Answer From The Space

Insterstellar has shown a completely new space adventure for 2014 movie enthusiasts. Below Christopher Nolan’s direction, the movie has placed 15^th in online-based movie review, IMDB. Interstellar tells a story when humanity is threatened by natural disaster. Food and health issue are two main problem that the movie try to solve. Afterwards, space adventure is one of the option to continue the generation. The movie shows a magnificent characters building throughout the introduction. Aside from that, movie Interstellar shows how space is filled with uncountable mystery. The moment they took off from earth, it is showing that humanity is little to be compared with the universe. The unknown possibilities, which might show, generate the emotion which Nolan is playing with. The truth is universe, we might say for now, is unlimited. Our galaxy, Milky Way, is a small part in contributing the whole universe. There are stars which shining brightly even though the estimated distance are hardly to be measured. Unimaginably numbers of mystery are filling our universe we live in.

We might tell that the oldest system of life is universe. From it, people will be amazed by how much they can learn. In this field of study, people are open to express their opinion about, for example, the story how earth formed, or how every planets appear at very first time. There are reasonable answers for some mystery, and some are not. The universe is a media to facilitate the curiosity of brilliant future minds. Stephen Hawking, for example, is one of the brightest mind who is now studying and have written books about astronomy. The reason why he steep into the field of study is the countless of knowledge haven’t been explored. There are no perfect answer to the problems which risen up, of course, but close to perfect is enough.

Although there is no perfect answer for behind the mystery, there are some theories and some are acceptable, for now, with the limitation of the technology and knowledge. Knowledge that has no boundaries is astronomy. Its study of space objects are so broad so that they create theory based on scientific research and discovery. For example, theory of gravity is exist because as we have known that earth and every other planets in Milky Way have their own path in rotating the solar system. Keppler theory, theory that show the period of planet orbiting the sun, is created after hours of observing the location of every planets even though it might not be enough when the theory is applied to other galaxy.

Theory might be a reasonable answer, but will it be the truth? Some might disagree with the theory out there. After all, it may show anomaly when it comes to mathematical solving. The chance to prove the theory is scarce due to money which has been invested in space exploration. While observing from far place could be enough, the exploration seems to be waste of money and could be distributed to other problems which needing fast solution. The movie Interstellar shows a conflict in humanity based on what prioritize need to be picked. This is the obstacle of researchers to expand the knowledge of the space.

So much to learn about with limited money and time is the irony of space studies. We might have our own opinion, but theories are not always right, or even are wrong and far from the truth. Though, limitation of human’s knowledge somehow is not set by the technology or the technical issues, but it redirects to people’s beliefs. For what I have learned, human’s knowledge will be limited to the knowledge we only need to know. Some knowledge, or mystery, are not meant to be known and learned so it will remain unknown for no reason.

ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY ABOUT EDUCATION

Study to be Employed?

Working in a farm, becoming labor for industry, sweating for serving plates of rice to fulfill the day are not what people want in their daily life, yet Indonesians most likely do. Bureau of Indonesia’s Statistics (BPS) stated that, by Feb 7th, 7.20 percent of productive Indonesians population are unemployed. Meanwhile, the numbers of employment force people to accept low salary jobs; below the standardized salary which government has set. One of the major problem which cause the issue is the mindset of students after they graduate. Most schools may only have been developed students with a rigid structured curriculum, so they are only ready to pass the standardized test, follow the instruction book and work repeatedly over and over until reaching the criteria of success.

In Indonesia, school’s subjects are organized based on the current standardized test’s criteria. The numbers of different subjects for this one particular test have created the unbalanced students’ intelligence. Students are expected to master all subjects, yet they will not use or have least interests in them. If they are able to learn all, they are taught in only a few strict method, so afterward they have a same way in thinking. This is shown by the number of entrepreneurship, which needs creative thinking, in Indonesia is low as 4 percent (Tempo).

Other than that, the way of thinking in Indonesia is developed to follow certain pattern, therefore inventions are scarce in Indonesia. Some teachers taught students only with a single way solutions which they prefer. As the result, some students are afraid to make mistakes, so they follow that solution from their teacher. This process of learning has omitted creativity. All inventions around the world were created because the inventor wanted to have different approach in solving problems. Up to 2010, only sixteen patents, by Indonesians, compared to 654 patents made by Malaysian shows a huge different of both nation.

We may say that Indonesia’s curriculum are strict and rigid, even too difficult, but it is one of the advanced curriculum in the world shown by the presence of college-level material in school curriculum. Nevertheless, when school is trying to make us succeed, some may say the criteria of success is vary. They may teach us calculus to become a great engineer, or biology for becoming a doctor, but painter and sculpture creator are some examples of successful jobs which need practice. Moreover, variety of jobs decrease employment because people become creative and utilize what they have for earning income.

School may have become the problem of the unsuccessful students by setting the criteria of smart and skillful students. The lack of judgment criteria have contributed to numbers of employee, instead of employer. Rigid and strict school’s system correspondingly cut numbers of patents and inventions, even it judge students’ choices for future jobs. Thus, we may need to change Indonesian school’s system to catch up with developed countries which allow students to choose their own classes.

Presenting Idea in a New Way

These days, some of us have abandoned the existence of blog post, or any other writing media. The invention of television has almost replaced written media as well. Still, even writing is still popular, such as books and magazines, video clips are now high on demand. People tend to browse videos because the effective information is presented in short period of time. This is the main reason why we need to alter the way of presenting our idea from written to moving pictures. Presenting ideas through videos can be a popular method to reach more people only by few following steps.

First of all, idea or message have to be composed. Creating a concise, brief, and meaningful idea will be easier to understand. Avoiding unnecessary points that might not relate to the idea is a way to create powerful message. Diction might help unrepeatable words and dictionary is a helpful friend.

Then, when you present the idea, you have to be ready. Preparing the speeches and acts will affirm the viewer about the idea which is presented. We may want to avoid creating footage which showing unnatural behavior. Planning out body gestures are ways to gain natural performance.

Editing the video could be hard for beginners. Although, there are a lot of online tutorials to be learned. Basically, you need to trim the unwanted parts and put them in order the video want to be served. Afterward, adding pictures or other clips are recommended to help describing ideas.

Finally, the video is done and you are ready to share it to people. Sharing to closest friends, copying them DVDs will be a hard work.

By uploading it on the web, not only people from your circle will watch it, but thousands or even millions of people may watch it.

Now, idea is shared in a new different way and waited to be watched. By composing a concise idea, people will easily understand what it means. The way presenter broadcast the messages are a huge factor for how much messages are transmitted. By having it on the web, the idea will reach out to unexpectedly numbers of people.
