Black Market Babies

 In this cruel world, many people are willing to do anything to get money. They act based on their violent feelings without mercy. When I was child, I always thought that money can buy everything. I believe that money cannot buy happiness. Happiness is a feeling we find within our own selves as human beings. An object should not be able to define that happiness. I feel that an object can make a person happy for the moment but happiness is for a lifetime. If money can buy someone’s happiness I feel that, that is not true happiness. 

Baby selling to the black market should be stopped. It can consider as human trafficking. There are also married couples who sell their baby due to financial problems or something else. They cannot do that. There are many right ways to do such as give it to hospital or people that want that baby. 

Besides that, there is a negative risks of black market babies. We do not know where they come from and who is their parents. This incident can be considered as a steal because we do not know the parents of these babies. 

In conclusion, this bad activity should be stopped immediately. The babies should have fully care by their parents.

Body, Mind and Spirit

Body is the great possession because it plays an important roles in our lives. We able to do anything with this body like working, dancing, cooking and etc. So, it is our duty to keep the body in good health. You cannot have a healthy mind without having a healthy body. A healthy mind and a healthy to body go together. That is why body is very important to us and called the greatest possession.

Is mins the greatest treasure? Yes, the mind is the greatest treasure worth far than gold. The mind plays an important role in achieving every success and goal. By controlling your mind with control the thought you think, the word you speak and your attitude, you can have and be anything you want. Because your life pretty much reflects the decision you have made.  Good mind, right decision, better life. That's the greatest treasure.

The spirit is the greatest companion. It parts of a person that is the seats of emotion and character. Having a healthy spiritual does not always have to be related to religion. A good spirit creates a good person. Meditation is one of the ways to balance the spirit as well as the soul to decrease stress and improve physical stress. If you keep three important parts of your life balance, mind, body and spirit, you will achieve a good life.

Stereotyping.

Stereotyping and human cannot be separated. It seems to have become a daily routine for people who always think negative. Stereotyping and first impression are different. People tend to judge someone by looking it at first time. Example, if we see someone in untidy clothes, we call she/he is lazy. This is first impression. For stereotyping, basically it happens when a group or societies agree about something. Example, Chinese are rich and smart.  How does stereotyping works? The answer is, it based on age, sex, race, sexual orientation, occupation and physical abilities.

From my observation, I can say that stereotyping is really hard to avoid. It is true that some stereotypes bring positive meaning. But, how about if it brings negative meaning?  However, this bad habit can be stopped if we know the right way. First, let people in. Get to know them if you are wondering about someone that seems a bit out of sorts. Say hello and start to contact with them. 

Besides that, throw away our negative mind. When we see a black people, what comes to our mind? Are they gangster? Or drug dealer? When you see something that causes you to make an automatic assumption about them, take a moment and think positive. Find something about them that is wonderful.

There are many bad habits that we can see in society nowadays such as stereotype, ethnocentrism, prejudice and many more. We should know how these bad habits work and avoid it. The most important thing, just be yourself. 

How I view Critical Literacy now?

After a few months learning Critical Literacy, what I can say about this subject is its really challenging. I can admit it is really hard than Literature Appreciation because not only to think deeper but I must find an evidence to prove every answer. This subject makes my reading and writing skill improved because I have to read many articles or text due to my assignments.

Even this is a new subject to me, but I think this subject will be easier if we focus in the class and have a lot of reading. The test also was hard and the assignments are tricky. It needs an effort and full attention to the task given.

The most important thing, do not doing assignments in last minutes because it will makes you fail. Trust me. Student should do the assignments given early and come to the consultation if they do not understand about the assignment. Do not shy to ask your lecturers about this subject. That is their responsibilities to make student able to understand it

So, to be honestly, this subject actually is fun and we can get many benefits by learning it. It is true that Critical Literacy is hard, but if you start learning it, you will love it.

Expectation and hope for Critical Literacy's subject

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone. For this first entry, I am going to talk about critical literacy. Before this, I never heard about Critical Literacy’s subject and do not know anything about it. But, when I was in semester 3, I heard many comments and grievances from seniors and they said this subject is really challenging and not easy to score. So, I started to spent more time with them and always talk about this subject.

Now, I am in semester 4 and taking this subject. First, I thought this subject was same like Literature Appreciation that I took in semester 3 but it is totally different.  This subject makes my brain to think out of the box and after that, I started to understand this subject slowly by doing discussion and tasks given with my friends. I am struggling to finish the assignments given and sometimes I have to sacrifice my sleep time. The first assignment that was given to me is “Rules of 10”. This task really makes me become crazy and I think, this is the worst assignment ever I did.

As just started learning this subject, I hope at the end of semester, I will pass it with an excellent result and will implement it into my life. My expectation and hopes for this subject that I will try to finish it without repeating the same subject in next semester. Do not also forget to thanks to my lecturer, Madam Zariati for teach us until we understand and all my friends, together weathered this killer subject.
