The Nakba

The war of 1948 and all the actions that lead to present day Egypt are revealing history facts where in discourse of mis communication. The feeling of never having a home to come back to are the feeling of invasion of what once was your home is mainly a consequence to the wars that had occur right afterwards. Lossing a home regardless whether or not you were at that time frame home should be a reason to feel resentment towards a government that clearly should have no invasion of the terriorty that pretains to them. The pressure of Arab leaders falling under the western powers has a significant affect that leads to there fall of order within there government and there population. For any community that over the years that they see little by little there land is beening striped away from them is greatly a huge part. As always the Isralie's will always have an allie with the United States either because the US finds it better to stay attach and be blind to only hear and see one side of the story or the US simply has been tricked always into seeing the sistuation on one side by evidence that was never taken farther then just a glimspe.

Armenian Genocide

Any Genocide that there could have been I believe that it shouldn't have occurred it is a serious cause that for most people that had had a family member or had experience it is a memory that could never be forgotten or destroyed. To have heard about the Armenian Genocide and how most people especially from the Americas did not even know about it shows how much of a Genocide there was. For the people to not express it freely about the occurrence is probably because for some it is hard to even have spoken about it compared to how the Holocaust was for many to had spoken about there's. To have learn about this was completely different because the existence about it to me was not there to me at all. After hearing about the Turkish government denying that there ever was one is even greater, what is the point or do they gain to deny such an event that for many did happen and especially when all is said at the end.

Touba of the Sun

The story reflects mostly in the change of the time where woman were trying to be equal in power with the men as the change of economy and the change of education. After reading this book I wish to incorporate some what part of the book into what I am writing in my freshman essay paper. The reason behind why I say I would like to incorporate some part or parts of the book into my freshman essay that tends to be the topic of women being equal to men or not. The story fits very well into this topic because the setting is placed around the story a women and her love towards the people around her as she was the oldest and assumed to be the person in head that was to take care of everyone in the family and then the love of God and righteous.
In my freshman paper there was a website where I had read information that I had incorporated the assumption that actually is proven to be true where woman are usually not in the topic ranks in the government. The reason behind this research was to see whether or not woman do deserve the 10% in there pay check and why they are out number in the governmental seats. In the end the reason to why is that women only reach those sits when they are told that they are never capable to reach a seat in the highest form in the government where as other women that are never told about the position that they can receive if and only they worked hard for it, another reason is that women are more emotionally attach to certain topics. Touba is a women that is describe to fit in the category that as much hard work that is benign thrown to her, her status will always be when and where she should be at the moment to derive the problem and allow to some what curve the destination (fate). The women is portray to be the figure as the solid rock in the family for instance; "she busied herself with two things: She wove a carpet for her .....". The explanation after all this is to be a women in power who has carried for years the problems and even the possibilities of life if all was not relied on her standards. From above attachment of the association that shows the difference between woman.
Secondly, the "Touba and The Meaning of Night" is a book that shows the transition of both men and women in the political area with this it shows how in the political structure of Iran back in the 19th and 20th century the government showed a fixture of how the women in Iran were starting to make a break through in there country, same way during that time women here in the United States were becoming to be noticed within the government seat. Women have grown to be recognized in a slow moving pace but within this book it demonstrates the types of men in that time that slowly became to see that the world that they once you was rapidly changing which meant in order for the those men or women that lived a life never in there minds had it cross that it could happen they were seeing it happen just in front of there faces for instances; "On the ground, ants were coming and going in a straight line. Haji Adib...". Touba's father realizes the change in Iran before Touba was independent, as a realization of this he teacher's Touba how to read and know some sort of defense mechanism whiched helped her later on in her life. Another fact that we can see is that not to many men were able to see this in the way how he reacted and treated the form of receiving the growth of the women were he desires that his daughter would eventually learn to be in a better life.
Finally, the growth of an economy shows how much the country itself is positioned at and how well they are. The uprise of an economy shows that the reason behind it would be when the countries generation are receiving the education that is needed and once a country has that the generations like that will continue to improve and advance in the future generations. This book reveals a concept that most countries suffer a stage in every century to improve and grow wether it is being independent or simply join another country and nation. When there is education that a generation can teach to the generation before there's it is even better for example; " Madam Amineh sat on the edge of the pool and opened her veil." The visual imagery that of the veil where most woman never in public would have dare to move to take the veil off for just seeing would that ever occurred and then the workers that were placed to do the pavement of the street is another growth of the countries growth.

The Man who Changed the World Part 4

The way that this leader Hameli was able to undermine the central thoughts of the people in Iran, and in a way exactly at the precised moment it is where he finds the chance to convince the people until the some Iran's broke into the U.S. territory to make justice in there hands that was when the common sense of the rest of the government decided to step in to make what there own nation should have been since the start. The sneekism that the rest of the convernt government took to bring by the Shah was a brilliant strategy in order to save the mess that they were in. In a way say that it is best that every government should be held on there own not for any other government to step unless it is asked but to be kept in a moderate timing for that other government to help.

CIA Iran 1953

It is funny how the United States is always in the pursuit of the petroleum for many reasons most of the interventions that the U.S. government has been of the cause of finding ways to capture it at least the slightest bit of petroleum. In this documentary we are able to detect that most of the siege control that the United States has is because of the petroleum, by running the government as an Alie of Iran. To me I found it as a strategy to distract the government in order to steal the petroleum that Iran has, at least that is what I believe I might be wrong in that case but not to long ago did this nation had gone to the Middle East as a start of something of right and then ended up benign the opposite that it was said to be.
Now once the CIA had seen the mistake they had done by overthrown a government that was structurally find just in the order to see what could have happened to get there way in the mean time, once they had seen the chaos that was corrupted in the social structure of the nation that was when they sensed a changed but this time around the Shah took control practically letting his nation know where they should stand in the world.

Slavery

I might have missed the Monday to the discussion that I had picked up on that following Thursday which was what do we consider slavery to actually be? Because here in the U.S. it was determined to be based on color of the skin as where in other places slaves were able to obtain property and be educated. Now for a slave to be able to reach a maximum position within the Harem is a respectful to the person and there family. Eventually just to be able to stay there and live within those walls is something completely an experience for the person and the family. Slavery should not be based on color or even race, I even believe that there should not have even been slaves in that case.

Week 7

The comparison between present day reform in the U.S. government to the reform at the end of the 18th century brings about many points example to one was about the taxes on cars just for the benefits of the car manufactures in U.S. just because they feel a treat into there commercial areas. With every intend that is pertain towards the lower class there will always be an uproar that will be the upper class, like a domino effect. Another thing that I found interesting is the clash of old ideas that to me I can relate really easily because in most Latin American countries you will eventually find to happen the young that re-bolt the old and vice versa which to me that is one thing that maintains the country or states because in the end there is somewhat a mutual agreement so for both parties to be content with. Personally I do find that where ever it is that you are at the poor are always the ones affected, the government gives them one thing to be content with then just around the corner theirs a deal to this, that the happiness is withdrawn from there faces such as to what the Ottoman Empire was doing to them they granted the land to be under the names of the slaves but raised a high tax on the property and what do you know the slaves weren't able to pay the debt back to the government and in turn the property became apart of the government.
One thing that I have never understood was that, ok, you give cotton plant fields for other's to manufacture them and then you complain about the taxes on them and I just not only say it for Egypt back then I also state it for the U.S. and other countries that prefer the labor to be done by other's but of course there is a sells tax on the items.

To Die In jerusalem

This documentary brings out many points towards the feelings and the events that took place after the suicide booming that took place. The the boomer Ayat Al- Akhar (Palestine) I had gone into a supermarket in Jerusalem where in the entrance of the store the bomb exploded, along side to her Rachel Levy (Israeli) died. Amazingly both of them have features that seem the same.

What had surprised me was the reactions of both mothers especially the mother of Ayat the way that she finds that there is nothing in her power that she can do and yet finds what her daughter had done wrong but in a way is an oxymoron when said that she wants everything that she can't obtain now before she would ever do anything therefore you are technically supporting what your own daughter did be right. I agree with Rachel's mother that there are other ways to be heard if they were to unite forces because not all of us in this world may think in a certain way, therefore to actually know if it is able to be done whatever it is that they would like to occur, they should try without that only maybe would be, what good could that be?

Another note that I took was the part of the girl would is imprisoned because she joined the cause of the martyrdom mission. What shocks me is the reaction how she tells Rachel's mother that she see the pain as a mother who lost a child but at the same time she deserves to feel that pain. To me I just don't find the connection that what was done to you should be paid to another person that has nothing to do with the problem should be done the same or worst situation. For me if it was my daughter in the position if I was the mother of Ayat I would have taken the offer of Rachel's mother of uniting together and let everyone understand yes we are different nations were both our nations are in a conflict but I would want to do state something, make a voice to be heard but at least I did something to fight against the odds.

Imperial Harem

Power in a marriage for either the man and woman was clearly something that they both contribute to having. For the woman it seemed to be a whole life's deal to working there way up to the position of being the best woman figure that there was and to living within the walls of the Harem. It seems that it goes along the guide lines of life where to as they ab id to only living to serf one idea and that one idea along is something that was to be carried for centuries on. Total darkness to whom the woman may eventually be with was a total mystery to her as well as to the men also. It may seem that the whole foreplay as we call it was not even heard of. For us in a way we can relate it to beaning as an immigrant who is looking to obtain the U.S. citizenship by finding a woman who is willing to be in an contract to marriage and along with that contract means that has to some what seem real to the immigration officers. By making it seem real enough to the immigration officers they some what take it far as to even having a child. In a way we can see this in the Harem with the Sultan and the slave girl that they do not even met and have any contribution to foreplay and so it is a game to at least become greater in power to having a son for the woman and all the means of power within the Harem among the woman as well as the men to finding a son that can over take the throne once time comes, for him at least it is to be able to impregnate as many woman possible that have sons to fight over the throne and be the sultan that has the blood line that is carried to power for the estate.
Another detail that I had found to be interesting is that for them the bloodline has to be somewhat pure but as you look back to the line it is not so pure. For the Sultan himself is the son of a slave where most the slaves were brought in from another place near Europe or Egypt. To me the line is lost it is not as powerful that they image to be.

Ottoman Empire

I find that the Ottoman Empire showed a new ability in the tactics of war before the Mongols arrived with gun power. The special tactics and maneuvers on horses showed that it took them the time and the ability to learn, in order to surprise there opponents. The history behind the Middle East seems to me to be that it has always been a struggle for them to take a respectable position in the world. By that I mean just right next to the Ottoman Empire there were two great Empires right next to them which were the Byzantine and the Mongol Empire. A treat of religion to be the powerful in the world has been a fight over the years.

Peace, Propaganda, and The Promised Land

I believe that like all situations that it is good to hear from both sides and even sometimes listen from a 3rd source. I have know that the situation that Gaza has has been an event that has been occuring for some time now. I find that it is unfortunate that the people who live in Gaza that are Arabs have to deal with the fact that all the hard work that they have put into their homes can be destroyed or taken away from them. I find that the people that live in Gaza that are Arabs live in a life that only seems to be filled with sadness for instances a child who has survive the attacks of the air bombs or gunshots grow up to a world that they know to be as cruel and never knowing the joys of life, they grow knowing that they can not have goals or plan for a future because they would not know if they will wake to see tomorrow or even be alive for the next 3 or 5 years.
What I found interesting about the documentary is that the U.S. steps in only hearing and supporting only one side, I know that there could only be one side that the U.S. can take and be an Allie but what I do not seem to not understand is that the U.S. attacks Iraq supposedly helping them become a Democratic country but ends up trying to take a cut of the oil that the country has so what exactly does Israel have? Is there a bigger trade between the U.S. and Israel? The truth is if the U.S. is claim to be as a nation that seems to be the one who steps in as a symbolic peace negotiator then how come the U.S. does not remember that we once were forced to be not a nation but just territories of the British similar to how Gaza is benign treated.They are imposed to live with a curfew all year around. This is just my opinion but you may correct me if you want.
