Even though Papua New Guinea is located in the same region as Australia and New Zealand, why is it that Australia and New Zealand became technologically advanced and wealthy? 


                This is the question I chose because, it was an exciting one to me and I knew some things about the history I would like to find out more. I had a great amount of information about the question from a public school when I was still in my home country. I have known that even though Papua New Guinea is located in the same region as Australia and New Zealand, these three countries have a lot of different events, but among each countries, they have possess relation with Indonesia. 


      For example in the 16th century, Papua New Guinea had colonized by Dutch beside Australia and New Zealand had British taking over. From what I learned in Indonesia, Dutch took over for more than 350 years and explore all Indonesian and Papua New Guinea's natural resources without giving any useful education or even developments. Also, Australia and New Zealand have better properties that is valuable for every country in the world to trade with, because they had the ability to do that, it gives them much more advance chance for a wealthy future.


(The Dutch ordered anything possible around 1941)

                  In My Opinion, these different changes were also because of Papua's strong culture. They were covered by their various beliefs and the heritage trust which leads them in difficulties to accept the new innovation and modern ways of life whereas the natural resources is very rich. I think that these are the reasons why Papua New Guinea has less cargo and so much less technologically advanced wealth.

SLR's ARE DONE NOT ONLY AT SCHOOL


ISKL run a program where all six-grade students had to go on a trip and stay there for a night to have some learning’s, fun and something that will keep students to know each other better with their classmates. Last week me and all my friends from class 6A went to a very fun, interesting and extraordinary sight seeing trip to Kuala Selangor! We went on a bus to go there, it almost took more than two hours. For some reason the trip felt so short. I sat next to a boy, I barely ever talk to (Let’s call this boy Bob). I just found out that he is humorist and very nice.
When the bus arrived, we went off and drop our bags in assigned rooms, we will go to lunch after this. At lunch I didn’t sit next to Bob because my best friend wanted to tell me something. At the end of the day, after 6A finished all the activities, Bob and me took a shower. I learnt something about him, he hated bugs, Bob came out screaming, he was already in shower, wet. I asked him what’s the matter, he shouted ‘‘Bugs!’’              ‘‘Well stay calm’’ I said. Bob opened the door and told me to shut the shower and do not tell anyone because he almost cried. Well I did shut the shower and I didn’t make fun of him. The next day, Bob helped me to get out of the mud when we plant mangrove trees. I think that we kind of collaborate constructively and live ethically; it is because we know things that are suppose to do and not to do.
         Now I know that keeping secrets or others feelings is not difficult at all. Why do we need to insult others behind their back, in a way of telling secrets? And now Bob has a big appreciation with something that I figured out very nice. I also have the same good friend feeling, so now I have a new extra best friend. Well, have you done things to make people feel better? Or, are you thinking to do something good from now in your own way.
