INDONESIA VS JAPAN

 

Japan is an island country in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, People's Republic of China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The characters which make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin country", which is why Japan is sometimes identified as the "Land of the Rising Sun". It’s real name is Nihon Koku.

Indonesia is a transcontinental country in Southeast Asia and Oceania. Comprising 17,508 islands, it is the world's largest archipelagic state. With an estimated population of around 237 million people, it is the world's fourth most populous country and the most populous Muslim-majority nation; however, no reference is made to Islam in the Indonesian constitution. Indonesia is a republic, with an elected legislature and president.

And now, we can compare between Indonesia and Japan. Of course, Japan has higher technology skills than Indonesia. Almost People in Japan is shintonese but  almost people in Indonesia is Moslems. Education cost in Japan is more expensive than  in Indonesia and level of education in Japan is higher than Indonesia’s. Indonesia has more population than Japan’s and Indonesia is bigger than Japan. Indonesia area is 1,919,440 km sq ang Japanare is “just” 377,873 km sq. Indonesia is still developed country and Japan has been developing country. About the view of the country, Indonesia is higher than Japan. Indonesia has more interesting area in each islands. Japan uses “yen” to their money and Indonesia uses “Rupiah” to their money. Japan is the exporter of car, television, air conditionaire, and etc. Meanwhile, Indonesia is the exporter of Corn, seed, many kinds of vegetable and fruits.

But, Indonesia is like Japan. Because both of them is archipelago and agrarian country. The People is friendly and kind. But, because I am Indonesian, I think Indonesia is better than Japan.

The Comparison of Indonesia and South Africa

Indonesia is a huge country. Located on the south-east asian. It’s an agriculture country, which mean most of Indonesian’s life depends on plantation. Most of Indonesia’s area are water, for example sea, etc. Indonesian uses Democratic system on its politic, it means that Indonesian has a freedom to explain his opinion or everything in his mind to the public. In the education section, Indonesia has good enough education quality, but it is centered in Java and other big island. In this case, Indonesia has to improve its education quality in all part of its. The same condition is found on the healthcare section. Well quality of healthcare is just found on the big city or town. Because of it condition, many Indonesia is got  many of diseases, for example TBC, etc. Beside that, because of the quality of the education, especially the education about free sex, many people get HIV or AIDS.
In the other side of the world, South Africa is also a huge country, even not as big as indonesia. It’s located on the southern Africa. It has a very huge number of poverties. It because of the great inflation that has happened on the country since a couple of years ago. Different from indonesia, most part of South Africa is a land. This economic inflation causing Africa becomes the poorest country on earth. The economic inflation is also causing the bad quality in all part of its education, healthcare, and also causing a lot af dangerous diseases.
