Last. Opinions and Suggestions

Assalamualaikum and Hye People.

Meet me again, HERE.

Woww! I can’t believe that I have almost finished this semester 4. Yet, all the subjects that I’ve learned quite hard and a few subjects are quite okay. So, now I write this entry for Critical Literacy’s blog. This is my last entry for Critical Literacy’s blog. Like I already said I have almost completed this semester 4. It’s mean that I have learned more and know more about this subject. For the first time I learned this subject, I feel it is so hard for me to understand what this subject all about. Most students always said that this is the killer subject in semester 4. Is it true?? Now, I want to share my opinions, comments and suggestions for this subject after I’ve learned about it. As for me this subject seriously critical, but when we understand we know that this subject is not too hard as long as we focus and do what lecturer said. This subject also can make me think advance in making a good decision and lead me to have a good skill in writing and reading. As the course aims for this subject is to enable students to manage the demands of literacy in a critical manner and yes the aims are achieved. From learning this subject I know how texts are constructed and how to critical reading not just only read without knowing anything. Preparations for test in this subject are reading and remember what we read and learn. Not only read but we need to understand what we read to ensure we can answer the question correctly. Critical Literacy subject practiced me to have a good skill in reading and thinking. Nothing impossible if we have superior effort to make this subject the best subject not the killer subject anymore! I also want to throw out the bad perceptions of this subject which only make me feel troubled. This subject actually fun and easy but like I said, if we want to have a good result, we must have triple good effort.

My suggestions to improve this subject are reading more on academic text so that we can make our brain active. It is very important to take note when lecturer giving her lectures because what she said is also important. In other hand, reading more and more to ensure the text can be understand. By reading useful things, our brain will think actively. To make the text of the reading are easy to understand, we can make a group discussion to discuss until all of us get the idea of what the text is all about. Find some friends who can explain to us correctly. Besides, always see our lecturer and consult with her to assure we are in a right track. So, people can improve better in this subject and learn from mistakes before.I will stop here. 

Thank you...

Hope everything gonna be okay. 

Entry 4. Lack of Empathy

Assalamualaikum and Hello everyone!

            

After I complete three entries for this blog, now I write my fourth entry for completing the topic given. Topic for my fourth entry is related to the politic. I am not so eager with this topic because I’m not interested in politic field. I also do not have any good knowledge and experiences in the political field. However, I need to understand what is the topic all about and find information from the article. As for me, I agree with the article and what is written by the writer, Syed Umar Ariff.

The article titled Nik Aziz and Hadi’s lack of empathy. The article is informing us the true nature or behavior of the PAS leaders, Nik Aziz and Hadi about the BR1M. The writer have stated in the article the harsh words used by the leaders of PAS. For me, leaders should not have that kind of attitude because leaders are being a role model to others. The writer said that Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz and Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi are lack of empathy. Empathy can be defines as the ability to understand or feel another person’s feeling as if they were your own or empathy is the experience of understanding another person's condition from their perspective. From the article, it shows leaders lack of empathy on the issue of BR1M. the emphatic skills in leadership is important. In recently published book, Wired to Care, innovation strategist Dev Patnaik explains that “without personal connection to the people they serve, companies lack the context, immediacy or experience they need to make good decisions. Without that empathy, organizations can start to lose their way a little bit at a time.” It means that, they need to know how to interact and understand others feeling too if not they might be comes out with nonsense statement. Like in the article which stated by the writer that the leader labeled the recipients of BR1M as the stupid people. The word hurt a lot of people. Leaders should not said such things because it just shown a bad attitudes as a respectful person in the country and political field.

Besides, PAS spiritual leader, Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat had been drawing flak from the people for likening BR1Mrecipients to farm animals; chickens, cows being fed desiccated coconut and hay respectively. They need to use our reasoning ability to understand another person's thoughts, feelings, reactions, concerns, motives. This means they must truly making an effort to stop and think for a moment about the other person's perspective in order to begin to understand where they are coming from. Don’t simply said what they want to said. They must to remember their position and care about their supporters too. Being a leader means they are being a role model to others, so showing an excellent manners  while making decision or saying something on the issue discussed. Both of them, Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz and Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi should know that what they have done is wrong and they cannot use offensive words in media or to public. They need to consider and care others feelings and perspective too. The BR1M actually helping the one who is in needed and who is not live in a lot of wealth. Many words used by them are offensive and they also saying bad things about Malaysian. That is not example of a good leader. Hence, from all of the statement and what is saying by me is not to make anyone angry or offended. It is just my opinion and from what I am understands.  I ask for forgiveness to all of you if there is something wrong with my statement and my entry this time. Nevertheless, the empathy is important in leadership or also important for us. We should understand others feeling too not just thinking of ourselves. People have different perspective and thoughts, so let’s respect their perspective and thoughts.

That’s all from me.  Thank you. :)
