Indonesia is a country that have diverse range of societies and culture. One of which is their country music, dangdut is a popular traditional music that consist of pleasent and harmonical melody that makes you wanna dance. Tabla as the main percussion beat that creates a flow of rhythm. Most Indonesian people love  to listen dangdut, and it's only been played on special occasion, such as; wedding ceremony, festival, or concert.

Music is a form of art, that can unify people all around the world because people can relate to the song, as well as feeling inspired. furthermore music is a form of entertainment, where people can express their own feeling through dance and sing.

Attitude Toward Drugs Abuse

My attitude toward drugs can somewhat be a mixed feeling. Where drugs can be view as a substance  that are injected in to the body, which were used for medical treatment in term of altering their body’s function physically and emotionally. Some countries believe that drugs should be legal, while others believe that drugs should be illegal.

As most people believe that drugs is used for medical treatment, but nowadays society have miss used drugs as part of their entertainment purposes. Some believe lead to believe that drugs are used for escaping reality, to fit in, to be seen like a grownups, as well as to experiment. As they believe drugs are a solution towards problem. But eventually drugs become the problem. As humans, it is in our nature to try something new by taking risk and experimenting.

Drugs can be view as a poisons, where the amount of drugs that are taken will determine the effect. Small amount of drugs can make your body stimulated, which allows you to have more energy. Greater amount will sedating your body. Excess amount drugs can lead to a poisons and can cause death.

Drug user can affect your physical and mental health. Which can lead to social problem and causing it to destroy your environment, such as; friends and families. The use of drugs can directly affect your mind. Which it can distort your perception of what’s happening around you. Leading to a person action are considered to be odd, irrational, as well as inappropriate.

Indonesia is a countries that considered to have a lot of drug user. In the eyes of the government, drug use is a serious issues. Drugs problem were mostly found on a major cities, particularly in Jakarta and Yogyakarta. Which lead to attract many tourist who’s seeking a holiday fueled by drugs. President Joko Widodo has given the authorities of wider powers, as well as enhancing drug laws. Where of the laws include death penalty for the dealers and traffickers.

Happiness

what is happiness to you?

 for me personally happiness is a positive energy that are emitted by our emotion due to various things that are happening. Enjoy = happiness, the more you enjoy yourself the happier you will become.


do you think that you are living a happy life? why or why not?

right now I'm living a happy life. as I'm entering college I'm free from my parents and It's my dream to stay in Japan.


some people believe that the happiest time in a person life is when they are a child? do you agree?

"happirst time in a person life is when they are a child" for me personally I'm strongly disagree with this statement. Life is full of happiness, just do what you what you want to do and if you don't want to do it, than don't do it. Every people have a choice to make and it all depends on how you make your life become more enjoyable in the face of hardships.


do you think people are happier than they were in the past?

Some people can be more happier than they were in the past. Those kind of people are usually a successful people or people who enjoyed their job. While others, would think, that they were happier in the past. Those kind of people are either not successful people or they don't like their job.


do you consider happiness as a goal to achieve?

no, since I'm already enjoying my life which lead me to believe that happiness is not a goal to achieve but how you can utilize your surrounding and making it become more enjoyable.

Changes in my Country

I came from a country that are considered a Muslim majority country, and has the largest muslim population. Indonesia is a country that are located in Southeast Asia, some countries considered Indonesia as producer of various type of mining materials, such as; petroleum, tin, natural gas, nickel, copper, bauxite, coal, gold, and silver.

Indonesia have 17.504 island that contain 32 province and home to hundreds of ethnic groups, that speak different language. 

If I can change one thing in my own country, I would like to change their energy source. Indonesia is a country that still use natural resource as their source of energy, even though some natural resource are nonrenewable and this may lead to environmental issues, such as; global warming, and deforestation. Global warming have been a problem to many countries, while some countries are trying to prevent global warming others still doesn't care. CO2 emission s in Indonesia are high and the cause of this issues was mostly due to deforestation and construction.

My Writing Goals

 My problem in writing an essay was that the longer I wrote an essay the harder it gets to stay connected with the topic. Every time I wrote a long essay, there was a time when my essay has no connection with the topic. which lead the reader, unable to understand my essay. furthermore, I have a problem in writing an essay was due to my limited grammar, which prevents me to use more sensible and more appropriate grammar in my essay. 

I want to make an essay, that can attract the reader emotionally and physically. either to persuade them, giving information, explanation or entertainment. It's important for me to learn how to construct a good essay, which allows me to understand the structure of an essay and how to attract the reader in reading my essay.

So for my goal for this semester is to improve my writing style, improve my grammar, and my vocabulary. train myself in using the right vocabulary which enables me to write a proper conclusion that supports my research. I hope that I can improve my writing skills, in a way of making the readers can easily understand my essay.
