The start of my degree journey is an eye opener for me especially when I 've learned these courses; Introduction to Sociology, Introduction to Malaysian Social History and Statistics for Social Sciences. I choose these three core courses because it have given such impact on me and at the same time, it changed my perspective in so many 'everyday' things that I didnt pay attention to such as, reading political and social assumptions on the internet and then believing and assuming things solely based on one perspective.

IN Introduction to Sociology, where my class had learned many theories and terms that lead to answers in order to explain and solve social problems in a society. Basically, it helps me to look at social problems with more than a perspective through sociological theories. Whereas, in Introduction to Malaysian History, I've learned that our everyday life, is also a history. I didnt know that at first, and also I've learned that we are blinded by our dominant history and mostly we judged a historical event with our own judgements that  most of the time we think that will benefit us and doesnt bother to understand the impacts to others. For example, one of the most historic agreement in forming Malaysia, Malaysian Agreement 1963. Lastly, Statistic for Social Sciences had changed my perspective in looking at evidences in explaining various problem too. As a sociology student we are told to use scientific methods in order to explain various situation and one of it is to have evidence. Various studies are made through statistics, and it is indeed a skill for every social scientist need to have, so I don't simply look at a social problem without knowing others perspective. With these skills that I acquired from my first semester, I have so many new perspective that for sure will  help  me in everything I do.

I am still in my first year of degree yet I have learned more new perspective based on the subjects I have learnt in Semester 2 such as Anthropology, Philosophy and Political Science. In anthropology, I learned more about culture and the holistic approach that is used by anthropologists in studying humans. Based on Anthropology, I know that it is not easy to understand human beings but it is necessary to be studied in order to explain it to others and suggest ways settle problems in society. Next, Philosophy are derived from Latin word 'philosophia', meaning the love of wisdom. In philosophy, I learned about epistemology, which means asking yourself or others on how do you know what you know? The theory of knowledge taught me on taking in only valid or justified opinion based on ethical methods.
Lastly, Political Science which taught me the reason as to why politicians behave a certain way. I was taught that power in wrong hands could lead to bad intentions so is the other way around.

I am entering the first semester of the second year of my degree. I think with every new semester that I had gone through, there are more new perspective that I gained. There are a few subjects that gave me that experience. One of it is Sociology of Youth, which me and my course mates enjoyed because we learned about youth, in terms of their social behavior. In a way, we learned more about ourselves and how important we are to the society. I am more aware of how significant my role is to the society, no matter how young and not important I feel. I also learned about the forces that changes influence youngsters; their psychological and cultural development. Next, a subject that offered me a new perspective is Culture and Ethnicity in Borneo. Through this subject, I know the differences between culture and ethnicity, and more about Borneo. I never truly care until I learned this subject, its very interesting to learn about how culture can be passed one generation to another meanwhile ethnicity can not be passed over. This subject also make me learn to appreciate more about my family's culture.

Some of the new perspective I had learned is based of Contemporary Indigenous Belief System, where I learned to tone down my judgements on other people's culture and beliefs. Every thing I had learned in this subject makes me feel humbled and I realized how important it is to learn about other's belief, of course without abandoning your own beliefs. We need to be more aware of others belief and not blindly judge them for what they believed in. I also am very aware how important planning and product research is in order to sell products. I always thought, those who can make money easily are smart and can be very convincing, turns out it is more than that. This new perspective I gained is through learning Foundation of Entrepreneurship.

A new perspective I had learned through Borneo Ethnography, as ethnography is the recording and analysis of a culture or society through observation and resulted in a written account of people, place and institution. From this subject, I learned that not everything that in pictures or written in front of us is interpreted correctly. Therefore, I learned that there is a need to do more comparison, learning especially from different experienced ethnographers, and even living with them, in order to learn indigenous people's culture, beliefs and lifestyle unbiased. Other than that, Sociology of Development also gave me a new perspective. I learned that rather than looking at development problems in our society and judge it based on our own lack of understanding, it is better to look it through various development theories and approaches.
