GNML Session 10


Hello Everyone! How's it going? It has been 6 months since I'm joining GNML program "Social media for Social Change." In this program the participant has to choose 1 issue in their home community and make a campaign on social media. Then I chose brawling in Jakarta high school students for my specific issue, and started to share it through social media. 

For me, this program is priceless. Beside I learned how to use social media for a positive purpose, I also gain more knowledge about what issue that happened in other countries. This experience led me to become more useful person, since I usually using social media just for fun. Now, I know I can use Social media for a positive changes! For me this experience open broader network with new friends from all over the world. I can discuss with all of new people from social media and get "richer" with knowledge. The best part is, learning that "sharing" with other people is super easy. Through social media, I can share everything and every time with people from all over the world. 

The most challenging session for me is LinkedIn session. I never know about LinkedIn until there was a session to ask me to make LinkedIn account. I don't understand the purpose of this app before, It took me several time to read what is it for and to finish the assignment. 

The most important single thing I learned is, how to catch up everything on social media. Because in social media, if we're not update our soc-med account frequently, people may forget it easily. In here, I learned how to engage people, make them read what we wrote, make people care then make a move.

CAMPAIGN FINAL REFLECTION

Blogger: First of all, I think writing on blog is my biggest weakness of all the social media. Posts on blog tend to have long writing and I'm not really good to write long paragraph. Later on, I have to work on my blog and make it better.
Twitter: I like twitter better than blog, because it's 140 characters long haha. People rather see shorter writing than the long one. I wrote some simple facts and pictures on my twitter. I think that's a good start to engage more people.
YouTube: I love youtube so much! I'm pretty good to mess around with video and make it good for my campaign. I just have to learn more and more to make it look more professional
Facebook: This one is the most familiar to me. So far I can handle it but to make it more professional and advance campaign, I still have to learn more .
Instagram: This social media is new to me. I never use instagram before, but I enjoyed it. some of the pictures were taken by me, and I edited it. So I think I'm doing good on Instagram.
LinkedIn: This one is the most confusing thing ever haha. I'm still trying to update my profile more, though. And I'm still trying to connect with lots of people that relates to my campaign.


Thank you GNML and all the staffs for gave me the chance to tried everything in this online course. I'm sure when I get back to my home country, I will share these knowledge to the local people :)

Governor Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s move to stop student brawls has earned political support from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) faction at the City Council, who also said parents should play an important role in educating and monitoring their children.
Dwi Ria Sumbodo, a member of Commission E on education and social welfare at the council, said her commission and faction fully supported the governor’s quick response to handling juvenile crimes, including student brawls in the city.“Our faction appreciates the educative and humane approach deployed by the governor,” she said as quoted by tribunnews.comRia, who is also secretary of the PDI-P faction, said that parents should always monitor their kids. “Family is a moral gate after education,” she said.

Alright, politic party takes part to sweep out the brawling issue amongst high school students. Now it's your time to take part!

interview with one of the ex-student

Hi readers!! How are you?
So...In this post, I'm gonna tell you a little interview that I've done with a friend of mine that used to involved in brawling/fighting when he was a high school student.

Here we go~

Q: what makes brawling(fighting) happen in Jakarta?
A: the main cause of fighting between high school students is : hostility between schools/the "hangout spot" that came from senior doctrine or classmates. another reasons they fight are :
-  to prove they have 'guts' and don't want to be called as a coward
- coercion from their senior to attack other school ( usually senior ask new underclassmen to do that)
- not dare to fight with bare hands
- influenced by friends
- addicted to violence/fight.
Q: What is the greatest cause of fighting?
A: the greatest reason for me are senior doctrine and self evidence ( to prove my self that I wasn't a coward)
Q: In your opinion, what do you think of brawling? good or bad?
A: In the past, I thought as long as they fight without any harm weapon was okay. It was just like a new addiction for me, I thought it was the most fun to do.
Q: Why do you think it was fun?
A: for me, I felt my adrenaline went all out during fighting. I felt so extreme and daredevil. The feeling when I fight was unbeatable..you know, I just was feeling so brave without thinking actually what I was doing. The feeling when I did racing or other bad thing was nothing compare to fighting.
Q: So..in your opinion: fighting is okay? Now, if you have a chance to choose to support anti-fighting or pro-fighting or careless about the issue, which one are you gonna choose?
A: After what I went through, I choose to support anti-fighting. Fighting is just absurd. Just don't! Don't try to do that!
Q: What do you think is the most effective way to decrease fighting in Jakarta?
A: well.. it has to come from the fighter itself, and they need something that make them regret to fight to stop them from fighting.




"Fighting is Absurd"
                               "Fighting is Absurd!!!!"

you know it will make you regret later. Don't you dare to try!
As he said above, to reduce fighting occur so often, they need something like a treatment to make them regret. So, friends,family,teacher,school,neighbor,police please step in together to solve this problem in Jakarta!
Convince your friend,family or whoever to stay away from fighting. Remember, don't let it grow as a culture..ew

SPREAD THE WORD!!

It's a matter of pride for them


Hi readers! how are you?
I'm back....so I want to share you about the foremost reason for the fighting between Jakarta high school students.
Check it out : http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2012/10/04/pride-not-rivalry-triggers-student-brawls.html

So, a friend of mine knows this things very well or he's actually involves in that kind of world. He told me a little bit about "behind the fighting"

So this is true, the main reason is pride. Generally, Indonesian love to socialize and interact each others. High school students, especially the guys love to hang out after school. Each high school usually has each "hang-out spot."It's not a fancy spot, but really comfy for them and somehow fit for lots of people. They usually chit-chat with friends or play game there. To this point, they are still okay. But then come up a weird idea. They want to show they are more stand out than other dudes from other school. They want to be known, more exist, and feared by other school. Then they compete for pride.

“To some extent, other schools fight us because they want to prove they can defeat us. It’s a matter of glory, not always rivalry,” Iban, 16, a 12th-grader at a public school in Jakarta [Jakarta Post]


Then, it continues to the next generation....
The innocent new generation, entering high school without any enemies. But the seniors told them to keep continue the "tradition", brainwash about the pride, or how to be coolest guy on earth. The innocent new generation then imagined too far and changed their mind. Fighting is like a new obligation for them. Now, they new generation think they have enemy. The fact is it's unilateral enemy, not necessarily they have a problem with the opposed school. Inevitably they gotta do it for..pride


Now,we're know....What are we gonna do? let them grow?let the"tradition" alive?
You better not..oops I mean you have to stop it
how?

don't let your friend/son/daughter/sister/brother/girlfriend/boyfriend/junior/senior get involve in brawling... you gotta speak up! Tell them it's totally wrong!
