when I thought about a topic for my last presentation in pronunciation class the first idea that jumped into my mind was of euthanasia. It like an electricity shock. Either deliberately or unintentionally, the issue becomes one of my concerns. According to the Greek definition of Euthanasia, it means “ good death”. Originally, the term refers to painless and peaceful death as used to happen in comfortable surroundings. Nowadays, for some reasons that I don’t know the word become used to refer to the situation when someone ends up the life of another in order to cope with his pain and sufferings. Both usages for the term throughout the history sound contradictory for me. The contradiction does not surprise me because they were the Greeks, their contemporaries, and the ancient people in general who built up the bases for ethics and morals. It is only with the modern man that ethics have become chaotic issue.




In the case of euthanasia, Dr. Jack Kivorkian paved the way to such a trouble. Some people call him Dr,Death, yet, doesn’t look like the appropriate name for someone who dare to kill people. He and his suporte4 might argue that their message is purely humane. First, it provides a relief of the chronic and extreme pain of the patient”Proponents also argue that legalizing euthanasia/assisted suicide is a necessary "insurance policy" that will ensure that no one dies in painful agony or unremitting suffering”. Second, it provides a relief from medial funding that will not bring any positive result. Lastly, it is another form of freedom of choice.






Nevethelless, have you ever thought about any similarity between euthanasia and bomb suicide? I believe that they share a same goal as both of them are meant to end the life of someone else. In deed, a suicide is always a suicide whether within the assistance of somebody, individually, or collaboratively. The similarities extend to reach the physical and the mental status of the people who accept to be killed. In the case of euthanasia, most of the patients are desperate, unable to think appropriately, and hate life. Similary, according to a study pub;ished on wekepedia, most of suicide attackers suffer from spycholologicalor mental problems and are desperate as well”One initial reaction to contemporary suicid One initial reaction to contemporary suicide bombing was to assume that the bombers were motivated by despair, and likely to come from a poor, neglected segment of society.the study adds that around “ 80% of the suicide attackers had some kind of physical or mental disability”.




Thus, is there anybody ion the earth who can tell what will happen eactly tomorrow. Even for weather forecast, despite all the techinological devices they invented for the purposes, sometime it is still hard to tell. To put it another way, who can assume that tomorrow will not be a different day in the life of the patrient? Who can assume that tomorrow ther will not be a change in the life of the suicide aatcker? Who can assume that tomorrow is not going to be brighter for everybody on earth? To conclude, as long as there is hope life is always better than death.

Ibn Khaldoun

Have you ever heard about a multi-specialties scientist? Have you ever heard about a writer whose book’s introduction is divided into two tomes? He is the most admirable public figure for me. Ibn Khaldoun is a 14th century Tunisian scholar. He was known for his wide knowledge in science and humanities, civilizations, theology, anthropology, economics, and politics. Three good reasons make the person very special for me: the depth of his ideas, the influence of his studies on modern researches, and his strong personal belief in his principles.

Although few are the pages I read from Ibn khaldoun’s books, I am always impressed by the depth of his ideas in different fields of interest. Ibn Khaldoun is known by being very direct and clear. In addition to the well organized and structured discourse, Ibn Khaldoun has very detailed findings, strongly illustrated with examples and case studies from everyday life. For most of the issues he analyzed, the researcher wrote long passages where he broke down the different perspectives that an issue can be viewed from. For example, when Ibn Khaldoun treated the man’s need to earn a livelihood, he talked about taxation, hunting, commerce, agriculture, crafts as conditions and means of earning sustenance.


A further reason why I admire Ibn Khaldoun is related to the permanent validity of his ideas. Ibn khaldhoun’s findings about motivations, dynamics of work, and leadership have a striking resemblance to our modern lives. Every one nowadays wants to progress and succeed in the marketplace. Furthermore, the author’s genius work “introduction” is full of pearls of wisdom about the nature of humans and sciences. His ideas about the science of culture and chauvinism inspired all generations to come. Many of the historical and sociological modern studies such as that of “unionism” are influenced by his researches.


Last, Ibn khaldoun’s strong attachment to his ideas and principles is also among the reasons why I pay him too much tribute and esteem. Despite the harsh conservative atmosphere of the era where he appeared, Ibn khaldoun could face it courageously. Historians recorded that he escaped many countries such as Morocco and Spain because of his moderate religious and political opinions. Yet, he had never modified his points of view. Ibn khaldoun believed in the importance of work, therefore, he was very determined and tenacious at work. Similarly, because he endorsed the principle of relativism, he was always cautious and very open to listen from others.


In summary, Ibn Khaldoun is always a vibrant and original thinker for me. The depth of his ideas, the influence that his researches have on modern lives and his strong belief in his principles, make him my favorite public figure. Ibn kahldoun’s writings really represent significant references for further researches in all areas of interests.

Sharing Parenting











Who is going to cook? Who is going to wipe the dust? Who is going to stay at home with the sick child? Who is going to come back early to let the baby sitter go? Who is going to prepare the children for school? A general observation of different kinds of societies shows that those activities are one partner’s work. She is the mom who should be responsible for all this.



It is not because man is not able to do them. It is not because parenting is naturally designed this way . On the contrary, the analysis of such an issue is definitely related to social and cultural background. It is for the safe of man’s masculinity, dignity, and superiority that the male partner has not to do anything related to housework. Whether the woman works outside or she is a housewife, some societies are strictly merciless with man who tries to help his wife at home. He is very likely to become an object of mockery, criticism, and sometimes rejection. Are some conservative areas people do not even sit with such a kind of men. Not only manhood societies who adopt such an opinion, even women in so many cultures belittle the man who tries to help his mother or wife at home. Unreliable, weak, his wife’s servant, foolish, poor, and so on and so forth of the degrading descriptions they make for him. Hence, sharing parenting or alternative parenting like what some prefer to call is more limited by social and cultural customs than by natural rules.
Although such a topic might seem a big problem, yet, it is still worth discussing for the sake of a successful matrimonial life. I am not going to focus on relationships in the past since most women did not work. However, within the contemporaneous changes of women status, one may wonder why men are still unwilling to participate in different types of housework. At this level of analysis, I would take off the norms from the list of the reasons because even norms change. I don’t see man’s selfishness among the reasons either. In an article published on Feminist.com by Julie Shield on family and parenting, negotiation is stated as the best means to cope with men’s prejudice on sharing parenting.

Thus, the lack of negotiation between couples will be among the basic reasons I would agree on for such an issue. I don’t know what couples are talking about when they start dating each other. Eventhough nothing would be wrong with keeping all the time cooing at each other, worshipping, or courting one another as it is the nature of love, mature couples would also find sometime to discuss their futuristic responsibilities. Hence, instead of fighting about which of the restaurants they want to go at the weekend or about how much money they have to spend to have a prestigious wedding ceremony, couples would rather sit to negotiate the different ways that may help them make their married life happier. Children’s care and alternative parenting for example, is among the crucial issue that should be discussed before marriage. Indeed, a true successful matrimonial life can even have the woman pumping a bottle of breast milk from her nipples and giving it to the father to feed it to the baby later as he going to work and he is on a day off or an afternoon partime job.



A second reason why man is still unwilling to help with children’s care or housework cleaning refers to the woman’s attitude or what Chester L. Karras (one of Julie Shield’s persons in her article) calls “aspiration level”. Woman, who asks for more since the beginning of the relationship, gets more. Woman who asks for less gets less. I think that men who are in love are usually open to understand and to love their partners’ perceptions of life.



In summary, although sharing parenting seems to be a challenge for men to accept, negotiations between couples in association with the extent of woman’s conviction with her husbands’ help at home may make it easier for both couples.

See Her Cigssssssssss!!!





It is apparent that women have the same nicotine dependency like men. It is also clear that the number of female smokers is augmenting quickly between years. What makes it worse is that smoking becomes more popular among young women than elder ones. According to an article published by the American Cancer Society, about 21% of women ages 18 to 44 smoke, but only about 9% of women 65 and over do. As these younger women age and continue to smoke, they will have more smoking-related illness and disability. Reasons that push women towards cigarettes vary between psychological troubles, such as feelings of guilty, disappointment, rejection, and social deterrence like low-paid or unpaid jobs, divorce, or the simple tendency towards a sense of group belonging. When smokers meet at the schoolyard they believe that they have much fun and joyful atmosphere than non-smokers.


It is assumed that tobacco epidemic risks are familiar to all smokers including young or old women. And if there is one explanation why they don’t quite, it may be due to the lack of a strong will. Therefore, I think that sometimes it is worthless to invest time and money publishing ads and making programs to encourage people who are completely conscious of the effects of the cigarettes. In fact, some women in some places may smoke just for the purpose of the prestige. Isn’t that ridiculous?! Hence, why instructing people who are knowledgeable enough about the issue? Why advising women who smoke only, because they are either naïve or stubborn?

However, there is still some kind of person who is neither aware of the smoking risks nor able to ban them even if he/she were aware. It is still possible to say that smoking is imposed on him/her. Obviously, he/she is the little growing baby of the smoking pregnant mother. Research suggests that infants of mothers who smoke during and after pregnancy are 2 to 3 times more likely to die from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than babies born to non-smoking mothers. Hence, voices of blame should be much more rigid with the category of pregnant women or with those who aim at getting married and having children than with anybody else. Smoking women in this case, are not putting only themselves at risk, but also the life of innocent creatures. It would be even so judicious if children rights organization put obstructions and laws on pregnant smokers.
