Superstition Vs Women


This is my third task for Critical Literacy subject. I have to analyse the superstition from both side of my brain...Our brains were divided into two part  which are the right-brain and left-brain. Commonly, left-brain was used to critise about anything which is against our norm, nature or religion. Besides, the right-brain functioned as to feel or think emphatic towards other's concept of right and wrong as the basic of one's reality. I choose superstitions which come from Malay culture. Its all about the young lady. So,lets work,brain!



"If a lady sings while cooking, she will be destined to marry an old man."

Left brain (Criticsm)

~ Any activities or attitude cannot determine who will be our future husband because it is a against our religion and culture. Additionally, only God knows who will be our marriage partner.

~ In my point of view,it's not appropriate for a lady who is singing in the kitchen because it's against our Malay custom.


old man??


Right Brain (Emphatic)

~The lady should focus on cooking only in order to avoid any accidents from happen to her.

~The kitchen is for cooking and is not a appropriate place for singing.







"Ladies should not wake up late or it'll be difficult to get a marriage partner."
 
Left Brain (Criticsm)


~ If the ladies were difficult to get marriage partner,it is because she didn't find her Mr.Right yet or maybe she was very choosy in find her partner.

~Waking up late doesn't make any sense towards someone's fate in marriage. Only God know about it and this attitude doesn't reflects to anyone's luck.


Right Brain (Emphatic)

 ~For a lady, waking up late is not good manner.
~ In Malay culture, waking up late can be defined as laziness and lady always be symbolised as a hardworking person.










In my opinion, frankly speaking that these superstitions are only to shape our attitude, especially for girls nowadays(included me). They shouldn't misbehave from our custom and religion border.

Eureka Moment


After I've learned in CL(Critical Literacy) finally,I understand what is the meaning of eureka instead of tv series, eureka is said by famous Greek mathematician, Archimedes. Its means ''I Have Found It" or "I Got It". I know everyone has their own eureka experiences. Same goes with me. Here, I'm gladly to share about my eureka moment.

i got it!!


It happen when I studied here. I don't want to mention his name but let me named him as ''A". it happens when I was in secondary school. Before this, i thought that he is very good and a decent person. it's written from his appearance but it's definitely wrong. after be a friend for a few month, my perception on him is totally changed.   he showed his true colours. he wasn't like i think and expect before. he is really3 snobbish person!

Why?? it is because he thinks that everyone like him. I knew that he has many friends and of course i’m not jealous about that but he always to expose that everyone like him. Sometimes, he always make me touch of the words that he said. Besides, he also wants to show that he knows about everything.  Yes, i know he is brilliant but it can make anyone feel offend. he should minds his word before he talk. He also been rude with one of our teacher because of the teacher caught him from cheating during examination.

After that, I never talk to him anymore because of his attitude. I think this is my eureka moment. it’s gives many lesson to me for not to judge people by their appearance. I thought a good and innocent physical will reflects to a good attitude but it’s wasn’t. This makes me realises that i shouldn’t be cheated by the physically only.
