The Graduation Standard

The implementation of the new graduation standard for High-School Students has evoked people to bring different responses. Some people’s ideas are for some others against the rule.

Some people agree with the rule because it indicates students’ mastery of the whole material or the competence they have managed to have over the past three years. The result of the final exam is also significant for students’ future study in the higher level.

In addition, we are far left behind by our neighboring countries that have implemented a higher graduation grade standard. If the standard is omitted. then student will get left behind even further by those students from neighboring countries students.

However, some other people believe that imposing a high standard will not be effective. The results of the exams have proven to be unreliable. How can you asses the students’ competence only in a couple of days. A smart student for example, may get a low grade just because he is sick during the exam. On the other hand, an idle student may achieve the standard due to luck. There should then be an alternative way to the national exam.

Despite working on different points of view, the government, this matter in the hope of getting a better s relating party are intensely solution upon improving the High-School graduates’ quality.

“The implementation of the new graduation standard evoked people to bring different responses.” (Paragraph 1)

The impact of globalization visibly and largely affects the politics and the economy of the country but its effect on the mindset and the culture is noticeable gradually in the way people think and react. Some of these good and bad points of this worldwide phenomenon is obvious from some points.

People favoring globalization state that there is a worldwide market for the companies and for the customers there is a better access to products from different countries. Also, politics is merging and decisions that are being taken are actually beneficial to people all over the world. Cultural intermingling increases and every nation tries to know more about the other nations’ cultural preferences. In this process. we are actually coming across things that we like and in the course of time adopt it.

However, there are also opponents of globalization. There is immense pressure on the employed people of developed countries who are always under the threat of their jobs being outsourced. Globalization may lead to loss of cultural identity as western ideas are always imposed upon the eastern thoughts.

How can globalization be beneficial culturally?

(1) There are a lot of discussions as to whether children should be given homework or not.

(2) there are strong arguments against this point of view. Parents and teachers argue that it is important to find out whether children can work on their own without the support from the teacher. They say that the evening is a good time for children to sit down and think about what they have learned in school.

(3) Furthermore, they claim that the school day is too short to get anything done that needs doing and it makes sense to send home tasks like independent reading or further writing tasks that don’t need teacher’s support.

(4) However, Some people claim that children do enough work in school already. They also argue that children have hobbies that they want to do after school, such, as sports or music.

(5) A further point they make is that a lot of homework is pointless and doesn’t help the child learn at all.

(6) On balance, I think that some homework is a good idea but that it should only give at the weekend when children have more time.

Nuclear power is generated by using uranium, which is a metal mined in various parts of the world. The first large-scale nuclear power station was opened at Calder Hall in Cumbria, England, in 1956.

Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plant for engines. Nuclear power produces around 11% of the world’s energy needed, and produces huge amounts of energy. It causes no pollution as you’d get when burning fossil fuels.

The advantages of nuclear is as follows:

(1)   It costs about the same as coal, so it’s not expensive to make.

(2)   It doesn’t produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it doesn’t contribute to the greenhouse effect.

(3)   It produces huge amounts of energy from small amount uranium.

(4)   It produces small amounts of waste.

(5)   It is reliable.

On the other hand, nuclear power is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away. Furthermore, although it is reliable, a lot of money has to be spent on safety because if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident can be a major disaster.

People are increasingly concerned about this. In the 1990’s nuclear power was the fastest growing source of power in many parts of the world. In 2005, it was the 2nd slowest-growing.

2012 Film

2012 is Roland Emmerich's film which uses the Mayan calendar and other endof-days prophecies for their doomsday scenario. It images the world coming to an end in 2012.

2012 film brings off a series of wonders. The movie hits its peak early on. It starts when Cussack drives a limo through the streets of Los Angeles as freeways and skyscrapers crumble all round him from the shock of a 10.5 R.S. earthquake. The preposterous flying sequence is equally thrilling. The climax occurs aboard the giant ark, when an equipment malfunction threatens almost the entire mission.

Unfortunately, the crucial sequence is not filmed or edited with the necessary clarity. In 2012 film, Emmerich leaves us confused as to exactly what is happening to whom. However, Emmerich' 2012 deserves credit for casting Cussack.

McCarthy has perhaps his best role ever as Peet's cocky. Danny Glover lends dignity to the role of the president. Chiwetel Ejiofor, as the chief scientist, brings a moving sense of anguish to a stock role. Piatt has fun playing the villain of the piece, and Woody Harrelson also chews the scenery as a bugeyed radio prophet trying to warm his listeners about Armagedon.

All in one, 2012's cinematography, production design and visual effects are awards-worthy. Music also propels the movie. It presents American Idol runner-up. Adam Lambert, who provides a rousing anthem over the end credits.

Reading the three plots of Marry Higgins Clark in All Through the Night concern a stolen gold ornamental cup, a missing baby, and a will which seems to be deceitful. To solve the mystery, she revives her beloved characters; Alvirah, the former cleaning woman; and Willy Meeham, the plumber who won the lottery. They left their life in Jackson Heights, Queens, for an apartment on Central Park. The two have fun along the way solving the puzzle.

The pace is swift and the story is pure escape - totally fun Mary Higgins Clark. I admit, however, that l am still trying to know what melody of the song "All Through the Night" sounds like.

This holiday season, put aside your chores and curl up on couch with All Through the Night. When you close it you will be relaxed and more ready to enjoy the festivities. And then you might just want to tuck a copy into someone's stocking or gift bag, as well.

Laskar Pelangi’: The Audacity of Hope

This is a movie adapted from a best-selling Indonesian novel. It took 40 days of filming on Belitung Island, Bangka-Belitung province. Involving 12 local actors, it reportedly cost Rp 8 billion. With all the efforts of transforming Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Warrior) into a moving picture, will it satisfy readers’ imaginations?

Laskar Pelangi, the novel, was written by Andrea Hirata in 2005, based on his own experiences. It is about an inspiring teacher and her 10 students in the poverty-stricken Kampung Gantong in Belitung. The poor condition of their school building does not dampen their high spirits and hopes for a better future.

Two years later, the novel became a phenomenon in Indonesian literature. With its humanistic touch, Laskar Pelangi has sold more than 500,000 copies and has won the position of Must-Read Novel in every corner of the nation’s bookshops and media review pages. It has finally overcome the domination of teen-lit, chick-lit and even religious novels, the popular theme of today.

Andrea entrusted the filming of the story to the respected figures in the film industry, Mira Lesmana and Riza, as producer and film director. In July 2007, Mira and Riri started the pre-production, which took a year to finish. Together with the scriptwriter Salman Aristo they decided to create a different scenario for the film.

Breaking and Entering is a very interesting film, it is almost entirely character driven. Tis is not a bad thing although in the film we are exposed to a story or action driven.

Anthony Minghella, the director, creates some of the most believable, interesting characters these actors have ever played. It is almost painful to watch them on their journey. Each of the characters makes decisions affecting how their lives will play out, or change and these decisions and actions affect the story. The characters aren't reacting to the story. They are changing it.

Escaped from prison and on hi way to claim the Dragon Scroll, which will make him the all powerful Dragon Warrior, is the good gone bad Tai Lung (Ian McShane). But first, he’ll have to muscle his way around 400 pounds of panda to get to it.
