Advertisement

Today, I saw a back number advertisement which is same as below :


I got this advertisement from an exhibition a few month ago. This advertisement is very funny because there is attaching with a tablet of Paracetamol which we are called as painkiller. From this advertisement the company was make an assumption which is all people may relief their headache pain by taking Paracetamol. But in the real life, Paracetamol with 625mg should only suitable for adult. It is not suitable for children. The amount should a child taken for Paracetamol should be less than 500mg and this amount should be calculate from their age,size and so on. So the company make an incorrect assumption.

And the company state that "having headache trying to send big file attachments?" How big the file attachments the company asked. The big file attachments is standing for the size of the file attachments or the big number of the file attachments and so on. This advertisement is full of vague words and ambiguity words. This may leads the readers misunderstanding and misleading. As a conclusion, we must be careful when write a statement.

Merdeka



National Day is coming soon.....
Still have another 2 hours 47minutes will be the 51st Malaysia's Birthday.....

Every year a lot of people try their best to go to the KLCC for the countdown celebration. Initially, I also want to go to KLCC with my friends for celebrate the National Day like the previous years but this time I cannot go with them because I'm sick. I'm getting a heavy flu.....

All my friends persuade me to go with them by saying that all of the Malaysian are celebrating the National Day in the KLCC. Everyone is doing so. As a Malaysian, I also need to celebrate the National Day in the KLCC. Futhermore, they tell me that every year we will go to the KLCC for the National Day Celebration and this is one of our custom so this year we also need to do so.

At this moment, I know my friends are trying to persuade me by using Ad populum Appeal to Common Practice and Ad populum Appeal to Tradition.



Finally, I want to say Happy Birthday to our country,Malaysia.
Happy Birthday, Malaysia

A Story

Today, I had a dinner with my ex-colleague,Mariam. Mariam was just come back from UK. She told me a story which is her neighbour told her when she was live in Southampton. The title for the story is A Wise Teacher.


The story is as the following :

A primary school teacher sends this note to all parents on the first day of school : " If you promise not to believe everything your child says happens at school, I'll promise not to be believe everything he says happens at home"..........

This note which is the teacher was sent is a deductive statement because the statement contain one hypothetical syllogism.

The condition for Hypothetical Syllogism is If A then B so in this situation the :

  • A is the parent do not believe what their child said and
  • B is the teacher also do not said anything


After listen to the story, I realize that all the matters around us are related with what we learn in the Critical Thinking class. And the reason why we need to study the Critical Thinking.
LUCKILY, I have the chance to learn the Critical Thinking.....

My First Time

For the BCT subject, I sacrifice my first time which is write a blog.....

I never write blog before and only be the person who read people's blog.

Now, I have the opportunity to learn how to write a blog.

Before I create a blog, I must get a gmail account first. For me, register for an acoount for gmail is very easy because i learn it before. So, I still remember how to register for an account for the gmail. This is what we called as Implicit Knowledge.

After register the gmail, I start to follow the instructions from Madam Aznur because I do not know how to create a new blog account. So, I just follow the step provided by Madam Aznur in the MMLS and I know that it is an Explicit Knowledge.

My effort finally bear fruit. I successful to create my own blog which the URL is www.b120015joanne.blogspot.com. This is my first time to create a blog.

Bye bye to my first time, I will remember 29th August 2008 forever because this is the day for my first blog have been created. I will miss 'you' very much.....

" That Day You Went Away "
