REVIEWED BY: NORAFNI BINTI SATUMIN (1080949)

A few days ago I read an article entitle “Gender Stereotypes Block Women’s Advancement” written by Brian Amble. I got this article from http://www.management-issues.com. This article was very attractive for me because, it was touch about women sensitivity. Honestly, I am not really agree with some statement in this article like “Senior executives' perceptions of men and women are more informed by gender-based stereotypes than facts, leading to misrepresentation women and contributing to the startling gender gap in business leadership.” For me, we cannot misjudge the ability or advancement of women in business leadership in other word “don’t judge a book by its cover”. All of us must know the hidden abilities, talents, aptitudes and so on that the women have before we making a judgment or conclusion of something sensitivity issues like this. Although the research was making to proof this issue, I still argue with the result of the research or experiment. This is because, sometime human make mistake in making some evaluation of some issues. Maybe because of any bad influence that brings bad effect in making the conclusion in other word the exist of bias. My opinion is same like U.S. research and advisory organisation dedicated to advancing women at work that argues that the effects of gender-based stereotyping can be devastating potentially undermining women's capacity to lead, and posing serious challenges to women's career advancement. Ultimately, all parties must give the women chance to show their advancement in business leadership not to devastating and undermining their spirits and ability to lead like the men because, they have the right to do so.

REVIEWED BY: NORAFNI SATUMIN (1080949)

A few days ago, I read an article entitle “A Unique Coming Of Age Ceremony for 50 Deaf Children” written by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz I like the content of this article because its about an amazing coming of age ceremony for 50 deaf children. As we know, the normal and abnormal children are very difference in many aspects like in education, social and so on. The abnormal children like (deaf) cannot accept the knowledge faster because they cannot hear. They just can use their eyes to see what the teachers do in front of them and than using their mind to analyze that. Therefore, it is taking much time. So in this article show us the involvement of 50 deaf children in a unique coming of age ceremony with their families that show and teach them about several things like this ceremony address the importance of community, giving to the community, and understanding the meaning and importance of prayer. Therefore, the deaf children can get the benefit from that ceremony that, they cannot have from others place or ceremony. As a conclusion, may a lot of ceremony like this will be held entire the world as a symbol of care and concern to the abnormal children to making their life normal like the lucky children.
