Is it true that CRITICAL LITERACY is hard?

No doubt, no compromise, I will say YES J

Before you get married, you only focus on yourself. When you gain money, you spend it only for your own significance. When you eat, you will care about your time eating only. It is up to you to eat early or late. Besides, most of your life problem comes from you itself. However, after you get married, everything starting to change. Especially your duty life. Why? Okay. Marriage is about something new in your life. For the first time as a married couple, you will notice that it is hard for you to make yourself fell comfort.

Here, the same situation occurred in critical literacy. Usually, we only care about something that is useless like gossiping and cursing. During our daily life, we often to be in comfort zone. No pressure about any serious issues. Unless, if the serious issues has a link with us. However, when you learn CRITICAL LITERACY, you will notice about something that is really important. What? EVERYTHING HAPPENED FOR A REASON. Honestly to say, before this, I never encourage my mind to think about others business? Why? I am not a busy body person. Perhaps, I am arrogant maybe.

Day by day, I follow the time. Learning CRITICAL LITERACY make me realize that life is not only about me and me. As a community, I need to:

·         Read about others
·         Think about others
·         Write about others

This is why I think critical literacy burden me and me.

Besides the burden in CRITICAL LITERACY, I still find lots of benefits from learning this subject. Then, what is it?

·        Learning about serious issue – As adults, it is a must for us to be keener towards our environment. War issue, economy issue, natural disaster issue and political issue are some of the serious issue that we need to focus on. At least, after learning this subject I gain more knowledge about The Jews, The Steve Jobs and Jack the Ripper. Now, after watching movies like ‘THE PIANIST’ and ‘FROM HELL’, I become more alert towards the community. By today, my lecturer, Sir Kamaraziz also told me what is the different between JUDAISM, HEBREW, ISRAEL.

·         Train to think out of box – During my class, Sir Kamaraziz taught us on how to think like an extraordinary person. When we were discussing about some topic during our class hour, we can’t simply see the disadvantage of that topic only. For example, why men do plastic surgery? On the bad site, we can say that they are not confident with themselves. Besides, doing plastic surgery will make them become more attractive among the women. However, we need to see on the good site too. Some men do plastic surgery as a way to cure their disease. So, this is why we can’t blame those who do plastic surgery. Basically, this subject will train us on how to become more mature in our thinking skill.

·         Improve language skills – Although we are already born as a genius, we still need to grind down our language skills. Learning this subject will make you read lots, listen lots and write lots. In directly, whether we realize it or not, this ways of learning really help us in improving our language skills. The more we read, the more we know. The more we listen, the more we alert. The more we write, the more we think.

So, no matter how hard this subject, lastly, I know I will make myself fell comfort and fun to learn this subject.

This subject is really important. Why? This subject really train me on how to think like a mature student. This is the time for me to change. Live my life seriously. I am not younger at all. Wish me best of luck J
