Rakyat dan Masyarakat

Kata rakyat dan masyarakat mempunyai makna yang mirip. Kata rakyat berkaitan dengan sebuah negara, sedangkan kata masyarakat berkenaan dengan kelompok sosial yang tinggal di suatu wilayah negara.

Di dalam Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia kata rakyat berarti 'segenap penduduk suatu negara, sedangkan masyarakat berarti 'sejumlah manusia yang terikat oleh suatu kebudayaan yang mereka anggap sama'.

Di dalam bahasa Inggris kata rakyat maknanya sama dengan kata people dan di dalam bahasa Belanda disamakan maknanya dengan kata volks. Padanan kata masyarakat di dalam bahasa Inggris adalah community. Makna kata itu berkaitan dengan adat-istiadat dan budaya yang sama, seperti dalam ungkapan masyarakat desa, yaitu kelompok sosial yang terikat oleh kesamaan tatanan dan tradisi serta pola hidup yang berlaku di lingkungan pedesaan.

Pembayaran AdSense Bisa melalui Western Union

Hello,

We're excited to introduce Western Union Quick Cash as a new payment method for Indonesia! Western Union Quick Cash is a new form of payment that lets you receive your AdSense payments in cash using the worldwide Western Union money transfer service. This payment method is quick, easy, and free.
Best of all, you'll no longer need to wait for checks to arrive in the mail or to clear at the bank.

Inilah bagian awal email yang saya terima dari Google AdSense kemarin. Sebuah kabar baik bagi para publisher AdSense di Indonesia. Kalau sebelumnya Google hanya membayar melalui cek yang pengurusannya sangat njlimet, makan waktu lama, dan biayanya mahal, sekarang sudah ada opsi pembayaran lain yaitu melalui Western Union. Dengan sistem pembayaran ini, uang bisa dicairkan dengan cepat di agen-agen Western Union berlogo tulisan warna kuning.

Untuk mengubah opsi pembayaran ke Western Union, caranya adalah sebagai berikut:

  • Login ke account Google AdSense Anda.
  • Klik My Account.
  • Pilih Account Setting.
  • Klik Edit pada Payment Details.
  • Pilih Western Union Quick Cash.

Mudah-mudahan, opsi sistem pembayaran baru yang diberlakukan bagi para publisher AdSense di Indonesia ini benar-benar akan mempermudah proses pembayaran. Bagi Anda yang pernah (atau pun berencana) menerima pembayaran Google AdSense melalui Western Union, silahkan berbagi pengetahuan dan pengalaman Anda dengan memberikan komentar di blog ini agar para pengunjung lain bisa mendapatkan manfaat berupa pengetahuan baru.
