CONVERSATION

Technical debate

POSITIVE TEAM
MOTION: THIS HOUSE BELIEVES THAT UAN SHOULD BE BANNED.

1ST SPEAKER:
Good morning ladies and gentlemen…
It is our delighted that today we can stand here as the positive team to deliver the motion of debate today, it is: THIS HOUSE BELIEVES THAT UAN SHOULD BE BANNED.
Now let me define what UAN is.
Ladies and gentlemen, UAN is a test done at the end of the year at every education level, from elementary school, junior high school and high school to measure whether students should be able to finish the study or not. But here, our team will just focus on UAN at junior high school.
You know ladies and gentlemen, that UAN as the only measurement to decide whether the students graduate or not has immerged many problems for those in charged from students, school and even parents.
Thus, ladies and gentlemen, we as the positive team ask that UAN should be abolished because students and schools are not ready yet with the high passing grade.
Now, let me tell you of why UAN needs to abolish.
1. Because of insufficient facilities for some schools in reaching national standard achievement.
2. The failure will give bad effects to students, school even the parents.
Okay, now I am as the 1st speaker would like to elaborate of why UAN is better to be abolished from the perspective of insufficient facilities of some schools. While the other point of view will be delivered by the 2nd speaker.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, since UAN agreed to be a measurement of students ability during their studying time, it has created some problems to students and school because the passing grade cannot be achieved by some students. Before this problem is solved, it is found that the passing grade is increased year to year.
To achieve national standard passing grade all schools must have national standard facilities. But, what happens in Indonesia? Not all schools have national standard equipments. We even just started to have SSN or Sekolah Standar National. In fact, there are only …..SSN throughout Indonesia. In Ponorogo we only have 1school as the SSN and 2 RSBI. Schools with SSN and RSBI label and schools in cities are advanced in technology. The facilities there are a lot better than the schools in remote place such as in Ngrayun. You know, Ngrayun is hard to access. It is mountainous area, the facilities are so conventional, less internet access, and usually schools in remote place has insufficient teacher. Moreover, there are fewer teachers who are capable in their major. So, how students in Ngrayun or in remote place can be expected to have better quality than students who are equipped well? Because it is definitely that good facilities in technology and information will help students in studying. So, it is unfair if schools with the minimum facilities are expected to have the same quality with those who are well equipped. So, the government should delay the UAN until all schools in Indonesia have the national standard facilities.
From the explanation above, again ladies and gentlemen, we: from the Positive team believe that UAN should be abolished. Many schools are really unready to fulfill the national standard needs.
Well ladies and gentlemen, that’s our perspective of why UAN should be abolished. Thank you.


Negative Team
1st Speaker
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the time given.
I am as the 1st speaker of negative would like to expose what UAN is. Yes, like what positive team said, it is a test to measure whether students are successfully accomplished their studying or not. But more than that, it is also a way to increase the quality of Indonesia education. How to know if a student is credible or not, successful in studying or not it needs to be tested and one of them is by having UAN.
So ladies and gentlemen, we: as negative team disagrees if UAN is abolished. UAN will make all students aware of how important it is to study.
To support our stance, let me tell you our point of view of why UAN should exist. We classify the reasons into two perspectives:
1. UAN can increase the education quality in Indonesia.
2. Indonesia needs to set a national standard grade achievement.
Now, here is our argument of the first perspective and the other will be elaborated by the 2nd speaker.
Well ladies and gentlemen, there are many languages in Indonesia then we should have one language to unite the people, so it comes up bahasa Indonesia. It is an analogy, means that in education we also need a standard. Students are considered to be successful in studying if they can reach a certain standard by the government. Why must the standard come from the government? It is because the materials in all subjects are also decided by the government. So, al the material all over Indonesia is the same. The questions for all schools are the same. This test is really logical. By having UAN then the school know how the teaching learning process work. Actually UAN can be a kind of evaluation for the schools whether the schools has met the government national standard or not.
That’s my argument that UAN should exist for Indonesia to have a standard goal in education. Now, I’ll go to the rebuttal.
Ladies and gentlemen, the 1st speaker of positive team said that: “There are many schools in Indonesia are less in facilities to support the teaching learning process.”
REPLY: You know, it is a shallow thought because positive team view the quality of education is based on the modern equipments. They forget the factors to have good students are not only from facility supports but it can come from the good environment. We can take an example of Laskar Pelangi. Everything there was really limited: Not enough teacher, bad school building, the students are from poor family and the school just has few students. But their motivation can bring them to be prestigious. Remote place has good weather, less pollution and calm. They are all needed in studying.
UAN is a good thing. And every thing always has obstacles. But don’t let the obstacles block the good idea. We realize that the national standard facilities aren’t well spread but we know that the government is on the way there. The government facilitates schools with BOS that can help the schools fulfill their need in educating students. One thing that we have to remember that nothing will work best at once. All needs time and process. Now, Indonesia is on the process phase to introduce the national standard quality to schools. So, there is no reason to abolish UAN.
From argument and reply of what the positive rebut, we: negative team sure that UAN must be done because it has good goal in future for the education in Indonesia. Thank you.

EARTQUAKES



An earthquake is a vibration or shock that occurs on the surface of the earth. Earthquakes are usually caused by movement of the earth's crust (tectonic plates). The word earthquake is also used to indicate the origin of the earthquake occurrence. Our Earth is solid though, always moving, and earthquakes occur when the pressure is happening because the movement was already too large to hold.
This type of earthquake
1. Volcanic earthquakes (Gunung Api) This earthquake occurred as a result of magmatic activity, which usually occurs before the volcano erupted. If its activity the higher it will cause an explosion that also will lead to the occurrence of earthquakes. The earthquake was only felt in the vicinity of the volcano.
2. Tectonic earthquake; This earthquake caused by tectonic activity, namely a shift in plate tectonic plates suddenly having the power of the very small to very large. This earthquake generated a lot of damage or natural disasters on earth, a strong earthquake vibrations can spread throughout the earth. Tectonic earthquakes are caused by perlepasan [power] is happening because of a shift in plate tectonic plates pulled like a rubber band and released abruptly. Power generated by the pressure between the rock known as tectonic disability. The theory of tectonic plates (tectonic plates) explains that the earth consists of several layers of rock, most areas of the crust it will drift and float in layers like the snow. Stir gently so that the layer-break berpecah and collide with each other. This is what causes the occurrence of tectonic earthquake.
Distribution map to follow specific patterns and rules and narrow, which follow the patterns of meeting of tectonic plates that make up the crust of the earth. In earth science (geology), a theoretical framework of tectonic plates is postulated to explain the phenomenon of tectonic earthquake that hit almost the entire region, adjacent to the boundaries of tectonic plates meeting. Examples of volcanic earthquakes is as happened in Yogyakarta, Indonesia on Saturday, May 27, 2006 early morning, at 5:54 pm,
1. Earthquake impact; This earthquake caused by a meteor or asteroid collision that fell to earth, kind of an earthquake is seldom the case
2. Earthquake ruins; Earthquakes usually occur in limestone areas or in areas of mining, these earthquakes are rare and localized.
3. Artificial earthquake; artificial earthquake is an earthquake caused by the activities of humans, such as dynamite blasting, nuclear or hammer that struck the earth's surface.

TSUNAMI



Tsunami (Japanese: 津 波; tsu = port, nami = wave, which literally means "big waves in the harbor") is the transfer of water bodies caused by changes in sea surface vertically with a sudden. Changes in sea level can be caused by an earthquake centered under the sea, underwater volcanic eruptions, underwater landslides, or or a meteor hit the ocean. Tsunami waves can propagate in all directions. Power contained in the tsunami wave height is fixed to the function and kelajuannya. In the deep ocean, tsunami waves can propagate with the speed of 500-1000 km per hour. Equivalent to the speed of aircraft. Deep-sea wave height is only about 1 meter. Thus, the wave speed is not felt by the ship which was in the middle of the sea. When approaching the coast, the tsunami wave velocity decreases to about 30 km per hour, but its height was increased to reach tens of meters. Tsunami waves can go blow up to tens of kilometers from the beach. Damage and casualties that occur because of the Tsunami can be caused by a blow of water and materials carried by the flow of tsunami waves.
Some of the meteorological conditions, such as tropical cyclones, storm surges can cause the so-called meteor tsunami wave height several meters above normal sea. When the storm made landfall, the shape can resemble the tsunami, although not a tsunami. Wave could inundate the land. This storm surge had flooded the Burmese (Myanmar) in May 2008.
The area around the Pacific Ocean has the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre (PTWC) issued a warning that if there is threat of a tsunami on this region. The area around the Indian Ocean are building Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System (IOTWS), which will be based in Indonesia.
Terminology
The word tsunami comes from the Japanese tsu means harbor and nami means wave. Tsunamis often Japanese. Japanese history has recorded at least 195 tsunamis occurred.
On several occasions, equated with the tsunami tidal waves. In recent years, this perception has been declared no longer appropriate, particularly within the research community, because the tides have nothing to do with the tsunami. This perception is popular because the first appearance of the tsunami that resembles a high tide.

The cause of the tsunami

Tsunamis can occur if an interruption occurs that causes the movement of large amounts of water, such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides or meteorite that fell to earth. However, 90% of the tsunami is an earthquake under the sea. In recording the history of some of the tsunami caused by the volcano eruption, for example when the eruption of Mount Krakatoa.
Vertical movement on the earth's crust, can lead to the ocean floor rise or drop suddenly, which resulted in disruption of water balance that is above them. This resulted in the energy flow of sea water, which when it reached the coast into a large wave that caused the tsunami.
The speed of tsunami waves depends on the depth of the sea where the waves occurs, where the speed can reach hundreds of kilometers per hour. When the tsunami reaches the shore, its speed will be around 50 km / h and its energy is very damaging coastal areas in its path. In the midst of the tsunami wave height sea only a few centimeters to several meters, but when it reaches shore wave height can reach tens of meters due to a buildup of the water. When the tsunami reaches the coast of the mainland will crawl away from the coastline with a range of several hundred meters can even be a few kilometers.
This vertical motion can occur on the earth fault or the fault. The earthquake also occurred in the subduction area, where the oceanic plate menelusup down the continental shelf.
The landslide that occurred on the seabed and volcanic debris can also lead to disruption of sea water which can generate a tsunami. The earthquake caused perpendicular movement of the earth layer. As a result, the sea rose and fell abruptly so that the balance of sea water which is above them disturbed. Similarly, cosmic objects or meteor that fell from above. If the size of a meteor or landslide is big enough, can occur megatsunami reach hundreds of meters high.
The quake that caused tsunami
• An earthquake centered in the middle of the sea and shallow (0-30 km)
• An earthquake with a strength of at least 6.5 on the Richter Scale
• An earthquake with a pattern of reverse fault or fault down

Tsunami - Indonesian Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Permainan bola voli pertama kali muncul Pada tahun 1895 oleh William C. Morgan, seorang direktur YMCA di Holyke, Massachusetts, menemukan sebuah permainan bernama mintonette dalam usahanya memenuhi keinginan para pengusaha lokal yang menganggap permainan bola basket terlalu menghabiskan tenaga dan kurang menyenangkan. Permainan ini cepat menarik perhatian karena hanya membutuhkan sedikit ketrampilan dasar, mudah dikuasai dalam jangka waktu latihan yang singkat, dan dapat dilakukan oleh pemain dengan berbagai tingkat kebugaran.

Permainan aslinya dahulu menggunakan bola yang terbuat dari karet bagian dalam bola basket. Peraturan awalnya membebaskan berapa pun jumlah pemain dalam satu tim. Pada tahun 1896 nama permainan ini diubah oleh Alfred T. Halstead, yang setelah menyaksikan permainan ini, menganggap bahwa bola voli lebih sesuai menjadi nama permainan ini mengingat ciri permainan ini yang dimainkan dengan melambungkan bola sebelum bola tersebut menyentuh tanah (volleying).

Penghitungan angka

Aturan permainan dari bola voli adalah:

1. Jika pihak musuh bisa memasukkan bola ke dalam daerah kita maka kita kehilangan bola dan musuh mendapatkan nilai
2. Serve yang kita lakukan harus bisa melewati net dan masuk ke daerah musuh. Jika tidak, maka musuh pun akan mendapat nilai

Ukuran lapangan bola voli yang umum adalah berukuran 9 meter x 18 meter. Ukuran tinggi net putra 2.43 meter dan untuk net putri 2.24 meter. Garis batas penyerangan untuk pemain belakang, jarak 3 meter dari garis tengah ( sejajar dengan net ). Untuk ukuran garis tepi lapangan adalah 5 cm.

Seiring dengan majunya zaman dan bertambahnya usia dari bumi ini, para pakar banyak berpendapat bahwa bumi ini sudah tidak dapat di kategorikan kedalam planet yang masih sehat, penyebabnya dirasakan oleh beberapa faktor yang menjadi penentu yang merubah status bumi menjadi tidak sehat.



Seiring dengan majunya zaman dan bertambahnya usia dari bumi ini, para pakar banyak berpendapat bahwa bumi ini sudah tidak dapat di kategorikan kedalam planet yang masih sehat, penyebabnya dirasakan oleh beberapa faktor yang menjadi penentu yang merubah status bumi menjadi tidak sehat.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLXjPohkHRpdUl5lCu5rjL8JwiZbRMISDkIOZ6lUzimcDswB608e3OsR2hSCP00matiGUgZZ7rWmdp2e6_6aILZChrNBggSpLXsU7Aee2cO0YHtgRfthx9KRbMobOLdSEV9z8rQFaws3h5/s320/051206winterblunderx.gif

Berikut ini adalah sepuluh kategori yang menyatakan bahwa bumi tidak sehat :

1. Melelehnya es di Arktik (Kutub Utara)

Studi terbaru memperkirakan bahwa perairan Arktik bisa meleleh dan bebas dari es pada musim panas minimal 30 tahun lebih cepat dari perkiraan sebelumnya.

Melelehnya es di Kutub Utara ini bisa memperkuat kecenderungan pemanasan global dan membahayakan penghuni Kutub Utara sendiri, dari manusia hingga beruang kutub.


2. Runtuhnya lapisan es Antartika (Kutub Selatan)


http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/6916/globalwarmingoh0.jpg

Wilkins adalah salah satu dari sembilan lapisan es Antartika yang telah surut atau runtuh dalam beberapa dekade terakhir. Lapisan es yang runtuh paling dramatis adalah Larsen A dan B, yang runtuh secara tiba-tiba pada tahun 1995 dan 2002.


3. Lubang di lapisan ozon


http://bojaiiko.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/sep112005.jpg

Lapisan ozon melindungi penghuni bumi dengan menyerap sinar ultraviolet berbahaya. Tapi banyaknya penggunaan bahan kimia dan polutan dapat membuat lubang besar di lapisan ozon. Dibutuhkan waktu hingga puluhan tahun untuk dapat memulihkan lapisan ozon seperti semula.


4. Meluasnya zona laut mati

Zona laut mati adalah kantong laut yang mana oksigen habis sehingga banyak ikan, kerang dan spesien lain yang tidak dapat bertahan hidup, seperti terdapat di Teluk Meksiko.

Zona ini terbentuk ketika pupuk tercecer dari sungai dan membuat banyak alga (tumbuhan laut yang memproduksi oksigen) mati dan membusuk.


5. Krisis karang laut

Terumbu karang adalah habitat laut yang penting bagi kebanyakan spesies laut. Tapi beberapa dekade terakhir, banyak terumbu karang yang mengalami krisis karena adanya penangkapan ikan yang berlebihan, polusi laut, penyakit, pemanasan dan pengasaman air laut.

Perairan samudera menjadi lebih asam karena menyerap karbon dioksida dari atmosfer. Artinya, semakin banyak polusi udara, makin asam air laut.


6. Penebangan hutan



Kawasan hujan, khususnya hutan hujan merupakan bidang utama keanekaragaman hayati, hutan juga menyerap karbon dioksida dan menghasilkan oksigen. Tapi laju penebangan hutan secara global bisa mencapai sekitar 32 juta hektar per tahun.

Selain itu, kekeringan yang disebabkan oleh pemanasan global dapat memperburuk situasi hutan di beberapa daerah.


7. Pencemaran air

Dua per tiga dari planet bumi ditutupi dengan permukaan air. Bila air tercemar, tentu saja dapat menyebabkan makhluk hidup di bumi tidak bisa hidup. Dampak pemanasan global juga mengubah pola ketersediaan air untuk minum dan pertanian.


8. Penumpukan gas rumah kaca di atmosfer

Karbon dioksida dan gas penangkap panas lainnya adalah polutan yang dapat meningkatkan emisi gas rumah kaca. Banyaknya gas buangan pabrik dan kendaraan akan memperbanyak jumlah emisi gas rumah kaca ini.


9. Hewan terancam punah


https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-DCJeATJZMdYy9OTiWARJVBkqkc0vZLCG0Asea9d9eCFJ4qdkBAAu3pDqAB2BdLYQqadF7zD459v1XJsSa21ULv1G8dgUeMT8Ut6xqg7ELupey0tQ5AEtJG0vG_5e3g-Ljw_UcE5jo-pc/s400/polar_bears480.jpg

Ketika habitatnya berubah dan terancam, hewan-hewan yang ada di dalamnya juga mendapat tekanan. Daftar Merah 2008 dari spesies langka yang diterbitkan oleh World Conservation Union mengidentifikasikan hampir 45.000 spesies yang terancam punah.


10. Pesatnya laju pertumbuhan penduduk

Pada tahun 2007, populasi dunia melebihi 6 miliar. Tahun itu juga menandai pertama kalinya dalam sejarah lebih banyak orang tinggal di perkotaan daripada daerah pedesaan. Enam miliar penduduk ini terus bersaing untuk mempertahankan hidup dengan sumber daya alam yang sebenarnya terbatas, seperti air, makanan dan bahan bakar.


Kehidupan bumi dalam hal baik dan buruk tergantung dari apa yang dilakukan oleh manusia itu sendiri yang tinggal di dalamnya, mengelola bumi seharusnya sudah menjadi tanggung jawab kita sebagai khalifahnya dimuka bumi ini.
