Education & International Friendship part 5

Okay! The last part of my "Education & International Friendship" posts and after this gonna continue my own blogging stuff. So last part... It has been a question in my head for quite a long time. If some of you thought of it as well, then alright! I'll share my opinions to you~

"What does international friendship does to open education to women."

^-^ Well, this is what I have in mind; let's take a look at Greek scholars. Most of them are men but there are women as well. However, they are not widely recognize. For example: Hypatia, a Greek philosopher that studied in Alexandria (it's in Egypt) Wikipedia says -not me- that she is the first well-documented woman in Mathematics.

Her greatness is not the importance of this note. Take note that she's Greek yet studies in a foreign land. And I believe the bridge for her to study in a foreign place is because of the acceptance of both countries and their understanding of each other.

So basically, this is because most countries before don't allow women to join schools and study -like what was said in part 3. That's why some women immigrated to another country for the sake of education.

"Education is freedom and power." -quoted from Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade (I read this kind of stuff XD)

Which is true. Education can lead us "to the truth that sets us free", eventually.

So another thing is the influence of other countries. For example: When country A hears about another country B getting more successful when education was open for women, country A will surely establish it as well, then spreads the system all over the world like a flu. Well, not really like a flu. 0.0 But you get the meaning anyway.

So yeah, I may explain it weirdly -this is because I'm just bad at explaining about things like this. (Honestly, my English Language is barely a pass XD but hey, grades can't tell who I am. So no biggie. Just try to understand at least what I am trying to say ^^")

Education & International Friendship Part 4

The Education Is Unlimited by Rachel Ow Yong Zi Wei

Now in the 21st century, education is worldwide. There is no any difference between men and women. There are also different types of education, example, children and youth still attending school, like for religion and academic. As we know, education are not only about academics but also skills and morals. Education is the main reason why we are a better living society. .

In the past, women did not receive any education at all. They were not allowed to come out were just imprisoned in their own homes and domestic works were their only education. Now in the present, women equal to men. They help each other in every sphere. So, education should be unlimited to both genders. However, some men still discriminates women and known them as worthless or low-valued. Sexism is anywhere; be it at work, school, neighborhoods or even in public places. Some see women as an object and once they were done with, they'll just abandon her. Most men think that women only exist to take care of the family, handle the household chores an cook. They think only that the life of a woman is all about getting married, having children, and being bombarded with unimportant details of domesticity. But what some people cannot comprehend is that education is limitless. Education is not just academic means like in our school. But skills and morals that we all need to learn such as houseworks and how to handle situations. Imagine this: What if women were uneducated, what would the children are to become?

"In day to day life, the real problems are faced first by women and then the same problems are conveyed to men for solution. If the women are educated, they can solve all the problems of their houses. It is said that when ever any men get education it is only useful for him but when ever any women get education it is useful for whole family. An educated woman gives an educated family and an educated family can makes society better. We can not imagine a god society without the education of women. If a woman will not get education how will she manage whole family?"

As that being said, education is important to women. Now, it opens doors to not only for men, women around the world gets educated too. Even though we know that minority will still think that education is unimportant for women, but in this society, without education, we may not be able to earn a living. But most family expenses cannot be paid by a single salary.

'Only With the help of education women can know their rights . Women belong to a weaker section of the society because she suffers from many handicaps due to rigid, outdated social customs and religious practices. But an educated woman cannot be exploited easily. She is aware of her rights and will go any length to defend them. Women are humans too, they have their own dignity and pride.

Education & International Friendship Part 3





So this is very recent. This is my class outing video. It just shows what did we do during our time at the Botanical Gardens. And that's my teacher over there *points above* My class compromise of mostly Chinese. But there are a few Indians, Malays and Pilipinos (Me and 2 more people) When I was resting in the shade I was happy -at least- that I see a class united and enjoying each other's presence. It was so unlike last year. There were a lot of in fightings because of differences and competitiveness of each  individual. 


Maybe they have set aside the differences and FINALLY realized that it doesn't make anything better? It was our 3rd year anyway. And we won't get to hang out with each other because of studies and other responsibilities. Okay, enjoy the video~ (if you haven't watched it yet o,o)

Education & International Friendship Part 2

Our last year's GG camp. This is the part where we set for a campfire, give gifts and basically, do activities together. I didn't really get to go to last year's camp but I did go to a sisterhood camp where the Netball club, Malay Dance club and us, GG, were together in one camp. Since we were all women, I kinda felt more comfortable with the camp and it was way easier for me to talk to them. I'm not much of a speaker or a good person to have conversation with but everytime I talk to other girls (we're all in different races) I get to learn more about other's religion, culture or even the way they behave or what's acceptable or what's not. That's a benefit for me, really. At least I could have less haters at school XD But seriously, I made a few good friends and a lot of nice acquaintances from that camp and it made an impact on my life. For example; looking at the world differently.

Education & International Friendship Part 1


2014 Ladies in the House~ My comeback will be featuring my strong bonds in Girl Guides (basically a club/organization I am in) Well, this is one of the best things that I really liked about my school. Other than individual competitions and other contests. Since it's multi-racial here, I get to really know many people from different races. And below is one of my great friends named Rachel. She's a "weirdo" in her perspective - But hey! Her creativity level and imagination is really high. Which I may need because I'm too much of a realist and a melancholic person (I'm sooooo honest.)
P.S.
I'm not sure where to look at XD-->



Then here we are planning about our CCA display~! Which is next week on the 9th >.< I'm excited to get more girls to join us in this sisterhood! We're actually brainstorming a rap here (Rachel: Yoyoyoyo) She's currently beside me now *insert hysterical laugh here* As some people would notice, Asians are getting "westernized ", trend by trend, and fashion by fashion. No more traditional they say.
