Crisis of Humanity


Despite of being the most smart creature, we homo sapiens are largely facing lack of humanity values. The theory of modern economy sparked by Adam Smith has totally tortured us in the name of equality, peace, and fairly wealth distribution, either the inherent doctrine of “a low expense for the greatest income” has. Moreover, his believe which we praise a lot as “the most modern” economy system has been roughly obsessing to every human soul since the Industry Revolution.

As what Bill Gates had predicted, our economy system has yet to plan how to handle a pandemic of a disease. Laterly on February 2020, the WHO declared the covid-19 has been being a world pandemic disease after spreading largely in almost every nation. This pandemic has severely encouraged the authority to put all strengths in order to save humanity in which a failure will cause a massive death. At this point, what really lied at the bottom of government’s heart would surely appear to the public sight. Deciding a policy is a topic which inevitably engages public health, economic, and politic then within a span of seconds, the policy was rashly decided to handle the lethal crisis. So, which one will be put into precedence?

To begin with, Indonesia announced its first case of covid-19 in the last week of February and today April 14th, I discover a cheap ticket of Jakarta – Yogyakarta prized only Rp 300.000, it is the cheapest travel serviced I’ve ever found about. Therefore in this circumstance, Indonesia still holds on to the policy of cheap airplane ticket in order to invest the tourism sector. Bali, as one of the most visited tourism in the world vastly risks its own public health by accepting others. Beside, the rage of local people largely reached its peak after finding out a party organized by a number of foreigners. Then luckily other nations break off every foreign-air travelling, neither didn’t Indonesia.

2. Kemanusiaan yang adil dan beradab

Undoubtely, the second verse of Pancasila has always been loudly being conveyed all day. It shows us the most important old values from the elders. The meaning of being fair and decent is that every man of this nation shall not be distinguished by his belief, gender, job, and especially economic earn. Enhancing this generous trait would be an indicator which relevant to society health and welfare because of equal distributed masker. Only by care and emphaty will we be able to accomplish this great task. However, achieving this well being has been so hard lately in spite of a large stock of maskers. People tends to put their ass in priority rather than pull the others. Providing a high prize maskers for instance has been a prevalent lately due to the concept of modern economy. This is where the less- affluent has to go to enormous length in order to get by. A ten times higher than the normal prize which shall be used to feeling safe. Only the one who possed an exorbitant welfare can afford it. This aforementioned fact has successfully unveiled the truth aim of modern slavery.

In the other hand, the era competition of globalisation vastly obseess all the pride of universities. They always compete indirectly for the inventing of most advanced technology to serve the nation rather than incorporate to solve the main problem, so do their students. This act of individualistic has roughly blinded the intellectuals to be over proud and uncare to the people need. Surely, this cited evidence is likely set by the neoliberalism which leads to the lack of togetherness and collective aware. Moreover, this modern trait has been lied inside our people who love to compare one to anothers in every aspect of life. Indeed, the neighboard’s grass seems to be greener as always.

How climate change adaptation produces inequality

According to Asia's fact sheet from IPCC (2022) , cyclones, floods, and typhoons have displaced 9.6 million in South, Southeast, and East Asia in 2019, or about 30% of total global displacement. This phenomenon will worsen as IPCC found that climate change in the form of rising temperature increases the floods in monsoon regions like Southeast Asia. Together with the heat stress, the fact shows that surges will highly likely harm food availability, resulting in undernourishment. In 2020, the floods combined with sea-level rise had increased the risk of 30,522 lives in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Jakarta (Indonesia), and Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam). Furthermore, an additional 10,830 people will also be at high risk in 2035 (IPCC, 2022) . In Indonesia, the destructive impacts of climate change on the coastal sector, sea-level rise, will be responsible for 70.82% of the potential economic loss in 2024 for approximately 5.45 billion USD (National Development Planning Agency, 2019) . The most ...

Australia Safeguard Mechanism’s Impacts on Economy

  Executive Summary      Australia sets a target to reduce emissions from 621 MtCO 2 -e in 2005 to 354 MtCO 2 -e in 2030 (DCCEEW, 2022a) . However, under the current effort, it is probable that Australia will emit 390 MtCO 2 -e in 2030 (DCCEEW, 2022b) . As deeper cut is fundamentally required, the Albanese government has just reformed the safeguard mechanism to further pressure the carbon emitters business to adhere closely to the Australia’s goal by strictly limit their caps. To achieve the national goal, it is expected that the new emission cap will be progressively tighten at least 4.9% per year (DPMC, 2023) .      The mechanism is criticized as a ‘toothless tiger’ since emissions from fossil fuels-related industries ironically grow up (ACF, 2022) . Since 2005, the sectoral emission trends in stationary energy, transport, and fugitives have increased 27.4%, 13.2%, and 14.1%, respectively due to continued growth of production and export...

Timor, A Global South within Global South

  Beta percaya refleksi tu bagian dari co-production of knowledge . So, this is my reflection of my latest six-month research in Timor. What is a global south? Firstly, let’s talk about what planning is . Planning atau perencanaan merujuk pada (UN-Habitat, 2009, p. 3) adalah upaya kolektif orang-orang untuk intervensi alam dan mengubahnya menjadi sebuah tempat atau kawasan yang sesuai dengan tujuan kolektif tersebut, khususnya dalam konteks sosial, politik, dan lingkungan. Tentu dalam perencanaan tersebut, banyak multidisplin yang terlibat termasuk masyarakat itu sendiri, pemerintah, dan para investor. Kalau kita gali lebih dalam, terdapat 5 aspek dalam perencanaan (Healey, 2003) : orientasi mengenai masa depan dan aksi-aksi sekarang akan mempengaruhi potensi masa depan, fokus pada kehidupan dan keberlanjutan untuk orang banyak (bukan hanya beberapa kalangan), keterikatan dan kesinambungan antara satu rencana ke kejadian yang lain, fokus dalam pengembangan pengetahuan aksi publ...
