HAKKO ICHIU (PENDIDIKAN PANCASILA)

 HAKKO ICHIU

Hakko Ichiu, Delapan Penjuru Dunia Di Bawah Satu Atap) adalah slogan persaudaraan universal yang digunakan Jepang untuk menciptakan Kawasan Kemakmuran Bersama Asia Timur Raya dalam Perang Dunia II. Slogan ini berasal dari kalimat dalam Nihon Shoki jilid 3 bab Kaisar Jimmu yang berarti "seluruh negeri bagaikan sebuah rumah".
Pada masa pendudukan Jepang di Indonesia diadakan pelatihan guru di Jakarta untuk mengindoktrinasi mereka dengan Hakko Ichiu. Para peserta pelatihan diambil dari tiap-tiap daerah/kabupaten.[1]
Hakko Ichiu dipakai Kekaisaran Jepang sebagai kebijakan nasional mulai dari Perang Sino-Jepang Kedua hingga Perang Dunia II. Pada 26 Juli 1940, Kabinet II Perdana Menteri Konoe Fumimaro menetapkan Doktrin Kebijakan Dasar Nasional (Kihon Kokusaku Yōkō) yang berisi keputusan mendirikan Kawasan Kemakmuran Bersama Asia Timur Raya. Tujuan dasar dari Doktrin Kebijakan Dasar Nasional adalah "Mewujudkan perdamaian dunia sesuai dengan semangat agung pendirian negara, yakni delapan penjuru dunia di bawah satu atap sebagai kebijakan nasional Kekaisaran Jepang, dan sebagai langkah awal, pertama, menjadikan Kekaisaran Jepang sebagai inti persatuan yang kuat antara Jepang-Manchuria-Cina untuk fondasi pendirian tatanan baru Asia Timur Raya."
Di berbagai daerah di Jepang, Hakko Ichiu dipakai sebagai salah satu slogan untuk mewujudkan tatanan baru Asia Timur. Di Tokyo dibentuk Chōkoku Hōkōtai (Perkumpulan Pelayan Pendirian Negara) sebagai organisasi pelatihan dan penyuluhan konsep Hakko Ichiu, dan struktur pemerintah kota dimasukkan ke dalam struktur militer.
Setelah Kapitulasi Jepang, Jepang berada di bawah pendudukan Komandan Tertinggi Sekutu. Berdasarkan memorandum yang dikeluarkan Komandan Tertinggi Sekutu tentang "penghapusan sponsor pemerintah, dukungan, pelestarian, pengawasan, dan penyebaran Shinto agama negara", slogan-slogan yang berkaitan dengan nasionalisme radikal, militerisme, dan Shinto agama negara dilarang untuk dipakai lagi.
Dalam kamus besar bahasa Jepang zaman sekarang, Hakko Ichiu dijelaskan sebagai "slogan yang dipakai untuk pembenaran agresi Jepang ke luar negeri selama Perang Dunia II."] Heibonsha World Encyclopedia menjelaskannya sebagai "stereotipe ultranasionalisme berupa doktrin bangsa sendiri sebagai ras tertinggi dan doktrin supremasi untuk melakukan opresi dan aneksasi terhadap bangsa lain yang diperluas hingga agresi oleh negara dan militer untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, serta gerakan/ide untuk peng-ortodoks-an, penyatuan, dan mobilisasi rakyat.

GERAKAN 3A (PENDIDIKAN PANCASILA)

 GERAKAN 3A

Gerakan 3a Jepang Tiga A adalah propaganda Kekaisaran Jepang pada masa Perang Dunia 2 yaitu "Jepang Pemimpin Asia", "Jepang Pelindung Asia" dan "Jepang Cahaya Asia". Organisasi ini dipimpin oleh Mr. Sjamsudin. Gerakan Tiga A dibubarkan karena tidak mendapat sambutan baik dari rakyat Indonesia dan karena dipimpin oleh orang yang kurang dikenal rakyat. Pada 5 Maret 1942, Jepang berhasil menduduki Kota Jakarta. Tentara Belanda yang kewalahan menghadapi serbuan tentara Jepang, mundur menuju Subang, Jawa Barat. Akhirnya, Belanda menyerah tanpa syarat di Kalijati, Subang pada 8 Maret 1942. Kejadian tersebut mengakhiri masa penjajahan Belanda di Indonesia, dan dimulainya pendudukan tentara Jepang di Indonesia, tujuan utama Jepang menduduki Indonesia yaitu, ingin menjadikan Indonesia sebagai tempat mencari bahan baku industri.

Framaroot, Cara Mudah Lakukan Root di Android dalam Tiga Langkah


 Penulis : Edo Fajar Febro

Assalamualaikum.wr.wb
Oke Apakah Anda ingin melakukan root di perangkat Android Anda? Kini ada cara mudah untuk melakukannya. Bila sebelumnya Anda harus mengikuti langkah-langkah yang cukup rumit, Anda mungkin harus mencoba Framaroot. (Unduh di sini untuk mencobanya).

Framaroot merupakan sebuah aplikasi berformat .apk yang didesain untuk secara mudah me-root sebuah perangkat Android. Caranya, Anda hanya diminta untuk mengunduh aplikasi Framaroot tersebut dan menyalin berkas hasil unduhan tersebut ke dalam perangkat Anda via SD Card atau
penyimpanan lain.

Perhatian! CHIP tak akan bertanggung jawab saat terjadi kerusakan pada perangkat Anda. Risiko tanggung sendiri!

Setelah dimasukkan, Anda juga cukup memasang Framaroot layaknya sedang memasang aplikasi lainnya via .apk. Setelah terpasang, Anda sudah dapat melakukan root di perangkat Android dengan 3 langkah mudah.
  1. Buka aplikasi Framaroot
  2. Pilih antara Superuser/SuperSU
  3. Klik Aragorn/Gandalf

Tampilan Framaroot di perangkat Android
Setelah melakukan 3 langkah mudah tersebut, Anda hanya harus menunggu sampai muncul tulisan “Superuser and su binary installed. You have to reboot your device”. Artinya, perangkat Anda sudah di-root dan Anda harus me-restart perangkat. Framaroot juga dapat melakukan proses unroot. Caranya juga sama seperti saat ingin melakukan root. Bedanya, Anda bukan memilih antara Superuser/SuperSU, melainkan pilihan unroot.

Tanda perangkat telah berhasil di-root
Saya sendiri sempat mencobanya di perangkat Sony Xperia E dual. Hasilnya sangat memuaskan. Xperia E dual hanya membutuhkan waktu kurang dari 5 menit untuk di-root.

Tanda setelah root berhasil: muncul “SuperSU” (ki) dan lolos pengujian menggunakan aplikasi Root Checker (ka)

Saat ini, Framaroot sudah masuk ke versi 1.5.1. Untuk penjelasan mengenai versi-versi Framaroot, Anda bisa melihatnya di bawah ini.
  • Version 1.5.1: Memperbaiki laporan Framaroot sering crash
  • Version 1.5.0: Menambah exploit “Boromir”
  • Version 1.4.3: Meng-update SuperSU menjadi versi 1.34
  • Version 1.4.2: Tambahan Bahasa Rusia dan Perancis
  • Version 1.4.1: Fix bug
  • Version 1.4: Menambah exploit “Gandalf”
  • Version 1.3: Menambah exploit “Aragorn” dan “Legolas”
  • Version 1.2.1: Perbaiki bug saat unroot.
  • Version 1.2: Menambah kemungkinan pilihan menginstal Superuser/SuperSU serta unroot
  • Version 1.1: Menambah exploit “Frodo”
  • Version 1.0: Rilis pertama
