This rule is very important and you must add this when you are doing some research. I will explain the 4 rule which is the topic, content, source and audience.

• THE TOPIC - we must done this first in order to fine another type of rule. in this rule, first we must include the genre (if you making a research on film review), for example if the film is about comedy, so the genre will be comedy. Then, we must introducing the subject which tells the whole story is about. after that, we also must definite position on the subject.

• THE CONTENT - we tell the summary of the whole story. Usually, we used synopsis method which means the highlighted the point. Besides that, we can used the thematic method which are the overview of the main idea. 

• THE SOURCE - we have 3 options in writing the source which is the work, the author and the subject matter. first, the work which is you write about the bigger or the larger work of the film, you write about the story it self. Then, the author, we can write about the background of the author which are the creator of the film, article. Lastly, we can used the subject matter. for example, in the Jeff Goodell article, Jeff Goodell write about Steve Jobs. the subject matter in the article is about Steve Jobs.

• THE AUDIENCE - the meaning of the audience is the two interaction between two people which are the sender and the receiver. we have 3 different types of audience which are the youth, the citizens and the politicians.

THE STEVE JOBS NOBODY KNEW 

He is the man that keep human and technology getting in touch in advanced. he is the man that create new technology that make us more understandable. well you who is he, Steve jobs, the man who creates Apple design technology these days. he is a co-founded Apple Computers with Stephen Wozniak. Under his guidance, the company pioneered a series of revolutionary technologies including the iPhone and iPad. for the people, we only knew only a good thing about him, but not the opposite. Only a few people known him very well with his attitude.

The workers of him tells that his attitude is far more worst as he always struck by his abrasively personality, his unapologetic brutality. the attitude shows is he will screamed, he cried, he stomped his feet. the cruelty that make their workers get out from the company when he driving all the employees to the breaking point and tossing them aside. When Apple ascended, Jobs were completely changed when his temper grows shorter and treating people around him worst than before.

Other than that, when he fathered a daughter with a long time girlfriend, Chrisann Brennan at age 23, he not only denied his paternity, he famously trashed (throw) Brennan in public like he did not do anything to her. even tough he gained a lot of money from the company, not a single piece of money he give to her although Brennan has a financial problem.

Besides, Apple company had been fired him for his attitude. The company took 10 years to forgive him and bring him back to the company. Steve Jobs returning does not changed anything toward his attitude, he still bitter with what happened with what happened at Apple and even bitter toward his closest enemy, Bill Gates.

brain function

BRAIN

What do you know about your brain? What is the function? This are some information that can relate to your brain and its function. firstly, our brain is come from inside of our body which is in our head. our brain can control many things like thinking, control our body functional, and control our mind else well. When our brain keep thinking, it will called critical thinking. what is critical thinking by the way? it is a thought process that considers both sides of equation before concluding something to be true. In critical literacy, we learn about left hemisphere and right hemisphere. before we move on to the other point, these are the definition of left and right hemisphere. 

Left brain hemisphere.

• In tune with only one's very own concept of right and wrong as the basis of one's reality which is called an intrapersonal skills.

Right brain hemisphere.

• Is emphatic to the other concept of right and wrong as the basis of one's reality which is called an interpersonal skills.

Besides that, when we combined our left brain thinking and right brain thinking, it will create a moment which is called an EUREKA moment or people often said as a synergistic or holistic moment.

for example:

• When the first time you got your new hand phone, you do not know how to unlock it but at some time, your friend teach you how to unlock the hand phone and after that, you know how to unlock the hand phone. That moment is called an eureka moment.

videos of land diving in Vanuatu 

This is a land diving that practiced by the native people from Vanuatu. It is a ritual performed by a boy who are ready to become men.

Lets get back to our topic. This will what happen to the people who are using left brain hemisphere and right brain hemisphere. Both of it will have a different style of perception. These are the examples taken from the note given :

Left hemisphere analysis.

• The tradition of land diving among the native of Vanuatu as a way to remove illness is appalling. Removing illness should be the least of their worries because jumping from a seven storey tower may end their lives completely.

Right hemisphere analysis.

• For centuries the native of Vanuatu had been taught to take precautionary steps to ensure the safety of the jumper such as selecting the best vines and performing it only during the dry months. Besides, only the jumper who is fit and able, and granted permission by the elders, who can undertake this astonishing feat.

Land diving (Nangol) in Vanuatu is now one of the most famous activities around the world that being practice until now.
