In my hometown, some trees were cuts and caused great
damaged into the beauty of nature and so with the citizen living on it. Problem
arises from time to time. Flood, illness both mentally and physically, some
even gets rebellious. Why? Because it’s an island with many awesome and wonderful
places to visit and experience, number of tourists decreases which are ‘just’
the root of income next to fishing. So fewer tourists’ means less food that leads
to malnutrition and eventually, family problems occurred. And then, comes the
society.
Thinking like a sociology scientist, I know that I can
change it. And I also know that probably there are people who attempt to change
it, too. But why isn’t it happening? Most probably because there are people who
uses their power to resist that change.
Cutting trees are illegal but still a person tends not to
follow the rules because they have powers. Power for some, hunger for others.
That’s why our society is living in a messy world.
I know I don’t have the power to change them, but still, I
know I can contribute to my society by changing how they think towards their
life, by encouraging them to start put it into actions. What’s the use of ‘People
Power’? A small action could change it all. Planting trees could be a small
step and some things tend to follow to change eventually. It’s just a matter of
cooperation, social interaction and the will to change things.
