SUS PORTFOLIO 2023 FIRST SEMESTER
Back at the Crossroads!
1. (YOU MUST WRITE NOTES ON THIS QUESTION) "The wealth of the few depends upon the poverty
of many." My personal opinion on this statement is most closely described by:
a. So long as I am amongst the few I don't care
b. This is just not true – the rich are simply more “diligent, intelligent, and above all frugal”.
c. This is just not true – if it were not for the generous wealthy, the poor would be even poorer
than they are.
d. This is absolutely true – there is only so much wealth in the world at any one moment so if
one person has more than their share someone else has to have less than their share.
e. This is absolutely true and given how much poverty there is we ought to do something
about it.
Choice now: A
Choice in assignment 1: C
Notes: I changed my choice from choice c in the assignment 1 to A. so long as I am amongst the few I
don’t care, because today we are living in a world where each person is focused on building and
accumulate wealth as much as he/she can in a given space. People have adopted a style of not helping
other people to be wealthy at the same time as them because they had witnessed the situation in which
people were ready to help but at the end, they are sabotaged in their way of getting wealth by those
that were trying to help. So, I don’t care as long as I focus on getting the wealth that I want and working
hard to get.
2. (YOU MUST WRITE NOTES ON THIS QUESTION) "Save the rhino!!" My personal opinion on this
statement is most closely described by:
a. Who cares?
b. Let the people who want to use this resource pay to protect it.
c. We have bigger problems than worrying about rhinos.
d. We must save the rhinos for our children.
e. We must save the rhinos because it is the right thing to do.
Choice now: D
, Choice in assignment 1: D
Notes: I did not change my choice in my assignment one because I still feel the same way and see things
the same way. We must save the Rhinos for our children so that they can know rhinos by seeing it and
learn about rhinos. Rhinos are one of the species that people are targeting because of their precious
horns that people sell for large amount of money, so we have to save them from the punchers so that
our children can know them not like what we hear about dragon species that we only learn about it
from the books, television, movies and stories but we have never see them because they became
extinction so early before we were born. We must save them because when they are safe, our children
can always have access to them, and it will be easy for them to do their assignment about animal as they
will have full understanding of that animal is and how it behaves.
3. (YOU MUST WRITE NOTES ON THIS QUESTION) “In order to have the continued opportunity to
express their ‘generosity,’ the oppressors must perpetuate injustice as well.” (Paulo Freire) My
personal opinion on this statement is most closely described by:
a. This is crazy ‘commie’ nonsense from Freire – it’s a disgrace that Unisa allows this rubbish to
appear in its official study material.
b. This is rubbish - if it were not for the essential goodness of the wealthy, the lives of the poor
would be so much worse than they already are.
c. So let me get this straight – Freire is saying that in order for some to continue being
generous (like Bill Gates), wealth AND poverty need to be sustained? I’m going to have to
think about this.
d. Freire is absolutely right - all this ‘generosity’ just makes rich people look like the heroes
when actually they are the villains.
e. How can you possibly say something as ungrateful as option d?
Choice now: B
Choice in assignment 1: D
Notes: my choice changed from choice D to B because I have gained a new insight of things trough out
the journey of this module as there were discussion assignment. It is indeed rubbish because if was
not for the essential goodness of the wealthy the lives of the poor would be so much than they
already are. Around the world we hear and see that most people who are helping the poor are those
people who are rich, this evidence we have seen it trough the social media platforms. In our they are
many independent businessmen who are providing food and building houses for those who are poor
and can not afford those basic needs. In other situation some they even to take the children who are
coming from poor families to higher education institutions and pay for all the expenses including the
pocket money for the students.
