"The ending somehow the beginning"

Assalamualaikum

Five People Meets in Heaven has quoted “The ending would sometimes being as the beginning of life.” This portrays the ending is actually the starting point of new life. Critical Literacy has come to and end yet, the knowledge gained is forever. The syllabus nowadays normally just as a prerequisite towards the better academic result however would never inculcate the student to be a holistic high achiever if the critical literacy component is not included. It is absolute need to aware the student regardless of level of study and institutions to be critical thinker in viewing idea which finally shape the new generation a futuristic ones.

The subject has introduced me to be very meticulous in order to digest statement and any information I read. It is not to be a perfectionist however the phenomena where everyone can simply write and influence people, Critical Literacy has woken up the students to look both sides of evaluation. Not to be judgmental and biased with what has been served would certainly shift the way of thinking among the young people to get full details before make an action, to be a detailed observer.

Since there is lots of rumors spreading virally in the stream of technology advancement, again the young people should be thought to be a person with own stand in order to make them strong in the right track of life. The beginning of life would never be sincere to show which one is true and the false unless the student or young people to be exact need to read multiple sources to attain the right facts, to listen to evidence actively and blend with her or his thought for a good view.

It brings the sense of you are responsible of what you are saying and lead the student to become a professional ones someday. For the betterment, I hope the approach of better way of thinking and make a sensible action in your life besides, the lecturer also know what Critical Literacy is all about . I really enjoy the lesson in class and I am becoming aware the need to be cautious of what I am going to read in daily life-find the worthiness of facts. Finally, I really hope the CL syllabus would be continuously taught in class in order to ensure student are packed with the professional criteria for a competitive marketplace in the near future.

That's all from me for Critical Literacy

See you again

Asta la vista.. Assalamualaikum

Lack of Empathy?

Assalamualaikum everyone

In the response of voice out by Syed Umar Ariff regarding the issue of Nik Aziz and Hadi statement of BR1M by likening the recipients as an animal portrayed a serious sense of anger from the writer. The writer believes that Nik Aziz and Hadi statement are harsh and rude to be used as he is a renowned leader as those people who promote Islamic qualities in real life. I agree with the statement saying that the leader should not using the harsh words to the public as stated by Peter Ducker “Management is doing things right, leadership is doing the right things” however, I do believe Nik Aziz does not mean that way.

It is true that to likening the recipients as animals to object the government should not be applied since Malaysians are very sensitive in term of wordings in speech especially when it comes from a pious public figure in Malaysia. However Malaysia should research the exact meaning and full statement from him in order to judge him. This does not bring the mean I am defending him as I admit BR1M is likely helping the citizen to curb with the critical economic instability that lead to high living cost. According to Syed Umar response too, he oftenly refer Nik Aziz and Hadi statement as lack of emphaty in a  harsh way where he likely to be biased and to persuade people to object Nik Aziz statement.

The issue of lack of emphaty is not a big matter to be highlighted instead. It is how the government took an action plan where helping by giving money at the end would not really help Malaysians to shift the status of life. It is what Chinese proverb has said , “Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Again I am not objecting what did government do but sometimes the action plan is not really appropriate to change the Malaysians to be responsible to improve their life especially Malays, the owner of this land.

Last but not least, it is essential to consider the media who might having ploy with any party in order to persuade people to condemn Nik Aziz and Hadi’s lack of emphaty as both of them are from the opposition. It is a possibility if any third party who would create havoc between the politician to interrupt the peace and harmony in Malaysia. As I have said , Nik Aziz might has been delivered the different meaning -Kelantanese way of criticize people in old version which sometimes bring the sense of sarcasm but interpreted as being rude due to the slang use as the disparity between district mother tongue would differentiate the real message.

In a conclusion, it is how Malaysians should look thoroughly to any statement given by the public figure whether it is from the government party or the opposition as people would make mistake. It is normal to see any party give different point of view but how the people digest the word is important in spite of the reality of human being would have own thought, Nik Aziz and Hadi too should learn more to not be too direct as some people would misjudge the exact code.

Assalamualaikum and have a nice day!

Dire need for English to be a must-pass subject

Assalamualaikum and every good evening to all.

This entry would be my response towards the excerpt of a newspaper dated 25th February 2013 which was published in New Straits Times by Lavanya Lingan titled "Dire need for English to be a must-pass subject". 

The writer believes that English is imperative subject in order to make a change towards the educational status in Malaysia. It is an initiative to inculcate a better generation of Malaysia which is English is a medium and the new benchmark to be achieved. Yet, the writer highlights the question whether we are ready to realise the dream. Setting a new goal in our educational system need to consider a lot of things. Datuk Ali Hassan himself brings the idea of English as a must-pass subject still requires a lot of planning and preparations therefore, the upcoming results upon the student is promising.

A former teacher, Lee Mei Ling, 44 also commented that the new idea would put Malaysia as one of the famous education centre to study. It is how people would see Malaysia as an influential country when the new system of English be the must-pass subject in Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) as improving English subject is not a simple job, it needs a hard working, effective action plans towards make it true. I would that in the next future, if the idea is implemented, Malaysia would born a huge number of professionals in any intellectual fields.

English language, a global language understand by millions of people worldwide.

However, the new idea still need to go a research and development to ensure the feedback given is positive. It is true when a parent commented (Fawziah Mohd Shahar, 42) English is a crucial subject when student learn in tertiary level. Every thing needs student to understand how English works in assignments, tasks and even the lecture in universities are mostly in English. Therefore, mastering English subject should be boosted and enhanced from the early beginning as making it a compulsory subject to be passed by students.

Apart being a futuristic in order to make the Malaysia generations is competent enough to play the game in real life , we should not neglect the mother tongue of Malaysia where Bahasa Malaysia is equally vital to be mastered. It is how to promote Malaysia to be excellence in many ways and not to forget their root as Malaysians.

Thanks for your time and let's make the change towards a better nation.

Women behind the wheels??

Assalamualaikum and very good evening to all

So what am I going to discuss about in this entry?

Haa it is all about the stereotyping of women where they are judged to be reckless, no skill and nuts drivers.

So the question is:

Stereotyping is exaggerated generalization associated with categorizing system, they go beyond facts at hand and make claim that usually have no valid basis. However, it is also something that most people find difficult to avoid from doing. So, let's explore your sense of tendency to make generalization by expanding the following statement:

women shouldn't be behind wheel...

But before we narrow down the scope, what is actually stereotyping?

Oxford Dictionary 8^th Edition for Advanced Learners said stereotyping is a fixed idea or image that many people have of a particular type of person or thing, but which is often not true in reality.

As part of the society,I would disagree when woman is labelled in such annoying way when every single problems arise on road and many people would pinpoint the issue to women as the problem creator.

Therefore, what are we going to response to this stereotype?

Let's watch this video first..

                           

So how is it? This does not mean I am stereotyping towards the women as I am a girl too. Even though I admit that women are actually ignorant, reckless and drive with no sense; but women too,are human being. Normally people love to be sarcastic as a way to advice the women to drive well on the road but sarcasm could not work to help women to be behind wheel and yes, this video is actually promoting the stereotyping towards women as a nuts drivers.

It is based on the individual to see different things different. If we love to put the blame to women in terms of driving on the road, we can't simply put the wrong label. It is because there are also women drivers which are excellent in driving. It is not how the women create the problem but give them a chance to learn like what has been done in Afghanistan where women is educated to be behind the wheels. Another sample to put women on high status in driving is through campaign like Salute to Women, where they help women to be master in driving. (You may refer to this article for further information - http://www.salute2women.com/). Yet, it shows us that the world is promoting towards better female drivers!

Putting label is not a solution as it will create the sense of competing the opposite sex in particular issue. This would never get woman and man at peace as both are totally different physical, mentally and psychologically. Thus, putting blame and being stereotype would not help woman to improve their driving skill. I cannot deny with the fact posted by a website, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2012188/Women-drivers-ARE-dangerous-wheel-scientists-discover.html, it showed that women contributed more to the statistics of accidents but I believe men also make mistakes. I review thess facts actually promote the sensitivity of condemning women behind the wheels too.

The phenomena of stereotyping would also prevent the harmonious mood on the road when there are people who stick to this stereotype and easily get argue when there is small problem. For instance, a day a wife drives to school with her husband and she forgot put on the signal to drop by their kids to school the wife do not know how to park when the arrived the school compound. The family would get into a problem, the husband and wife would get on the nerve while driving and this makes their children perceived that their parents are actually not a loving married couple. Thus, the kid will finally affected to escapism as they refuse to listen to the problem faced by the parents everyday and prefer to go to school by themselves. This would lead them to social ills where they would find the family is problematic . This situation seems far from the topic given but this is reality in our live where a broken home could start from the small matter like being stereotyping towards partner.

Therefore I really hope that someday people would not judge the driving style by women  heartlessly. It is about how the community should work together to make change to the better not condemning them. It is also give positive values to all if the women are thought and advocated on driving not to be the perfect one but improve the lacking part, the flaws; which finally make the road a safe place to drive by all.

So, let's make changes for women to be a professional drivers too :D

Welcome on Board to Critical Literacy - The Expectation

Assalamualaikum and good evening again!!

Writing at the peak of the night when people knit their eyes to sink in the dreams~~

Ok let's be serious with the task

I have received a task and the question is:

You heard comments and maybe grievances from your seniors about Crtitical Literacy, but what is/are your expectation (s) or hope for this subject as you are just started.

I have heard the subject previously from the senior. Some of them encode it to a tough subject to scored and there are also lots of people inspire me that the subject is exciting.

In my opinion, Critical Literacy is how students would see what the real word is all about, how the problems or incidents happen, why the matters arise and the response they can give once they have digested the input.

Basically it is all about facts and to gain facts you need to READ!

Therefore, I forecast Critical Literacy would mature my thought soon, the way I view things as what people always highlight ~~ THINK OUTSIDE YOUR BOX.. and this would totally makes me to be a well-educated generation with professional perspectives! 

I would see that some day I will be someone with lots of facts, a person who love to argue any matter ethically, someone who would love to read magazines with a pile of facts - TIME and an individual who would rise up and voice out matter not solely from the anger, it would be supported with concrete reasons packed with strategic way of delivery.

Yeah the syllabus is actually brought the objective to make MARA student a competence one.

I feel that tomorrow after a semester of CL I can easily meet people and discuss about what I have learned with them and with professionals too. The ideas would blend me to people who have more knowledge and indirectly educate me to be better from time to time.

This would surely need a hard work, committment and struggle besides, the unlimited passion which finally assisst the journey to an A for the subject and in the future it seems to bring me up to the peak of excellence, insya Allah.

Whatever happens, hardships, a diverged road, a freezing moment that would sink people to death, I would never step back from Critical Literacy, may Allah bless this travelogues to the hall of fame.

Let's make the flat a dream come true history.
