Euphemistic (adj.) - substituting a harsh or distasteful term with a milder and more polite term

Dysphemistic (adj.) - using a harsh or distasteful term instead of a polite one

this is one of the latest Mr. Kamar lecturing on euphamistic language. belive it or not, most of us had used before consciously or unconsciously, and believe me it seems simple but to make it right is not that simple. sometime i think leaning cl is like putting one puzzles into another. it means is

A mild or indirect word or expression for one too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing.

as mention above, it's plato myth of the cave. this is the second last thing we learn last week. in it there were six object that symbolizes thing:

1. the prisoner 
2. the chain 
3. the fire 
4. the shadow and the images 
5. the puppet player 
6. the old man 

The prisoners are described as being bound in a dark cave, facing into a wall. They can only see the shadows of their guards as they come and go behind them. It is as if the shadows are the reality, real people who can talk and move.

Plato also uses the light (the Sun outside, brighter than the cave lights) as a metaphor for intellectual illumination, which could only with difficulty be explained to those who had not experienced it firsthand.

The old man in this is the one who set free of the prisoner from a mere oblivion set by their dream.  Plato compares this very limited view of the world with the ordinary physical perceptions of mankind. Plato believes that true reality is much more than what we perceive, and that a philosopher's role is to investigate this higher meaning for the enlightenment of all. To that end, he postulated that all earthly things were simply representations (like the shadows) of some higher form or concept, much as all wooden tables in the world mirror the same basic function that is "a table. 


In conclusion, the interior of the cave is the imprisonment of people by their bodies and by themselves. People must look into the light to gain knowledge, which are what Plato and his mentor Socrates held most important. The sun is their way of gaining this knowledge as it allows people to see the truth as long as the practice reason or thinking along with it. It also makes visible the distinction between what is good and what is false.

last time in the class i was thinking on what was it? toga? is it umrah or the one that people wearing when go to haji? then i know it is actually the one that the Romanian usually wear that always slide around their body. well in fact, toga is a distinctive garment of Ancient Rome, was a cloth of perhaps 20 ft (6 m) in length which was wrapped around the body and was generally worn over atunic. The toga was made of wool,and the tunic under it often was made of linen. After the 2nd century BC, the toga was a garment worn exclusively by men, and only Roman citizens were allowed to wear the toga.


how exactly to wear a toga? try this.....
A toga is made by holding a piece of cloth under the right arm, half behind, half in front. The back part is folded over the left shoulder, and the front part is then folded over the left shoulder too.

for me that is cool enough to be experiencing on what are the feeling to one of them as state above only roman citizen were allowed to wear the toga. That day i could say is a very wonderful and colorful when all of our classmates having different color of toga. for me i wear a yellow colored toga which resembles a priest, together with me is awang ezam, so on that day we are the priest combo. i am sorry for my other classmates that i just forget most of what they wear that day but still that  was awesome experience with you guys not to mention the master mind Mr. Kamar. Thank you sir......  

last Thursday is my final class with Mr. Kamar which i think there is when i when to my fullest capabilities in talking. that day was seriously fun as some of my friend have to go in frond and present on the rants that specifically written in the slide, well we could choose it. the last best record was set by another class which is wafi and his group and the time almost 3 minutes. as for my class, haikal is the first one who set the bench(time) for our class. then there goes seri talking about bieber fever for about 4 minutes. seri could talk actually like forever on that topic but she just stop at that time considering we had the other class beaten. after that it's my turn to talk on cafe, sometimes when i think back on what i did said, it was gross.

though it look like what we were doing is a little fun games, it is actually a rants were as Mr. kamar said, rather used a direct and stress way of expressing our emotion why don''t we try on a new way which is rants. then there goes our day of using it.

Jeff Goodell who was born and raised in Silicon Valley is an American author, an editor at Russian literary journal and a technical writer at Apple. He graduated from University of California in English and has MFA in Fiction Writing from Columbia University. then he wrote and article that is steve job nobody knew, which is after steve gone. jeff goodell also is an investigator journalist and also a Steve Jobs worker. In this article Goodell reveal the man behind a mask name Steve Jobs.


a little facts on steve jobs is that Steven Paul Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, to Joanne Simpson and Abdulfattah "John" Jandali, two University of Wisconsin graduate students who gave their unnamed son up for adoption. His father, Abdulfattah Jandali, was a Syrian political science professor and his mother, Joanne Simpson, worked as a speech therapist. After he did enroll in high school, Jobs spent his free time at Hewlett-Packard. It was there that he befriended computer club guru Steve Wozniak. Wozniak was a brilliant computer engineer, and the two developed great respect for one another.

After high school, Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Lacking direction, he dropped out of college after six months and spent the next 18 months dropping in on creative classes. Jobs later recounted how one course in calligraphy developed his love of typography.

then after ho got his hand on the company apple, his behavior started to change as many of his comrade did not recognizes him at the end. for example steve wozniak, an easy understanding of this matter could be archieve if we watched on the pirate of the silicon valley.

another  one on the smuttttt........

Usual thing that happened when some women found out about their partner watched porn they might sulking for about two to three days, which conclude that, watching porn does have effect on their emotion. Some of the boyfriend also messed up their relation by urging in asking for sex from their partner.

 Therefore, one most common concern about pornography is that it indirectly hurts women by encouraging sexism, raising sexual expectations and thereby harming relationships and might. Some people worry that it might even incite violence against women. The data, however, do not support these claims. “There’s absolutely no evidence that pornography does anything negative,” says Milton Diamond, director of the Pacific Center for Sex and Society at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. “It’s a moral issue, not a factual issue.”

To indicate that porn does not harm relationships, Moyer looks at studies that take the porn users’ side of the equation (their reports of sexual satisfaction and intimacy), as if that is sufficient to indicate that relationships are not harmed by porn. She ignores other research that indicates wives and girlfriends report being deeply hurt by their boyfriends’ or husbands’ porn use.

I've recently come across some data they may shed some light on the subject of pornography, and its potential negative effects/outcomes which is also from some other writer. "Viewing images of sexually attractive women and men may lead people to devalue their own partners and relationships." (Kenrick & Gutierres, 1980; Kenrick et al.,1989) Furthermore, "viewing X-rated sex films similarly tends to diminish people's satisfaction with their own sexual partner." (Zillman, 1989) "Reading or watching erotica may create expectations that few men and women can fulfill." (Myers, 2010)

Sunny side of smut

I would say that this was an interesting topic where we were talking about pornography. In ‘sex in bits and bytes,’ by Hal Arkowiz and Scot O. Lilienfeld, they said that over intake or watching or consumption of pornography will lead to a problem in relationship. As for our knowledge that being transfer within our society, sex or smut or pornography is not a good buddy to befriend with. In advance, the thing that what has been told from our ancestor is that keep our selves away from it. Even in our religion did mention to us to beware on pornography and stay our distance on men and women.

Sunny side of smut was written by Melinda Wenner Moyer a freelance science and health writer based in Brooklyn, New York. Recently she has been writing for Scientific American, Nature Medicine, Slate, Bon Appetit, Glamour, Better Homes and Gardens, and O: The Oprah Magazine

 One would say that, this topic is nonsense. Are we saying here we are allowing others to promote themselves or becoming porn actor/actress? Or are we going to legalized pornography just in order to suppress other desire? For me that not like it. Just take a look on the other side that being written in the article itself, the existence of the porn video itself actually in other hand is helping hand toward the consumer to lower down their intention to do the actual thing. 

In the nutshell, for me, some information got its true and false vary on how the we the reader translate it, sometime it may be bad but it also has it bright side.
