Standing here in front of all of you, i would like to talk about unity in diversity
Every human was born in different condition, in different place, and in different ways. We often hear that something different is impossible to be merged together. Like an oil

Do you know how we kill one another because of it? The problem that never finished, an unsolved problem, that exists just a feud between two parties that are endless. Do you remember how that fued has devastated this country? Do you remember how riotic this country when Chinese and indigenous fighting each other and make this country into sea of blood? Do you remember how Muslims and Christians in Ambon clashed brutally? Do you still remember the war between Dayak and Madura? Do you also remember how Aceh, Maluku, and Papua wants to secede from this country? we've been witnessing the animosity going on that on behalf of religion, race or tribe excessively. We find that hatred occurs because one feels higher than the others. They said majority, they said minority. The tribe of majority, the tribe of minority, religion of majority, religion of minority. Should we create a perspective like that? The identity of our country is not with regard to majority and minority. The identity of this country is with regard to social value of society, diversity, tolerance, and mutual cooperation.
Bhineka Tunggal Ika is the motto of this country, Pancasila is the foundation of this country and all of it is the identity of Indonesia. Do we really understand the meaning of it? Bhineka Tunggal Ika Tan Hana Dharma Mangrwa. Unity in diversity there is no truth that is ambiguous. Tan Hana Dharma Mangrwa which also means "No Devotion Which Bifurcated" actually describes the underlying principles of the life of a nation that is Bhineka Tunggal Ika. The true meaning of Tan Hana Dharma Mangrwa is certainly relevant to be contemplated so that this nation does not constantly get caught up in the
Activity theory, as interpreted by Ph.D. candidates, Wardle and Kain, is a process that attempts to see all aspects of activity such as social interactions and use of writing and language to achieve goals. This theory is award winning. Activity theory states that for a system to be effective, the rules, community, subject, division of labor, and motives must be reasonable. These components are shown through the chosen tool of communication most often. When one area of the system is corrupted, the tool will no longer function correctly in order to communicate or achieve its goals.
Joseph Key 's question: “Did Quapaw/French misunderstanding cultural differences establish enduring relationships”, evidenced in the appropriation of religious symbols/ceremonies, war alliances, trade networking/gift giving, marriages, god-parenting, which formed tolerance among Euro-Indigenous people between 1672-1762, whereas clarifications would have caused conflict and
As Medina transitions from Cuba to a New York public school, he changes his perspective on the move. He explains how “the snow on the ground did not stay white for very long. Nothing does in New York” (Medina 72). The comparison of nothing in New York to the white snow with neither remaining white, or pure, suggests to the audience that his perspective of the United States has changed from bright to darkness. Medina describes his new school as “a typical New York school, a microcosm of the city where all races mingled and fought and, on occasion, learned” (72).
Hi Jasmine. Thank you for sharing your life and your son with the class. I am a mother as well and us mothers will go to the end of the earth for our children. Reading your post made me grateful, that I have excess to multiple providers because I live is a big city. Not having adequate health providers in rural areas needs to change.
Maria W. Stewart Analysis In this excerpt of a lecture given by Maria W. Stewart in the year 1832, she has a strong point: Although the African Americans in the northern colonies were free, they were not treated equal as the white people were. Stewart uses a variety of rhetorical strategies to bring her point in the situation, such as argument, compare and contrast, and appeal to ethos. Along with the persistent and serious tone, it is clear that she sees the unfair treatment of African Americans a major problem.
The most difficult thing an author can do when telling a story, is attracting an audience, and maintaining the audience’s engagement. In Serial, while telling the story of Adnan Syed, Sarah Koenigs attracts the audience with her purpose which is proving that Adnan Syed was wrongfully convicted and isn't completely guilty. Sarah maintains the attention of her audience by using emotional, and logical appeal, while also establishing credibility. In other words she uses the rhetoric made up of Pathos, Logos, and Ethos.
The United States is made up of some of the most diverse and interesting cultures in the world. Jamila Lyiscott proves this by showing her different dialects and how they are all equally important. Lyiscott believes that the way she speaks towards her parents, towards her friends, and towards her colleagues are all one in the same. Throughout the entirety of her speech, Lyiscott changes up her vocal patterns and dialects so that the audience can understand first hand what each of these dialects are. When she talks about her father, Lyiscott uses her native tongue, when she talks to her fellow neighbors and close friends she switches it up to a more urbanized dialect, and when she is in school she masks the other two dialects with a professional sounding language.
Argument Against the Argument of Pascal’s Wager In Pascal’s Wager, Pascal pioneered new thoughts and opinions amongst his peers in probability theories by attempting to justify that believing in God is advantageous to one’s personal interest. In this paper, I will argue that Pascal’s argument rationalizing why one should believe in God fails and I will suggest that even if one was to accept Pascal’s wager theory, this will not be a suffice resolution to reap the rewards that God has promised to Christian believers like myself who has chosen to believe in God due to my early childhood teachings, familial and inherited beliefs. Pascal offers a logical reason for believing in God: just as the hypothesis that God's existence is improbable, the
Past leaders such as Andrew Jackson, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Marc Antony are evidence that society does not reward morality and good character in leadership. Society is drawn to leaders that have good rhetoric, propaganda, and charismatic personalities, and society supports them despite their immorality. Society is concerned about stability more than the morality of their leaders and will support immoral leaders in times of crisis to provide stability. In history there have been multiple leaders that have used rhetoric, propaganda and charismatic personalities to gain power, despite their morals.
Rhetorical appeals reveal the hidden message the character is trying to convey. The rhetoric also highlights the character’s emotions, feelings and the significance of the text. It allows readers to gain a better understanding of the characters. Arthur Miler, the author of The Crucible, highlights the importance of mass hysteria through rhetorical appeals. John Proctor, the tragic hero is a loyal, honest, and kind-hearted individual.
Despite a similar internal struggle, Paul and the speaker cope with their emotions in different ways. Although both characters do in fact suppress the guilt of killing an enemy, Paul still struggles with some regret. In “The Man He Killed”, the speaker acknowledges the fact that he is at war. The idea of killing another man becomes normal to him as he realizes that he enlisted for this purpose. The speaker states that “I shot at him as he at me”, if he had failed to shoot, he could have been the one dead, thus he had to fire back in order to survive.
In this passage, Ezekiel Cheever responds to John Proctor’s curiosity about what a needle in a poppet signifies and why his wife Elizabeth is being accused of using witchcraft against Abigail Williams. Cheever’s response explains his knowledge of how Abigail was afflicted, his possession of strong evidence against Elizabeth Proctor as a court official, and both his and the town of Salem’s tendency to turn to superstition to explain mysterious events. As Cheever explains how Abigail was afflicted by the needles from the poppet, he utilizes a simile when he states that Abigail fell to the floor, after being stabbed, “like a struck beast” (74). Cheever says this to emphasize the abruptness and intensity of the situation and how significant it is that there is no visual perception of anyone
During the 1980s, space exploration was a popular topic to watch, listen to, and learn about in American life. NASA had already sent a lot of missions to space, all reaching new milestones and increasing interest in space exploration. The Challenger, however, had a different mission than the rest. It was going to carry the first teacher, Christa McAuliffe, into space where she would teach two lessons. There were six other men and women on board the Challenger.
Hi Conchita Your statement about the outward appearance of a person does not match the inward emptiness of a person's spirituality is on point. The first step toward salvation is acknowledgment. This decision is a made up mind to exchange our will to the will of God. I agree with Michael Jackson's song, The Man in The Mirror, and I have shared those lyrics with the church members and the women's ministry.
Austin King Ms. Den Otter A.P. English Language and Composition President Obama Speech Analysis On the morning of September 11th, terrorists hijacked 4 planes, 2 of which were crashed into the World Trade Center Buildings, another hit the Pentagon, and one was crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. This tragic morning in American history caused the death of almost 3000 people, and the leader of Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, was behind it. After planning a mission for around 4 years to execute Osama bin Laden, on May 2, 2011, he was killed by US special forces. President Obama follows this event with a speech, its goal being to inform the American people of the death of the man who had caused the death of so many loved ones, and achieves this by using rhetorical devices such as parallel structure and appeals to emotion. In the beginning of President Obama’s speech announcing the death of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, he reminds the American people of the tragic events that took place on the morning of 9/11, when “nearly 3,000 citizens were taken from us.”
