ECDC Class Material #2 : Patriotism

Hi, this is our material for today meeting class, check it out guys ! 

Patriotism is an emotional attachment to a nation which an individual recognizes as their homeland. This attachment, also known as national feeling or national pride, can be viewed in terms of different features relating to one's own nation, including ethnic, cultural, political or historical aspects. It encompasses a set of concepts closely related to those of nationalism.  An excess of patriotism in the defense of a nation is called chauvinism; another related term is jingoism.

Now, the question that arises is, why does a person get so very attached to the country of his birth, the reason is not far to seek. He is born here, nurtured here, blooms into a full fledged lovable youth here and becomes the very soul of the place.

Thus, it is not surprising that, he should love the country that has given him so much. It is to be expected that an individual loves the country of his birth, just as a person loves his mother who gives him/her birth. Rather, on the contrary it would be shocking to see people without any affection for their country, an individual not caring for his country would sound unnatural strange and even unethical.

The fruits of their untiring efforts are being enjoyed by the generations to follow. This is the gift of a patriot, he works to his full capacity, and the fruits are enjoyed by the generations to follow. We are all breathing fresh air, living in a free country, and enjoying all kinds of freedoms those patriots never lived to enjoy. Thus, the freedom that we are enjoying today is the gift to us from out patriotic forefathers. Let us always remember them and at least silently pay homage to them.

This drastic change in our attitudes towards patriotism has appeared on the national scene because, we, as individuals have become too selfish, too self centred and individualistic. We never think of helping our own country in its growth and development. If our next door neighbour is rich we never go and stay with him as he is better off than our own parents then, why do we prefer to go and settle anywhere we must only get money more than what our country can afford to give us.

We, in our desire to earn more and more wealth do not even hesitate in destroying the coming generations – what loyalties were, and what they are, a dismal fact. This degeneration and deprivation has seeped deep into our Indian psyche – we live only for ourselves. The societies, the future of the nation, the nation are of no consequence to us.

“ Feminism : The Queen of Equality , isn’t it ? “ ( ECDC DISCUSSION CLASS MATERIAL , September, 2016 )

Hi, sorry for waiting to long. Our topic in September is Feminism, right ? So we will have certain discussion about it, and after that we will have a little evaluation about it . Well we are educational organization right ? Let's try to be little campus in our lovely campus ( Well even with no PowerPoint and Ph.D Lecturers of course )

                                                                                            ( Sources : the odysseyonline.com )

“ One of the purpose i wished to spread is : Respect all the livings, it rights , it feelings, forcefully or unforcefully, avoid to hurt other, at any cost “ -  Kartini, Long Time Ago

Since many thousand years ago, women are positioned as supplementary people, the housekeeping person, even “a person” is such high status that all women not allowed to have. Demanding for a freedom, demanding for a equality and equity , a feminism is a mind core of what women are wanted for herself. Kartini as one of Gender Equality Pioneer in Indonesia state that there isn’t thing more despicable than only depending to other. Women should be independent, have same right, equal pay, equal job, equal this and that .

Asking for some equality is highly corelated to the thing we called injustice , well there is many kind of justice that this feminist wanted, or at least, their justification of “justice” ( Pembenaran terhadap Keadilan #TheirJustice ) . I am a man, and in Indonesia itself, the idea of “ Cewek Selalu Benar “ is simply the injustice to us, really folks ! . This is idea that justified the regime of women towards their position in society makes them a holy jolly queen that should be obeyed at all cost. YES MAM !

I’m agree with the concept equality, those to concept of feminism, yes of course, i’m a feminist ! . We simply agree that skilled women are worthed to have higher position, rank, even duty than mam. Even in some point, we agree to women toughness over problem solving. But, is it stay on its philosophical line, or became an excuse to everything ?

We are intended to clarify those thing , how actually your opinion about feminism specially in Indonesia, it’s effect, are the concept of Men-Women Justice truly levelize it. Is that worked and how far ?

                                                                                                                            - EunuchDC

So ! That's a short brainstorming for our issue today, prepare for your paper, your pen, your mind. We will see you soon.
