Sekilas Cerita dari Harvard University :Harmonisasi Peradaban (Harmony Among Civilization)

Harmonisasi antar Peradaban
(Prospek Perdamaian antara Timur dan Barat)

"Wa'alaikum salam, Rip. Leres, SBY kersa rurumpaheun ka Harpad, sareng masihan wejangan deuih ka pala santri di dieu.. Kumaha aya kitu cariosna ka ditu? wilujeng."

~Dadi Darmadi, Ph.D., Mahasiswa Post Doctoral di Harvard University~

Harvard Kennedy School

Boston & Cambrdige - Sekelompok mahasiswa Universitas Harvard melakukan demonstrasi di luar gedung kampus Harvard di Boston, Selasa petang, sesaat sebelum Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono tiba di kampus tersebut untuk memberikan kuliah umum.

Mereka berunjuk rasa untuk menyampaikan terima kasih atas kepemimpinan Presiden Yudhoyono dan Indonesia dalam memperjuangkan penanganan terhadap perubahan iklim.

Michelle Kissenkoetter, Dominic Maxwell, Michael Blomfield dan Joel Kenrick, berteriak-teriak sambil membentangkan poster-poster yang mereka bawa ketika iring-iringan kendaraan yang membawa Presiden Yudhoyono dan rombongan melintas untuk memasuki gerbang kampus.

Keempatnya adalah mahasiswa Master in Public Policy di John F. Kennedy School of Government di Universitas Harvard.

Poster-poster berwarna kuning dan merah muda yang mereka usung itu antara lain bertuliskan "Thank You Indonesia", "Harvard Says, Indonesia`s Our Climate Change HERO", "President Yudhoyono Climate Change World Leader" dan "The Earth Our Future, Thank You Yudhoyono".

"Kami ini adalah mahasiswa Harvard dari berbagai bangsa. Kami ingin masyarakat Indonesia tahu bahwa apa yang telah dilakukan oleh pemimpin negara Anda, sangat kami hargai, dihargai oleh Amerika dan dunia," kata Michelle kepada wartawan.

Dominic, sementara itu, mencatat kontribusi besar yang diberikan oleh Indonesia, yang melalui KTT Perubahan Iklim di Bali dua tahun lalu mampu merekatkan negara-negara untuk melakukan perundingan dalam menangani pemanasan global.

"Apa yang telah dilakukan Indonesia sangat berarti karena negara-negara setelah itu (KTT Bali) mau melakukan perundingan, dan sekarang perundingan telah mengarah ke pertemuan di Kopenhagen, Denmark," kata Dominic.

Kopenhagen pada Desember 2009 nanti akan menjadi tuan rumah pertemuan tentang perubahan iklim yang diharapkan akan menghasilkan kesepakatan global tentang langkah-langkah yang akan dijalankan pasca berakhirnya Protokol Kyoto tahun 2012 tentang penanganan perubahan iklim.

Ketika berita ini dibuat, Presiden Yudhoyono sedang menyampaikan pidato di depan para mahasiswa dan akademisi Universitas Harvard dengan mengangkat `harmonisasi peradaban` sebagai tema utama pidatonya.

Joel Kenrick mengatakan dirinya tidak dapat mengikuti kuliah umum Presiden Yudhoyono karena kehabisan tiket tanda masuk ruangan --yang pada Selasa petang dipenuhi sekitar 800 orang.

Isu utama yang akan disampaikan adalah harmonisasi peradaban dewasa ini. Indonesia, kata SBY, bisa menjadi contoh bagaimana berbagai peradaban bertemu dan berjalan secara harmonis.

Sejak Abad ketiga, di Indonesia sudah terdapat tiga peradaban besar yaitu Barat dengan nilai-nilai kristiani, Timur dengan Hindu serta Cina, dan terakhir peradaban Islam.

"Tapi bisa rukun. Dunia juga bisa begitu," Kata SBY ketika memberikan arahan sebelum tiba di Amerika beberapa waktu lalu.

Indonesia, terang SBY, juga memiliki pikiran dan rekomendasi bagaimana mengakhiri konflik-konflik yang terjadi di Timur Tengah dan bagaimana hubungan Islam dengan Barat.

"Bagaimana sebetulnya situasi dunia di mana Amerika bisa berperan tentang situasi di Irak, Afganistan, dan Palestina, dari kacamata seorang Indonesia, pemimpin yang mayoritas penduduknya Islam untuk mencari solusi dan pendekatan baru," tegasnya.

Selain itu, hubungan Indonesia dengan Amerika akan turut disampaikannya dalam pidato yang rencananya berdurasi 40 menit itu. Amerika, semestinya menjalin hubungan strategis dan tidak boleh berpikir dengan cara pandang lama.

"Tidak boleh masih dengan cara dulu Amerika melihat Indonesia, human right misalnya. Kita harus punya goal, interest di era baru," pungkasnya.

SBY introduced nine suggestions to enact harmony among civilizations.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, popular by the acronym SBY, proposed nine ways to create harmony among nations during his public lecture before the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.

SBY started his lecture by sharing several jokes, including saying that although he had never gone to Harvard, some of the Indonesian ministers and government officials, including his son, Indonesian military member Captain Agus Harimurti, studied in Harvard. “Those who went to Harvard finally end up working for me,” SBY said, which again generated laughter.

SBY introduced nine suggestions to enact harmony among civilizations and nations around the world and to build understanding between western countries, the United States and Islamic countries.

The first idea is the use of soft power, which is diplomacy, instead of hard power or military approach. What Indonesia did in order to achieve peaceful state in Aceh was one good example.

Several numbers of dialogues, from inter-civilization dialogues to the Global Intermedia Dialogue and other forms of dialogues between religions are a more effective way to match perceptions and overcome differences. In Indonesia, the success was accomplished when there was eventually peace in Poso and Maluku after prolonged conflicts, which led to religious disputes, took place.

Other ideas include seeking the solutions of political conflicts that have set up a gap between western countries and Islamic countries, promoting the voice of the moderates in the society, encouraging multiculturalism and tolerance, assuring globalization could be functioning and beneficial for everything, reforming the administration of international institutions, raising global awareness of education and various trans-national problems.

As if responding to the speech of President Barack Obama to the Moslem world at the Cairo University a few months ago which proposed “a new beginning” between the US and Islamic countries, President SBY, who represents countries with the most Moslems in the world, offered “Reinventing A New World”.

The “new world” means a whole new world that is based on nine ideas which according to SBY, would be able to support the creation of harmony among civilizations.

Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, eldest son of President SBY, He is now at Harvard University, Boston, United States. Agus education sector master of public administration at the university who is familiar with the science of social economy.

Kapten Inf Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (lahir 10 Agustus 1978; umur 31 tahun) adalah anak pertama Presiden Republik Indonesia ke-6 Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono dan Kristiani Herawati. Ia menikahi Annisa Larasati Pohan pada awal Juli 2005.

Agus menyelesaikan pendidikan SMA di SMA Taruna Nusantara tahun 1997 kemudian selesai dari Akademi Militer tahun 2000. Agus kemudian menyelesaikan gelar Master di bidang Strategic Studies di Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapura pada 2006. Sekarang sedang menempuh pendidikan di Harvard University, Seperti ayahnya, Kapten Agus juga mengabdi di militer.

Pertanyaan Seputar Pidato SBY dari Mahasiswa-mahasiswa Harvard

Setelah menyampaikan pidato sekira 45 menit, Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono mendapatkan pertanyaan-pertanyaan kritis dari mahasiswa-mahasiwa Harvard Kennedy School, John F Kennedy School of Government, Cambridge Massachusetts, Amerika Serikat.

"Bagaimana penjelasan anda mengenai kasus pelanggaran HAM di Timor Timur," ujar salah satu mahasiswa dalam sesi tanya jawab pertama, seperti dilaporkan wartawan okezone Amirul Hasan.

SBY pun menjelaskan proses rekonsiliasi yang dijalani oleh kedua negara dalam menyelesaikan kasus ini. Menurut SBY, kedua negara sama-sama memiliki keinginan kuat untuk menyesaikan masalah ini.

"Kami melihat masa depan yang baik, dan kami ingin Timor Timur bisa tetap melanjutkan pembangunan perekonomian dan negaranya," ujar SBY saat menjawab pertanyaan itu, Selasa waktu setempat atau Rabu (30/9/2009) waktu Indonesia.

SBY juga ditanya mengenai proses demokratisasi di Myanmar, proyek nuklir Iran dan penanggulangan teroris di Indonesia.

Yang paling mengejutkan adalah salah seorang mahasiswa Harvard yang berasal dari Indonesia mengaku masih mendapatkan diskriminasi karena memiliki agama yang berbeda dari teman-temannya semasa kuliah di Indonesia.SBY mengakui, bahwa ada bebarapa kasus diaskriminasi, namun, saat ini secara menyeluruh Indonesia sudah mampu mengatasi hal itu. Dia mencontohkan struktur menteri pada kabinetnya.

"Mrs Mari Elka Pangestu Menteri perdagangan, yang merupakan keturunan Cina bisa menjadi menteri," kata SBY sambil mengarah ke Mari yang duduk di hadapannya.

PENYEBAB KONFLIK

Dari; Bpk. Romi Satria Wahono, B.Eng., M.Eng., D.Eng.

(Alumni SMA Taruna Nusantara Magelang, Doctor ilmu Komputer dari Saitama University, Jepang serta Founder Ilmu Komputer)

Ada beberapa faktor yang bisa kita analisa sebagai penyebab atau paling tidak bisa pemicu terjadinya suatu konflik.

Faktor pertama adalah karena ambisi untuk menunjukkan eksistensi dan pamer kekuatan (power showing). Kalau Woodrow Wilson mengatakan pada saat perang dunia pertama bahwa perang yang dia lakukan ini bertujuan untuk mengakhiri semua peperangan (war to end all wars). Dan George W. Bush mengatakan bahwa perang melawan terorisme adalah perang untuk menghapuskan kejahatan (wipe out evil). Pada hakekatnya semua ingin mengakselerasi eksistensi diri dan identitas politik (identity politics) di mata dunia internasional. Kemudian mengklaim bahwa tindakan (negara) mereka sendirilah yang benar. Faktor ini juga termasuk faktor penting penyebab konflik politik (revolusi, kudeta) ataupun fenomena ethnic cleansing dan genocide yang beberapa dekade ini cukup marak di dunia (Serbia-Bosnia, Serbia-Kosovo, Tutsi-Hutu di Rwanda).

Kedua, konflik dan perang adalah bisnis model baru yang sangat menguntungkan. Cukup mencengangkan bahwa Amerika sebagai negara yang paling banyak terlibat konflik dan perang, ternyata juga sebagai penjual senjata paling banyak di dunia. Iraq sebagai musuh tetap Amerika dalam beberapa dekade ini mencatatkan diri sebagai negara pengimpor senjata terbesar di dunia. Tak bisa kita pungkiri bahwa perang adalah merupakan bisnis besar.

Negara Pengekspor Senjata (milyar dolar/tahun)	Negara Pengimpor Senjata (milyar dolar/tahun)
Amerika Serikat ($18)	Irak dan Iran ($6)
Rusia ($4.5)	Arab Saudi ($3)
Perancis ($4)	India ($3)
Kuba ($2)	Vietnam ($2)
Cina ($2)	Libya ($2)

Selain keuntungan dari penjualan senjata, kekayaan alam bisa jadi daya tarik lain. Bukan suatu rahasia lagi bahwa Amerika juga mengagendakan eksplorasi minyak dalam setiap keterlibatan konflik dengan negara lain, khususnya negara dalam wilayah Timur Tengah. Demikian juga dengan Australia yang “ada maunya” dibalik dukungan terhadap kemerdekaan Timor Timur. Kini pemerintah baru Timor Timur pusing dengan tuntutan Australia perihal penentuan ulang batasan maritim dalam Timor Gap Treaty 1989, dan juga pembagian royalti masalah minyak di celah timor.

Faktor ketiga adalah faktor kemiskinan, ketidakadilan dan gap sosial yang terlalu besar. Anthony Georgieff berargumentasi bahwa pada era diatas tahun 1990, lebih dari 80% konflik dan peperangan di dunia disebabkan karena faktor kemiskinan dan krisis perekonomian [Georgieff-2000]. Negara miskin lebih besar memiliki peluang konflik dibandingkan dengan negara kaya (dengan perbandingan 3 banding 1). Sekjen PBB Kofi Annan menambahkan dalam salah satu pidatonya bahwa selain faktor kemiskinan, adanya ketidakadilan dan gap sosial-ekonomi yang cukup besar termasuk penyebab konflik yang penting.

Saya cukup terkejut dengan tulisan seorang jurnalis New York Times bernama Barbara Crossette sekitar 4 tahun yang lalu [Crossette-1998]. Dia menyatakan dalam laporan tentang human development bahwa 20 persen orang terkaya di dunia mengkonsumsi 86 persen semua barang-barang dan servis yang ada di dunia. Sementara kebalikannya 20 persen orang termiskin di dunia hanya mengkonsumsi 1,3 persennya. Dan lebih dahsyatnya lagi ditambahkan bahwa, 20 persen orang terkaya di dunia tersebut juga menkonsumsi 45 persen dari seluruh daging dan ikan, 85 persen dari seluruh energi, 84 persen dari seluruh kertas, menguasai 74 persen dari seluruh jaringan telepon dan 87 persen seluruh kendaraan yang ada di dunia.

Dalam laporan tersebut juga disebutkan bahwa tiga orang terkaya dunia memiliki aset yang sekurang-kurangnya jumlah total dari GDP (Gross Domestic Product) 48 negara berkembang. Kemudian Swedia dan Amerika memiliki 681 dan 626 line telepon untuk setiap 1000 orang. Di lain pihak Afghanistan, Kamboja, Republik Kongo hanya memiliki 1 line telepon untuk 1000 orang.

Disamping menjadi masalah serius di Indonesia, ternyata besarnya gap kaya-miskin ini juga merupakan pekerjaan rumah bagi dunia. Kenyataan ini terus terang membuat pertanyaan tentang kapan konflik di dunia ini akan berakhir semakin susah terjawab.

"Classroom Learning Partner"

From: MIT

About

Increasing Instructor-Student Classroom Interaction

and Student Learning in Large Classes

The goal of this project, called Classroom Learning Partner (CLP), is to increase instructor-student interaction and student learning by developing software to support the use of in-class exercises. This teaching methodology is similar to that employed by wireless polling systems, but CLP does not limit instructors to using only close-ended questions such as multiple-choice, matching, or true-false, which only assess recognition rather than engaging students in higher-order tasks.

CLP extends the existing Tablet-PC-based wireless presentation system, Classroom Presenter, to support the submission and aggregation of student solutions to in-class exercises. Lecturing with the system, instructors annotate their slides with digital ink displayed simultaneously on a large screen and on student Tablet PCs. When slides containing exercises are presented, students work through them and anonymously submit their work wirelessly. The system software then uses artificial intelligence techniques to automatically interpret and aggregate the student responses, enabling instructors to view a summary of in-class student work in real time. With such information, instructors can address student misunderstandings and adjust their lessons dynamically.

In addition to developing interpretation and aggregation software, this project has completed four studies in MIT's introductory computer science course, 6.001. Each study has evaluated the hypothesis that the use of Tablet-PC-based classroom systems such as Classroom Presenter and Classroom Learning Partner increases student learning by:

1. Increasing student focus and attentiveness in class,
2. Providing immediate feedback to both students and instructor about student misunderstandings,
3. Enabling the instructor to adjust course material in real time based upon student answers to in-class exercises, and
4. Increasing student satisfaction.

TOEFL Essay Writing Tips

I. Before you begin:

I. Relax and feel confident.
II. Remember that you have 30 minutes to write your essay. Use your time wisely.
III. You may write your essay on the computer or on paper. Choose the one you are MOST comfortable with.
IV. You can write an excellent essay if you remember all these tips!

II. Understanding the TOEFL question:

There are different types of TOEFL questions. You never know which question you will receive, so you must be prepared to write on ALL the types of questions. It is very important that you completely understand the question BEFORE you begin to write. Below are some different essay question types.

1. Choose a point of view and support that view.

Example: Some people believe that university students should be required to attend classes. Others believe that going to classes should be optional for students. Which point of view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to explain your answer.

This type of question asks you to look at only ONE side of the issue…the side you agree with. DON’T write about both sides. You tell which side you agree with and support your ideas with details and examples.

2. Describe something.

Example: If you could invent something NEW, what product would you develop? Use specific details to explain why this invention is needed?

In answering this type of question, you MUST be creative. It asks you to describe something NEW, something that does not exist. You must describe it in detail AND tell why it is necessary.

3. Compare two points of view and tell which one you agree with.

Example: Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age and should spend most of their time on school studies. Others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing. Compare these two views. Which view do you agree with? Why?

In this type of question, you must write about BOTH sides of this issue and then tell which side you agree with. You may NOT say that you agree with both sides. You MUST make a choice. First, give support, details and examples of both sides of the issue. Then, tell which side you agree with and why.

4. Agree or disagree with something.

Example: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: ONLY people who earn a lot of money are successful. Do you agree or disagree with this definition of success? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

In this type of question, you MUST agree or disagree. You cannot be unsure or indecisive. After you have said whether you agree or disagree, you must give convincing reasons and examples for your choice.

5. Explain why something is true.

Example: People remember special gifts or presents that they have received. Why? Give specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

In this question, you should use lots of examples. (For this question, you would use examples of gifts one might receive and tell why those gifts are memorable). Do not write in the first person, “I.” Write in more general terms.

6. Support an idea or plan.

Example: It has recently been announced that a new restaurant may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

In this question, first tell whether you support or oppose the plan and then tell why. Since this question is somewhat personal, it is ok to use personal pronouns such as: “I, me, my” in your answer.

III. The parts of an essay:

In every essay, there should be an introduction, a body and conclusion.

A. The introduction:

The introduction restates the question using different vocabulary and/or sentence structure. The introduction also includes your thesis statement…the most important sentence in your essay.

B. The body:

The body of your essay is also the “heart” of your essay. It will include your main ideas and details and examples to support those ideas. Each new idea should be a new paragraph. Typically, a TOEFL essay will have 3 – 4 body paragraphs.

C. The conclusion:

The conclusion will be your final paragraph. It will summarize all the main ideas in your essay and it may also include your opinion.

IV. How to write a good introduction:

Let’s look at some more essay questions to see how to restate the question and how to write your thesis statement.

TOEFL essay question #1:

Some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants. Other people prefer to prepare and eat food at home. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Restatement & Thesis:

People have two options when deciding where to eat. They can prepare meals and eat at home or they can go out to stands or restaurants. I prefer to go out to eat because the food is more varied and interesting, it is less work for me and it saves time.

Analysis:

The restatement mentions the two types of options people have for eating and tells which one the author prefers. In addition, it gives three reasons for that preference. These three reasons will make up the three main idea paragraphs in the body of the essay.

TOEFL essay question #2:

Is it better for children to participate in team sports or individual sports? Why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Restatement & Thesis:

It is better for children to participate in team sports rather than individual sports. In team sports, children learn how to cooperate. They learn good sportsmanship and how to rely on their teammates. These are important lessons that will benefit children throughout their lives.

Analysis:

The first sentence clearly states the author’s opinion. This is followed by three reasons for the opinion. Finally, the author mentions life lessons. In the essay, the three reasons will make up the three main idea paragraphs in the body of the essay. In addition, the author will mention how each main idea is useful throughout life.

TOEFL essay question #3:

Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

Restatement & Thesis:

There are many good reasons to live in a big city and an equal number of good reasons to live in a small town. I, myself, prefer to live in a small town because it is more personal and homey; it is easier to get around in and it is safer than a big city.

Analysis:

The first statement says that both a city and town have positive aspects. The next sentence tells the author’s preference and reasons for that preference. These reasons will make up the body of the essay.

V. How to write good body paragraphs:

Each paragraph in your essay introduces a new idea. It should include a thesis statement followed by support and examples. Be sure to use LOTS of examples. Within and between paragraphs be sure to use transition words like: on the other hand, however, though, for example, in contrast, likewise, in addition, first, finally. The paragraph should end with a concluding sentence which briefly summarizes the ideas in the paragraph.

VI. The elements of a good concluding paragraph:

A good concluding paragraph should include a summary of your main points. It may also include the author’s opinion. It should NOT introduce any new ideas. A good concluding paragraph often leaves an impression on the reader. It may make the reader think more deeply about the topic.

VII. Preparing to write and writing your answer:

I. Read and understand the essay question. (2 minutes).

II. Organize your ideas on paper by writing a short outline of the introduction, body and conclusion. (8 minutes).

III. Write your essay. Remember to restate the question in your introduction. Use clear details and LOTS of examples in the body of your essay. Finally, summarize the main ideas in the concluding paragraph of your essay. (15 minutes).

I. Reread your essay and make any changes in spelling, verb tense, word choice or sentence structure. (5 minutes).

VIII. A sample TOEFL outline:

TOEFL Question: In some countries, teenagers have jobs while they are still students. Do you think this is a good idea? Support your opinion by using specific reasons and details.

I. It is a good idea for teenagers to have jobs while they are students because they can learn about responsibility; they can learn the value of money and they can learn how to work as a member of a team.

II. Students can learn responsibility

a. They have to come to work on time every day
b. They must serve customers in a friendly manner
c. They have to maintain the store shelves with inventory

III. Students can learn the value of money

a. Students will learn that it takes a lot of time and effort to make money
b. Students will make wiser choices when buying things with their own money

IV. Students will learn how to work as a member of a team

a. Students will learn how to compromise with other employees (helping out when someone is sick, etc.)
b. Students will learn about the friendship that comes from teamwork (feeling like you can trust others)

V. Conclusion

It is a valuable experience for teenagers to have jobs while they are students because they will learn to be responsible adults. They will have an appreciation for money and they will learn about working with others. All of these traits will benefit them throughout their lives.

IX. A sample TOEFL essay (based on the outline above)

It is a good idea for teenagers to have jobs while they are students because they can learn about responsibility; they can learn the value of money and they can learn how to work as a member of a team.

When teenagers have jobs while they are students, they can learn how to be responsible. As an employee, you must follow a weekly schedule. This means, you have to come to work on time. If you are scheduled to begin work at 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning, you have to be there at 8 a.m. It doesn’t matter if you went to a party the night before and do not want to get up. You have to get up. Your boss is relying on you to do your job.

As an employee, you also learn that you must serve the customer in a friendly manner. If you are not friendly, the store may lose business and you may lose your job. Finally, an employee is responsible for maintaining the store shelves with inventory. If you work in a department store, you have to keep the shelves filled with merchandise. The products have to be priced and placed on the shelves. If the shelves look empty, customers may get a bad impression of the store and may not continue to shop there. It is good for students to learn responsibility when they are young because it will benefit them as they get older.

Another benefit to teenagers working is that they will learn the value of money. Often students get money from their parents, but they do not realize how hard their parents work for that money. When students work, they begin to appreciate how difficult it can be to make money.

They also realize that “money doesn’t grow on trees” as some students seem to believe when asking their parents for money. Another reason it is good for students to work is that they will make wiser choices when they use their own money to buy things. For example, if students work 20 hours per week at $7.00 per hour, they will make $140 per week. In one month, that is about $540. Perhaps a student will think twice about spending $120 for a pair of tennis shoes or $350 for a stereo system when s/he has had to work very hard for that money. On the other hand, when students do spend money for personal objects, they will appreciate them more than if they had gotten the money from their parents.

Finally, working teenagers learn from being members of a team. As employees, students learn to work with others and help one another. For example, if someone is sick, you may be asked to help out. In addition, other employees will depend on you to do your share of the work. If one person does not do his/her job, other employees may have to do extra work to compensate.

Students will learn very quickly that it is not good teamwork to expect others to do your work. Finally, students will develop friendships with other employees because they have learned to count on each other. Working as a member of a team will build strong character in students.

To conclude, it is a valuable experience for teenagers to have jobs while they are students because they will learn to be responsible adults. They will have an appreciation for money and they will learn about working with others. These experiences will help them grow into adulthood and benefit them throughout their lives.
