Bandits and Outlaws

As we see in history there were many personalities that were known as outlaws i.e. Robin Hood, Jesse James and Pretty Boy. Even though these were called ‘Robbers, Outlaws, and even ordered to be killed. However, these weren’t all bad as many would sound. Robin Hood a legend for the poor, who would pronounce him as ‘noble robber’ he robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. This was not seen as morally wrong to do so. They were champions for the poor and political outlaws. Jesse James, another outlaw that inspires the Americans even today. He let his gang to rob the trains of America.

These were involved in morally wrong activities; however they had good reasons to do so. The law system hated them for their behaviour, where as the poor, or weak adored the. I guess that was how they actually got the way back from the richer, as many were not as kind to feed the poor neighbour. In another words these legendary outlaws probably existed for the best.

Typical Asian Girl….. Continued…

I know our religion (Islam) does not force the females into anything. Infact its gives the most freedom to us than any other! Obviously, the RIGHT way. However, as i have mentioned before, it’s the parents who use the culture and label it is 'religion' this happens with majority of Asian girls, not just Muslims but even Sikh and Hindu’s.

About the relationship issue, religious wise wrong… but our religon also teaches us the reason why it’s wrong to do so. However, looking at the culture here, not every youth practices them (why) Even though our religion teaches us to get married ASAP if we feel that we have seen/heard/found the right partner, BUT at this point parents come in with their caste issues (blackmailing starts) Probably why our generation chooses to have the same partner for so many years instead, of course undercover! This is reality..... Would you class this as morally right or worng?

Overall, I would still say if our religion was practiced the RIGHT way, these problems wouldn’t have existed at all!

Typical Asian British Girl

Having to leave education straight after GCSE’s or being “watched” till you get married even being forced to stay home and cook for the family. These concerns are still on British Asian girls minds, even though you’d think time has moved, tradition have changed. But for many Asian girls, they are still under treat from their so called traditional families. Families, which may use the concept of “Religion” to emotionally blackmail the girls to obey their orders.

While working with young Asian girls studying at stage 4, I realised their concerns are quite similar even now. Many worry about making a ‘stupid’ mistake i.e. having a boyfriend and getting caught by their family; this could stop their education even before they were to apply for FE.


However, I’m still considering whether the society would address these issues morally wrong or would you call it “Being a Bad Asian?”

DRUGS; Can we live without them?

I think the lecturer was right about not being able to live without drugs. We are surrounded by them no matter what; drugs are used to cure us as we are ill. They are used to alter certain things in our bodies. Probably another way of keeping your body the way you desire it without having to go through pin and needles sessions.
Although in society, we all teach one another drugs are bad yet we all still take drugs. Example; medicines, Passive smoking, and those we take for pleasure i.e. class drugs etc

Bad cinema

Often when you come out of the cinemas, you hear your mates saying completely different about the movie you have all just watched.

Some may criticise the move some may not. Flop movies often give the industries a bad name, especially form the magazine critics. However what I would call bad cinema is when movies are made to encourage the youngsters, i.e. bad teen films, movies to do with terrorism etc... That may encourage the wrong crowd of people to react upon the reviews of the films.

Shop lifting; Who does it?

Well when ever this question is asked many would reply “tramps”

Maybe that is true, homeless tend do it a lot. Whereas, the other tyoe that do it would be young teenager’s doing it for fun.

These two reasons to do so, I think the homeless would only do it as they are mentally preasurised to do so. They dont work to eat, instead they beg and if the daily earning hasn’t made to daily meal then they would be forced to shoplift. However, this does turn into an addiction For many that may be involved

STALKING

Week 3: stalking a bad thing?

Is stalking is bad? At what extend does stalking become dangerous?

Well stalking is knownas a normal thing to do even though it’s known as crime now। It still happens. I think it’s a bad thing. If ones not being honest then obviousl it’s a sign of a relstionship going going bad or ending. It’s mostly the parnters i think that would do so, either to check on them if their 'other half' is cheating on them or not. But what ever the reason a person has the right to keep their personal space. Stalking is just saddos job and it’s BAD!
