Topic 1 
People attend college or university for many different reasons (for example new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge), Why do you think people attend college or university? 


Entrancing college is a culture. According to Koentjaraningrat (1981), culture is a whole system of ideas, actions, and the work of humans in the context of community life that self made man with learning. Here, I state that we attend college due to taken granted by society.

Most of society shape the human to do the “normal” work. The human who did not normal things called abnormal. In my opinion, there are no normal or abnormal. Abnormal called being rejected by society, including family. The example (two SHS students after having graduation), X who continue to take college looks smarter, good, nice, having a bright future. On the contrary, Y who decide to establish workshop looks bad, naughty, messed up, having a bad future. Both of their looks created by system of ideas, actions, and the work (called culture). We feel afraid too much from society perception.

If we throw back our history lives, we feel that we missed a lot of choices. Lacking the authority for our own body and mind to have own choices. It feels like we feel nothing why we supposed to take a class since elementary until university. We have no choice why we throw this routinities along our lives, even we feel f****** boring. We still keep going to continue Junior High School, Senior High School until College without resistance. The only thing we know that it is our duties as children going to school.

So, where is your place? Whether its normal or abnormal, its back depend on your choice :p
