The 1st assignment is too challenging... Thanks to Mr.Mark..

"The Jews and the Deceits" By Adolf Hitler

Being a student is not a challenge if you doesn't experience a bad journey. Having a lot of assignment is something common for those who hold the title of student. Because of that, I didn't expected that i would do some research about someone that i don't like. Who is the lucky person?? Adolf Hitler! Yes...it was him.. For the first assignment, i need to do some research about him and come out with the rule of 10 that I've learn in this subject, Critical Literacy. Thus, the best part is when he came out with his point of view about The Jews, i realize that my perception towards him has already changed! However, it's only change about that matters only. Moreover, i hate The Jews very much and the convincing argument by Hitler about The Jewish are totally right. Anyway, i agree with Hitler and supporting his argument!

"The Influence of Heredity on Malay Race" By Mahathir Mohamad

The excerpt by Dr Mahathir Mohamad is quite interesting but i don't agree with the content. He claimed that the genetic factor is the main reason of poor examination performance among Malay race. However, he is totally right that Malay people is left behind compared to other races but i totally denied when he said Malay race should married with other races as well to expand the generation and to have a good genetic. Therefore, it shows that he is being biased by this statement since he was from mix family where his father is not Malay. Thus, the best part about this article is when i had an argument with one of my friends since he totally agree with the excerpt while i am totally disagree with Dr Mahathir. I told my friend that if he is stupid, then it is because of his parents. He was very angry and came out with his opinion, perspectives also positioning. I can't believe that both of us are already completed the first article in just an hour! Thanks to Zulmajdi... hehe

I've learn about Syllogism...

Today, I've learn something valuable related to my subject core, Critical Literacy. Thus, I found it very interesting and help me a lot in making excellent statements. Do you know what Syllogism is all about?

There are three major types of syllogism:

• Conditional syllogism: If A is true then B is true (If A then B).
• Categorical syllogism: If A is in C then B is in C.
• Disjunctive syllogism: If A is true, then B is false (A or B).

Syllogisms are particularly interesting in persuasion as they include assumptions that many people accept which allow false statements or (often unspoken) conclusions to appear to be true. There is a difference between truth and validity in syllogisms. A syllogism can be true, but not valid (i.e. make logical sense). It can also be valid but not true.
