Task 1: Economic obstacles and social obstacles

Economic obstacles

1. Increase in demand

when demand increase, government need to provide more product and services in order to fulfill the demand. if the demand could not be fulfill, it will led to shortage and automatically will be a barrier for development.

e.g. Issues of oil
when the price of oil increase, government need to spend more on subsidize to minimize the burden of the middle class society. however, the money that are suppose to be use for development had been use on subsidize purpose. as the result, it will obstruct the development project for the country.


2. Economic instability

one of economic instability factor is mismanagement. it will cause a development of a country could not be manage properly. as the result, the country is hard to be develop.

e.g. Issues of corruption
corruption will reduce domestic investment, discourage foreign direct investment and also encouraging overspending of government. all those problem will led to development barrier since it will restrict the resources from the internal and external.


Social obstacles


1. Escapee

Escapee will result to social problem and social problem will be a barrier for a country to be develop.

e.g. Issues of escapee from Myanmar
Malaysia are facing an escapee problem. Malaysia need to provide a place for the Myanmar escapee (Rohingya) at Ampang. some of the escapee are committing a social problem such as burglar, robber and so on which led to negative effect towards Malaysia society. so, when we are facing those problem, it is hard for our country to be develop.

2. Multiracial societies

A multiracial country need to take care of sensitivity issues since it will effect the whole country. Multiracial society need to be unite to strengthen the relationship in order to develop our country with the help of the society.

e.g. Issues of ' azan Subuh'
this issues was being voice out by Theresa Kok. The issue had create an unsatisfied feel on Muslim society behalf. so, when Muslim and other societies could not unite and always feel unsatisfied, the country could not be develop since the society will not help and participate in their country development.

Karl Marx vs Ralf Dahreindorf

Karl Marx theory

1) Focus on production

For those who have lots of resources, they are able to control those who are lack of resources.
e.g. The issue of shortage of sugar. People will rely on the sugar producer to have the resources regardless of the price of the sugar.

2) Conflict happen between bourgeoisie and proletariat

Arise when two different class of society when one of the class have more resources than the other one. e.g. Conflict between America and Palestine. America have lots of resources on fire armed since they have lots of money to buy it while Palestine are suffering since they are lack of resources to fight back the America.

3) Conflict stop when society achieve communism stage

All society get the equal right on this stage. e.g. Government give aid to public in term of text book(SPBT) to all secondary & primary school regardless of races,religion & their status.

4) Fair but injustice

It might be equal & fair but not all can accept it. e.g. Government of Russia make a policy on compulsory for its youth to join national service for 2 years. It is fair since all youth are compulsory on it but not all are willing to join it.

Ralf Dahreindorf

1) Focus on authority

For those who have authority they are able to control others such as our government. e.g. Government produce rules & regulations on not to smoking at prohibited area such as school & hospital.

2) Conflict happen between the ruler and ruled

Arise when the ruler over broad of its authority. e.g. Ultra-vires case of Selayang Municipality. They give an order to the public to buy dustbin for beautification purpose. This is out of its authority to charge any fees to public.

3) Conflict stop when people start compromise with each other

The feedback and paritcipaption from citizen to the government shows people start compromise with the government. e.g. Local Authority keep aware of its citizen on hygiene aspect at their own housing area. Public ask for facilities from them for the hygiene aspect used and this show public start compromise with the government.

4) Fair and justice

It is fair and justice for all citizen since they have right to voice out their needs and opinion. e.g. General election shows all voters have their own right to choose their own representative.

Teacher's Note - Public Announcement

Dear students,

Hi and welcome back to class.

As I browsed your blog and read and commented on them, I noticed some common pattern of answer, 1) where you have the tendency to simplify your answer that sometimes I couldn’t find any relevancy to point discussed before it; 2) having so much unnecessary facts and details that making readers fell like reading a textbook.

Even though a blog entry should be short and simple, you don’t have to discount many of your words and make your argument everywhere. You don’t have to write an essay for that matter, but try to use concise word to articulate your point.

For those who love to back up their answer with all facts and data (as if we really want to know!), you too need to be concise and precise in choosing your words so that your entry doesn’t dazzled me … you know how much I hate to scroll the whole page just to find your main point at the end of your entry!

It is a waste when you come out with such a good point but having discussed it on the surface or lace it with unnecessary ‘ornament’ …

Try to be concise and precise and at the same time keep it short and simple.

On other words … briefly elaborate your point in detail – if you know what I mean.

Thank you and have a nice day!

Issue: child abuse

Child abuse is the physical, psychological or sexual maltreatment of children. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines child maltreatment as any act or series of acts or commission or omission by a parent or other caregiver that results in harm, potential for harm, or threat of harm to a child. Most child abuse happens in a child's home, with a smaller amount occurring in the organizations, schools or communities they interact with. There are four categories of child abuse: neglect, physical abuse, psychological or emotional abuse and sexual abuse.

Component of changes

1) Identity of changes

It refer to something that gives impact in social behavior.

From this issue, the identity of change are changes in emotion and behavior of children.The children will lost their confident, the emotion become unstable and cannot give full attention in their studies especially for the student. This become worse when the children cannot accept the effect of the abuse that done by their parent.It also can increasing the social problems among the children such as smoking, loafing, vandalism and so on since they afraid , and unhappy to stay at home.

2) Level of changes

It refer to level of people or group that affected by that situation.

in this case the level of changes referring to the youngster ( a month until 12 years old)

3)Duration of changes

Duration of the changes are long since this problem still cannot be solve. According to the statistic of child abuse cases by state and sex,2002 until 2006 sources from Department of Social Welfare, Malaysia, we can see the increasing number of cases in all state in 2002 which is 1242 cases and for 2006, 1999 cases. So, we can say that, this problem are always increase day by day and for your information, this abuse more to the girl.

statistic 2002-2006

4) Magnitude of changes

Our group classified that this case as incremental in term of magnitude changes since it always continuous until now. It can be seen in the statistic that we told just now like above. This is unplanned and quantitative changes.

5) Rate of changes

The rate of changes in this issue is continuous. It is because its still happen until today. So the government and parents itself should give more attention and awareness about these problems.

Variable of Changes

1) Conflict

The conflict can be seen in the person who have possibility in abusing child such as parents. For example when the parents have a lot of problems in the office and they cannot control their stress. So, their children become the victim from the under control actions.

2) Economic

In term of poverty, it is happen especially for the family who has economic problems. the burden that they carry as poor people become serious when their children cannot understand and accept it.For example, the parent become stress and then, make uncontrolled actions because they think their children give burden to them such as always request something that they unable to fulfill.

3) Structure strains

When there are too many conflict between parents, it make conflict arise and make changes in the structure of family itself such as divorced. So, this also become the another reason for abusing happen to children.

4) Which of those (social, economic and politic) should be given more emphasis right now and why?


In our opinion, we think that social should be given more emphasis by government right now. It is because, people is the one who will determine whether our country can be develop or not. As we can see now, lots of social problem occurred in our country such as drug addicts, mat rempit and so on and those problem is happening to our young generation. A young generation is our future leader to help increase the country development. If we don't have a quality young generation, how can we develop our country in the future? So, the government should think lots of alternative to ensure that our country could avoid and destroy all those problems. As an alternative, the government could provide a place for a young generation to generate their mind and in the same time can let them have fun. It is useless if we have lots of resources if we don't have a capable people to manage all the resources that we have.This is because, people is the one that will effect our country economic and also politic factor. The main point is that both side should play their role to help improve the development of the country. Our public should change their attitude to support our government and in the same time can improve ourself.
