give sustenance, and help other than Allah SWT. alone, there is no partner for Him. They know this, but they worship other than Him.

8. Surah Al Jumuah Verse 10

Meaning: “When the prayers have been performed, then scatter you on the face of the earth; and seek the bounty of Allah.” (Al-Jumu’ah: 10).

After being prohibited from carrying out transactions after the call that ordered Muslims to gather for Friday prayers, then it was allowed for them after that to spread over the face of the earth in order to seek God’s gift, namely sustenance.

9. Surah Al Ankabut Verse 62

Meaning: “Allah expands sustenance for whom He wills among His servants and He (also) narrows it down for him. Surely Allah is All-Knower of all things.” (QS. Al Ankabut Verse 62)

In this verse, Allah states that it is He who widens sustenance for whom He wills and constricts sustenance for whom He wills. He alone has the power to determine sustenance, so that believers need not be reluctant to emigrate for fear of poverty.

Allah provides sustenance wherever they are, whether in their own country, or in other people’s lands or on their way, even when they are captured by enemies. Allah says: Indeed Allah, He is the Giver of sustenance Who Has Strength and is Very Sturdy.

10. Surah Al Baqarah Verse 172

Meaning: “O you who believe! Eat of the good sustenance that We give you and give thanks to Allah, if you only worship Him.” (QS. Al Baqarah verse 172)

In this verse it is emphasized that a believer eats the good food given by Allah, and the sustenance that He gives must be grateful. In verse 168 the command to eat good food is addressed to humans in general.

Therefore, the order was accompanied by a prohibition on following Satan’s teachings. Whereas in this verse the command is directed to the believers only so that they eat the good sustenance of Allah. Therefore, this order is accompanied by an order to be grateful.

11. Al-Quran verses about sustenance: QS Ar-Rum: 37

12. Al-Quran verses about sustenance: QS Al-Qasas: 82

13. Al-Quran Verses About Fortune: QS Al-Isra: 30

Gratitude is not only spoken verbally, but also practiced with deeds. Helping people who are in trouble or giving charity is a form of gratitude. That way, surely Allah SWT will fulfill the needs of life.

Basically, talking about good fortune has been arranged by Allah SWT and good luck does not always have to be about money, but good luck can also be in the form of health. Therefore, it is appropriate for Muslims to live this life full of gratitude for the health that we have today, so that it becomes easier to carry out various activities.

Examples of Socio-Cultural Threats – Intentionally or not, humans build civilization. Each civilization has its own culture. Even in each region has cultural characteristics that are different from the culture of other regions.

The culture in each era will also be different from the culture in other times. For example, the culture of the Indonesian people in the 40s will be different from the Indonesian people in 2022. Those who lived in the 40s mobilized by bicycle, buggy and other traditional means of transportation.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian people in 2022 will mobilize using motorcycles, planes, cars, buses and other modern means of transportation. Culture will continue to develop according to the region, era, and patterns of interaction or social conditions of the people.

Socio-cultural conditions are also the same, will continue to develop according to the times. Before getting to know more about socio-culture, Sinaumed’s needs to know about social and culture in advance.

Culture itself in the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), culture is a mind; common sense; customs; something about a developing (civilized, advanced) culture; something that has become a habit and is difficult to change. Meanwhile, social in KBBI is interpreted as relating to society; likes to pay attention to the public interest (like to help, donate, and so on).

The socio-cultural situation of a country is not always in a stable state. Cultures mix and influence other cultures or even change. The following will explain about socio-culture and its threats in a country.

Understanding the Concept of Culture

Culture does not form by itself. If examined more deeply, culture consists of 7 elements. Here are 7 elements of culture that have been summarized from the Merdeka.com page.

1. Language System

Language is a medium for humans to fulfill their social needs in the form of interaction or relationships with others. Humans are able to build, maintain, and pass on culture using language.

Language is able to help artists to provide an understanding of social phenomena that are expressed symbolically. Not only that, language is also used by allied people to communicate with each other.

2. Knowledge System

Knowledge systems are culturally universal with regard to systems of living equipment and technology. Because, knowledge systems are abstract and embodied in human ideas. The knowledge system includes various elements in life so that the boundaries are very far or wide.

For example, people usually have some traditional astronomical knowledge. In the form of calculating the day based on the moon or celestial bodies which are considered to provide signs for human life.

Every culture always has a series or set of knowledge about nature, animals, objects, humans, and plants. Every ethnic group in the world has knowledge about the natural environment, the plants that grow around it, and the animals that live in the area where they live.

Not only that, they also have knowledge about substances, raw materials, and objects in their environment, the human body, human characteristics and behavior, as well as space and time.

3. Social Organization System

Social organization is one of the constituent elements of culture. Cultural elements in the form of kinship systems and social organizations are one of the efforts to understand how humans form society through various social groups.

Kinship is also related to the notion of marriage in a society. This is because marriage is the core or basis for forming a community or social organization.

4. Life Equipment Systems and Technology

Living equipment and technology become one of the 7 elements of culture. Humans will always try to defend their lives so they always make tools or objects that make it easier and maintain their lives.

Initially, objects used as living equipment had simple shapes and technology. So that discussion of cultural elements included in living equipment and technology becomes a discussion of physical culture.

In traditional societies there are 8 kinds of physical culture equipment systems used for moving around or farming. The eight systems include productive work tools, weapons, containers, tools for starting a fire, food, drink, aphrodisiacs and herbs, clothing and jewelry, shelter and housing, and means of transportation.

5. Economic System / Livelihoods

Livelihoods or the economy is one of the 7 elements of culture. Traditional community livelihoods are usually hunting and gathering, raising livestock, cultivating crops in the fields, catching fish, and sedentary farming with irrigation systems.

This livelihood was carried out by the community in the past. Now, people prefer other jobs. Gathering livelihoods have long been abandoned due to limited natural resources along with the increasing population.

6. Religious System

The religious or religious system is one of the elements of culture. Human life cannot be separated from religious emotions. Religious emotion itself is a feeling in humans that encourages them to take religious actions.

This emotion also creates the conception of objects that are considered sacred and profane in human life. In a religious system there are three elements that must be understood including the belief system, the system of religious ceremonies, and the people who adhere to that religion.

Evolutionarily, human religion also develops from simple to complex forms. For example, belief in worship of a supernatural power outside of human beings.

Such as wind, mountains, forests, trees, sea, and so on. This belief continues to develop into a higher level, namely the belief in only one god ( monotheism ) and the birth of the concept of revealed religion (Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, and so on).

7. Art

Art is an element of culture. This stems from the concern of anthropologists regarding the artistic activities of a traditional society. In this research, descriptions of objects or artifacts containing elements of art were collected, such as statues, ornaments, and carvings.

Based on its type, the art of music consists of vocal and instrumental art. Meanwhile, literary art consists of prose and poetry. Meanwhile, fine art consists of sculpture, make-up, painting, relief, and carving.

Not only that, there is the art of movement and dance, namely art that can be captured by the senses of sight or hearing. Meanwhile, traditional arts consist of lenong, ludruk, ketoprak, dance, wayang, and so on. Meanwhile, modern art, for example films, songs, and choreography.

Art can be analyzed using visual culture studies, namely cultural analysis that specifically examines photographs and films. Both of these media seek to display human life and culture from a visual perspective in the form of documentaries or photographs regarding the cultural activities of a society.

Social Concept

Social in KBBI is interpreted as relating to society; likes to pay attention to the public interest (like to help, donate, and so on). Social interaction is usually carried out between individuals, individuals with groups, or groups with groups.

Through social interaction that occurs continuously, a social structure will be formed to channel feelings and ideas. The interactions that occur are also limited by social and cultural norms.

Launching from the Bobo.grid.id page, social is formed from various elements as follows.

1. Social Groups

A social group is a collection of people who interact because they realize that they are part of a community group.

2. Culture

Culture exists because humans embody ideas or ideas that are in the mind. In social life, a culture will certainly be created which becomes the identity of the group.

3. Social Institutions

Social institutions become a place to regulate relationships between individuals in society so that they are orderly and as expected. Social institutions have standards that are used to achieve goals and make rules that have been agreed upon.

4. Social Stratification

Social stratification is the grouping of each member of society. This is usually done by a group with the aim that their lives are orderly and appropriate.

5. Power and Authority

This social element has the right to regulate and control an individual in a society. This right can also be exercised directly or indirectly to achieve the agreed objectives.

Examples of Socio-Cultural Threats

Socio-cultural conditions do not always work well and are stable. Summarizing from various pages on the internet, here are some examples of socio-cultural threats that can be experienced by Indonesian people.

4. Weinberg and Rubington

That will affect the community in meeting their needs. And will affect the roles of a society. Social problems are situations that are seen by society as something that is not expected to happen.

Examples of Social Problems in Indonesia

1. Social inequality

Social inequality is a social problem that will have many negative impacts. Social inequality is a condition where there is no balance between people. Social inequality is often associated with very clear differences between people.

In this case, the social disparities that occur most frequently are in the economic field. “The poor get poorer, the rich get richer.” The expression is very appropriate, to explain how the condition of social inequality in the economic field in society.

There are many factors that cause social inequality. These factors include government policies, the influence of globalization, differences in natural resources in these areas, geographical location and conditions, and demographic factors.

In reducing this social gap, welfare science can be applied in an effort to improve people’s welfare. The book entitled Social Welfare by Isbandi Rukminto Adi discusses various issues of social inequality that are currently developing.

2. Poverty 

Poverty is a social problem that has existed for a long time in Indonesia. It’s not something that can be covered up, that the poverty rate is still high in Indonesia. Even from year to year, poverty always occurs.

From a loss point of view. There are so many who lose out from this social problem of poverty. In the case of people who fall into the category of poverty, it will be difficult for them to meet their needs. From the state’s point of view, this poverty can be called a burden in Indonesia.

Indeed, there is no action that can directly eradicate poverty in Indonesia. Moreover, the social problem of poverty is ingrained. Someone who falls into the poor category can be due to two factors. Internal factors, because people who fall into this poor category do not try. He is not trying to change his life and get out of the poverty cycle.

The second factor is the external factor, poverty caused by internal factors get used to it because of problems. Examples include climate change, changes in social structure, policies from government programs, natural damage and can occur due to other things.

In dealing with this poverty problem, the government is trying to carry out social development and community organizing which is described in the book Dealing with Poverty by Bambang Rustanto, Dr., M.Hum which has a high level of effectiveness in dealing with poverty problems.

4. Unemployment

Unemployment is also a very big social problem in Indonesia. Unemployment occurs due to various factors. One of them is due to competition from human resources. This competition occurs in terms of finding jobs. Usually people who do not have sufficient education will lose to people who have higher education. Many job seekers make education the main requirement in opening job vacancies.

This is what causes unemployment to become a social problem. Similar to poverty, unemployment always increases from year to year. Another factor that causes unemployment is because people are not productive.

If allowed to continue, unemployment will cause new problems. There must be a solution for unemployment. One of the right solutions in dealing with unemployment is to create job training. Job training so that unemployed people are not inferior in terms of skills to other productive people. Another thing that can be done is to open a lot of job vacancies. However, the available vacancies do not only rely on high education and a lot of experience. Then it will not solve this unemployment problem.

The problem of unemployment is generally often faced by developing countries. In Indonesia, one of them is in Southeast Sulawesi Province, this problem is getting bigger as shown in the book Database of Higher Education Unemployment in Southeast Sulawesi by Achmad Selamet Aku, S.Pt., M.Sc. Dr. La Ode Suriadi, SE, M.Sc. Dr. hj. Sitti Whirdhana A. Bakareng, S.Si., M.Si. Dr. Muh. Amrullah Pagala, S.Pt., M.Sc. Deki Zulkarnain, S.Pt., M.Si. Ir. Natsir Sandiah, MP

5. Crime

Crime is a social problem that arises because of problems that have not been resolved before. An example is the problem of unemployment. If unemployment continues, but there is no solution, it will create many criminal acts. People who are involved in criminal acts usually do not have a place to help them meet their daily needs.

Of course crime harms all parties. No party is harmed by crime, even the perpetrators. Crime will also create new problems. The perpetrators of crimes will be dealt with by the law. In studying crime, there is criminology that can benefit the community where the criminology is developed. To understand more deeply, you can use the book entitled CRIMINOLOGY by Muhammad Mustofa as a reference.

6. Infectious disease

Another example of a social problem is a contagious disease. Contagious diseases will greatly impact various sectors. An example is the Covid-19 disease which is caused by the corona virus. This deadly infectious disease affects all fields in Indonesia.

The economic sector is also affected due to this infectious disease. The economy is paralyzed, because many economic actors are infected with the infectious disease virus. As with the education sector, education is not running smoothly as usual due to this contagious disease.

Many problems that occur as a result of this social problem. Many parties are harmed. The government and society must work together in overcoming this social problem.

7. Juvenile delinquency

Brawl between teenagers is a form of juvenile delinquency. From this event, it can be seen that juvenile delinquency is an example of a social problem. This event is a violation of existing norms and should be embraced by teenagers.

The most influential impact of juvenile delinquency is on the adolescents themselves. Juvenile delinquency will make the mentality of the teenager damaged. If many teenagers are mentally damaged, this is a serious threat to Indonesia for generations to come.

The way that can be done to overcome juvenile delinquency is to always supervise it. Many parties must be involved in this effort. Such as the school, government, the general public, and those who are very influential are the family or parents.

To make change, it must occur from outside and within the youth themselves. However, by doing encouragement then delinquency that occurs among teenagers can be resolved immediately.

8. A cult

Deviant sects are not always visible directly in society. Heretical sects have also occurred since ancient times. However, this is one example of social problems that exist in Indonesia.

A cult is a doctrine or belief, which contradicts or is not in line with what it should be. Sometimes there are cults that advocate going against religion or the government. This will be annoying and detrimental to some parties.

9. Sara conflict

This social problem does not always appear in Indonesia. However, this problem can appear from time to time. This problem also includes a serious social problem. In addition, it also needs fast action to overcome it.

As a result of this social problem, there can be a split. In addition to divisions, the result of this sara conflict is the disruption of existing developments. Because it will trigger a relationship between the 2 groups involved.

This sara conflict is of various kinds. There are those who question the country, race, religion, skin color, ethnicity, and so on. One of the factors that causes racial conflicts like this is because they cannot accept the differences that occur in society.

10. Environment

Social problems that fall into the environmental category, for example, are environmental pollution. Another example is flooding. Even though it is included in the category of natural disasters, one of the factors that causes flooding is also related to humans.

12. Corruption

There is always a social problem in Indonesia, corruption. Corruption is a social problem that must be taken seriously. This corruption problem seems endless in Indonesia. Every year, Indonesian people always have to face their own government that commits corruption.

One way to help eradicate corruption is to reaffirm laws regarding acts of corruption. When viewed from previous cases, the punishments meted out to these thieves of public money were often unfair.

13. Legal gaps

“The law is blunt up and sharp down”. Legal disparity is a social problem that is clearly visible in Indonesia. The law that should be fair to the community does not actually defend the common people. This is a never-ending problem in Indonesia.

The only thing that can overcome this is the government itself. If the government always sided with the upper classes, this problem would never be solved.

Then why is rice a staple food for the majority of Indonesian people? What types of staple foods can be substituted for rice? Let’s look at the following review so that Sinaumed’s can understand it!

Reasons Why Rice Becomes Staple Food in Indonesia

Even the need for national rice is always included in the budget of the Ministry of Agriculture (Kementan) of the Republic of Indonesia as an effort to prosper the people of Indonesia.

The reason rice is used as a staple food by the majority of Indonesian people is due to the advanced agricultural sector since the independence era. Although in fact the agricultural sector does not only produce rice as rice, but also produces cassava, sweet potatoes, corn, and others. However, people are accustomed to eating rice as a source of carbohydrates.

In addition, there is an opinion that consuming staple foods other than rice, for example cassava, sago flour, sweet potatoes, is for those whose lives are not affluent. Therefore, rice is often used as a symbol of prosperity and economic success in society.

Through the government’s strategy that prioritizes development in the agricultural industrial sector, it turns out that Indonesia can reduce poverty levels. Every year, production from the agricultural industry, especially rice, continues to increase. This of course makes the Indonesian people dependent on rice and make rice their staple food.

Types of Staple Foods Apart from Rice

Indonesia is a country rich in natural resources, including the availability of various food ingredients. Knowledge of the types of staple foods other than rice is of course useful for us as the nation’s next generation.

If Sinaumed’s is curious about processed corn rice, of course Sinaumed’s can make it himself. The trick is to pound dry corn kernels, then soak the results of the collision. Then, it is ground again to form a flour called sekelan. After that, it is steamed and served with additional side dishes such as salted fish, chicken, tempeh and vegetables.

However, if you can’t process it, Sinaumed’s can still enjoy it by buying a pack of corn rice which is usually sold at the nearest traditional market.

In whole corn, there are nutrients that are beneficial to the body. Call it fiber, carbohydrates, protein, vitamin B3, vitamin B5, vitamin C, minerals in the form of potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, and antioxidants.

Although it can be a staple food substitute for rice, the amount of carbohydrates produced by potatoes is lower than rice. However, don’t worry, because consuming potatoes can actually provide many benefits for the health of our bodies, you know…

Potatoes contain various nutritional content in the form of carbohydrates, protein, fiber, antioxidants, potassium, and several vitamins. Therefore, potatoes can be beneficial for maintaining bone health, maintaining heart health, treating insomnia, lowering blood pressure, and reducing intestinal inflammation.

Even today, many diet programs make potatoes a food ingredient because they are considered to be able to maintain a more stable body weight.
