The Social Animal - Emile Durkheim

Time flies and water continues dropping. It has been 2 months since started my LLB life in Brickfields Asia College. I am blogging again , last time i used to blog only once in a blue moon. In next to no time, the IPTA( Local Public University) list is going to release . My friends urged me to apply Law in UM and i did so. Since i have not much of faith getting a sit in UM( University Malaya for your knowledge if you dont know), so i get enrolled into BAC which i think i have a great time over there now. It is going to be a herculean task for me to choose whether should i stay or leave. As what people said, it is always hard to say goodbye. Isnt it sounds so sheepish as i know myself won't be able to secure a sit in UM and yet think of that. Am i thinking too much ? I would not deny or neglect your point of view saying that i am anyway. In regards on this issue, one of my friend who always said that i am thinking too much who is Jxxxxxx ( he dont want me to cite his name here,sorry). Well, he taught me a lot of things and maybe some philosophy of life i would say. I should really thanks him profusely on that even he still strongly says that he did nothing. Yes, thinking too much will indeed may bring some complication of feeling. In another view, it is a must to think that much, i think considering is a better word. Instead of saying i am thinking too much, why not saying that i take more things into consideration so everything is under control ? Isnt that one of the requirement of a lawyer is to think ?However, Thanks a bunch to those who has given me some advice and helps ! One of the principle of my life is i will never forget people who has helped me. I really appreciate it. Friends, i will definitely help you if i can do it. Remember my words. Howsoever you all may adviced me not to think so much , i will take it for the usage in the future. Till now, i am still doing what i think i suppose to do and think what i suppose to think. How stubborn this creature is , its me, Junhong. Lolx.... Besides, i am also glad that i have 'Heng dais'- BROTHERS& SISTERS in my life where they have guide me a lots in my life. They are important to me ! Very important. They know me more than my family members. They play a significant role in my life on whatever i have faced, Studies, Personality or Characteristic , Family, Friendship, or recently they even help me in dealing with love which torturing me these few months.( Trust me, u will be surprise what they have done!) Therefore, sometimes you will see me remain silent. I just cant control myself. Excessive thinking has controls all over my body even my mind.

Last time, i used to hate sociology very much. After November 2008, i started liking it. Learning all those philosophies and sociologies is indeed one of the best experience ever in my life. Why ? It will be useful in my law journey or my entire life. It is sad that there are less institution offering this subject in A-levels. In my honest opinion, it is important for future lawyer. It is not to point out that i may be excel in sociology which in fact i dont, i failed once ! The marking of sociology is very stringent and it commonly known as one of the toughest subject in Cambridge A-levels. I tried myself the best to understand this subject and finally i got through. I got a D , I am dare to share this out is not to show that i am good enough. But, it is just simply want to prove those who think i am bright and smart is definitely wrong. Honestly, i worked my fingers to the bone and yet, I got a D , not an A. The fact tells everything. I still need to thanks to Mr Shankar, he makes sociology no longer a total stranger to me and i passed, most importantly. Hehe...

Just not talking too much on that, Emile Durkheim who is a french sociologist and known as the father of sociology used to describe human as the social animal. Why is that ? My knowledge is limited and have poor memorising skill, so, i have no idea whether can what i have laid down here hold much water. Anyway, i will share whatever i know. Society basically forms by a group of human with collective conscience along with norms and culture that is established since time immemorial. Criticism may be arises since he uses the word 'animal', it is quite true in a sense. Animal can hardly live alone , neither do man- The Lord of all Creatures ? . People need to stay together to make a strong society. Therefore, we need socialisation. Socialisation in sociology brings another meaning as what we used to understand it is. We need socialisation to make sure we can live together in a crowd of people so life easier. Of course, it depends on the society's norms , values and cultures on the way people socialise themselve and it changes from time to time as well. In short, it states that human can hardly survive alone. It is essential for ones to socialise and get to know each other in this society. Ooops...when it comes to this question, i shall remain silent as i am not good in socialisation. However, i would still give my two cents on this issue. First, how would you define socialisation? I was once being told by my friend that i am kind of passive. I wonder how does that jurisdiction come from and she never gives her reason for that. Maybe she has her own reason for not explain it indepth. It is rather unjustified whereby ones should notice both sides of a person, whenever you see there is an introvert side of that person, it does not mean that there is no extrovert side in that person. Human is a complicated animal where one words cannot describe it clearly. If ones dare to give me a one word judgement, i can swear he or she will get a lot of question from me.

Second, What is the purpose of you getting socialable ? In realitivism , it states that human is selfish, Glaucon's view is, Essentially, he believes all persons are selfish, self-interested, and egoistic. What do you think ? Is that one of the purpose of you being socialisable , to get more benefits from others ? Be true and be sincere is the best way to socialise, in my point of view. However, it is sometimes out of your control , whereby you need to know more in order socialise and mix with all kind of people. I am very shallow when it comes to knowledge and skills. Therefore i guess, thats one of the reason why i couldnt really socialise well ?
