The Houses of the Toraja

The ethnic groups in the mountain regions of southwest and central Sulawesi (Celebes) are
known by the name of Toraja, which has come to mean “those who live upstream” or “those who live
in the mountains”. Their name is in fact derived from the word Raja, which in Sanskrit means "king".
The society is hierarchically structured: the noblemen are called rengnge, the ordinary people to
makaka, and the slaves to kaunan: birth determines which rank a person will occupy.
The distinctive features of the traditional houses (tongkonan) of the Toraja are the "buffalo
horns", the roof design and The rich decoration on the wall. The buffalo is a symbol of status,
courage, strength and fighting spirit.
Designed as a representation of the universe, the tongkonan is constructed in three parts: the
upper world (the roof), the world of humans (the middle of the building), and the underworld (the
space under the floor). The highly distinctive roofs constructed by the Toraja have given rise to
various ingenious interpretations. Certainly the roof is something of deep significance for the Toraja,
and even today they build "modem" (in other words houses built with cement) houses with such
roofs.

The living and nonliving things in any area form a community that are called ecosystem. They
act on one another in many ways. Two of the most important ways are through food chains and
chemical cycles.
Life could not exist without energy from the sun. The sun's energy travels to earth as light. It
affects plants and animals through chemical processes. All plants and animals are linked together in
these processes. The sun's energy flows through all of them in a continuing path called a food chain.
Plants-eating animals or herbivores consume (eat) the plants. In their own bodies, these animals
reorganize the chemical in the plants and use them as nourishment. The same thing happens when a
meat-eating animal or carnivore, such as a fox, eats a plant-eating animal, such as rabbit (animals that
eat both plants and meat are called omnivore).
A certain process takes place when living things die. Bacteria and fungi break the chemical
compounds down into simple nutrients. This process is called decomposition. The nutrients from
decaying animals enter the soil, where plants use them again.
Thousand of years ago, the human population was much smaller than it is today and people did

not greatly affect the balance of nature. Several hundred people who lived as community of hunters
did not kill enough animals to disturb the balance of their ecosystem. A few thousand people who
lived by a river, and discarded waste did not pollute the water enough to change the ecosystem.
Today the human population is enormous. And people have created many ecological crises,
especially in areas where the population has grown quickly. Their demand for space, their production
of waste, and their need for quantities of food, water, and energy, all have had an important effect on
natural system. Very often, the activities of people have upset the natural balance.

The increasing employment of Indonesian women workers comes mostly from middle-and-upper-
income families. This is because many of them have got higher education. Today more than half of
all women college graduates are employed, compared to four out often high school graduates, three
out often elementary school graduates, and only two out often among those with less than grade five
in school.
Most of the working girls in the 1980s were unskilled, but today's working women have
considerably more education than those who do not work. Among the working women only three
fourths are high school graduates and less than 10 percent have not been to high school at all. Most
well educated middle class working women hold white collar or professional jobs. Although many
other kinds of work are offered to college-graduated women, clerical work and teaching are mostly
preferred. About three fifths of the girls who are graduated from high schools take clerical jobs.

The Three Sheiks and Queen of Arabia

Maura, who liked to be thought of as the most beautiful and powerful queen or Arabia had many
suitors. One by one she discarded them, until her list was reduced to just three sheiks, all equally
young and handsome, rich and strong. It was very hard to decide who would be the best of them.
One evening, Maura disguised herself and went to the camp of the three sheiks, as they were
about to have dinner, and asked them for something to eat.
The first gave her some leftover food; the second gave her some unappetizing camel’s tail; the
third sheik who was called Hakim, offered her some of the most tender and tasty meat. After dinner,
the disguised queen left the sheiks’ camp.
The following day the queen invited the three sheiks to dinner at her palace. She ordered her
servants to give each one exactly what they had given her the evening before.
Hakim, who received a plate of delicious meat, refused to eat it if the other two could not share it
with him, and this act finally convinces Queen Maura that he was the man for her.

sheiks.” So it is Hakim I will marry.”
