can use to observe information. I every time start reading, I think about
Muscle reading techniques which I applied before reading, while reading
and after reading. Before I read the whole book or any text, I check
content, some information, provably picture, and some titles. While I’m
reading, read carefully, underline and highlight, and focus and after I
finished reading, I would recall or recite, review, some exercise—
questions and answers, and also retrieval practice which helps better than
study techniques.

try to find out why is wrong, which will be correct answers. For some students,
test score also persuade them to struggle/hard work on their next test which
leads them to be master students.

17. Define and discuss the differences between: Stereotypes, Prejudice and
Discrimination:
The word Stereotype originally referred to a method used by printers to produce
duplicate pages of text. This usage still rings true. When we stereotype, we gloss
over individual differences and assumes that every members of a groups is a
duplicate. Prejudice refers to a positive or negative attitude or beliefs. For
example like personal needs, social learning and conformity, and also economic
position. And discrimination is behavior to unequal treatment of people because
of their racial, ethnic, religious, or gender. For examples, some company still
paying lower wage to their worker because of black/Mexican.

driving force in history:
Xenophobia is a fear of people from other countries or foreigner and stranger. In
America there is thought of people that all Muslims were terrorists. Once they had a
hard to live in United States. There was event happen in American, Washington D.C.
They turn the real story to movie called “My Name Is Khan” (2010 Bollywood movie in
dual languages English and Hindi). It’s a fact story about a guy from India and he was a
Muslim. He came to United States to seek for a better job and standard of life. That guy
is innocent which has to face a hard situation because of other bad Muslims in United
States. He solved that he is not terrorists by meeting the president of United States. In
the mass of people he says “Mr. President, I’m not terrorist and my name is Khan” but
some people listen he’s saying he is terrorists, so they called the police and caught him
