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.

In your opinion, do you think Gandhi has failed in his life’s work which is to promote nonviolence reuniting the people of India?

In my opinion, I think Gandhi has not failed in his life’s work which is to promote nonviolence reuniting the people of India. He used nonviolence ways in order to get India become independence country. For example in the movie ‘Gandhi’, although he had been beaten by the British for not to burn the passes, he still doing it until he can. He also the one who persuade the citizen in the country that they have to monopoly the salt at the beach and can get it free rather than they need to buy the exported salt from British. He always reminded his people for not using violence in order to get the independence because he wanted British itself to give the independence. Although he had been a prisoner for a few times, he still has the courage to fight for the independence. He had fight for independence until his last breath.

Do you think Gandhi is responsible for the tragic end of his oldest son, Harilal?

In my opinion, I think that Gandhi is not the one who responsible for the tragic end of his oldest son, Harilal. I said so because everything was started from Harilal himself. First, about his marriage with Gulab. Actually Gandhi was not agree when Harilal said that he wanted to marry early.  He thought that Harilal could be his assistant at Ashram but after been persuaded by his wife, then, he gave his permission to Harilal. After that, Harilal family became larger as they got 4 children. Then, Gulab died after his daughter, Shanti died because of cholera. He became suffer in his life when he cannot accept the truth about the death of his wife. Second, the tragic moment in Harilal’s life happened when Harilal didn’t got the job that he wanted the most which was he wanted to become like his father, a barrister. He thought that his father was the one that could be blamed about his education.

Sherlock Holmes : A Study In Pink

Do you think Sherlock is an empathic character? Why?

I think that Sherlock is an emphatic character. This is because when he wanted to solve the strange series deaths where it involved Jeffery Patterson, Beth Davenport,James Phillip, and Jennifer Wilson. Those 4 people were dead just because of same thing which were the pills that they got from the taxi driver.

In solving the case, Sherlock went to the crime scene which Jennifer Wilson was found dead. He tried to find any clue by looking at the body and the floor where Jennifer scratched the word 'rache' by using her left-hand nails. Then, Sherlock ignore the suggestion from Anderson about the meaning of 'rache' was revenge but actually 'rachel' that she died before finished scratched the word.

Sherlock tried to find her suitcase where he assumed that she was out from town. Then, he found the pink case that belong to Jennifer and started to find the missing thing which was her phone. He tried to assume how the phone can be missing from Jennifer and suddenly he realized that Jennifer left her phone so that could be a clue for them to find the murderer.

After that, he told John to send a message to Jennifer's phone in order to know if the murderer had the phone. Sherlock told John to read the email written on the suitcase so that he can tracked the phone by using the GPS. Suddenly John found that the phone actually was tracked in the house and only Sherlock found out about it. He saw the taxi driver who came to his house hold the phone that they were searching.

The  taxi driver confessed to Sherlock that he was the one that involved in the series deaths but not him whom killed them.

Test Your Brain Documentary

Describe several eureka moments that you have experienced throughout watching the documentary.

There are several eureka moments that I have experienced throughout watching the documentary. First, when 6 different poker cards were showing, the audiences started to remember their selection cards. After that, when 5 poker cards were showing for second time, there were none cards that being selected by the audiences. Actually the audiences realized that the cards were showing not same for fist and second time. This was the eureka moments happened.

Next, for first game, where Apollo Robins showed some magic by using money. The audiences actually don't realized about the differences between the backgrounds, the hat that he wore, the handkerchief and also the table. Then, the audiences realized the changes when they told about the changes and the eureka moments happened.

 For game 2, the audiences need to find the changes for the images. For first images, there were easy to know but for second images, there were difficult to know. This was because of blink image and harder to find the changes. This is how actually the mind works and the eureka moments happened when the truth being revealed.

For game 3,  the counter for television sign up event was opened and people who wanted to sign up actually didn't realized about the person they met before and after they got the pen. If I was there, maybe I couldn't notice the changes like the rest of them.

Lastly, the part when Apollo Robins picked up 4 things from the man which are the scarf, handkerchief, handphone and also the wallet. Actually the man didn't realized it until Apollo told him about what he had lost.

For conclusion, we as human beings have the extraordinary brain that has multiple usefulness in thinking. So, by having the eureka moments, the brain actually started to function about how it is going like that.
