Believe In The Power Of Words

An ensemble cast lead by Washington that includes Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker,
comes THE GREAT DEBATERS. 

“ Who is the judge? Judge is God. Why is he God? Because he decided who win or loses not my opponent.  Who is your opponent? He doesn’t exist. Why he doesn’t exist? Because he is a mere a dissenting voice to the truth I speak.”

That is one of sayings in movie The Great Debaters which really make me speechless and impresses with the inspirational and the teamwork in the debate group. This inspired true story is from chronicles journeys of Professor Melvin Tolson which is brilliant debate coach who uses the power of words to shape the group of underdog students which from a African American small college in rural state named Wiley College. 

The first time I’m watching this movie I feel like what I had through in my life is just very small part of real life. This out of the ordinary movie had grab my attention because of the spirit and the teamwork apply in the debate group is so incredible. Every each part in this movie courage my valiant and thinking openly style. Plus, in this movie it showed how to communicate very well in public and grab their attention with your first word came out from your mouth. This is such an amazing.

For me as I am communication major, this movie both more or less had courage me and exposed me with how to use the ordinary words but at the end being such pretentious power of words that can make the audience think at the moment. To be excellent in group, teamwork is very essential. I can see that how they work and cooperation between the members of the group that make them succeeds to the last level of their debate.

Last but not least, the way they face all the challenges to achieve the highest level stunned me. The coach and the members be so strong physical and mentally all the way just to reach their goal till the final. This is how we should work to finish what we had started. I won’t ever escape the chance to watch this movie again in future to inspire me more. J

Por No !

Pornography. This word is getting used to teenagers nowadays even as young as 11 years old kid. The obsession or addiction to pornography leads them to imperfectly daily life basis which will get distracted with all these things. I have the same opinion that pornography should be banned. Other than it is not good for teenagers or people who watching it, it also being a danger to a either girl or women. This is because boys or men will put girls or women as their sexual objects. In pornography, it is often  women being raped  and force to do  as their want, so the viewers will assume that  women are enjoying this acts and foremost will make the men this is what they should do to. As it’s a graphic of women either in words or visualisation, it is easily can harm to the girls and women.   

Regarding to Michael Herkov- a PHD holder in sexual study, he states that Sexual addiction is best described as a progressive intimacy disorder characterized by compulsive sexual thoughts and acts. For some sex addicts, behavior does not progress beyond compulsive masturbation or the extensive use of pornography or phone or computer sex services. Sex addicts do not necessarily become sex offenders. Moreover, not all sex offenders are sex addicts. Roughly 55 percent of convicted sex offenders can be considered sex addicts.

As we can conclude here, pornography is not the right way to get self-pleasure and must be evade even though it is hard to do so.  The addict must learn the value of his self as a whole person, rather than as a sexual object.   By doing this they are able to develop a new sense of themselves.  They begin to appreciate their sense of strength and purpose.  They begin to take responsibility for their own lives and happiness. Then a new way of looking at life emerges. There are so many other beneficial activities that can be done to get your self-medicating.  Live your life with the right and pace way.

Thinking Folly

Are you a thinker?

“Thinking Folly” –is an article written by Eckhart Tolle, is a contemporary of spiritual teacher. In the article, he states his opinion that he believes that thinking has become a sickness. According to him, we rarely use our mind wrongly, but in fact we didn’t use at all. We are the one had been used by our own mind. Actually, this is the virus. As we trust our mind, we be like slave to our mind. All our actions are actually being done through our mind order without us realizing it.

For me, I’m not agreeing with what being assured by Eckhart Tolle regarding thinking is a disease and as a controller of our mind. As I concern, thinking is a way which human uppermost mental capability to think which anything that starts with problem and will ends with solutions for good. And strongly I’m saying that we are not the slave to our own mind. All the aspects in the world and our surroundings are start with our mind and all of that are starts with thinking. Plus, with thinking, we can adapt ourselves with everything either social or physical.

We can take an example for the engineer and scientist or inventor. They always come out with something new and useful ideas to generate the country well. They are not don’t know to think, they just don’t know how to stop thinking. With thinking as well, we decide what is wrong and right to us. Thinking always helps us to make everything in sense. Without thinking, people will go astray. That is why thinking is our important weapon for everything. So as my conclusion, we are not the slave of our mind but we are the one and only who control our mind with come out of an action. 

So Lets 

All The Cool Kids Are Quitting Facebook

This is my second entry for this subject. We now knew less or more about the degree of happiness in my previous blog. For now, its a bit converse from the happiness. it is about something that being one of the factors ruined one's happiness.


Familiar with the word facebook? well, i'm pretty sure that almost everyone know what is facebook and at least one facebook account. Facebook is a well known social networking site. pI hardly find some people who doesn't have facebook account. Of course if  people misuse it then it can spread bad message into society and world. I have heard some people open duplicate facebook account in view to hamper someone's reputation. Which is totally bad.

facebook is the most popular social network 

The articles that i read title ' All the cool kids are quitting facebook'. Arent those whoseon facebook are not cool they mean? so people..lets take a look the bad side of facebook that makes these cool kids quitting the facebook. the first most bad side of facebook is, once the user started facebooking, they didnt realize that they are leading to addicted to it. You will start lose interest with your surroundings and just being in your own world. . The second bad effect is that your real-world social interaction will start diminishing. There is no doubt that you are going to have hundreds of friends on facebook, but with how many of them would you be interacting out in the real world. As a human being, you are a social creature and you naturally require real-world social interaction. When you are going to spend maximum of your time on the Internet, you are going to decrease your communication and social skills. This not good to be lead in your life as you need that in real life eithere school or working. 

Next i'm sure that erything happens in your life, you feel like sharing with your contacts on your status line. You post your thoughts and you expect the comment and when the comment comes, you smile if you like it or you frown if it’s not what you expected. All of a sudden, completely strangers are important to you and their comments leverage your value as a person. And unconsciously you classify people into ‘good’ and ‘bad’ without even knowing them. Obviously, as it happens with real friendships, you don't have the same degree of communication and contact with all online friends, but you cannot really tell who is who since you have never met them. Still, you value them like real Other tahn that, your profile page is full of information about you, who you are, where you work at, what is your favourite music, your favourite movies, books and TV series, what are your religious and political beliefs, your studies and your interests. You share too much information with other people, who are totally strangers. 

               

Those are some bad effect that maybe can help you to make your decision of the degree to which you want this social networking site enter into your life. Either you get addicted to it that certainly will give you problems in your life  or avoid using this nnon-productive products in your life, you are away from troubles.

Your life. You decide. :)

The Degree Of Happiness

                                       

The article by a British philosopher, Betrand Athur William Russell had make us realized how happiness being defined in our community. As the title itself, ‘The Degree of Happiness’ , shows that there is intermediate degrees in happiness which make them defined and classified in some sort of way. The word happiness mean mental state if well-being by positive emotions that intense to joy. Not  everyone in the world is born with a sunny disposition, but experts agree that we can learn how to bring more meaning and satisfaction into our life. Well, I guess we all are familiar with how people thinking and their own perception. We have that mind thinking in our community. The different level of lifestyle, position and also education, always being the factors to people to derive someone’s happiness. In our society itself always synonym to label that poor people are less happy while the rich people enjoying the happiness with full of excitement. This kind of mind set sometimes have to be an open eye to some kind of people as there are many true life story that proved their perception is totally wrong. For example, let’s see towards education and the standard of living. In poor family, their children always be the one who well success in education compared to the rich family. This is because in their mind, they need to study and success to help and change the family’s life. They will put an effort to achieve this. Can you imagine how happy the parents are? While compared to rich family side, the children know they can easily get what they want from their parents. So they won’t even bother to put an effort to achieve an extra ordinary achievement. On the other hand, they not only being pampered, thus those pleasure and comfort that they have are always being misused. So, indirectly it is for sure will give trouble to the parents somehow. In the nut shell, from my point of view, it is does not really matter one’s intellectual and position in life can guarantee their happiness. There is no accurate perception on this.

Happiness lies in joys of achievement and thrill of creative efforts. :)
