BAB 4: POLITIK DAN STRATEGI NASIONAL 
KETAHANAN PANGAN SEBAGAI IMPLEMENTASI POLITIK STRATEGI NASIONAL DALAM EKONOMI 


PENDAHULUAN 
Pembangunan dan kemajuan Indonesia harus memiliki visi dan sistem nilai yang jelas dalam pembangunan ekonomi. Tidak ada kerangka jelas sebagai acuan tentang strategi pembangunan Indoneisa. Kekacauan pendekatan pembangunan terlihat pada kaburnya konsep produk nasional. Sampai sekarang tidak jelas konsep produk nasional termasuk ketahanan pangan. Produk asing dibiarkan mengalir ke Indonesia, sehingga produk dalam negeri menjadi menurun. Muncul kekhawatiran perekonomian Indonesia akan semakin terhempas dalam era globalisasi, yang penuh kompetisi. Dalam Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 7 Tahun 1996, terdapat dua istilah penting tentang pangan, yaitu system pangan dan ketahanan pangan. Sampai saat ini ketergantungan pangan padi masih sangat besar. Dari total kalori yang dikonsumsi oleh masyarakat Indonesia, hampir 60% dicukupi oleh beras. Kondisi ini sangat tidak menguntungkan bagi pola ketahanan pangan nasional. Penurunan produksi padi akibat gagal panen atau sebab lain akan berpengaruh besar terhadap kecukupan pangan nasional. Ketergantungan pada padi seperti yang terjadi saat ini sangat tidak menguntungkan bagi kelangsungan ketahanan pangan nasional. Selain harus terus dilakukan usaha peningkatan produksi padi, program diversifikasi pangan dengan sumber karbohidrat lain merupakan tindakan yang sangat strategis. Saat ini ketahanan pangan menjadi implementasi ekonomi Indonesia dalam politik dan strategi nasional, yaitu menjamin tersedianya pangan dan nutrisi dalam jumlah dan mutu yang dibutuhkan pada tingkat harga yang terjangkau dengan memperhatikan peningkatan pendapatan petani dan nelayan serta peningkatan produksi yang diatur dengan undang–undang.

BAB 3: KETAHANAN NASIONAL
NASIONALISME PEREKONOMIAN DI ERA GLOBALISASI



PENDAHULUAN
Berkembangnya ilmu teknologi, seperti informasi, komunikasi dan transportasi di era globalisasi merupakan masalah yang tidak bisa dinggap mudah oleh bangsa Indonesia. Seringkali masyarakat Indonesia terjebak dalam globalisasi yang semakin memprihatinkan. Globalisasi ditandai dengan kuatnya pengaruh lembaga-lembaga kemasyarakatan internasional, negara-negara maju yang ikut mengatur percaturan politik, ekonomi, sosial budaya, serta pertahanan dan keamanan global. Tanpa disadari bangsa Indonesia harus mampu berkompetisi di dunia yang tanpa batas. Globalisasi yang dipicu oleh Transportasi, Telekomunikasi dan Trade (3T) telah membuat dunia menjadi tanpa batas wilayah, kebudayaan, ekonomi, politik, pertahanan keamanan, dan kepentingan karena negara-negara maju memasuki dan mempengaruhi wilayah negara-negara lain terutama negara berkembang. Seiring berjalannya waktu, Indonesia mengalami penurunan rasa nasionalisme terhadap bangsanya sendiri. Seperti yang kita lihat dalam kehidupan sehari-hari bagaimana generasi muda sekarang terjebak dengan kehidupan yang baru sehingga mengalami penurunan, dan rasa nasionalisme mulai sedikit memudar. Bahkan informasi pengenalan tentang berbangsa dan bernegara seperti makna dari bendera merah putih, bahasa Indonesia dan lagu-lagu kebangsaan akhirnya menjadi sangat minim. Dari aspek ekonomi, akibat menguatnya kapitalisme dan terjadinya gelombang privatisasi, maka berbagai sektor kehidupan ekonomi telah dikuasai asing, seperti perbankan, perkebunan, perdagangan bahkan sector retail. Yang berdaulat di bidang ekonomi justru kekuatan global yang bersifat maya (virtual), dipresentasikan oleh Multi-National Corporations (MNC).

BAB 1: SEKITAR NKRI 
HAK ASASI MANUSIA DI INDONESIA 


PENDAHULUAN
Negara Indonesia adalah negara hukum dan setiap warga negara Republik Indonesia memiliki hak sejak masih di dalam kandungan. Hal ini terdapat dalam UU Republik Indonesia Nomor 39 Tahun 1999 Tentang Hak Asasi Manusia Pasal 1, yaitu “Hak Asasi Manusia adalah seperangkat hak yang melekat pada hakikat dan keberadaan manusia sebagai makhluk Tuhan Yang Maha Esa dan merupakan anugerah-Nya yang wajib dihormati, dijunjung tinggi dan dilindungi oleh negara, hukum, Pemerintah, dan setiap orang demi kehormatan serta perlindungan harkat dan martabat manusia”. Setiap orang mempunyai kebebasan, tetapi setiap orang juga wajib mengakui dan menghormati hak asasi orang lain. Hak asasi manusia meliputi hak hidup, hak kemerdekaan, dan hak memiliki sesuatu. Sejarah bangsa Indonesia hingga kini mencatat berbagai penderitaan, kesengsaraan, dan kesenjangan sosial yang disebabkan oleh perilaku tidak adil dan diskriminatif atas dasar etnik, ras, warna kulit, budaya, bahasa, agama, golongan, jenis kelamin, dan status social lainnya. Perilaku tidak adil dan diskriminatif tersebut merupakan pelanggaran hak asasi manusia, baik bersifat vertical (dilakukan oleh aparat negara terhadap warga negara atau sebaliknya), maupun horizontal (antar warga negara sendiri). Oleh karena itu, penulis membuat dengan judul “Hak Asasi Manusia Di Indonesia”.

More than twenty five tons of silver are consumed yearly.The silver working place is located at Kota Gede. It is five kilometers south-east of Yogya's centre. Getting there is only twenty minutes. In this surrounding district you can find silversmith work shop easily.

Savings Banks

When we were young, it was hard to imagine what we shall feel like when we are old. We should be careful if we are able to work and earn money to put something away for our old age. To save requires imagination, thrift means foresight.
Thrift also means self-denial. Our natural tendency is to satisfy out present wants and indulge every passing desire. People with unlimited income may afford to do this, but they are very few. Most of us have very limited income. Unless we are very firm with ourselves, we shall spend all we earn as soon as we get it. It takes a good deal of strenght of will to deny ourselves many things we badly want, in order to save up for a rainy day.
Savings banks are established to encourage us to provide for the sickness and are old age. They do this,  first, by keeping our money safe for us. To keep large sums of money in the house, in a drawer or a hole in the floor is risky, but a good bank is well guarded, and will not lose our money. Secondly, it rewards us for saving by interest on the money it borrows from us. If you keep Rp 10.000,00 in the drawer, it will still be Rp 10.000,00 at the end of ten years, but if you put in the savings banks at, say, 15% interest per years and leave it there, after ten years you will have about Rp 40.000,00.  
Maybe if you save with a foreign currency whose benefits could be even greater. Given the rupiah is still small compared with foreign currency and other developing countries, such as the U.S. dollar, poundstearling, AUD (Australia) as well as neighboring countries despite the ringgit (Malaysia).
Finally, if you keep money in your house, you will be tempted to spend it, but if it is in a bank you will think many times before you draw it out. Therefore the savings banks are a great help to people with small income. They can save their money there and spend it when they are old.
