REFLECTION TOPIC 4

In this unit, I interested with the first reading (Reading 4.1) ‘Body language that speak to muggers’. The writer come out with the body language of a pedestrian could cause them to be a victim to the muggers. The way muggers see someone who got the potential to be the victim or not is based on the way their walk whether they easy to get rip-off or hard. By told this to the readers, they could aware on their surrounding especially to the pedestrian who walks alone or even with partners.

Nevertheless, there are some difficulties on my reading in reading 4.4 on page 61. In the reading, the writer comes out with four examples of common statistical slips that might consciously or unconsciously. The last example, misleading presentation get my attention to question it because how the statistical could be misleading when it in graphs. From my own knowledge, I found that there is an axis ‘y’ and ‘x’. So, the statistical should not easy to be manipulated because the shape or the exact condition will show that is totally wrong. People will realize the mistake just by they performed the graphs.

Based on the reading 4.2, the writer reported about the overscheduled or overworked among kids until them running out of time for fun, I totally disagree towards the approach taken by parents. This is because their children should have time for fun and be like normal kids. The overscheduled had been doing by parents can cause to negative growing process because they are treated like a teenager or an adult style and it was wrong. They is way how to teach and treat children according to their age level and parent should be alert and have knowledge so that they know how to use the appropriate way to teach their child.
