Pemuda adalah manusia yang berusia 15 – 30 tahun.
Bagi suatu bangsa pemuda merupakan harapan bagi bangsa itu sendiri, tidak
terkecuali bagi Negara Indonesia yang memiliki jumlah penduduk 258.316.051 jiwa
dan Indonesia berada di urutan ke empat
dengan jumlah penduduk terbanyak di Dunia. Tingkat kelahiran di Indonesia
setiap tahun nya meningkat. Tidak dipungkiri dengan jumlah penduduk yang banyak
tersebut Indonesia memiliki banyak pemuda yang akan menjadi penerus bagi bangsa
Indonesia untuk kedepannya.
Sebagai
pemuda Indonesia sudah seharusnya kita memberikan konstribusi untuk Negara ini,
banyak cara yang dapat dilakukan untuk mengharumkan nama Indonesia dimata dunia
seperti belajar yang rajin sehingga bisa mendapatkan beasiswa ke luar negri, mengikuti
lomba di tingkat nasional maupun internasional.
Pendidikan
karakter bagi anak Indonesia sudah diajarkan sejak dini bahkan ketika masih di
sekolah kanak-kanak pun kita sudah diajarkan tentang karakter. Sehingga pada
saat ini karakter lah yang menentukan apakah orang tersebut sudah di didik
dengan benar sedari kecil.
Dalam
melakukan suatu pekerjaan pasti memiliki adab tertentu yang patut kita patuhi,
contohnya saja adab berbicara dengan orang lain kita harus mendengarkan dengan
baik apa yang disampaikan orang tersebut agar kita memiliki rasa saling
menghargai satu sama lainnya.
Pemuda
yang berilmu lebih dipandang daripada pemuda yang hidupnya hanya untuk
hura-hura saja, karena di Indonesia masih memiliki pola pikir dimana seseorang
yang memiliki gelar sudah pasti orang tersebut berpendidikan. Semakin tingginya
tingkat pendidikan seseorang maka semakin dihargai orang tersebut ditengah
masyarakat.
Jadi,
bagi masyarakat Indonesia ketika kita memiliki ilmu, karakter, dan adab yang
baik itu merupakan sudah termasuk salah satu cara menjaga nama baik Indonesia
dimanapun kita berada karena masyarakat Indonesia terkenal dengan keramah
tamahannya terhadap orang asing bahkan orang yang baru dikenal.
Before we discuss about the country that I
really wanted to visit. I want to ask something, if I mention the name of
“South Korea” what is on your mind? Kimchi, K-Drama or K-Pop Music? yap! for
some people definitely know what I have mentioned above.
So, at this point I
want to discuss about the culture of South Korea. I think everyone already
knows South Korea country but only some people know about the culture of the
country that is synonymous with the name of ginseng country.
Seoul, South Korea
Seoul,
officially the Seoul Special City,
is the capital and largest metropolis of South Korea. A megacity with a
population of more than 10 million, it is the largest city proper in the
Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) developed world.
The Seoul Capital Area, which includes the surrounding Incheon metropolis and
Kyonggi province, is the world's second largest metropolitan area with over
25.6 million people, home to over half of South Korea's population.

Relative Location of Seoul
Seoul is located on the Han River. Seoul
is also located in the northwestern part of South Korea. If you look at the
entire Korean peninsula it is just about in the center. The center of the city
is about 37 miles inland from the Yellow Sea which is to the west. Seoul is
also just 35 miles from the Demilitarized Zone which separates the Republic of
South Korea (ROK) from the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK). This is
an important note because a "state of war" still exits between the
two countries and this puts Seoul well within artillery and rocket striking
range of the DPRK.
Absolute
Location
Seoul's
latitude and longitude is 37º1'North, 126º58'East.

Let's learn about the
culture of south korea which I think is very unique.
1.Language in Seoul
The official language of Seoul is
Korean. Korean script is known as Hangul. Korean is also classified as one of
the Altaic languages. It has affiliations to Japanese and contains many words
derived from Chinese. A large number of English words and phrases have also
crept into the language—either intact or modified by local usage—as a result of
the American presence in the country since 1950.
These are signs written in Hangul at the Namdaemun
Market in Seoul.
2.South Korea Population
South Korea is officially known as The
Republic of Korea and is located in the southern part of the Korea peninsula,
which neighbors China to the west, Japan to the east, and North Korea to the
north. The land area covers 99,392 square kilometers and has a population of
50.6 million in 2016. The largest city and capital is Seoul, which has a
population of just under 10 million. Under its current constitution, the state
is also referred to as the sixth Republic of South Korea. The country had its
first election at 1948 and operates under a powerful presidential system.
South Korea is known as for its
population density, which is more than 10 times the global average. Due to
rapid migration as a result of the quick economic expansion from the 1970s,
South Korea is now Asia's fifth largest economy and one of the world’s 15
largest economies.) The population is shaped by international migration; after
World War II, about four million people reached South Korea. This trend of net
entry reversed over the next 40 years of immigration. The percentage of foreign
nationals are also growing rapidly, and today it’s the most homogeneous society
in the world with 99% of residents being of Korean ethnicity. The birth rate of
South Koreans is no longer the lowest in the world, but a low birth rate and aging
population continues to lead to concerns regarding the future population.
3.Seoul's Economy
The manufacturing sector is one of the
top employers in the city of Seoul.
However, the service sector employs the largest proportion of the city’s
workforce. Major employers include the many multinational and trade
corporations whose headquarters are in Seoul, financial and insurance
companies, and professional and business service firms. Seoul is also the
center of finance for the country. The headquarters of the major stock
exchanges and banks are located in the northern and southern districts and on
Youi Island. Seoul also hosts many
annual trade shows. Food processing, beverage production, and publishing and
printing are also important to Seoul.
This is a picture of world leaders arriving to the
Seoul Summit in 2010.
4.Social Organizations
-Family Patterns
The
typical South Korean household consists of a nuclear family with a father,
mother, and two children. Fathers in particular exercise a great degree of
authority over their sons.
-Social Class
Historically,
people wore clothes in colors that reflected their social class. Kings and
other royalty wore yellow to symbolize their authority. Common people indicated
their modesty by wearing mainly white.
These are
Korean court dresses. As you can see, they are not yellow to show modesty
towards the king.
This is a
picture of a Korean court. The emperor is wearing yellow to symbolize his
authority.
5.Arts and Literature
Seoul is the home of the National
Academy of Arts and nearly all of the country's learned societies and
libraries. The National Classical Music Institute, also located in Seoul, is
engaged in the preservation of the traditional court music of Korea and in the
training of musicians. Seoul is complemented by two Western-style symphony
orchestras. The Sejong Center for Performing Arts has facilities for concerts,
plays, and exhibitions and is the location of an arts academy. In addition,
there is a national theatre, an opera, and a number of public and private museums.
6.Customs and Traditions
-Traditions
Here
are two examples of Korean traditions:
Special
celebrations, known as paegil, take place on the 100th day after the birth of a
child. Friends and family members are invited for a lavish meal. Traditionally,
the first offering of soup and rice is made to the grandmother of the child.
Also, to share the joy in the birth of the child, plates of rice cakes are sent
to neighbors and friends who return the plates with money, rice (wishing the
child a prosperous life), or a long thread (wishing the child a long and
healthy life).
Dol
(doljanchi, or tol) is probably one of the best-known of the Korean birthday
celebrations. Dol is celebrated for the first birthday of a child. When Korea
had little medicinal knowledge, many newborns would die from childhood diseases
or because of Korea’s seasonal temperature differences. When a child lived to
be a year old during that period, it was a very joyous occasion.
-Customs
Here
are a few examples of customs in Seoul:
If
an elder, including a Korean superior, wants to drink with you, turn away as
you sip your drink.
When
eating with a group, it is bad manners to let someone's glass sit empty. When
you notice someone's water, beer, soju, or any beverage is running low, ask if
they would like a refill.
When
pouring for an elder, pour with your right hand and use your left hand to hold
your right arm as a show of respect.
Money
is revered and is also handed back and forth between people using two hands to
show respect.
This is a
cup of Korean tea.
7.Religion
Korea
has no national religion. Freedom of religion is constitutionally guaranteed in
South Korea. Christianity is relatively new in Korea as Roman Catholic
missionaries reached the peninsula in the late 18th century. Confucianism is
still very much in evidence in Korean daily life and family relationships.
Buddhism still remains influential—even among people who may be nominally
Christian. More than two-fifths of the population professes Christianity with
Protestants (particularly Presbyterians and Methodists), independent
Christians, and Roman Catholics comprising the largest groups. One-sixth of the
population is Buddhist.
This is a
picture of Buddha on his birthday when many Buddhist Koreans visit him.
8.Seoul's
Government
Seoul's government consists of the Seoul
Metropolitan Government, which is the executive branch, and the Seoul
Metropolitan Council, the legislative body. The administrative structure
contains three tiers: si (city), gu (district), and dong (neighborhood;
literally, “village”). The mayor of the metropolitan government and the mayors
of the gu are elected to four-year terms. Serving under the mayors at both
levels are vice mayors and directors of bureaus, offices, and divisions. The Seoul Metropolitan Council is headed by a
chairman and two vice chairmen and includes standing committees, special
committees, and a secretariat; it has more than 100 members, who serve
four-year terms. Most council members are elected to represent their respective
districts; ten other members are elected on the basis of proportional
representation.
This is a
picture of the mayor talking at the opening ceremonies of the 2009 C40 Seoul
Summit.
9.Human Environment Interaction
-Trying To Make Seoul Greener
Citizens
living in Seoul have taken drastic steps to try to reduce the amount of
pollution they create and to curb their reliance on fossil fuels. When they
found out Korea was ranked 136th out of 146 countries in the 2002 Environmental
Sustainability Index, and 120th out of 122 countries for air quality, the South
Korean government and major stakeholders recognized that air quality needed
major attention. Citizens are now trying to help their environment and are
aiming to make Seoul one of the greenest cities in the world.
-The Cheonggyecheon River
By
1970 the area along the Cheonggyecheon River had turned into slums and the
water was very polluted. The river was
later concreted over. As cars took over
the city, the river bed was turned into a road, and then an elevated six-lane
motorway was built above it. It was one of the most comprehensive obliterations
of the natural environment ever perpetrated.
This is a
picture of what is left of the Cheonggyecheon River which used to be much bigger.
Okay, I think that's all you must know about South Korea hehehe How? interesting right? You should visit South Korea by yourself if you want to feel the unique culture.
Most interesting
tourist attraction in this island are Diving, Snorkeling, and Camping.
Pasumpahan Island as Pulau Pasumpahan in Bahasa Indonesia is a very small
island covers the area around 5ha contain Mangrove forest, Palm trees, White
sands, the sea creatures like colorful fishes, sea turtles, and coral reefs
ecosystem. Some of the tourists who came to this island also loves to swim
around the island, start from the east side to the north side of the island and
then back to where we start. It takes normally around 2hours, yes a little bit
of a challenge here of course if you imagine swimming on the ocean that long.
However, with the
current quiet and diverse marine life, peoples sometime ignore how exhausted it
can be, just enjoy all the feeling which slowly replaced with the admiration to
nature. The waves were rather strong that came from the opposite side of the
swim lanes were only found on the west side of the island but with a good
Snorkeling instruments, good swimming suit and a waterproof camera, will keep
us busy even produce the extra energy to finish that 2km swimming distance.
Pasumpahan Island is in
the administrative area of Bungus, Teluk Kabung district, Padang city, West
Sumatra, located not so far from Sikuai island around 200m and 45km from Padang
city. In addition to various types of coral reef fish / ornamental fish like
red lionfish (Pterois volitans), teripang/sotong (Sepia sp) dominated by
Chaetodon trifascialis which can be found near Padang underwater are also very
interesting to be enjoyed by tourists.
Some of the Minang
Kabau tribe believe the name of this Pasumpahan Island inspired from the Malin
Kundang folk tale, its a story about a child who lives poor near the beach with
his mother. One day he was sailing like usual and never coming back, there he
became a wealthy merchant and land his ship on the beach, his mother came to
him and he denied to meet that old, poor and dirty woman. after a few time
begging the mother cursed Malin Kundang that he would turn into a stone if he didn't
apologize. Malin Kundang just laughed and set sail. In the quiet sea, suddenly
a thunderstorm came. His huge ship was wrecked and it was too late to
apologized. He was thrown by the wave out of his ship, fell on a small island,
and suddenly turned into stone. "Pasumpahan" means "Vow".
Well enough with the
story, back to the island which attract many local tourists and foreigners
beside its quiet ocean surroundings, white sands and coral reefs ecosystem,
some peoples also loves camping in the Island, yes its possible to spend the
night Naturally , dont dream about a homestay like in Pagang Island &
Pamutusan Island or the other islands nearby, Pasumpahan Island has no
hotel/homestay except an abandoned old hut, looks slowly destroyed by nature and
no longer maintained. Water resource is possible for washing only, so make sure
to bring enough mineral water to drink and a good tent if you plan to stay in
the island. Sleep under the tree or even the beach when you have a good
sleeping bag, is also an option. Pasumpahan Island is a good choice for most
beginners diving class, because of its typical quiet ocean.
From this story you can imagine what will you do if you visit Pasumpahan Island? So, what are you waiting for?

1. How
important is tourism for our country, Indonesia?
I
think tourism can be associated with a variety of things. such as Culture,
Economics and Politics. in this context I will take the example of the Culture
and Economy.
a.The
Connection Between Tourism and Culture
Indonesia as the
country with various tribes and cultures. This makes the main attraction for
local and foreign tourists, to know the culture in Indonesia is very unique.
Culture can not be separated
from tourism, because the culture has a close connection between culture and
tourism, with the culture they know the origin and customs areas they have
visited and if there is a culture according to their unique and it will give a
sense of satisfaction of its own to them, so they will visit the countries that
have a distinctive culture for example in Indonesia.
Tourism can help
introduce Indonesian culture is known by local and foreign tourists in order to
increase foreign exchange. Culture will not be known by the public without any
tourism activity. Culture in an area could become an icon of tourism that will
become a tourist attraction. So the connection between tourism and culture can
cause a variety of advantages, namely increase revenues, create jobs, culture
in the area increasingly popular in the eyes of national and international, and
indirectly the culture in the region can be more sustainable.
The development of
tourism positive and significant impact on the local culture, which looks at tourism
can boost the motivation of artistic creativity of the sculptors to work more
innovative and more varied in accordance with the needs of tourism and
increased business competition, to know the culture of various countries,
mainly through various booking artwork apart which is produced by the local
community.
b.The
Connection Between Tourism and Economic
Tourism generates huge
economic benefits for the host country and the origin of the tourists. One of
the main motivations of a country promotes itself as a country with a tourist
destination is arising in the economic progress, especially for developing
countries. Along with other impacts, so rapid economic improvement also
occurred with various advantages and disadvantages.
Indonesian people who
live around the tourist attraction will sense a high income if a lot of local
and foreign tourists who come to enjoy their holiday. for the first time they
will rent a place to stay for a few days, on this side we can see the revenues
received by the local people. furthermore they needed a guide to find out what
the existing culture in the areas he visited, from this side we can see that
tourism creates jobs for the local community who are able to use a foreign
language. after tourist completed his journey then they will buy a souvenir
from the area they visit, it's also a great opportunity for the community
create souvenirs that are related to the areas visited by tourists.
2. What
is difficulties challenge for tourism in our country, Indonesia?
The difficulties challenge for Pasumpahan Island in
West Sumatra
Pasumpahan is an island
situated in the district of Bungus, Padang. West Sumatra, Indonesia. Claims
will be the beauty of the sea make this island began to be known by local and
international tourists.
Pasumpahan Island is
located approximately 200 meters from Sikuai Island. The island has the
attraction of white sand beaches with coral reefs that are still good.
The beauty behind
Pasumpahan Island, but there are still many people who do not know where the
island has white sand is located, the lack of government attention in the field
of tourism for this island advertise in various media both in Indonesia and
overseas.
For Indonesian people, Sumatra Island is the island
is located very far from the capital city of Indonesia, so many of the local
tourists have never visited Pasumpahan Island, but unlike the foreign tourists who are
already enjoying the beautiful Pasumpahan Island.
This island is
uninhabited so the facilities provided was inadequate such as restaurants and
places selling souvenirs. so, if you want to visit Pasumpahan Island better bring your
own lunch.
