TUGAS BHS INGGRIS BISNIS 2 KE 4

“GOLPUT”


Menurut pandangan saya tentang “GOLPUT” adalah orang yang tidak memberikan hal pilihnya sebagai warga negara yang baik. Jadi menurut saya “ GOPUT” itu tidak baik, sebagai warga negara serta orang – orang yang berpendidikan dan juga orang yang berpikir rasional tentang kemajuan negara ini, dia harus berhak menentukan pemimimpin negara sesuai yang inginkan untuk tercapainya pemimpin yang sesuai yang dicita – citakan rakyat Indonesia atau bangsa Indonesia.jadi untuk itu pengunakanlah hak pilihmu sebagai warga negara yang baik demi kemajuan negara dan demi terpilihnya pemimpin yang bersikat adil untuk 5 tahun ke depan. Dan jangan budayakan juga “GOLPU” dikalangan keluarga kita, karena sebagai warga negara yang baik serta anak bangsa kita berhak menbrikan yang terbaik serta menentukan kemajuan bangsa kita.

THE DEFINITION OF HARDDISK


Hard disk is medium data storage on a computer that consists of a collection of magnetic hard disks and spinning, as well as other electronic components. Hard disks use a flat disc called the platter, which on both sides are coated with a material that is designed to be able to store information magnetically. Platter-platter by punching holes in the center are arranged and rearranged on a spindle. Platter spinning at very high speed which is controlled by the spindle motor that is connected to the spindle. Special literacy electromagnetic tool named head mounted on a slider and is used to store information in a disk or read. Slider mounted on the arm, all of which are connected mechanically to a single collection on the surface of the disc and is connected via a device called the actuator. There was also the logic board to regulate the activity of other components and communicates with the PC.

ATA / EIDE. EIDE hard disk (Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics) or ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) is the latest version of a stAndard disk interface suitable for connection to the bus. Many manufacturers have a range of disk with a disk interface EIDE / ATA disk can be connected directly to the PCI bus and roomates which is used in many PC (personal computer).
SCSI. Many disks have interfaces designed for connection to a standard SCSI bus. The disks tend to be more expensive, but have better performance which is possible due to excess SCSI bus than the PCI bus. Access to the same can be done for many disk drives as the drive interface is actively connected to the SCSI bus only when the drive is ready to transfer data. This is especially useful in applications where there are a large number of requests for small files, which often happens in a computer used as a file server.
RAID. Promises great performance and provides a large and reliable storage. Disk is used both in high-performance computer and in systems that require dramatically higher reliability than normal levels. However, with the decline in prices to a more affordable level, the disk becomes more attractive even for a computer system with size – average.

SATA. SATA hard disk of the type (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment), the disk interface ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) by using the serial version of the thin cable that has small wires. Total about two-thirds of total hard drive cable with type EIDE or ATA disks are numbered 39 pins and SATA has very high speed data transmission and reducing latency. So, this serial bus is able to exceed the speed of parallel bus.

“KEKERASAN” DALAM DUNIA PENDIDIKAN



Sampai detik ini, tidak banyak orang yang mengamati tentang problema yang cukup serius dalam dunia pendidikan. Hal ini terkait dengan terbitnya buku “Kekerasan Simbolik di Sekolah” karya Nanang Martono, yang telah membuka mata kita, bahwa masih ada kekerasan yang dilakukan di sekolah, baik oleh oknum dari dalam maupun oknum dari luar sekolah. Jika mendengar kata kekerasan, otak akan langsung merekam bahwa itu adalah kekerasan secara fisik, seperti yang masih sering terjadi di Indonesia pada saat ini.
Sejak dahulu, kekerasan selalu menjadi jalan utama untuk menerapkan kedisi­plinan pada anak. Di pesantren, sekolah, bahkan di rumah, kekerasan seakan sudah dihalalkan. Sebagian hal itu memang dapat menimbulkan efek jera pada sang anak. Namun, pada sebagian yang lain kekerasan malah menjadi beban mental, gangguan psikis, ketakutan, bahkan trauma. Apalagi jika itu diterapkan pada anak yang masih dalam tahap awal pembelajaran.
Pada realitanya kek­erasan masih sering terjadi, khususnya dalam dunia pendidikan.  Di Indonesia misalnya, siswa SD Islam Sudirman, Cijantung, Jakar­ta Timur, mengalami tinda­kan kekerasan fisik dari gurunya. Mulutnya dilakban sampai luka-luka, karena sering ramai di dalam kelas (28 November 2006). Siswi SMP 282 Jakarta juga mendapatkan tindak kekerasan dari guru Bahasa Inggrisnya, ditampar karena tidak mengerjakan tugas yang diberikan (Ramadhan, 2008).
Melihat rentetan kejadian di atas, dapat diartikan bahwa konsep kekerasan yang dilakukan tidak lagi mengedepankan masalah kedisiplinan. Akan tetapi lebih pada tekanan psikis pribadinya, yang merasa tindakan yang dilakukan siswa tersebut telah menyinggung harga diri sang guru. Seharusnya  guru bisa bersikap lebih dewasa dalam hal ini. Kekerasan fisik seperti itu hanya akan menimbulkan dampak negatif.
Hal tersebut berbeda dengan kekerasan simbolik yang diungkap Nanang Martono, dalam bukunya yang bersumber dari sebuah ide sosiologi pendidikan, Pierre  Bourdieu. Dalam buku tersebut penulis menyimpulkan, bahwa kekerasan simbolik adalah kekerasan yang hanya bersifat simbol, tidak secara nyata, berjalan perlahan, akan tetapi implikasinya sangat mengena bagi psiko­logi anak didik atau murid. Seperti pembagian kelas yang membedakan antara kelas favorit dan kelas yang tidak favorit. Kelas favorit lebih diisi dengan siswa dari kalangan atas (kaya), dan yang tidak favorit diisi dengan siswa dari kalangan bawah (miskin).
Membedakan antara kelas atas dan kelas bawah, berarti secara perlahan telah melakukan penindasan kepada si miskin. Dari keterbatasan ekonomi, membuat siswa mandek sekolah. Akibatnya, otak yang seharusnya diasah dan didesain untuk masa depan malah mengalami stagnasi, bahkan kemunduran secara pola pikir. Anak yang seharusnya berprestasi terkalahkan oleh anak dari kalangan “penikmat”.
Ditambah lagi dengan munculnya BSE (Buku Sekolah Elektronik), yang terkhususkan untuk siswa SD. Kekerasan simbolik di sini terakses lebih banyak dalam buku Bahasa In­donesia. Mata pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia di tingkat Sekolah Dasar, merupakan mata pelajaran yang masih dalam tahap pengenalan huruf, menyusun kata dan pembentukan kalimat dari benda-benda yang ada di lingkungan sekitar sang anak.
Namun, BSE Bahasa Indonesia yang menunjang proses pembelajaran, malah memuat bahasa dari orang kalangan atas (kaya), yang kebanyakan tidak dikenal dan tidak terdapatkan di lingkungan anak dari kala­ngan bawah (miskin). Seperti penyebutan nama papa, mama, eyang. Penyebutan pekerjaan seperti dokter, pilot, pramugari. Penyebutan tempat liburan, pantai, Taman Mini, Puncak, atau bahkan penggambaran denah rumah yang meng­gambarkan bentuk garasi mobil, kulkas, mesin cuci. Siswa SD yang tidak pernah mengenal kata-kata seperti itu sebelumnya, imajinasinya akan terpaksa berputar, membayangkan apa-apa yang belum pernah ia lihat.
Masa kanak-kanak adalah masa pembentukan karakter juga penanaman moral, respon dan daya ingatnya sangat dipengaruhi oleh lingkungan di sekitarnya. Imajinasinya sangat luas berkait dengan apa yang diketahuinya. Adanya BSE tentu tetap ada dampak positif dan nega­tifnya untuk sang anak. Jika ia tidak dikenalkan dengan sesuatu yang tidak pernah diketahui sebelumnya, maka ia akan tetap tidak tahu, atau akan tahu tapi dalam proses yang lama.
Akan tetapi, jika sang anak tetap dipaksa untuk menerima apa yang sudah menjadi ketentuan, maka bisa jadi ia malah menganggap bahwa apa yang ada di lingkungan sekitarnya adalah buruk, tidak termasuk dalam kualitas pendidikan yang diajarkan di sekolahnya.
Pertama, keluargalah yang paling berperan penting dalam pembentukan karakter dan pengetahuan pertama kali pada sang anak. Ke dua, guru yang harus bisa mengarahkan imajinasi siswanya pada imajinasi yang dapat diterima dan sesuai dengan kapasitasnya. Seberapa penting BSE itu terbit tidak akan berpengaruh apapun pada siswa, jika tidak ada pengarahan dari sang guru. Hanya sedikit saja dari siswa SD yang mau mem­baca sendiri buku sekolah yang diterimanya, di sinilah peran guru sangat dibutuhkan.
Tidak hanya seorang guru yang pintar dan bisa menguasai muridnya, akan tetapi lebih dibutuhkan akan guru yang benar-benar mempunyai jiwa kecintaan pada pengabdian. Mampu menyamaratakan hak dan kewajiban atas peserta didiknya. Waallahua’lam bil assawab
