Family Management and Parenting

MOVIE REVIEW ON “EVERY CHILD IS SPECIAL”

NAME: RAUDHAH RAZAK

MATRIC NO: 

INSTRUCTOR: DR. OUAHIBA SAOUDI

SECTION: 37

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim....

From the movie that I have watched, that is “Every Child is Special”, I found that this movie is very interesting and everyone should watch it. This is because; in this movie it addresses the real life problem that one family may face in their life. The lessons from this movie are applicable to all families especially for parents. This movie also just not told us that every child is special; it also leads us to think the pressure building upon young generation by their so called parents, friends, and teachers.

This movie is a story about a young boy named Ishaan who suffers from dyslexia. This disease is a slight disorder of the brain that causes difficulty in reading, spelling, writing and understanding letters, words and sentences. As a dyslexia child, this boy suffers all of these difficulties. He also was simply getting in trouble at school for being so misbehaving and out of focus from his instructional classes. Too often, he may be caught by his teacher daydreaming and getting low grades. Because of the following, his father sent him to boarding school, all alone and homesick with the hope of disciplining him. But the academic status of Ishaan managed still not improves. Alternatively, he became withdrawn and lonely, far from the Ishaan who was active and fun-loving. All his hopes, passion and imagination also died. When everything is down, then came an alternative art teacher who changed the best way of Ishaan would act towards his school’s life and figure out on how to appreciate himself, even more.

So, based on my understanding of this movie, I will relate it with family management and parenting for this report. Hopefully throughout this report it will help me and others people much better to perform a better life than before.

. 

The first point I can say here is about the rights and responsibilities in family. In this movie it is clearly shows the roles as a father, mother and sons. As a leader of family, his father works so hard to support his family and trying to provide well life of living to his family member by giving them education, and fulfil their desire. Then, the mother plays her role as best as she can to manage the family. She is cooking, tidy up their house, and educating their children. The sons, they just have to concentrate on their study. This is what Ishaan’s parent wants. They want their children success in study. Actually, the parents should know that, being a topper and doing extremely well in academics is not everything in life.

Besides that, what I can learn from this movie is about resolution of conflicts. The conflict of this movie happened when Ishaan’s parent got to know that Ishaan was fighting with his friends and skipped from class. His father can’t stand anymore, and then decided to send Ishaan to boarding school. Actually, this is not the best way to solve the problem. But, as a parent they should not simply punished their child without considerate his problems first. The most important is the parents must believe their children. It is really important that they know their children and they need to consider what their child feel and what they want in life. Understanding their needs, patience and caring is very important to the children not only for special children but to all. If one can understand their children better, and give them the life they deserve in itself, I’m sure that the family will live in this life with harmony and peacefully.

For me this movie is totally awesome and very inspiring movie. This is because; in this movie it promotes the idea that every child should be treated with love and respect despite of their faults. Plus, this movie helps to promote the thought that being different, in whatever way is not exactly abnormal wrong. In order to be good and great parent, they must not lose hope on the child and especially on Allah, because every child has their own talents.

As we all know, Allah swt created every individual either normal or not with such wonderful talents, skills and ability. In this movie, we can see that even Ishaan is slows in his study and always making trouble, but he is very good in art and painting. It is cannot be denied that, his imagination about something was great. Everyone is made to be precious that is why instead of hurting or maltreating people like Ishaan they must then be loved, cared and simply appreciate the beauty beyond their being special. As a parent, they must know that care is another way of showing love.

            Parents play the important part in the grown up children. It means that, they must have well understanding of child development. This is because; being a child they need the guidance from the parent itself. Parent must give them the opportunities to learn, trying something new in life and giving them their importance which is their rights as child. It does not mean that the parent should allow the child to play all the times, but at the same time they must take that opportunity to teach, educate their child. Family support, patience and love are very important in the process to develop the child development and thus it also can be the way to maintain healthy family lifestyle.

            As a conclusion, the parent must show their affection and love to the child. Hugging, and kissing from the parent to the child is important because it can bring something meaningful in child’s life. When the parents spend their time together with the children and sharing their problems and opinions about something, it is actually can lead to happiness in one’s family. Parent’s concern is very important in children life because whatever they do they will refer to their parents first. In one word it says that the parent’s action will reflect their children characters. Lastly, in one of the hadith of our Prophet it mentioned that “the best people among you are who the best to his family and kinship is”.

REPORT ON EARLY MARRIAGE

Everyone has their own opinions about early marriage. Same goes to me. For me, early marriage is something that very interesting. It is good to marry early, especially for teenagers nowadays. This is because for me, early marriage will bring more good than harm. In Islam also, the institution of marriage has been given tremendous importance. Prophet SAW said in one of his hadith  “ three things that do not be delay, which was in prayer when the time, the body once it has been completed (managing a bath and shroud) and the girl who having found (spouse) suitable for herself.” (H.R. Tirmidhi). So, from this hadith it is clearly to say that early marriage is very encouraged in Islam. Allah SWT will not do something without a reason. Every single thing that He created and every single word that He said is meaningful. Same here with was our Prophet SAW said. I’m sure that, there will have many benefits (hikmah) upon the early marriage.

Early marriage does benefit teenagers and young adults in many ways. The first benefit of early marriage is it provides emotional support for the couples. As we know, sometimes teenagers are too emotional and sensitive. So, when they have got married they can share and express their problems and happiness with their spouses in permitted way. Yes, it is true that we can just share it with the family, but there is still a difference. Some parents maybe there were too busy with the other child or maybe they were too busy with their work until neglected their child. But, through early marriage, there will be the one who will always concern and take care of us. We can freely share and express everything in our life with the spouses. Plus, teenagers who were got married earlier will not burden again their parent and can learn to be independent. They prefer to venture on their own, set up families and manage their own affairs. Here, they can learn something news and got many experiences in their life from the beginning that will bring them benefits to apply for their future life.

Besides that, like I said before it is good for teenagers nowadays got married at an early age. This is because as we can see today there is many reports and news about social ills problem among teenagers. The cases of baby dumping, adultery, rape and others is actually comes from the desire. So, by married at an early age it can protect oneself from Shaitaan by satisfying one’s desire. According to the hadith of the Prophet pbuh "Whoever has the ability should marry for it is better in lowering the 
gaze and guarding one's chastity. Whoever is not able let him fast 
for it is for him a restraint." (Al-Bukhari).See, how beautiful Islam is! Subhanaallah.. The most important is marriage actually can fulfil of the natural urge. The practice of marriage is the way to remove evil and protect again shameful failure. Plus, early marriage also can provide healthy lifestyle to the society. This is because by adding responsibilities upon the individual, marriage enhances one status in society and gives us an opportunity for training in bearing and hardships of life. For example, teenagers who got married at an early age can learn to shoulder responsibilities towards their families. Thus, at that time it also can build good society and environment. Being a parent, husband, and wife has their own responsibilities. As a father, he needs to provide basic need to his family. Prophet said that, a man will be rewarded for what he spends for the family even for putting a morsel of food in his wife’s mouth. So, from that hadith Allah SWT actually gives us an opportunity to collect the reward as many as we can.

Marriage is a religious duty and the Prophet also has said that “the best people of my ummah are those who get married and have chosen their wives and the worst people ot mu ummah are those who have kept away from marriage and are passing their lives as bachelors”. Marriage also can safeguard one’s faith. This can be proved in one of the hadith which is “whoever marries, protects half of his religion, then for the remaining only fear God”. Then the most interesting thing of getting married at an early age is obtaining children. The children are the precious gift given Allah SWT. This is because in the hereafter, righteous children can benefit their parents as the Prophet said “whenever the son of Adam dies his action stop except three which is knowledge that benefits people, a recurring charity and a righteous child that supplicates for his parent”

So, as the conclusion I totally agreed that young marriage can be beneficial. It is true that there is will be disadvantages of an early marriage which is they may not be all that mature to cope up with responsibilities, but together as a couple they can resolve all the sort of their problems in life. Every person has the right to choose what is best in their life. Whether to marry at an early age or not it is just depend on that people itself. If that person loves challenges in their life they can go on to have marriage at an early age. Allah has mentioned that He will not burden someone except with the capability of His man to cope with it. So, it is clear to say that marriage can be as a test of faith from Allah to His mankind. If we succeed in this test we will be given reward by Allah in the Hereafter. Insyaallah!

Patutkah Saya Berkahwin Awal? [copied]

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda: Tiga perkara yang jangan dilambat-lambatkan, iaitu solat apabila telah masuk waktunya, jenazah apabila telah siap (urusan mandi dan kafan) dan anak gadis setelah ditemui (pasangan) yang sesuai untuknya. (H.R. Tirmidzi)

Kahwin awal bukan satu masalah. Mari lihat persoalan-persoalan yang selalu menerjah di kepala anak-anak muda yang fitrahnya terhalang atas sebab-sebab tertentu.

1. Kahwin waktu masih belajar, adakah tidak mengganggu pelajaran?

Siapa cakap kahwin waktu sedang belajar mengganggu? Salah tanggapan tu. Sepatutnya, kahwin awal lebih memberi kita semangat yang membara. Yelah, sudah ada pasangan yang halal dan akan sentiasa menyokong kita, mesti la lagi bersemangat mau belajar kan? Lagi satu, orang yang sudah kahwin ni akan berasa lebih bertanggungjawab dari sebelum kahwin. Sebab mereka tahu bahawa mereka punya pasangan untuk dijaga, jadi mereka pun akan berusaha untuk buat yang terbaik bagi pasangan mereka. Apa-apa pun, tengok ibu bapa kita saja sebagai contoh. Sudah kahwin, tapi adakah mengganggu kerja mereka? Tidak kan?

2. Saya masih belajar, macam mana mahu bagi nafkah pada isteri kalau belum ada kerja?

Saya tahu ramai antara kita yang masih belajar, dan ramai yang meminjam dapat elaun biasiswa. Saya beranggapan pasangan yang ingin dikahwini jugak masih study Jadi ia bermakna dua-dua masih dapat hidup dengan wang yang asas tu. Jadi, sementara masih belum ada kerja, suami berilah nafkah yang termampu kepada isteri. Mungkin $25 atau $50 sebulan? Bergantung kepada berapa banyak isteri gunakan untuk makan. Lagipun, isteri jugak ada wang, jadi tak perlu rasa ada masalah di situ. Yang penting dua-dua masih dapat hidup. Lain la kalau isteri demand kereta, rumah, rantai emas, baju berlambak-lambak, dan macam-macam lagi. Jadi, sepatutnya tiada masalah dalam bab nafkah. Cuba kita tengok orang Arab zaman Nabi dulu. Adakah kebanyakan daripada mereka orang berharta? Tidak. Mereka cuma mampu memberi isteri makan makanan setakat yang mereka mampu beri. Itu pun sudah mencukupi untuk dijadikan nafkah. Nabi tak larang pun orang miskin berkahwin. Jangan jadikan kekurangan wang sebagai penghalang perkahwinan. Itu namanya menyalahkan takdir Allah. Berdosa.

Firman Allah: Dan kahwinkanlah orang-orang bujang (lelaki dan perempuan) dari kalangan kamu, dan orang-orang yang soleh dari hamba-hamba kamu, lelaki dan perempuan. Jika mereka miskin, Allah akan memberikan kekayaan kepada mereka dari limpah kurniaNya kerana Allah Maha Luas (rahmatNya dan limpah kurniaNya), lagi Maha Mengetahui. (An-Nur:32)

3. Macam mana mahu cari modal untuk majlis perkahwinan?

Apa perkara asas dalam kahwin? Ya, akad nikah dan walimatul urus. Merisik dan bertunang tu bukan wajib pun. Jadi, potong kos seperti bagi hantaran waktu merisik dan bertunang, sudah jimat wang. Waktu akad nikah pun, jemputlah keluarga terdekat dengan kawan-kawan saja yang dapat datang. Berdosa bila tidak menghadiri jemputan walimatul urus. Jadi, jimat sikit kos kenduri. Buang wang saja sewa pelamin, sewa baju pengantin, sewa jurukamera dengan mak andam semua tu kerana ia termasuk dalam hal-hal yang sia-sia. Mas kahwin pun tidak perlu tinggi-tinggi kerana sebaik-baik magar adalah yang paling rendah. Mudah saja majlis perkahwinan dalam agama Islam. Tidak sampai puluh ribu pun.

Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w: Tiga golongan yang akan selalu diberi pertolongan oleh Allah ialah seorang mujahid yang selalu memperjuangkan agama Allah s.w.t, seorang penulis yang selalu memberi penawar dan seorang yang menikah demi menjaga kehormatan dirinya. (H.R. Thabrani)

4. Tidak terlalu awalkah untuk saya berkahwin?

Kalau rasa dengan kahwin boleh buat semangat untuk belajar semakin meningkat, kahwin la. Kalau rasa kahwin boleh buat diri semakin bersemangat dalam agama, kahwin la. Kalau rasa kahwin boleh elak daripada fitnah dan maksiat, kahwin la. Itu maksudnya, kahwin memang perlu di usia muda. Benda yang baik, jangan dilambatkan. Takut kelak bertukar menjadi benda yang tidak baik. Cuba bayangkan anda ada pasangan yang disukai. Kan bagus kita cepatkan benda yang baik dengan berkahwin terus. Tapi kalau kita melambatkan perkahwinan yang bagus itu, mungkin kita akan terjerumus ke lembaah maksiat. Kenapa kita boleh beralasan untuk melakukan perkara yang halal, tetapi tidak langsung mengemukakan alasan untuk melakukan perkara yang haram? Tanya diri, jagalah iman.

Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w: Apabila datang kepadamu seorang laki-laki untuk meminang, yang engkau redha terhadap agama dan akhlaknya, maka nikahkanlah dia. Bila tidak engkau lakukan maka akan terjadi fitnah di muka bumi dan akan timbul kerosakan yang merata di muka bumi. (H.R. Tirmidzi dan Ahmad)

5. Bersediakah saya untuk kahwin awal?

Ini soalan paling bagus ditanya kepada diri sendiri. Tanya dulu soalan asas ni. Sudahkah saya solat penuh 5 kali sehari semalam? Bertanggungjawab sudahkah saya? Adakah saya panas baran atau penyabar? Adakah saya seorang yang bercakap menggunakan akal atau bertindak menggunakan akal di lutut? Pendek kata, ada banyak soalan spesifik yang boleh ditanya kepada diri sendiri. Walau apa pun jawapan dia, ini nasihat saya. Sentiasalah perbaiki diri dan mantapkan diri. Orang yang sudah berkahwin dan sedang belajar solat lebih baik berbanding orang yang sudah kahwin dan pandai solat tapi tidak amalkannya lepas kahwin. Orang yang bersedia mengubah dirinya adalah yang paling bersedia sebenarnya.

6. Macam mana dengan restu ibu bapa?

Ya, ini la benda paling susah bila mahu kahwin awal. Faktor penghalang paling utama. Kalau kita dapat menjelaskan dengan baik kepada ibu bapa dan mereka faham, insyaAllah tiada masalah untuk berkahwin awal. Tapi kalau ibu bapa kita susah mahu terima sebab fikiran mereka masih terikat dengan fikiran tipikal masyarakat Melayu sekarang ni yang lebih terpengaruh kepada adat dan cerekarama di tv semata-mata, serta pemikiran risau akan tak cukup wang nak sara anak dara orang, sudah tentu mereka tidak akan terima setiap hujah yang diberikan seperti di atas. Apa-apa pun, saya doakan yang terbaik untuk mereka yang mahu kahwin awal supaya cepat bertemu jodoh. Ingat, bila seseorang itu berkahwin kerana ingin mengikut sunnah Rasulullah, maka terbukalah segala pintu rezeki untuknya. Lihat, betapa banyaknya kelebihan kahwin awal. Fikiran kita yang sempit saja membuatkan kahwin ni nampak terlalu susah sangat.

Umar bin al-Khattab r.a telah berkata: Kahwinlah anak-anak kamu apabila sampai baligh, janganlah kamu menanggung dosa-dosa mereka. (Disebut oleh Ibnu Jauzi dalam Ahkam An-Nisa)

Nasihat saya untuk golongan-golongan yang sedang hangat bercinta tu, sebaiknya kahwinlah awal. Lebih banyak kelebihan kahwin awal berbanding kahwin lambat. Tapi semua itu pilihan masing-masing juga. Mudah-mudahan setiap pilihan yang kita buat adalah yang terbaik dan dirahmati Allah. InsyaAllah.

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda: Siapa yang benci dengan cara hidup (sunnah) ku maka dia tidak termasuk golonganku. (H.R. Bukhari dan Muslim)

TOPIC : DISCIPLANARY PROBLEMS AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Background of the Study

The issue of disciplinary problems among students is no longer considered as alienation in one’s society. It is also widely published in mass media nowadays. Not only students who came from urban area, this issue also involved in students who came from rural area. As we can see today, these indiscipline students are mostly the students who were weak in their study. Despite of that fact, it cannot be denied that the excellent students in their study also not excluded to become a part of these indiscipline students.

Through this study, it leads me to a clear glance on the issue of disciplinary problems among IIUM students. I also was able to see the interrelated factors that can be retrieved when approaching this kind of students. The real situation that takes place on student’s behaviour will reveal thousands of secrets that lie within. This includes the story of their life, routines, social interaction, family background and others. Besides, it is a good way in understanding the real definition of their world which is definitely different with me.

In addition, this study is important in order to identify what are the factors that lead these students to commit with disciplinary problems. It is best for me to identify behind their problems and know the reasons why these students commit with disciplinary problems. Different people have different behaviour. Thus, in this context, it reveals that students commit various type of misconduct behaviour for example dress code, long hair and smoking. Disciplinary issues are serious problem because it can be connected with the punishment of people who break rules. These student who involved in this problem is actually fail to follow the rules and regulations that amended by the university.

Research Question

This study is conducted to contribute a new knowledge and information about student’s characteristics and behaviour in the field of Sociology and Anthropology. The contributions of this study will be discovered through the research question and research objective. The research question is:

1.     What are the causes of disciplinary problems among IIUM students?

2.     What are the effects of punishment towards these students?

3.     What types of misconduct behaviour that these students involved the most?

Objectives

This research is expected to achieve three different objectives. They are:

1.     To study the reasons of why students can engage in this problem.

2.     To identify the impacts of being punishment toward these students. 

3.     To know what kind of misconduct behaviour that often done by these students.

Research Methodologies

In every research, there may involve both qualitative as well as quantitative techniques in order to reduce limitations of each. The qualitative research is seen as subjective, instructed and reliable but provides much data and usually considered to be more valid than quantitative research.  The qualitative method investigates the why and how of decision making, not just what, where, when.  It much more likes an interviews and case studies and deals generally with much smaller numbers.

Quantitative research methodology in the other hand is generally regarded as objective, structured and reliable but over – systematic and lacking in validity. It is a research method that relies less on interviews, observations, and small numbers of questionnaires, focus groups, subjective reports and case studies but is much more focused on the collection and analysis of numerical data and statistics.

In this research, I will use the qualitative techniques mostly such as conducting an interview and survey on random sampling among IIUM students. The main research objective is to understand deeply, observed and identified the behaviour of this university student. Therefore, research methods and methodology is the overall plan for obtaining answers to the research questions.

Sample and population

In this study, qualitative approach will take place in which I will make an in depth interview with roughly about 10 respondents. Ten students from International Islamic University Malaysia are chosen to be the population of this study. The students that are chosen from this Kulliyyah consist of students from the Kuliyyah Engineering, Kuliyyah Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences, Kuliyyah of AIKOL, and Kuliyyah of Architecture.

Random sampling will be conducted in my research in order to take note their experiences, opinions and causes that lead them to engage in this problem. In random sampling, each item or element of the population has an equal chance of being chosen at each draw.

The three main advantages of sampling are that the cost is lower, data collection is faster, and since the data set is smaller it is possible to ensure homogeneity and to improve the accuracy and quality of the data.

Data collection and data analysis

In – depth interview will be conducted in order to fulfil the task. As it is a research which deals with feeling, experience and personal thing, therefore, it is consider as a very sensitive issues as it is related with respondent’s sensitivity. Respondents are also asked to give their comments and opinion on the situations that occur in their life. From this, their behaviour and attitudes as indiscipline students will be revealed in a better way. Our interviews will include question that related to our topic which is the causes of them broken the rules and regulations of university. Questions such as their experience, educational background, family members and their expectations will be asked in order to fulfil the task given. While conducting the research, we had faced several obstacles such as limited number of references due to the sensitive issues. There are not many students are found to cooperate in this research. They refused to cooperate in answering the questions.

Significance of Study

Why I choosing this topic is because thus issue have been increasing in Malaysia today and became the greatest problems. The growing of indiscipline students haunting our society today, especially when the authorities cannot control them. So, this study is important in not only contributing a new knowledge in the field of Sociology and Anthropology but at the same time giving lots of benefits to the society as a whole.

This study is expected to contribute to the university administration which here to provide support and information for the university’s disciplinary polices. Thus, it will help university administrator identify and discover the problem of these indiscipline students and at the same time it will bring to a safe and secure learning environment for all members of the campus community.

Last but not least, this study is expected to contribute a new part of knowledge to the field of Sociology and Anthropology. It can be used as a reference for the future researchers in contributing more knowledge about this kind of issue.

Research Finding

Based on the interview and survey that has been conducted, I have questioned about 10 students who I seen sitting in the cafe, class and library. Their ages are between 19 to 24 years old. Majority of them are the citizens of this country. From the 10 respondents, I got to find 5 male students and 5 female students. There is 1 of my respondents have got married. Most of my respondents came from urban area. Exploratory studies indicate that many variables affect student behaviour. For instance, age, gender, and residential area have been shown to be important variables.

Based on the survey, I found out that 6 students have been accused for disciplinary problem. Majority of them did the mistake for 1 time only. It means that 50% did the mistake for 1 time, 20% did the mistake for 2 times only and the rest did that mistake for more than 3 times. So, it proved that majority of these students will not repeat their mistake. It means that, they have learned from their past. From those 6 respondents, most of them are male, their ages are between 21 and 22 years old and they were come from urban area.

The statistic of the main factors that leads students to the disciplinary problems is influence by friends which is with 30%, lack of guidance also 30%, pressure and stress is about 20% and self discipline also is about 20%. Thus, here it shows that, peer group play an important role in order to build one’s character. This is because, living in a society we may expose to the behaviour of our friend. Friend is reflected our self. Based on interview session with my respondents, they said that pressure and stress can lead to disciplinary because of these students cannot face their problem such as problem in their study, financial and family problem. Thus, they tend to break the rule in order to get attention.

For the next question, the respondents were asked about the most popular discipline problem done by the students. 40%   answered from the dress code, 30% answered from the smoking, 10% answered from the cleanliness within the campus, 10% answered from the squatting and the other 10% answered from the misuse and missing facilities. Mostly students were caught for dress code when they were not wearing an appropriate attire during go to the class.

Next question is actually want to know what will happen if disciplinary problems cannot be prevented. 40% answered from the increasing the recalcitrant among students, 30% answered from the leads to influence of bullies, 20% answered from the social ill problems will happen and the other 10% answered from the corruption. . So, in order to overcome this problem from happened, a question about the punishment toward these students were asked. This question is wanted to know whether the punishment will bring positive effect or negative effect. So, based on my finding it shows that 60% of respondents answered that punishment will bring positive effect rather than negative effect.

Lastly the respondents were asked about the solution to overcome this problem. Parents and guardians should monitor the student's movements to avoid them from getting involved in unhealthy activities. Besides, the government can implement new education policy like courses on law.

Conclusion

As the conclusion, disciplinary problems among students are universal problem in education settings throughout the world. We seem to relate disciplinary problems with the influence of modernization such as the advancement of technologies, changing of life style and culture and we also relate it to students not abiding by religious teaching and values. So, from my research study, I can conclude that this problem happened because of many factors. This problem also does not belong to someone else or another community but it belong to all of us. As we all know university’s disciplinary policies are designed to provide a safe and secure learning environment for all members of the campus community. Unfortunately, there are times when students run afoul of disciplinary and academic codes. So, as a good society we must cooperate and support each other to overcome this problem. From my findings to this study it was achieved my research objective in which I expected to study the reasons of why students can engage in this problem, to identify the impacts of being punishment toward these students and to know what kind of misconduct behaviour that often done by these students. As a student, we must follow the rules and not violate it. We should be a role model to the next batch.  In short, we must learn on how to behave properly and know the values, ethics and virtue as a student. So basically, we as a vicegerent and slave in this world should take serious this problem as because Allah has given us the responsibility to protect and lead the world according to Quran and Sunnah. If we were guided by them surely we will live in this life with peaceful and harmony.
