Oct 24 2012: Hi.. my name is Valentina and I live in Indonesia... Regarding the corruption problems in the Indonesian's Government, so there is an institution that called KPK ( Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi or Comission of Corruption Eradication) to solve the problems.
In my opinion, corruption is one thing that related to a moral, so it depends on the moral of person itself. Even an honest person, if he/she does not have a tough will to refuse this bad habit in the system that corruption manner is already there, for sometime this person will be drowned to the system.
Sep 12 2012: it depends on what you are believed. As an Asian person, I do believe that faith is rational minded because the faith have been applied since childhood. I believe that God created first human Adam and Eve not in a short time. That is why the evolution teory by Charles Darwin founded that there was an ancient human before homo sapiens. God needs time to make the human becomes perfect. I mix my faith with the classical history so the faith becomes rational.
Sep 10 2012: I read the case at yahoo news a few months ago, it was about the young boy who founded at the house dog. He is 6 yo and based on their neighbourhood story, the boy's parents past away when he was 2 yo. Since that occasion, the boy refused to live in the orphan house. In his mind, its better to live with his dogs. He eats like a dog, walking like a dog, even he was barking every person who wants to get closer to him. The point is that each part of his life adopted from the way of the dogs life. But now, under the social department of... (i forget the country is) he does like a human being. he try to eat with spoon, he try to learn how to speak in human language, etc. It means that animal or human will going back to who they are.
Sep 10 2012: Based on my country experience, automation lead the economics in to reccession. But I am still considering about the automation, if Indonesia can implement the system because the weather in Indonesia is becoming drought and the farmers feel loss becauase their farmland doesnt give a contribution anymore. So... fifty-fifty...
Sep 10 2012: For me personally, Indonesia is developing country and mostly the land use in Indonesia are agriculture, forest and palm estate. Indonesia got economics recession at 1997 because the government was trying to change from agriculture system into industry system. The government did not prepare well for the basic need such as the human resources. Indonesia is wealthy country for their natural resources, unfortunately the human resources really need to be more workout, so it will make them more competent. I mean that for the developing country like Indonesia, the automation will lead to economic collapse if the basic need are not strong enough. Thank you.
