This blog is dedicated to the subject COM 2533 Critical Literacy. Everything that I posted here is based on what I learned from the subject, and my understanding of the subject.
Everyone has their own dark side of their selves. Well, since we are humans, envy and jealousy are a part of our life. From the article, I can understand the writer's resentment towards the late Steve Jobs. However, I think most of what he writes is based on his own personal feelings. Sure, I know he had an abrasive personality, but didn't the writer think that the abrasive personality is what makes the technology we see today? Without his unapologetic brutality, the technology advancements would not be so much better. Although many people had bad memories about him, he still strives to make for better or worse for these people.
Without him, there's no technology advancements.
Apple's invention and Innovation
Well, I got to admit, even though he made a great
contribution to the technology world, he himself made a controversy to his
daily life, where he prioritize his technology more so than his own daughter. Even
though he is a control freak, I personally think that it is a good thing. He
believed himself to be right rather than the customer. Even if consumer might
be protested against him, but I, as a consumer will stood for him. Why?
Because, I think by being true to your own intuition, we can get the final product taht is much better. many people seems unsatisfied with his "control freak" personality. To me,by being a control freak, it is what that
made one’s achievement great. His perfectionist side is also what made his
inventions seems flawless. He introduced many updates and security measures
that made the Apple Company well known for its products.
Even though Steve Jobs had many flaws in his life, he
strives to make a better technology for the future generations. All of you who
condemned him, should let it all go. He has passed to another life, talking
about his mistakes won’t change anything. Let him rest in peace. Nobody is perfect.
From the article Jews and their deceits, written by Adolf
Hitler, I found that the article amusing. Adolf Hitler is considered to be the
20th century most powerful and notorious dictator. He had converted
Germany to a full militarized society and had launched World War II
itself. To be honest, when I first heard
of him, I thought him to be the most despicable man that had ever lived in this
world. Well, after reading through his
sacred text, the Mein Kampf (My Struggle) I had a better understanding of his
view.
The Mein Kampf
From the text that he had written, He had exposed many secrets regarding
the Jews. As I read the exposure, he had
stated that the Jews are liars, pretender and leaches. They were also
deceptive. I had to agree, as I have seen many dark secrets of the Jews on the
internet. One source stated that the Jews main enemies are the Muslims. They
had overtaken the Islam’s major city, Palestine. How did they do it? It’s easy,
by pretending. They had been fooled Muslims, pretending to be one of them,
until they had increased in number where they overtakes the Muslims population
and eventually the Palestine itself. As Hitler wrote, “the Jews are liars and
hide their true feelings, for complete free expression is a social
impossibility for them” I strongly agree on this statement. Not to be a racist,
but it’s a fact. A common characteristic of a Jew. They spread their lies all
around the world. They had been thought
to conceal their minds, and by learning their enemies weakness, they will
continue to spread lies so that their enemies will be lax towards their
surroundings. This is where they strike, as what they done to most of the
Islam’s countries.
Jews Conspiracy
As I wrote this, however, I am not a hundred percent agrees
with Hitler’s goal though. He wants to create a new religion that had him as
the prophet, and he wants to eradicate
all of those who he considered inferior. Even though he had his struggles
towards the Jewish, which in turn had actually helped the world to make a
better place, his ideals is still not to be taken seriously. Only the teachings from Al-Quran will guide us
to the right path.
Okay, first of all, this is actually my first time writing blog. And I was made to because of this assignment (yeah) Well, enough of that.Now, let me tell you a tiny bit of Critical Literacy. The Critical Literacy subject is all about Critical Thinking. What exactly is critical thinking? Critical Thinking is our own mind's assumptions and question towards uncertainty. Here's an example:
now, what do you think about the video?
I guess you must have been like this.
What did I just SEE?!
Well, can't blame you though, even i was... speechless. well, not like i was speaking anyway. In any case, this demonstrates your mind in critical thinking; where you started to think of this video; the purpose it was created, why the creator done that, why am i even watching this video, etc. Your brain should have generate many kind of questions. While questions are building up, your mind also came up with many assumptions.This is where your right brain starts to work the most. Why? Let me explain how our brain work.
our brain.
As you can see from the image, our brain is divided into two : Left and Right. These two directions are called The left brain hemisphere and the right brain hemisphere. The left brain hemisphere is used when we defining our own thoughts, which is our own logic, rather than other's, which "in tune with ONLY one's very own concept of right and wrong as the basis of one's reality."
This is when the form of communication skill, Intrapersonal skill takes form. For the right brain hemisphere, it is where we questioned, imagined, and assume our thoughts, and takes other people's concept to ours, "It is empathic to others' concept of right and wrong as the basis of one's reality."
Unlike the left brain hemisphere, the right brain hemisphere is much more broaden and wider, as most of us used the right brain hemisphere rather than left. Like when you watched the video. You did use your right brain hemisphere, did you? This in fact is because our human's intuition. We were made to think out of the box, rather than being shut. Now you understand why the creator of this video made this video. haha.
Alright, I guess this is all i have to write about. This is my first post, and i apologized if there is any wrong in this post, please do comment and tell me so that i can fix anything related to the information or spellings. I will write more about this subject, please do follow. :) until then, goodbye.
