UK Riots 2011

                                             Geographics (2011)

Between the 6^th and the 10^th of August 2011 the UK riots had come into an action in London. Several of people had rioted in cities, towns and London boroughs.  The riots started in the 6^th of august followed by the death of Mark Duggan. He is a 29 years old man who was killed by a police officer during a traffic stop. During the London riots illegal things happened that caused harm to other people, for example, breaking down shops and burning them. Meanwhile, what I saw in these two videos was very violence. People are breaking down shops and stealing some stuff from the shops. They are making violence and burning stuff that causes air pollution. I think that the government should take action to stop what is happening and punish the police officer of killing Mark. According to The Vigilant Citizen (2011) they reported that “Facebook and Twitter to oppose calls for social media blocks during riots.” So that means that the government must deal with the media so that they do not spread more information about the riots.

Posh is a word that means the person that is being elegent or stylish. In other words a person in an upper class. the word orgin originaly came from this short story. According to Oxford Dictionaries (2013) they stated “The story goes that the more well-to-do passengers on ships travelling between England and India used to have POSH written against their bookings, standing for 'Port Out, Starboard Home'.”

Poster Presentation

 

 

 

 

Department of Veterans Affairs (2013)

 

Last lesson I did a poster presentation about my major which is logistics and supply chain management. Lots of things went well in this presentation. Firstly, my voice was very loud. Secondly, I had some examples when I was presenting and thirdly, I had lots of information that is presented. The only thing that I can do better next time is by not giving my back to the audience and not reading from the notes that I have written. Most of my information’s are from the University of South Wales website, because they had lots of information about this major and what types of topics and lectures I’m going to have. Well, it wasn’t so difficult to get this information about my major because in the university website the information was well organised and presented. My major is a business major. Back in my country people rarely study this major. So, it’s a good opportunity for me to study this major and work in a private company. The thing that I’m not looking forward in my major is to be a business woman because I hate dealing with money and this kind of stuff. The only question that I still need an answer for is, ‘is this Major a very difficult major?’
