Do Ibans step to the world of modernity?
This question accidentally bumped into my head when I searched and read a blog which is located in www.uchukeling.com.weblog Generally, the impression of modernity does not only refer to the way we are dressing up, eating and memorizing the recipe of making a muffin or changing your set of choices from having “perkasam”-those who like it to “ apple pie cake” and say goodbye and u are not buying a return ticket in order to get back to ur previous menu, having a cuppa, mellow sandwich with tuna PLUS a spanking new ROSE on YOUR bed with ur antic tray- the common traits for those who are “JUST marriage…..This state of affair can be seen when u “put and paste” ur style until it match with those actors in an eminent drama series -Smallville? The more it in the track with the rhythm of western, the more Englishperson you will be. For me all the above features are the need of nowadays and they are not totally about the sense of social changing…Modernity can be classified as the sense of social changing and this concept can be refer to a situation where any changing is a MUST and needed coz we want to change human’s traits to from a DARK screen to a BRIGHT and and NICELY screen..Why am I using the word “screen”? yeah..this might make u be more assiduous and dizzy coz u might think that the word does not make sense to what I am trying to say…Here, screen is a place or situation where it is controlled by us and not by the nature. Besides, all the actors in the screen are also paid based on their performance in the screen. I say so because, in the screen , we are creating the policies and rules in order to maintain and bolster ur quality of life and we are satisfied via the policies and system we have made- if we are following the system so we will be fine and OK but if we are not, so we have to prepare a next plan in order to cope with turnaround events. However, the concept of modernity is more rooted in our mind-set and consequently rational thinking ..These two aspects help u much in order to be more established and realize that the world is not ROUND instead of imagining the silhouette of ur glob is OBLONG….so these two mechanics expand or rejuvenate our old brand and this make us form NOBODY to SOMEBODY…..This can be achieved by recalling back to what or our accentors have created for us so as to be abnormal person rather than a normal and flat person. Here I have found one of relics which is the main pillar and also the most important in Iban’s culture, social, psychological tenets. It is about the system of Iban’s writing system and this research is carried out by Dr. Bromely Philip from UITM Sarawak. It is so hard to comprehend and archaic. Can u just imagine how our assertors ( what ever system of writing do we have coz for sure in the past they are hardly similar to out Time New Roman) memorize various of symbols which represent different meaning during an epoch of DARK SCREEN? Can u imagine how many spaces does rain need to have at that time as the brain have to prepare 4 departments (in term of syntax, semantic, phonology and phonetic) only for a word. Have a look then I will get back to u later on…till then …adios amigos Barbados
