States had tremendous natural resources that

valuable in the manufacture of machinery,
operated (mengoperasikan)
transportation facilities, and consumer goods
lay ready to be worked into wealth. Iron, coal,
and oil-the basic ingredients of industrial
growth-were plentiful and needed only the
application of technical expertise,
organizational skill, and labor.
One crucial development in this movement
toward industrialization was the growth of the
railroads. The railway network expanded
rapidly until the railroad map of the United
States looked like a spider’s web, with the steel
filaments connecting all important sources of
raw materials, their places of manufacture, and
their centers of distribution. The railroads
contributed to the industrial growth not only
by connecting these major centers, but also by
themselves consuming enormous amounts of
fuel, iron, and coal.
Many factors influenced emerging modes of
production. For example, machine tools, the
tools used to make goods, were steadily
improved in the latter part of the nineteenth
century-always with an eye to speedier
production and lower unit costs. The products
of the factories were rapidly absorbed by the
growing cities that sheltered the workers and
the distributors. The increased urban
population was nourished by the increased
farm production that, in turn, was made more
productive by the use of the new farm
machinery. American agricultural production
kept up with the urban demand and still had
surpluses for sale to the industrial centers of
Europe.
The labor that ran the factories and built the
railways was recruited in part from American
farm areas where people were being displaced
by farm machinery, in part from Asia, and in
part from Europe. Europe now began to send
tides of immigrants from eastern and southern
Europe-most of whom were originally poor
farmers but who settled in American industrial
cities. The money to finance this tremendous
expansion of the American economy still came
from European financiers for the most part, but
the Americans were approaching the day when
their expansion could be financed in their own
“money market.”

The third demands a natural environment in
Jawaban yang tepat adalah opsi D
which self-development can be expressed and
observed. Montessori believed that the school
could be made into such an environment, thus
becoming a laboratory for scientific pedagogy.
This environment should be determined
scientifically. In order to expand, children, left
at liberty to exercise their activities, ought to
find in their surroundings something organized
in direct relation to the children's internal
organization. All of these principles imply the
next, which Montessori calls the "biological
concept of liberty in pedagogy": the child must
be free to act spontaneously and to interact
with the prepared environment. The entire
program is concerned with the individual child;
the spontaneity, the needs, the observation,
the freedom are always those of the individual.
Finally, the modus operandi of the method is

the center of the last of these concentric
squares are three temples decorated with
reliefs illustrating the epic of the Ramayana,
dedicated to the three great Hindu divinities
(Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma) and three temples
dedicated to the animals who serve them.
Prambanan Temple Compounds consist of
Prambanan Temple (also called Loro
Jonggrang), Sewu Temple, Bubrah Temple, and
Lumbung Temple. Prambanan Temple itself is a
complex consisting of 240 temples. All the
mentioned temples form the Prambanan
Archaeological Park and were built during the
heyday of Sailendra’s powerful dynasty in Java
in the 8th century AD. These compounds are
located on the border between the two
provinces of Yogyakarta and Central Java on
Java Island.
While Loro Jonggrang, dating from the 9th
century, is a brilliant example of Hindu
religious bas-reliefs, Sewu, with its four pairs
of Dwarapala giant statues, is Indonesia’s
largest Buddhist complex including the
 temples of Lumbung, Bubrah, and Asu (Gana
temple). The Hindu temples are decorated
with reliefs illustrating the Indonesian version
of the Ramayana epic which are masterpieces
of stone carvings. These are surrounded by
hundreds of shrines that have been arranged
in three parts showing high levels of stone
building technology and architecture from the
8th century AD in Java. With over 500
temples, Prambanan Temple Compounds
represents not only an architectural and
cultural treasure but also a standing proof of
past religious peaceful cohabitation.
