A tree is a tree, no matter how you look at it!
However one man's terrorist, is another man's freedom fighter!
I apologise if by any means I've given this idea that Social Studies is a simplified discipline - the problem when dealing with a Humanities subject is that, things can never be simplified as we'd love them to be (",)
Especially with Social Studies, where one endeavour to deal and make meaning with differing perspectives and multiple viewpoints. Not withstanding the biases that may be trapped between the sources - at times, it is not enough to open up your eyes to read the sources, but you've got to even read between the lines to decipher the tone and purpose... oh no!!!
Well, I'm sure at this juncture, most of you may be feeling rather low and/or perhaps cheated by what you've heard in class earlier today... muahahaha... Well, fret not, I was just pulling your leg ----> forgive me for my lameness, it's already twenty minutes past midnight and I'm still up preparing materials for my Sec 4NA who are probably asleep by now :)
Well anyhow, once again, a huge welcome to you newcomers! This blog has officially died out as my Sec 4s are busy preparing for their 'N' Levels; hence having my 3 new classes in is indeed a comforting note to remind me of the usefulness of this blog, heh!
You may save this web address under your 'favourites' so that if you have the time, you can check it out for regular updates! Be prepared though for it to go on a hiatus once in a while especially when I'm running the bullet train, usually during the peak period such as the Common test and exams period. But even when there are no blog updates, the 'voices of society' & news engine portals at the side bars offers interesting read :)
Finally, the tagboard is for your use - to ask and reply queries, to motivate and cheer your peers especially nearing the exams. Only caution - please use it with your utmost discretion; be tactful in your comments and do not abuse this priviledge that we share!
And with that Sec 3s - lets buckle up and join me as we attempt to reconstruct a new shared memory! Gute nacht!
Your navigator,
Mr Syed
