Drug N Guns

From the drug and guns articles, it really shows me the reality of the outside countries and what is really happening there. After I have go through with this readings, I founds that this issues is really interesting. This is because arguments presented by the text author are identified, and the ways in which he supports these arguments are evaluated. Clearly, the writer stance is negative. This is because there are insufficient resources to administer the drug on a national basis and it has confirmed that AIDS is indeed the country’s leading killer. But most of all, the president of Africa itself is very irresponsible. He can be very rich and having everything because of the illegal drugs and guns smuggling. While his people of the country is suffering due to disease and other thing. There many corruption happening in the South Africa too.

The effect on readers is likely to be negative towards the passage. This is because the government had been done something to the society and the society had difficult to accept the new environment in their society. In addition, Mbeki’s also been the controversional issues due to his slowness to acts about the drugs addict in the country. The government willing to sell the drugs in a society in order to buy the guns until missed their responsibilities to take care their people’s health. In addition the guns are not vital in use in the society and the health of the people is very important and it represents the leadership of the country. The visual aspects of the text are significant because it shows whether the article is important or not. There is less white space left which shows that the article is important and the headline is bolded because the writer wanted to stress about the issue in the article. These article also will attract the readers when they bolded the headline and make the catchy headline and this article also was divided in 3 section that shows there is lot information to be share with the readers. The pictures shows the connection between the article when a man with a luxurious car and also together with the Mbeki’s picture that people critics his slowness to act.

Reflection on Dieting

After finishing analyzes the article of the Dieting, it really gives me big impact to me especially in the way of dieting nowadays. People nowadays tend to do anything to get the body type that they want until willing to do a liposuctions to expel the facts that do not needed. When people who faced the overweight problems, they will get stressed and they do not know with that, their weight will extremely increased more than normal.

Many people believe, the best way to get back their body figures by do not eating at all, imagine if they do not eat anything, how the body want to get the energy and proteins? Does, it will also effects the other system failure of the body. Mostly for the women, they are really particular about their weight, when they didn’t get in with the pans or skirts, they will bloody idiot with the shape that they have and tend to not eating anything until get their body back. Majority the women who are really concern about the health will take place with this situation but not for a man. Life begins at 40 and the new day has come in their life. They are really big contra in women body compare to man when they reached at 40. Mostly, man at 40 will be more masculine but not with the women after delivered the baby. They will increase double than usual and at that time, they will feel they are not precious to their husband at all.
With that, the women tend to do anything includes aerobics, yoga and also with the liposuctions. They do not realize with that, they are closed with the death with the simple mistakes. With that, do not do anything with your body until will suffered entire of your life and from my opinion, eat whatever you want, taste anything do you think attract you but need to know also, the body cannot support all the nutrients that you download in your body.

Metaphor.

It will be the last group to do the presentations from the reading of Critical literacy. Time has began so fast until I did not realize that now it almost for my mid term break! I so excited to come home together with my families and do what I want there.
Back to our business, last group will presents about the topic “Metaphor” that presented by Farah, Fidah and Izzayati. Based from their presentation or explanations, I as the students and the viewers can adapt their skills of explanations to my life. For example, Fidah got a talent to become a teacher when her explanation really attract my attraction when she gives the full meaning if what is metaphor is all about. Metaphor plays a key role in enabling us to talk about and constructs the world and allows language users the flexibility to cope with rapidly changing circumstances. It is not merely a device occasionally employed by poet but facilities communications throughout the language.
The effects of metaphor in language on the readers and the interest and motivations which leads to the use of certain metaphors. It also included detailed analysis of the role of metaphor in the discourse associated with nuclear weapons or nukespeak.
Overall they have done their own part very good

TYPES OF EXPOSITIONS: PERSUADING THAT AND PERSUADING TO

There go for another two groups left. One of them is Anis’s Group who took place in that chapter. When it become to Anis turn, the volume will decrease automatically and do not know what happen to them.
In this chapter and based on their presentations, it focusing on characteristic features of those texts is that they attempt to justify something, to provide reasons to support some thesis. There are two types of identifies and there are analytical and hortatory expositions. The former attempt to persuade the recipient that something is true while the later try to persuade the recipients to do something.
After identified the different types of expositions, we can manage to examine how the producers of expositions employ reasoning, personality and metaphor to achieve the ends. Overall from their presentations, I quite understand from the way they delivered and conduct the presentations. If I not mistaken, they did not come out with any critical issues and forgive me if I’m wrong.

CROOKED AND FALLACIOUS THINKING

Another week with a new group of presentation. That what I like about this subject and also its lecturer itself Madam Ros. This week we have been presented by Shad’s group about the crooked and fallacious thinking.

First of all I quite blur about the topics when I cannot make it to read the topics first a day before the presentation. But with the collaborations with Shad’s group, it makes we understand very well due to the topic. This chapter is not only evidence of illogical mental processes and poor communication skills but is also a manipulative tool in the hands of speakers and writers wishing to influences and affect the judgment of the listeners and readers. Hence, the context where there is an intent to persuade someone towards particular belief or course of action and it also included a course on critical literacy itself.

Based on their presentation, we as the readers quite understand but if they come out with the critical issues, it could be nice. Thanks a lot.

STATISTICS.

There is another group that presented on the same day as Tenkujoh’s group. There are Liyana and Aqilah that presented about the Statistics. What make me funny about them is with both characteristic that almost the same. It become worst when Aqilah nervous before the presentation and need to go to toilet. Same goes to Liyana, after aqilah came in, she automatically stand up and went to the toilet.
Statistic got two meaning, first is refer the information about any phenomenon or activity expressed in numerical form such as vital statistics, college enrolment figures and opinion poll percentages. Another meaning for statistic is when it denotes the art and science of collecting, presenting, analyzing and interpreting numerical data. Liyana and Aqilah are the best pair woks ever after when both of them can work even though in hard situation. Aqilah knows her point and know how to deliver the presentation to make the viewers into their mind. From their presentation, it makes me like hit by dizzy spell when I heard about the topic itself “statistic” and it make me afraid if I need to learn the calculation or mathematics at diploma level. I don’t want to face it anymore….
They put very high effort to the presentation; instead of tend a high mark during presentation but also they tend to adapt the knowledge to their selves and also to the others. Overall, from their presentation, I totally love statistic until I can’t wait to take it for my degree level. From the reading, basically the statistic is been used in business term or business filed in order to present their profits. According to Shakespeare, just as the devil can cite Scripture for his purpose, people with vested interest may enforce figures to serve their ends. For instance, abound with misleading statistical statements and reports such as those which begin with “statistics prove that…..”.
