yeni dwi: museum sumpah pemuda

These are the pictures I took when I was doing general rehearsal for the 79th of Sumpah Pemuda. From this, I learned that there were so many things we have forgotten about the history of our country. On the other hand, we were lost, because the history has been misguided to the public, for a certain political purpose. I remember memorizing history for my exam when I was at elementary school, I tried so hard to stay awake at midnight.But now, to look at the historical museum, I have just realize, those memorizing task we had to do when we were a kid and at school, did not mean a thing since we were never been taught the value and the philosophy of our forefathers, and all the reason why they fought for this nation. I think, history is not only to be memorized, it has to be understood. Educational program must not be based on physical activity only, such as memorizing, but the important thing is to understand a deeper layer of the history, which is the value of this country.The value which our forefathers have stands for, the value which our forefathers had fought for. This value defines a country. This value defines our culture in this global world, this value differentiate one country to another. This value defines our position in this world.
