Animal Farm

Last time, in Sir Mark let us watch this movie that is titled Animal farm. This movie is merely about the animals and the farmers also have some political issue. There was this farm, that usually being take care by the farmers. This is very pity to the animals because the farmers did not take care of the animal and treat them real bad. The animal need to be feed but, no one would feed them.
In the story, the pigs is the leader of all the animal in the farm. So in my opinion, the writer of the stories is related the pigs to the leader in this world. The way the story being told has many ironies. This is kind of exciting. For me, this story is very deep and hard to explain as if, it would lead to sensitive issue. I did not good in politics, and did not even care about it. So I don’t know how to get to that kind of point. I was Interested in the movie, the pigs put a new rules and change it that is “all animals are equal, but some animal are equal than others”. I really can’t take that statement, like who do they think they are? It is so pathetic and so not professional.
From my point of perspective, I think this movie, has many educate values. I’m not referring to the pigs only but also to the other animals as well. That is, we can’t trust other person to just take control as a leader. In choosing a leader, must know their real backgrounds and not just took it as a yes. As for the pigs which the leader, they should do their work too, and not just treat their citizens like slaves. Even though they are the leader doesn’t mean that they can do whatever they want to do. As a good leader, not only knows how to take care the country, but also listens to their civilian’s needs. The leader should also have to play fair and take care each of their citizens, because it is their jobs. If the leader likes to play dirty, they may survive but not for long, because without the citizens, they are nothing. So, they can’t let themselves trapped in that kind of situation.
As for conclusion, the leader and the civilians need each other. So, the leader should know how to do their job. This story shows everything, that is, even the pigs rule everything, but without any followers, the farm is turn into a disaster. It doesn’t even look like a farm at all, and many animals die in that farm especially the pigs.

Conditional Love and Unconditional Love

There are two types of parent’s love towards their children. Every parent must love their children, but their style of loving their children is different. Whether they using the conditional love or unconditional love. The way of they showed their love is what can differentiate on how the parents educate their children.
For me, I think my parents are using the conditional love. They love me in their own way. They sometimes let me do my decision, but most of the time they choose my path. I am not so sure whether that kind of situation puts them in conditional love group. I say that because, I think, my parents do not want me to be in the wrong path, and only their way is the best. Sometimes I feel like, I need to explore more about myself, but, because of them, I just have to skip my dream which is to travel around the world by myself. That have been my dreams, since I was in secondary school, but I know I won’t able to have the chance.
Next, my parents also did some punishment for me if I do any mistake. Like for instance, when I was in my high school years, I got busted of skipping the class and run away from school. I went to the cyber-cafe with my friends, and I get caught because of that. My parents put me into quarantine period and even told me to quit school. I was so afraid and I persuade my parents to give me a chances. At last they give me one last chances, and I never want to do the same mistake again, well, at least not get busted again.
In my point of view, this kind of way is the right way to do in educate the children nowadays. If using the unconditional love, it won’t make the children learns their mistakes. If says, I had my own children, I would do the conditional love style. I will try to find the things that my children wants, but with condition like for example have good result, best behavior then I will granted their wish, and if they do any mistake, I will do the suitable punishment. There will be a bit of slap on the face but I will make it as what they deserve.
