GENETIC ENGINEERING

Genetic engineering involves research and genetic modification of humans, animals and plants. There have been many successes achieved by researchers abroad in this aspect so that there is extensive coverage of international media. However, each technology must be good and bad effects.

The possibility of the positive aspects of genetic engineering are the couple who had no children. Now, there are technologies and methods that enable such couples who have children with easy and secure. The presence of children in a family is certainly capable of providing more cheerful atmosphere envisioned by humans.

In fact, this technology can also make a preliminary investigation to determine that the child would be born that does not have any particular defect. Such action makes genetic determinism is certainly capable of providing a relief to the parents of children who will receive it in their lives.

The most interesting impacts brought by this technology is the livestock industry will be able to be extended. Definitely more high-quality livestock breeds can be produced easily and quickly. The results of such animals give humans an important source of protein to ensure keseinambungan human life. Farmers will not experience any problems critical to generate good results.

However, genetic engineering has also brought negative impacts which should be emphasized by the public. There will be certain groups that will use this technology to do things that are contrary to the teachings of religion and law. Human cloning for any action that would cause hardship to the negative elements of society. Imagine that criminals can easily change and complicate the police prevent them from committing crimes repeatedly.

In conclusion, genetic technology is good for humans only that we should be aware of the limitations that exist. Any attempt to use this technology to bring the problem to human life should be outlawed by the government. Proposed technology to facilitate human life rather than a negative impact.

Early childhood education shape children personality

Temperament consists of the individual differences in emotion, motor activation and attentional reaction to stimuli. Temperament shapes children’s outcomes and influences the way they interact with their environment and how adults and children respond to them.

All children are born with a unique personality and temperament. Their temperament affects how they behave and react to situations. However with the right approach, parents can mitigate some of the challenging aspects of their children’s temperaments.  

• For children who are anxious, fearful or withdrawn in new situations, parents can avoid being over-protective and gently encourage them to explore new situations.
• For children who are fearless and take too many risks, parents can be warm and loving, set firm boundaries and consistent schedules. 
• For children who are impulsive, parents can praise good behaviour (when children control their impulses) and be gentle with discipline. 

Overall, children tend to have better temperaments when parents show lots of support and affection, set limits, use positive discipline, and respond consistently to their needs.

Bilingual Education

Bilingual Education

Bilingual education is a form of education in which information is presented to the students in two (or more) languages. Technically, any educational system that utilizes more than one language is bilingual. This means that many, if not most, school programs are bilingual, in at least a literal sense of the word. What differentiates various programs that are toted as ‘bilingual’ is the degree to which multiple languages are used.

Opponents of bilingual education in Malaysia will argue that it is costly and wasteful to educate in any language other than the language of Malays, as melayu serves as a lingua franca Malaysian society. Although Malaysia has not recognized the official national language, some organizations and groups of individuals believe that the presence and use of language 'alien' is a direct threat to the traditional role and honorably Malay language.

Supporters of bilingual education, however, thought otherwise. If non-English speaking students receiving education in both their native language and the Malay language, they will learn the Malay language in a more organic and effective, improving both their skills in languages ​​other than English. Children who are exposed to a variety of language in an academic environment would not be ashamed to use their native language and in turn will become the framework of a more open mind to learn and master the Malay language.

Our group is to support bilingual education because we believe that, in an increasingly interconnected global society we, it is important to be able to communicate with each other. Most other countries in the world to have people of different languages, and we want to see Malaysians counted among them. 'Threat' views Malay criticized by opponents for bilingual education is nothing more than a change in the natural language; teach students to our country in more than one language will not sacrifice the Malay language fluency, but rather will provide the youth of our country with the tools they need to become successful members of our global society.
