Portfolio blog

In this writing I will talk about the third and the fourth portfolio that have given to us to analyze by using the ten element concept in a critical literacy view. We have to complete this two portfolio during our mid term breaks. Miss Syida has given a briefing about both of this portfolio. It will complete the four portfolios that we should do for our first assessment. So by some training from doing portfolio one and two, we have to do our best for both of three and four portfolio.In here I will explain my understanding and my point of view toward both articles.
For the first article which is a third portfolio is talk about the political issue that happen in US and Arabian. We usually know that the relationship of both sides is not really good because of the different way of perception and view toward something. So from that, we usually hear about the fighting in both sides. It’s like that US government always use their strength and power in being bad to the Arabian country. The title article for the third portfolio is ‘The Moment’ 12/08/08: Guantanamo Bay. We know that Guantanamo is a place were US send an Arabian criminal and torture them in physical and mentality in order to show their power. A evidences unfair and discrimination punishment that the US army give to the Arabian or Islamic criminal have spread all over the eye world by nothing can be done because they know that US is one of the most powerful and stronger country in the world.
The article talk about the judgment issue for a 9/11 suspect at Guantanamo. 9/11 is a most tragedy moment or incidents that happens to US when there been an attack in Pentagon tower and have makes a lot of people lose their family members, and for the responsibility of the tragedy, the US government have pointed to Arabian people. The mission to find who the people behind the tragedy are has been finding hardly by US and they find it. The 9/11 mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four of his co-defendants abruptly offered to confess to coordinating the attack- in effect pleading guilty to the murder of 3,000 people. He has asked to not wasting a time to judge them and just give them the punishment and their target is martyrdom by execution. For them is like a victory and also or US president, Bush. They also like get a victory because of what they do all this time is looks great and right by the dead of the terrorist. They feel they won. But different with an Obama view, it will do it more complicated in order to make good on his promise to close Gitmo. He wants Mohammed face the trial in more conventional US courts. Many research say that they place should be close in order to stop the unfair punishment and stop the war fighting between the two countries. Just ended the cases and stop the entire humiliating thing. In here we can see how the power that use by US can lead to the something to become more complicated, unfair and bad. It’s also show how the egoism in a strong country in giving their serving into the weak country. They just thought that they are the best, and power is everything.
For the second portfolio, which is the fourth portfolio, the article title is, ‘The UN proves – once again – its toothless nature’. It talk about how bad and weak UN management in handling a global issues and challenges. It about handling a war issues in Palestine that have been conquered by Israel and have kill many people in there by their attack. Behind all the issues that happen in there, UN cannot handle the problem even tough they actually can. It is because they are trying to denied the truth and afraid to discover about who is the rights and who is wrong. They already know the answer but them afraid to bring up the answer. It is also about how strong the power and the influences of that regime in order to cover up all their action by using the influence from UN. UN also likes afraid to against the Israel and like being under the thumb of Israel and follow all instruction. When the UN have made the resolution action, Palestine did not being influence by that promise because they know that the UN just pretending the action to show that they concern for what happen in Palestine but will not do anything if the Israel didn’t follow the resolution action. So where is the power of the mind map for a peace agent in here? From that we can see that UN also being weak when it comes to Israel. UN just pretending to show their behave action in order to show that they still concern about the problem. The Zionist and the Israel regime had brought all the problem and nothing can stop the attack from them. So it’s up to us to judge the function of UN that supposedly to become a roadmap for a peaceful condition and help to handling the global issue but know everything can be happen and we should not easy to trust everyone. The people who supposedly do their job in order to bring a peace must do something and not just by saying and campaign something but him didn’t do anything. This article is written to the newspaper and the paper publishes it in order to aware and warned public for what had happen. We should know about it.
I think both article is very good and relate a little bit with each other. They talk about the political issue in the world nowadays. We should know that power can ruin everything. It’s very interesting article and most part that article have teach and educate me about the real thing outside there that we cannot trust anyone easily and power can do everything.
