That the Ordinary Extraordinary Be (Motivation for Writing)

This paper we publish the reasons I hope to be a motivation for reading, to be able to start something positive from the things that are considered small or even trivial. – Red –

This is just a reflection or a kind of a learning process and can also be a motivation to the front so that better, more productive, more meaningful and contains, posts which can be published.

This is not anything, just bear in mind, a kind of flashback or writings about the birth of the very top of the gift of the creator, the motivation of other writers, even the motivation of people terdekatku, who always inspired, to continue writing, even if it is still simple.

Alhamdulillah, it appeared that any posts that my article entitled “Adolescent mischief or naughtiness Parents,” which I try munculkan in www.ubb.ac.id, visited by thousands of people as readers. Subhanallah that much fun reading it. Because the contents of return may be ‘because it is a portrait of daily life that always surround or accompany our lives. He continues to exist and appear from time kewaktu, in seconds, minutes, hours, days, months and even years. Like a circle that is not lost. Dido adolescents is a phenomenon which is very interesting for peeled out. But the more interesting is the mischievousness of the parents.

The desire to write, it is not easy, it takes a strong desire, sometimes feel lazy to write to us so terrible whack. But if the spirit again, writing that can be completed in one day, even in a matter of minutes. But there were also words that can be completed in 1 week. In fact, many can be any posts for months can not be completed. This is the fact that I often experienced.

Inspiration to write when I can sometimes be on the way back and forth, and one can complete the writing. But it can only write in my mind, not through a sketch. He just settle into imaji, after the application you want to in any posts that break all the ideas, not missing berbekas. It is true what the author said Asma Nadia productive, that when the idea emerged to write, any posts cepatlah poured through, do not delay in, because later it will disappear as such.

There are things that are very interesting, one of any posts I can not be completed until a week, there are about ten pages. Was amazed when it was also a strong desire that appears, then any posts we will flow like water, writing me, entitled “What You Find Varca?”, Or can be born only a few days.

All words that appear because of the intervention of many other people who can become inspirator, via any posts they can be used as reference texts available. Thanks to all the parties that the idea has become writings available. Because they are in fact first wrote about the problems adolescent mischief that eventually become a reference material in this paper. Especially to God, because only he who is able to move my hands and able to write to me. The writings are far from perfect, is very simple and many kekurangannya. Thanks to the visitors that God is willing to move the heart and want to read these articles. Hopefully useful.

Phenomena and Role of Citizen Journalism Blogger Indonesia for Internet Journalism

It is correct what is said by Steve Outing in the writings of “The 11 Layers of Citizen Journalism”, the term citizen journalism at this time to be One of the Hottest Buzzword in the world of journalism.

It’s outdated and behind the words of this. Citizen journalism spoken by anyone who observed the development of the media, both those in the circle in the media, such as practitioners, kru and media owners, and those outside the media, observers such as the media. Less gaul, it seems, if the issue behind this.

For those who have long read the dynamics of the world of journalism in the most esensinya, citizen journalism is actually only a problem in each term.

Spiritnya remain the same as public journalism or civic journalism in the famous 80-an. That is, things are not what makes journalism a more ranah is solely occupied by journalists.

Predominantly in the sense produced, managed, and disseminated by the media institutions, in the name of business or political interests.

So, what the difference between public journalism phenomenon with rame-rame soal citizen journalism now? There. The difference, I think, lies in the progress of media technology, so that the spirit of participatory public involvement in defining the issues terakomodasi.

In addition, advances in technology make access to public media to enter the journalism ranah open. Enthusiasm, once again, remain the same. That is, the public journalism approach. The difference, open source in the present had the course, when the more developed media technology.

Definition of Citizen Journalism

Basically, there is no change of activity of journalism is defined around the activity collect, process, and disseminate news. Citizen journalism basically involves such activities.

However, if in conventional journalism pemaknaan (suddenly become old journalism school after citizen journalism appear), who is a journalist event, now the public can also participate and do things that ordinary journalists conducted in media institutions. Therefore, Shayne Bowman and Chris Willis then defines citizen journalism as’ … the act of citizens playing an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analyzing, and disseminating news and information. “

There are several terms associated with the concept of citizen journalism. Public journalism, advocacy journalism, participatory journalism, participatory media, open source reporting, distributed journalism, citizens media, advocacy journalism, grassroot journalism, until we-the media.

Civic journalism, according to Wikipedia, not because of citizen journalism done by the journalist even though enthusiasm is still senada with public journalism, which is (more) serve the public with the public issues.

Citizen journalism is a specific form of citizen media with the content coming from the public. In Indonesia, the terms appear to citizen journalism or participatory journalism is journalism citizen.

J.D. Lasica, in Online Journalism Review (2003), mengategorikan media citizen journalism into 5 types:

1. Audience participation (such as komenter user who is attached to news stories, personal blogs, photos or video      footage captured from handycam private, or local news written by community members).
2. Web site news or information independent (Consumer Reports, Drudge Report).
3. Pure participatory news sites (OhmyNews).
4. Collaborative media sites (Slashdot, Kuro5hin).
5. Other forms of media from the ‘thin’ (mailing list, e-mail newsletter).
6. Private broadcasting sites (video broadcasting sites, such as KenRadio).

There are at least two things that bring style citizen journalism such as this now.

First, a commitment to public voices.
Second, advances in technology that change the landscape mode of communication.

Public journalism is associated with the frequent advocacy journalism concept because some media does not move any further with the issue, but also mengadvokasikan issues to become a “product” or “action” – mengegolkan laws, adding the city parks, open classes for minority groups, forming the government watch, establish a commission supervisor mayor candidates campaign, and others.

Public or citizen journalism hyperlocalism also associated with the commitment that is Luarbiasa on local issues, the “small” (size for mainstream media), so that escape from the mainstream media coverage.

Public journalism with a base model like this most of the initiatives of the media institutions. Infinitude of progress and technology offered by the Internet to make such initiatives may appear from the consumer or audience.

Quite a lot of implications, not simply reinforce participatory aspects and issues raised.

Issues and Implications Citizen journalism

I believe that the advances in technology (communication) or change the landscape of social spaces we.

The development of citizen journalism has made incredible-I grew up in the tradition of Old School for Journalism invites a number of implications that are not small.

Some of them, which is observed by me, is as follows:

1. Open source reporting: changes to the news collection. Journalists do not become the sole collector of information. However, in the context of a journalist should also ‘compete’ with the audience, who provide firsthand reporting from the field.
2. Changes in the management of the news. Do not rely solely on open source reporting, the media is now no longer be the only manager news, but also must compete with the sites established by private citizens in the interest of the public as citizen journalism.
3. Mengaburnya limit the producers and consumers. Media often memosisikan as news producers, consumers now also become the news with a quote from the news sites citizens. Similarly, vice versa. Audience that is often positioned as a news consumer, within the scope of citizen journalism to become producers of news content is also accessible by mainstream media. Oh my God, duniaaa ….
4. Points 1-2-3 show audience as active participants in producing, mengkreasi, would also mendiseminasi news and information. This factor in turn create ‘a new balance-of power’ the new distribution of power. Threat of a new power (like if called as a threat) for the institution of the press not from the government and ideology, or fellow competitors, but from the audience or consumers who usually serve them!
5. Issues of professionalism: whether each of citizen journalism can be called a journalist? In fact, the citizen journalism slogan everybody could be a journalist! What bloggers can be referred to as the real journalist?
6. Ethical issue: whether the individual citizen journalism have to comply with the standards of journalism among journalists apply for this product so that it can be called a work of journalism? We are talking a matter of journalistic principle, which is taught in the journalist-can rule was still valid? Often, the discourse in frequent touch rule is a matter of journalistic objectivity coverage, and the credibility of journalists / media.
7. Regulatory issues: Is the regulation for the citizen journalism? Relation to ethics, professionalism, komersialiasi, quality and content.
8. Economic issues: the emergence of sites of citizen journalism that many visited cause economic consequences, namely the advertiser, which is not small. Press, according to Jay X is basically the media franchise franchise or public service in journalism.
9. If the citizen media and also now appear in the play ranah commercial, this is only a consequence ‘the enlarging of the media franchise. Economic issues are also invited another debate. If the contributor was citizen journalism news voluntarily entered, is now emerging debate how they should pay.

Have paid, of course there are standards that must be obeyed according bayarannya. Finally, this invite-entry issues of professionalism in the context of something that eventually even a certain ‘opposite’ with the spirit of citizen journalism.

How the fate the old school journalism in the future with the emergence of citizen journalism? Are old school tradition of journalism will still survive in the future?

That’s some issues that will always be raised and discussed in a seminar that talked any particulars citizen journalism.

Citizen Journalism in Indonesia

I started the public journalism phenomenon in mid-1990s. One thing that encourage me is whether the concept of development journalism or journalism of the curriculum taught in journalism studies in 1980-1995an (I was one of the products!) Is extant public journalism? I decided, NO.

First, aspects partisipatorinya not real. Fixed issue decided by the media (frequent top ‘blessing’ The Department of)-even though the slogan of development, anywhere, always declare subjugate themselves to the public.

Second, the ideology of development journalism is basically the ideology of development communication that have been bankrupt in the year 80-an (dibangkrutkan by its own penggagasnya as Everett M. Rogers), because they are too ideological, Utopian, and totalitarian.

I am interested in the geliat citizen journalism in Indonesia, through discussions with friends activist concerning open source reporting that seems to correct the senada posts Pepih Nugraha in Kompas daily, that the particulars of participatory journalism.

I follow Indonesiasatu.net who proclaim themselves as citizen journalism. Invitation to look in this site is convincing, with good looks tergarap (updatingnya albeit slowly), there are profiles of the example, but honestly just disappointed because I did not find anything different with the other daily.

It’s like reading the local news from local newspapers which can be accessed online via the local media, this site is no need to proclaim itself as the (figure) pengusung citizen journalism.

Hyperlocalism which I imagine is not like this. So many news hodgepodge without a clear idea of the structure, without the site visitor on the show this would actually be brought to Where.

This is pure open source reporting, but I wonder, what is citizen journalism exist (instead of citizen reporting)?

Pesta Blogger Indonesia strengthen the appeal citizen journalism. The growth in blogs indeed any phenomenon Luarbiasa – 13,000 established blog every day!.

But, when visiting some blogs that he said many in-hit, I only get foreverglo foreverglo-personal view is without importance for the public? (Although, just honest, I enjoy the personal foreverglo).

Or, what kind of public issue that can properly dimaknai from foreverglo is personal? I thought, blog are likely to open the open source reporting, a blog and blogger The growth conditions that are conducive to bring citizen journalism, but the blog just is not enough to be given predicate is pro-citizen journalism.

Citizen Journalism, in other words, is not that easy!

Of some phenomenon before, I learn many things. One of them is a matter of issue. I learned that from there to enter the world of citizen journalism, which seems to have brought not just the standard reporting capabilities and preparing news ala 5W + 1 H.

But it also matters how the issue of ‘the personal becomes public, the personal becomes public. Without it, I think, just get the public information series without meaning.

A citizen journalism site become the property of citizen, public property, if many visitors. Thus, the citizen journalism should be able to maintain the site contents, and to invite public participation, to open discussions in a clear frame (a matter of quality, so-so controversial).

Without all this, as well as any site, and any sebombastis slogan jurnalismenya, only to become a site-filled desert, comedy, dikeploki by their own managers. Unfortunately, because of the potential resources, so tersia anymore.

However, I am happy with the phenomenon of new and serious challenges that appear by citizen journalism.

I think the effect will be good for both of them, both for the public and the mainstream media. As the system of the press and strong dibingkai influenced by local culture, I also believe, citizen journalism exist alone in the end will vary according to the local community culture mengusungnya.

Tradition of the Good Writing for Women

Women, Menulislah! For the sake of justice, equality, humanity and beauty

I think we should maraknya delighted to welcome the presence of women writers in Indonesia perbukuan Jagat. The more women who can express and disseminate ideas through any posts luaskan is a positive signal in the close community that we berkeadilan.

Realize it or not, the structure of society that is not just between women and men still occur in our society. The problem is not only gender inequality issues individu.Ada a set of paradigms that have been embedded in the head man who does not just apply to women. This is the issue of society, culture and country as a whole as a social system.

Language reflects the society that uses it. But on the community level where there are structures that gender bias and tend not fair to women, it is also reflected in the akan language. For example, we still only use the term Baby Tuna Susila (WTS), which is aimed at female sex workers. However, the term Male Tuna Susila as the ‘buyer’ of the services of women sex workers or men mucikari often not used. While prostitution activities will only take place according to the law and request a quote, which involved women and men. So why are women digelari ‘immoral’?

According to philosopher Michel Foucalt a mahzab Post-strukturalis, language summarize the knowledge about the world. If you want dikritisi, the language we use is not neutral but the media representations that play a role in the reproduction of meaning. So speak the language can not be disengaged from the relationship of power, especially in the formation of the subject and action representation in the community.

In a patriarchal society, the perempuanlah the lack of power or of power scarcity. So to improve the structure of a more equitable society, a strategy must be women who are talking! According to Foucalt against women must be a ’speaking subject’, which also means “the subject of the statement.”

Silence and quiet will be a shelter for power, then women should appear, and refused to speak as the object. As Helen Cixous, French feminist, it is very important for women to break kebisuan strategies reinforce the text with the speech and writing.

Then it is important for a woman to appear as the subject, in this case as the author. We as women have a moral obligation to utter sounds of women during this terbisukan for the world a more just, more equal, more humane, and (for women) as we impi-impikan.

Then, we menulislah for beauty. Fatimah Mernissi a Marokko feminist writing in the book Women’s rebellion and Islamic memory that the writing is better rather than operating pengencangan face or skin moisturizing cream.

Try to write every day. You will skin will be fresh
again due to the womb manfatnya the extraordinary! From the moment you
wake up, increase the activity Writing cells. With the first stroke
on the blank paper, bag under your eyes akan segera
vanish and your skin will feel fresh again. Towards the middle of the day,
it is on prime condition. Actively with the uterus,
strengthen the structure to write your epidermis. At the end of the day, wrinkle -
You are wrinkle and fade softly into your face again.

The secret is in writing is to create a supine into the full attention of readers. According to Fatimah so we have learned to write-deliver a message that is close to our hearts those who previously indifferent, now will put more attention to know what we should say. So that we do not need to rant so listen. To change the people around us, first we must change ourselves. Changes other than the consequences of changes in the attitudes we see ourselves and others. We must believe that we would submit something that is important and therefore must be submitted with a fine as well.

Of course we do not adopt the theory of Fatimah Mernissi, Writing = panacea for the ageless, is verbatim. Beauty is something that is inside-out. We can be a beautiful life because of our attitudes positive and productive work. Leave a face cream and diet pills. Take pen and paper, start writing. Write whatever. Inconvenience when we disuit-suiti men on the road, when we have irritation on the part of us that private body, the news we read the anger rape women in the newspaper. Whatever.

So women, menulislah! For the dream-vision about our world a more just, more equal, and more berkemanusiaan for women. Let the world can hear our perturbation-perturbation, our experiences, ideas mad we, the women. And, of course, become more beautiful with the standards that we have created yourself. Not only white, well-section, straight and blond long as the standards created by the community patriarkat this!

Analysis of the Jurnalism Citizen Media Blog, The Blogger, Journalism and Journalists

Bloggers vs. Journalists is over. That declaration Jay X back since January 2005. X is a journalism professor at New York University as well as author of a new horizon regard journalism.

“The problem now is not whether blogs can be journalism. Sometimes it can be. The problem now is not whether bloggers are journalists. Sometimes so.”

Almost senada with it is through ujaran Enda Nasution essay Journalists Are Bloggers =? Enda decided, “Not all bloggers are journalists and not all bloggers are journalists.” But Jay ujaran X and Enda Nasution vonis not debate over this issue.

In fact, until December 2007, still have no words that memojokkan blogger (citizen journalist). Former NBC correspondent, David Hazinski, through his writings in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution describes the trend of dependency on the television station reports to citizen, citizen journalism. For example, video posts such as non-professional program in iReports on CNN. In Indonesia, I have Witness in Metro TV.

Hazinski but also journalism professor at the University of Georgia. According to him, the difference between journalists and most of the news in a phone recording selulernya lies in the education, skills and standards. “Information without journalistic standards is called gossip,” simpulnya.

Robert Cox, president of Media Bloggers Association, said, bloggers tend to be deliberately provocative and sometimes hyperbolic. In fact, batch article can trap them, from the matter of slander, copyright infringement to privacy.

In Indonesia, Roy Suryo, of course, spokesperson for the opposition stronghold of rough / blogger outs, although then introduce pemilahan between good and bad bloggers. Conversely, there are a declaration that all people can be a journalist.

Washington lawyer, Scott Gant, unfurl argument through the book titled, We’re All Journalists Now year 2007. Sub-title, The Transformation of the Press and Reshaping of the Law in the Internet Age.

Basically, the idea, the freedom of the press is now not only traditional media monopoly, but also anyone who uses mobile phone, camera and video blogging software and other technology to report news and opinions to the world.

According to Ann Cooper, a title that may be more accurate to the book, though less sexy, is We Can All Be Journalists, If and When We Choose to Be. Ann Cooper teaches at Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism. He was also the newspaper reporters, magazine and National Public Radio as well as executive director of the Journalist Protection Committee (Committee to Protect Journalists).

Through this is Ann Cooper, the debate two snapshots stronghold on my reading. Prior to the instigation, Cooper illustrates the trend concerning the traditional media journalists who also blog (somehow contains news and opinion) in the United States. Among others, journalists newspaper The New York Times at nytimes.com, and The Washington Post newspaper on washingtonpost.com.

In Indonesia, it is not difficult to find examples. Not all print media journalists blog, for example, only contains a re-posting the news that they have termuat in the medium. There are also many that contain sensitive, so no news termuat, unprinted stories.

Well, Ann Cooper goal to bring this debate is not melanggengkannya but try to find the middle road. He agreed on the idea of Jay’s X back in 2005. That is, the matter of marriage between the need to things the best of both stronghold for more quality journalism.

X via Cooper breathe term hybrid in the process, I meminjamnya recklessly as hybrids. So, as hybrid maize and the big winner, journalism is the best cross of the two would be the citadel of journalism to become a hybrid berkualiteit, quality.

“But (journalism) hybrid that requires sincere collaboration between old and new practitioners are serious about efforts to stabilize journalism and its mission to serve the public,” write Ann Cooper.

According to him, (body) the traditional media must repudiate some of the attitudes and assumptions no longer relevant, while the (body) need to absorb new media journalistic standard that can bring credibility and trust in this new journalism.

How the ideal model of cooperation that? How that is going on in the United States? Is it also happening in Indonesia? I will be happy to receive feedback concerning this.

Technical Writing How To Mass Media

All one can write
Except that is not obtain or non-formal education. The problem is, where and for what he is writing?

Mass media (newspapers, magazines, tabloids) provide so much room for the (potential) authors general, outside the usual rubric that filled the media with journalists. There are at least two rubric that can be used: letters and opinions of readers. Along with the development of technology, writing through short messages (SMS) are now able to appear in the newspaper.

But, writing in the mass media that many rules. Sure. The first rule, the media usually only receive the text in accordance with the vision, mission, character and their media. Akan political newspaper with a very open political writings, although still receive other types of any posts for a specific rubric, such as short story, poetry, the themes of education and Humanism, and others.

Second, the use of polite language (except in the media “esek-esek”, which I will not study here). Little control of language and its spelling that would-be do not want to become a prerequisite for prospective authors.

Third, the theme of a specific and actual. Daily newspapers forbid themes that musty. Themes that suck up the attention of many people that will last a long time, but when other events have a more “big”, a topic long before the entry category casserole.

Fourth, the idea any posts should be original (the original), not plagiarism. This is considered the most difficult by the author, because according to them to generate original ideas which at least required “kepakaran” in certain areas of the object into his writings.

But, what is that? Not necessarily.

As already mentioned, each person can write. And to be able to write in the mass media have tips and tricks to be done.

Exercise. That magic word, if we want to have the capability in all respects. Without exercise, what we want to do will not achieve “perfection.” Also in writing. We often hear the remark: “the only way to become writers is” write “.

Exercise does not need to write too thought how. Start from the diary. Yes diary. Or, if you blog literate, media blog is the most easy nowadays to practice writing. With the forum comments, the note can be assessed by us all. “Ah, I fear ntar criticized.”

Do not fear criticism. Think of free consultation. Tokh, our goal is to learn.

Diary, which is personal, not diremehkan. Book turbulence Islamic Thought by Ahmad Wahib also depart daily from the book. Not a Daily Note demonstrators by Soe Hok Gie.

Exercise of personal writing is in essence a business hone our sensitivity. Sensitivity is an important capital author. Sensitivity lead us to do, beropini, against, and respond to everything that happens around us. Sensitivity also deliver on our ideas.

So, start training now.

Plane sensitivity

ON previous discussion, we start to practice writing in a personal way as a plane sensitivity. In fact there are many other ways to sharpen sensitivity.

Reading, of course. Reading books, both fiction and nonfiksi. Opinion article in the mass media, short story or novel. In addition to sharpen intuition, reading is also a way to add insight and reference. Who knows any posts useful to us later.

Tivi Watch the news, other events, even including infotainmen land also can be a grind for us against a sensitivity case. Mass media as observers Veven Sp Wardhana must go one-two sinetron (although it does not have to follow to complete) to be critical to make any posts about it.

Chat, discussion can also sharpen knives as well as our analysis and expand the horizon of social networks. Do not forget the blog.

With input from the reading, show, chat, then the idea will arise, distrust, debate, answer questions, which can lead to the emergence of inspiration and ideas.

How to Find Back Ten Journalism

Howard Owens’s GateHouse Media have ten ways for journalists “find again” journalism. Here is the translation of his article titled “Ten things Journalists can do to reinvent journalism.”

* Stop writing for the front page. Too many journalists and I also like this as the first reporter to think that the front page is the only verification strong as their journalists. On the web, of course, there is no front page only time stamp. Better to write the true story rather anxious where akan editor to load the story in our print edition.

* Stop treating journalism like a competition. Indeed, the media fun, but it may not be the only reason to get the story. Want every story to get out of the first competitors will culminate in an error, either in the reporting process and to think how to handle the story. Economic value of the competitors on the day-to-day this can be spelled out a zero. Value as a source of information flow in a trusted long time is significant. This is not a points as opposed, be thought-if thought.

* Stop sending your story to the race writing / reporting. This will only encourage you to write for other journalists, not for your readers.

* See your readers better. Esteem every small sincere compliment. If that is the form of a letter or postcard, paste in your bulletin board; if the form of email, and paste cetaklah also there. Make sincere praise as the destination of day-to-day. Stop the look of criticism that complain about every thing you do newspapers.

* Enter more people in your stories and fewer titles. I will compose a special regulation, but for each title, you must cite two people who have no degree. So, if you cover city council and mayor and quoted council member, you also need to enter a four-person without a degree. Real people. Give the pressure on the perceived impact of ordinary people, not just what people are saying about an issue or incident. Try to see how many stories about the city council that you can write in a month without even calling elected officials / appointed.

* Do not cover the process. Liputlah actual story. The story is actually a normal person, with real things that would say that about real things that affect their lives.

* Kuasai a subject that you liput. You need to understand more coverage of all your sources. This will help you avoid “perhaps he said.” Make you more able to write stories in, and give you the confidence to add perspective. You also will be able to dig up more of the story better.

* Forget the false-belief objectivity. Instead, berusahalah fair, honest, not aligned, and accurate.

* Be accurate. Ever. Being accurate is not just getting the facts correct. He approaches to guide you to a full story. Some of the be accurate means you never exaggerate. Never. You will not fry the conflict had only one page story that the more fun. You will not ever cut the quote so that more dramatic, or work in order to emphasize a atiknya things.

* The withdrawal Liputlah community you home and hope that you are so Involve yourself in community and care about people. Although the reality may be, and you may need to move a day later, at least when you’re covering a group of people, thoughts arise that you will live forever cover the city, or this topic.

The idea that the source is not ever dry

When you see in your life as a source of inspiration for any posts, you find the experience, ideas, thoughts, feelings, challenges, and expectations that now make yourself like this. In keseharianmu life, property located to the abundant life menulismu. Therefore, selamilah own life, examine carefully what you have Go, feel, think, and recognize, and in the process, you may learn more about what you esteem, what you need, and what you can give to the world. Words can be the agent of change. When you write about things that you want and you impikan, appetite-started to show this tendency more apparent (as if you can pour it all into words, you can also see how mewujudkannya). You can also use any posts to help you focus on impianmu, memilah-milah perasaanmu, who you actually think, and understand life. This is the power of language.
SPECIAL REPORTS ABOUT ITS KELAHIRANMU
Imagine, if when born, you are smart talk and a mini microphone tertempel in a tiny hand. Of course you can record, for the time when, day kelahiranmu incredible detail. Kelahiranmu told story can help you better understand the origin-usulmu. This is a story – and celebration – the road to explore the wider world. Writing about this event help you learn more about how life began and how you arrived at the place now. When muasalmu-examine the origin, you may begin to see forces of the time, and has established mencetakmu.
Start with research. Talk with your mother, father, or other person who attended on the day you were born. Or, see the notes that can flash the day: kelahiranmu of teaching license, adopsimu notes (if you can see it), baby book. Write every detail important.
Now, use imajinasimu to imagine the room where you were born. Whether it is in the hospital, a room in someone’s house, maybe even in the staircase or a taxi? Will be place with the neon lights or the sun? Gambarkan detail in the landscape of life. Who menunggui kedatanganmu? Gambarkan birth process as though you feel: What is painful? Whether fast, slow, or between both of them? Will you fight? Are you pushing yourself to help out?
Imagine yourself leaving the cocoon hangatmu time for a new life outside of there. How do I feel the air flow olehmu? Are you the first time exposed to sunlight, or feel comfortable menjengkelkanmu? How do I see first time your mother and feel sentuhannya, while during the time you only know from the sound and working heart, lungs, stomach and other organs?
Is your father there to menyambutmu? Is there any other special blanket membungkuskan help you? Who memegangmu first time? What you see when you open the eyes? Seraplah to all pages in kertasmu.
Songs NINABOBOMU
At a certain time, each person will need to be appeased, entertained, and informed that all good things only. Sometimes, the adults go when the pressure makes you feel like like mad, and you need a small corner of the world that love, soft, and receive.
Tulisanmu can become the point of this. You can write anything that disrupt pikiranmu, makes you mad, angry, sad, or confused. And then, you can write a song about ninabobomu. The song “Ninabobo” are songs that menentramkan. He can make the baby quiet, stop crying, relax, and fall asleep again. Songs that help babies feel digendong, beloved, and be embraced by someone who pity.
How do you? You can write your own for a song, poem, story, or letter that can be menenangkanmu. In fact, you can also create a dialogue between you and the angry edge, with which you still and quiet. That way, you can identify what that brings peace and makes you feel safe and confident. Save karyamu that in the private and read when you feel annoyed, distracted, entertained or need.
Sometimes, the act of simply writing a song, story, or letter “Ninabobo” can menentramkan and calm. If you as a wicked thing, see if the writing can menenangkanmu. If this does not work for you, try a sport, talk to a friend, or in breathing.
The note “Ninabobo” designed to lull. In fact, the word “Ninabobo” be gentle and calm. Words in each song “Ninabobo” usually soft, melt one another, and emphasize the vowel sound. You rarely hear the words sharp as a noise or lightning in the song “Ninabobo”. Instead, you hear words like silent, sleep, baby, terlelap, like, hours, and dream. When you write “Ninabobo”-mu, use soft words, and quiet.
Just for fun, you can deliver and do exercises this step further. Circle each verb (action word) in any posts ninabobomu; and see the letter first. (For example, the rest start with I.) For each of the verb be surrounded, replace with a verb that begins with the next letter. So, if I katamu begin with, search for a word that begins with the letter J. (Hint: Select the word that sounds calm and menentramkan, but do not spend time trying to think whether they make sense for any posts listed in ninabobomu.) Write each new word on the word that digantikannya.
Listen to what happens when you hear ninabobomu any posts that have been fixed. What changes mengejutkanmu word? Will add a new meaning? A special meaning? What to tell something about yourself?
Write a dream-MIMPIMU
Have in Xanadu Kubla Khan a stately Golf fun with Where Alpen, the sacred river, ran a cave that does not penetrate human terkirakan So do not go down to the sea bermentari Thus these lines early poems “Kubla Khan, a Vision in a Dream, a fragment” , the work of poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge as Romantic Zaman (late 1700’s, early 1800-an). Poetry is inspired by a dream. In dreams, about Coleridge’s vision get Xanadu, where a luminous light that is inhabited by the Great Khan Mongolian Mongolia during most of the region of the world. When awake, Coleridge reach some paper and start mencoretkan words to absorb penglihatannya.
However, before completing puisinya, he disela by the arrival of a guest. When complete return means puisinya, Coleridge can not remember the rest of the more penglihatannya: poetry is not resolved, and only a fragment.
Thanks to the natural unconscious, the dream a reality memungkinkanmu experience on another channel, and even if you do not control “pemrogramannya”, you can take what you experienced and menuangkannya in tulisanmu. Can reveal a dream of words, effects, shadows, or sounds that can grant instructions about what you write, how to prepare the sentence, or title. Increase the supply of a dream kreativitasmu new wells in a while you sleep, trigger effects, characters, scenery or new, that can be used in tulisanmu. The various possibilities, such as mimpimu.
You dreamed you follow the important exam. You sit at the table, see ujianmu, and realize new exam paper is written in Spanish. However, you are not through a test subject and Spain can not speak in that language at all! Who had experienced something like this? Use this as a dream as an inspiration story, about someone who may try to follow the test, but encountered delays and conflicts, which can be anything you imagine. Or, write an essay about the test-doubtfulness sinking feeling in the muddy swamp that you feel in your bellies and how it makes ujianmu far more difficult to go.
Many writers keep a daily record book or notes on the side of the bed so that, when awake, they can record the ideas that appear in the night. Like Coleridge’s vision, a dream can be passed quickly: tangkaplah them in any posts so that they are not vague wordless.
AUTHOR Corner
The companion Dreamer: A Young Person Guide to understanding and using Dreams Them Creatively by Stephen Phillip Policoff (Chicago: Chicago Review Press, 1997). A natural guide to the mysterious unconscious, this book is to explore how dreams are formed and how to interpret history mimpimu own. The Dream Scene by Alison Bell (Los Angelas juvenile Lowell House, 1994). This book can help you learn how to interpret the dream-mimpimu, make a dream diary, and use dreams to help solve the problem.
Writing from the dream-mimpimu not only trigger a variety of ideas, but also bring new insights into caramu think and feel, and what you want or takutkan. Sometimes, the shadow of a dream and the emotions so strong so that when awakened, difficult to know whether indeed the case or not.
To write from the dream-mimpimu:
# Take a shadow, the characters, events, objects, places, or feelings of mimpimu and terangkan in tulisanmu. What terpikirkan about the meaning of that dream? Whether a person or object in a dream that represent something else?
# Some people believe that the characters in the dream represent aspects which are different from kepribadianmu. To explore this theory, write a dialogue between the characters in mimpimu, mengasumsikan them as a different body part. Try to think about the kepribadianmu which is represented by each character. For the reality and dream together:
# Get a real incident and write as though the dream. For example, you may see the movie Titanic with someone in a blind date, the dreadful breathing, always rely on lenganmu, and did not want to share the popcorn. Because you are moving to the real life dream world, you can blink and eye switch dates that are less comfortable with Leonardo DiCaprio or Kate Winslet. That mimpimu, then anything can happen

Writing in a Children’s Culture

Writing activities, in essence, is an activity that is done either by children. With writing, children’s creativity can be improved. Thus one of the reasons for the write-contention Mirian Caryn Goldberg in his book, “Reviews of Aja Bete!”.

With writing, like a child immerse themselves in the creative process. Because while he was writing, it means that the child creates something, that also means that orbit the questions, the doubts and confusion, until finally find a solution. And when the creative process is more trained, the child will be more easy to move expertise to other sectors which also require creative solutions, such as schools and other activities.

Of this writing activities children can also benefit, including the following.

* Children can express perasaannya about what is experienced in writing.
* Children can unify mind when pouring ideas with words.
* Children can show love for one another, for example, writing a letter with thanks or birthdays to parents, friends, or even teachers.
* Children can increase the recall in a way to create and write the information about something.

Writing the KIAT CULTURE ON CHILDREN

Given the many benefits of writing for children, cultural ditumbuhkembangkan need to write about. For that, first, first love and tumbuhkan habits in children to read. One thing to remember, writing is very different from talking. Of course communication via any posts tend to be more difficult. However, not a whisper and could not cry, such as when to speak, realized in the form of writing. However, ingenuity is required for revealing language. And read into the solution. With a lot of reading, children will feel kebahasaan developed.

When new children start writing, do not need to teach grammar to children. Most ketatabahasaan this knowledge is developed so that children can be little by little. Naturally, children will learn to speak the language of their hearing. Children will also learn to write in a language they read, of course if they read as many books are inputs for both the text.

Demanding perfection any posts children think that the framework is to make it a bad author. Not only eliminate creativity and fun, it can also cause paralysis of the author. Use words of praise as an effective way to motivate children in writing. For suggestions and criticisms on any posts child, wait until the children truly begin the writers themselves because at the time they are more interested in how to write better. However, still try to give advice and criticism in a way that carefully.

One thing that also needs to be avoided is to read any posts without permission of their children. Do not ever do it! Show only if you are interested in any posts to read them and ask first and do not force or steal, steal children to read any posts. In addition, children do not censoring any posts. Writing a child truly can not usually received only seasonal. Do not worry when it happens because this period will also end. Cheer up and be grateful just because the child shows that such writings to you. That means they trust you.

Like to read, write children’s tastes can vary. Therefore, doronglah them to write something that they senangi. Not a problem any posts what type of child. In fact, the more kinds of any posts you make, the more skilled they become well.

Following four forms of writing activities that can be done in order to write on the culture of children.

1. Writing Poetry
Writing poetry is an easy way to start a business culture in the writing of children. Writing poetry can arouse a sense kebahasaan through the game with words and sentence structure. Although the writing of poetry may not be liked by all children, we can provide various forms of poetry to show the children that poetry is easy to make and fun to express feelings and ideas mind.
2. Write a sentence description
Activities undertaken to write this way, children write a sentence-sentence description of the images they have. For example, the horse picture. Children get a horse through the writing. The text can be installed under the picture of the child horse. Write a description of these activities can stimulate children to reveal a shape / object that the child understood through writing.
3. Write a Prayer
Write down the prayer is not meant to show children how to communicate with God. However, this can help children to better understand the application of prayer that was delivered and set up a delivery idea. Writing at a time of prayer can also help children to know how God said their prayers.
4. Write a Daily Journal, or Notes
Write a diary or journal writing can be a good activity for children. This activity can create intimate relationships between children’s activities and correspondence. This also can make the children see how the strong writing and insight on the many day-to-day experience of the children’s writing.

In the end, to the culture of writing on the child, the child will need to write dibiasakan with writing itself and the writing activity as a matter of fun. Need hard work, patience, and guidance for achieved. But the result, children will benefit quotes throughout his life through this event.

Writing, Tradition The Great People

Newspapers for the newspaper, I check. For the newspaper Monday to Saturday, the process more quickly. Usually any posts about art rarely throughout the six days. Meanwhile, for the Sunday newspaper, carefully enough. Paginal review. Several minutes later, the newspaper has been reduced stack. Until the end I did not take long for fun reading the newspaper storiette Mustafa Bisri in Media Indonesia. Name Mustafa Bisri snap me! I often hear. But this is another. Either because of what the. Cerpennya times this makes me speechless. Mustafa Bisri Who? Often, once I read his name in the mass media. Mustafa Bisri whether that is the same as Mustafa Bisri who write books, or books introduction gives another person? I suspect so.
Approximately one week before that day, I menyempatkan themselves to the campus library. Wow, amazing. There is progress. On the notice board there is paper that contains information tertempel books new. STAIN types on campus who do not have a way I think literature has a great sekoleksi novels and poetry books.
In the library, I always menyempatkan into a special room just for terkagum-impressed. While menggelang-head bracelet, hand-off waist. The entire wall of the room disandari high-high rack. The middle is not precisely melompong left. Shelves of the same level so that there dijajarkan-lane alley. I can only hit in the chest-lane alley that. Because all books are written with the Arabic language and each title to dozens of volumes with the thickness is very unusual compared to the books Indonesia.
I seriously feel strange to them, the author of the books. The problem is the average age they do not reach a hundred years. Meanwhile, they write books that not only one title, but dozens. For a title can reach 15 volumes with the thickness of each volume setebal History of God and Holy War is Karen Armstrong.
And remember a day when I still mesantren. Kiai said about Imam Sibawaih, a theologian of the author. Usually done by the Imam, the day-to-day, perhaps only to write. I never heard Kiai told how the priest can eat. Until the most interesting story I know. That almost all her books, writing books and other people who burned his wife, written just because his wife since the marriage was never touched. The Imam sure if he memunyai something other than books because it wrestled with the book is very mengasyikan. Imam Sibawaih addition, Kiai also told there are scholars (scientists) who died because of suppressed books by the fall of raknya.
The story a little odd for me to be reasonable when I was in the room is a special library STAIN. When all the walls, shelves disandari almost reached the ceiling. In the middle of the room can be put shelves of the same level. So to be rational if the rack is full by the book can be shut off if I suppress it or scientists.
They, the author was indeed extraordinary. Can only be if they did not write, we will not know the extent to which many thoughts running past, the extent to which achievement of moral depth. Because verbal communication, one for the lack of certain features. Sound is missing along with the speaker talking berhentinya. But here Plato has become a very meritorious record the teacher’s wisdom, Sokrates. A philosopher who likes to go to market for dialogue, to return memertanyakan kemapanan. If there is not only Plato, of whom we know that something has been thought by the Greeks, or by people before.
Because the author, I know little about philosophy. Akan know who thought of Plato when I was born in the population of the day-to-day spent in the garden and in the field, if not from the author. So here I thank, for example, to Lou Marinoff through Plato Not Prozac! that I have been connecting with thinkers-thinkers past. That have been menganggukan my head. Because I know during the early philosophy, philosophy is said to have become the center of all knowledge. But how can such a function and what is practical philosophy, is still uncertain. Lou Marinoff, one of them, through Plato Not Prozac! asserts that philosophy is not being the only academic on campus. Philosophy that exists in daily life. I also know that where ever Sokrates says, that life is never to be inappropriate, if not the author mengabadikannya.
Can also be, what happens at this time if the first Al-Quran is not recorded. Battle for the end of the war has penghafal scholars Al-Quran. If only at that time know very well that there are 100 scholars and 100 scholars are dead, drop Al-Quran on their heads. Because Tsabit bin Zaid, Abu Bakr and friends another author noted Al-Quran, it is the people of Islam can read the messages of God. Although it is teologis, immortality Al-Quran has promised him.
The author, according to Muhidin M. Dahlan on MATABACA Vol. 2/No.11/Juli 2004, also a spokesperson for the community, for his people. Sosoknya may be as prophets. With the duties that they are not even too concerned with themselves as well as the prophets.
Pramoedya Ananta Toer, has been a spokesperson for the community, because the people writing for Human Earth, Children of All, Trace, and Step House Glass; PRAM has become the prophet told a news mengguncangkan, melt, scary, and dim, in the Virgin in the Adolescent Military Cengkraman. How do men born in Blora 6 February 1925 this does not feel sympathetic when he heard the direct word virgin-virgin promised akan disekolahkan in Tokyo that has become a miserable old woman. They, virgin-virgin adolescents who have become old woman was not disekolahkan appointment as Japan, but a waitress in the sex-rural hinterland. PRAM is not only a sympathetic, my heart was torn tercabik-the only word he said PRAM.
To become a spokesperson for the community and the nation is not easy. Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Abdullah Al-Lawati Al-Tanji was born in Morocco, North Africa, which is known as Ibn Batutah, to be able to write Tuhfah Al-Nuzzar fi Gharab Al-Ajaib Amsar wa Al-Asfar must travel along with 75,000 miles walk across the various countries, including Aceh, Indonesia.
While Syafi faith, to become a spokesperson for the community, he had to learn a number of teachers to which the amount is almost equal to the number of students. Must memorize Muwathanya Al-Imam Malik, Imam Syafi and indeed extraordinary. Scripture setebal is capable dihapalnya only nine in the evening.
He says, mengaji Each time you return home, I always collect fraction fraction-worn, leather-dried animal skin, palm sheath-sheath, and bone-camel bones. Kutulis hadist-hadist prophet in all things, then my mother to collect in a container. After that, I went to Mecca and nomadic tribe living in the village Hudzayl.
Humaydi been told by him that ever take a trip together experts fiqh and poet is to Egypt. In the middle of the night in the lodging, lights up. Humaydi surprised that the priest is still awake secarik with paper and ink. When asked, the birth of Palestinian Imam said this, I think being a hadist meaning, then a small child kusuruh set the lights so that I can write it hadist.
Plato, Ibn Batutah, PRAM, Imam Syafi; they are great people. They will still be alive despite Jasad buried in the ground. Accumulation of knowledge that they will continue to write saying that the owner is still alive. As philosopher Francis Bacon once say, I haribaan With ruhku to God. Although jasadku buried in the ground, but I will rise up with the name-generation and future generations in the whole of mankind.

Avoiding Bias in Writing

Language is understood as the only means of interaction antarmanusia. As a symbol of the delivery of a message or thought, either oral or written, the language often used to represent a pure reality of something is to the readers.

However, in its development, we often encounter language that is no longer a pure reflection of a reality. Sometimes feelings, interests, or motives of the users involved. Therefore, the receipt and delivery of language requires a very sensitivity so that we can assess that the meaning is hidden in the back, which may be biased, deceptive, and even misleading.

Bias phenomena in the paper

Bias or a distortion in any posts is something that we should be avoiding, when we write. Sometimes words that bias, load subjektivitas elements of the author. Not infrequently there are also some hidden interest or lack of understanding about the reality that disampaikannya. Related problem, Mochtar Pabottingi revealed four sides distortif (misuse) of language as a political tool that helps us to know what the purpose of the existence of a bias in the writing.

1. Language as a mask distortion.
Called a mask because the language here has been manipulated to reflect anything other than the original representation, with the goal to cover the actual reality. In this context, the language presented by the perpetrator may not be more honest and not reality so that appropriate referrals can outwit or deceive people who receive them. For example, expression of the government as “basic electricity tariffs need to be adjusted”, when, in fact are “basic electricity tariffs need to be.”

2. Distortion as a language project forget.
This means, according to this context, the language used to make people switch attention from a certain focus. At this point “forget” is no longer seen as human nature, but as something that can be consciously manipulated. By understanding the meaning of “forget” their own as do not remember or remember something else, understanding that can be arrested apparently “forgot” is not a matter that is natural in humans, but also as a situation that can direkayasa. With the switch attention from one focus to a particular focus on the other, it means that we try to create conditions forget him.

3. Distortion as a representation language.
Here, the language used to describe things not as they should, with mewakilkannya through the use of “labeling” or certain symbols.

4. Language ideology as a distortion.
In this distortion, the community tends to be compelled to acknowledge the truth of the language to be used.
Some steps in to avoid bias in any posts
Here are some steps that may help us avoid the refraction in writing.

1. Conclusion that in accordance with the facts.
Let your writing to a conclusion that is based on the accumulation of facts. Because all the facts can make the paper you can trust. Facts must be documented so that it can be verified by readers.

2. Opinion based on fact.
In writing a paper, opinion (personal thoughts based on emotions, beliefs, or myths) should rarely be used. All opinions or conclusions must be clearly identified; never disguise facts.

3. Use a common language.
To be able to convey your ideas clearly, you certainly want to use words that convince your readers in any posts. At the time you write a topic you really understand, you can easily slip in the use of language or emotional bias.

Common language that does not usually does not convince readers who really read to agree to your opinion. Of course you want to use words that can make your views on a topic to be more convincing. Once you start using language that is not common, that is the, your readers will feel more convinced than dipermainkan.

4. Note the word selection and sentence.
Elections diksi words or good can be any posts when a reader is able to be understood by the appropriate level of expertise of the readers. In general, the Wilson Nadaek describes some of the words, including words presumably could affect people, the words represent ideas, choosing the right words make the reader does not need to guess-nebak what is, to make readers believe, even participate and take the appropriate concluded that desired by the author. Furthermore, it seems any posts arranged in an effective sentence, which is able to create the content or intent to complete disampaikannya envisaged in the minds of readers the same as what is presented.

As a message that we want to tell readers, presumably so we write in a language that is fair and neutral. Writing of bias can still be addressed as long as we can discuss with other people so that the quality of any posts will be better. Then we try to menjabarkannya to support the sentence in any posts so that the bias can be developed and thoroughly completed.

Criteria of Good Writing

Each person has their own taste in a rate writing. But, should we berkiblat to the opinion of the votes berkompeten examine the papers in accordance with the education and reputation. The note also that it should be free from the “sponsored links” that often is the ruler. And finally, the value of any posts is determined by culture and society in the thought patterns zamannya.

Normally, writing a good meet the standard criteria as follows.

1. Hal-Hal the New
Any posts are classified as a good if he revealed anything new. Most simple example can be found in scientific journals. Publication hypothetical that the HIV virus causes the disease AIDS by Dr. Robert Gallo direct any posts deemed good because of the obvious stuff.

2. True and Full
Which may be news stories or fairytales can be good any posts? Indeed, scandalize, but it is not good. Shelve fiction or fantasy story, it is clear any posts should also contain a good and full of truth (factual). Center, or the news article “feature” in reputable newspapers always uphold the good values of honesty and berprespektif comprehensive; different to any posts in the “yellow newspapers” which is only to the sensation.
3. Beauty is / Original Ideas
The note is usually a good opinion is at once original author. Or opinion column published in the mass media when it reflects the considered opinions / solutions / suggestions on the original authors of the incident or problem. Posts that do not contain new ideas can not say it, even though penyajiannya bait.
4. As you know the contents
The contents of any posts that it can arouse readers to do positive things, memerbaiki character and moral community, or at least, inspired a mencerahkan.
5. Special theme
Common theme that can not conjure any posts to be a valuable and good. While many people write about the importance of the new permit for logging, you can write the problem of wood scarcity of raw materials that may be experienced factory plywood and wooden furniture industry as a consequence. The results of this can be considered good any posts because the theme is different from the general view.
6. Contain surprises
Detective novels, “suspense” or “thriller” on the tensions and surprises to be the best paper and terpoluler.
7. Events for the
Analysis-written analysis of the events a great potential to be good any posts. For example, a new view on the French Revolution (1789), or landing in Apollo II (1963) are always interesting, and potentially a good paper, even back against time.
8. People on the famous
Hillary Clinton sepenggal otobiografinya write, “It Tooks a Village,” and in demand because he had been the mother country the United States. All people want to know about her experiences during the accompanying President Bill Clinton (1992 – 2000). If Suminah also writing his life history, must be difficult words that are, because people do not know who Suminah.
9. Good language
Linus Suryadi Ag paper, “Recognition Pariyem”, it is recognized, especially because the prose is written in the lyrics with the words of the beautiful and profound. Usually categorized as valuable works of literature, especially poetry, in addition to the theme, the language is also extraordinary.
10. Top authors
If good food or bad depending on the expertise of chef mengolahnya, then it is not the paper is often determined by who the author. Once an author produces good works, the works tend to be further considered good also.
11. Through Terpublikasi Right Media
Also need good writing is published through the media and the right with a good way. Short story that was published in Literary Magazines Horizon, for instance, always as a good short story. In other words, writing that it will not even look good when the media published the “wrong”.

The more an any posts meet criteria above, the better the value of any posts. So, to make any posts that can be considered good, you should try to design it and follow the corridor boundaries criteria above.

The text you indeed can not be filtered passes through all the above criteria, the value of a paper is the need to set before the first category tested according to quality criteria that apply. If you write a novel, for example, certainly does not need to present data and may not always be related to famous people.

Good or not the paper can be determined also by the readers alone. That is, any posts of a good can be assessed by certain circles of readers, but rather, it is not considered by other groups of readers. Works of Pramoedya Ananta Toer be the right example. Although berbaur with ideology and political reasons, the work of PA Toer on the one hand by the dicemooh particular, but on the other hand, praised by different groups.
