Critical Literacy

Critical Literacy makes me think deeply about something. Based on what i have learned in CL, i learned about the left brain hemisphere and right brain hemisphere. The left brain hemisphere is about thinking logically and the right brain hemisphere is personal thinking.

The first task that were given to me is, i have to do some research about 4 topics. The land diving (Naghol), bride kidnapping (Ala Kachu), hijra (South Asia), and male plastic surgery.

LAND DIVING (NAGHOL)

  

Land Diving (Naghol) is a ritual perform by the Vanuatu people. They will jump from a wooden tower about 25m tall with two tree vines wrapped around the ankles. This ritual is insane. The chances to die is high if a person perform this ritual. However it is considered harmful for their tribe, the Vanuatu. They believe that jumping from the tower can cure their illness. 

BRIDE KIDNAPPING (Ala Kachu)

Ala Kachu or well known as bride kidnapping is still practiced in Kyrgyzstan. It is a cruel tradition where the  bride was abducted. Each person in this world has their rights. There is no need for this silly tradition. To me this tradition should has an end. However this tradition gives bad name to love. the women never have time to know their own husband and how come can a woman fell in love with the guy that abduct her.

HIJRA (South Asia)

We must be thankful to god because created us and stand a chance to live in this world. We must learn to accept ourselves of who we are. Changing our gender is completely nonsense. These kind of people were accepted in India but, not in certain country in this world. However in India it is totally opposite. These kind of people are treated nicely and considered sacred.

MALE PLASTIC SURGERY

Male plastic surgery is a great idea. For some male, plastic surgery is the only option for them to look good and feel better about themselves. Therefore they have the rights to change their appearance. However, they should reconsider doing the surgery because it may give a side effect. Perhaps, male today should learned how to be graceful and accept who they are.
