2. Summary of Our Project

In recently days many people are worried about their safety and security in their activities, because Global politic in our daily lives get worst and worsted progressively every second, every minutes, every hour, and every days. It is caused by one of core global politic problem, that is global energy productions and consumptions, human main energy resource(petroleum/fossil fuel) soon has been depleted, And it change overall the global politic situation which connected with global security and safety condition. So we have the urge to inform the world about the declining global Safety & Security

4. Problems We Had To Overcome

Although this is not the first time we’ve made a website, there were many problems such as in finding the precise source, in lessening the Picture pixels so that it could be uploaded, and the usual programming problem. The real problem is taking the survey. We took the liberty to host a voting program to see which figure is a better peace keeper. We divided the peace keepers group into two sub-groups: Military and Political. Military peace keepers include generals that contribute greatly to fighting terrorism. While Political peace keepers mainly consists of politicians that made treaties, pacts, and anything that keeps terrorism to occur or sweeping away terrorism and such. Another major problem is creating the hall of peace keepers. There is so many peace keepers in the world that we made standardizations of how and what they must achieve to qualify in the hall itself. After we make many judgments to decide how to make an exact standardization, we have qualifications for the hall of fame peace keeper That is: -. What contribution they have made for themselves and wide people around him -. Why they do what they have done -. How they make many good changes for everyone -. What’s negative side of them? -. Before they start anything about it

5. Our Project Sound Bite

In this case we have many advantages in wide social community range because we were getting information from many online source then receive link and contact with WCQ website, Wikipedia.org, Lembaga Kajian Islam, etc. In other side With this project we have contact link to Institution whether it is from government institution or social activist organization for example “Densus 88”(government institution) and Lembaga Kajian Islam(social activist Organization). And other advantage in our school community are much important than other because our school in many days become more advance in ICT and Democratic in getting informations.

6. How did your activities and research for this Doors to Diplomacy Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?

In this occasion our project give many support and advantage for our standard curriculum and social neighborhood, because our web is contain many information which make the global understanding of safety and security. For example do not make differentiation of anything between national community or race, so that might breakdown the international relationship become a ruin then bring the world to the third world war or anything like downfall of human being in the world.

Project Elements

1) What information tools & technologies did you used to complete your Doors to Diplomacy project?

1) What information tools & technologies did you used to complete your Doors to Diplomacy project? Information tools and technologies did we used are : 1. Laptop, each member on our team have their own laptop 2. Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004, the software is easy to use and easier to make web with it. 3. Internet, a lot of informations that we need are in internet. 4. Newspaper, we can find a lot of information in it. 5. Adobe Photoshop, this software is important for web design and photo editing.

2) In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your Doors to Diplomacy project both on-line and in person.

Well, we designed the safety catalog’s ability of hazard-preventing to fit the recent disasters in Indonesia. The fact that we created the peace keepers’ quotes is to remind the readers of the page the things that make the leaders who they are, and what created the impact in today’s world. Overall, we significantly use the quotes to comment and in some cases, criticize how the leaders of today think and act.

3) What has been the impact of your project on your community?

We hope our web can raises awareness about peacekeeping efforts, combating terrorism, and nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction to the community. Because a lot of our community don’t know about that and don’t care about it. We want to explain that we must start to think about global safety and security because it’s so very important for us that we can live in this world with peace and prevent people to be terrorist and create weapons of mass destruction. If we don’t care about it, i think this world will become worst, a lot of innocent people die, and we don’t be comfortable to live in our world.

4) How did your project involve other members of your community as helpers and volunteers?

We need extra work force in a few parts of this project, beside that the project is very exciting for our community. It caused our project talk about Global safety and security. It has important influence to the human being and most of problems are caused by unwisely human Decisions to success their individual or community goals.
