style zaman now

Ya, selfie atau yang dulu kita kenal dengan narsis adalah istilah baru yang kini sedang digandrungi banyak orang, utamanya kaum muda di negeri kita ini. Foto selfie biasanya dilakukan seseorang untuk menunjukkan dirinya, semisal kecantikan, ketampanan, kebersamaan, ataupun kegilaan. Hanya untuk sekedar bersenang-senang dan sebagai kenang-kenangan agar tidak kehilangan momen berharga bersama sahabat maupun kerabat. Biasanya, foto diambil dari jarak dekat, sehingga berfokus ke wajah saja.
Siapa sih, yang tidak tahu selfieapalagi kita termasuk ke dalam orang-orang yang biasa atau setidaknya pernah berfoto gaya selfie ini.
Nah, biasanya foto-foto jenis ini tidak pernah absen menghiasi sosial media semacam facebook, twitter, path, BBM, instagram, dan sejenisnya. Dari foto ekspresi wajar, sampai yang berani gila-gilaan sehingga terkadang bukannya terlihat bagus malah membuat kita ilfeelmelihatnya. Tapi itu wajar, tidak satu dua orang saja yang melakukannya.
Tidak hanya kaum alay saja yang melakoninya, namun juga anak-anak gaul dan kalangan atas. Tentunya dengan versi yang berbeda. Masalah umur? Mmm… Nampaknya sudah merambah ke segala usia, mulai dari anak kecil sampai orang dewasa sekalipun.
Tak bisa dimungkiri memang, perkembangan zaman menuntut kita untuk sadar ataupun tidak, mengikuti trend-trend tersebut. Entah siapa yang memulai memakai istilah ini.

Batak is thought to be a descendent of the Pallava and Old Kawi scripts, which ultimately were derived from the  Brahmi  script of ancient India. Or it might be a descendent of a hypothetical Proto-Sumatran script, with Pallava influences. After Europeans - first German missionaries, then the Dutch - began visiting Batak-speaking areas from 1878 the Batak script was taught in schools, along with the Roman alphabet, and teaching and religious material was published in the script. Not long after the First World War missionaries decided to stop using the Batak script in books. Since then the script has been used mainly for decoration purposes.

Plato's Pedagogy

Plato distinguishes between education as pedagogy—the art of teaching—and the desire for learning. As far as education is concerned, truth ( alētheia ) is unveiled in a three-step process. First, there is the example of the person whose soul boldly faces the sun, and to whom truth addresses itself. This person has no difficulty ascertaining the Good. This individual is a self-motivated seeker of truth. This mode of self-awareness is intuitive. Secondly, there is the person who has their back turned to the “light,” and who, as a consequence, requires education to make them “see.” It is probably correct to assume that this is where Socrates’ analogy of philosophy as a midwife is best exemplified. Thirdly, there is the person who, for as long as they live, will remain a voluntary prisoner in the darkness of the cave. For such a person, education will merely amount to training. This is the rationally blind person who cannot be helped, because no one can furnish his eyes with sight. Know...
