STEREOTYPING

Stereotyping is exaggerated generalized associated generalized associated with a categorizing system, they go beyond the facts at hand and make claims that usually have no valid basis. it is also something that most people find difficult to avoid from doing. what do you think ?

What is stereotyping?

actually this the first time for me heard about that. According to Human Communication forth edition, stereotyping is prejudgment that we make before we know any relevant facts or circumstances about a person or an event.  how the stereotyping related to our society and our thought. for a simple definition is we categorizes other people into a few group based on variety such as age, sex, race, occupation , appearance and physical abilities. 

Basically, stereotyping is something common that usually happened in our society in many years ago. it is something that we can to avoid it in our society. and so do i. Actually, our expectations and our interpretations of the behavior of others will be guided by these of perception. we observe, exaggerate and overestimate, how frequency they engage in the stereotyping we believe they hold behavior. I also make stereotype to other especially when i saw masculine guy. it will make my own conclusion that this type of men that masculine is soft guy. so, that i will isolate from this kind of people as i believe that they will be give bad influence to me. as we see that, that is we called as a stereotype based on the appearance. 

this kind of "perception" become more worst and i do believes that it will be more bigger if we do not prevent this problem quickly. i believes that stereotyping is something not truly right and true because it happened when we think negative to other people and accuse them without any concrete evidence. it will be make trouble when it can lead to  fight if we accuse 
to innocent people. 
even though, we can say that stereotype is unusual and familiar around us, but actually it is something that very common and give bad influence to our community. it is like a bad "virus" that will harm our community in slowly.  so i think that, we need to think before stereotype others people. 


PLEASE STOP STEREOTYPE TO OTHERS

Treat them as a normal person.

Read the newspaper excerpt dated 3 March 2013 taken from New Strait Times. you will write you opinion
 that as a response that will be sent to Viewpoint, a column where readers can share their thoughts. 

I had read an article that taken from New Straits Times that Prisoners to get varsity-level courses that published on 3 March 2013. This article is quite attract me to give my opinion about this topic. i think this idea is really brilliant and i'm totally agreed with this action. it is because prisoner also humans that have their own rights to live well in life. As for me, education is something that needed to us to get a better life in the future and same goes to them. Not all of them do not like to study, but maybe they do not chance to their ability and we need to give moral support to them . basically, mostly of them doing the crime because of money and they do not opportunity to prove their ability. Basically, most of prisoner can perform well in educational level or skill level and because of this "support" maybe can help them to have their own aim and goals to change their life style after they get  out from prison. 


 From my view this "support" can reduces the number of prisoners in prison because after they out from prison, they will never turn back again because they have their own ability to compete with others people. i truly believe that, their mind will be more open and they will think twice and carefully to commit crime after get out from there. i am quite attract with a statement which is 

"The Open University Malaysia has offered 10 scholarship in various fields to the prisoners". 

As we can see that, the person is comes out with this project is really brilliant because not all the people can think to do it. from this action, we can see that, The Prisoner Department is really looking forward  to help the prisoner to improve their life. 

Even though, The Prisoner Department take a good action to give moral support to prisoner but our citizen also need give moral support too. It is because mostly when we know someone that have bad background, we will have negative perception towards them. this not good to them because everyone makes mistake in life. so, we need to erase the negative perception toward them in order to give opportunity to them to change their life style. i would like to share with the readers a interesting quote 
"No matter how much you cry to it won't change you past . but crying over all you sins may improve your future". 






SeNiOr vs Mine


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

this entry i am gonna share about my expectation towards this subject which is Critical Literacy.
actually, last semester, i did ask to a few of my seniors about this subject. mostly they gives me the same advice and comment about this subject such as this subject is quite harder and need to think critically.
but only a person that claimed differently compared to others that quite attract me to take her advice and comment as a motivation.

me: sis, i wanna to ask you about Critical Literacy. what is your opinion about this subject?
senior : CL. haha. for me this subject is quite interesting and i love it.
me: interesting? why do you say that? mostly the senior claimed that CL is quite difficult subject in semester 4.
senior: difficult? for me CL is interesting because this subject can teach and help us how to think critically to solve the problem.then we will be able to apply in our life. for example this subject teach us how to choose only one side which is agree or not. we cannot be neutral and because of that, we can decide the solution quickly.



think?? CRITICAL LITERACY.. i need to think.!!!


based on what i heard from different senior and my early experience about this subject, it gives me a simple conclusion which is nothing impossible in our life if we do it in right way. what all the senior said about this subject is right which is this subject quite difficult and it needs you to read a lots such as articles and news. but i do believe that
 A MIRACLE APPEARS AFTER WORK HARD AND HOPES WILL BE HOPELESS WITHOUT EFFORT. 

so that,to make my dreams comes true, i need to be more harder in this subject compared others subject.

so, the first things i do is try to convince and change my mind set from negative to positive thinker.
then, i tries my best to focus in CL's class and how to be a critical thinker. now, even though, i can say that my experience is quite early, but for me. this subject is challenging and i love it.

i hope that, after mastered with this subject i will be a critical thinker that can stands with my own decision and opinion with a concrete evidence and analyzing.
