much. Jangan nak kwaja tunang esok. Lempang karang. Btw I miss my tucen
techik :(

Gadgets, examples are smartphone, iPad and tab has destroyed


communication among friend and family. Do you agree or disagree? Use
specific reasons and example to support your answer.

Gadgets have become the first thing we touch in the morning and the last
thing we stroke at night. Are they taking over our lives and causing us to lose
human contact with each other? Gadgets provide easy access to satisfying your
needs. They help you feel connected to the world at large, they feed you
information assuring perceived growth, they provide variety, allow you to contribute
and to receive acknowledgements from others. And the best part you participate
on your terms: whenever you like, wherever you like, as much as you want.
However, I agree that technology can be huge relationship killers. Technology might
be just as addictive as alcohol and drugs and could also wreak havoc with personal
and work relationships. Often a small tiff may turn into an ugly fight leading to
break-ups simply because the conversation between couples is not verbal but
through text messages. An extra exclamation mark may be misinterpreted as anger,
sarcasm or a sign of disrespect.

Perhaps, someone may be sliding into an unhealthy relationship with


technology include using text messages, email and voice mail when face-to-face
interaction would be more appropriate, or limiting time with friends and family to
tend to your email, return phone calls or to surf the Internet. An inability to leave
home without a cell phone, to relax without constantly checking email or to stop
using the Internet are also worrying signs. When the Internet becomes a more
powerful draw than spending time with family or friends, or when someone pays
more attention to gadgets than what is happening in real life are more danger signs.

Besides, I see how tapping on iPads and watching TV diminish our


opportunities to engage with and care for another person. We become accustomed
to the simplified, the superficial, the sensational; we turn to the endless stories of
celebrity relationships and online dramas rather than engaging in our own. Another
real life situation - my son was glued to the television watching some cartoons. I
had to announce my arrival verbally which startled them because they had not
heard me drive in. This scenario is so common and annoying as well. People no
longer talk like they used to in the past. We used to have so many visitors at
weekends, but this has changed because of the mobile communication. Before
mobile phones and cellphones, people saw each other in person and called each
other on the phone. Even with cordless phones there was still an element of
publicity with a home phone. And parents usually set time limits on how much time
one could talk on the phone at one time. Now, with cellphone plans offering
unlimited calling and texting, there are no boundaries. Adults, teens and even
young children walk around perpetually glued to their cellphone. Many people send
hundreds and even thousands of text messages. With Bluetooth technology, the
cellphone user is constantly plugged in to the phone.

As political scientist Robert Putnam notes in Bowling Alone, Good


socialization is a prerequisite for life online, not an effect of it: without a real world
counterpart, internet contact gets rangy, dishonest, and weird. In a nutshell, it is all
depends on how do you learn to set limits, develop boundaries, how do you make
some sense out of what does it mean to healthily use the technology, or to healthily
enter into a relationship with someone.
Do we learn more from finding out that we have made mistakes or from
our successful action?

We often hear such statements as It is okay to make a mistake, that's how


you learn. Or that was a real learning experience? In fact, it was a disaster; but at
least we learned something through doing. The implication is that it is only through
our action that we discover what we know and what we still need to learn. If you
want to understand something, try to change it. Thus, for us to learn, to create our
knowledge, it is necessary for us to act in order to uncover and discover what we
don't know or what doesn't work. Thus, our errors are our greatest opportunities for
learning. Inaction or silence may be the greatest barriers to our learning

Why dont we try to learn how to learn from our mistakes? Come up with
some ways to learn how to learn from your mistakes. They do not have to be ground
breaking solutions but one that will help us from our mistakes. One way we can do
this is by making sure to think about what we did wrong the first time and changing
it to a way we believe will help make us succeed and reach our full potential. We
can also ask others in our life who witnessed our mistake and ask them how they
believe we can change what we did the first time. A great example of learning from
mistakes is on a situation where a child was trying to grab a hot iron - no matter
how many times you stop the child from grabbing it the child will continue until you
let him burn his hand; and he is a child at age 5. Learning by failure taught he many
things in that situation such as red metal is hot and will hurt him but more
importantly that his mother was trying to protect him from hurting himself.

Although we all make errors, no one ever intentionally sets out to produce
such an error (to do so would be to be successful). This detection and correction of
the gaps between what we intend and what we produce is a form of problem
solving. One set of criteria for judging the success of our problem solving efforts is
the extent to which the problem is solved, it stays solved, and the relationships
among those involved are not harmed. Any behavior which limits our effectiveness
as problem solvers, which limits our ability to detect and correct these gaps, can be
interpreted as incompetence. We are incompetent when we behave in ways which
limits our learning about our effectiveness, when we behave in ways which shut
down inquiry. We are competent when we keep the inquiry going.

In conclusion, mistakes help us learn the existing theory of life between good
and bad. Sometimes, a mistake may seem too good to approach it or it may be too
dreadful to even dream about in your wildest dreams. The theory above is
exclusively mine, which I learned from a big mistake that was related to the field of
education. This is the only phase in human life, where we fall to the pressures and
rise above them learning what is the best for us. Hence, I believe in learning from
our mistakes. Many things cannot be taught conventionally or are better learned by
messing up the first time. If you dont make mistakes, youre not working on hard
enough problems. And thats a big mistake. - F. Wilczek
Today our workplace and neighborhoods are composed of people of
diverse backgrounds. For this reason it is important for people to find
ways to get along with each other. Write an essay explaining how people
in diverse background can get along better.

We live in a world composed of various people, ideas, cultures, social


background which sometimes are locked in a web of conflicting interests, yet it is
conventionally expected that peace should reign. Multiculturalism is is a good way
to meet new people. Nowadays our planet is becoming more and more developed,
to the point that there are not blank spots on a map anymore. People made efforts
to discover all places on the Earth through hard conditions and misfortunes. We
have planes, trains, boats cars and all other vehicles that bring us to different
destinations around the world. It is very easy to move from one country to other
without any difficulties or problems. That is why we can notice an enormous mixture
of nationalities in a country. In just one nation we can meet Chinese, Vietnamese,
English, French or even Indians. In this situation we must consider about the
advantages and disadvantages of this phenomenon.

Studies show that the lack of cohesion between races, sexes and cultures is
due to mistrust, stereotyping, and more within-culture conversation and language
problems. When these problems are not paid attention to it may lead to an inability
to endorse ideas, the inability to gain agreement on decisions, and inability to take
united action. In the educational system it is very important that there is a wide
array of diverse groups in the classroom. It is important to have a diverse student
body, not only to create a realistic setting but also to encourage people to grow
outside their boundaries and learn something new about a culture they may not be
familiar with. By accomplishing this in the classroom you can avoid child
unawareness and actually enlighten them about other things that go on around
them with people they may be friends with or know.

Besides, we should treat everyone the same may be unintentionally


oppressive. Although every person is unique, some of us have been mistreated or
oppressed because we are a member of a particular group. If we ignore these
present-day or historical differences, we may fail to understand the needs of those
individuals. Often people are afraid that recognizing differences will divide people
from each other. However, learning about cultural differences can actually bring
people closer together, because it can reveal important parts of each other? It can
show us how much we have in common as human beings. Respect for human
dignity is important. Respect for other cultures, their identity, and loving beliefs
good. Only through education can we learn to tolerate and respect each other. It is
best to be tolerant and accept people's ways, than to attempt to inflict your own
viewpoints on them.

Hence, for all the reasons we identify, and countless others, the potential for
conflict is always present when two or more humans live close enough to permit
interaction. Thus, there are two choices; to find a civilized way to peacefully coexist
and constantly work towards this goal, or to fight at every opportunity with each
other. The former is a constant struggle with imperfect results and success is
determined by trust rather than might. There have been many wars where a choice
was made to opt for destruction rather than work for peaceful coexistence.
