Will There Still Be Schools and Teachers in the Future?-Final

Many people claim that in one day, schools and teachers will be extinct. We can see that with the rapid pace of development in information and technology, people are more independent in learning and rely less and less on their teachers.

I do agree that students rely less and less to their teachers nowadays. In most modern curriculums, students are pushed to be more independent in learning and rely less to their teachers. Added with the advent of information technology, and ease of access to the information today, students can get their materials for their study much easier, and therefore, rely less on their teachers.

In the other hand, teachers' role is still irreplaceable. Even though that we can learn by ourselves thanks to the internet, but sometimes, there are materials that we can't understand and we need someone to explain it. Also, we can't learn by ourselves-We still need teachers to teach us.

In the end, we are still unable to replace the teachers' role. Even though that now we can find and learn about the information that we find on the internet by ourselves, but we still need a teacher when facing a difficult theory to understand or question to solve. So we can say that for a long, long time, teachers will still play a big role in education.

What's Popular in Indonesia-Final

The aim for this report is to represent what is popular in Indonesia. To gather the data, I interviewed my friends in class and use some other references as well. The report here covers food, sport, music, TV shows, and methods of transportation.

First, I'd like to explain the kinds of popular foods in Indonesia. There are actually many kinds of food in Indonesia such as Nasi Goreng, Nasi Uduk, Soto Betawi, Soto Kudus, and etc. However, as time advances, many kinds of new food are introduced in Indonesia, like fast foods, Pizza, and etc. But from what I find, most of the people here would prefer traditional foods.

Secondly, I'd like to explain what kind of popular music in Indonesia. Indonesia has many kinds of traditional music, with the most famous being Dangdut. But as of now, only about 5-15% of teenagers like us who like Dangdut. And about 90-95% of teenagers here like to listen to modern Indonesian pop songs which are mostly dominated by boybands and girlbands. Also, some of us like other kind of music like K-Pop, J-Pop, and etc.

Third, I'd like to explain about popular methods of transportation in Indonesia. Even though that most, if not all the students here use private cars, but in truth, the most popular method of transportation here is motorcycles, or to be precise, "Motor Bebek" thanks to their small size and maneouverability to cope with traffic jams in big cities like Jakarta. Many Indonesians also like to use public transportations like Metromini, Kopaja, and KRL for them to go around. And those vehicles are usually overcrowded.

Fourth, I'd also like to explain about popular kinds of Television shows here. Most of the students I asked prefer reality shows and Sinetron (Sinema Elektronik-Lit. Electronic Cinema-Soap Opera). However, some of the teenagers here also like Japanese animation, also known as Anime

From this report, I can say that most of the teenagers here prefer modern things over traditional things, even though that the traditional ones still keep strong existence until now. Most of us also share interests between each other. My closing words are that it is okay to like modern things, but remember to keep traditional culture's existence as they originate from Indonesia, so it's up to us to keep its existence or not. That is all.

Will It Be Possible To Live Forever?-Final

Many people say that it will be possible to live forever in the future. This is of course, an interesting idea for us. But I don't think it will really happen.

It is true that there's an amazing progress of medical technology over the past decades. In the few last decades, scientists have invented many new kinds of medical technology and were able to eliminate most of once deadly diseases in the 20th centuries such as Polio, Smallpox, and many others. They also have developed a technique that is called Cyronics to preserve humans and animals, with hopes of healing and resuscitation in the future

But we should remember that eternal live will never be possible. Even with all the advancements in medical technologies, scientists are still unable to invent a technique that allows a person to live forever. Also, the efforts of achieving physical immortality has raised many questions in medical, philosophical, and religion aspects. For example, even though major religions in the world do believe about afterlife, but none of them that has a belief of physical immortality.

In the end, I can say that physical immortality will never be possible. Even with the advances of medical technology, there's still no way to achieve what we call "immortality", and we might never be able to achieve it. Also, God has stated that everything that lives will return to Him, and will be resurrected in the afterlife. So, it's perfectly safe to believe that we will never be able to live forever.

Will There Still Be Schools and Teachers in the Future?

Many people claim that someday, schools and teachers will eventually extinct. We can see that today, with the rapid pace of development in Information Technology, such as E-Learning, Internet, and such made people are more and more independent in study and rely less and less on their teachers.

I do agree that students rely less and less on their teacher. In most modern curriculum, students are forced to be more active in learning, and with the advent of technology and ease of access to information on their hands, they can easily find the materials they need to study on the Internet, so they'll rely less to their teachers.

In the other hand, teachers' role is still not replaceable. Even though that we are now able to learn by ourselves without teachers, but often, there's a material on the Internet that we can't understand well, and the only one who can explain it is our teacher. Also, we of course can't learn by ourselves and still need to be taught by a teacher.

In the end, it is still clear that we can never replace teachers' role. It doesn't matter if we can learn and find all the information by ourselves, but we still need a teacher in many situations when we face a difficult question to solve, or a difficult to understand theory. So, we can say that for a very long time, teachers will still play important role in education.

Teenage Nowadays Final

Teenage is such an age where everything changed. It's up to the person, what do you want to become?

In modern era like this, technology such as blackberry, television, social networks, and many more have really big influence in habits of teenagers nowadays. It's not rare to see even kids, have their own iPhone.

In class, teens used to be so polite and listen to the teachers, but now, you can see they have their iPod or blackberry in the class, when teachers explain about the subjects.

They often go home late, skipping classes, surfing the net every night, they smoke, and many of them drink alcohol even though it's not legal in their ages, and some even using drugs.

They don't want to listen to their parents, most of them are rude, like wild, rebellious animal that have no dreams and good personality.

In Indonesia, especially, not all of teenagers have their 'something' that lead them to a good way. Most of those kinds of teenagers are the one who usually, don't get enough attention from their parents, or gave up their dreams already. But of course, not all of teenagers are like that.

You can still find the one that passion in their hobbies like reading, experimenting, drawing, and try to develop their talents like singing and such. With this kind of teenagers, sure Indonesia can be a developed country, which has more than enough good future leaders.

Will There Still Be Schools and Teachers in The Future? Final

Many people study. Though they don’t like the idea of studying, most of them still come to school to get what they thought, boring lessons. Eventually, they work hard to go passed the exams so they could graduate. The problem is, what will they become?

We couldn’t quite find how much people now still want to become a teacher. There are many ways to study, thus, not all of people think that a teacher is convenient. Referred to that theory, maybe teacher will extinct someday. However, there are some people think teacher is a admirable job, so they become one. If that's so, teachers won't completely disappear.

Until now, school is still a proper way to develop knowledge. There’s no sign of extinction for them even though many people claimed maybe schools and teachers will someday vanished.

In my opinion, it’s not about how much students hate the lessons, homework, schools and teachers, but how much they care for the future they have. True, not all of them care about whatever future lie there. But the numbers who don’t care doesn’t have any great impact in a world of education.
