Comment On The VIVA Presentation

For the viva presentation, All the candidates come out with good explanation and try to depend own self from the killer questions from the penalizes .

From my opinion, Syida is the best presenter for among girls that had successful delivered the content on his article that she had choose.

Moreover, Zaidi is the best presenter among boys in the DEC 4A that had good elaboration on his topic and he was attract the audience with his own style presentation.

totally, viva presentation had given me new experience to debate with someone,,,,

THANK TO MR MARK<<<<<<=)>>>>>>

Islamophobia

When the news of the plans to burn more than 200 copies of the Qu’ran reached international headlines, any sane person wondered if US society had gone crazy. The incendiary plan came weeks after international debates about the plans by a group to build an Islamic community centre in New York City. Conservatives in the United States distorted the true story and there were wild claims that there were plans for the building of a mosque at Ground Zero in New York. Ground Zero is the name of the site of the fall of the Twin Towers in New York City on September 11, 2001. It is my view that the decision to burn the holy book during the period of the commemoration of the events of September 11 was a calculated effort to maximise the propaganda effort to heighten the scourges of racism and islamophopbia in the United States and in those societies in western Europe allied to conservative forces in the USA. As a propaganda tool, this announced plan to burn the Qu’ran achieved its most important goal, that is, to promote the ideas of war and hatred. It was for this reason that the timing of the Qu’ran burning was to coincide with the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Racism and anti-Islamic propaganda had been refined to serve the purposes of the US military–industrial complex. The divisions in the military over whether they were in a war against Islam or in a war against terrorists had been accentuated by the belief of some sections of the military that the commander in chief was in fact a Muslim, and therefore not an authentic citizen of the USA. For two decades US rulers had used the threat of Islamic fundamentalism as a justification for keeping a high military, economic and political profile in the Middle East while supporting the extremists in Israel. The troops and private contractors from the US military machine who had been pumped up by the association of Islam and fascism (so called Islamofascism) had to hear a credible voice from the neo-conservative establishment. Pastor Terry Jones was given wide publicity and the conservative sources of news were now caught in the contradiction of promoting racism and hatred of Islam in a way that made US forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan vulnerable to popular outrages. The most challenging aspect of this new period of hate was the spinelessness of liberals. In a period of the most serious capitalist depression since 1930, the scenario planners for the capitalist class had decided that a division between white and black workers was to be supplemented by divisions between Christians and the followers of Islam.

Language Perspective and Ideology

For the language perspective and ideology it is all about what was we learnt in thematic words and phrases, elementary process, and also discourse analysis. In class, Mr Mark relates all of this with US President Barack Obama, and some famous US citizen that talk about the “Ground Zero”. For the perspective it is all about our opinion towards certain issues and Ideology is our understanding such our religion belief as an Islam.

Elementary Process

Elementary process is the process that take others person perspective as our opinion. To take others perspective we should have our own premises to support our perspective that it can relates with other person perspective. Moreover, if we can’t state own premises, we should take the person’s premises but change a little bit information based on our opinion and assumed that we have knowledge about it. Nowadays, elementary process is important because it will help someone to change their perspective or we can state our opinion based on our perspective.

Discourse Analysis

The method of discourse analysis is complex and cannot be properly understood without extensive reading. The aim of this analysis is to provide you with an outline of the approach so that if you haven't read much about it you can, among other things, decide whether you would like to learn more about the method or whether you would like to carry out an investigation using this approach. An example is provided further down the page to illustrate a popular kind of discourse analysis, whihc is known as thematic analysis. It includes some examples of transcription symbols.

Syllogism

In traditional logic, a syllogism is an inference in which one proposition (the conclusion) follows of necessity from two others (known aspremises). The definition is traditional, but is derived loosely from Aristotle's Prior Analytics, Book I, c. 1. The Greek "sullogismos" means "deduction".Syllogisms consist of three things: major, minor (the premises) and conclusio, which follows logically from the major and the minor. A major is a general principle. A minor is a specific statement. Logically, the conclusio follows from applying the major to the minor.For example, this is the classic "Barbara" syllogism, given by Aristotle:If all humans (B's) are mortal (A), (major)and all Greeks (C's) are humans (B's), (minor)then all Greeks (C's) are mortal (A). (conclusion)That is,Men die. (general principle)Socrates is a man. (specific statement)Socrates will die. (application of major to minor)A metaphor, in contrast, resembles a form of syllogism called affirming the consequent, which is a logical fallacy:Grass (B) dies (A).Men (C's) die (A).Men (C's) are grass (B).A Barbara syllogism involves grammar and logical types; it has a subject (e.g. Socrates) and a predicate (mortal). Affirming the Consequent, the basis of metaphor, is grammatically symmetrical: it equates two predicates. This form of syllogism is logically invalid.Syllogisms may also be invalid if they have four terms or the middle term is not distributed.Epagoge are weak syllogisms that rely on inductive reasoning.By the definition of conditional and biconditional the consequences of the principle of the syllogism may be stated in the following formulas:$(a\; \backslash Rightarrow\; b)\; \backslash wedge\; (b\; \backslash Rightarrow\; c)\; \backslash Rightarrow\; (a\; \backslash Rightarrow\; c)$ $$$(a\; \backslash Leftrightarrow\; b)\; \backslash wedge\; (b\; \backslash Leftrightarrow\; c)\; \backslash Rightarrow\; (a\; \backslash Leftrightarrow\; c)$ $$The conclusion is a biconditional only when all premises are biconditionals. This statement is of great practical value. In a succession of deductions we must pay close attention to see if the transition from one proposition to the other takes place by means of a biconditional or only of a conditional. There is no equivalence between two extreme propositions unless all intermediate deductions are equivalences; in other words, if there is one single implication in the chain, the relation of the two extreme propositions is only that of implication.

THEMATIC WORDS AND PHRASES

Many definitions have been proposed for thematic analysis (Louwerse and van Peer, 2002). According to Popping (2000), thematic analysis can be described as the “identification of what, and how frequently, concepts occur in texts”. This definition, like many others, remains very general and fuzzy. Stone (1997) mentioned that the concept of theme “is used in a loose, general way for analysing patterns in text”. Stone’s point of view remains very general, but seems to allow some type of computational perspective on theme analysis. However, instead of describing theme analysis in terms of patterns analysis, the literature on this topic (here, we refer to studies in philosophy, literature, text analysis, etc.) shows that theme analysis lies more in the discovery and identification of the multiples relations between different themes that make a textual corpus consistent and intelligible. We will show how this definition can lead to some type of computer-assisted theme analysis.

In general terms, a classifier is an abstract machine or function that realizes some type of grouping or sorting on a set of objects. In a set theoretical definition, classification is the projection of a partition on objects so that they are as homogenous as possible. In categorical terms, a classifier can be defined as a quadruplet (O, X, I, G) where:

O is the set of objects (o₁…. o_n);

X is the set (x₁…. x_n) of features describing each object O;

I is the set of types (i₁…. i_n);

G is a discriminant function.

In this perspective, a classifier is conceived as a categorical operation defined in the following manner:

For each object O((G(x₁…. x_n) i)x_j).
