Global English isn't just one kind of English; it's a way for people from different countries to understand each other better.

For example, it's better to say "She wrote an email" than the more complicated "An email was written by her." It also says that sentences should be short and direct because this helps people understand quickly. Global English avoids idioms and slang because they can confuse speakers learning English. Instead of "This task is a piece of cake," whi...

Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie was more than just a president ; he was a visionary. His life story shows that you can be smart, full of passion, and brave. He was known as "Mr. Crack" because of his work in aeronautical engineering in Germany. He chose to return to his homeland, Indonesia, to help his people. As Minister of Research and Technology, Habibie was the person in charge of developing Indonesia's first aircraft that was made in the country itself, called the N250. This wasn't just about building a plane; it was about making people proud of their country and showing that Indonesia could compete with other countries around the world. His most important work was done during a very difficult time in 1998. He was suddenly president and could have tried to keep things as they were. This clever engineer surprised everyone by supporting democracy. He was in charge for only 17 months. In that time, he made sure that the press could speak freely, allowed new political p...

The Merdeka Curriculum is a big change for Indonesia's education system. It's very different from the previous 2013 curriculum, which was very strict and taught a lot of information. Its aim is to create a more flexible, student-centered learning environment emphasizing critical thinking, character development, and practical competencies rather than memorized information. This new curriculum gives schools and teachers more flexibility. Educators can adapt learning materials and methods to their students' needs and the local context, creating more meaningful learning experiences. It also emphasizes comprehensive growth through the P5 project-based learning initiative that integrates ethical values, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving. This approach cultivates well-rounded individuals who are proficient and responsible. However, the Merdeka Curriculum has some difficulties. Teacher readiness is the biggest challenge. The curriculum is flexible and creative, but teachers,...

We've recently been taken aback by news of artificial intelligence (AI) being misused for sexual harassment . The news spread quickly, causing concern for many people. One of the most disturbing cases involves the use of deepfake technology to create fake nude photos and videos of children at a school. It's ironic that a technology intended to benefit human civilization is being used for such destructive purposes. I am strongly against the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for sexual harassment. This happens because it violates the privacy of people who have been hurt and can hurt their mental and emotional well-being. This crime must be stopped. Why is this happening?  There are a few things that can lead to people using AI in the wrong way to sexually harass others, especially deepfakes,  which are videos that are made to look like real-life videos; ea sy access ; deepfake tools are becoming easier for the public to access; lack of regulation;  there are no clear and ...
