Tweeny Little Bits of Critical Literacy & This Blog



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.
