Latihan PKN: Demokrasi



Demokrasi menjadi sebuah alat dalam meyampaikan suatu pendapat baik secara pribadi maupun kelompok dan demokrasi tersebut bukan hanya dalam pemilu saja bisa juga pada penyampaian aspirasi lainnya. Namun akhir akhir ini, pelaksanaan demokrasi (aspirasi) seolah-olah sudah tidak mengindahkan makna dari demokrasi tersebut, bahkan cenderung memaksakan kehendak, contoh dalam demokrasi tersebut diwarnai dengan hal-hal yang dapat merugikan pihak lain, misalnya pengrusakan/kriminal dan lain sebagainya.

 Bagaimana pandangan saudara tentang Demokrasi di Indonesia terkait dengan beberapa peristiwa yang terjadi dalam penyampaian aspirasi dimana seringkali diakhiri dengan pengrusakan/kriminal/ bentrokan dan lain sebagainya? Silahkan anda kemukakan pendapat saudara....??


Pada masa ini peran partai politik kembali menonjol, sehingga iklim demokrasi memperoleh warna baru, jika esensi demokrasi adalah kekuasaan di tangan rakyat, maka praktik demokrasi tatkala pemilu memang demikian, namun dalam pelaksanaanya setelah pemilu banyak kebijakan tidak mendasar pada kepentingan rakyat, melainkan lebih kearah pembagian kekuasaan antara presiden dan partai politik dalam DPR. Dengan perkataan lain model demokrasi dewasa ini, kurang mendasarkan pada keadilan sosial bagi seluruh rakyat indonesia dan pada akhirnya menimbulkan kekecewaan pada pihak / kelompok tertentu yang merasa aspirasinya tidak tersalurkan. Hasil dari kekecewaan itu akan timbul pengrusakan, kriminal dan bentrokan yang menggunakan kekuatan fisik. Kesadaran berbangsa dan bernegara masih perlu dibina dan dikembangkan dalam kebhinekaan.

Tugas Reading II: Baseball and Jazz

TUGAS 1 Bacalah teks – teks berikut ini dan jawablah pertanyaan – pertanyaannya. Questions 1- 7 Line (5) (10) (15) (20) (25)           Baseball evolved from a number of different ball-and-stick games (paddle ball, trap ball, one-old-cat, rounders, and town ball) originating in England. As early as the American Revolution, it was noted that troops played “base ball” in their free time. In 1845 Alexander Cartwright formalized the New York Knickerbockers’ version of the game: a diamond shaped infield, with bases ninety feet apart, three strikes-you’re-out, batter out on a caught ball, three outs per inning, a nine man team. The “New York Game” spread rapidly, replacing earlier localized forms. From its beginnings, baseball was seen as a way of satisfying the recreational needs of an increasingly urban-industrial society. At its inception it was played by and for wealthy gentlem

Task 1 Dengan pengetahuan teoretis tentang analisis teks sumber yang Anda peroleh dari Buku Materi Pokok “Analisis Teks dalam Penerjemahan (BING4320)”, jawablah keempat pertanyaan berikut. a) Termasuk jenis teks apakah teks berikut? Richard Cohen: The debacle of gun control Once, after I had written about gun control, a guy called to differ and said that had the Jews of Germany been armed, the Holocaust never would have happened. That assertion, so ahistorical as to be almost laughable, stopped me in my tracks because it went to the black heart of the gun-control debate: It’s not about guns. It’s about the government. It’s about the government in two respects. The first is the conviction that guns are needed to protect Americans from their own government. This fear — maybe paranoia is the better word — is embedded in the National Rifle Association’s message and in the statements of its officials. As The Post recently reminded us, shortly before the 1995 bombing of a government office b

Latihan Reading: Immigration

Immigration People of Hispanic origin were on the North American continent centuries before settlers arrived from Europe in the early 1600s and the thirteen colonies joined together to form the United States in the late 1700s. The first census of the new nation was conducted in 1790, and counted about four million people, most of whom were white. Of the white citizens, more than 80% traced their ancestry back to England. There were close to 700,000 slaves and about 60,000 “free Negroes”. Only a few Native American Indians who paid taxes were included in the census count, but the total Native American population was probably about one million.   By 1815, the population of the United States was 8.4 million. Over the next 100 years, the country took in about 35 million immigrants, with the greatest numbers coming in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1882, 40,000 Chinese arrived, and between 1900 and 1907, there were more than 30,000 Japanese immigrants. But by far, the larg

Latihan Reading: Famous Architect

Gambar
Famous Architect Considered the most influential architect of his time, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was born in the small rural community of Richland Center, Wisconsin. He entered the University of Wisconsin at the age of 15 as a special student, studying engineering because the school had no course in architecture. At the age of 20 he then went to work as a draughtsman in Chicago in order to learn the traditional, classical language of architecture. After marrying into a wealthy business family at the age of 21, Wright set up house in an exclusive neighborhood in Chicago, and after a few years of working for a number of architectural firms, set up his own architectural office.   For twenty years he brought up a family of six children upstairs, and ran a thriving architectural practice of twelve or so draughtsmen downstairs. Here, in an idyllic American suburb, with giant oaks, sprawling lawns, and no fences, Wright built some sixty rambling homes by the year 1900. H

Latihan Reading: The Healing Power of Maggots

Gambar
The Healing Power of Maggots The healing power of maggots is not new. Human beings have discovered it several times. The Maya are said to have used maggots for therapeutic purposes a thousand years ago. As early as the sixteenth century, European doctors noticed that soldiers with maggot-infested wounds healed well. More recently, doctors have realized that maggots can be cheaper and more effective than drugs in some respects, and these squirming larvae have, at times, enjoyed a quiet medical renaissance. The problem may have more to do with the weak stomachs of those using them than with good science. The modern heydey of maggot therapy began during World War I, when an American doctor named William Baer was shocked to notice that two soldiers who had lain on a battlefield for a week while their abdominal wounds became infested with thousands of maggots, had recovered better than wounded men treated in the military hospital. After the war, Baer proved to the medical estab
