GENETIC ENGINEERING

GENETIC ENGINEERING IS A MAJOR ISSUE IN TODAY'S SOCIETY.BECAUSE PF IT,THINGS LIKE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT HAVE BECOME A RELITY.GENETIC ENGINEERING IS CAN BE DEFINED AS THE MANIPULATION OR ALTERATION OF THE GENETIC STRUCTURE OF A SINGLE CELL OR ORGANISM.THIS MEANS THE SCIENTIST CAN TARGET A PARTICULAR GENE AND MAKE IT WHATEVER THEY WANT.THIS TECHNIQUE IS BECOMING SO ADVANCE THAT SOON PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THEIR CHILDREN EXACTLY HOW THEY WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE.THE SCIENCE BEHIND GENETIC ENGINEERING IS SIMPLE TO EXPLAIN YET COMPLICATED TO PERFORM.SIMPLY STATE SCIENTIST MAY ALTER ANY GENE THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT BETTER THEN IT WAS BEFORE.
GENETIC ENGINEERING HOLDS MANY PREMISES FOR THE FUTURE.IT BRINGS WITH IT POSSIBILITIES OF LONGER,HEALTIER,LIVES AND POSSIBLY NEAR-IMMORTALIT.IT HAS THE POSSIBILITIES OF ENDING WORLD HUNGER BY MAKING CHEAPER,MORE NUTRITIOUS AND FASTER GROWING FOODS.HOWEVER GENETICALLY ENGINEERING FOOD COULD REDUCE GENETIC DIVERSITY CAUSING THE FOOD TO BE MORE PRONE TO DISEASE.NOT ONLY DOES IT.REDUCE GENETIC DIVERSITY BUT IT IS ALSO AN EXPENSIVE PROCESS.

ENVIROMENTAL PROBLEM FACING BY MY COUNTRY TODAY

Malaysia, one of the 'Asian tiger' economies, has enjoyed remrkable growth over the last few decades, with industriliziation, agriculture and tourism playing leading roles in this success story. But today, despite a relatively positive enviromental record, Malaysia faces problem of deforestation, pollution of inland and marine waters, soil, and coastal erosion, overfishing and coral reef destruction, along with ar pollution, water pollution and the problem of waste disposal.

oil palm plantations are a prevalemt feature of the Malaysian landscape, as this industry has become a major contributor to the country's export earnings. The increase in palm oil production has been driven by strong global demand for oils and fats, notably from europe and china

However, this expansion of land  for oil palm cultivation has taken place at the expenses of lowland tropical forests, which are ecologically sensitives habitats. this is because the remaining forest is fragment, elephants are forced to move throuh plantations and smallholdings to get from one patch to another.

They prefer to use on dry ground, so during floods they are also forced into agricultural land, sometimes causing considerable damage. Habitat fragmentation has also affected the orangutan pollution and others species of high conversation priority.

MALAYSIAN CARS VS FOREIGN CARS

Sign 2012 new car models suddenly flocked to login to the market. But if we talk about a new local train Malaysia, of course, everyone will talk about Proton and Perodua. it's known only two companies alone are in "endorse" as local car manufacturers. Naza left in the lurch leave alone in order to break down the walls of two multi-national companies of the country. Despite the fact by saying that Toyota is Japanese-owned but still categorized local companies.

Talk about the influx of new model I'm interested in talking about design in excess of the matters related to the power company engine.two model marvelous world I came from rival auto Europe of Korea. If the first Japanese are so terrorized by Toyota, Honda and Suzuki, are now beginning to show its fangs Korea with the capability of KIA and Hyundai. In fact Ssangyong also bum from behind. KIA and Hyundai is now staking brand new start by removing one by one the latest models with modern and elegant style. In fact, I salute the technological sophistication of the inventive car with futuristic features, stunning designs that deceive the eye

SCHOOL BASED ASSESMENTS

School based assesments or PBS is a holistic assessment that is able to assess cognitive (intellectual), affective (emotional and spiritual) and psychomotor (physical) in line with the National Education Philosophy and Curriculum Standard for Primary Schools (KSSR). PBS is optimized to assess the academic and non-academic. PBS gives recognition and autonomy for teachers to implement formative assessment (assessment carried out during the learning process) and summative (evaluation conducted at the end of a learning unit) in schools.Assessment will be in there 4 times a year for non-examination classes five times a year and one year for class exams. (Students need to prepare for these exams because manghadapi scores obtained are the result of student efforts to get good results and valuation is a whole chapter in seseuatu subjects)

HOMESCHOOLING

The definition of homeschooling itself based on Thesaurus Dictionary is the practise of teaching one’s own children at home, instead of sending them to school. It is a rare to see parents practising homeschooling in Malaysia however it is a norm for parents in the Western country.

Regarding this issue, there are some pros and cons of homeschooling. The first pros is, the parents can control what and when they want their children to learn it. Second, the parents can show their children how exciting an education is. Third, we can build strong bonding and meaningful relationships between the parents and their children. Lastly, the parents can create a weekly schedule that fits the children’s needs and allow them to do things without constraint of a traditional home schedule.

However, there are tops potential disadvantages of homeschooling which are, first, the parents have to spend 24 hours a day with their children for several days at a time. Next, the parents have to justify the homeschooling to family and friends who oppose their decision to learn at home. On the other hand, the parents also have to be very patient with their children’s when it seems they aren’t learning anything. Last but not least, the parents need to seek advices from other homeschooling parents when they encounter problems that the parents itself cannot equipped to handle. 

Technology Kill Humanity

The definition of technology itself according to  Thesaurus Dictionary is the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life, society and the environment, drawing upon such subjects as industrial arts , engineering, applied science and pure science. 

As we know, people nowadays tend to spend their precious time playing with the applications in their phones such as Whatsapp, Twitter and Instagram instead bonding with each other. It’s a norm phenomenon to see a family in a restaurant busy with their phones instead of chatting to each other. This situation can widen the gap among each other and it leads to a split in the family institution.

Regarding this issues, things will spread like a wildfire in the social media especially when it comes to wrong information and chain messages in Facebook and Whatsapp. The society tend to believe the upbringing issues without investigate it first. It is disheartening to see on how people have their will to spread something bad about other people in social media and make it viral.

 

MALAYSIA : WHAT I KNOW AND YOU SHOULD KNOW

As we know, people in Malaysia live in multiracial country consist of Malays, Chinese, Indians and others. Malaysia have 13 districts which are Kuala Lumpur as the capital city of country, Pulau Pinang known as ‘Pulau Mutiara’, Kedah is famous with its ‘Jelapang Padi’, Sabah and Sarawak itself are located at the East Malaysia also are the part from Malaysia.

In Malaysia, we can find many foods as each race and religions have their own specialize food. For example, Malays are prominent with lemang, ketupat and chicken rendang be as their main dishes during Hari Raya celebration.  On the other hand, Chinese are known with their chicken porridge, yong tau foo and they tend to eat something which is not too spicy. However, they love to eat laksa and cendol during their tea time.

For instance, as we know, Malaysia is one of the countries that are rapidly developing in aspects of buildings and also moral attitudes. Malaysian can live together as one and they stand hand in hand in order to achieve peace and harmony.

Early Childhood Education Shapes Children Personality

My guiding assumption will be that early childhood education is not about young children as such, but about how teachers and children form relationships that mutually influence each other and that especially influence children. I assume that if I am an early childhood teacher, I will not be satisfied with simply knowing and observing the behavior and capacities of children in general or of my classroom of children in particular. I will also want to do something with my knowledge, even if doing something just means exclaiming how pleased I am with my children’s accomplishments. As a teacher, I will often do more than this, of course: I may engage children in further activities that extend their interests, motives, and abilities. But to call myself a teacher of the young, I must connect with them somehow, which means interacting, relating, and touching their lives in valuable ways.

          Given this perspective and given a focus on the needs of early childhood educators, certain theories and topics about human change and functioning get "promoted" in value to the exclusion of others. As a rule, theories that highlight social influence or collaborative processes are more useful to teachers of young children than viewpoints that leave human interaction out of the picture. A number of classical distinctions become more useful if integrated rather than separated: the classic differences between mind and body, for example, or between thought and feeling, the individual and the social world, or observation and intervention (Seifert, 2001). These binaries will not disappear in this chapter, but they will be more helpful to us as educators if we remember their mutual dependence, especially in the worlds of young children. Integrating the classic binaries alters how we think of "cognition," turning cognitive development into more of a project shared with others, and less of one marked by distancing from the social, emotional, or physical.

          Adopting a relational perspective about cognitive development makes obvious sense for aspects of classroom life that are explicitly social, such as the formation of peer relationships or the effect of early attachments on preschoolers’ behavior. What may be harder to believe may be that a similarly social or collaborative perspective is both possible and helpful for developmental activities that seem less inherently social—including the topic of children’s thinking in particular. We tend to regard cognition as a skill expressed independently—something that is acquired and displayed alone even in the most activity-oriented, developmentally appropriate classroom. But from an adult’s perspective, the independence is illusory: seen in broader context, even a child working alone is still a partner with teachers, peers, and (as I will also argue) unseen others in learning and thinking. Teachers therefore need ways to understand and work with children that acknowledge these partnerships fully. That, at least, is what I will argue below.

          I begin the chapter by clarifying key ambiguities in the concepts of development and of cognitive development in particular. The clarifications will assist in locating the research topics described in the chapter within the larger landscape of developmental theorizing. The topics themselves definitely do not cover the field of child development as an academic field, but they are arguably the two most central concerns of early childhood educators as professionals: pretend play and literacy. Pretend play is especially important to educators working with the youngest children and who seek to provide them with the most developmentally appropriate practice possible. As it turns out, pretend play also clearly supports the claim that cognitive development in early childhood is "really" social. The benefits of this people-oriented activity are very real, but definitely not confined to the social. Because of the focus of the chapter, I will not in fact focus on the social importance of pretend play, but on how pretend play connects to and stimulates particular cognitive skills in young children. As we will see, the cognitive skills are ones that early childhood teachers value, and that they can encourage deliberately.

          The other area of research discussed, literacy development, is especially important to educators working with "older" young children. Because the research shows the importance of the preschool years for literacy, however, the chapter will focus on emergent literacy during both the preschool and early school-years periods. Although some readers may feel that literacy belongs in a chapter on curriculum studies than one about developmental psychology, I will argue the contrary: that literacy both influences and is influenced by cognitive development in early childhood. As these comments suggest, however, the term development can have several meanings—a problem that can cause confusion when not understood. Before going further, therefore, the various meanings of development should be clarified.
