The negative stigma of the community towards the existence of buskers has been going on for a long time. Many factors cause this to happen. These factors, among others, because most people consider this profession bad. The public assumes that all street buskers are uneducated not familiar with the criminal black world, and many others. The factors above are only a handful of various reasons that arise in the community related to their negative responses to street buskers.
Many things are the background of people - to take to the streets and busking. Some are because it is almost economic that they have to take to the streets for a bite of rice. There is also a background for channeling their hobbies and interests. It is common for students who become buskers because their interests and hobbies are singing and playing music.
Communities in big cities that use private and public transportation modes may already be accustomed to the street buskers that blend with hawkers, beggars, homeless people, etc. The response of ordinary people about street buskers varied, some claimed to be quite entertained and happy about their existence. Many more feel annoyed and uncomfortable with them. The dream of buskers is made worse by the large number of criminal cases involving street buskers as the culprit.
Street buskers should not be seen with only one eye. There are a number of the world's top artists to the world who pioneered his career from the streets. Domestically there is Charlie Van Houten, who used to be a member of one of the most famous bands in the World. He claimed to start his career busking from one train station to another. There are also Tegar, Aris 'Idol', etc. Abroad, there is a famous band in his day that is even legendary until now the famous band The Beatles. There is also Ed Sheeran who was once a street busker around the O2 arena in London, England. He has been recognized as a great musician, plus the many awards he has achieved including the most prestigious in the world music industry "Grammy Awards". The artists above are clear proof that street buskers should not be underestimated.
Responding to the existence of street singers must be seen from two sides. This pattern of problem solving must be done at all levels of society. The government must also play a role in educating and guiding street buskers to become better individuals in the future. We as a society must be wise. As the saying goes "don't just judge a book by its cover", maybe it's time we use this saying in response to the existence of street buskers around us.
Earthquake
Earthquakes are vibrations or shocks that occur due to the movement of the rock layers that originate from the bottom or subsurface of the earth. Natural events that often occur in areas close to volcanoes and also in areas surrounded by vast oceans.
The earthquake occurred because of the shifting of the earth's lower layers and the terrible volcanic eruption. In addition, earthquakes occur so quickly with such a devastating impact. Therefore, the consequences are extraordinary. Earthquake vibrations are very strong and propagate in all directions so that it can destroy buildings and cause casualties.
Based on the cause of the occurrence, earthquakes can be classified into two, namely tectonic earthquakes and volcanic earthquakes. Tectonic earthquakes occur because the layer of the earth's crust becomes precarious or soft so it experiences movement. The "Tectonic Plate" theory contains an explanation that our earth consists of several layers of rock. Most of the crustal area will be washed away and float in layers, like snow.
This layer moves so slowly that it breaks and collides with one another. That is why earthquakes occur. Meanwhile, volcanic earthquakes occur because of an extremely devastating volcanic eruption. This volcanic earthquake is less common when compared to tectonic earthquakes.
Earthquakes can occur at any time, without knowing the season. However, earthquake concentrations tend to occur in certain places, such as the Pacific Plate boundary. This place is known for its ring of fire because of the many volcanoes.
Explanation Text Structure
