ART

It is not something extremely to say that everything in the world is an art. Something beautiful or attractively are arts, even somethings that weirdly or horribly are an arts. World is an arts, world is beautiful and attractive when something good comes to us but it is very bad and even horrible when we get into a complicated situation or easy to say as problem, that causes stress. All of that are part of arts.

As you know, transformation of style of life is cause by arts, which is an important element in development of civilization. Arts could be a trademark to show how great the civilization is. It is doesn't matter when the civilized is formed, the parts or nowadays.

How an architecture art could build a civilization, Let us deep into the secret of architecture art of pyramid, which is built long time ago, 2690 BC somethings, compare to Taipei 101, which is the highest building the world, both is shows a great sign of the development in architecture.
Pyramid, located in Egypt and the most popular history scene for foreigners and visitors from around the world, where as Taipei 101 is located in Taipei, Taiwan, a modern building.

Pyramid is unique, the first builder of pyramid is Djoser, as an architecture for Pharaohs at that time. It is shows the art of architecture is develop since long before, the King or Pharaohs use their thousands of slaves to build the Pyramid, which built up with rocks and stones. A pyramid takes a long period of time to complete it. Imagine, there is no sophisticated machines, no transport. While as, the Taipei 101 is build by an architect name Cy.Lee, by the cost to build the highest building is around "600,000,000. Why it is called Taipei 101? The Taipei as symbol of the place, Taipei and the '101' is refer to its level, what is the important here is how they build it up, with modern technology, and sophisticated tools of architecture.

Nowadays, the building is something could be proud with every country around the world compete to build the highest skyscraper, the bigger building and so on. As a result, they compete in their modern technology in architecture. It is somethings different from historical or traditional arts, they stress on deli cation of arts. It is something natural and real. That is!

(ART IS LIFE!)



MEDIA


In modernization or changes could be showed or presented by so many ways, one of them is media factor. Let us study about it. Develop or successful country in the world. They created new product, specially in computerizing technology, they promotes it to the world. As a result, the world get a new creation, in the other hand, the pioneer country be a famous to the world.

This situation is effect the world's development, not out list, our country, Malaysia. In media development, what is the different between 10 years before and nowadays? It could be not too effected in urban society, but in rural area, for example village, today could be see people could online the internet, totally different from 10 years ago, there is no such thing and the villagers are lacks in computerizing.

Then, media itself,the development can be recognized by the users could online the television broadcast in the internet, the users are also read everyday newspaper in the internet online, it is hard to do such thing in 10 years before.

Moreover, television as a main media nowadays plays an important part to the world. Today, you could know the current issues faster and quickly, although any news from Europe countries or from four corners of the world.

That is the advantages of development of charges in media today compare to 10 years ago.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLE



Ancient people or a popular word is indigenous people, it is use for the people
who is live in ancient and traditional ways in their life. They are not influence by modernization. But the certain part of place where the people live are influence by modernization. This cause by several factors, one of them is government policy, to develop the country.

The word Aboriginal has been in use in ENGLISH since at least the 17th century to mean "first or earliest known, indigenous," (Latin Aborigines, from ab: from, and origo: origin, beginning), Strictly speaking, "Aborigine" is the noun and "Aboriginal" the adjectival from; however the latter is often also employed to stand as a noun.

In the Australia, the indigenous people who are called indigenous Australians, t
hey are original inhabitants of the Australian continent and nearby islands, they are
people's descendants. Moreover, they are distinguished as either Aboriginal people or Torres strait islanders, who currently together make up about 2.6% of Australian's population.

The indigenous people could be refer as a group of people, whose are has their unique culture, they practise agriculture traditionally, they hunter for food.

Youth is a process to build someone, in double meaning is to know who they are in this world. They think, they are not be someone if abide by any rules, that is created by someone or any group of people. Example, parent.


In generally view, youth is a group which is want to be free from any type of rule. That is youth. Because of that, they do able to do everything to gain the free. They think they are dare to do everything they want. In the other hand, they use to be a "boss" to enyone arround them. They will ask anyone arround them to follow up what they need. Tha result, sometime, might get hand hurt. Moreover, we hear about vandalism among the teenager.

COMMUNICATION


Everyday of life we use it, that is communication or we can say as conversation.


We use to communicate will make anyone arround you are comfortable to talk with you. That is important to know how to communicate or talk in right way.


First, indicate the situation when you start to talk, you have to know how formal the conversation it is. You have to know who is you talk to. May you talk with your boss in place you work, prefer you to talk properly or even formally especially in meeting, do not play around when you do the conversation or talk. In other situation, you are talk with you old friends, generally, we do not use a formal talk with them.


Then you are in a conversation, let say, you talk with your friend, sit properly opposite with her or him. Start your talk with suitable voice, if you prefer to ask them, give a time to them to talk and give their opinion. Do not stop their talk with your next story.


Moreover, add the conversation with humour element, it makes your talk more interesting, but have to remember, do not comfort with you, take care of their feeling. That is the best way.


In addition, choose night or suitable time to do talk with your friend. Do not force them to talk with you when they need to be alone on they are in busy. Avoid to do that or you will lose your friend.


Finnaly, communicate properly you will show your credibility.
