Sophisticated Technology

This article explains about sciences, technology its relation to moral values. The existence of sciences and technology seems to be more beneficial for human beings in implementing their activities in their daily life. It is suffice to say that sciences and technology can reduce human involvement in doing something. It can help mankind from working hard. On the one other hand, some people say that sciences and technology will be dangerous for human beings, for examples, nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, tanks, scud, and other sophisticated guns or weapons which are produced by mankind exclusively for massacring and killing enemies----human beings. Therefore, sciences and technology must be controlled by those who have moral values and religious teachings. Those who are behind the sophisticated technology should be inculcated moral values into their heart and mind. Actually, Islam is not against development and modern technology but it supports and facilitates them as long as it is beneficial for human beings. We do not have to put a blame on sciences and technology for the Muslims scholars and Muslims scientists themselves had given sAl-Ghazali, Ibnu Sina, Ibnu Rusyd, Ibnu Khaldun, Al-Tabari, Al-Kindi, Al-Jabeer, Al-Khawarizmi, Ibnu Badjah, Baiquni, Al-Farabi, Al-Razi, Omar Khayam, dan Al-Mas’udi toward modern sciences and particularly to the West (Andalusia). They had been contributing sciences and knowledge to the people both in the East and in the West which were introduced by the kingdom of Bani Abbasiyah and Bani Umayyah. Historically, Islam had been contributing sciences and technology to the Europe for more than five centuries. Unfortunately, when non-Muslims conquered Muslims countries they gave two choices for Muslims---becoming Christians or killed! Most of them were killed and some of them escaped to North Africa and Middle East. All muslims schools and libraries were burned by the conquerors. This was the worst circumstances faced by Muslims in Andalus (Spain), Bosnia Herzegovina, Kossovo, Myanmar and Iraq.

Physics is closely related to human life, without realizing we have implemented it in daily life such as when working, walking and other activities, not only adults but also children. When talking about physics we definitely think that physics was born from the west. Before the development of the west in the 9th Century AD, Physics was used in society, especially the people of Aceh. It is undeniable that technology has developed more rapidly now. Technology was created to facilitate human affairs. There are innumerable kinds of technologies. One example of a very popular technology is gadgets. Every person uses gadgets with modern technology such as smart phones, Children have now become active consumers in which many electronic products and gadgets make children the target market for their toys. Before the era of sophisticated technology one of the toys chosen by most children was the Bude Trieng (shotgun). Bude Trieng is marked by playing activities both by himself and other peer groups. i is one toy that quite safe and most popular with children.

The 19Th Century

The 19th century to the 20th century is a moment in which Muslims enter a new gate, the gate of renewal. This phase is often referred to as the century of modernism, a century where people are confronted with the fact that the West is far ahead of them. This situation made various responses emerging, various Islamic groups responded in different ways based on their Islamic nature. Some respond with accommodative stance and recognize that the people are indeed doomed and must follow the West in order to rise from the downturn. Others respond by rejecting anything coming from the West because they think it is outside of Islam. These circles believe Islam is the best and the people must return to the foundations of revelation, this circle is often called the revivalists. One of the figures who is an important figure in Islamic reform, Jamaluddin Al-Afghani, a reformer who has its own uniqueness, uniqueness, and mystery. Departing from the division of Islamic features above, Afghani occupies a unique position in responding to Western domination of Islam. On the one hand, Afghani is very moderate by accommodating ideas coming from the West, this is done to improve the decline of the ummah. On the other hand, however, Afghani appeared so loudly when it came to the question of nationality or on matters relating to Islam. As a result, Afghani traces his legs on two different sides, he is a modernist but also a fundamentalist.

Descriptive Method

As a conservative philosopher, Leo Strauss reconsiders and criticizes modern political thought methodologically and epistemologically, in that he believes it has faced crises leading history of philosophical thinking to deviate. To put simply, Strauss claims that the major part of critical thinking arisen in the West is the by-product of the modern political thought. According to this, the present paper reviews Strauss’s critique of modern political thought, putting the question “what kind of insights and enlightenments does Strauss’ critique of modern political thought encompass?” As a finding of the research, we can hold that Strauss attempted to show that methodology of historical and epistemology of relativism governing modern political thought disregard trans-spatial and timeless principles of natural law; as a result, it substitutes suspicion for real knowledge and certainty.Thus, it encourages nihilism; on the one hand, it introduces any form of autonomous agreement by human beings as fair right, as it neglects universal morality on the other hand, turning it to the matter of validity. Therefore, it resorts to irresponsibility, and eventually introduces human reason as the only instrumental benchmark for living rules, which in turn encompasses the emergence of totalitarianism. The method of the research is an analytical-descriptive method.

Muhammad Iqbal (1877-1938) was a man of great many ideas-sublime and serene, dynamic and romatic, provocative and profound.He was both a great poet and a serious thinker; but in poetic works liesenshrined most of his thought. It seems rather platitudinous to say, but itis important to note, that a poet is essentially a man of moods, and enjoysa sort of poetic license which is scrupulously denied to a prose-writer.Since a poet usually gives utterance to his reactions to a given situation,his utterances and ideas need not always be compatible with one another.Such was the case with Iqbal.During his poetic career, spanning some four decades, Iqbal hadimbibed, approved, applauded and commended a great many ideas -ideas which occupied various positions along the spectrum on thephilosophic, social, and political plane. Thus, at one time or another, hecommended or denounced nationalism; propagated pan-Islamism andworld Muslim unity; criticised the West for its materialism, for its cutthroatcompetition and for its values while applauding the East for itsspiritualism and its concern for the soul; and condemned capitalismwhile preaching “a kind of vague socialism.”’ While, on the one hand, hesteadfastly stood for “the freedom of ijtihad with a view to rebuild thelaw of Shari’at in the light of modern thought and experience,” and evenattempted to reformulate the doctrines of Islam in the light of twentiethcentury requirements a la St. Augustine, he, on the other, also defendedthe orthodox position and the conservatism of Indian Islam on somecounts. Though “inescapably entangled in the net of Sufi thought," heyet considered popular mysticism or “the kind of mysticism whichblinked actualities, enervated the people and kept them steeped in allkinds of superstitions” as one of the primary causes of Muslim declineand downfall.It is to this aspect of Iqbal that Professor Hamilton A.R. Gibb wasreferring when he suggested: ...

Contradictions are the lived realities of the human beings. They are more so with the people of Nepal who live with multiplicities, modernities, and post-modernities. These multiplicities have come from different roots such as language diversities; caste diversities; class diversities; religious pluralities; ascribed, described, and aspirant gender roles; lived and intended power relations with “hierarchicals” caste groups and communal ethnic groups; and pedagogical variations that grew out in the country and that we imported from the West. ! is indicates that we have pluralities to be managed from different lenses. Reflection on personal back up, putting legs on others’ shoes, listening to others, and creating mosaic are some of the measures that are to be nurtured if we want to ensure educational justice to the diverse groups of people.

The conservation of  Indonesian Traditional Script is less seriously done. Therefore it needs to be encouraged especially for the traditional scripts because they are one of  the national assets which need to be developed and kept. Lontara, traditional script in Indonesia, is the one which is still exist in use in South Sulawesi, although it is restricted in small areas. The term Lontara means history and science, and the second meaning is something written, or an article. Lontara script is also well known as Bugis Script or Makassar Script, but people prefer saying it as Lontara Script. The effort to introduce the Lontara is done in the following ways firstly by introducing the use and the benefit of  the script. People are usually not interested to something because they do not know it. Secondly, it is done by reading and writing. Thirdly is by promoting the people to use it in daily written communication. Fourth is by using it in a publication, or written media, because this script needs to be spread out through a latest modern technology. Fifth is showing the Lontara to the people in a form of  Artistic Craft, or paintings. Keywords: script, lontara, traditional, communication, publication.

Heart And Mind

In the West, questions of the distinguishability of mind and matter and of rationality and emotion or sentiment are central issues within the philosophy of mind. Neither of these topics is of much interest, however, to the mainstream of Chinese thought. On the one hand, the notion of qi, the vital energizing field that constitutes all natural processes, renders discussions of the relevance of any psychophysical dualism moot. On the other hand, xin, normally translated as ‘heart-and-mind’, preludes the assumption of distinctions between thinking and feeling, or idea and affect. Xin is often translated simply as ‘heart’, but since it is the seat of thinking and judgment, the notion of mind must be included in its characterization if the term is to be properly understood. Indeed, what we often think of as ‘will’ or ‘intention’ is likewise included in the notion of xin.

Questions about man, his freedom and liberation, are very important for human existence. Jesus Christ and His paschal mystery are the roots of Christian hope. Jesus is hope’s bearer, however He requires our trust. Jesus Christ fulfills in Himself all the Messianic promises, especially the one of salvific newness of life in the New Covenant, also called the new humanity. The central sign of this newness is the coming of God’s Kingdom. The universality of the Resurrection’s gift brings us hope that all human beings might experience new life. The salvific gift refers to the renewal of the world in the renewal of all men. And yet, the voice of the culture of death—which is the negation of man, his dignity and his hope—is loudly heard in today’s world. The culture of life, on the other hand, brings real hope, especially when it is marked by respect for life. The Christian attitude is one of thanking and praising the Lord in the power of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the hope of the people,of the world, and, therefore, of the new evangelization.

As it is understood that nowadays science and technology are developing rapidly. This is to become a means to create a prosperous human life. Modern technology has created free communication across countries, continents to break through to remote villages through media such as (radio, television, internet). , and so on). Globalization is also one of the influences of the development of technology. As a result, visual media are used as powerful tools in instilling or even destroying moral values, which then affect a person's mindset. In addition, the influence of the west also greatly affects the Muslim community who are uprooted from Islamic roots. Unconsciously, western culture or things related to the west will often conflict with Islamic values. This writing is made to provide an overview to the community, especially the millennial community, to remind each other and synergize to become a young generation with superior character.

This paper presents the case of psychology from a perspective not widely recognized by the West, namely, the Egyptian, Arab, and Islamic perspective. It discusses the introduction and development of psychology in this part of the world. Whenever such efforts are evaluated, six problems become apparent: (1) the one-way interaction with Western psychology; (2) the intellectual dependency; (3) the remote relationship with national heritage; (4) its irrelevance to cultural and social realities; (5) the inhibition of creativity; and (6) the loss of professional identity. Nevertheless, some major achievements are emphasized, and a four-facet look into the 21st century is proposed.
