Exploring Argumentative Essay



Class Review 10 

            Tak terasa sebentar lagi mata kuliah writing and composition 4 akan segera berakhir. Setiap minggunya aku selalu dibuat gila dengan segala tugas mk ini yang begitu menguras konsentrasi, meskipun demikian senyum di wajahku dapat mengembang saat aku berhasil membuat essay sesuai dengan yang Pak Lala instruksikan. Tiap harinya tangan, mata, otak, hati, semuanya ikut bekerja. Membaca-baca artikel di internet, mencari informasi, memikirkan ide-ide, kemudian merangkainya menjadi sebuah essay sudah menjadi rutinitas harianku. Sedih, jengkel, lelah, galau, bahagia, turut mewarnai proses-proses pembuatan jenis-jenis teks yang ada di semester 4 ini. Di essay terakhirku ini Insya Allah akan memberikan yang terbaik, meskipun rasa malas terus mendera karena sudah ada dihadapan mata kurang lebih satu bulan lagi libur panjang. Yuk semangat. Do your best, persistence !

What is Argumentative Essay?

Sudah menjadi kebiasaanku setiap kali jenis-jenis teks datang silih berganti untuk segera aku kuasai biasanya hal yang pertama aku lakukan adalah benar-benar memahami pengertian, fungsi dan struture dari jenis teks apa yang akan aku kerjakan. Saat ini tiba pada giliran Argumentative essay. This is it.

The differences among expository,exposition, and argumentative essay:
1.     Expository: knowing and informing people about the topic. Less research.
2.     Exposition: Persuade the reader, Perbedaan kedalaman.
3.     Argumentative: Deep research, detailed research, invention deeper.

“An arguemntative essay you have to persuade your audience to consider your point of view, even if they may disagree with you. You must write clearly and logically, by showing your aguments with evidences, reasons, and tetxs”

Argumentative essay adalah jenis teks yang digunakan untuk meyakinkan pembaca bahwa topik yang dihadirkan adalah topik yang penting untuk dibahas atau mendapat perhatian dengan cara pemberian argumen-argumen atau pendapat-pendapat yang mendukung ide pokok atau topik tersebut. Dalam menulis teks ini, penulis perlu mencari sumber informasi agar argumen yang dikemukakan cukup kuat untuk mempengaruhi pembaca atau pendengar. 

The structure of argumentative essay:

1. Introduction, “Background information about the topic dan thesis statement.” Penulis memperkenalkan tentang topik atau ide pokok yang akan dibahas.
2.    Body, “Arguments.” Dalam bagian ini penulis menghadirkan argumen-argumen atau pendapat-pendapat yang mendukung ide pokok penulis.
3.    Conclusion, “Summary, solution, prediction, or recommendation.” Pada bagian ini merupakan bagian penutup, berisi tentang saran dari penulis atas thesis dan arguments yang dikemukakan. Biasanya ada kata-kata should, should not, ought to, ought not to, dll (that’s the ways to tell your own suggestion here).

Berikut di bawah ini contohnya:

            Ada seorang teman yang merokok, kita bisa saja memberikan pendapat kita bahwa merokok itu tidak baik. So the thesis is “Smoking is not good for your health.” Kemudian di body paragraph kita akan memberikan alasan-alasan mengapa merokok itu tidak baik, so we tell the arguments that support our thesis. Selanjutnya kesimpulan berisi tentang saran dari penulis atas Thesis dan Arguments yang dikemukakannya. Akan ada kata-kata “Should” sebagai cara untuk menuangkan saran dari penulis. Dan yang terakhir jangan lupa tujuan jenis teks ini pada intinya adalah membujuk pembaca agar terpengaruh sesuai apa yang  diinginkan oleh penulis.

          Kesimpulannya, thesis berisi paragraf pendek yang mengandung pernyataan kontroversial sebagai tanggapan atas masalah yang muncul. Argument berisi paragraf yaang menyatakan argumentasi penulis akan thesis-nya di paragraf pertama. Recommendation berisi tentang saran-saran penulis untuk menyelesaikan persoalan yang berhubungan dengan thesis. Tenses yang digunakan ialah present tenses, karena teks jenis ini berisi informasi yang bernentuk paparan argumentasi atau pendapat dalam menanggapi suatu permasalah. Jadi, arumentative essay terdiri dari thesis, argument, recommendation.


This is the outline of my argumentative essay:

Introduction
 Define the topic: Why West Papua should still be part for NKRI
(Thesis statement)This paper provides some arguments about why West Papua should still be a part of NKRI, because of these reasons, namely history, culture, and natural resources.
(Support the thesis). Indonesia certainly will never allow West Papua separate from NKRI. It is caused West Papua is one of Indonesia's most province rich in natural resources and also West Papua includes one of the larger province in Indonesia

Body

Limit the topic
(Argument 1) The government of Indonesian only focuses to exploit West Papua’s natural resource. They do not pay attention more for the welfare of its people. The evidence is West Papua includes one of the poorest regions in terms of economic, education, history, politic, health, and so on.
(Argument 2) West Papua seems will not able to establish their own country with conditions including the poorest region in all aspects as mentioned above. As we have already known that in West Papua has become a part of NKRI since the proclamation of Indonesia independence on August 17, 1945. Then why until now West Papua is still far from the concept of NKRI.
(Argument 3) NKRI is a state form that consists of many scattered areas or islands with diverse customs, tribes, cultures and beliefs that have become the nation's basic goal of an independent, sovereign, unified, equitable, and prosperous with the government that protect all the people of Indonesia and the entire country of Indonesia as well as realizing the welfare of general, the intellectual life of the nation, and the establishment of world order. So what actually causes Papua still does not enjoy the full concept of NKRI until now. 

Analyze the topic
I personally support West Papua to be a part of NKRI, because of these factors:
1.    History: Indonesia has been fighting hard to regain territory of West Papua from dutch colonial and maintain it become a part of NKRI since the proclamation of Indonesian independence on August 17, 1945 until now through complex processes such as Meja Bundar Conference (KMB) in 1949, New York Agreement in 1962, Pepera 1969,  and finalizing the General Assembly of PBB November 19, 1969.
2.     Culture: There are so many unique culture there. For instance: West Papuan population includes more than 250 ethnic groups and languages.
3.     Natural resource: There are so many tourism objects there. The most popular is Raja Empat. In Raja Empat there are about 75% of the types of coral reefs which is in the world.

Conclusion
West Papua has so many natural resources and culture, if they are managed well, then it is so useful to increase income for Indonesia. So, West Papua should be maintained become a part of NKRI. And also the government of Indonesia ought to pay attention more to increase the welfare, education, economic, health, and so on for West Papuan, so that they will not influence with the other countries to separate their country become their own country. West Papuan and Indonesia should work together to maintain Indonesia from Sabang until Merauke, so that all the provinces which include NKRI since the proclamation until now are still same, and they will never separate anymore.
