Benefits of Laughter

Benefits of Laughter

Have you ever watched a comedy drama or movie and you laughed until you could hardly to breathe? Or have you ever laughed without any reason? Whatever the causes are, do you know what is the effect after you laugh? I’m sure that you are not aware what actually happens after you laugh.

Today I would like to talk about the benefits of laughter. Laughter is an expression or appearance of merriment or amusement that brings a lot of benefit to human being.

Every one of us had laugh in our life. However, in today’s society, we seem to have forgotten how to laugh. According to research, people used to laugh 18 minutes a day, but today we laugh not more than 6 minutes a day despite in the huge rise in the standard of living. People are working long hours with under pressure to move fast. Divorce and family break-ups are high. So, negative stress level are increasing constantly and lead laughter to decline. This has made bad news as laughter is an essential behaviour of a happy and joyful person whilst lack of laughter contributes to anxiety, depression and illness.

The Benefits of Laughter are:

Reduce the risk of Illness

Michael Miller, professor at University of Maryland Medical Center proposed a study that positive emotions specifically mirthful laughter; would cause favourable effects on the endothelial biology.Two groups of volunteers watched a television comedy and a mental stress movie respectively.35 % reduction in vasodilation showed by volunteers whose watched mental stress movie while 22% increase in vasodilation showed by the volunteers whose watched television comedy.When we laugh, our body will release endorphin which activate opiate receptor which produce nitric oxide that responsible for cardio protective cellular process that promote vasodilation and reduce vascular inflammation.

Improve Communicaton Skill

Laughter can develop our innate sense of humour, help us to find more laughter in our lives and thus change our perception of who we are for better.

Person who can make other people laugh can assume as someone with a good communication skill. We will more confident when we talk in front of others and this will help us in the future.

 If we laugh, it will infect other as well and this will make us feel comfortable with the surrounding and hence increase our communication skill and confident level. When we laugh it will strengthen the bond with the people around us as the result of having a good communication skill.

Laughter is a social signal; it is one of the communications ways. It disappear when there is no audience, which may be as small as one other person and it binds people together

Laughter is use as part of team building and to foster creativity and innovation in teams. Laughter connects people. People, who laugh together, work better together. This reduces sense of conflict since it hard to be in conflict with someone you are laughing with.

Lead to a Creative Thinking

Barbara Fredrickson, PHD, a psychologist of the University of North Carolina, came up with a theory: A positive state of mind-whether caused by humour, love or contentment broadens people’s thinking.

In an experiment, students were asked to watch the penguins and list up to 20 things they’d like to do at the moment. The people who had watched the goofy film thought of more things to do which indicate more flexible and creative thinking.

Laughter help us to think with way amusement stimulates the brain’s reward centre. To prove it, researcher put subject in MRI machine and showed them cartoons. When they get joke, a nucleus acumens a part of neural pathway that scientist call a reward circuit became active. This circuit pumps out dopamine, a brain-signalling chemical that stimulate the frontal lobe- the place where we do most of our mental heavy lifting.

In conclusion, the benefits of laughter are it can reduce the risk of illness, help to improve communication skill and lead to a creative thinking.I hope everyone is aware and clear about the benefits of laughter and not to forget to laugh as it is an important to us. Without laughter, human being will be very dull because without fun and we are exposing to disease as Madeleine Leangle quotes saying a good laugh heal a lot of hurts. Your simple laugh can have a big impact to your life.

Orang Asli Di Malaysia

ORANG ASLI IN MALAYSIA

Orang Asli (lit. "original people", "natural people" or "aboriginal people" in Malay) is a generic Malaysian term used officially for theindigenous people of Peninsular Malaysia. Officially, there are 18 Orang Asli tribes, categorised under three main groups according to their different languages and customs:

·         Semang (or Negrito), generally confined to the northern portion of the peninsula

·         Senoi, residing in the central region

·         Proto-Malay (or Aboriginal Malay), in the southern region.

There is an Orang Asli museum at Gombak, about 25 km north of Kuala Lumpur.

HISTORY
Orang Asli kept to themselves until the first traders from India arrived in the first millennium AD.^[2] Living in the interior they bartered inland products like resins, incense woods and feathers for salt, cloth and iron tools. The rise of the Malay sultanates, coinciding with trade in Orang Asli slaves, forced the group to retreat further inland to avoid contact with outsiders. The arrival of British colonists brought further inroads in the lives of Orang Asli. They were targeted by Christian missionaries and became subjects of anthropological research.

During the Malayan Emergency of 1948 to 1960, the Orang Asli became a vital component of national security, as their help enabled the Malayan army to defeat the communist insurgents. Two administrative initiatives were introduced to highlight the importance of Orang Asli, as well to protect their identity. The Department of Aborigines was established in 1950, and the Aboriginal Peoples Ordinance was enacted in 1954. After independence, development of the Orang Asli became a prime objective of the government, and in 1961 a policy was adopted to integrate the Orang Asli into the wider Malaysian society.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Malaysia experienced a period of sustained growth characterized by modernization, industrialization and land development, which resulted in encroachments on Orang Asli land. In response to this encroachment, the Orang Asli mobilized and formed the Peninsular Malaysia Orang Asli Association (POASM), which has given them a stronger voice and greater visibility. The Orang Asli are now known as "Orang Kita" ('our people') following the introduction of the "One Malaysia" concept by Najib Razak.

Total: 113,541‡
‡ Excluding those living in designated Orang Asli settlements which would amount to about 20,000 more people.

In 2000, the Orang Asli comprise only 0.5% of the total population in Malaysia. Their population is approximately 148,000.^] The largest group are the Senois, constituting about 54% of the total Orang Asli population. The Proto-Malays form 43%, and the Semang forming 3%.

The poverty rate among Orang Asli is 76.9%. In addition to this high rate, the Statistics Department of Malaysia has classified 35.2% of the population as being "hardcore poor". The majority of Orang Asli live in rural areas, while a minority have moved into urban areas. In 1991, the literacy rate for the Orang Asli was 43% compared to the national rate of 86% at that time. They have an average life expectancy of 53 years (52 for male and 54 for female). A high infant mortality rate is also evident with 51.7 deaths per 1000 births .

Lifestyle and religion

Orang Asli are traditionally animists, where they believe in the presence of spirits in various objects.^] However, in the 21st century, many of them have embraced monotheistic religions such as Islam and Christianity following some active state-sponsored dakwahby Muslims, and evangelism by Christian missionaries.

In June 2007, an Orang Asli church was allegedly torn down by the government in Gua Musang, Kelantan. As of 2008, a suit has been filed against the authorities. The affected Orang Asli also sought a declaration under Article 11 of the Constitution of Malaysiathat they have the right to practice the religion of their choice and to build their own prayer house.

Negritos of Peninsular Malaysia

Main article: Semang

According to the Encyclopedia of Malaysia, the Negritos, who number approximately 2,000, are regarded as the earliest inhabitants of the Malay Peninsula. They are of Australo-Melanesian affinity and probably descend from the people of Hoabinhian cultural period, with many of their burials found dating back 10,000 years ago. They speak the Aslian languages which is part of theAustroasiatic language family, as do their Senoi agriculturalist neighbours. Negritos belong to various subgroups, namely the Kensiu, Kintak, Lanoh, Jahai, Mendriq and Bateq. Those from Perak, Kedah and Pahang are also known as Sakai, the meaning of "Sakai" is debt slaves, while those from Kelantan and Terengganu were called Pangan, the forest peoples. The Senoi and Proto-Malay arrived much later probably during the Neolithic period.

Social and legal status

The government agency entrusted to oversee the affairs of the Orang Asli is the Jabatan Hal Ehwal Orang Asli (Department of Orang Asli Affairs) (JHEOA). This body is under the Malaysian Ministry of Rural Development, and it was first set up in 1954. Among its stated objectives are to eradicate poverty among the Orang Asli, improving their health, promoting education, and improving their general livelihood. There is a high incidence of poverty among the Orang Asli. In 1997, 80% of all Orang Asli lived below the poverty line. This ratio is extremely high compared to the national poverty rate of 8.5% at that time.

Some legislations which concerns Orang Asli are the National Land Code 1965, Land Conservation Act 1960, Protection of Wildlife Act 1972, National Parks Act 1980, and most importantly the Aboriginal Peoples Act 1954. The Aboriginal Peoples Act 1954 provides for the setting up and establishment of the Orang Asli Reserve Land. However, the Act also includes the power accorded to the Director-General of the JHEOA to order Orang Asli out of such reserved land at its discretion, and award compensation to affected people, also at its discretion. A landmark case on this matter is in the 2002 case of Sagong bin Tasi & Ors v Kerajaan Negeri Selangor. The case was concerned with the state using its powers conferred under the 1954 Act to evict Orang Asli from gazetted Orang Asli Reserve Land. The High Court ruled in favour of Sagong Tasi, who represented the Orang Asli, and this decision was upheld by the Court of Appeal.

The Orang Asli are classified as Bumiputras,^] a status signifying indigenity to Malaysia which carries certain social, economic, and political rights, along with the Malays and the natives of Sabah and Sarawak. However, this status is generally not mentioned in the constitution.

The former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dr. Mahathir Mohamad made controversial remarks regarding the Orang Asli, saying that Orang Asli were not entitled more rights than Malays even though they were natives to the land, he posted on his blog comparing the Orang Asli in Malaysia to Native Americans in the US, Maoris in New Zealand, and Aboriginals in Australia. He was criticized by spokespeople and advocates for the Orang Asli who said that the Orang Asli desired to be recognized as the natives of Malaysia and that his statement would expose their land to businessmen and loggers.
