There is gold behind that silence.
Ohhh I don't know why I wrote that sentence. Yup, maybe it inspires by the saying "silence is gold" yes is it. 
Here, I want to write something based on that gold side. 
What do I mean by that sentence?

Have you ever seen a person who is really silent, like he/she is so quiet. He/she keeps on his/her silence. Do we know exactly what is in his/her mind? No, we don't?
What will we guest? 
He/she is an introvert person?
He/she knows nothing?
He/she knows everything?
He/she is so cool? 
I usually listen a teacher in a class if the class being so quiet, "I don't why do you guys keep silent. I don't know whether you keep silent because of you understand or you don't understand" hahahah. Right? But, In this case... no Ms, we keep silent because we are waiting for break time. HAHAHAH.

Back to the topic!

Shaolan is the girl who was growing up in taiwan by her parent who are a calligrapher. She said that one of the most treasured memories of her life was her mother showing her the beauty, the shape and the form of chinese characters. Since then, she was fascinated by this incredible language. Since she was five, she started to learn drawing every single stroke for each character in the correct sequence. She learned new charactes every day during the course of the next 15 years.

A Chinese scholar would understand 20,000 characters. You only need 1,000 to understand the basic literacy. The top 200 will allow you to comprehend 40 percent of basic literature -- enough to read road signs, restaurant menus, to understand the basic idea of the web pages or the newspapers. Telling that chinese’s language has a lot of characters to remember.


She was going to tell and teach the audience how to make it simpler and easier to understand, exactly by doing several things that involved our kinds of daily life experince. Then, she started to model how she used her brain to remember the very simple 8 characters that will help you to remember and understand the basic chinese. After explaining all of the mothods, she stopped the presentation with a very cool slide in chinese which is telling about the word that reminds the audience and her that she should stop talking and getting out of the stage “exit”.

WHAT A GOOD TALK!

that's the first impression I have on me when I finished watching this short ted talk's video.

Jamil Lyiscott is an articulate. yup, the one who able to express idea clearly and effectively in speech or writing. the definition from meriam-webster.

I believe that all of you think that this video is going to show us the way to learn speak english like many people did. just like me, same! i thought the  same way. I think she's going to tell there were threre ways to speak english and she's going to tell step by step. but i'm totally wrong! pardon me, haha.

but hey, maybe we don't realize that we speak english in very comman way. while there are many ways to tell something.

It is called linguistic celebration. for example three ways of saying hello:
what's good
what's up
and
hello.

Jamila said that she is articulate and she thought about who control the articulating.
because the english language is multifaceted oration, subject to indefinite transformation.

we think it's ignorant to speak broken english, and hey Jamila said that even articulate americans sound foolish to british.

but here I want to tell you, we can speak in many ways and lets celebrate the linguistic!

cheers.

Texting is a scourge, people said. They believed that texting is the fall of serious literacy among young people in the United States, even the world today. But actually, texting is a miraculous thing. Basically, we think about language, that has existed for at least 80.000 years. Talking is the way we used language the most. Writing is something that came along much later and we don’t know exactly when that happened. So, the first one is speech and after that, writing comes along.
Writing has certain advantages, such as, you can do things with language that are much less likely if you’re just talking. For example, look at a passage by Edward Gibbon, “The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” . That’s a beautiful passage, but no one talks that way. We used casual speech instead of the formal one in our daily.

You can speak like you writing. For example when someone give a speech, they became formal. That’s what people did then, speaking like writing. But after that, you also want to write like you speak. And then there was manual typewriter, electric typewriter and now we have computer keyboard. You can type easily to keep up the pace of speech and later you have to have someone to  receive your message quickly. We have smartphones. This allows us to write like we speak.  And that’s when texting comes in. But texting is very loose in its structure, no one cares about the capital letters or punctuation. But, you also don’t care about that when you speak.

So, texting is fingered speech. We write the way we talk. But we see this general bagginess of the structure and lack of concern with rules, and then we feels something is wrong. In this new kind of language, there is new structures coming up. For example, the word LOL which means “Laughing Out Loud” theoretically, but actually no one’s laughing.

Another example is slash (/). We used it in the lines of “We’re going to have a party /(slash) networking sessions”. But now, young people used it to change the scene or the topic of conversation. But in real life, there are ways to do it gracefully. You can’t do that when you’re texting.

So, texting these days is the new way of writing that young people are developing. Texting also is evidence of a balancing art that young people do. It’s an expansion of their linguistic repertoire.

In 1931, her granny graduated from the 8th grade. went to school to get the information in the book and teacher's idea. her granny need to go there to get the information. her father also went to school to get the information from the teacher and save the memory in his head.
When Diana was a kid, she did not need to go library because the information was in her Ensyclopedia.

but, now generation is different as internet is tool of education.

Diana is a teacher. she went to Kansas (small town) to teach American government in second year. she need to change the strategy in teaching because the students do not interested. she gave the authentic experience where they learn by them ownself. she gave the problem, she didn't tell them what to do but students did it!
from Kansas to Arizona, she taught geography in Flagstaff middle school students. she taught by the real example of someone's life. from Arizona, the point is when we ask the students to use their voices to speak to their self. for them, it is impact of other people in positive way when we asked and take time to listen and it is amazing.
shea laso taught in Pennsylvania and In philadelphian.
from one school to another school she ever taught, she leaned!

and the main point is, if we look at education as if it is about coming to school to get the information not about exeperienced the learning process and teacher do not empowering the students's voice and embracing failure, then we're missing the mark!

from the mistakes we can know and learn what to do next!

we should have the value and good qualities in education and do better!

So, first let me tell you something…
In college, i  found those who are really good. Those whom i never expect that i can hangout with. HAHAHA. 
We became closer since we always come and stay in *Edu-USA in our free time. Me and 2 my best in college *seulanga starkers always come to edu since at first we found that place is really cozy. As we need to go there to discuss something (A failed party) wkwk. But we can’t stop these feet to go to edu till nowdays of college. Xoxo
Yup, then we meet those who are really good (i told you before). We felt close, then rahmah made group for us. Tubelnas edu-stands for TukangBeliNasi, means that this group made to ask someone to buy food for lunch. Hahaha, name was given by ka una. We are 9, 5 are my seniors, 1 is my junior, and 2 are my budds-classmates.
Btw, a really not important point you should know is that group is always got me to be in, the chat is always on. Wkwk

Back to the story,
So, as always… in edu-USA (haha) one evening…
I was sitting beside a small table, there was also some of tubelnas members and our others friends. It’s evening already, suddenly bg ilham #mr.president said that “why do'nt we go to the beach?” (If i’m not mistaken). Then i continued by something excited and asked everybody to go. Even at first there was an arguing, but then everybody agreed to go ulhe-lhee to catch sunset. We went there also with some our others friend. 
Finally, we went there and enjoyed the moment 🌅
I took a pict before the sun was setting. Xoxo

Yup, was really happy. Thankyou guys. 
Xoxo

A Tourette Syndrome sufferer who hated school while growing up strives to become the teacher he never had in this inspirational Hallmark Hall of Fame drama. As a young boy, Brad began making off noises - impulsive noises that were impossible to suppress. As a result, Brad was tormented by his classmates, and accused by his teachers of intentionally disrupting class. It wasn't long before Brad started to hate school, but then an understanding principal offered just the kind of encouragement the struggling boy needed to turn his life around. Thanks to the good will of one sympathetic educator, Brad decided to become the kind of teacher who favored patience and kindness over authority and control. After being rejected by twenty-four schools, Brad was finally given the opportunity to prove his true worth as a teacher. This is the story of a man who relied on resilience and determination to get through life, and who devoted his existence to helping others like him overcome incredible odds.
the film portrayed a highly accurate depiction of a person going through life with Tourette’s Syndrome.  Typical challenges are presented along with common Brad Cohen, a young man with Tourette’s Syndrome (TS), dreams of a career in teaching.  But, as a child, kids teased him and adults scolded him for his outbursts and tics.  Despite the poor understanding of his condition by most and his father’s lack of acceptance Brad is determined to be a teacher.  When he gets a chance to be a second grade teacher he can finally teach others about TS and show he’s got what it takes to be teacher of the year. Mainstream reactions in response to the disorder.

I think when he was just a child he can’t use a proper language to explain what disorder that he had because he himself didn’t know it either. His father though that it was a mental sickness and didn’t what to do about it. But after the school try to understand and accept him step by step everybody can really understand and know to deal with him. Because he is finally know how to communicate with others and make them understand about his condition. He is confident to say about it and asking for help to make him easier to study at school. Although united states is a high context culture but everyone is really understand about his condition means there is a low context culture too. Because there is no culture that completely high-context or low-context, since all societies contain at least some parts that are both high and low. Because the principal after all want to hear and understand about his condition and give him a same chance like others to get study and anything else. This family friendly film is appropriate for all ages to watch and serves as an excellent educational resource.

Being as a volunteer is one of the happiest thing we do as we help people and try to make something better. here, I want to share a lillte bit how is the background that my community Rumput Liar came to BlangKrueng.
Blang Krueng is one of the secluded villages in Aceh Besar, Aceh - Indonesia. Blang Krueng also one conflict areas during 1996 – 2004. There are about 2,600 residents in Blang Krueng. Because of some factors, education in Blangkrueng little behind. Rumput Liar Community came to Blangkrueng to introduce Blangkrueng as a smart village.
In July 2015, I came back to Blangkrueng to interview Blang Krueng village secretary , he said that Blang Krueng have big ambition in education. After conflict was ended in 2005, the mind set of Blang Krueng’s citizen have begun to open and they have big ambition for education. Many children who were victims of the conflict were not go to school and now they've grown. They grown up and they married then have children. They don’t want what happened with them happen for their children. So, now children in blangkrueng go to school but they go to school just for formality because it’s an obligation. children go to school but they can’t accomplish their school stuff such as book, etc. why? It’s because parents don’t have enough income. 80% of Blang Krueng citizens are low economic level. When they have money, they will think about food and housing. They go to school, but in Blang Krueng there is no facilititation that can support them for their school such as a place to read or borrow books. And, there is no role model for children in Blang Krueng that can give them an example or spirit. Because of these factors, me and the others Rumput Liar volunteers came to Blangkrueng to make fun learning class and held some other event, such as world water day, one book, one experience.

In August 2015, I went to Japan as Indonesia represntative in Asia Youth Summit. I was represented our project in Blangkrueng.

Something reminds me about Ahok case.
Hehee
I remember that I ever heard there are a lot of people said that "He is a good person, He is the best governor. His work is real"
Honestly I was into that kind of sentences. I thought a lot about that. I even was afraid, I was afraid "am I too liberal?" 
I also remember when that case was too hot in every corner of Indonesia. And My dad, He is that kind of person who always watches politic news of Indonesia. He always keeps up with the news channel.
One day, I was watching one of news channel with my day. And they were talking about Ahok and family on that show. I had a discussion with my day, I forgot the detail but I remembered my day was a lil bit contrast with me. Ended up with my dad told me about what aa gym said according to Ahok case.
 I was so defensive, I remeber it was because I watched one show that interviewed the wives of governors candidates. There was Annisa Pohan and Istri Ahok. I watched it seriously, and listened to both of them when they answered the questions. I saw that istri Ahok is the one. She's just good the way they sheh answered the questions besides she had a good answered.
The other reason was also because I watched Ahok videos on YouTube a lot. I remeber I followed the court and after watching the court I saw his videos on YouTube, I watched a video when he had an interview in a talkshow. And I watched his work as a governor.
And yes, I will say he is a good governor fot Jakarta.
Back then to when I has a discussion with my dad...
I even still on my side, I explained to my dad what I watched. 
And ended up with us talking about the religion
And hey....
Yup, I like to think a lot... honestly I like to have a discussion a lot.
And, I was saying my arguments based on one side. Time by time I always like to have a discussion about this. And in any cases, we can not view something only with one said.
Till I realized....
That...
This case of Ahok is NOT ABOUT WHAT HE IS DOING AS A GOVERNOR.
I watched a lot about this case, when billion of Indonesian came together to ask for the justice. They did not wrong. They came for their religion. Hey, their religion was being insulted!
And here, with my thoughts. I was saying,
Ahok is a really good governor for Jakarta, but hereeee THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH HIS WORK BUT WHAT HE WAS SAYING toward Islam.

To the people who came for Ahok, you guys did not wrong to defend him. But what I want to tell is...
We, me myself blame him because of his work as governor. He is totally good.
Ya, I would say maybe that was not what he mean to say that. 
And I know, some people will cone and say "but the punishment is not comparable with what he gave to Jakarta"
.
.
Religious thing is a sensitive thing...
Let the law shows the justice!

One lesson is, be careful with our mouth! #notetoself

And Pak Ahok, Thankyou for everything you've done to our capital!

Cheers,
Xoo

I've learned Communication Management in college. And thinking about self concept. as we know that crazy people will do anything that they want. so, is there any self concept within them ectually?
 Self-concept is the set of stable ideas a person has about who he or she is; also known as identity. The "self-concept," on the other hand, is a product of this reflexive activity. It is the concepthe individual has of himself as a physical, social, and spiritual or moral being. Rosenberg defines the self-concept broadly as "the totality of an individual's thoughts and feelings having reference to himself as an object" (1979:7). Similarly broad is Snygg & Combs's statement that "the phenomenal self includes all those parts of the phenomenal field which the individual experiences as part or characteristic of himself" (1949:58).
I explained more what self-concept is and I go with idea that self-concept  is a concept we make to our ownself.
After that, I asked my sister who is now being a co assisstent doctor in hospital and she passed the soul stase where she was being co-ass in RSJ *I don’t know what it is called*. I asked her how exactly crazy people is, I came with an explanation about self-concept and asked whether crazy people have it or not. The answere I got is yes. She said that crazy people have their self-concept. But the problem is the concept they make is too over or beyond the line, because of that they become crazy. For Example, someone make a concept that he is a billionaire while in his real life he is a jobless  person. Because his wish and the reality is not the same then he becomes crazy.

Based on the explantion what self-concept is from the experts and based on the case, yes there is a self-concept within crazy people.

Every country in this universe has its own uniqueness that can attract people to visit,  one of them  is Jordan. Furthemore, every country has its own history to be remembered. So does Jordan. A brief history you should know before visit Jordan, following World War I and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, the Leagued of  Nations awarded Britain  the mandate to govern much of the Middle East. Britain demarcated a semi-autonomous region of Transjordan from Palestine in the early 1920s. The area ganied its independence in 1946 and thereafter became The Hashmite Kingdom of Jordan. The country ‘s long-time ruler, King  Hussein (1953-99), successfully navigated competing pressures from the major powers  (US, USSR, and UK), Varios Arab states, Israel, and a large internal palestinian populations. Jordan lost the West Bank to Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War. King Hussein in 1988 permanently relinquieshed Jordanian claims to the Wast Bank, in 1994 he signed a peace treaty with Israel. King Abdallah II, King Hussein’s eldest son, assumed the throne following his father death in 1999. He implemented modest political and economic reforms, but in the wake of the 2011 “Arab Revolution” across the Middle East, Jordanians continue to press for further political liberalization, government reforms, and economic improvements. Jordan held a nonpermanent seat on the UN security Council for the 2014-2015 term.
Located at the crossroads of Asia, Africa, and Europe, Jordan is an Arab kingdom in Western Asia, on the East Bank of the Jordan River. Jordan is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the east and south, Iraq to the north-east, Syiria to the north, Israel, Palestine and the Dead Sea to the west and Red Sea in its extreme south-west. Its capital, Amman, is Jordan’s most populous city as well  as the country’s economic, political, and cultural centre. As its place located strategically, there some reason reason why you should visit Jordan.
First, the best reason to visit Jordan is without no doubt the most well known. To tour the incredible city of Petra. When you decide to do the Petra night tour, hundreds of candles illuminating the mile through the siq, culminating with a fully lit up treasury definitely goes down in history. However, there’s so much more. You can easily spend a week hiking through Petra. If you exeperience this, you will say Jordan is amazing over and over again.
Second, the amazing Jordanians. You must be meet nice people wherever you go, but both times you visit Jordan, you will be impressed with the extreme kindness and generosity of the Jordanians. There are few places around the world where the citizens are as warm and hospitable as they are here. Without exaggeration, everyone you meet will first try to feed you and then try to help make sure you are enjoying yourself as much as possible.
Third, Wadi Rum. One of the highlights of any trip to Jordan is spending time in the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage recognized desert of Wadi Rum. This area has been used for thousands of years, from ancient traders to Lawrence of Arabia. Today tourists are the ones following the ancient paths through the bright orange sand, to marvel at the bizarrely beautiful landscapes found around the region. Wadi Rum is often used in movies as a stand in for the moon or Mars and with good reason, the landscape is decidedly alien. The best way to experience Wadi Rum is by staying at one of the luxury tented Bedouin camps and then joining them for daily activities in the desert. The camp is a big part of the experience and there’s nothing like sitting by the fire, enjoying a delicious meal and listening to beautiful Bedouin ballads being played by expert musicians. With a canopy of stars overhead, there’s nothing better.
Fourth,  Dana Biosphere Reserve and the Feynan Ecolodge. You might be surprised to learn that Jordan is home to one of the top ecolodges in the world, the Feynan Ecolodge. Built in the massive and gorgeous Dana Biosphere Reserve, the resort is completely off the grid and generates its own power for everything from hot water to nightlights. Getting there is half the fun though and many guests elect to hike a strenuous 16-kilometer trail through the reserve to Feynan. It’s one of those things everyone should try once and is the perfect introduction to the philosophy behind Feynan itself.
Fifth, Experience the sensation of floating in the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is the saltiest body of water on Earth. It’s also the lowest point on Earth. If this information is not enough to get you excited about visiting, how about the fact that because of its extremely high salt content when you get in the water you actually  float. Actually, that is how it got its name. There are so much salt, nothing can live in the water, hence the name, the Dead Sea. However, you should experience this when you visit Jordan.
Sixth, get as close to Mars as possible on Earth. Have you ever wonder what it would feel like to walk on the surface of Mars? I’m pretty sure it would be alot like walking through the desert canyons of Wadi Rum. One important information on this part is that almost any movies that you have seen  about Mars had at least some of its scenes filmed in this region of Jordan as i told you in the third reason. You can imagine what it would be like to fall from the sky over  a ginat red rock that is completely different from anything you have seen in the states. That is what you will able to do. If you consider to visit, try this and you will not regret.
Seventh, world class street cafes. As I told before that Amman, the capital city of Jordan, is the centre of many aspects. Amman will not dissapoint you, the first thing you can do after arriving in Amman is pop into a street side cafes. In waiters of the cafes are so friendly. Sitting in street cafes is one of the best ways you can do to see what a city is all about. Whether it’s talking with people around you or simply watching the routines and tranditions of those around you. Here, you can find spot to hangout for an hour and simply enjoy your surroundings.
Ninth, experiences the Middle East without the danger. Some of us might hear on the news about how dangerous it is in Jordan. But, do you know the reality? It is pretty dangerous over some places in Middle East, but it’s not in Jordan. Jordan is a bit safe from the violence that news spread out about. Jordan is on friendly terms with everyone that surrounds them, making it the safest destination to travel to in Middle East. Tourists who experienced there will say that they never feel unsafe, and in fact they feel much more comfortable. So, if this has been a concern for you and your reason why you have not ventured out into that part of the world, you should definetely reconsider your reason.
Jordan is truly one of amazing countries on Earth. It has its own uniqueness which obviously can attract people to come and visit. So many reasons why you should visit Jordan. Once you visit and experience all the little things in Jordan, you will not regret and want to come back over and over again.

First of all, i want to say thanks god because i was one of Asia Youth summit participants. I want to thanks everybody who support me and help me till i could hit that amazing program. I want to thank my family, my adviser, sensei sarah and miss desi, bang satria and kak bunga, my Rumput Liar buddies, and everyone who  involved. Sorry i can’t mention it one by one.
Arrived in amazing place as a participant of amazing program, i am blessed. I met such amazing people from all over Asia. I came as a representative from Aceh, Indonesia to present my project “Fun Library”. I had the best experiences in Japan, I got many lessons that i could not thank enough.
The program started on the second day in BI-I, all the participants presented their project. The presentation program spent 2 days.  We spent the rest in Nara. We did all the good things. From group discussion, field study, visited school and university, farewell party till city tour. Never my time wasted useless during the program.
Every participants had different program which will be discussed  in group discussion. Mine is Fun Library which focus on Education. We did so many group discussions,  until in the end of so many group discussion that we did we found the same big problem from all of our project problem that is “UNAWARENESS”.  The group discussion was quiet amazing.  During the discussions every group was also helped by facilitator. The result of the group discussion is that we are as the participants get to know how to solve that big problem. By knowing is not enough, we need to apply it into our project so that it runs well and hit the goals.
Since we know that  the big problem is UNAWARENESS, we try to apply all of the solution to our own project-problem. How to make the community aware with all of the problems in their surrounding. How to make the community realize that they need to care a lot about their surrounding because it’s for their own good and the next generation.
After the program was over, all the participants came back to their own country. And, i came back to my hometown, Aceh, Indonesia. Arrived home with all new lessons that i got from the program. I tried to open my notebook and discuss with my Rumput Liar buddies about our project, what  we need to do. I told them about group discussion that i did in Japan with AYS participants from all around Asia. We listed things we need to do. Even our project already going on, as a role model  we need to give more to the village to build that awareness.  
At first, we tried to collect more books for children in BlangKrueng. We were lucky because so many good people in this amazing world. So many donatur that sent various books, not only from Aceh but also outside the town. The children are really happy so many books are added to the library. Books that we focus on are truly books for childre such as books that have pictures inside that can attrack them to read, like encyclopaedia, etc. Based on the project that i presented in AYS program, we made fun library. We also catched their attention to read with what make them happy that is toys. We tried to reliable with rules that we made which every child who wants to play toys, she or he need ro read book first. By doing this, we really hope that it can build children awareness about reading book. We need to make children aware that reading book is important.
Second, children are need role models. As we know that children will do what they see. One of problem of children in BlangKrueng is they don’t have role model that can they look to build their awareness of reading book because of some problem in the community. So, we are volunteer from Rumput Liar came to be role model for them. We are the young generation that really care about future of this nation are really want to do something. We came to BlangKrueng twice a week to teach them math and english. We were not only teach them about the materials of the lesson but also to give them inspiration. 

In short, i’m blessed to be part of amazing AYS program that can give me so many lessons which i can share with my friends in my community Rumput Liar. We really hope our program are really useful that can build children in BlangKrueng AWARENESS of reading book. We hope that day by day they start to aware that reading book in important and it is needed, we also hope they get a lot of inspiration to create their amazing future.

 There are a number of definitions about globalization from many perspectives. According to  Waters (2002), globalization is a social  process in which the constraints of geography on social and cultural arrangements recede and in which  people  become increasingly aware  that they are receding. Globalization can be defined as a process of integration local characteristics into global flows which are mostly done by means of new communication and information technologies. As we fell and see that the affects of globalization itself that influence our communication and technologies. Furthermore, nowdays the way people communnicate each other is global, how they could communicate so fast form different place just because the technologies and that is the effect of globalizations. Globalization also can be seen in the field of economy and how it changes the process. It is historically seen as a process integrating local economies into the world economy; it seems to refer to a space where the global and local interact, and the means of interaction is information and communication technologies (Tapper, 2000, p.524). It refers to the increasing integration of economies around the world, particularly through trade and financial flows. The term sometimes also refers to the movement of people (labor) and knowledge (technology) across international borders (International Monetary fund, 2002). Giddens (1990) describes globalization as the rapid development in communication technology, information, and transport which bring the remotest parts of the world within easy reach.  As we see and fell the changed itself.
   Moreover,  Its aspects in many terms influence many things in the world. So does into the society. Muslim society, as the population is big already takes globalization as an opprtunity for the development. As the 21st  century begins,  almost one out of every five human  beings is  a Muslim. In the course of the 21sr  century a quarter of the human race will probably be Muslim. The new demographic presence  of lslam within the Western world is indicative that Islamisation  is now a major globalising force (Shuja,2000). As islamisasation a major globslising force, the rapid of muslim society is so fast. As it can be seen that not also in the western also but also in the central Asia, the growing of muslim is so fast. Indonesia which part of Asia has the largest population of muslim.
This paper aims to discuss how the globalization influence to the muslim society. How the the globalization becomes the opportunity to the muslim society for the development.
In term of social life, the muslim society takes globalization as a good movement. Islam is a religion that bring peace. Islam is not just only a religion but also a life orientation. Islam is a good guidance to live the life for all the human kind. Its methods of worship clearly reflect the globalism of its mission. For example prayer is offered five times a day and while offering prayers Muslims stand in a single row, bow together, prostitute together by standing shoulder to shoulder. Fasting is another pillar of Islam. Fasting is observed in the month of Ramazan in the entire world. Hajj another pillar of Islam which represents the global mission Islam represents.  Millions  of  people from all  over  the globe perform Hajj in the same period in the same style wearing same clothes. Islam is endowed with the concept global governance called as Khilafat (Ayub, 2016).
In the new era of globalization, most of all human being have became an open-minded person. The way people see and treat each other has already no discrimrination. It also affect of the free movement of the globalization and the technologies. Islam itself takes this as the opportunity, how in islam there is no discrimination. Muslim live in unity as it perfoms in hajj where every single person form all over the world come and unite to worship. Islam rejects the idea of ‘chosen people’ that are favoured by God over others because of their   race,   color   or   origin.   Thus   a   direct relationship is established with God, open to all alike without any discrimination or intercession. The Quran refutes the argument of Jews and Christians as the chosen people (Ayub, 2016). Allah mentions in Chapter 2, Verse 111:
   And they say: None entereth paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian. These are their own desires. Say, bring your proof (of what you state) if you are truthful.
The Quran mentions in the same Chapter Verse 112 that
    Nay, but whosoever surrendereth his purpose to Allah while doing good, his reward is with His Lord; and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
In social life, there is also a challenge for muslim to their islamic identity.  In the new era of globalization, there is a also a problem about racism. A lot of media all over the world  make bad news about islam. How they twist the news and make  a bad image of islam.
Md Noon (1997) stated that global media makes continuous  effort to disseminate  negative impression on Islam through continuous depiction  of misleading and misconception   of certain  terminologies   such  as terrorism,  violent behavior, fanaticism, and fundamentalism. Sometimes,  it manipulates and exploits news and events occurred in Muslim countries.  The Judeo­ Christian Circle controls the global media and spreads hatred against Islam. The globalized Western media's manipulation, cultural invasion and neo­electronic  imperialism have contributed  significantly  towards the disunity and deterioration of the Muslim world and image of Islam.
Yousuf Ali (n.d) explained that  the doubled­standard  and biased global media coverage on Islam brings about undesirable effects to the Muslim world. Such unethical and immoral practices contradict to the teaching of Islam. Thus, it is obvious that the global media aims to liberalize thought, culture and life­style of Muslims community  through  exporting  Western culture, values and products into the mind of the Muslim teenagers."  Consequently,Muslim teenagers are being manipulated  to believe that Islamic teaching and values on dress code, social conduct  and so forth become irrelevant. Global media also promotes free mingling among the sexes and cohabita­ tion life­style, even live­in couples.
 There also a challenge for muslim after some tragedy that happened. For instance, tragedy September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington DC . Before any evidence was revealed about the identity of the attackers, and within a few minutes, Islam and Muslims were placed in the dock by leading American newspapers such as the New York Times and the Washington Post. In the Western media, Islam was also painted as a violent religion, and ordinary people were made to believe that Islam and terrorism go hand-in hand (Ayub, 2016). It just a little example how the effects of globalization that news spread really fast. At the end, all over it comes back to the media itself. As Ahmad (n.d) said that media is one of actors that are playing a decisive role in bringing about  what can  be described as the emergence of a hyper-imperialism, giving it the benign  name: 'globalization.’ In this case, Muslim have to take a big role, to show the world that islam is a religion that bring peace. Furthermore,  in the era of technology, we are as muslim can take it for granted. To use it in positive way and take it as an opportuniy for the development for our own islamic identity.
In the era of this globalization, muslimah can already use veil or hijab without no doubt beacuse of human rights. Veil or hijab is a culture of women in islam. Before the movement of globalization, it is hard for muslimah to show their identity. It is hard for them to show the world about their culture. When muslimah use it in country that muslims are minorty, they will be judged because of racism. They will be seen as a terrorist. Even nowdays sometimes it still happens, but now muslimah can feel the effects of free movement of globalization. After that, globalization as an opportunity for muslim women in modesty wheren nowdays veil or hijab becomes one of modest in the world. Wilson (2012) studied a variety of subcultures and  religious groups who are  influenced by  the  globalization of consumerism and  symbolism of modesty in fashion and argued that current definitions of modesty in media denotes two entirely different things, first meaning exposure of the female bother, and another concerning the diminishing visibility of Muslim womenThere are a lot of muslim designer that can go global. Even in America, where the muslims are minority, muslimah fashion week is held there. This is the effect of globalization where muslim women take globalizations as the opportunity for them. Because of globalization, muslim women feel blessed because they are seen the same. They feel blessed can use their veil or hijab without afraid being judged as a terrorist. Moreover, muslim women who becomes the enterpreneur are already blend into the industrial system. This are one of the way to reduce the poverty by creating job get income.
Talking about education in the era of globalizations, it influence so much to the muslim society. In globalization era there is human rights which is everybody is the same and should have a good and high education. The positive affects is there are many scholarship for all muslim children. There is no discrimation in the class. globlization has become a really goo impact to the field of education. In Aceh, Indonesia there are a lot of scholarship and it is not a problem for student  who wearing veil or hijab. But, in this era, there is a really big issue which become a problem is that christian missionaries. They adopt many alluring tactics and methods such as establishing non­governmental organizations (NGOs) on the banner  of  economic development,   educational institutions  and  development,  medical   assistance   or aid,  and cooperation  which have hidden  agenda to destroy the faiths   of Muslims, Hindus,  Buddhists and aborigines to convert them to Christianity." There are many missionary bodies and organizations that engage directly in converting people to one of the Christian sects such as the Protestant Church, the Roman Catholic  and other various agencies. According to a survey in 1990 on the role of NGOs promoting   Christianity,  there are 22 thousand  service  agencies, 23,800Newspapers and 2,160 radio and  television  centers, which engaged in disseminating Christianity."  At present, around five thousand foreign agencies and more than 100 thousand missionary institutions are working within  the Muslim World. Their policies and ideas  are to create economically  and education­ ally influential community of converts, who would control all the key sectors of power, politics, education,  social  policy, bureaucracy, and military (Saidul, pg.183, 2001). I experienced it my self, when we came to visit the victims of earthquake in Aceh, Indonesia and wanted to give a trauma healing to childre. But, the parents over there avoided us to give something fun like singing and dancing. They were afraid because before we came, there some voluntee came said to give the trauma healing but the tried to teach the children about cristian. As we can see, one side globalizations is good where there is a disaster, people around the world can know so fast and help. But on the other side, people will use the opportunity to somethong wrong.
Every age  has  its own fads and clichés. In contemporary times, ‘globalization’ seems to have become one;  at least  a sizeable section of the intellectual  and political community  of the world surmises so. Reservations aside, the developments of the past  two decades suggest that globalization no longer seems to be a mere  fad or cliché; it is assuming the position  of a framew ork for a re-ordering of the world.
As such,  it is incumbent on the Muslim ummah in particular  and the people of the third world in general to have  a deeper understanding of what is going on. They must be able to sift the grain from the chaff; to identify those aspects of globalization that are useful,  and as such  desirable and acceptable, and those that are injurious and need to be resisted, modified or adapted to suit their conditions, needs and aspirations. The claim of inevitability and universality has  to be taken  with a pinch of salt. However,  the response should  be positive  as well as creative, since  isolation and autarky  are not the best  options (Ahmad, n,d).

In short, Globalizations is a phenomenon that brings positive and negative aspects. Globalizations gives people a choice how to face this movement. It can be an opportunity and a challenge. Muslim society which the rapid so fast should have concern with this phenomenon. Muslim all over the world should take an action to show the world what and how islam is. Globalization can be a really good opportunity to the muslim society for the development.
