Gambar
 Everyone has their own way to capture their moments. Currently people are self-portrait called selfie. Then they post a photo of themselves on every social media. If we look at social media, we can see many pictures of selfies in every situation. There are people who take pictures when he orders food at a restaurant. There are people who take selfie while going to the sights. There are people who are confident when dating their girlfriends. There are people who can catch when they cry, laugh and other emotions on their faces, etc. Temporary fun is acceptable, but if we post our new photo every day or every time it's not necessary. Isn’t it? Yesterday I was watching "Hitam Putih" on Trans TV. At the end of the program, Dedy Corbuzier said "Many people like posting selfie photos every day, so what is the purpose of our selfie excactly? Is it just for impress people ?

I do believe the quotes that are said “The million steps in the journey s is starting from the first step”. Yeah, and one of my first steps is writing this essay. Pramoedya   Ananta   Toer   said, “People may clever as higher the sky, but if he didn't write anything then it will disappear from civilization. Writing is the work of eternity”. So that why I focused to learn how to make the good writing. Earlier we can learn from our Holly AL- Quran,   who teach us to walk around in the world. According to  Surah   Al- Ankabut   verse 20, “Say [O Muhammad], travel the land and observe   how He   began creatio n. Then,   Alloh   will produce the final creatio n. Indeed Alloh,   over all things, is competent.” Beside that I have big dream to go abroad and study in another country. I want to meet another people, know their culture, learn the local wisdom there and feel another season. To realize my dream ...

Kota adalah pengejawantahan artefak urban yang komprehensif, mengakar dan berkait kelindan dengan budaya masyarakat itu sendiri. Semakin besar suatu kota, maka semakin besar pula permasalahan yang dihadapi. Ketimpangan ekonomi yang menganga antara desa dan kota menyebabkan arus deras urbanisasi semakin menyumbang permasalahan kota menjadi kompleks. Munculnya degradasi lingkungan, ketidaktersediaan pemukiman atau perumahan, minimnya ruang publik, diperparah dengan amburadulnya sarana dan prasarana sistem transportasi menyebabkan kota semakin semrawut. Dewasa ini, ada banyak sekali konsep pengembangan kota yang digulirkan dan digaungkan. Mulai dari kota hijau ( green city ), kota pintar ( smart city ), compact city, megacity , kota satelit/baru dan lain-lain. Dari kesemua konsep itu, hal utama yang diinginkan dari sebuah kota adalah kota yang nyaman dan layak huni ( livable city ) untuk semua orang. Senada dengan D.
