I'm going to talk about a rule that is very important for people of my profession. It is Ministry of Finance Regulation No. 65 / PMK.02 2015 which regulates Unit Cost of Translation and Typing. This regulation is a description ... an official one that gives my profession, a translator, a power to bargain the price for our service properly. This regulation covers the profession of translator, but it is not exclusively just translator but also interpreter. I think the majority of people do not know or familiar with this policy because they will only know about this policy if they are going to translate something or have a business with professional translator / sworn translator. The price for 250 words is 152,000 rupiahs. So you should not be surprised. If people don't want to pay this amount, they can try to find a cheaper translator. For most people who use the service of translator maybe this policy is a bit unpopular. But for translators, this is the protection that we need for our job. Without this regulation, customer will ask for a much lower price like 15,000 rupiah per page .. which in my opinion is a total nonsense considering current economy.

ESSAY 27

Some people say we do not need printed paper newspapers anymore. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Today, people have more sources of information compared to the situation 20 years ago. With the advance of digital technology, there are many channels of media to choose from including newspapers publishers, which now convert to digital content by means of website or apps that can be accessed widely. This is a form of adaptive transformation, which is beneficial both for the publishers and for the users. Traditional information providers such as radio broadcaster, television channels, and newspaper publishers are trying to adapt with the latest technology advancement. Current information channels are no longer restricted to use traditional media such as printed papers. For the newspaper companies, this is a good news from the perspective of resources and cost efficiency, mainly from eliminating the cost of paper, which is expensive and hard to get. By removing the cost of ...

ESSAY 17

Women and men are commonly seen as having different strengths and weaknesses. Is it right to exclude males or females from certain professions because of their gender? Modern time has seen rapid advancement in people’s lifestyles; a situation which is suspected to happen due to progress in technology and globalisation. This has also affected people’s preferences for their career. Instead of being fixated on the traditional career path, modern people tend to explore many new fields and areas where they can follow their dream even to the point which was unimaginable three decades ago. This essay would further analyse the correlation between gender and occupational preference and its future prediction. Women have been considered as inferior to men in terms of physicality and this view may very well have some truth in it. It seems that even the slightest depiction of alternative prehistoric situation where the females hunted for food and slaughtered wild beast will be a cause for ...

As well as making money, business should have social responsibility. To what extent do you agree or disagree? In a developing country such as Indonesia, there are so many ongoing development activities in most of the provinces. These activities can be done by the government-owned companies or the private companies. These companies create lots of revenue and gain considerable profit from their activities, however, most often than not it is only for their own advantage. It is argued that every business should share a certain percentage of their profit to help local citizens develop their economy. I agree with this statement as it can promote a sense of fairness and help to provide better economy which is crucial to improving the quality of life. First of all, it is important to remember that these prestigious companies often create their plants and factories in the middle of the community. Since the factories need to be operated by experts in their fields, local citizens are ra...
