Important thing about name

 Many of us assume that names do not have rules and assume names are trivial. But, do we know that names have rules? The rule is called, Naming Traditions which is a name placement rule so that there are no mistakes when it is mentioned or written, this is very important because if we mispronounce or write down someone's name can make an offensive impression. Some countries have their own naming traditions.
 For example, the Spanish country people bear a single or composite given name (nombre in Spanish) and two surnames (apellidos in Spanish). A composite given name consists of two (or more) single names; for example Juan Pablois is considered not to be a first and a second forename, but a single composite forename. The two surnames refer to each of the parental families. Traditionally, a Person first surname is the father's first surname (apellido paterno), while their second surname is the mother's first surname (apellido materno). For example, if a man named Eduardo Fernández Garrido marries a woman named María Dolores Martínez Ruiz and they have a child named José, there are several legal options, but they are known as José Fernández Martínez.
 If we mispronounce or write the name of someone has naming traditions in their country, it can make the offensive impression an example such as when former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit with President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president's wife as Mrs. Kim. While the South Korean officials were offended, the U.S. delegation was embarrassed. In error, President Clinton's advisers assumed that Koreans have the same naming traditions as the Japanese. President Clinton had not been informed that, in Korea, wives retain their maiden names. President Kim Young Sam's wife was named Sohn Myong Suk. Therefore, her correct name was Mrs. Sohn. In Korea, the family name comes before the given name.
 So it's better before you mention or write down someone's name, we need to know how to naming traditions that exist in each country. So that there is no misunderstanding and does not offend anyone.

Thank You!

Differences are beautiful

 In this world everything is created differently, like black and white. White will not be beautiful without black, and the otherwise. Likewise with the motto of our country ‘Bhineka Tunggal Ika’ which means ‘Different but still one’ considering that Indonesia has so many cultures, indigenous languages, etc. But, all those differences will feel wonderful if we can respect each other.  I increasingly appreciate a difference when reading a novel entitled "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus". The contents of the novel tell about differences between women and men. Differences such as how to communicate, dress, how to solve a problem, etc.  A woman tends to involve the heart in all problems. Whether it's a matter of love, friendship, or family problems. They always prioritize their hearts rather than their logic, which is why women are called "very sensitive creatures" because they really always involve the heart. In the way of communicating women tend...
