Barbarian

The name Berbers refers to the descendants of the pre-Arab populations of north Africa from the Egyptian frontier to the atlantic and from the Mediterranian coast of Niger. The term comes from the derogatory Greek word for non-Greek and was taken into both latin and Arabic , yielding the English term barbarian.

Berbers speaks variations of a single language, berber, which belong to the Hamito-Semitic language family. They call themselves by some variant of the word amazigh, whish means ‘free man’, and have no sense of community or ethnic unity beyond their tribal affiliations, which notably include the Kabyle of Algeria, the Riffians and Shluh of Morocco, and the Tuareg of the Sahara.

Although their origin unknown, Berber-speaking peoples are thought to have moved into North Africa, probably from the near east, before 200 BC. From c. 600BC, Berber land was invanded by various group, including Carthaginians , Romans, Vandals, and Turks. With he Arab conquest of North Africa in the second half of the 7th century, the Berbers converted to Islam. For a while they fought alongside the Arabs and extended the frontiers of Islam into Spain, but later began to break away from orthodox Islam and Arab Hegemony. They chose a heresy known as Kharijsm, which is still practiced in part of Tunisia and Algeria.

Many feature of early pagan religion have also survived under the guise of orthodox Islam. Christianity disappeared among them in the 12th century, but Judaism, which made proselytes before Christianity, has survived to the present day.

Berbers speakers , who today number over 5 milion, are distributed through Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania, and the western Sahara.

GAYA REMAJA 80-AN DAN IMPLIKASI KEHIDUPAN SOSIALNYA

 

Seragam sekolah dari jaman dahulu rupanya telah menjadi penanda sebuah era dengan tampilannya. Celana begy, seragam longgar, lengan longgar dilinting hingga kita bisa mengintip garis bra dari bawah ketiak siswi (tentu saja yang pakai bra ini siswi bukan siswa), dan sesekali dapat gambaran profile sedikit lengkap bila kita sedang beruntung.

Group band pop yang mendapat kehormatan menjadi trend center di 80-an, Duran-Duran.

 

Kalo diperhatikan, gaya  Duran-duran ini menjadi lebih masuk akal dan diterima,  dibanding bila kita mau njiplak Boy George atau Cindy louper, yang juga bersaing ketat di tangga lagu radio setiap minggu, bersama dengan Whan, Aha NKOTB.

 

Jadilah seragam SMAnya seperti ini: celana beggy dengan sepatu kanvas diinjek, dan poni –serempet jebret- dan kuciran sisa potongan rambut pasti yang dimaksud adalah gaya John Taylor (gitaris Duran-Duran). Diperkuat dengan kehadiran sastrawan, Hilman, dengan penokohan John 'Lupus' Taylor yang begitu kuat, lengkap dengan tas bertali panjang yang tergantung sampai betis.

 

Para siswinya terlalu memaksakan diri dengan atanan rambut serupa surai singa. Yang setiap kali menuntut dirol, gulung, agar surainya berubah menjadi model dadar gulung.

Kalian percaya, bahwa untuk menjaga keajegan dadar gulung ini diperlukan intensitas menyisir yang sering. Seorang siswi AFS dari Australia sampai bingung, bengong dan takjub memperhatikan kelakuan siswi pemuja dadar gulung ini. Maklum, berbeda dengan tradisi bule, yang cuek bebek dalam urusan sisir-sisiran.

 

Gaya & pemujanya sepertinya santai saja dengan tata tertib sekolah yang mengharusnya seorang pelajar dengan sepatu warior hitam, berkaos kaki putih, bercelana standard, berseragam rapih.

 

Kehidupan pelajar dibagi atas beberapa golongan. Antara bergaya, bermerk, dan para kaum tak tergoyahkan oleh mode, kaum biasa. Sialnya keadaan ini menjadi alasan bagi legalitas aktivitas gencet-gencetan di antara senior dan junior. Percaya nggak, gaya gencetnya kurang lebih sama dengan gang Nero yang menghebohkan dunia pendidikan nasional itu.

 

Melihat fenomena ini sebenarnya ada bedanya ngga seeh dengan keadaan remaja kini dengan seragam sekolahnya itu?
