Oh No, 该不该去挑战“忆厉王”呢?

没想到八度空间拨电话来了
Oh No!!!
还叫我28或29/8去面试
不懂那里是什么场面?
说真的，我没想过会入选“忆厉王”
不过离上电视的路还有很远吧?
还要经过筛选的.....

因为之前没挑战过这种电视益智节目
而且这一次，节目的参加年龄刚好符合！
之前的节目    我要尝试可没机会
因为不是给小学生   就是中学生
可这次的节目是给18岁以上参加的
哈哈，我有机会啦!
但是，会出的问题相比之下
会难很多.............>>>

我以为碰碰运气
就参加网上甄选，结果。。。!!
唉，现在心情既开心又烦恼
不知道要不要去面试呢~
我知道这是很难得的经历::
但还要分心去读书咯
Trial离现在还有16天啊!!!  (学校的白板写的)
头痛头痛**

说真的    我觉得我没这三强
什么忆力    眼力    智力都要强~!!
呵呵     冒汗了。=
不知你们谁又有中选叻？
有的话不妨告诉我哈

少有的Update新闻

时间过得超快的耶! 还有99天：：：

STPM就到了~

这时候的我   要做最后冲刺咯

虽然知道成绩不会很优秀。。。

所以   过后的我会更少上来Update了

Trial 要到了   有点紧张

毕竟是STPM前  最后一次测验啦!!

功课多得像座山一样   我怕再不去做

就会永远不干了     所以又得去做功课了

再见    祝我好运

也祝所有学生考试顺利!

无敌状元第二届总决赛即将在六天后展开呛！分享篇

哈   在校园里做了个小调查
顺便来分享下♥
没想到"无敌状元"竟然激起我写部落格的冲动!
结果显示    星期日晚上七时
有一部分的人是没看任何节目
一部分的看幸福任务
说真的    我“个人”觉得
幸福任务不是很好看     很闷
但朋友说通过这节目能够了解婚礼策划人的工作  
而另一部分就是观看无敌状元啦!

无敌状元   啦啦啦啦
无敌状元   啦啦啦啦
说真的   一开始听这部曲就觉得特是好笑!
你觉得呢?
无敌状元的主持人   蛮喜欢

更深入了解   才明白原来观看无敌状元节目
是受父母的影响   当然    包括我在内嘻嘻^^
其实这可能是因为父母想孩子成才的心情吧？
自己的孩子没上无敌状元
看别人的孩子应该能满足自己？

不做探花    不做榜眼    只做无敌状元
熟悉的对白    没想到转眼间就来到尾声了!
下星期日    就是龙争虎斗的日子
其实我还蛮期待的    毕竟觉得现在的孩子太聪颖了
以前的时代   哪有这样的机会啊?

哈哈
新山宽柔二校    槟城韩江小学    礼让建国学校
你支持哪一队?   写到这
不禁让我想起世界杯的美好时光
哎呀  你支持哪一队啊?! 
德国？ 荷兰？抑或是西班牙？

听说去年由槟城学校摘下冠军!
今年也有槟城学校入三甲了! 会是韩江小学吗?
呵呵   实不相瞒    我支持新山宽柔二校！
其实说真的   进到前三甲    实力不容看小
可谓旗鼓相当    就视当天的运气罢了
就拿 智勇状元 单元来说
倘若抽到难题   那学生可忧愁了
但假如学生刚好会那题  
那分分钟可以帮助学生起死回生  扭转乾坤啦!
看无敌状元常常出现类似的情况

不到最后一分钟    都不知鹿死谁手
所以除了实力外    运气也非常重要哇
所以各个学校要多多加油   也祝你们好运!
新山队  要加油哇! 我看好你们~
去年拿第四     今年要拿第一哦+

Essay 15: ETHNIC RELATIONS

This essay just give an idea about the ethnic relations.

FUNCTIONALISM THEORIES


most concerned with majority-minority relations because of their potential for serious disruption in a society, i.e. it is not functional for a society to become severely divided along lines of race, ethnicity or religion

if a society has ethnic inequality, one of two conditions must be present – either the inequality itself is meeting some kind of social need in the society, or more likely the inequality is a result of some social condition that is in some ways useful to society

in general sense of stratification: possible function - creates incentives, e.g. in terms of jobs some jobs are more critical to the functioning of society and require longer, more difficult periods of training and thus these jobs carry greater rewards, therefore socioeconomic inequality is necessary and inevitable – however no explanation is given for why stratification should occur on basis of race or ethnicity

in case of race, ethnic minorities fill an important need by their willingness to work at jobs and/or wages that are unattractive to others but needed – fills essential jobs, especially true for immigrant minorities who view such positions as superior to those available in their place of origin, and can be applied to rural migrants to cities

Key function: it sees ethnic stratification not so much as something that is useful to society itself but rather ethnic stratification is the product of ethnocentrism which is what is useful – because society needs a shared identity, a "we" feeling, cooperation which is only possible when society’s members share certain basic values

most functionalists agree that ethnic stratification is a problem and it ought to be minimized but it is seen as inevitable as long as there is diversity within a society, because of need for consensus and group identity, ethnocentrism will always tend to occur


The ways to minimize ethnocentrism are:
to reduce cultural differences between dominant group and minorities

to eliminate legal and other barriers set up by dominant group to exclude minorities,
 to develop any skills that may be lacking in the minority groups to enable them to participate in society

this will result in assimilation which is only way out


Criticisms:
burden of change is on minority groups


minority groups will experience hostility

most inequality is inherited not earned and there is not free mobility between generations, and thus incentive argument cannot work
