A leader’s legacy Tun Abdul Razak

Discuss whether or not Tunku Abdul Razak’s son, our current prime minister, Datuk Seri Najib is continuing his father’s legacy primarily in Affirmative Action policy.

From the video A Leader’s Legacy Tun Abdul Razak, I think that Tunku Abdul Razak’s son, Datuk Seri Najib is continuing his father’s legacy primarily in Affirmative Action policy. We know that Tun Abdul Razak had work very hard in making our country in peace especially when the tragedy of May 13, 1969 happened. He had taken a quick action in order to make those things became normal. After Tunku Abdul Rahman resigned from his position, Tun Abdul Razak had replaced the position.  He did so many things in making the nation more peace and developed. For example, he left his position in order to give the people to have the power in choosing the ruler as the way for Malaysia to become in peace was democracy. He also invited the opposition parties like Chinese and Indians parties to join under his party, Barisan Nasional. He launched the New Economic Policy (DEB) as a firm move towards safeguarding our future. Those were Tun Razak’s action in his time leading the country. Datuk Seri Najib also did the same like his father as he wanted to unite all races in Malaysia with his slogan, 1 Malaysia. There were lots of action taken in making this country peace and well-developed. Like father like son can be said to them as their thoughts were the same.      

Al-Jazeera 101 East: Malaysian Affirmative Action

Choose one of the 3 guests featured in the talk show 101 East. Then apply discourse analysis in order to understand his arguments. State whether you agree or not towards the proposition, premises and arguments that you can identified.

In the video Al-Jazeera 101 East: Malaysian Affirmative Action, I choose Azeem Farouk, political scientist from University of Science Malaysia. He said that New Economic Policy (NEB) was a good policy as it has ended in 1990. It has eradication from poverty and restructured the society. The strategies always be relevant regardless any whoever rules Malaysia or Penang, a universal policy and for social justice. I agree with his statement as the NEB actually reunited or restructured the society from making the bad tragedy May 13, 1969 happened again. Next, he said that policy has to be fine tune and implemented. So that it can benefit to everyone across the board. Political parties being an organization that seeks votes from society. They have to strategize and reenergize so that people will trust them. I agree with this statement as the policy has become a bond that unite the people where people can voice their opinions and whatever they feel. 

Ancient aliens – the evidence

State several evidence which support the ancient astronaut theory. Discuss whether you agree or disagree to the evidence that you have identified.

There are several evidences which can support the ancient astronaut theory. In this video Ancient Aliens – The evidence showed that the pharaohs drew the symbols that mean “I want to fly” and the archaelogists found the small sahara bird replica. They said that from the model, it gave the idea in making the planes. Then, the other evidence was the pyramids. They said that they used the technologies in making the pyramids. For me, I think that I disagree to the evidence that I had identified through the video. What I understand was these kind of evidence showed that the people who lived in that era became more developed as they thought how to build the large pyramids themselves where they had no machine at that time.

Super size me

Based on the facts presented in this documentary, are you convinced that the fast food is the main cause of obesity in United States and around the world.

Based on the facts presented in this documentary, I can convince that the fast food is the main cause of obesity in United States and around the world. If we can see in the first minute of the video, they are telling us about obesity trends among U.S. adults where there are about more than 25% of population obese in Mississippi on 2002. The example of fast food company are McDonalds, KFC, Wendy’s, Burger King, Dominos, Pizza Hut and others. People become attracted towards fast food because they can get the food faster and no need to struggle in the kitchen preparing the food. In this video, Morgan Spurlock want to prove that eating fast food can make us become obese and heading us to many dangerous diseases like heart problems, obesity, high blood pressure and even death. From a healthy person, Morgan changed to be an unhealthy person where he needed to eat super size McDonalds every day for a month. He had to face the problems where his heart getting double for failure and disease, massive headache, mood swings, always depressed and exhausted and fat liver. Doctors also said that fast food can’t be nutritious to human and lead to many diseases. What I can say that fast food is the main cause of obesity in United States and around the world.
