- Oscar Wilde

Global Harmony
Since a long time Ive been wondering why do we always stick political issues on religions? Why do we always say Jews and not Israelis? Why do we say Christians and not capitalists? The time has come for us to realize that its our fault not that of religions. Religions have nothing to do with all those political conflicts between people from different cultural backgrounds. So, here again religious diversity itself has been pointed out as a problem; this is why a lot of worlds leaders tried to find solutions to solve it. Religion for most of us is an essential part of ones identity; it can be compared to a pillar that keeps a building from falling down. It is what makes a human group specifically unique and different from any other human group. Civilizations were built through the basis of those cultural belongings: religion, language, and raceetc. In todays world, media plays an important role in reflecting religions. Islam for instance is often depicted by so many newspapers and TV channels as a religion of obscurantism and carnage, a religion of no liberty. On the other hand it is indisputable that Muslims dont see Islam in the way media tend to describe it. Therefore, media is often blamed for making worlds truths and events unintelligible for people. It not only misguides people but it also creates fears and shapes lack of trust and respect between people from different religious backgrounds. Islamic history proved the existence of specific architecture of Islamic buildings, Islamic literature and calligraphy, but not violence being committed for the sake of religion. Islam as well as any other religion is compatible with freedom, democracy and humans rights, so why are so many bloodsheds and acts of violence labeled under the theme religion? Globalization is a phenomenon that is happening at high rate today. Indeed its overwhelming cultures world over. Muslim culture for example feels overwhelmed as well as marginalized by the fast changes occurring around it. Put aside the modernity of Western World, the remainder of the world feels an increasing frustration that often leads its men to the worst extremities. Within few decades, men have realized technological achievements of modernity that were not to be achieved in less than centuries at the time of our ancestors. Some of the main features of these accelerated developments lie in the new absence of borders between countries. Communicating is global, a quantity of information flows in the most rapid and easy way possible from one part of the world to another. Ways of living are being unified, people are accessing to media and an increasing amount of information. This unity of living often leads some people to the need of expressing their individualism and uniqueness as a way of fighting an overwhelming and fast unification that threatens their cultures and religious backgrounds. For; every step toward Western modernity means a denial of their identity and cultural history.

The marginalization they feel to be victims of, by a strong Western world that goes without caring about differences of cultures, make them embrace the worst ways of expressing their identity, such as public attacks. Today, with the coexistence of several religions and cultures, so people with different believes can either enter an irreversible Western modernity, making it take the greatest part of their identity, and thus occult the richness of their original cultures. Or they can either turn their back on modernity. Either ways, will undoubtedly lead to an impoverishment of the richness of global human cultures. The reason why there should not be any implied condition to access modernity and global well-being. Cultural diversity is a priceless gift for humanity, this principle is applied to religions. For they should be preserved via cultural exchange, for instance Arabs had invented the astrolabe and western world improved it later; this is a form of cultural exchange that took part to a continual interaction between people with different religious and cultural beliefs. Cultural exchange is more likely to protect that interaction in todays world than ever before. It will enhance the values of all religions; those of respect, forgiveness, tolerance and love. And thus bring believers and non-believers to one prospective future that will both unify them and preserve their differences peacefully. This intercultural dialogue is likely to settle the upheaval of violence as well as cultural conflicts that are destroying peoples history and keeping them from moving toward a global harmony. A global harmony that will respect and protect peoples differences and uniqueness. A global harmony that will both embrace globalization and protect individual specificity and diversity. This interfaith dialogue requires that people admit that their faiths dont hold all the truth, but rather that a part of truth exists in every single belief. In other terms, no one can be completely right or completely wrong. We are to complete each other in order to achieve a global tolerance that will lead humanity to a sustainable harmony. A renewal of our view toward our fellows is necessary for such a dialogue to be successful, via a borderless acceptance of differences and a global respect of human rights. Intercultural dialogue is to be achieved via travelling, meeting people, learning about cultures and seeking knowledge without having prior made-up ideas or clichs . Indeed a borderless dialogue that protects diversity of people and their history will overcome the clichs and erase them, allowing people to be conscious of their fellows and learn from their neighbors world over. Everybody should take part to building this consciousness of the self and the other in the prospect of creating a world where mutual understanding will lead our choices and actions for a better tomorrow.

Is it a democracy or a civil war?!

Last year many events happened to take a place in the Arabs world .those events changed the face of the Arabic countries forever..Some of people think..or lets say the majority think that these changed it for the best means people found what they were looking for which is something called Democracy and some whom are a minority of course, are saying that things changed it for the worst which means in one word A MESS.well, this is not the case for all the countriesand the way we are dealing with this issue as a part from the Arabic countries ill say that..Some places really needed a change but the rest were just imitating. Hearing the word democracy from some people they dont know even how to read, write, screaming with the name of their enemy to come and rescue them from their miserable life!!!!!!!is kind of showing the western world, how fool they are, and that they sold themselves and their souls for a cheap price under the title of The Democracy. I never knew that Democracy face it the word A civil war in the dictionary well at least in my dictionary .most of you dont know what Im talking about! .Well I m talking about the civil wars in Libya , Syria, Yemen ,..and others where the intention is not rise by the PRESS..YET!!!!that and from my point of view should take a large responsibility about whats happening nowadays and in the future ( I hope not) in some places in the Middle East that disease which they call it THE ARABS SPRING!!! Thus, if trying so hard to convince people that they are peaceful while theyre not. Killing, stealing countrys natural resources, torturing men, women and kids, destroying a whole country and making people homeless!!!!!...is Democracy????....therefore, IM AGAINST IT.

You really want to know what our problems? Why we protest, love in, sit down, get high, rave or simply misbehave? .You ask what we are really protesting about is a silly question_ it deserves and often gets the reply: what is everyone else complacent about? The pressing question I should have thought, is not what, what now? For there are many reasons for protest as there are protesters.I see you are all looking for universal causes of our frustration or dissatisfaction .but the universal answers turn out to be universally unconstructive .the permissive society gets the blame but no one knows precisely who where or what it is .the generation gap is invoked .but those who believe in its existence also seem to believe in its inevitability ; if not its necessity in the order of things .I think it exists to give the middle aged something to protest about every specialist has got specialized answers .when we march , politicians march with us .when we smoke pot ,the doctors study us .When we drop out ,the sociologists cluster round us their views, am sure ,are to be respected. But they are speaking about us? Not for us.There is a gap that Im aware of, but its not so big you may scarcely see. Its an ideological gap, which means you and I will use different words for the same thing. We will adopt different priorities for the same problem and make different interpretations for the same situations; above all .we will come up with different answers to the same questions.I dont see there is a hope in hell of your seeing is it our way? Id rather you didnt try, as a matter of fact, because if there is one thing worse than censure, its ignorant admiration and weve had enough of that heaped on us this year.i suppose of all prejudices, age-prejudice is one of the most crippling, matching disillusion with idealism, experience against enthusiasm, it makes so few distinctions, equates protest with delinquency, drop-outs with failure. it obscures the fact that everywhere the protest are continuing, articulate, organized and educated, and we no longer feel hopelessly determined by history .it ignores the fact that every drop-out (your catch phase, I think, not ours) is in fact societys failure .that each one of them is concerned with the quality of life, which the stay-ins are in no position to come to terms with active or passive, though, we arent deliberately trying to make things insufferable for society. We are simply trying to be a constant reminder, that society is insufferable. Miss Kahlerras

SOME COMMON ERRORS IN ENGLISH

COUPLE/COUPLE OF Instead of she went with a couple sleazy guys before she met me, write a couple of guys if you are trying to sound a bit more formal. Leaving the of out is a casual, slangy pattern CUT AND DRY/CUT AND DRIED Many people mishear the standard expression meaning set, not open to change, as cut and dry. Although this form is listed in the Oxford English Dictionary, it is definitely less common in sophisticated writing. The dominant modern usage is cut and dried. When used to modify a noun, it must be hyphenated: cut-and-dried plan. DEMOCRAT PARTY/DEMOCRATIC PARTY Certain Republican members of Congress have played the childish game in recent years of referring to the opposition as the Democrat Party, hoping to imply that Democrats are not truely democratic. They succeed only in making themselves sound ignorant, and so will you if you imitate it DENIED OF/DENIED If you are deprived of your rights you are denied them; but thats no reason to confuse these two expressions with each other. You cant be denied of anything. DEPENDS/DEPENDS ON In casual speech, we say it depends who plays the best defense; but in writing follow depends with on. AM/PM AM stands for the Latin phrase Ante Meridiem--which means before noon--and PM stands for Post Meridiem: after noon. Although digital clocks routinely label noon 12:00 PM you should avoid this expression not only because it is incorrect, but because many people will imagine you are talking about midnight instead. The same goes for 12:00 AM. Just say or write noon or midnight when you mean those precise times. It is now rare to see periods placed after these abbreviations: A.M., but in formal writing it is still preferable to capitalize them, though the lowercase am and pm are now so popular . ALL AND ALL/ALL IN ALL The dog got into the fried chicken, we forgot the sunscreen, and the kids starting whining at the end, but all in all the picnic was a success. All in all is a traditional phrase which can mean all things considered, after all, or nevertheless. People unfamiliar with the traditional wording often change it to all and all, but this is nonstandard. Miss Kahlerras

They say , Love is all you need. Who is this they? Who are these people who are quoted so often that their quotes acquire the status of proverbs? They are people like us who, having fallen in love, could not help putting their feelings in words. Given below are a few such axioms and proverbs on the subject of love. Love is a powerful emotion that can build or destroy civilizations. It can sweep rational thought out of our mind. Love, like other emotions, changes over time. First love is heady passion. Young love is about admiration and friendship. As years roll by, love develops into a secure emotional bond. Love. The pulse of life. The emotion that encapsulates all that is beautiful. Love is the essence of a relationship. Read along and enjoy the comforting emotion called love. It is amazing how this single emotion has woven itself so intricately into the fabric of our existence. so my friends , my question for you is : Have you ever felt in Love? if yes , tell us your story. if it is no , well you should hurry up , its true Love hurts but its worth it :) .

When I smiled at the sun, its beams burnt me I sang to the bird, But the bird didnt hear me I tried to embrace the rose, Its leaves strangled me I stared at the stars, they couldnt see me I loved the butterfly, It flew away for it hated me When I wanted to caress the breeze, Wind struck me Are they so wicked ? Or is wickdness in me
To the students of English Department be one ,be steady

Trust your selves and just do the right thing the way you feel it and move on for you and for all your department mates. all the best for you Miss Kahlerras

A PIECE OF MIND : THE POWER OF WORDS

WORDS...this magical combination of tiny bold letters, how powerful they are when used in a logical sense! a man can be a dreamer, but unless he applies these dreams on solid ground, they are to become nothing but a bunch of unatainable fantasies. they say a picture is worth a thousand words ,well i say : a single word is worth a thousand thoughts. you can spend your whole life thinking and reflecting, but none of it could be appreciated if you dont spell it out to the world! As a matter of fact, our whole body language contains a series of gestural performed words; a tear is a word , a smile is a word, a look is a word, a touch is a word ..this intentionally forgotten human power, can be the key to unlocking millions of life-saving secrets. a simple word can contain extraodinary healing powers to many suffering human souls. just like painting and dancing,communication is another form of art , its a shortcut towards mutual understanding , through communication only , can we solve wolrdwide issues , and save gallons of blooddshed. a man who masters the art of communication is a man who never experienced failure in his social life. why guessing when we can get assertive answers?! why wondering when we can obtain convincing responses?! we should never underestimate the supermassive value of words, nor use it as a weapon to blackmail others. a simple word can overturn the most sensitive situations and solve the most complicated problems, a single word can bright somebodys day , as it can darken anothers ...in short words can make wonders! together we can tumble down the walls of silence , to express ourselves freely ,and never feel intimidated to show the whole world who we really are.

Where are we going ..?!!!In realityWe will go forever, one day, carrying nothing with us except high qualities. . Nowadays What is more regrettable is the fact that hypocrisy, vulgarity, oppression and injustice together form new fashion for modern life. The real power, however, is pretence whereas humanity, modesty, patience, generosity and kindness are nothing more than weakness, but not absolutely because as there is who possesses them; there is, as well, who deserves and appreciates them...

Why are we complicating it while its too simple?!they?!

Ambition, hope, desire, wish and dream are highly existent inside everyone, they somehow move into elliptical space created between the will, on one side, and the achievement, on the other. Therefore, the achievement can merely be obtained on the strength of will, but the latter might be powered on the strength of what exactly? The mindAs the only part of a human being that makes him distinguished from any other living being. The personality As the main part of a person that makes him different from any other one. The reasoning As the power that makes a persons personality distinctive from any other ones. The way of thinkingAs the essential fact that makes any individuals reasoning differs from another ones. The self-confidenceAs an inner feeling, or feature, that is built on the basis of strong personality. The insistenceAs the impulse that is grown up from a great self-confidence. With their role, no doubt that the above-mentioned parts complete each other in qualifying, with Gods help of course, a person to accomplish their high dream as everyones aim for a better life. Take it!!! Never hesitate: imitate and you will create! Never be shy: just try! Never reduce: continue to produce! Never neglect: intend to collect! Decide and you will achieve! Give and you will receive! Accept and you will believe! Think and you will perceive!

Remember that!!! If success is war, self-confidence is the gun. If self-confidence is gun, insistence is the bullet. If achievement is sea, will is the boat. If will is boat, aspiration is the paddle. If effort is thunder, accomplishment is the rain. So, you; as a dreamer, tend to put the bullet into the gun and enter to the war, enjoy, if you want, staying on the sea with paddling or let your own thunder roll and wait for the rainYesJust do it!!!
