why Hollywood does not tell the truth story ?

Everyone is aware of the huge sums of money that are earned by people in the entertainment industry. But, what you may not be aware of is that it’s not only the movie stars that make enormous sums of money. The creative people behind the television shows and movies are also paid fantastic sums of money. For example, a creative producer of a reality television show could make as much as $50,000 per episode. But the question is why some of the producer did not produce the truth stories based on the “truth stories”? Have you ever thought like “why would someone make a movie about this?” or like “oh come on, I could come up with something better than that?” "For me, there are several reasons why they choose that way. First, as we all know every person life’s not good as what they planned and not perfect as what they want. Sometimes, the producers produce the stories by not telling the truth because they want to cover the shamed about the people .It is something not good and not appropriate when we reveal others weakness or shame . In other words, do not want the audience influenced by something that not good for them. Second is, the producer wants to gain the more profit by not reveal or produce the stories based on the ‘truth’. Producer trying to make the story by follow the trend of the story. The adding of the scene can make the story more interested and gain the attention of the audiences.

Prisoners to get varsity-level courses.

     My opinion about the newspaper excerpt entitle “Prisoners to get varsity-level courses” dated 3 March, 2013 taken from New Strait Times. My opinion as a response to be sent to viewpoint is the prisoner’s needs the education even they are committed the crime. The education is important to them because it very helpful for them once they are release from the prison or after serving their sentence. People never look down to them even they are ex-prisoners because of the education that they have. The education may help them to find the jobs. They may also apply the educations or skill that they have learned along they are in prison. Next of my opinion is, they suppose to get the education because of their right. As we all know, every each person have their own right on education even the person is the prisoners. They have their own right same as like other normal people. For example, the prisoners manage to study. It can be proven by “The Open University Malaysia has offered 10 scholarships in various fields to the prisoners. Currently, 24 inmates are studying for their diplomas and degrees. “Since July last year, 1,764 prisoners had received certificates in skills training and 703 obtained certificates for other achievements”. As for the conclusion, I’m totally agree and do support with the government to give the varsity level courses to the prisoners.

Stereotyping

Stereotyping is exaggerated generalizations associated with a categorizing system, they go beyond the facts at hand and make claims that usually have no valid basis. It is also something that most people find difficult to avoid from doing. Roger and Steinfalt (1999) define a stereotype as “a generalization about some group of people that oversimplifies their culture.” Why do people stereotype? Bruno (1999) observes, “The tribal drum beats in all societies, warning members of the tribe, even those who are different tribal behavior, from religious warfare in Northern Ireland and the Middle East etc. Aliport (1958) originally observed that people are more likely to stereotype individuals and groups with whom they have little contact. For example, “you might have a whole set of beliefs about Middle Eastern Muslim women, many of whom cover their bodies and faces and walk well behind their husbands. Sometimes, stereotyping occurs because people have had a negative or positive experience with a person from another culture or co-culture. In one investigation people stereotyped black people after only one observation of a negative behavior.”

Baby-for-sale racket

“If money were the only criterion by which a child’s welfare can be gauged, then a baby bought for as much as RM40, 000 on the black market would seem set for life. For money- rich but child-poor couples, it is a small price to pay to introduce a small life into their home. The cot is gilded, the blanket monogrammed, the college fund filled to the brim. All that’s wanting is a bun in the oven. And where there is a baby-for-sale racket, money can indeed buy happiness. And after all, why not?” My view for this statement is I do support the decision that made by poor couple by sold their child to rich couple that willing to buy that child. The baby was bought for as much as Rm40, 000. According to the statement, the poor couple was not able to support their child’s life even their own life also was not stable. In other words, when they sold the child, the child will get better life with the money rich couple. The child will get better education and not impossible the child’s life will be more comfortable. The burden for poor family also will be lighter. In the nut shell about my view about this statement, I may conclude that, what the poor couple had done which is by sold their child it is does not mean they are cruel parents. But, they believed they will do anything in the way to make sure their children will get better life and guarantee life with the new rich family after this.

But for me, at the first time I was heard regarding this subject, uuuu. How I’m going to work with this subject??

Absolutely I’m going to score an A for Critical Literacy Insha’Allah, amen.
