THE JEWS AND THEIR DECEITS by ADOLF HITLER

          When I first heard about Hitler, the first thing that popped into my mind is hate since I have heard many negative rumours about him. A little brief about him is he was born in 1889. He spent most of his early life in town known as Linz, Austria. Hitler’s father was a heavy drinker and very active in politics. Hitler had experience the sad ancient times being beaten by his father when he was young. The reason of why he becomes so cruel is maybe because of his own father. Here, I clearly know that he has his own reason why he becomes violent and I should not blame him actually.

          From the article The Jews and their Deceit by Adolf Hiler, he had exposed many hidden secret about the Jews itself. Hitler has stated the Jews as liars, leaches and cunning. Besides, Hitler even said that the Jews only wear mask in order for them to hide their true identity and emotions. Hitler also reveals Jews as the one who hunger for power. So, who is right and who is wrong? Because of this statement, I have become little bit confused thinking about Jews and Adolf Hitler.

           In my opinion, it is difficult for me to identify the truth behind all of these. All that I can do is take these stories as a lesson and as knowledge that I should know throughout my life. Everyone has their own secret and cannot be revealed through the words. Even Adolf Hitler and the Jews stories have hidden secret and remain unknown. 

GOOD SIDE OF PORNOGRAPHY?

For this time, I will proceed with new entry which is about the good sides of pornography. This entry was based on the article entitled The Sunny Side of Smut written by Melinda Wenner Moyer. She is a freelance science writer based in Brooklyn, New York and frequent contributor to Scientific American Mind. From this article, I can understand that smut or commonly known as pornography is not all about the negative effects but also give positive effects towards those who view it.

In this excerpt, the author clearly stated that pornography tends to prevent from violent acts like rape and sexual harassments to occur since through this people have got what they want in their life which is sexual desires. Besides, research has been conducted and it shows that pornography did not affect relationships between male and female at all.

From my point of view, the pornography problem among people especially youth has increased from day to day. This kind of serious problem actually related to the advanced of technology nowadays. For instance, youth used an internet to access inappropriate websites in order to fulfil their teenagers’ desires. Amongst them are pornography sites. Furthermore, parents in this era did not pay full attention towards their children since they were as busy as a bee at their workplace.

As conclusion, pornography also brings positive effects towards those who view it instead of the negative effects. Societies especially the parents need to be aware with the environment. They should monitor their children activities and behaviours.  Thus, everyone need to make the best decision for own sake.

THE GREAT DEBATERS

The Great Debaters is a 2007 American film that was directed by Denzel Washington and produced by Oprah Winfrey Production Company which is Harpo Productions. This film is all based on the true story which is about equality. The plot revolves around the efforts of Melvin B. Tolson, a debater and professor of Wiley College who are trying to put his debate team on equal footing with whites in the American South during the early of 1930.

He has three great debaters in his team which are Samantha, Henry and James. Samantha Booke has just transferred to Wiley College and dreams of becoming the state’s third-ever black female lawyer. Henry Lowe is a man who struggles in order to balance his academic ideals while James Farmer, Jr. is the 14-year-old son of another Wiley professor who is eager to prove his intellectual worth to his demanding father. Together with their coach debate, Melvin they build up the school debate team to the highest national standards.

This movie contains lots of racism issue between the white and black people which happened at America. The black people always been suppressed by the white people just because their skin color until makes me felt pity with those people. It is quite similar with what happened in our country. For instance, people will isolate someone who has black as his/her skin colour. It has become a normal issue nowadays. However, still this movie manages to inspire me in debate. 

ADVENTUROUS MOVIE :THE ADVENTURE OF TINTIN

The Adventure of Tintin is an American 3D motion capture computer animated adventurous movie based on The Adventures of Tintin, a series of comic books . It was directed by famous director, Steven Spielberg, produced by Peter Jackson and was written by Steven Moffat.

This movie is all about a journalist named Tintin and his dog, Snowy who end up bought a model of three mastered  sailing ship known as ‘Unicorn’ with a cheaper price. At the same time, there were two men who interested to buy the ship but had been rejected by Tintin. Then, he swept up into an adventure to discover the secret of Unicorn. During his journey, he bumped into drunken Captain Archibald Haddock. Together, they went on an adventure to find out about the secret of Unicorn itself. This has leaded them to the Haddock’s ancestral treasures.

Overall, The Adventure of Tintin is a light movie but, yet it is very fun and interesting. At first, I thought this movie contains those ‘bored’ elements but it appears that I was wrong.  There are plenty of worthy jokes that made me and my friends non- stop laughing, for instance, the scene between hilarious Captain Archibald Haddock and Tintin. Besides, the graphic of this movie also work in a good way and made all characters looked like normal people. Visually, the film looks great and well-designed. It also has stimulates my mind since I have to think in depth when the characters was in the process of solving problems and the solutions of Unicorn.

THINKING FOLLY by ECKHART TOLLE

Eckhart Tolle is a well known author of the “The Power of Now “and “A New Earth” books which were written in English. He was born on 1948 and has become a German born Canadian resident. The excerpt entitled “Thinking Folly” which was written by Tolle was an exposition to the readers in what way our mind is working.

In this article, he has stated that we as a human do not even realize that our mind is controlling us all this time yet we use our brain in a wrong ways or did not use it at all because we often thought that ‘we are mind’. This is what we called as delusion. In other words, we have become a slave for our own mind.

Thinking creates the illusion of separateness, the illusion that separates us from reality and the illusion that brings us to imagination. It can be seen that thinking and imagination is different.  Imagination was the one which lead to knowledge and make someone become creative. For example, a scientist was creative in inventing something but yet they can shake the world with their invention. So, it is essential for each human being to have an imagination rather than knowledge in this entire world.

As the conclusion, thinking is not as complicated as we thought actually. It is proven that imagination is more essential rather than knowledge. With imagination, someone can lead their own life in a happy way. You do not have to think critically or logically but you have to think creatively.

ANIMAL FARM REVIEW

        Last Tuesday, during my Critical Literacy class, I have watched a movie entitled “Animal Farm” which directed by George Orwell and was published in England on 17 August 1945. At first, I did not have any interested at all to watch this kind of movie since this movie was quite dull in the beginning. Furthermore, the pigs in this movie seem to be so tickle until made me felt like vomiting. However, after that, I became used to watch the movie that include the pigs, which can be considered as the main character, in it and started to understand about the storylines of it.

SYNOPSIS OF THE MOVIE

        The movie was about the animals that live in Mr Jones’s farm which trying to lead a happy life without being controlled by human being and in order to do that, they have to fight for their right. The animals in this movie include horse, dog, pig and many more. However, after they succeed to achieve what they want, they have been controlled by the pigs who claimed themselves as the leader.  As the time passes, the pigs became greedy and they just want to monopolize everything in their life. Napoleon, the greedy pig has chased the kind-hearted pig named Snowball from that farm and this making life harder for the other animals since Napoleon started to change the original Seven Commandments of Animalism.

        The whole story was aptly concluded by the last line, “The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again, but already it was impossible to say which was which”. But still, I felt unsatisfied with the ending since I did not have any clue on what happened to Napoleon at the end. Is it died? What I know is the other kind animals got their new owners and still I did not get clue on how these animals will be treated since they have new owners now. 

FICKLE FRIENDS by KIRSTEN WEIR

For this week, I decided to read an article entitled “Fickle Friends” which written by Kirsten Weir. Weir is a science writer and editor who has an experience writing for newspapers, magazines, websites, and books that covering on topics from evolution and neurobiology. In this excerpt, she has written about her point of view about type of friends that known as “frenemies” that exist in this worldwide. The exact meaning of word “frenemies” is those who can be your friends; however at the same time that friends also can be your enemy.

Kirsten Weir

Have you ever experience a friend who will help you when you have a trouble but later on that “friend” will talk or gossiping about you without you knowing about that? As for me, I have experience that kind of situation throughout my life before this. It is kind of painful and bitter memories ever. That is what we called as “frenemies” since they can be by our side when we have difficulty but at the same time they will betray us. However, this is what I called as circle of life. It has been the most common thing that happened in our life nowadays.

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

Human are an extremely social species. They thought it is important to have lots of friends than having good ones if they want to lead a happy life.For me, I think that the number of friends, on the other hand, had not given any significant effects towards human being.  What the use of having thousand of friends in your life, but yet it is hard for you to find friends that can be by your side when you were in trouble or not? But still, this sort of friends are very helpful for me in order to identify which one is the good and the bad friend ever throughout my life.

As conclusion, “frenemies” can be bad for your health but understanding these taxing relationships can make them less painful. It is all depends to us on how to manage these “frenemies”.

“No friendship is perfect, but frenemies are consistently imperfect”.
