Reflection # 3



Next week, we will be in a serious challenge with E7's  waves. It is the time of passing across or failing into the bottom of the E7's ocean. When I look at my classmates faces, I wonder who of us will be the victim? As E7 is greed, it would swallow up a lot us. It is not surprising if one-third of the class fail.

Since I have started studying in REW there are some  of my classmates fail every module and one day I was one of them. In that day I was studying in E6 module "A" and I failed reading. Fortunately,  it was module "A" and I had compensated this fall with module "B" and by the end of that E6, I bassed.  No one time all my class members passed. It have to be victims in each module. Yes our teachers have been injected inside us  a lot of anti-fail, however, some of us had fail and I am sure in this module, too. I hope all of us pass and there is no one of us would fail.

Really, I don't like this word "fail".  I do not like the feeling of "fail", I don't like failing aspects on people's faces. I hate everything connected with "failing". Since a long time, many people have said that, ((the failing creates the success)), but why we have to fail in order to successes? Should I have to fail, in favour of creating success? Anyway I don't want to argue this ridiculous aphorism now. when I hear this accursed word (fail), all of my body hair chill and my heart beats rapidly. Oh Allah !!  why you created this painful event in our life?? Why we have to face this unjust experience one day in our life?? Why we have to cry in order to taste flavor of happiness??

My mum always says : "there are a lot of these questions. They are open, which means that there are no answer to them. The only answer to them is that (It is the nature of our life). And we must accept this nature of this life". In fact, It is a smart message from my mother. She was preparing her son to the features of potential failures in one day. Thank you my mum, because of your words, I coped with one experience of failure here in REW. But I don't want to repeat this experience again in E7.

Finally, from the bottom of my heart, I wish all of my classmates to success, and finish this long journey in REW. And many thanks in advance to our teachers, for everything they are doing for us to cross safely through E7, regardless of what may be the results of us by the end of this module.

Subject: diversity of languagues brings numerous benefits

I strongly believe that because of encouraging variation
linguistic, this nation will enjoy numerous benefits from it. Firstly, language
is cultural identity and It is also contain nation's knowledge. There will a
lot of things transmitted through language. Therefore, imagine if there are
great languages in one country, how much knowledge will be contained in it? For
instance, knowledge about traditional medical: acupuncture, massages or herbal
and so on.   Diversity linguistic also poses economic
benefits due to the fact that this country can trade, negotiate, discuss and
have an agreement with different countries easier. Thus, I think the government
should encourage diversity linguistic in their nations.

     It is my pleasure to participate in this interest desiccation and share my opinion about this issue. In fact, migration from one place to another has existed since human being has emerged. In past, people move from one place to another place where they can find their necessity for themselves and their animals. In the present time, migration has many different forms and many different reasons. While some people immigrate in order to find better life standard. Some of them immigrate for political causes. While others travel to another place temporary but when they arrive, they changed their mind to stay forever.

     Everybody has his own culture and his mother language. When they move, they transfer everything with them, their culture, language and customs. Some of them resist the new culture, and try to keep his native aspects alive while others fail. Many people think that government should pass law to force them to leave their culture. However, others are not so sure. In this dissection I'm going to present my opinion which is totally against the idea of passing law to force immigrants to leave their heritages.

     First of all, diversity of culture in one  community leads to  a strong community. Take the USA as an example about this issue.  Many people believe that due to the US's diversity, USA's societies are strong. Some of them went farther and said that with the first wave of immigrants who came to the USA, American's communities have became much more stronger.

     The second reason is that, diversity of culture is a clear signal about the beauty and alive of the community. People can present their own culture and customs in their own way. This situation can be clearly seen in Melbourne where there is a lot of different ethnic groups live together. In Melbourne, there are different styles of life for different ethnic people. There are Chinese restaurant for example, or Japanese, Arabic and Italian. There is also China Town, where  everyone can enjoy Chinese atmosphere and can see whole China in the heart of Melbourne. In Sydney Road for instance, people enjoy Arabic aspects and they can know whatever they want about Arab.

    To sum up, because of  the previous reasons, governments should not force immigrants to lose their heritageunless the governments have special considerations or have a real reason to  force them to lose their cultures and their own language.
