Comparing Movie Experiences: Cinema vs Home Streaming

Image
  By Saskia Putri Ananda Silalahi (1209624036) When we have free time, people usually engage in enjoyable activities, and watching movies is one of the most popular ones. To enjoy all the movies, people can choose two ways: watching movies in the cinema or streaming at home . Both offer entertainment in the form of engaging visual stories that can be enjoyed alone or with others, and both also serve as a means of relaxation, as people usually watch movies to relieve stress.  Watching a movie in a cinema and streaming it at home offer different experiences in terms of atmosphere and technical quality. Watching a movie in a cinema provides a more immersive experience, with a large screen, HD film quality, superior sound system, and a quiet, dark environment that allows the audience to fully engage with the storyline. However, watching a movie in a cinema is not flexible, as it requires adjusting to the screening schedule, buying tickets for each movie, and allocating extra time ...

Image
  By Saskia Putri Ananda Silalahi (1209624036) Choosing a school can be categorised into two types, such as public school and private school . To choose between these two types of schools, several important factors must also be considered, such as accreditation, environment, and learning system. Both types of schools also have similarities and differences that can be considered when choosing one that suits your needs and interests. The similarities can be seen in the goals of both schools, which are to provide quality education to students, and both also employ qualified teachers in delivering lessons. Both schools also have some differences, such as in terms of costs and funding. Public schools tend to be cheaper and are mostly funded by the government, whereas private schools charge higher fees because they are run by a foundation or individual, and for this reason, private schools generally offer better resources and facilities.   Another difference can also be seen in t...

Feeling More Energetic Can Be Caused By Exercising Regularly

Image
  By Zakia Rahmah Azalia (1209624113) Exercising regularly can make people feel more energetic in their daily lives. When someone exercises, their body moves and their heart pumps more blood. This helps send more oxygen to the muscles and brain, which gives the body more power to do daily activities. In the beginning, people will feel tired right after a workout, but eventually, they will feel refreshed because regular exercise helps the body become stronger and healthier. Exercise also helps people sleep better at night. Good sleep is important for energy during the day. When people sleep well, they wake up feeling fresh and ready to work or study. And working out can reduce stress. When someone is less stressed, they feel lighter and more focused. This will also help them feel more active and positive. The other reason why exercise gives people more stamina is that training builds good habits. People who work out often drink more water, eat healthy food, and take better care o...

Skipping Classes Will Make You Fall Behind in Lessons

Image
By Zakia Rahmah Azalia (1209624113) Skipping classes can cause many problems for students, and one of the biggest effects is falling behind in lessons. When students miss their class, they will lose their chance to listen to the teacher's explanation and ask questions. The teacher may also give examples, notes, or tips that are not found in the book. If students are not in class, they won’t receive this helpful information. They will also miss group work, class discussions, or practice activities that help them understand the material better. Skipping class can also cause the students to miss quizzes and assignments that the teacher gives them. This can lead to poor grades and stress. When students try to catch up on the material, they will often feel confused because they didn’t know the basics of the material. If this happens too many times, they may lose their motivation to study the material. Some students even feel embarrassed to ask for help because they are so far behind and...

The Rise of Fake News

Image
By Alya Siti Wahyuni (1209624106)   News is now easily accessible to anyone with the existence of TV and social media; unfortunately, not every news broadcaster is telling the truth as it is. In fact, there has been a rise of fake news circulating among countless others, making it difficult to tell which is telling the truth and which one is not. The spread of fake news online in Indonesia has become a significant challenge, especially given the country's vast social media user base and relatively low digital literacy. This problem intensifies during election periods, as political falsehoods surged by 61% before the 2024 general elections, often targeting sensitive issues like racial and religious harmony, which as a result causes a crack in public and risks a major social problem such as conflict between people from different groups. To address this, the Indonesian government has taken proactive steps. The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (KOMINFO) established...

One of the most popular gaming platforms for all ages, called “Roblox” has around 88.9 million daily active users worldwide and is popular among children due to its variety of games and a multiplayer feature where they can connect with other people and play together.
