Debate

On August 14,2018 my teachers told us to make a group of 4 because we will have a debate sessions and we have to choose one problem. We also have to make a resume for all those debate sessions. So, here is my resume :

1st Group Topic: Should the Government Nationalize Freeport?

Pro:
The supporting side said that the government will have a huge control over the people working there and states that in fact Freeport is kind of failing right now so it's time to take it over.

Contra:
The opposing side said that Indonesia is not ready yet, doesn't have enough resources to nationalize Freeport fully and work it without help from other countr(ies).

My opinion : 

I think Indonesia will be ready to have a huge control of Freeport in years, maybe 5-10 years. But, while preparing it, keep our relation with other count(ies) good because Indonesia need their help.

2nd Group Topic: The Price of Eggs is Raising Because of Idul Fitri

Pro:
The supporting side said that it is normal because there is the economic law of offers and demands. And, they need profit too. As demand is always increasing at that time of the year, it's normal to have egg prices increasing.

Contra:
The opposing side said that it is not friendly for people who are in not good economic condition. Idul Fitri is supposed to be the time where they enjoy a little bit of luxury, but with the egg prices increasing it might not be so easy to get. Restaurants can't make enough money too if they don't charge higher prices

My opinion :

I think its not a new thing that happened at Indonesia, its more likey to be an annual thing to happen because its happens every years. So, i think, we, as Indonesian people, know how to be prepared when that thing is happen.

3rd Group Topic: Economic Growth After 1998

Pro:
The supporting side said that after 1999, we started to see the increasing of GDP, HDI, Poverty, and an improvement in democracy as people started to choose the Government again instead of being chosen by MPR.

Contra:
The opposing side said that before 1999 the society was better, so it's kind of downgrading now. Dollar value still increases, and a lot of corruption still happens. Prices were lower too at that time of year.

My opinion :

I think every people have their own opinion about the economic growth but I think after 1999 our economic growth is better.

4th Group Topic: Zoning Policy that Collides with Our Country's Fundamentals

Pro:
The supporting side said that a lot of students are too far away from their school and the zoning policy will provide better infrastructures for every school and delete the criticism that the division between high-quality schools and low-quality schools are really visible currently. This is recognized by the results of the National Exam, where grades in Java are way more superior than other islands.

Contra:
The opposing side said that even though students will be closer to school, they will still use their own transportation which still increases traffic jam and pollution. It also destroys the potential of smart kids who doesn't live close enough so they are not able to join the "favorite" schools. This also degrades the quality of the more reputable schools.

My opinion:

I think the zoning policy didnt have enough impact to the traffic jam but have enough impact for students because ,usually, the "favorite" school location is at downtown which is far from residential environment.

5th Group Topic: Illegal mining in Aceh

Pro:

The supporting side said that illegal mining in aceh happen because it is the only one of their job and no more job vacancy. If the government want to blocked the mining they should give/ provide the job vacancy.

Contra:

The opposing side said that the illegal mining is very dangerous for the people who did it because they didn’t have any safe equipment so they have to risk their own life. Beside it the mining is very dangerous for the environment.

My opinion :

I think the government must take more serious action about the illegal mining because the miners is risking their own live to find money. For the solution, the goverment can give them the opportunity to have a legal work.
