CLIMATE CHANGE AND TERRORISM
I. IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE CLIMATE CHANGE THREAT
Nowadays, climate change is one of the most important issues discussed by people in the world. Climate change is the world’s catastrophe caused by human activity which increases the concentration of greenhouse gasses in the earth’s atmosphere, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel use. This will cause the global average temperature increase, rise in sea level, and altered weather patterns. As the result of global average temperature increase, the oceans absorbs more of this heat, seawater expands and causes a rise in sea levels. Furthermore, there will be a significant impact and many of the most damaging consequences will be associated with the extremes and with altered weather patterns in particular.
In general, the climate change will affect the socio-economic factors, such as the loss of infrastructure, resource scarcity, and mass displacement of people. With most of the world’s cities located on coasts or river deltas, there is a clear threat from this rising sea levels and extreme weather events to human life. At the same time, there will be a greater scarcity of three essential resources: food, water, and energy. This scarcity will be occurring in a world where the global population is expected to increase from today’s six and a half billion to over nine billion by 2050 and this will result the mass displacement of peoples in the world.
II. THREAT IS MORE VISIBLY, CONCRETE, AND MORE DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH
In order to limit the possibility of terrorism act that is caused by the climate change, the Law Enforcement has to better their performance. Nowadays, threat is more visible, concrete, and more difficult to deal. There are some areas that should be considered, such as: demanding enhanced and more border security to limit the infiltration of terrorism act. Since climate change has become the world’s issue, it will erase the country limit and Law Enforcement should be more focus in anticipating this matter. Climate change threat is therefore, becoming an increasingly important part of international relations. Furthermore, the concrete and visible threat is going to occur in all over the world, for example, there is some evidence that in some current conflicts, they were caused by the drought and the resultant lack of water supplies. That concrete and visible threat is now become our responsibility to manage the better world and if we are not doing it, so that matter is going to be more difficult to be handled.
III. MAYBE UTILIZE BY TERRORISTS TO PROMOTE EXTRIMISIM/ MOUNT ATTACK
Those threats will be related tightly to the security consequences. Threat which comes from the result of climate change has a devastating impact to all people in the world. For example, if responses to the aftermath of the natural disasters are inadequate, then people may begin to lose confidence in the government’s ability to protect them and this may cause a breakdown in trust between the government and general public if government reaction is not enough to fulfill people’s needs. Furthermore, it will raise a protest aimed at governments over inadequate policy changes or aimed at corporations over environmental damage and it will increase the possibility for those who will apply violence and sabotage. Moreover, this situation can be easily infiltrated by the terrorists to do their terrorism act. So that is why climate-related factors could play an important role in triggering or prolonging conflict and the risks of climate change demand a rethink of approaches to security.

LOYALTY AND TRUTH
I think it greatly depends on the situation, the context. I mean, what is loyalty? Is it staying to someone, however this someone behaves? Loyalty comes into play, when you think you have to stand by someone even if you don't approve of him or his actions. Another part is perhaps, as an example, to be a factor in the decision whom to support. Like in the question whom to help, rather your family, or a stranger, normally you would choose your family (if you have no clash with them) and one other thing coming to my mind: I think loyalty gets suspicious, if the target of your loyalty thinks he has to remind you of it. I mean, If you get explicitly remembered of "where your loyalty lies", even if you didn't do anything wrong beforehand, I would really question the intents of that person and loyalty doesn't always have to be obedience to the wishes of the target of your loyalty.
There are some cases that we can pick as examples, those examples are: Doctor/patient confidentiality brings up both loyalty (confidence) and honesty (truthful diagnoses, revelations of illness, etc.). Attorney/client privilege brings this up. Does a lawyer's loyalty to her client require her to be dishonest in the courtroom? Does a lawyer's requirement to be honest in the courtroom require her to be disloyal to her client? Parent/child protection is another. Do some of the lies that parents sometimes tell their children constitute (in part) loyalty? Does demonstrating familial solidarity excuse not being completely honest? Should a prisoner of war remain loyal to his country or be honest in an interrogation?
In the lawyer-client case, that "loyalty" is explicit in a contract (they supposedly can’t do/say anything that would incriminate their client), so they are kind of excused for being untruthful.
In the parent-child case they don’t mean to perpetuate that lie, just to postpone the truth until the kid is mature enough to understand it because they believe that it would be detrimental to them knowing the truth before that (this rests in such belief, if they knew that its not bad for them to know it, they would tell them the truth).
The soldier should have considered the possibility of that happening when he promised loyalty, if he was honest in the first place then there is no conflict and he will stay loyal, if not, I think it will goes to the other side. We know that for soldiers they have to obey and serve their country. We have the term “right or wrong is my country” and we will apply it in all situation.
Based on the examples above, we still face a cross opinion regarding loyalty and truth. But, personally I will choose loyalty above everything because truth is something that can be manipulated but when you are loyal I think it is going to be last forever.

SMACK DOWN
yoo dudes..i got a story for you today..when i read my FHM, i saw John Cena's interview with FHM. when i saw through the background, i found it was interesting because there're so many children seeing smackdown..well there're some adults too (i mean "very old adult"). guys, when i compare to indonesia, i find it a lil bit scarry because many children in indonesia try to copy that kind of actions. what make of this? eduaction stuff? parents stuff? or inside stuff (hmm..sounds basketball)? i think they're connected to each other. tvs have regulations that have to be followed, they are strict and mean, so i think that tvs won't easily broadcast rough programs. parents should give an understanding to children that WWF (oops not panda with muscles) is a cabaret with muscles and fake blood. teachers should play their part too, they should give an image with knowledge (oops certification problems), and children should think wisely (oops do children in Indonesia have this?) come on guys, let's bring indonesia to the better future..

SOOPER GOONNER
Gee day mate..i'm lil bit sleepy today, but fortunately it didn't ruin my teaching this morning..last night (december 21, 2008) i saw Arsenal's match, it was lil bit creepy finding that Arsenal was gaining 1-1 draw against liverpool. before i continue the sad story about last night's match, i'm going to tell you about why i love Arsenal so much. at the beginning, i started watching liverpool players in the field like John Barnes and Rush, and i began to like them. but it turned out when my dad went to London and bought me Arsenal scarf. i was curious at that time because i'd never heard about Arsenal before. when i saw the Arsenal's match on tv, i found that Arsenal held a superb play at that time. suddenly, i realized that liverpool didn't fit on me. now i'm holding the responsibility as Arsenal Indonesia Supporters Semarang's Secretary. one reason (two actually) why i like Arsenal is the elegant (and beautiful) play shown by the gunners. some critics say that they are not showing a simple game, but i think that result is the goal. to win is that we aim for, right dudes? furthermore, Arsenal have a blazing spirit, they armed themselves with some restless teenagers who dying for victories. for me as a young and energetic person (hah), it can be a reflection to myself. Arsenal sometimes play bad, but do we have to conclude that being young means inconsitency? is there something wrong with my Arsenal? or is it just a kind of mismanagement? we have to dig deeper about this stuff. i myself always have a reflection about something that i've done so far. i think Arsenal realize that, although there are some frictions among members, but i think they play with heart...so if i take this into my life account, i realize that i should do my life with heart..(i'm pretending to be wise haha)..cherio
