Better Single Than Sorry.

Assignment or announcement?

Assignment

Siti Rahmah has informed you about our assignment today. I hope you can do the task within the two hours.

Read the following Book Review and then discuss what you think about the topic. This can be done individually if you want.

Better Single Than Sorry

Better Single Than Sorry A frank, insightful and entertaining book by a glamorous US TV star about how there is more to life than being in a relationship for the sake of it, and how to be happy even if you are single.

'It's time for women to start telling the world - and each other - why it's better to be single than sorry. Yes, it's great to have a boyfriend or a husband, and I'm not suggesting women give up the idea of happily ever after, but I don't believe in settling... The truth is, we know what we're looking for and we must never sell ourselves short.'

Life can be fabulous on your own - the antidote to dating books!

BETTER SINGLE THAN SORRY has a simple, refreshing and powerful message. It's far better to be single than to end up with someone who doesn't make you happy just because you want to be in a couple, feel pressured by society / your friends / your mother, or you want to get married or have kids. She's all for compromising and being realistic, but she encourages women not to settle for the sake of it.

Chapters include:
* Being Single is Not a Curse
* It Takes Guts to be On your Own
* Don't Play Hard to Get - Be Hard to Get
* 50 Reasons Why it's Great to be Single
* But All My Friends are Married...
* Stop Believing You Can't do Better
* Throw Away the Picture of your Ideal Man
* Don't Talk yourself into Liking a Guy
* Basic Instinct - Trust Yours
* What you Want Versus what you Need

Some information on the author of the book.

Jennifer Schefft is well known in the US as the glamorous girl who turned down not one but two opportunities to get hitched to the seemingly 'perfect' man live on TV (The Bachelor and The Bachelorette) and caused massive controversy. Glamorous and refreshing, she has appeared on countless TV shows including Oprah, Good Morning America and the Ellen DeGeneres Show and has graced the covers and pages of People magazine and many others publications.

The topic can be really sensitive. I hope you can be really critical and able to support your ideas and opinions.

Deadline for this discussion for Group 5 is today, 29th December 2009 by 5 P.M.

I will be checking! :)

Single is better than sorry...

I think it all depends on the type of person you are and how you look at things.

I think it depends mainly on who you are and what your characteristics define you as being.

For u information,i truely agreed that being single is the best.

1)First of all,it can make ourselves
more independent.

2)By the way,being single can make ourselves much comfortable.Be yourself,Don’t be something you’re not.We can stand in our own feet.

People will respect you a lot better for being honest and not something pretend.

3)In addition,if we're single,we can do better in all thing that we do without listening to others perspective and making such a nonsense decision.


Being single is not a curse and it is great to be single.

BETTER SINGLE THAN SORRY

We think that this is an interesting topic to discuss.Women nowadays prefer to be single because they want more freedom and privacy.They think that if they married they will have little freedom and privacy.This is because they have to share everything with their partners.They also have to get permissions form their husbands in doing everything they want.

we prefer to be single for the time being as we think that being single is the best way to :

- focus on study (no need to think about unnecessary thing such as our partner's problem)

- get freedom and privacy (can escape from any fetters)

- prevent ourself from making sins (couple in Islam is forbidden)

being single is sucks!
i disagree with jennifer's perception..

1st reason y being single is sucks is because u're going to die soon. i hate 2 say that you single folks are all alone in this world, with nobody 2 rely on but yourself ...
since you can't even rely on yourself, really.
See, even your body hates you for being single.Opinions vary on y single people r more likely to get sick and die. Some think it's because marriage offers moral support to get through the tough times. Others think it's just that a spouse is more likely to nag u into going to the doctor. Of course those r things you can counteract without getting married.
But that won't change the fact that married people have a better immune systems than you. They don't have to be happily married. Even divorced people are better at fighting off illness. It's like marriage is an all purpose vaccination that never wears off.

guys do agree with me???

to me, single men were viewed as being stupid and dishonest, and single women were more likely to be harassed or treated badly at restaurants.is it true?? In addition, time spent as a single is a lot like time spent in the bathroom. It's the most natural thing in the world, until you're there just a moment too long. But once you hit that point, there's no turning back. People start to wonder what's wrong with you. Gross images start popping into their heads. The next time they see you, you might smell a little funny to them. But hey, look on the bright side, at least nothing's actually wrong with you, right?

better single than sorry
we totally agreed with this topic

1)can have a better life

-can focus more on something that is important
do not have to burden mind with ways to solve problems with our partner

2)can do whatever we want
full freedom

-when someone has partner in their life everything that they do, must think about their partner first
they should report or let their partner know where they have been and with whom they go out

3)can save our time

-we can focus more on our work
we do not have to remind our selves to pick up the phone
do not have to find time to go out with our date

to live in couple life we need honesty and trustworthy
if not you might fail in your relationship

Here's my idea..

I agree with my partner Mr.Kajang..
We are a great partner..

I want to ask u guys up there..
Why did ALLAH created Adam AND Hawa..and not HAWA or ADAM alone?

God created everything in pairs..
Moon with stars..
Earth with sky..
Night and day..
And..husband and wife..=D

You are lying if you say you don't dream about a happy family..

Even in the hadith our prophet said..

If you are considering Jennifer's opinion..you are accepting an idea from a person that has no islamic knowledge..

These western culture has been heavily infected by a sinfull attitude and opinion..

Tell me one islamic schoolar that opposes the happiness of a married couple?

Therefore,we should not use our logical thinking and little knowledge to oppose GOD'S will..

Rahmah, don't get too excited and yes, I am not feeling well.

To all, What Jennifer Schefft defines being single as being not married. Most of you interpreted being single as in for now as you are studying. How about being single for the rest of your life? Schefft is stating that women are often hurt in relationship therefore, it is better for them to stay single than to be married and hurt one day.

Wani, in what way that women are appreciating themselves if they choose to be single forever?

Mr. X, there shouldn't be a Mr. X. You have to tell us who you are and give us your opinions.

Rahmah, again. Do you want to be single forever or you meant to remain single for now?

Wanoraqila, is is Haram to have a boyfriend or girlfriend as long as you do not succumb to doing things that Islam does not allow us to do?

Wanabila, I think you and Wanoraqila are focusing on coupling in general.

Mamu, I don't want to talk to you. But I like your points. I hope you are referring to being single for forever and not being single for the time being.

Khairi, too bad that your H key is broken. I understand your predicament. Don't worry. You will not be penalized for having broken H key.:)

Hey... who said no woman no cry??? Nonsense!

Nurul Husna and Nuranati, yes, most young and professional females prefer to stay single because they love the freedom and privacy. But, can we prove this? Has any studies been done to really identify the reason/s for women to remain single?

i agree with mullah opinions,
frist of all if wee not married who going too continue our generations from extinct.second, if we not married where do we want to put our sex disire? this will lead to sex that not illegal,third you will fell lonely if not get married.even though you can find alot of friends, but not all friends are true friends and not all friends loyal with us when we on desperate.if you talk about to focus on what we want to achive until not get married it riddiculos,even you married you can actually if you cleaver in control your fellings and you time table.Example, how does today's women can achieve their ambitions even tough they have married and still pursuit to their career or ambitions and yet succeed to attain it?.Another thing how long do you want to live alone only because you want to enjoy your life? do you want to enjoy being alone until you become old? belive me you will regret.becaose you will not have chance to fell what like become mother and have children situations.i areed that having husband and kids make you lives more trouble,but wasn't trouble makes you live more meaningful?thinks about it...

Mamu, stop teasing Kairi as he has broken H.

Anonymous.... we need to know who you are! It can be interpreted either way.

Wanabila, for how long can women rely on friends and parents to get support. One more question, what kind of support?

Kairi (for today, your name has no H), why is Mullah still sleeping? Wake him up please.

Husna, I agree with you. That is why, I think, when people got married, it is better for the couple not to involve parents when they have problems. In other words, don't you think it is better not to start a family of your own at all?

Liyana and Ayuni, you have very modern kind of thinking. We live in a society where we cannot escape from socializing with other people. In socializing, we also cannot escape from getting hurt and hurting others. It is a tough world indeed.

Anonymous, we can't say that Jennifer is a gay person. She could be straight. Leftover?

Zubeir, do you think if one day, you decide to get married, your life will complicated?

Ummi, let answer that. It applies to both men and women.

Liyana and Ayuni, I like the idea of being single makes you more independent and confident. But how can that be realized?

Nabila, true that it is better to be single now for you people who are still studying. How about for the rest of your life as suggested by the author?

Athiraqila, yes, good that you guys are thinking more on studying than other things in life.

To Jennifer(the author above)...

I'll commen on her topics and prove that her view is not islamic at all and is dangerous for us to believe in..

Don't Play Hard to Get - Be Hard to Get..
-This is not true..I think what she is trying to say is like "jual mahl" in BM..
-do you have to reject a sincere heart that wants to care for you in the name of ALLAH?

Basic Instinct - Trust Yours
-this girl is trying to be independent..Yes,it's good..but you cannot survive on your own all the time..Even woman need a man when they have a flat tyre..True right?

50 Reasons Why it's Great to be Single

-I know some of these reasons!
1)You can go clubbing every night!
2)You can have sex with whomever you want!
3)You can make your own silly decision without other people who care about you givving advice
-these reasons are for non-muslim thinker..
-Has she heard of a million reason Why it's great to be a happy family?..Including the possibility of going to heaven if you treat each other well?

Don't believe in an opinion if you don't have evidence to support it from your own beloved religion..

We are not agree to be single..Even in Islam, marriage is so important as it is declared to be one half of one’s faith.This can be proved by this "hadis":
A person who posses the means to marry (i.e. he is able to work etc. to support a wife and children) and does not marry then he is not from amongst us (i.e. the believers).’Another one: ‘Do not delay in three things; 1) The offering of the obligatory prayer. 2) The offering of the funeral prayer when the deceased’s body is present . 3) The marriage of a woman when her couple is found’

RAHMAh, good that you want to get married when the time comes. But are you sure you want to share your life with someone else?

Ican, you can do this on your own if you want.

Ummi, you agreed with Mamu? What about being married and having problems with your spouse? Isn't that the same?

Mullah, finally you have woken up. Anyways, you have done some research on the topic. Good! That shows that you were not sleeping. You were researching. We should discuss this in class later.

Kairi, again, some of my friends who are still single said they have different kind of stress for not being married.

Nabila, focus on what is more important in life which is to make the world a better place for all!

husna and Zalikha, I like the idea on you can do what ever we want without anyone's permission. I have heard that even if you are single, as a muslim woman, you still have to get permission from your parents.

Mullah, what do you mean? I like the metaphor you used. It is true that when you talk about male friends who are in their 40's and still not married, we will wonder whether there is something wrong with them.

Ican and Mr. kajang... a different opinion. From the Islamic perspective.However, you are only focusing on wife serving the husband, and wife being good will be rewarded by Allah. How about men serving their wives and being good to their wives. Why is the focus given to women only, dearest students of mine?

Faizah and Wani.. a good question to be addressed to Mr. Kajang and Ican.

Wan and Rahmah, suddenly you guys are partners?

Ummi, your opinion, Love yourself and never settle. Do you really believe in that?

Ican, I have to disagree with one thing that you said in your comment. Western Culture has not been infected with sinful attitude and behavior. Accepting Jennifer's point of view does not make your friends less Islamic. Muslims are required to think for themselves. When Allah asks us to read, He does not ask us to read on the surface only. He wants us to think for ourselves too. Some muslims are able to live their lives doing good things for others even though they are not married. We are not opposing to the idea of believing marriage as a failed institution that oppresses women. We are just exploring ideas from different perspectives.

Zaini and Zubeir, you two have some strong argument. Without the institution of marriage, muslims are not allowed to procreate. Therefore, marriage is needed to build future generations. I also like your mature opinion, troubles make our lives more meaningful. Very philosophical. Would you like to change field of study? Philosophy maybe?

Ummi, now you are being more positive. being married can minimize social problems, eliminate vice among muslims. However, do not forget that domestic violence happen among married couples.

Ican and Mr Kajang, good that you are being critical about the author. I can change my own flat tyre.Everyone is entitled to have his or her own opinion. Do not be too judgemental.

Husna, point taken.

Qilah, Nazatul and Wahidah, I do believe that all of you girls are going to make good wives one day. So will Rahmah and the others who agreed with the topic.

Rahmah, Bravo!

Mr. Kajang and Ican, what is there not to be understood. They made it clear. Marriage is required in Islam.

Faizah and Wani, yes, true. Not everyone will find a partner in his or her life. Some are born to be single.

well guys, there's a lot to love about being single. You save money on Valentine's Day gifts, you get to meet new and interesting people and sometimes you even get to have s*x with them.
But it's not all knocking boots and freedom.
There are some aspects of single life that might, in fact, be seen as less than desirable....

Time's Up. I am glad we have this meaningful discussion. I love it when my students are critical. We might or might not discuss this in class. For the girls, it is too soon actually to decide not to get married one day. Jennifer is representing women or men who at least once hurt by the one they loved. These people who hurt before have different opinion because they are talking from their own perspectives. People who have never been there before would say being married is better because of the factors that some of you successfully have included in the discussion. I think if everyone believe that people matter, everyone will not hurt other people. Only then we all can live either with families or not. If only people stop hurting each other, all of us can live happily on this earth and we all can perform our ibadah in whatever forms. Do you agree with me?

Thank you so much for being such great people!!!!

sorry 4 being late madam..

to mr kajang n ican...

*secure
we disagree 2 b single because if being single, u don't hv anybody 2 care at u anywhere u go..if u hv a husband,they can guide u n b ur body guard if u wanna go out 4 any purpose...at least, we can handle scary situation with someone, if u wanna futher ur study, ur husband r there 4 u to b with u, thus u'll feel safer than being alone...

*financial
apparently you pay more living costs as a single person than you would in a relationship,n u get less money to pay taxes as taxes r count by one house as one person.besides,we can use two income rather than just one income to survive as sharing is caring,caring is loving.

*social
in social aspect, we'll feel left out, bored and awkward when hanging out with couples. besides we can reduce the tendency to being disturbed by any guys out there cause we have our husband to protect us. in addition, we can prohibit ourselves from doing "maksiat" or free social life style..
