Neuroimaging of Emotion : The Science Behind Our Gloomy and Sunny Days

Emotion – the word is old as time and the way it arises veiled with a mystery as arcane as the origin of human existence. Needless to say, do we really know what emotion actually is?

This work, which was adapted from my final course essay in Cognitive Science and edited for popular reading, is my attempt to explain it – Andi Juliastri S Continue reading Neuroimaging of Emotion : The Science Behind Our Gloomy and Sunny Days

Andi Juliastri x Entrepreneur Resorts for Ocean Day

An Events and Marketing Manager season in my career. My first paying job was in sales. In Indonesia they call it Sales Promotion Girls or SPG for short. While the job title might provoke a negative connotation to some ears, I performed it with passion and integrity. No work was below me, I did it all, from lifting boxes to sell products in the streets … Continue reading Andi Juliastri x Entrepreneur Resorts for Ocean Day

The #KaburAjaDulu Phenomenon: A Call for Change in Indonesia

What has become of Indonesia until many of its citizens are dreaming of escaping the country? Has Indonesia become the modern version of Ancient Egypt? a country ruled by Pharaohs whose cruelty had made their subjects yearned for another life, in another place, situated far away across the pond, if not in a new continent?  These questions lived rent-free in my mind as I was … Continue reading The #KaburAjaDulu Phenomenon: A Call for Change in Indonesia

Une Brève Discussion sur Les Médias en Finlande

Voici la première pièce que j’ai écrite en Français. Pour être honnête, j’ai eu peur à l’idée de publier un contenu dans cette langue car le français n’est pas ma langue native ni ma deuxième langue. Néanmoins, je me souviens que j’ai créé cette plateforme en tant qu’une espace sûr. Cela veut dire que je peux partager ma voix sans être jugé. L’autre raison, j’essaie … Continue reading Une Brève Discussion sur Les Médias en Finlande

A Little Picture That Creates a Huge Impact on My Life and The Earth

The Mango tee is 100% organic cotton, the Pull & Bear jeans are eco-friendly, the River Island clap handbag is made ethically and the Aldo trainers are designed to last forever and despite all these sustainable pretexts along with the beautiful country-side that reminds me of England, the picture after all is not totally green. It is obvious, right there, on the left side of … Continue reading A Little Picture That Creates a Huge Impact on My Life and The Earth

Catastrophic Media: Mixed Signal From National Television Programme (As published on The Jakarta Post)

Indonesia is once again in mourning for a national comedian. Now, therefore, is a good time to scrutinise how the media covers deaths of famous figures like Olga Syahputra. A TV station recently began a new Bollywood-nuanced program. As an international relations graduate, I perceive the new show as an effort to boost business and cultural ties between Indonesia and India, which were booming at … Continue reading Catastrophic Media: Mixed Signal From National Television Programme (As published on The Jakarta Post)

The Ugly Truth about Indonesian Current Affairs Programme: Dealership-based E-commerce, an Innovation or a Drawback?

My dream that someday Indonesia will have a public service-oriented broadcaster, similar to BBC,  is seemed to be unlikely in the near future. The chances are television companies or media programmers in Indonesia chose to follow the common trend by dumbing-down their programme contents amidst the strong pressure of commercialisation. Regardless the ethos of a television company, profit-concern apparently becomes a determining factor in programming policy. … Continue reading The Ugly Truth about Indonesian Current Affairs Programme: Dealership-based E-commerce, an Innovation or a Drawback?

The Three Fractions of the Public’s News Preference (As published on The Jakarta Post)

When Allan Stuart reaffirmed that news from the streets will be favourable, I should have just agreed. Since it is disappointing to prove that, to some extent, mass media has succumbed to the public’s preference of news coverage. It was a pity to discover that the audience prefer to peruse bombastic headings with shallow content and popular events. It was also inevitable to observe that … Continue reading The Three Fractions of the Public’s News Preference (As published on The Jakarta Post)
