global perspective


GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

There are so many cases that are happening in this world. The topic I would like to talk about is the Muslim fanatic case. It has been a fright to the world because of the terrorist around us. It is suspected that most of the terrorist that affects us are part from a Muslim group. These terrorist kill people just because of religion race. They think that non Muslim people are not acceptable and think that if they kill non Muslim people the killer will please God and for sure make their way to Heaven. These people I called them Muslim fanatic. They way of thinking is brutal and not modern. They don’t adjust their perspective based on the modern growth. I chose this topic because I am a Muslim myself. I believe that God doesn’t want us to kill each others; instead we should make peace in this world. This doesn’t mean that I dislike Muslim. By showing this opinion; I disagree with the way Muslim fanatic thinks, that could danger other people.
But on another perspective, maybe those people are born in a community like that and so we couldn’t blame on them all the way. The people that Muslim was first introduced are barbarian people; this is why Muslim is introduced to them. Different from Christianity, it is introduced to educational people. Muslim wasn’t introduced to educational people; instead they are introduced to women, and slaves. Maybe this is why some Muslim people think in an old way, and that is something we can’t blame completely.
I live in a family community that is open minded, I go to a Christian school, so I see the differences in Muslim. But the country’s majority religion is Muslim. It depends on the individuals, if they are open and modern minded then it helps the country’s growth. But now they are still soap operas that are Muslim based and those soap operas sometimes shows violence and old ways of thinking that doesn’t help educate the country, they only think of the ratings and the money it produced.

academic competence


ACADEMIC COMPETENCE
#3 Subject: Physics

For the national program, we are required to do a mid semester test. The subjects are chosen by the teachers. For this test I picked the lowest subject which is physics. On this test I got only 22 out of 100. My score got the lowest out of everybody in my class. The physics test includes topics such as vectors, gravity, elasticity and energy.
The test had 15 multiple choices questions and 5 essays. The physics test was held on the very first day of the mid semester test week.
What distinguishes this piece f evidence is the score. It was so bad that I am very embarrass to show it to my parents. It is strange for me because physics also involves math equations, but my math tests always get good score. I believe I am not prepared at all for this test. Even though the night before the test I studied really hard, I wasn’t able to memorize the formulas and I don’t understand all the topics that were given. In result, I wasn’t able to answer most of the questions. It was so hard and I wasn’t able to remember anything that I’ve studied the night before it.
Because of this situation, I am eager to study hard and pay more attention in class. I really have to increase my scores because it is below average and I felt that this is the result for not being focus in class. I was really shocked when I saw the score. I tried to negotiate with the teacher and asked him if I could do any extra credit to improve my score. So I did a report from a physics book that I read.
