VIVA PRESENTATION

This presentation really exciting for me. It is because i can express my own thought to my classmate. i choose jewish and their deceit for my presentation. before this presentation, i need to do some research regarding Jewish. i support what Adolf Hitler had said. during my research, i had my own opinion towards Jewish. They are really unique for me. Not all of them are bad. they tend to become bad because of people all around the worlds hates them. it also make me realize that in this world human consist only two types which is bad and good. its not depend on their races, skin, religion or so on. i can answer all the question from the panelist accept fandi . he really expert then i can't answer him. but its okey. if not, it will not call as a learning process .=)
in my opinion, the best presenter for this presentation is Fatin Farhana. i choose her not because of she is my group members, but her effort towards this presentation. she keep practicing and consult with Sir mark. other than that, she manage to end his presentation on time. all the classmate understand and the most interesting part is her syllogism. she really keep practicing what Sir mark had teach us.

ISLAMOPHOBIA

did you ever heard about islamophobia? islamophobia means the fear or hatred of Islam, Muslims or Islamic culture. islamophobia can be characterized by the belief that all or most Muslims are religious fanatics, have violent tendencies toward non Muslims, and reject as directly apposed to Islam such concept as equality, tolerance and democracy.
this phobia occurs after 11 September incidence. They label Islam as a terrorist. they isolated Muslims all over the world especially in America. this incidence effect Muslims all over the world. most of them need to pretend that they are not Muslim in order to avoid from being killed or been prejudice from surrounding. lots of alternative had beeen taken to solve this matter. for example, America now try to build 'Masjid" at ground zero site. lots of peoples against the government because its like insult them to build Islamic center at the site. instead of that, film My Name is Khan is the best film to show how Muslim get lots of pressure after they declare they been attack by Islamic terrorist. in order to understand this matter deeply, watching this movie is the better way rather than interviewing others.

So Long Old Friend !

this title is interesting same goes to the article.this article is written by Sir mark. it tells about his life during he was teenage. Sir Mark using a really high imagination and lots of ideology in his writing. i feel really impress with his article. he really make me think critically to understand what is the story he wants to deliver. he use Alfred, Benson and Lucky to replace the cigarette names. if u are not aware with it, u will not understand what is the story all about. he use this article to teach us how to use discourse analysis. for example in paragraph one, he ask us to seek for thematic words and phrases. we select some words which is Rascals, Mischievous, stay the hell away, the name basis and long lecture. then, he also ask us to identify point of view which is concerned parents about the dangers of smoking. then he able to produce ideology which is smoking influences youngsters to perform negative behaviour. interesting right? i love the ways he explain about something in class. it enforce me to think logically and critically.

THE VALUE OF TELEVISION

this excerpt is about watching television cannot educate people is written by Paul Robinson. this is because television is for entertainment, not educate. besides that, education take two ways of communication. it is really different with education. Television gives the viewers numerous of information. The information sometimes is indecisive. Therefore, it is hard for the viewers too decide whether the information they get are fact or opinion from others. Information from television is hard to memorize. It is because it cannot repeat the scene if we are not focusing while watch it. Viewer also can remember the informative info for a while. Learning process takes places when they understand information, but not memorize it. Peoples cannot focus where there are requires two elements which is entertainment and education takes place. TV programmed will distract human mind when they try to learn something. Television is a matter of time and entertains, not educates. Instead of that,television programmed also contains lots of information at the same time. It’s blurry the viewer knowledge to grab which information they should keep in their mind. This situation pressure the viewer on how to memorize the information and peoples tends to make television as a reference in news, not learning process. ^_^

COMMENT ON MALAY AND THEIR HEREDITY

This article is written by Dr Mahathir Mohammad. He is 4th prime minister for Malaysia. In his article, he mention about Malay people behaviour and mind set. Dr Mahathir critise Malay because of weak student performance in their study. He state about several reasons why they weak in their study and its related with their own heredity. He state that Malay student weak in their study performance because their parents not accepting intermarriages, celibacy, and marrying at the early ages. all of this element produces a weak brain among Malay races.

in my own opinion, his idea can be accept but not at the whole. I think he just want to warn Malay race that they need to change their mind set if want to develop. About marrying at the early age, i'm not agree with him. It is because marrying at the early ages can help them prevent from social problem. nowadays, social problem among youth in Malaysia increasing a day by day. lots of abandoned baby case happen. Usually this baby death body identify as Malay. In order to avoid this worse situation happen again, they can married early.
