Do you know the best way to keep our environment clean ?

The two aspects of our environment invoked when talking about keeping the environment clean are garbage and water pollution. We will discuss both in this article.

Litter
Litter is ugly and can harm people and wildlife. Scavenging can be costly for cities and highway departments.

Dog fouling in public places (another form of junk) is a serious health risk, especially for young children.

Cigarette butts are otherwise objectionable waste. It may seem small, but with several trillion butts filled each year are the number one source of litter in this county. Cigarette butts are a big part of urban garbage a lot and can take up to 12 years to decompose.

So how can we keep the trash out of public places and keep the environment clean?
The answer is, of course, first, to educate the public to take their litter home, and when they do, it is necessary to ensure that street cleaning is always effective.

Street cleaning is controlled by the Department of Public Works in all cities and usually removed by contractors appointed or Council's own direct labor. When it works well in general is that local companies with an active interest in helping to simplify the process of also making more regular consultations with the community. Street cleaning is often but not always, carried out for overtime, and this schedule can vary from 8 am until 12 am or 2 pm in our large cities. Street cleaning is an absolute necessity in all well run modern cities.

The street cleaning is a manual task and the work is a significant cost. Satisfaction with the cleanliness of streets and shopping areas has improved in the UK since privatization. One likely reason for this is that before the Council staff had to be the police to ensure the efficiency of their work. Human nature is such that to be on both sides of paper rarely works so efficiently.

The cleaning of streets is only part of the cleanliness of the city, that this article is only part of how to keep the environment clean. The affairs of the Council (municipal) health department is to see that all people have clean air, pure water, pure food, and are protected from communicable diseases.

Street cleaning is an important element of cleaning up the city and offers more and more highly mechanized equipment, such as through the use of sweepers and agitators. Most streets are scheduled for cleaning at least five times a year, and paved streets are cleaned once.

Cleaning the streets must be always strictly, and react to events when trash accumulates more quickly, but without clean water in rivers and streams throughout the city municipal authorities could hardly be said that keeping the environment clean.

River Pollution

The prevention of pollution of the river is even more important that the cleaning of streets, especially in the poorest sectors of the population must rely on river water for domestic water use and even for drinking.

If asked how to keep the environment clean from pollution of rivers, we mean, for all wastewater collection and treatment before allowing them to meet again in the river downstream.

Pollution of the river are the most devastating events to health in poor and developing countries. Contamination occurs when water has altered the physical and chemical parameters such as smell, taste, color, turbidity.

If contaminated water is tested in a laboratory water quality analysis is a series of changes of lights you will find history. These are for example changes in total hardness, pH, chlorides, etc. Expect to see BOD and COD in increasing quantities, and, among others.

The river pollution is a serious problem. In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the issues involved, but at the same time, continuing urbanization and industrialization and the continued growth of the population to produce increasing quantities of waste for disposal.

Dangerously, the river pollution is concentrated in urban areas. River pollution is a serious environmental problem today, but do not seem to be making as much progress as we should. Perhaps the reason is ideological?

When treatment plants have been installed sewage indicator bacteria levels and nitrogen in the performance must be tracked to measure the performance of management. If failure occurs in the quality of performance of municipal authorities must act to determine the necessary changes in the monitoring protocol to avoid any further incidents. It is important to also report on progress and recommendations for planning and decision on policy management. Pollutant levels can be measured by the methods of water quality testing, and once the analysis has been provided is always important to check the data carefully with legal standards. For example, the State of Florida sets the standard health insurance for less than 1000 bacteria such as fecal coli form bacteria per 100 milliliters.

The most common sources of pollution are domestic sewage discharges from the houses in the catchments area, uncontrolled landfills and domestic solid waste on the banks of tributary creeks and dry. Industrial discharge can be a major cause of pollution. Each of industrial wastes usually contains chemicals and organic compounds that can enter the bodies of many aquatic animals. Even the groundwater may be polluted soakage pits, septic tanks, manure, garbage, etc., and eventually discharges into the rivers is worsening the problem.

Implications of Information Technology for Education Technology

Development of Information Technology has been so urgent transform computer-based education concept (Computer Based Education-CBE) into information technology-based education. Information technology can integrate computers and internet facilities as well as other information systems into tools that empower the teaching and learning process more creative and competitive.
Use of Information Technology for education will shift the nature of the university introvert (conventional university) into a more proactive extrovert. Similarly with education units unit smaller e.g. Faculty, Department, study program even to themselves lecturers and students.

Media and technology education in the developing world along with the development and technological progress. In education there are 5 essential elements of the media; direct human contact (face to face), text (including graphics), audio, video and computing.
Educational technology courses that many businesses do come into contact with innovation and new ways of enhancing the effectiveness of learning will be strongly influenced by the development of information technology including computers. Reflect the growth of the use of technology since 1980 continue to grow as DVD (Digital Video Disc), video conferencing, electronic mail, computer conferencing, computer multimedia base, Interactive remote data bases and so on. Educational Technology courses at the importance of integrating computer-based courses into the new curriculum. Computers have strategic value and impact on all the tools and learning media in both audio and video.
Campus-based Modern Information Technology: What is needed?
Advantages of information technology for students to have a logical consequence of policy support, high commitment and visionary views of all parties. Policies should be oriented to the superior human resource development efforts in the field of Science. Commitment is based on that technology is expensive but this assumption is not always true. Physical development is often more expensive because they require large maintenance costs. Physically-oriented development in higher education institutions are usually based on the classic reasons for the limitations of the classroom implementation of conventional classroom learning. Did not realize the front face of conventional that learning be replaced less decentralization learning more through interactive CDs, web base and other information technology devices. Is not there needs to be oriented to the development of IT such as increased spending media of software and hardware up to date? This is what requires foresight that the existence of future students will be determined whether the current-controlled studies can help skills in the future?
Computer Learning Reflection
In the Faculty of Education has available a computer lab of the quantity ratio is not fulfilled by the individual learning needs of students that the average number of each class while the number of computers 30 of about 20 fruits. Not all computers can be used because there are a couple who sometimes have errors. LAN network system seems less effective, in which the use of new software that requires installation must be repeated for each computer because the software on the master server is inaccessible for installation by any user. Availability of specialized technicians that handles the computer lab into an urgent need and should be full-timers. Technicians are not only dealing with the damage but also to manage, assess and make Envisioning the various software and hardware in the future. Computer learning requires practice and training that takes time and requires adequate visualization aspect in providing examples of executing commands in a particular program. This will be easy to do if there is a LCD so that all students can follow the same interface visualization and practice. Not very effective when supervision should be done to each individual.

Information Technology-Based Learning in Nursing World

Theoretical
In today's technological era, even learning to use various media of information technology. By leveraging the use of technology in learning, is expected to provide many opportunities for people to learn with a variety of media. as well as in the world of nursing, with nurses using the technology able to get information from various sources that have been available. To improve health services in the world, the system became more developed technology so that terms such as telemedicine, telehealth, and telenursing already popular. In Indonesia, the use of teleservices (Distance Learning) was popularized by the Open University in 1984.
Discussion
Distance education system is a kind of industrialization of teaching and learning activities that operate characterized the division of labor and production (materials) in bulk. Distance education is an educational system that uses a two-way communication, although not in contact in the form in person between the educator and teacher, but can occur with the help of communication media such as Internet access, computer, television, radio, mail, and others with no geographic boundaries . To use these media will be adjusted to may be learning methods applied by each organizer. Distance education is very easily accessible, user can use it anytime and anywhere. Use of Distance Learning system based on technology so that this is one way to improve our ability to utilize technology.
Conclusion
Technology-based education system distance (Distance Learning) is needed in developing the science to be studied. DL system is not limited by geographic boundaries, whenever and wherever we can access it. In any of our usage is required to be more active in utilizing technology-based information. The information provided can be accessed by anyone, so it can be used in bulk. We recommend the use of this system, the user community has the facilities to support this program, as well as computer and Internet access. Equity programs have also been developed so that all communities benefit. Distance education programs (Distance Learning) is quite effective, especially for advanced countries, but this is one of the challenges for developing countries in order to leverage technology capabilities that will create the high-tech society.

• Providing enlightenment about the benefits of learning; By giving examples of riels in everyday life. Show that the A (Search for information before whom the star class), who finally succeeded in passing a school with the best value in school
• Create a competitive atmosphere. Begins with himself, compared with the value in the past. Continued to show achievements of other students. Encourage your child to a race to catch up or improve performance
• Encourage the child in an atmosphere of learning such as libraries, or where a simple research we need to find its existence.
• Provide exemplary learning and learning. Do the things that our children will emulate.
• Give praise when your child shows improvement of learning achievement. And there is no harm in giving a gift as well as his hope that is not counter-productive to the spirit of learning.

It, the type of auditory said," Mama, listened to, I want to tell: 'type kineste? Tick tend to speak very briefly, even without any comment. Unwittingly effect to learning styles? Ruhi someone a seat. Visual types prefer to sit in the front row. Auditory type tend to sit in the middle. Kinesthetic type, preferring to sit on the right, near the door. They will immediately run away if they feel no need to listen. What can parents help? By understanding the child's learning style that will make children happier. Because the response to the needs of her parents' right. For children with kinesthetic learning style, then the parent or teacher is also expected to be active physic.

The dignified of Education

Education is an important indicator to measure the progress of a nation. If a nation wants to be placed on the social world in a dignified level and modern, so the first thing to do is to develop the education that has relevance and competitiveness for all children of the nation. Why? Because education is a gateway to understanding the world as well as gates to control the thinking and the specific culture in the global society.

In the political perspective of education, a medieval Greek philosophy says that the conquest of the world is determined by how far the education of a nation can be achieved and how advanced the nations concerned master science. This means that as a symbol of the progress of civilization, the mastery of knowledge becomes very important even be an imperative pre-condition for the superiority of a nation. In the language of culture, Geertz even consider the mastery of science as a form of expression of thought and behavior progress of a nation.

As part of the system does not separate public life, as well as educational development becomes an important indicator of national character building process. Therefore, the mastery of science and technology as well as an effort to exalt the dignity and the behavior of nations, as a whole. Educational progress achieved reflects how the nation is to respect and protect the dignity of the world social interaction.

Thus, not too much if the way politics and manners in the intercourse between nations strongly influenced the level of education that is owned and managed to achieve so generally influential in all aspects of public life concerned nation. In fact, level of education held a nation can give an idea of how a nation's character and behave.

The level of public education and especially the holders of power semantically affect how the authorities perceive and act in the face of any problems that arise. This is referred to in the politics of education as part of polite behavior that became an important control in the battle ethics policy that political interests continue to have dynamics.

The dignities of education does not mean putting ethical values education above other values in the social, political, economic and even cultural. The dignities of education means providing a sense of the aesthetic value of collective or individual on the social and ethical behavior that is more dignified.

This means that in the context of developing interpersonal relationships and collective importance of education places containing ethical and aesthetic values are correct and cultured. Call it France, Germany, Japan or China who put themselves in the ranks of socially important because it makes the world as part of ethical education in nation building and become an important measure in building global relationships in the context of broad interest.

In general, the ethical values of education become an important foundation of the world association of these dignified turn on contain elements that puts the value of the relevant nation as part of a respected association of the world and often used as an 'icon' the progress of nations in the world.

Even so, no doubt also that the political dominance in determining the national development priorities which is monologists often become very decisive direction and character development of the planned education. And in turn, determine the direction of education based on political interests practical.

Likewise, the Indonesian people who are striving to be the association of nations that is more global. In this context, various efforts have been made especially in strengthening the national character through the development of national education. Poverty alleviation and nine-year compulsory education is one of the major efforts in raising the dignity of this nation in the international eye.

Backwardness which has pressed the Indonesian nation for centuries has become the experience 'bad' we. Thus we must boost the development of a more dignified education. Because this is just our way to bridge differences and unite the cultural character and a very diverse nation. This is how we rebuild our image of a strong character as part of the world civilization that has valuable values as manifested in the symbol of the Republic of Indonesia.

From the political side, education is a bridge to a democratic society that merge the various different interests. This reality can be seen from melting differences of caste, degree of cultural or political interests to differences in the values of communication that is monologists nationalistic. For that, education is the only path that is considered able to bridge the cultural differences in ethnic and cultural diversity of Indonesia.

This is what caused the Indonesian people are better able to understand him and also to glue the differences in the attempts to maintain the unity of the Indonesian nation, thinking about the complexity of interests, cultural values, and character of various communities.

In addition, education must also be able to build a cultural identity that is more powerful nation that can put this nation as an important part of social intercourse wider world. In the context of a more global, the values that built holistically will penetrate into the social values and a more character. For that, in the framework of strengthening the bargaining position of the nation, it is necessary to support the nation of all components including the political support in the development of national education more widely.

Education awards in the global society must start from the award given by the Indonesian people themselves. Because a great nation is a nation that can and will respect himself and communicative values contained in the cultural behavior. This is the only way to strengthen our bargaining position in the global society. Hopefully what we all aspire to build the education of children of this nation can put us on a more social level of dignity, and character.

The practical ways to improve children memory

Below I have to say some important things you can do to improve your child's memory. Some activities have a direct link with learning activities, and a few other activities do not.

The focus attention
Possible for someone to do more than one thing at the same time. We can have dinner and watch TV, or talking and driving a car. This means that as long as the job does not depend on the same mental processes, both can be done at one time. However, if both jobs depending on the type of the same mental processes (such as hearing stories and reading books), they could not be resolved. Capacity to pay attention to more than one thing at the same time varies for each person, and can be influenced by the vigilance, age and motivation.

If the child can do five or six events at the same time, it is impossible to remember many things at the time the child did.
Children will not be able to learn and remember the lessons well while watching TV, listening to the radio or while eating.

If your child is learning, try to contribute to help with removing all the things that can divide his attention. It is the parents should make time and special place for children to learn

Emotions At Involving Learning
Involving emotions in learning, the brain would be easier to remember the lesson material. Examples of learning by engaging the emotions of others:
- Read aloud
- Read with intonation
- Etc.

Still nothing to do with emotions, give joy to the child's feelings when he learned. Children may not learn well, when you scold.

Story In Learning
One of the most effective method to improve the child's memory is to use storytelling in learning methods. Children proved easier to remember a lesson, if delivered in story form. When listening to a story, children optimize the use of both hemispheres of the brain to absorb information. A story not only involves the child's reasoning, but also involves emotion.

Do you like the story / stories? I'm sure "YES". Because life is the story and the story contains. So it is with your child, he also liked to receive a lesson while in telling a story.

Description Of Amount First Learning
This is a learning technique powerful enough to improve children's memory. Each learning, children should learn the big picture of the lesson material.
For example when it comes to reading books,, the following steps can you teach to children:
- Read the title page and preface first. Not directly read the contents
- To learn table of contents
- Turn the page and read the back of the book index. Maybe there are key words that attract straight attention
- Starting from the first chapter and read a quick book. Read the topic title and brief key words of each chapter.
- At the end of each chapter, read the entire summary. If you have questions about the chapter, take the time to re-read those questions. Mark the questions you have can be answered piker

At the end of each chapter, ask your child to read the entire summary. If you have questions about the chapter, take the time to re-read those questions.

This principle can also develop in your other activities. For example, if the child can not read, you can explain something to the big picture first. And after that, you can describe details.

Gift Giving As A Stimulus
Give a gift and congratulations on the success of your child. Gifts and greeting you is stimulus will provide a positive impact on learning. And of course, also had a positive impact for improving memory.

Learn losing Spam
Some of which can interfere with children's learning include:
1. noise
2. music
3. quarrel
4. Television
5. Voice telephone
6. children play
7. toys
Keep away from children all over the disturb learn when your child is learning

Attention Improve The Or Concentration
Increasing the concentration of attention or the child's subject matter is important to improve memory. With increasing attention, it also means the child will know which material should be remembered and where the material does not need to remember. If the child can not learn when to give attention to the lesson material, it will be useless learning. As easy as any lesson, if no attention or concentration, then it would be easy too forget.

Children will not be able to give attention to something if he was tense, anxious, or in a state of stress. The first thing that must be the child so he could concentrate is relaxed.

Choosing Time Study
Provide for your child's learning time. And be consistent with time. All family members should appreciate the time to learn it. It's useless if you allocate certain hours of study time for your child, but there is no support from other family members.

Eliminate all nuisance factors in the study. Factor bullies learn include:
- Noise
- Television and radio
- Quarrel
- Games
- Etc.

Time Enough Sleep
At night, when children are sleeping, all short-term information downloaded into the long-term memory. Other decisions need to be made.
Was this information would I need to do tomorrow or in the near future? if the answer is yes, this information is stored in long-term memory-WORK.
If the answer is no, the information stored in long-term memory - ARCHIVES.

This is the importance of sleep for children. Better yet, if the child is also provided hours of sleep in the afternoon. This will provide better opportunities for improving the process of long-term memory.

Parents Support
However, parents of the children have a 'place' is important in life. All forms of treatment of parents in children, will have a considerable influence on the child.

If parents give maximum support to their children learning, the child would also absorb a maximum of learning materials. You would often see children whose parents have died or divorced. Most of them will be disrupted lessons. He was overwhelmed by the conditions of their parents. So in study he often forgot and difficult to understand the lesson.

Many forms of support can be given by parents to their children succeed in remembering his lesson and become achievers. Support may take the form:
1. Attitude
The attitude of parents who support children's learning is very important. Parents are 'cool' to learn her son would be bad for the children's learning achievements.
I've seen a child who actually has a high potential intelligence, but because their parents indifferent to the child's learning, so he became a 'normal'.

In fact, if parents had more attention and support children's learning, I'm sure the child easily becomes a bright boy.

2. Words
Words that motivate children to learn a very powerful way to improve memory of children. Have you ever felt how easy it is to absorb the subject matter, when you praised someone? Have you ever been so excited to learn after being motivated by someone else? I'm sure you've been there.

This condition also applies to your child. Give him motivation to encourage him. Say the words fun and positive giving hope to her. That way, you have helped to improve learning ability, and of course increase the memory.

Using Images
One of the ways humans to absorb information from the environment is by using visual means. Children learn visually by using vision. Well, one form of visual learning method is to use the images.

Can learning to further improve the image of our memory? Sure can. I myself to this often experienced. How hard I had to study in the Faculty of medicine, if only to read the writing, with no illustration of the image. I can tell when receiving lecture materials by faculty who use images that do not use images. And the explanation was a lecturer with the
use pictures much more easily understood than that without a picture. Unfortunately, most of my professors once, just rely on writing in giving lectures ... without using images.

Why use the image may improve memory in children learning? There are several reasons for this, among others:
- With pictures, children use a lot more sense to accept the lesson material. So it was easier to remember.

- With pictures, children prefer to learn. Compare if the child presented with only the writing course and told to memorize it. And with this also, I can say that the pictures give a positive emotion for children to learn. Positive emotion is needed in improving memory and concentration of children.
- With pictures, children are more able to grasp the purpose of the lesson. Proverb says "a picture can represent a thousand words". True. So the picture can explain more things and have a broad meaning.
- Scientifically speaking, the picture means that the child has learned something by using the two hemispheres of her brain, namely the left and right brain. By learning to use the two hemispheres of the brain, memory is much better child than if he only uses his left brain alone.

Nutrition And Good Enough
Nutrition has an important role in the child improve the memory. Memory associated with processes in the brain. And processes in the brain can run well if it is supported with adequate nutrition as well.

Therefore, give your child good nutrition and adequate. Good nutrition does not have to be expensive.
Learning Environment
Where is your child learn every day at home? Do you have provided a special place for him to learn? Do you provide a place for learning the "proper" to learn? Learning environment also affect children's learning process. Perhaps your child has a pretty good intelligence. But he could learn in a noisy place and a lot of noise? The answer of course: hard!
You must provide your child learn the "proper". The purpose of the learning environment "reasonable" is:
1. Specifically as a place to learn
Provide a place that was special as a place to learn.
Many parents provide a place to learn, but where the learning is usually also serves as a place to sleep. What consequences? Because the place is a place to sleep, so that only makes the child drowsy.
2. No noise
The noise you just broke the concentration of children's learning, so that it would be difficult to remember the lesson. Noise sources can come from humans, television, tapes, etc..
3. Structuring a neat room
I used to have to live with relatives who have had two children in elementary school. Almost every day the children are always losing pens and books. And this upset her parents. So that the parents often say: "
You are still the children senile? "
Are these kids are already senile? Of course it is not. They're not senile. Which makes them often "lost baggage" is due to a lack of spatial good. If only the living arrangement was staged and all the members
family is consistent, then there would no longer be "lost baggage".

You should also note is, where he was school. School is where your child's primary learning. School environment also affect the results of your child's learning

On Positive Mental Grow Child
As a child, I often receive words "you can not", "how could you be" and the negative words of others. These words I received from friends or relatives. Of course, these words have an impact on my life at that time. I really can not feel, insecure, lost before the war and became not do anything. These words really affect me.

This also applies to children. Your child's mental condition positive as possible so that he can grow and develop optimally. Avoid words and negative actions against them. Because it will result in negative their mental as well. Negative mental and would deprive them of learning something in his life. Negative mental also makes it feel not. I'm sure you agree with this.

Can you learn, let alone remember something well, when you mentally more "drop". Of course, could not it???
And it turned out this problem in general also apply to humans, not just the children. If our mental positive, then we can do anything. A simple example is that I experienced.

Motivation
Have you been to the bookstore? I am sure, not just once but that often. You are a fan of the book. The proof you are willing to read ebook. If you like reading the ebook, let alone a book? And usually people who love books, they also often to the bookstore. Or at least keep track of the books.

If you go to the bookstore, would meet a lot of motivational books. In fact there are some publishers who publish books specifically motivation. The publisher is understood correctly that the publication of motivational books is a business opportunity that is promising.

Proved these books managed to give a big advantage for the publisher. And even many motivational books that became best sellers. Why is motivation so important to most people. No other because the motivation to give strength. With human motivation can do many things. And the motivation something previously thought impossible, could become a reality.

How about giving the child's motivation? Does it matter? Of course, the motivation for the child provides many benefits. Benefits include:
- Making children more confident
- Children are not inferior
- A child could do something more than basic skills
- Children will do all the activities gladly
- And many other benefits.

Is motivation an impact on children's memory? The answer is "Yes". All the benefits of energizing motivation for children to more easily remember. Children also will be easier to concentrate, something sorely needed in improved memory.

Voice In Learn
This is one of the ancient techniques, but it still works to improve children's memory.
Allow your child speak when he was studying. Do not forbid him when he read the book aloud. Each child has a learning style of their own. There are children who are eager to learn the sound, there are children who prefer quiet in the study.
Well, if your child the kind of "sound", let him with such style.

The ban will give you just a bad impact for mental. Speaking can indeed enhance our memory. I personally have experience. While in college, I've followed the Koran memorization institutions.

I am grateful, as it can memorize juz 5 (approximately 90 pages). One of my method of memorizing the Holy Qur'an is read aloud. With the sound, I can more quickly memorize the Koran. What if I can memorize without a voice? Can .... But less than optimal and it took a long time ....

That is proof that the sound can improve your child's memory. The sound does not disturb others.

Use of Color
The use of color can improve memory in a child's learning. How? Here are some applications the use of color in the child improve memory:
1. Provide a highlighter or colored pencils for children to mark the important lesson material. By marking an important word or phrase in the text books will help children focus on these important materials.
2. Let your child use a pen or colored pencils.
3. If you buy a book or reading material for children, choose a color different.

Why the color can improve memory of children. ? With warn, right brain child also took part in the study. Color also provides a positive influence on the child's mental. The bright colors give the impression of a happy and fun

Facilitate Your Child Learn
As I katakana at the beginning, parents have a "position" is very important in his heart. How happy the child if he could be accompanied by their parents while learning. This happy feeling just a lot a positive impact on learning and memory of children. Especially if the parents can contribute to help as many children learn.

One of the things that can be done by parents to children improve memory is, give your child some questions about the material that will be studied. Do this before your child learn. Your question will make the child's curiosity and desire to find answers. In this way, the memory of the child on the material better than if he just read the book alone.
You can find other ways to assist your child in learning.

But the most important thing is not to do something for the kids felt as "intimidation". Many parents are impatient with the slowness of the child in learning. Finally, these parents became "security" for the child. Children do not feel secure when their parents accompany the study. Expect precisely the child's parents to go.
Function accompany you when your child is learning as a facilitator who provides guidance and a sense of security. Not vice versa.

Intone Lessons
This is also one of the ancient technique that still works to improve memory. Why children are taught kindergarten a lot of songs? Because the song that they can absorb the lesson material. With their song memorized values of live.

This technique is not taboo to be applied by the children over kindergarten. I also apply this technique to memorize the Koran. You can train a child to intone the lesson material is difficult.

A Historical Perspective for Classical Education

Education, as we all know, has become a reality which is inseparable from human life. Man is a species that experienced prolonged-childhood, in contrast to other species. Prolonged-childhood this is the way people used to maintain the continuity of his life as a species and the history proves (at least so far) that humans are the most successful species. During this prolonged-childhood, children are exempted from the obligation to maintain life, and dependent adults, namely parents. This advantage, in the form of energy and time to spare the child, is dedicated to learning, as a human cultural learning process which will be used as a means of survival guarantor and his group. Culture itself, not genes, which has made people so adaptive to any change in nature. For that education becomes a necessity for human existence on this earth.

Our current education, modern education, is a tool used to learn how to survive in this era. All education tailored to the needs of this age. The children now have been introduced early on with computers, because computers have become a new identity in this era. We also learn to obey the law (and also dodged him). We study economics to understand how the money spinning at this age. We also often hear jargon like a link-and-match who want college graduates to be directly absorbed by the industry. Indeed, education is now the golden child of this age. As a child a good education should prepare screws, nuts and oil to the world engine can run smoothly. Education teaching children how to fit students into this world. The children are provided with all the skills they will need in the world of work: accounting, engineering, medical science, law, and others. Education to address the skill needs of time-oriented.

Is there something wrong with this? Yes! Education has betrayed the original purpose, namely to prepare people to face the challenges of change in the future. Education no longer bring light the way for civilization, but have become slaves to maintain a time, a system status quo. What can be expected from this kind of education? We're all just going into the abyss like a runaway Juggernaut, to borrow a phrase Giddens, without being reminded. Education, as a servant of this era, the capitalist era, has been enslaved by the owner of this era, the owners of capital owners, to power. Education does not prepare us how to be human, but a means, becomes merely a "human resources".

You may protest that education today is far more advanced than in earlier times. In earlier times people can not make cars, planes and 'mobile'. Now, technological advances have facilitated the joints of our lives, thanks to education. Not so fast. If you say that education is better now, of course people in this age are better able to think critically. Critical thinking skills would make them able to think for themselves free from outside influence. Then to what the ad budget may be trillions of dollars spent each year to persuade people who should be able to "think critically". You might also argue that we now know more than antiquity. Remember, knowing more does not mean knowing them better. Can operate with MMS enabled mobile phones, voice mail, GPRS or whatever else his name does not make you a better human being, let alone more wisely.

Also with the demands of time, the current education not only prepares children to be human being, but also had taken the child from the joy of learning. How many children who can not wait to go to school for merely liked it. Not funny if a lot of kids who committed suicide as well as in Japan and Singapore because of pressure from the curriculum and parents are so intense. This demand is none other than the time demands of an increasingly competitive and the inability to survive means excluded.

Let us first see how the education in ancient Greece. Education in the era of education is not like today. Young children learn in the streets. Simonizes in one poem says, "The city teaches man". They learned geography by listening to conversations of traders who had just returned from the land side. They also learn various skills, such as blacksmith and carpentry, with attention, because at times it was people doing things in front of their homes. They learn to listen to debate politics with people in the agora (market), the price of goods, taxes, etc., and the Greeks are happy to debate. It seems that they learn in a way that is more fun than us. Next in Greece comes the Sophist who introduced new methods in education, the oratory and rhetoric. They take advantage of their eloquence argued to explain an issue. Unfortunately they are not servants of truth, but the servants themselves, who use their strengths to find the money and position. Until some time in between them comes Socrates in Athens, a clever argument but also interested in the truth. He was able to defeat the Sophist in the general debate in the market. Socrates, who got the nickname of the wisest man in Greece, changing the method of education by asking intelligent questions to the boys who followed him, to force them to think. And one of his followers, Plato, eventually established a school, which was nothing more than a get-together at a park named Academes, so that the school is named Academia. There they argued about the subject nature, the state and what occurred to them, continuing a tradition that has been constructed by Socrates. One pupil of Plato, Aristotle, also founded the school with the spirit of roughly the same, although with a different philosophy, called the Lyceum. The two schools is that underlie most of the thinking in the world today.

Roman era, after the Greek conquest, beginning marked by the decline of educational ideals. Education Graeco-Roman style became more pragmatic, which is only intended to give birth rather than thinkers, but only to become a servant ruler, something that was condemned by Plato. It should be recognized that engineering is growing rapidly in that period, marked by the development everywhere. But on the other hand the number of thinkers have petered out, only left on enlightened individuals such as Marcus Aurelius and Cicero. Finally Rome itself was porous, and the conquest of other nations only a matter of time.

Furthermore, as we know, since Rome fell to the barbarians, having a dark European. Education becomes the right of the church elite, who became guardians of civilization. Education was going through dormant for centuries. Platonic texts and Aristotelian banned for being pagan writings. Education is only directed at the theology, the core of biblical studies. Meanwhile, quietly and systematically, the ancient Greek intellectual property, especially Aristotle's school, moved to the Arab and finally incredible growth there. Arab world can be said to be a pioneer in the advancement of philosophy and science in those days.

Education finally back in Europe, especially in Italy, after the Renaissance movement. Renaissance itself is one of the consequences brought by the Crusades, which allows the migration of intellectual property back to the land of ancient Europe. The first university was standing around the year 1158 in Bologna, which centered on the study of law. After that followed in Paris with the study of art and theology. Europe was re-developed. Science and technology progress extraordinary, while the Arab world again bleak. The return of science baton from Arabic, slowly but steadily giving birth a new generation. A man named Copernicus, who subvert geocentric theory, start a revolution in Europe. Big names who were inspired by him following a breakthrough that never imagined before. And Europe (plus the U.S.) to date was a Mecca of knowledge.

An other developments occurred in Prussia (Germany embryo), which we will feel until now. In the period 1713-1786 was issued some legislation that requires the children to school, the nationalization of the school, banning private education (at home), certified teachers, the concept of learning hours (± 45 minutes-1 hour), courses, tuition, education subsidies , and exams. Education back again, like the ancient Roman era, a government servant. Education is dedicated to professionals, to meet the demand for professional workers in all sectors. Germany had developed into a nation known for professionalism so far. Science is reduced to a subject, set aside a holistic approach that characterizes classical education. The characteristics of this Prussian school model that is characteristic of modern education to the present, which brings professionalism, specialization and pragmatism. This educational model rather than go without criticism. Ralph Waldo Emerson, a poet and essayist of the United States, criticizing government policies that send about 9000 people to study in Germany, which aims to produce experts who will be driving development in the United States. He said that "a man should be a good human being before he became a farmer, carpenter and a good engineer."

You could say that I was a reactionary or laudatory temporize act (devotee of the past). But please consider further facts right now and honestly say whether this civilization toward a better direction. There progress here is to make our lives easier. But on the other hand we are also getting away from our nature as a complete human being. Life becomes increasingly artificial. And all this was going to bring us to destruction. Global warming, pollution, natural, species-species extinctions, and economic colonization is just a few examples of the problems on this earth. Our planet is dying. It seems not impossible that later caused his own doom by mankind.

Life for keeping and having a job

Peace is when considering not regret yesterday, when seeing these days do not worry, and imagine tomorrow if not daunting. Peace is actually a job. If ordinary people think the same job with the money, then measured by financial wealth, it really only rich people who when meeting other people do not fear being billed, when entering the house was not afraid to eat less money, and if you enter the shopping center does not worry goods prices.

A good job is not just a job that pays a lot to you, but not the job can not give life to you. Not a grand office with high salaries who are ready to exploit your pride, not a room where you are ready to accept orders only, and not also a chair that can only be obtained by cheating. But the work (the workplace, type of work, work objectives, work) is a world of good where you could say my life to keep this job.

KEEPING A JOB FOR LIFE.
Regret will not change the tears to my eyes water. Not useful and should never do! Regrets only be done when we've been far in front of the door regret it. Actually, people who will be happy are those who will regret it. You'll begin to regret when you realize that you work for is just to maintain your life. Much for your weak position (from the function or result) has made you too busy to just survive. It felt cramped office just to find a gap salary, your room was crowded to just let go of imagination, or maybe your seat simply too fragile to hold idealism. If so immediately change your job, your office up, open the door of your room, and throw your chair, soon you will be away from the door of regret, and left just enough work to keep you alive.

Changing STREET LIFE
Way of life like a chicken in your own hand. Suppose that grips you hide behind the body, and then ask a friend you. "Is that the chick will die?" If someone else said they would die, then release your grip and the chicks will stay alive. If someone else says it is still alive strengthen your grip until it dead chicks. If the person is a true friend then he would say that life or death depends on the chick's your will, and only you and your god knows, not someone else. A true friend can only help to change the way of life without having to change the course.
