Critical Literacy

READING 4.1

In this article they argue about the body language that speaks to muggers where I think it is acceptable based on the evidence that showed in that article. Actually, the evidence had been proved by researchers. For example, the researchers analyze that each person’s use 26 movements that form basic components in Labanalysis, a common system for describing and notating movement. As a conclusion, I agree with this issue where muggers can easily point their victims by looking their movements.


READING 4.3

This topic which is entitled ‘What is The Evidence’ tells us about how important is the evidence to prove anything that had been argued. From the article I can say that evidence is the facts, signs and object that make you believe that something is true. For example the information that is used in the court about any cases. Usually testimonial evidence is more trustworthy rather than circumstantial evidence. As a conclusion, nowadays everything needs to be approval as to get someone’s trustiness.


READING 4.4

In this reading 4.4, it explained about statistics where it is normally used in many fields such as by government, business, research worker and literacy field. Statistic has two meaning as in plural it refers to information about phenomenon or activity which is expressed in numerical form while in singular sense; it is used in the art and science of collecting, interpreting numerical data and so on. As a conclusion I can described that statistic is really important but we have to remember that not all of the result is correct.


READING 4.5

This is quite an interesting topic which entitled ‘Crooked and Fallacious Thinking’. In this topic what I can cope is it tells about the medium or maybe can be called as transfer devise where it is used to attract people. People also make conclusion at the 1st sight where it will evaluate it on their expectations. Besides it also can be conclude as complicated thinking where the thinkers the words to make it difficult to understand and this may lead to misunderstanding. That’s all.
