Free-D

The courage it takes to protect freedom. It took the individuals that signed the Declaration a great deal of courage to do so as they could have been hung for treason. People of the US use this symbol as a means to remind them that courage is often needed in times when freedoms are threatened. As John Adams, one of the founding fathers of the United States, wrote to his wife on third of July 1776, “The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.” It marked fourth of July as one of the most important celebrations for the people of the United States.

Luck can be lack of control over our constitution, circumstances or simply our personal ignorance regarding some factors that affect our lives. However, according to rationalists it is probability taken personally and believing in luck is a result of poor reasoning and wishful thinking. Since the outcome of any action or reaction can be as a result of consequence, then somebody crossing the road and getting hit by a car can easily be explained or rationalized by keeping all the factors involved in such an accident in mind.

As in rainbow every individual colour is equally important and responsible in the formation of the gorgeous arch, all individuals and groups living in a diverse society are equally of significance. Gender, race, religion, creed, disability, sexual preference, and nationality shape who we are and how we perceive the world. It influences us as much as the historical factors that define our generations. Diversity as a phenomenon is moving along a continuum. Initially, when people all strived for the comfort of sameness, variety was a threat. So, diversity was cause for segregation. Read the rest of this entry »

Summer is just around the corner, if not here already, and most likely unlike you I’m totally unprepared for it again. But, yet I cannot wait feel that lovely warm breeze against my body and wallow in the rays of the basking summer sun. So here it is again and here I am again eyeing in envy those who are already walking around in their new summer wardrobes looking totally fab as I cast my mind back to my previous summer’s drab designs not having a clue what’s hot and what’s not. The thought suddenly enters my mind that if one of those reality “what not to wear” type TV producers walked by I would just be standing a mile out right now. Dang! Ok, so a plan begins to form in my mind, something that consists of a quick gym membership and a hurried appointment with the local beauty parlour.

The current generation of university students are more demanding, and require much more ‘spoon feeding’ than their predecessors. That is according to the survey done by the Times Educational Supplement. The emergence of the internet is viewed as the culprit in that it makes students less active in finding out information for themselves. It all starts from school as the system of education is becoming more and more forgiving towards students, where instead of a good old punishment the little trouble maker of the class is simply pardoned and efficiently given the title of suffering from ADHD (Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder).

Beliefs, religions, schools of thought, the meaning of life all together they are only theories. In all major religions, the message has been simple: love each other, live in peace and harmony with nature, thou shall not kill, thou shall not steal, love thy neighbour and so on and so on. However, most of the devastations and massacres that happened in history on the basis of belief and when religion was put into practice. So the question arises of who is to be blamed for all the hatred and differences spread among mankind in the world. Is it God or people who misuse the power of religion and mislead the masses into the black hole of resentment towards each other? Read the rest of this entry »

It is for sure that there are many opinions regarding Globalization, whether positive or negative the question yet stays as how are we all affected by it.

By some this group is the New World Order and the global shadow government, whilst some go to the extremes of calling them the next Anti-Christ. Some religious groups believe that since the formation of the group the sole intention has been to speed up the prophecy and give birth to the Anti-Christ so the Devil worshipers can rule the Earth and put an end to mortal souls’ salvation. Some might think that such thoughts are too radical and some might not even believe in God, Devil and religions, yet for people who do believe in Satan, the reign of the Prince of Darkness is their ultimate goal. More rational explanations and conspiracies might not support such believes and simply place Bilderbergers as the power crazy financial tycoons and political leaders who under the name of Globalisation dream of ruling all humanity.

The traditional liberal ideal was stated clearly in Martin Luther King’s famous ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, delivered in August 1963 in Washington, DC:

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.”

Since the early Egyptians we presumably have always observed and speculated about the physical differences among individuals and groups. For example, the ancient sacred text called Book of Gates identifies four categories that are now conventionally labelled “Egyptians”, “Asiatics”, “Libyans”, and “Nubians”, but such distinctions tended to conflate differences as defined by physical features such as skin tone, with tribal and national identity. Julian the Apostate was an early observer of the differences in humans, based on ethnic, cultural, and geographic traits, but as the idea of race had not yet been conceptualized, he believed that they were the result of “Providence”.
