week 8 of critical literacy.

This week basically we have intensive classes through out the week specializing for our first assignment that is portfolio on brief response to questions and exercises. We need to analyze and give critical response towards four article that have been provided. However on Friday we have watch a short video about argument clinic by Monty Python. It criticise about the existence of the argument clinic in certain countries and mostly in western countries. Due to that we have been given two question regarding the video that we have watch, the first one is 'what if we have an argument clinic in Malaysia and how does it impact the citizen?', the second one is ' what will happen if people have lower expectation of you, what will happen to you?'.



If in Malaysia argument clinic is to be created in Malaysia it will give negative impact to the citizen. The motive of argument clinic is to teach people on how to argued with other people, and if this kind of clinic exist in Malaysia, the peoples' behaviour will be different from what has been established today. The people will use their left brain more rather than using both brain equally. It is because, people need to use their left brain to argued as the function of the left brain is to critical thinking and critically thinking is important when arguing as the person who is arguing need to find reason fast. The effect of this situation is that people will always criticise and argued about all the things around them and this will then lead to fight among the citizen.



The second question, what will happen if people have lower expectation of you? as for that, the will only be two outcome of that situation that is first, the person who has been underestimate stands up for himself or herself and proves other people that there are wrong, second the person just gives up with their life and let everybody judges him or her like that. The first situation will only happen to person that have strong spirit and has a high level of self advice to face the world of people being so judgemental and the second situation are the most common to occur in today's society. I have once face this kind of situation where my own parents underestimated with me, they keep comparing me with my other siblings. At first, I put myself in the second situation where I ignore what other people said and let them with their judgement. It is because, I cannot endure with the comparison any longer so I just put my self in deaf mode whenever my parents comparing me or nagging to me. However, now I have changed, I want to proves to my parents that I can also succeed like my siblings. Being a college student has teach me a lot, and definitely it make me think deeply about my situation and also teach me that each person is special in their own way.
