DISTINGUISH BETWEEN A FAMINE CHILD AND A CHILD ARTIST

Here, I want to try to distinguish between a famine child and a child artist. The comparison may give you an image about two things are very different.

A famine child is part of life suffering which a child can't hold his/her suffering because a child is too hungry. There is about 1 millions famine children in the world, especially in Africa. We must know how a famine child can survive through his/her suffering. The condition of a famine child is very unhealthy and can cause a variation disease. For example, The drought and famine in Somalia have killed more than 29,000 children under the age of 5. the U.S. estimates that more than 29,000 children under the age of 5 have died in the last 90 days in southern Somalia. That number is based on nutrition and mortality surveys verified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Another example, Malik has decided to steal bananas Supriadi, because her children are hungry, while two other kids at school ask for spending money. The history of this theft occurred after the suspect did not have a permanent job after his return from the island of Sumatra, 5 months ago.

A child artist is part of celebrity life. Usually, a child gets a popular artist by singing, dancing, playing chess, etc. As we know that the life of an artist child always have a glamour life and much money. It is automatically that a popular artist get richer if he/she can show his/her talent through entertaintment intensively. For instance, Justin Bieber became a sensation in the United States in 2009 after being discovered by Scooter Braun through a video singing local competition sports "Stratford star" in Ontario, published on YouTube by the mother of Justin in 2007, where Justin ranked second. The popularity of Justin Bieber worldwide in a short period of time known as the "Bieber Fever", which is the nickname given to fans with excessive obsession with Justin Bieber. Another example, Brandon De Angelo, Hip-Hop Dancer of Fortune Experience Surabaya to Jakarta. On the talent show, Brandon showed their dancing skills on the hip-hop music accompaniment. Every show that he had received a positive assessment of the jury. In the group stage he became the winner of the SMS votes. This makes him a drive up to the semi-final. This was unexpected, because the family did not mobilize people for sending SMS to support boy born November 10, 2001 year.

The relationships of the comparison between a famine child and a child artist are in child age and young talent. They can show their talent in child age perfectly through many experiences. According to Yusuf (2002), in child age has vitality periode and aesthetic periode. At this time, every person who use biological functions to find several things in your world. For the study, Freud was appointed the first year in the life of that individual as the oral (mouth), because the mouth is seen as a source of children enjoyment include anything in your mouth, it is not because the mouth of the main sources of enjoyment, but since the mouth is a tool for carrying out exploration (research) and learning. (b) the aesthetics. At this time, considered the development of a sense of beauty. The aesthetics of the word here in the sense that in this time of child development, which is primarily a function of the senses. Activities of exploitation and learn how to use the senses, especially children, at this time, the senses are still sensitive, that create a variety of Montessori equipment to train the game of the senses.

Besides, according to Hurlock (1980: 108) is characterized by its reflection in the common name given to parents, teachers, psychologists, Yes:) sign used parents. There are some titles to describe childhood rights, ownership of tersbeut range of behaviors and activities that make children, most parents believe in early childhood, the age, who invites problems or difficult age. Childhood is the period which is difficult for parents, because in early childhood that children develop a unique personality and demand freedom, which is generally less successful. In addition to some older people also consider the early years of childhood, as a toy for children under the age of easily spend most of the time also plays with his toys. (b)), the term used by teachers. Although teachers of early childhood age as pre-school preschool age is the age that has not been entered

Two things are very different from the aspect of life. How do we realize about the comparison or the difference of a famine child and an artist child? It it important to know and to understand how we respect our life.

TAMAN MINI INDONESIA INDAH

Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) or "Beautiful Indonesia Miniature Park" (literally translated) is a culture-based recreational area located in East Jakarta, Indonesia. It has an area of about 250 acres (1.0 km2). The park is a synopsis of Indonesian culture, with virtually all aspects of daily life in Indonesia's 26 (in 1975) provinces encapsulated in separate pavilions with the collections of architecture, clothing, dances and traditions are all depicted impeccably. Apart from that, there is a lake with a miniature of the archipelago in the middle of it, cable cars, museums, a theater called the Theatre of My Homeland (Theater Tanah Airku) and other recreational facilities which make TMII one of the most popular tourist destinations in the city.

This idea to build the smaller scale of Indonesia was originally came from former Indonesian first lady,Siti Hartinah or best-known as Tien Suharto. The idea came out at a convention on 8 Cendana Street at March 13, 1970. Through this recreational site, she hoped more Indonesian people will have more national pride than before. The project called "Indonesian Miniature Project" was started by Harapan Kita Foundation in 1972. The concept of this culture-based recreational area was taken from the fact that Indonesia has unparalled richness and diversity from many different aspects.

TMII was originally located on a public area of 145 ha, as farms and fields. Later, the team was able to convert these fields into a suitable location for the construction. The topography of TMII is rather hilly, consistent with what the builders required. The team claimed the advantage of utilizing this uneven terrain was the ability to create interesting and diverse landscapes and enclosures, as well as reflecting the various characteristics of the Indonesian environment.

Tanah Lot

Tanah Lot is a rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali. It is home of a pilgrimage temple, the Pura Tanah Lot (literally "Tanah Lot temple") and a popular tourist and cultural icon for photography and general exoticism.

Tanah Lot means "Land [sic: in the] Sea" in Balinese language. Located in Tabanan, about 20 km from Denpasar, the temple sits on a large offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide.

Tanah Lot is claimed to be the work of the 15th century priest Nirartha. During his travels along the south coast he saw the rock-island's beautiful setting and rested there. Some fishermen saw him, and bought him gifts. Nirartha then spent the night on the little island. Later he spoke to the fishermen and told them to build a shrine on the rock for he felt it to be a holy place to worship the Balinese sea gods.

The Tanah Lot temple was built and has been a part of Balinese mythology for centuries. The temple is one of seven sea temples around the Balinese coast. Each of the sea temples were established within eyesight of the next to form a chain along the south-western coast.

At the base of the rocky island, poisonous sea snakes are believed to guard the temple from evil spirits and intruders. A giant snake purportedly protects the temple, which was created fromNirata’s scarf when he established the island.

Karang Bolong Beach

The name Karang Bolong means Rock (Karang) with a Hole (Bolong). This may have been some frozen lava, formed during the eruption of Mount Krakatau.

There is a small forest, which has been converted into a recreation spot. There is a river flowing down to the sea where people can have a bath of fresh water after swimming in the salty sea.

Pangandaran Beach

http://www.indonesia-tourism.com/west-java/photos/pangandaran.jpgSmall mainland peninsula with a national park with beaches and stunning scenery to rival the beaches of Bali on the south coast of Java. Pangandaran is one of Java's best-kept secrets as far as international tourists are concerned, but has been extremely popular with locals for along, long time. A small fishing town, it possesses one of Java's finest beaches and Pangandaran Nature Reserve teems with wild buffalo, barking deer and monkeys. The people are very friendly, this combined with the idealize surroundings make this a great place to spend a few days relaxing island-style. Pangandaran is halfway between Bandung and Yogya, about 5 hours by bus from Bandung and 8 hours from Jakarta.

This is the second beach resort area on the Indian Ocean after Pelabuhan Ratu. The site is 223 from Bandung and 400km from Jakarta. The trip by car or bus is recommendable because the road conditions are good. However, if we prefer to take the train, get into Bandung-Yogyakarta Express train and get off at the Banjar railroad station about 4 hours later. From here it will be another 50 km by bus to Pangandaran. The beach is called Penanjung, where most of the cottages and hotels are located, however, of modest ratings. Nothing luxurious should be expected. Pangandaran is especially of interest to nature lovers, as there is a wildlife reserve in the vicinity where wild birds and other indigenous animals live about freely to be enjoyed by visitors. In Pangandaran visitors will like fine white beaches, blue ocean and fine seafood. Twelve kilometers before arriving at Pangandaran visitors will see a huge rock on the beach, which is called Karang Nini.

Another place of special interest for nature lovers is a forest Conservation Park, close to the camping ground, which has basic facilities suitable for the younger set. Somewhat further out, west of Pangandaran, driving 23 km on the way to Parigi, lays Batu Hiu, meaning Shark's Rock, a coastal rock that has the shark shape.
