We've watched the video of Jim Jones and Jonestwon tragedy. I agreed with what Aled said that, the same tragedy is happening everyday but it's just that no one sees it. There are many people in the society are committing suicide everyday because they want to escape from societal pressure or the captivity that we are talking about in Ishmael. No one tells those people to commit suicide. It's their will that made them commit suicide.

I want to post one of the reflection that I wrote for our Ishmael assignment:
I want expand my thoughts on the part where Ishmael said that our creation process is a myth. I cannot understand how can scientific proofs are also mythical. In a way,I think Ishmael is contradicting himself. Ishmael belongs to the group of people who look at this world differently and pose questions all the time(I'll use Leaver for this group of people). And yet, Ishmael is saying that, the scientific proofs, which are the product of the Leavers, are purely myths. He is contradicting himself on the fact the he belongs to the Leaver but he thinks the products of the Leavers are all myths.
I wonder how other people in our class think? If they also think that Ishmael is contradicting himself, disagree or agree with the idea that even scientifically proven facts are also myths...?
