Topic for Discussion

We had our initial discussion for the topic of our project paper. We have tentatively agreed to the topic and here I present to all member of the group for your comments and further discussion before we go to the next step.

Introduction:

The purpose of this paper is to discuss ways on how to encourage Malay youths to be active in social work.

Research Objectives:

a. To find out why there is less involvement of Malay youth in social work such as Red Crescent society, Pemadam, Natural Disaster Relief organization such as Mercy Relief, Consumer Association, etc.

b. To find ways to encourage the Malay Youths to get involve in doing social work in their free time instead of involving themselves with undesirable activities such as mat rempit, loitering ('lepak'ing), gangsterism and drug abuse.

Research Questions:

1. Why do Malay youths like or prone to involve themselves in undesirable activities.

2. Why are their involvements in these activities are very high in term of percentage as compared to other ethnic groups in the country.

3. Why are these youths not interested in doing social or community work during their leisure time.

4. Why the government or the school education system fail to encourage our youth to get involved in social work.

These are the four questions that we have discussed. Probably other members may have some other ideas how to improve further. Lets all of us hear your comments and suggestions.

Selamat berpuasa.

  1. Salam to all the "study hard and study smart" bloggers. Congratulations for succeeding in creating the group blog. I'm indeed impressed with it as the entries are very explicit and comprehensive. However, it lacks interaction among the group members. Eventhough I know that the entries are based on collective effort, it should receive feedback from the rest of the group members.I would like all the group members to introduce themselves and actively giving feedback/constructive comments to all the entries.

    There are a few things which I would like to highlight:
    1. I notice that the topic of the integrated project was not mentioned.
    2. The number of objectives must tally with the research questions. If they are there are two research objectives, then there must be 4 research questions as well.
    3. Please make the necessary changes based on my observation to improve the blog and the execution of the integrated project.
    Keep up the good work. From Puan Rozmel

  2. Dear Gentlemen,
    I would like to correct myself regarding item no " 2. The number of objectives must tally with the research questions. If they are there are two research objectives, then there must be 4 research questions as well"

    What I wanted to say was actually "The number of objectives must tally with the research questions. If they are there are two research objectives, then there must be 2 research questions as well"

    I observed that there are 2 research objectives mentioned but they are 4 research questions presented.Please reconstruct your research objectives so that they reflect your research questions or vice versa. Since there are 5 group member, then there should be 5 research objectives and 5 research questions.

    Happy communicating in cyberspace. From Puan Rozmel

  4. Salam to all,
    I went into the group's blog this morning and I tried to post my comments twice but they failed to be posted. I notice in the blog that the entries were based on group's entries as all the 5 names appear under all the entries; however only haji Abdul Aziz's name appear in all the labels. I would like to remind all of you that the purpose of having the blog is it serves as an avenue for every group member to participate and interact actively in completing the integrated project.All discussions should be done in the blog as we know it is quite difficult for everyone to meet physically in a place at a common time. it is not the group interacting with me.

    It has been almost a week now after our first meeting and as to date only group entries were uploaded and even when Tuan Haji asked for feedback from the rest of the blooggers, there was none! For a start you can introduce yourself to each other and suggest a topic which is of your personal interest. This is to show that disccussion was carried out in the blog before all the group members come to common agreement as to which topic was chosen and agreed upon by all the group members.

    I understand that some of you might find the langauge as a barrier and you fear in making mistakes.But my main concern is if you are not willing to attempt to use the language. Please try your best and not to worry about the language. At the end of the semester, marks will be awarded individually and marks will be awarded in relation to how often and active a students participates in his group's blog and the blogs of other group's. Hope to see all 5 of you in the group's blog.

  15. Salam Aidilfitri wishes to all especially for lecturer Dr.Rozmel and to all ‘study hard study smart’ bloggers. Firstly, I would like to apologize to everyone for not participating in the blogs activities as I was away to my hometown for aidilfitri celebration. The internet connection was not that stable there but I managed to finish the assignment given to siswasp group.

    Dear all, I have read Dr Rozmel’s comments on the topic and personally, I’m very thankful for he gave a quick response even at that time we were struggling in preparing and learning to interact through this blog.

    I second his opinion that the topic that we discussed on earlier which is ‘How to Encourage Malay Youth to be Active in Social Work’ is not complete. This is because we only had 2 research objectives when research questions should have 4 items. The total of research objectives should tally with research questions. The rational is, since there are five of us then we should have the same numbers for research objectives and research questions. Therefore, I second the idea that each one of us should be responsible for a research objective and question each.


    Friends, the title ‘How to Encourage Malay Youth to be Active in Social Work’ is suitable and important to be discussed. This is because from my observation especially lately, Malay youngsters involved in negative and unhealthy activities such as skipping school, ‘mat rempit’, ‘bohjan dan bohsia’, drug addictions, alcoholics, and free sex and such. If we observe closely, most of the committers of these activities are Malays compared to other ethnic. It is sad to have these things happens even when we have lots of programs provided by the government such as Rakan Muda and such. These people should really be prepared as they are the strength and assets to be the leaders of the future.

    To me, one of the main factors of this negativity is a family that is disharmony. Parents should control their children and give them the best education, academically and in terms of religion beliefs and practice. Most of the parents nowadays are either too busy or they just thought that their kids know how to take care of themselves. They purely ignore and blame the teachers or the governments when something bad happened to their child. One of the reasons includes poverty as the main contributor resulting the Malay youngsters to lose interest in life and to break away from the problems they got involved with unhealthy activities.


    Therefore, I propose that for this topic discussion we put additional research objectives and questions as follows:


    RESEARCH OBJECTIVE

    i. To identify the contents in each programs in the social work that made the youngsters lost interest in joining them.

    ii. To identify if it’s true that teenagers/youngsters love to have fun without thinking of their tributes to the nation.


    iii. To find out if the reason that Malay youth have less interest in social works because of the benefits that they are offered are not up to their standard.



    RESEARCH QUESTION

    i. Why is the opposition parties cannot put aside their political differences and combine with the governments in ensuring and encourage these youngsters to be active in social work. For example they can hold a campaign or find other method that is suitable for the improvement of our beloved country.
    Thanks
