Thank You

I would like to thank all reader of this blog for the whole semester, not forgetting our beloved lecturer Sir Ahmad bin Ibrahim.

By now most of you know what grade you get in Ethnic Relation subject =)

How many of you got an A?

anyone failed this subject?

Are you satisfy with the grade?

Well for me, I thought I can get better grade (I got B- the lowest grade in any of my subject I have taken so far....LoL ), maybe because I did really bad in the final examination. In the class I know, I'm quite active voicing out my "opinion" than my other classmate. Well at least I tried my best.

I learn a lot during Sir Ahmad class, the style of teaching is different from other lecturers. I think among all the PBMSK subject I have taken so far, you are by far most relax lecturer, and I enjoyed every class that I attend. The assignment you give us is not too big burden to carry. But, you are the most strict lecturer. What I hate about this subject is, this subject got FINAL EXAMINATION compare to other subject PBMSK offer. Because of this subject and Islamic Institution , my final examination schedule pretty much screwed. In one day I got double paper, and both paper are three credit hour. I bet most of us got really bad grade for the Electromagnetic Field Theory.

Lastly I'm sorry for all the trouble we have cause you (if any), and thank you for all the lecturer that have teach us during the whole semester.



I'm thinking of taking over this blog and continue it with more diverse material.

This can be done in several ways, first is by introducing plan or goal that promote unity for example the National Education Blueprint 2006. Second we should introduce one school system where all races will come to study and mix with each other. Third is introducing one main language where all people can speak, understand and use as daily communication. All this goal must be plan carefully and done right in order to get positive result.

Result for Survey.

Assalamualaikum and very good morning to our blog readers.after long time we had not post any update from this blog,so this time let me give an entry that talk and discuss about the social relations between races also religious.this topic is based on our last class with our lecturer Mr Ahmad.Nowadays our generations could be only know about social networking that entertain them by connecting with each others such as Facebook also Myspace. The social relations is a relation between living organisms (especially between people) . As we know,our country is in condition beware about the sensitivity of other races and religious because it will bring up the history of our country again.

In this class we were taught about the point to involved with the social relation such as firstly is cooperation. Cooperation,no one of religious denied about this point in their teachings,because this point can make the good thinking between races and religious with each others. As an example that i can give here is as a Muslim when there is a wedding event in my village,most of the villagers will come out and helping the family of bridegroom to settle the thing need to be done. That's why in Islam if there is the weeding or ‘Nikah’of their children, the family need announce it with do the ‘big works as Kelantan people said.

The second i get from the class session is brotherhood. In our country the is still have the spirit of brotherhood even not much.this sow during the big accident happen on the highway plus at 10 October 2010 that is a lot of victim died(AL-fatihah to the victims).during this accident the people that see or passing the accident place will stop and will help the victims and they does not care either the victim is Malay,Chinese or Indian. The point is they just need help.

The third is understanding of each other in this country. This point sould we assimilate in our heart to make we know the sensitivity of others. We need and should know the sensitivity of others to avoid the history happen again.

The last but not least is love, love is not only between couple as we see noadays but it should have between friends because when we love our friends we will understnd them and become close with each others and in Islam also we had being teach to give our love mostly to our parent who give birth and take care of us from baby and second is to our brothers and sisters of islam and then to other human beings.

As a conclusion the relation betweenraces and religious in our country is not only be proud with the slogan”1 Malaysia” only but we also need to apply a few things to achieve it.

Thank you for reading and next update wll come later. Be proud with our Religious,country and our life.

see this short video to motivate all of us.lets gain back our spirit..

Picture above is the activity that we done in Ethnics Relationship class on July 22, 2010.
The objective of this activity is to find 12 basic concepts of Ethnic Relations.
And also we need to find the meaning of each concepts that we find out.

The meaning of 12 basic concepts of Ethnic Relations :

Assimilation is synonym with integration where if someone integrates into a social group, or is integrated into it, they behave in such a way that they become part of the group or are accepted into it.

Segregation is the official practice of keeping people apart, usually people of different sexes, races, or religions.

Accommodation has three meanings. First meaning is used to refer to buildings or rooms where people live or stay. Second meaning is space in buildings or vehicles that is available for certain things, people, or activities. Lastly accommodation means an agreement between different people which enables them to exist together without trouble.

Prejudice is an unreasonable dislike of a particular group of people or things, or a preference for one group of people or things over another.

Discrimination has two meaning that is the practice of treating one person or group of people less fairly or less well than other people or groups and the ability to recognize and understand the differences between two things.

Enculturation is the process by which a person learns the requirements of the culture by which he or she is surrounded, and acquires values and behaviours that are appropriate or necessary in that culture.

Racism is the belief that people of some races are inferior to others, and the behaviour which is the result of this belief.

Nation is an individual country considered together with its social and political structures and is sometimes used to refer to all the people who live in a particular country.

Stereotype is a fixed general image or set of characteristics that a lot of people believe represent a particular type of person or thing.If someone is stereotyped as something, people form a fixed general idea or image of them, so that it is assumed that they will behave in a particular way.

Acculturation is the exchange of cultural features that results when groups of individuals having different cultures come into continuous first hand contact; the original cultural patterns of either or both groups may be altered, but the groups remain distinct.

Ethnocentric is synonym with racism based on the ideas and beliefs of one particular culture and using these to judge other cultures.

Pluralism is Synonym plurality where If there is pluralism within a society, it has many different groups and political parties..
