MATSWAPATI

 

Matswapati is a west java culture themed festival in my school,  in particular is sundanese culture. This festival was hold at September 27th 2014 in Lapangan Bali at Bali street near my school. Not only SMAN 3 student that participated in this event, but also another student from some junior high and elementary school in Bandung. The teachers also participated to help.

There were very many guest stars, like the artist and famous singer in Indonesia. Thatmtime i came at 10.00 a.m and the opening ceremony had ended. I saw a lot of chidren wore traditional clothing. And after that, there were a lot of traditional art show for example Calung, Benjang, Degung, Reog and many others. There was a West Java Traditiona Food Festival, yummy! I and my friends bought some food, they were very delicious.

But, beause of in that day i have others schedule, so after the Reog show, i went home and i did not get to watched the following event. But i had sufficient time to see Matwapati’s gallery about Indonesian Artists. I really regret not to participated in the festival untill the end. My friends said that the show was very amazing and fun! But i have some photos that i toke wih my friend at Matswapati.

BULLYING

 

 Bullying can be defined as form of discrimination, supression, opression and many negative activities. I think bullying is a very wrong behavior, because there are very many impact that will be appear to someone who bullied. Bullying can happens in any place, but it very often occur in the school environment. According to my observation, bullying that very often occur in the school environment is a exclusion. Someone who bullied usually is student who weird, loner, or have a hard time to comunication with other student. Or the victims of bullying usually have low-self esteem, its can be a causes of the deficiencies that he/she thus feel inferior and shy away from others.

                And, someone who does the bullying usually have a high convidence, has a power in some things like social status, relationship, and many others. This causes the person to feel superior to other students. Bullying is not only done by one person to another, but can be done by the group to individual. I think, the right thing when we find someone who kept himself/herself, reserved, and have low-self esteem, our job is to help him or her to more confident. Be a friends of that person, so that will make him/her feel welcome and comfortable in our environment.

                We need to stop bullying from now. Because bullying does not have the slightest positive impact. Bullying can lead to hostility. In addition of physical disorders, the more dangerous impact is the mental disorders that woul be experienced by the victim. Victims can fell stress that can further lead to mental disordes. Bullying is also violation of human rights, because every person is entitled to a safe and comfotrable environment, has rights to not be tortured both physically and psychologically. The difference of social status is the main cause of this bullying. By instilling a sense of frindship, love, and help each other we can prevent this bullying. Stop Bullying! Make a piece!
