TIME IS TICKING FAST

TIME IS TICKING FAST Written by: Mahesa Sidarta Science is based on research, theory, facts, evidence, logical thinking, and causal relationships but Science is failed to explain about heaven and hell...Mahesa Sidarta I am not a religious expert and am not a psychic.  I am just an ordinary person with many mistakes and sins but I try to make myself useful for others.  Let me share my writing about the end of the world. Since the beginning many people have thought about the end of the world.  Thus, the major religions on this planet have explained a complicated perspective on the end of the world.  In Christianity, the Book of Revelation describes Armageddon, the final battle on Earth between the forces of God and Satan.  Hinduism offers a version in which Vishnu returns to combat evil as a figure on a white horse.  The doomsday belief of some ancient religions can still be felt in today's modern secular society. According to some ...

Education Can't Keep Up With The Fast-Moving World Now

Education Can't Keep Up With The Fast-Moving World Now I stand for a different education: a different education where students will not just learn moral principles, but they shall be living examples of moral principles Written by: Mahesa Sidarta I am just an ordinary English teacher.  I have been teaching English for more than 10 years.  I am often underestimated by great academics because I am considered to be an incompetent teacher and out of the specified teaching path. I am just an ordinary teacher who will probably create the awesome students with my little knowledge in the future. Continuing education at university is a good idea.  You enter, choose a major that you like, learn from experts, and ready to work in the future.  This is why so many people (around 40% in rich countries) decide to go to college, even if it means making huge financial and personal sacrifices.  So many people do, it doesn't mean it's a good thing to do....

The Silence of Democrazy In America

The Silence of Democrazy In America   No real intention of devolving power back to the people By: Mahesa Sidarta Over the course of the 19th century did a set of entrepreneurial thinkers begin to dress an ideologically self-conscious republic up in the unaccustomed robes of a democracy. Throughout America, the old social hierarchies were being upended by rapid industrialization, mass immigration, westward expansion, and civil war. Egalitarian sentiment was rising. The idea that the people should rule came to seem appealing and even natural. The same institutions that had once been designed to exclude the people from government were now commended for facilitating government “of the people, by the people, for the people.” In 1965, the Voting Rights Act, drawing on the Fifteenth Amendment, set out to protect the vote of black Americans. The once-peculiar claim that the United States was a democracy slowly came to have some basis in reality. Americans have never loved t...

The Importance of Moral Values in Our Life

The Importance of Moral Values in Our Life By: Mahesa Sidarta Values denote desirability of the end results of given actions. They give rise to principles that work as guides to conduct. They are not normally enforced by the state unless they have been incorporated into law. Their implementation depends on the larger society’s approval of the conduct in question. Societies have gone through different historical experiences in developing norms to evaluate conduct. These norms are not universally the same. Aggrieved parents and husbands resort to honour killing in some countries but not everywhere. Moral values are taken as such because they are generally considered to be right guides to conduct. Let us see if we can identify some of them. The following come readily to mind: commitment to truth, justice, rule of law, equality of opportunity, respect for human life and dignity, loyalty to friends, patriotism, hard work, and compensation only from the labour...

Greed for Power

GREED FOR POWER By Mahesa Sidarta EXTREME POWER The purpose of power is to serve, not to overpower and oppress the people in the name of service. Each of the responsible citizens do not abdicate power but delegate to representative trustees by at elections. Elected representatives of the Legislature, and power holders in the Executive and the Public Administration and the Judiciary are delegated the power of sovereignty of the people and they should use that power for the well-being and progress of all the citizens and their common homeland. In the modern state power is delegated on the basis of humanness and not on grounds of race, religion, language or gender. ‘Sovereignty is not a mantra or a political incantation to be bandied about by less than honest politicians in the face of foreign powers who as citizens of the human world and as neighbours demand that our own citizens’ demands for human dignity and rights be respected and not annihilated by foolish and irrational ...

The reasons why you don’t need perfect English

The reasons why you don’t need perfect English By: Mahesa Sidarta When a non-native speaker of English works in an English-speaking environment there are obvious disadvantages: We, as the non-native speaker, may not understanding everything; you may feel that you’re the odd one out; you may even be excluded from or not be able to participate in certain cultural or social events. However, we’re going to be positive and take a light-hearted look at the advantages of having less-than-perfect English when all around you there are native speakers. Here are the tips: 1. As a foreigner you may be shown more respect simply because you are able to work in a foreign language. (Let’s face it, how many British or Americans can manage more than a few phrases in a foreign tongue, let alone are able to survive and work in that language?) 2. As a non-native speaker you can change your mind later or alter your position on something simply by apologising and saying that you didn’t fully...
