The Industrial Revolution

You realize how you can sit in front of your screens being an employee of a company or charging a big manufacture company. Probably, something happened in 1900s placed in England changed the mindset of human race from Feudalism to Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution was a transition to new manufacturing process from 1900s and ended between 1920 and 1940. The signs of the existence of the Industrial Revolution are from the use of machines, the development of chemical manufactory, textile industries, stronger building manufactures, and  the end of Feudalism.

A lot of people think that the Industrial Revoulution is no more than just an ordinary revolution like others. But, they don’t realize that actually, things they are using right now are the result of the Industrial Revolution. As a young generation, we should know how things became easier now than the past times.

The Industrial Revolution is the rapid development of industry that occurred in Britain in the late 18th and 19th centuries, brought about by the introduction of machinery. It was characterized by the use of steam power, the growth of factories, and the mass production of manufactured goods (https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/industrial_revolution).

This revolution has a major impact to our life. You could know it when you see skycrapers made of iron, steel, glass, and almost as tall as the clouds in the sky. It is all because people have developed technologies and discovered out more since the Industrial Revolution. The most simple example of the Industrial Revolution that is still used until now is a sewing machine. People don’t need to spend a lot of time sewing their clothes all day long. They could just use it to shorten their time. The other example from the Industrial Revolution that you can find in this century is the steam engine which is created by James Watt. It helps us in such large scale. Instead of using foot, people in the industrial revolution travel by steam train. Even now, people has developed steam-powered locomotive and discovered an electric locomotive which uses electricity as its main power.

It is true that this revolution brings good things to us from many sides. But, this revoution is not always advantageous as it seems to be. One of the disadvantageous of this revolution is the beginning of pollution. Before all the factories came about during the revoluton, there was no major sources of water and air pollution in the world. The pollution never stopped after this time and continues to contaminate our air, land, and water. The other negatve impact from the Industrial Revolution is the major decrease of the bright winged butterflies. The pollution that caused by the factories in that time failed the attempt of the bright winged butterflies to camouflage themselves from the butterfly hunters. It will be easy for hunters to say whether there’s a butterfly or not, because bright winged butterflies cannot cover themselves in a thick black smoke that caused by the factories in that time.

Japanese Urban Legend

Teke-Teke One night Satoshi was walking home. His cram school had just let out, and it was nearing 10 pm. As he passed through a neighborhood, he saw a beautiful young girl near the top of an abandoned building. She was leaning out the window, with her elbows propped on the windowsill. She looked down at him, contempt and jealousy hiding behind her eyes. Suddenly, the girl jumped out of the window. Shocked, Satoshi could do nothing but watch her fall. When the girl landed, Satoshi realized the horrible truth. She had only half a body. Her lower half looked to have been cut off by something.  Satoshi remembered hearing on the news about a recent tragedy, where a girl was accidentally pushed off a train platform and onto the train tracks. The train cut her in half, killing her. But she was right here, in front of him. She started dragging herself toward him, a scythe in one hand. As she skittered toward him on her elbows and claw like hands, a “teke teke” s...

Learning from Nature

source : http://www.radhanath-swami.net/radhanath-swami/learning-lessons-nature Personally, I define nature as a unity of the living that god has created around us. Nature's main function in our world is to maintain the balance in this world by supplying and standing up for each of nature's component such as giving oxygen that is made by plant for human to breathe, etc. Nowadays, that main goal couldn't be maximizely achieved yet because many humans doesn't really care about nature and only enjoys the benefits that they get from nature by exploiting it's richness for themselves. The effort that is done by the environmental activists aren't enough yet to sustain our nature in a balance status. Other than that, the number of humans that do positive things are less than those ones who actually harm it. I, as a student who cares to all livings including animals and plants, we need to protect them because, they already support our live by giving free oxygen to b...

Who Helped Me Out?

Hi, again! This time I'm going to tell you the most helpful person I've ever had in my life which is my   mom. Back then when I was little, she was the one who is always carrying me. She also gave her best effort to look after me even if I always cried and exhausting her. When I grew up into a kindergarten boy, she still cares so much about me. One of the actions that she had done for me was teaching me to count numbers, reading fairytale stories, colouring, and many more. There's one time when I'm very afraid to communicate with my friends at kindergarten. I feel afraid to lose her so I cannot lose my sight from her at anytime. But, she encouraged me to be a strong and brave person who can stand alone even if she's not there for me. Moreover, through all supports from my family, friends, relatives, espescially my mom and dad, I can manage to pass all of problems and gain achievements, such as studying at 3 Public Senior Highschool Banding which is very famous scho...
