Ending :)

The end is around the corner. Feels just like only a few days of learning Critical Literacy. The semester breaks is near which around 4 weeks more to go. Time flies quick. I have nearly overcome my fear of learning Critical Literacy. As been told in my first entry which i have to learn two literature subject which is the Introduction to Tertiary Learning and Critical Literacy together.

By now, all the fright over these subject it had slowly decline and i will continue to learn about these literature subject. I thought at first it is hard to understand but with the help from friends and lecturer i was able to catch up and understand it step by step. Between Introduction of Tertiary Learning and Critical Literacy, it slightly hard on Critical Literacy because i had to be much more critical in understand the writers opinion and perception.

I think by learning this subject, it will enhance my critical thinking on someone and misjudge people by their outfit and their characteristic. Do some research or experience it by yourself than hearing and listen from peoples mouth. As being said in my entries " Not afraid of failing but be afraid of not trying".

Body, Mind and Spirit

"The body is the greatest possession, the mind is the greatest treasure, and the spirit is the greatest companion". By this words i am totally amazed by it. It gives the deepest meaning yet using a simple phrase to express it.

Most people may not aware of the meanings of the phrases but i think i do. The body is such a great possession for human beings as we tend to care and not to ruin it. We are given a pair of hands to touch, lift, write and many things that can be done. A pair of eyes and ears to watch the beautiful creation of the world and to listen to anything and many other parts of the body that the function that can not be known for sure. Without any of this part, we as human beings will face difficulties to go through our daily life.

Our mind is the most mysterious treasure that barely human beings can tell the capabilities of it. Our action and thought of something or doing something is all based on our mind. Its controlling all our action. it differs between human and animals. Human without mind is like going for a travel in the forest without any compasses in hand. Mind is where we save our memories and important info. For example a computer with a hard drive in it where all the files being kept in. This is the reason why the mind is the human greatest treasure.

As for the last point which is the spirit the greatest companion. I am totally agree with the statement. Every human has the spirit in them. Without spirit, we will lose our desire to play, speak, eat, drink, and even fall in love. A body without spirit is like lifeless body. With spirit, the desire to blend in will incline dramatically.

So that is why the phrases carrying big and great meaning. It is my opinion. I am open to accept other perspective and opinion.

Can Baby-Selling Provide Happiness?

Some of the people thinks that money is everything and everything can be bought and some who does not believed in that concept. As for me this ideology can not be accepted in human tradition. It is because it is illegal and brings many bad consequences. Selling a baby is not a legal action and it is just for the sake of giving the baby who are most likely the rich who cannot give birth while the poor who happen to be the same shoes suffer. Many cases about selling, smuggling and kidnapping baby happen just because of the profits that they can get by selling baby.

Stereotyping :(

Stereotyping is defined as an "oversimplified, usually pejorative, attitude people hold toward those outside one's own experience who are different. It means that we tend to separate them into categories based on individual.

In my head, the society itself cannot put away stereotyping. Sometimes people tend to stereotype almost everything and anything. Stereotyping have two types which is the negative side and positive one. Example for negative stereotyping is always said that a woman cannot do a job as good as men. But not all stereotype is for the negative part. It can be on the positive side which the example is Italian and French people are a good lover.

I always remind myself of avoiding stereotype people around whether it is negatively or positively. "Don't judge a book by its cover". Sometimes you need to accept others perception or opinion to be able to fully understand the actual situation. Always remember my dear friends, eyes and ears can sometimes be deceitful.

The Preface of Critical Literacy

My name is Muhammad Masqawiyah and now i am in Semester 4 in Diploma in English Communication which i will be taking subject Critical Literacy. To be truth, this subject is giving me goosebumps because in the previous semester i have already take almost the same subject as Critical Literacy which is Introduction to Tertiary Learning and i failed in that subject. In this semester i have to repeat the Introduction to Tertiary Learning paper and together with the new subject in semester 4 which is Critical Literacy. Most of the seniors shocked when they heard that i will be taking Introduction to Tertiary Learning and Critical Literacy together because there are both quite tough subjects. I was thinking that how am i supposed to handle this two tough subject together and pass with a flying colors. Then, i remember a quote from my teacher and my parents "Do not be afraid of failing but be afraid of not trying". So with that i really do hope that Critical Literacy will affect my consideration and understanding on others perception and belief.
