Semarang Floods Due to Lack of Cooperation Between Citizens and Government

Gambar
          The flood that hit Semarang on March 14 2024, shows the city needs to act before disasters. Despite warnings, not enough was done to prevent the damage. Even though the government moved money to fight floods, it hasn't been enough. While officials say only a small part of the city is affected, the truth is much worse.      The flood has caused big problems, like damage and people losing their homes. Official stats don't capture the full extent of the damage. People and the government need to work together to solve this. If they don't, the most vulnerable communities will continue to suffer.      Collaboration between citizens and the government is key to dealing with disasters. By working together, they can better understand the risks and help those most in need. But without this cooperation, solutions won't be as effective. This leaves already vulnerable groups even worse off.      Without collaboratio...

The Indonesian society has not been wise in choosing its leader

Gambar
    On February 14, 2024, the Indonesian society collectively held a general election. After four presidential and vice-presidential debates, the public was obliged to choose one of the candidate pairs. Unfortunately, the previous debates were largely disregarded, especially by those uninterested in the election. Most Indonesians have not been diligent in selecting their leaders.     As future leaders of the nation, many candidates offer social assistance such as money, basic necessities, or other forms of support to win over the people. Sadly, this aspect often garners more attention than the candidates' performance or backgrounds. Many Indonesians, especially those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, choose leaders or representatives based on the social assistance they receive. However, social assistance is not a measure of a candidate's ability to lead the country effectively.     According to a survey, Indonesian voters rarely change their preferences...

     SMK Negeri 4 Semarang is one of the best vocational high schools in Semarang City. Established in 1952, it was originally named Pendidikan Guru Praktek Pengajaran Teknik (PGPPT) and underwent several name changes over time. The school is centrally located and shares its vicinity with four other schools.      Situated at Jalan Pandanaran II No. 7, Semarang, SMK Negeri 4 occupies nine buildings covering approximately 1,379 hectares.

The trash pile in the cafeteria of SMK Negeri 4 Semarang

            Waste is defined as items that are no longer suitable for use. In Indonesia, waste management remains a problem that has not been effectively addressed. Indonesia has even been named the third-largest contributor of waste in the world. One significant source of waste in Indonesia comes from schools.      The majority of schools in Indonesia have yet to embrace environmentally friendly practices, leading to a proliferation of plastic waste on school premises. This waste accumulates, worsening the school environment, especially in areas like the school cafeteria. The cafeteria, intended for food sales, often becomes cluttered with waste.      Take, for instance, SMK Negeri 4 Semarang's cafeteria. While numerous trash bins are provided around the area, they are not managed effectively. Both plastic and organic waste pile up in the same bins, creating an unpleasant sight. Cafeterias should ideally be clean and hygi...

Coastal Litter

Gambar
Trash is a problem that is not effectively addressed yet. Many people still lack awareness of how to properly manage trash. An example can be found on the coastline of Chicago, United stages. There are numerous trash bins on the coastline, but garbage often pills up and spills out, making an unpleasant smell. The coastline looks dirty because there is trash everywhere, and animal going through. The garbage can bother tourists. Additionally, trash is thrown away without sorting it into categories like organic and non- organic, which means workers have to extra work to deal with it. Trash not only makes the environment worse but also spread diseases like diarrhea, fever, and skin Injections. So, it is important to teach people how to dispose of trash properly. That can help reduce a small portion of the waste in the surrounding environment.
