Social Issue in Indonesia : Poverty

Hello guys! Today, we’re gonna tell you about social issue in Indonesia. Indonesia is a developing country with a lot of social issues, like unemployment, corruption, poorness(poverty), racism, social inequality,  crime, etc. But, we’re going to tell you about poverty issue in Indonesia.

Poverty is a situation where there is an inability to fulfill basic needs like food, clothes, a shelter place, education and health. This is actually a global issue.  But, some countries have been able to reduce poverty in their countries, as mimimum as possible. But, the rate of poverty in Indonesia has reached 14.15%  of  the total population in Indonesia. Of course, this is not only surprising us, but also making us worry. Because Indonesia is a country with so many natural resources so it just don’t make a sense why there are so many poor people in Indonesia.

Poverty in Indonesia is caused by:

1.     Corruption

Someone is called a corruptor (person who do corruption) when he takes money or something that is not his. Well, this word is mostly used for public servant who takes country’s fund. Corruption that is done by public servant in Indonesia makes Indonesia’s poor citizen can’t be helped by the country.

2.     Criminalization

Actually, this one is complicated. Criminalization can be done by poor people to fulfill their daily needs but this can be done by lazy people who don’t want to trouble theirself with work. Not only that, unemployment can also do this for some reasons, like they are desperate because they can’t find any job even though they have no more money to fulfill their needs.

3.     Unemployment

There are a lot of people in Indonesia who still remain unemploy because of so many reasons. This might be because there are not enough job opportunities in Indonesia, their low level of education, etc.

4.     Low work motivation

5.     The low quality of natural resources

6.     The distribution of income is uneven

7.     The low level of education, etc.

We have find the solution as fast as possible and we have to help each other so we can reduce the poverty in Indonesia. The government should help to. The government has to be firm with the corruptor, they have to be given a very heavy punishment. The government and us, we all have to help each other to give more education to the ones who need, to help them get a better medical support, etc. Because, they need us, they need our help, they are hungry, they are sick, they are cold, they are lonely.

This is going to be our last article because our integrative task is over. Thank you for supporting us and thank you for always reading our articles. We hope you like our articles. 

The Condition of Education in Indonesia

Hello guys! Today, we're back with a new topic. We are going to tell you about education issue in Indonesia. The condition of education in Indonesia at this moment is quite worrying. This is because many children can not have an education like the other children. They have lost the time for playing or going to school because they are forced to work to support the economic conditions of their families. Moreover, the crime of corruption is very wide circulation in Indonesia could also lead to a decrease level of education in Indonesia. In fact, the Indonesian government has issued funds for educational expenses, quite large actually, but the outcome of the big funds have not been satisfactory. Is not yet satisfactory because there are still many schools damaged and nearly collapsed.

          Not only that, the case of brawl, free sex and drugs that led the students also proved that there is a lack of moral message in Indonesian education.

           Therefore, the government should increase the free school to help children who are unable to attend school. In addition, the government should use the great funds for education to the fullest extent, for example:

1. Use the fund to build a school or repair damaged schools

2. Provide facilities, such as: tables, chairs and computers to schools in need.

3. Improve the quality of teachers.

          If the education funds can be used for the things like the above, the quality of education in Indonesia will increase. Not only that, teachers and the school should increase the moral message in teaching so things like free sex, brawls and drugs not going to ensnare students. Thank you for reading this post, please wait for another issue we will post later.
