Topic: Political condition of Ethnic Minority in Myanmar regarding democracy
URL :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Myanmar
Comment: In this article, i totally agree that the minority ethnic of Myanmar has been denied about their human right.For sure we as UMP’s students should know exactly what happened in Myanmar situation nowadays. As we know, the main problem happened in Myanmar is about political issues between their minority ethnic with their government. As we know, Myanmar is one of the ethnically most diverse countries in the world and throughout its existence as an independent state has experienced a complex set of conflicts between the central government and ethnic minority groups seeking autonomy. what I can concludes from all the articles about Myanmar political issue is, Myanmar use military government compared to us. I think, in Myanmar, their military government gives brutal policies in minority areas especially peoples who live in the village. What I can say is, in Myanmar there is lack of democracy when military government take places in their political power. I think this is due to lack of knowledge of politics. All peoples in world know that most of ethnic minorities in Myanmar today is their lack of influence on the political process and thus on decisions that affect their lives. Meanwhile, ethnic minority in Myanmar support democracy because they want gain their voice in natural politic, but what make it impossible is because in military government got some leaders that disagree about democracy. Therefore, what will happen to the ethnic minority in Myanmar? They cannot stand with their own leg if military still cannot accept democracy.

Topic: What is the new influenza A (H1N1)? (2nd Article)

Comment:
In my opinion, by knowing what is Influenza A (H1N1), we must know also the preventing step to ensure that we would easily get the symptoms like fever, dry cough, headache, runny nose, vomiting and other symptoms due to this influenza A (H1N1). “Prevention is better than cure”, so what can we do to help prevent the spread of flu by cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing with paper tissue if possible because the virus spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Moreover, use a tissue paper once dispose of it quickly and carefully. By wash your hands frequently with soap and water also helps us to prevent from Influenza A (H1N1) and lastly avoid large crowds of people whenever possible or simply stay more at home for our prevention.

TOPIC : HELL DRIVERS AND ROAD BULLIES

COMMENT
Where is the police? That is my question to the authorities. I agree with this article because the problem is getting worst all around Malaysia. There should be more effort on placing more police officers on the road and putting more security is very much welcomed in the society. Just because there is 1 person doing road bullying, he gets into trouble with many other road users and may interfere with traffic flow especially in urban areas. i know this is wrong to have other road users get involved, and maybe we can have a campaign about ruad safety especially amongst teenagers. Why the campaigns? This is because the police enforcements are not enough to deal this problem. We all should encourage other road users to be polite so that road bullies and hell drivers can be decreased.

In my opinion, this article might help parents nowadays to improve their children’s ability in linguistic. Research shown that, children can learn languages easily in the early age. Hence, parents can start teaching their children since they were born. Parents can also choose effective method to teach their children in order to yield optimum results as the article have already shown when is the best time a child learn languages. Asides from that, I think the writer also shows many surveys and examples as evidence to convince the reader. It also shows the differences of ability in certain races (Japanese) to differentiate certain pronunciations and ways to correct it. Hence this article might help peoples who have difficulties in learning languages.

Comment : Every people in this world make mistakes. Nobody’s perfect. I believe in this word 100 percent. Yes, all of us, either man, woman, young people, old people and others cannot run from mistakes. People often choose to bear a grudge against other people than to forgive them. I think it is better to forgive than we hate other people. Forgive as stated in this article, is so simple to be done. I like this article because it gives us steps to forgive other peoples that I can use in my daily life. I should make up my mind that I forgive that people that have done wrong to me even though I didn’t forgive them. It is good because, later my mind will be free out of hatred and I will easily forgive them. This is the best way to forgive others. As the conclusion, we should forgive other people, so that, we will not make a revenge to others and for us to live in a happily life forever with other people.

2. Build self esteem before self confidence
This article is mainly about how to build self esteem. Not everyone is born with strong self esteem or self confidence. Some of them need a support in order to build a self esteem. For example someone that can tell them that they can do it like their own trusted family and friends. These articles have a strong point of view on how to build self esteem. As example these article wrote that we must think back about the first time we did something new. From that perspective we can easily build a self confidence an eventually a self esteem. We actually think that everything is possible. These articles also wrote that the reason of some people don’t have a self esteem is because they mostly listen to others opinions and rules and they never give a chance to listen to their own intuitions. Overall these article give many tips on how to build a self esteem.

COMMENT:
We’re living in the 21st century and superstitions is still taboo to some people. I find it awkward to believe such nonsense, but to certain people they really believe it. Superstitions is not from the history. There is always some scientific explanation when something bad happens and not because of the superstitions they break. Maybe it’s just 1 way for us to control what we’re doing so that no mishap will happen. For example don’t cut your fingernail during night time. They’re just saying this so that we will not cut ourself and get bleed. At the end of the day it depends on one self whether to believe it or not or practiced it since it become a custom to certain people in the world.

Comment:
“’why should we read’ that has be write by Yuuki had inspired me in reading.I absolutely agree with all point that had been highlight by Yuuki about reading. For first point, with reading we can use our own imagination to imagine what had been writing by the writer. With that we can improve our creativity. Other than that, with reading also can change our expression from sad to happy or from happy to sad. It base on the story line that has been created by the writer. With reading also can improve our language and add more information to our brain that we can use it back in our work and in our daily life. But for point d, I quite not agree with her point. Computer games also can provide useful information. For overall, i agree with all the point that given.”

TOPIC :PASSENGER JUST AREN'T BELTING UP
COMMENT:
From this article, we will know that the campaign by the Road Transport Department early this year to get back seat passengers to wear seatbelts had gone fail. According to figures released by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research, about 72 per cent of passengers don't bother to belt up. According to Road Safety Department director-general Datuk Suret Singh said it fail to achieve the targets is largely because the rear seatbelt media campaign was stopped due to budget constraints. From this article also we will know an increase of 8.3 per cent in car driver and passenger fatalities last year compared with 2007. But fatalities involving bus passengers and drivers went down by 36 per cent during the same period. Accidents involving pedestrians have also gone down by six per cent after better pedestrian facilities were built near schools, hospitals, markets, food courts and tourist destinations. These included speed humps, signs and zebra crossings.

Let’s go green! I think this is very exciting because it will applied the spirit of loving the environment. Also respect mother nature and living things so that the world will be more green with a fresh air for the next generation. This is because now global warming is worrying every people of the world. But sadly, there are people who does not care and never even have any idea of what will happened if we do not take any action to this situation. Participation of school students in the Toyota Eco Rangers Programme is very needed because they are our next leader. A leader must also become a role model to everyone so that everyone will do the right thing. This three-year programme involves workshops, concept paper presentation, tree planting, nurturing activities and networking with community and governmental bodies with also lots of activities. While busy learning how to save the world, they will also having fun with the activities that have their awards.

Everyone will be thought that Malaysia team will lost more than 6 goal but Malaysian ХІ show the amazing performance when Manchester united want to play with them for the second round because in the first game they only win 3-2, it is a good for the Malaysia team because their level with the Manchester united player are far. Win is nothing impossible to the national team because they only separate with the man u players by experience if we have more players like Amri Yahya we can win more than 3-0, I felt very disappointed with the Malaysian because most of them are supports the Manchester united player. Who are we…….we are Malaysian why we are supported MU when they play here…..I felt very sad because the supported from MU is more than Malaysian team.I hope in the future all the Malaysian can realize that we also have a good player and can enter to the world class level

Good thinker will always set a precaution before they make a decision. That is why some people may be cheated by a simple conversation or outer appearance. Actually, literal thinking can define as the way of thinking without judging directly what happen next. Because we did not know it gone to be a good or bad ending. Another definition that can be made is think different way from other people “think outside the box”. Many inventors use this type of thinking to build their inventions. So, let’s think twice an act wise.

Topic:Science,engineering and technology

From the article that I had read, there are meanings and explanation of science, engineering, and technology. Science can be define as the reason investigation or study of phenomena, aimed at discovering enduring principles among elements of the phenomenal world by employing formal techniques such as the scientific methods. The definition of engineering is the process of designing, making tools and systems to exploit natural phenomena for practical human means, often using results and technique from science. Technology is often a consequence of science and engineering, although technology as a human activity precedes the two fields. There are some opinions about the exact relations between science and technology. In immediate wake of World War 2, in the United States, it was widely considered that technology was simply applied science and that to fund basic science was to reap technological results in due time.

TITLE : TAJ MAHAL
URL : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taj_mahal
Taj Mahal is a symbol of love between Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan. Taj Mahal is very beautiful besides it has a very unique design. I think Taj Mahal became one of the famous tourism centres due to its unique historical story behind the making of the Taj Mahal. Some say that Shah Jahan was overthrown by his son Aurangzeb before it could be built. Ruins of blackened marble across the river in Moonlight Garden, Mahtab Bagh, seemed to support this legend. However, excavations carried out in the 1990s found that they were discolored white stones that had turned black. Not just that some people claim that a dark reflection of the white mausoleum could clearly be seen, befitting Shah Jahan's obsession with symmetry and the positioning of the pool itself. I also have read about. The pollution has been turning the Taj Mahal yellow. To help control the pollution, the Indian government has set up the Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ), a 10,400 square kilometer (4,015 square mile) area around the monument where strict emissions standards are in place. In 1983, the Taj Mahal was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

When I laugh I fell that the time, the place and the world is mine. In this article I upgraded my knowledge by knowing the important organs inside our body is used, functioning or affected when we let out our joy by laughter. I agreed that laughter can boost energy levels which help people to have high enthusiasm attitude towards their daily routine. If we laugh it makes us more energetic. When we laugh while doing some work, we will not feel tired because laughter makes our body power. So, my advice, to make your work fun, joyful and not letting your body feeling tired, makes a little jokes, a little fun to make you laugh.

This is another example of wonderful article. The writer of this article using simple language in his article and enable everyone whose reading this article to understand the concept. He is using direct language instead of literally languages. The writer also provides good contents in this article such as advices to make people realize that perfection is not necessary to make your life happy. He said that life will be happier if we letting go of our quest about perfection. I am totally agreed with his opinion as for me, everybody has his or her own ability and lacking. Nobody is perfect in this world. Even though everyone wish to be perfect, but in fact, going into perfection only a desire and just to satisfy ourselves. Therefore, everyone should letting go of their feeling of wanting to be perfect as to be happy in life, all you have to do is just appreciate yourselves and be grateful of what you have.
