Julius Caesar Cartoon

Do you agree that Brutus had a noble motive when murdering his adopted father, Julius Caesar? Discus

              Gaius Cassius Longinus and Marcus Junius Brutus, Julius Caesar adapted son killed the Caesar with Roman senators when he wants to be a king of Rome. Caesar died in the Theatre of Pompey in front of Roman senators. They stabbed Caesar with knife about 23 times. After they killed Caesar, Brutus says in his speech in front of Roman people that they killed Caesar because he loved Rome and wanted to save Rome from destroy and Caesar domination.

            Brutus had no intention to do all that things since he had been seduced by Cassius to kill his forefather. He did not tell the reason the led to his conviction that he loved Rome than Caesar. Cassius, Decius, Brutus and other Roman senators also gather together to discuss how to kill the Caesar. From what I saw in the cartoon, Brutus refuses to kill the Caesar. He also afraid that Caesar would turn Rome into a Chaos after became a king. 

             When all that things happen, Brutus and Cassius are in a battle with Mark Antony and Octavius and turned Rome into Chaos. Many people were died because of this tragedy. Brutus and Caesar also ran to Philippi because Romans were looking for them to take revenge for Caesar death.
 

            Besides that, Cassius just used Brutus to take kill Caesar for his personal revenge. Cassius really wants to kill Caesar because he wanted to have a power. We can know that Brutus felt guilty in killing his father his hesitated to stab Caesar.

            In my opinion, Brutus did not have a noble motive when murdering his father, he just confuse to make a discussion.

Julius Caesar

Based on the documentary A.B.B, do you think all the vices committed by Julius Caesar were necessary in order to safeguard the superiority of Rome as the greatest civilization in the ancient world?

       Julius Caesar is hailed as a great leader and military genius. Many historians know that Julius Caesar was the greatest leader in ancient time and believe that the superiority of Rome was because of Julius Caesar. But behind his brilliant reputation lurks a more sinister side. He is responsible for murder, mutilation and the destruction of an entire nation. When Caesar arrives in Gaul, the population is six million. When he leaves less than five million remain alive and 1.5 million of those survivors and now slaves.He was known for both fairness & cruelty but his cruelty was calculated in order to consolidate his hold on power. Caesar shows no mercy towards women and children. He supposed to be a great leader but he only watched when women and children want to passed the circumvallation but Caesar did not let them and lastly they died in starvation. He doesn’t have any sympathy towards women and children and scarifying other people life just to protect his army and Rome. Julius Caesar also the master of propaganda.

          Besides that, he was cruel when he ordered his army to cut off every man hands as a warning for those who do not hear his order and were trying to against him. The way Caesar use maybe can scare the people not trying to against him but he never thinking the consequences that he will faced when he do that if he keep to use the method.

    Other than that, when he having the battles to dominate the other countries many people will died. Example when he approached to Avaricum, many people had been slaughtered by his army. Lastly, Caesar also had sexual dominance when slept with many women including his friends’ wives. He always has sexual behaviour. Based on the reason, I think that Julius Caesar’s vices were unnecessary in order to protect Rome.

          

Jack the Ripper in America

There were many suspects in the JTR murders over the years. What is the evidence that supports the claim that James Kelly was JTR? If you are rival detective, how do you eliminate all the evidence that you’ve identified in the documentary.

 James Kelly was first identified as a suspect in Prisoner because murdered his wife in 1883 by stabbing her in the neck. A retired NYPD detective named Ed Norris examined the Jack the Ripper and claims that James Kelly was not only Jack the Ripper’s real identity because he also the potential suspect of the serial killing which also happen in America. Ed Norris choose James Kelly because he worked as furniture upholster and capable to murdering with a knife, he is diagnosed of mental disorder, killed his wife with knife and he was in New York at the time of a Ripper-like murder.

                If I rival detective, I will says that Kelly was insane but most forensic psychologists and psychiatrist agree that Jack the Ripper was not insane. He was declared insane, so he didn't know what was going on when he lashed out his wife or stabbed her in the neck. He actually insane before being sent to asylum and the rule in English Law for judging insanity was whether or not the person knows what they were doing was wrong.Why Jack the Ripper came to the US and we already know that the reason the killing stopped in London.People know that the killer will have very good knowledge about White chapel  so they believe he lived there and why should he came to US that he doesn't know more about that place. Now, i'm still cannot decide who the real Jack the Ripper. Who?

From Hell

Distinguish between facts and fictions that are portrayed in the movie & which aspect of the plot that is accurate to the historical fact in the JTR murders and which aspect of the plot that is based on the filmmakers’ own imagination.

I have read the story about Jack the Ripper and watched From Hell starring Johnny Deep and Heather Graham, I notice that there have different between facts and fiction  that are portrayed in the movie and historical fact in the Jack the Ripper.  In the film, Martha Tabram is describe to be killed by having her throats and vagina cut off but in real life she had suffered 39 stab wounds. She was stabbed rather than slashed at the throat and abdomen.  Second victim if I not mistaken was Polly Nichols had one of her organs removed but in reality no organs were missing. No grape stalks were found at any of the crime scenes like the film. We all know that Mary Jane Kelly is actually the last victims of the ripper, but in the film she is not the last victim but another girl being murdered in Mary’s bed.  There is nothing to say that Mary survived and live with Alice, Anna daughter in Ireland.

                Marry Jane Kelly was died when her throat had been severed down to the spine, and the abdomen virtually emptied of its organs, and the heart was missing. In the film, the murder put the Mary heart in a jar. In the film, Ada, stride friends have been mistaken as Mary.  There also no evidence that all the victims was a friends although they came from same area. In the film, Martha, Marry, Polly, Annie, Liz and Catherine was friends and always been together.  There also no evidence that Inspector Frederick Abberline used opium or drug and less being addicted to “chasing the dragon” and died alone commit suicide, immediately after the Ripper murders. The true is Abberline is retired in 1892 until 1929 and died in his house.

        

ANCIENT ALIENS: THE EVIDENCE

State several evidence which support the ancient astronaut theory. Discuss whether you agree or disagree to the evidence that you have identified.

                 

                 Based on the movie I have watched Ancient Aliens: The Evidence, I have found several evidence which support the ancient astronaut theory. That was small wood model of birds (I want to fly) was called Scara Bird. Nazca Dessert has ancient designs with simple lines and geometric shapes. They have drawings of animals, birds and humans on the wall and land. We can only figures the design way up in the air. They also found small figurine just looks like insects and fish and gold object like the airplane.

            Apart from that, the airship, fly machine dimannas (Pukma Vimana) can control with mentality. The figure was used to guide spaceships when they came in for a landing, and the lines as runways. Then, they have found Sanskrit epics which were written in India. Those things contain references to mythical flying machines called Vimanas. People say that Vimanas looks like UFOs, ancient aliens from other planets visited India during that time. Flying carpet by King Salomon also being says by people back then.

            Other than that, giant human figure with enormous heads also been found at Easter Island. These statues stand 13 feet high and weigh 14 tons, and can be much heavier. That work was their mark on the island. They also found a field of stone ruins scattered with giant carved blocks. The blocks were made with precise workmanship on a beautiful scale. Who the person build the blocks without modern tools and engineering techniques? Lastly, the book of Ezekiel part of the Bible, they believe that bible was containing of the vehicle’s design that have modern spaceship. There have a book name The Spaceship of Ezekiel.

            My opinion, I disagree to the evidence that they have found. All that things, left by ancient people. They draw and build by themselves without help from aliens and other else. Maybe they do with their own skills. We do not know what skills they have and we simply says that they get help from aliens. We all know in this world, aliens do not even exist. Ancient people have much creativity that we do not know. Example likes pyramid in Egypt, their skills to build that huge thing.

            As the conclusion, in this world have many things that we not discovered yet. Can the ancient astronaut find what ancient people left to us?  We have to keep the treasures left by ancient people and not damaging the precious treasures.  

SUPER SIZE ME

Based on the facts presented in this documentary are you convinced that fast food is the main cause of obesity in United States and around the world?

        

                Many people believe that there is an epidemic of obesity in America. Certain Americans eat poorly and eats too much fast food for the daily sustenance. If you want to know, 46 millions fast food were served daily. As we know, there are a lot of fast food Company in this world such as Mc Donald’s, KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Wendy and others. Mc Donald also in danger of its fore were well known. Many people like to eat Mc Donald because its variety of choice likes super size and Big Mac. Mc Donald also have a case when two girls failed to allege that consumption of food caused their injuries when eats that fast foods.

            Morgan Spurlock does the research that wills fast food cause the obesity among the people in Super Size Me. For me, I think fast food not the main causes to the obesity. There have other causes that can cause the obesity to people in United States. Morgan takes 30 days challenge to eat only fast food during that day. Before he takes the challenge, he sees the doctor and nutrition to take the advice and body test. Many fast food companies do not provide food that is nutritionally in general. What I know, some foods in nutrition outlets have menu that are healthier than others menu, but many people do not prefer to order the nutritious foods. Did they know that, fast food have many calories which put weight on them?

            Many people not eat the proper foods for great health, so this also can cause the obesity. They refuse to eat vegetables, fruits and vitamins for supplements. They also lack of exercise. After eat, they not do the exercise, just lying down or doing something that can cause to obesity. Each people should try doing vigorous exercise every day. Many things can cause the obesity not just eat the fast food. Obesity can occur according to his body immunity not the fast food.

            Besides that, other factor cause the obesity around the people is their mentality. As we know, people easily can be influenced by free food and advertisement. When Mc Donald or other fast food company make a new flavour and advertise it on television or newspaper, people will attract with the colourful and yummy illustration. A person’s genetic may contribute to obesity.

            As the conclusion, fast food is not the main cause of obesity in United States and around the people. This problem is cause by people itself and environment around us. We can eat the fast food but only our self can control the nutrition.

Choose one of the three guests featured on the talk show 101 East. Then apply discourse analysis. State whether you agree or disagree towards the proposition, premises and arguments that you have identified.

The Malaysian New Economic Policy (NEP or DEB) was an ambitious and controversial socio-economic restructuring affirmative action program launched by the Malaysian government in 1971 under the then Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak. The NEP ended in 1990, and was succeeded by the National Development Policy in 1991. In Al Jazeera 101 East: Malaysian Affirmative Action the guest that I choose is Chow Kon Yeow who is a senior Democratic Action Party (DAP).

Discourse Analysis

Conclusion

The issue about NEP, most people do not agree and says that it unfair to them.  

Preposition / Claim

NEP just can make a trouble to them and racism problem

Premise 1

NEP give economic advantage to the rich Bumiputras, such as quotas in ownership of public company stock, and housing being sold exclusively to Bumiputras

Argument 1

Unfair to the poor Bumiputras because of government favouritism.

Premise 2

NEP has many corruption and abuse around the society

Argument 2

Malay people and Bumiputras not have been given enough facilities. They just concerned about people that has a strong influence in politics.   

I will say that I disagree what Chow Kon Yeow says about NEP. He is not telling the fact about this issue.  What I have state in preposition, NEP just make can make a trouble to Malay and Bumiputras and racism problem. Several policies of the NEP which give economic advantage to the rich Bumiputras, such as Bumiputra quotas in ownership of public company stock, and housing being sold exclusively to Bumiputras, are viewed as discriminatory.

Furthermore, premise 2, NEP has many corruption and abuse among the politician and society. In 2008, the chief minister of the state of Penang, Lim Guan Eng, made a breakthrough decision whereby he announced that the new state administration will be free from NEP. This statement made a big mistake to DAP. Many Malay people made a protest against that issue.
