yesterday at 1800 hrs we had our company meeting the new person who handles our affairs from the company ain't half as bad as i thought he was, at the beginning. he answered all of the questions we threw at him and he made note of the questions he is unsure of. next i just need to see if the answers to that questions are going to really come on friday. i'd hate to find out that his just all talk and no action. those type of people really gets on my nerve.
All Talk No Actions Is Unappealing.
as usual my day when by without anything interesting going on in it. i saw one of the Caucasian crying whilst walking over my way. i avoided facing the person, simply because i think it was better for that person since i don't think that person would want me to see he/she while he/she was crying. weird for a society which takes pride in being independent and likes to project their strength to others, these Caucasian which are around me seemed at times; rather fragile. i reckoned that they'd be more tough, just me stereotyping people i guess i should stop this habit.
A Book Judged By It's Cover. A Mistake.
when i was in my sociology class a long time ago in UBD. my lecturer who was a German asked me if i liked globalization, his a critical person he likes to see what we the students think. and i knew that; with what we think he could try and understand our culture more. his an interesting character, any culture he studies he would "fall in love" with it. the culture i meant. when to Egypt for several years he fell in love with the culture; with that the religion, he embraced my religion knowing that it was a lot stricter than his own religion at that time, if ever he did had one. and he likes it. my respects to him.
i had never fell in love with any culture that i had seen, i was intrigued by them but never fell for them at least i think i didn't. complex. "Ethnocentric" is what they call people like me, one of my friends back then in the class strongly dislike the type of person i was. it didn't bother me back then it doesn't bother me now. she wanted me to be unaffected by my own culture. i find that impossible. lol.
"Ethnocentrism" is the tendency to look at the world primarily from the perspective of one's own culture.
one could say that u could not totally understand other culture by using your own culture to observe them.i beg to differ; tell me which one person in this world would dare to say that their very own culture does not in one bit effect their perspective of the world? of other culture?
could a person be totally "unchained" from the very culture that they were raised in to totally be unbiased in their judgement? their observation? i base my everyday decision on my perspective of the situation, by my perspective it is my way of thinking, the same way of thinking that was planted in me ever since i was small in accordance to my Malay culture. it is what i am now. it is what i am. it is my culture which is me. which represent me. my culture. my not so pure culture. my culture none the less.
haha. my "not so pure culture" a lovely way of putting it. i'd love to see how a Malay was several hundred years ago with their "close to pure Malay culture" without wearing this jeans, this watch, this spectacle, speaking this fake English accent, this cheap t-shirt
and typing here on this laptop.
how would i turn out to be without all this influences hanging over my current culture. the state that it is now, "Not So Pure".
people could and they would place judgement on my comments here. hehe. don't matter i am not that thick to not know that i might be wrong about this, to say that my culture is "Not So Pure".
i do accept the fact though that all this (changes to my culture) is inevitable, i myself is the prove to this every evolving culture of mine. sitting here typing writing a blog. a new addition to my current Malay culture. although i'd say that this is one of the "Global Culture" which is growing. as interested as i am to see the Malay several hundreds years ago i'd love to see the Malay several hundred years in the future. if there is going to be any Malays left. i pray what he said was true. Hang Tuah the Malaysian.
"Tak Kan Melayu Hilang Di Dunia."
did he meant to imply the Melayu (Malay) religion "Islam" or was it Melayu as in the Malay race. for me its Malay = Islam = Malay = Islam, makes no difference as to my understanding Malays are Muslims.
I'd Hate To See My Beautiful "Not So Pure" Culture Disappear.
However Ridiculous It's State Is In.
I Are Ethnocentric. U All Is ?
