All research is specific, whether you conduct ethnographic or questionnaire research, the first thing you do is describe a process or investigate a relationship among some variables in a population. To get from description to
theory is a big leap and involves asking " What causes the phenomenon in the first place?" The question I posed fellow students is; how far can we take the Freedom of Speech? And what is child pornography?
My purpose is also to show you the danger of using children as sex objects, and the general apathy or acceptance American and Dutch culture has toward these sexual portrayals of children through literature, art, and erotica. Art is not the core issue of my research, but this is a way to soften public resolve. Sexual portrayals of children are common in bookstores, sex shops, video stores, and in private collections, even museums, which may at times be described as art and thus legal. Because of the liberal stand the Netherlands takes on matters of sexual issues, as described later, there could be questionable material concerning young children and adolescents sold directly to anybody in sex shops or video stores anywhere in the country, or on the Internet, internationally, affecting all of us and our children.
It was important to see what was being done in the country about this subject because of its international impact on child sex trade. There was some questions raised to me about the validity of this research because a non-government organization (NGO) is not ‘scientific”. In fact I found that they are the one of the only sources that take an active role in combating the child sex trade, whether it be in a democratic “Western” country or poor country and their resources are based upon fact, and detailed research. As a student doing this solo research project in two countries I also faced obstacles such as funding, and professors willing to work with me on this subject.
Permission was granted by Dutch International NGO’s to conduct interviews, but was denied by GWAK, a new special police force in the Netherlands to combat child sexual exploitation, although I did interview a new special Child Pornography Unit on the telephone. The NGO’s that I have interviewed from were; ECPAT (End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography, and Trafficking in Children for Sexual Purposes), Defense for Children International, Terres des Hommes, ChildRight, and a government supported scientific institute in the Netherlands; the Verwey Jonker Instituute. Almost all of these groups are a part of international organizations that work along with the United Nations as well as the Ministry of Justice in the Netherlands, and especially with the Convention of the Rights of the Child. I think it is very important how each of these NGO’s look into the problem of child exploitation, namely child pornography in the Netherlands.
Feelings about the Subject
I have found in doing research many uninformed democratic citizens believe in the idea child pornography is protected by the Freedom of Speech. Child pornography is not protected by the Freedom of Speech, as children must deal with the permanency, longevity, and circulation of the record of the crime long after the act (106th Congress, 1996). This I also feel is true as in one case, that is close to me, the charges were dropped and the thousands were never found of one "collector" pedophile, who was never held in jail for using 4 female children for his own purposes.
In cultural anthropology, unobtrusive observation includes all methods for studying behavior where informants don't know that they are being studied. My methods involve unobtrusive questions or observations of American students and Dutch students at New Mexico State University, and in the Netherlands at Leiden University from August 1997 through May 2001.
Student reporter, Sylvia Carlson asked New Mexico State University students how they felt about child pornography on the internet and the accessibility of it. Some students felt aggression and anger and formed a group to block “censorship.” About five hundred students, the President of NMSU, and the Board of Regents openly expressed how they supported the accessibility of child pornography on the internet at NMSU.
Although my questions aimed at Dutch students were not printed in a school journal, their answers I feel remain important. Do Dutch citizens believe the number of children used in exploitation in Holland is a small number, and is this an important subject to them? When I moved to the Netherlands, my new Dutch housemates and I exchanged ideas about the problem of human rights that are violated in their country, namely child pornography. What follows is a summary of a heated discussion between us that provides an example of a typical social reaction about this subject;
Many of my housemates asked, “Why did you decide to come to the Netherlands?” My answer was, “Well, two years ago while doing research about the problem of child pornography in the United States, I discovered there was an amazing amount of child pornography coming from the Netherlands”.
My roommates replied, “You have been misinformed! There is no one in the Netherlands that is interested in child pornography. It is illegal here! You won’t find any child pornography here if you tried. You are wrong. Now don’t go back to the United States and print lies about our country”. Not to mention violence and aggression, on their part. They felt targeted.
During many discussions with fellow students and professors and while reading academic research in the United States and the Netherlands, I discovered several interesting opinions from democratic students/citizens besides persons with empathy for victims, I would like to share with you:
The person researching the nature and extent of child pornography is actually interested in it for himself/herself!
Children cannot be harmed by child pornography, it can actually benefit their sex life later as adults! "What about PTSD, depression, suicide, and the like?"
Why didn’t I study in Belgium or Thailand? It is not a problem in the Netherlands. "Doesn't happen in my backyard?!Only a third world problem?"
NGO work is not scientifically proven research and therefore not acceptable to use as a resource in an acedemic paper. "Hmm, really? Then get some scientists to work on it."
Child pornography is not an acceptable topic to discuss and there are no classes that teach students about this topic. "Thats why there are 6 million images on the internet, because no one has a clue. Why can't we talk about it? Fear, anger, apathy?"
If the Dutch were to make a hard rule about child pornography, the people actually interested in the material would riot and cause too many problems for the government.
"What about the victims? Don't you think they suffer? Don't they deserve justice?"
People interested in child porno are the same as the people interested in members of the same sex (homosexuals or lesbians)! "Says, what official source?"
The child pornography that is available now has not been recently made, but it is from the 1960's. "Then why does the Department of Justice say there are 6 million images of child pornography online today? People just stopped after 1969? Not in the cases I have read about and personally am affected by."
Child pornography is protected by the Freedom of Speech. "Oh really. Tragically many people believe this. The sad case is trying to be made that child pornography is a human right of certain folks who "need" such things to keep them sane. Very dangerous thinking, indeed."
The nature and extent of child pornography is difficult to understand due to the lack of scientific data.Due to the lack of scientific data about the extent of child pornography in the Netherlands, or we may use the term, the commercial sexual exploitation of children, all of the complexities about this issue cannot be answered. This could also be said for the United States.
You may ask yourself if you stumble upon something questionable; is the photo is this child pornography, or adolescent pornography? Did this adolescent make a mature decision about her employment? Could she have been manipulated? Is this legal? I discovered typical photos found in the advertising sections of a popular adult magazine and teenage porn sold in magazine shops in the train stations in the Netherlands. My purpose will be to show the nature of erotica and child pornography and how difficult it is to define.
The United States also needs to take an example from the Netherlands and sign the Convention of the Rights of the Child. For such a large country there are such few places to report child pornography, and few police organizations that work specifically on the issue, as well as research centers for students who like myself, want to end this crime against our children and children's children.

It could have been me.
Am I ready?
I don't know when I will go,
or where it will be,

Introduction and the book includes nine chapters and conclusion, and a word of thanks, the page three hundred and sixty-eight pages, and the importance of the book lies not only in the fact that the author is the head of the United States. And that some or many of the ideas contained in this book will be applied in one form or another and in different proportions, and these ideas contradict most of the policies of Bush and his conservative ideological and the Evangelical Alliance and the new, although we will not exaggerate the hopes and expectations will impart with Obama after he entered the White House State of America is administered by institutions and lobbies for the control of the multiple economic, and religious press, but we certainly expect a difference in style and approach, and serious attempts to rehabilitate the image of America and alleviate the situation of escalating hostility toward America among many peoples, not only in the world of the developing South, but in the world of the North especially from Europe and Russia through the advocacy of the ideals upon which America and the respect for international law and the charters of the United Nations and human rights, environmental protection and the application of real democracy and democracy is not 99.99%.
It must be pointed out that the book of books that get the fat designation is intense ideas and should be read carefully and it reflects the depth of thinking and a culture of accuracy and excellent views of the domestic and foreign policy is not surprising that self way amid the sweat of their brows maintained and sponsored by the family of the form of hardworking mother and grandmother, a graduate of the Faculty of Law at Columbia University and studied constitutional law at the University of Chicago as well as the early work in the field of civil rights and of the Council of the mandate of Alnioi then a member of the Senate in Washington.
And records of Obama in this book daring and frankness in criticism of American policy mistakes since the inception of the United States, especially the question of slavery, American Indians, racial discrimination and to Latin America as well as his criticism of this policy after the two first and the second is not only wrong, but the impact of proposed solutions and the further advantage of this record.
I think that reading this book not only for the task of politicians in the Arab world, whether they are in power or opposition in the parliament or the government but also to all the media and the intellectuals and opinion leaders in civil society organizations in order to know the direction of U.S. foreign policy in the era of his presidency, focusing primarily in the Chapter VIII (the world beyond our borders) in order to benefit from his experience in the field of politics and in its dealings with its citizens and voters and opponents alike, which runs more or less the policy of the world.
This is a simple attempt to summarize the eighth chapter, which concerns us only
Chapter VIII: the world beyond our borders
This chapter is one of the most important chapters of the non-American readers because it relates to foreign policy of interest to all the world thanks to the throne of America expressed the strongest military in the world economically and scientifically.
This chapter begins by talking about his childhood in Indonesia when he arrived with the husband of his mother and the age of six years, where he remained for about four years left for Hawaii, where his grandfather and grandmother lived to his mother, and then visited Indonesia four times. He criticizes the record of America in this country and its cooperation with the Suharto and condoned the violation of human rights despite the fact that this policy changed after the end of the Cold War.
Turning then growing jihadist fundamentalist Islam in Indonesia and has become a secular decline (one of the largest Islamic parties and political blocs, many of which call for the application of law).
He also pointed out that the Middle East funded mosques and religious schools in the IAF and that many women have committed themselves to the Islamic dress code that prevails in North Africa and the Gulf, which sheds light on the Islamic group which is chaired by Bashir, which he accuses of links with al-Qaeda and he concludes from this country under such variables as (become the land of strangers).
Then, after dealing with the history of foreign policy, which began the era of isolation and expansion to the west and south-west and the blatant interference in the new world and then in the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean and the war entered its first, second, whether the refusal to ratify the membership of the United States of the League of Nations against the principles of age and supporters have justified isolation that (encroachment on the sovereignty of America and the restriction of the senseless America's ability to impose its will on the world),
however, that all changed after Pearl Harbor. When the war ended and the Cold War emerged, despite the success of America to avoid nuclear war during the (26) years and to reach a successful conclusion of the cold war and an era of unprecedented economic growth, but foreign policy remained a neglected area of human rights and support of corrupt dictatorships and coups against elected leaders but to policy makers American policy looked at the problems of the world from the perspective of a diplomat, not a result of cooperation between the Pentagon and the Iron Triangle, the military-industrial complex and members of Congress who are in their arms companies.
It also points out that foreign policy has been opposed, and find it even though the policy Nikson and Kissinger's policy in terms of skill, Carter focused on human rights, in sympathy with the policy of the Reagan "Star Wars" and the motive of some aspects of the Reagan vision of the world as it indicates that Bush's father in terms of realism and traditional Despite the successes, however, fell Foreign result (focus the attention of American public opinion on the economic situation of procedure) 296. While Clinton has focused more on trade from the tank and to protect intellectual property rights to protect the lives of more Americans.
Although the events of 11 September led to the heart of things upside down and increased the authority of President Bush and the sympathy of the international community with the United States, however, that the process of eliminating the Taliban in Afghanistan have been unsuccessful. It calls for the formulation of foreign policy success of the atheist and the twentieth century not only by military force against terrorism, but (to adopt an international meeting on the new transnational threats to the borders of States)
to guide the policy of the use of military force and expresses its ideals. In this connection describes the US-led invasion of Iraq that it (the invasion of senseless and reckless recklessly violated the sovereignty of an Islamic country) and the stimulation of the insurgency has adopted a broad sense of the religious and national dignity and increased anti-American.
And cooperation with the international community considers it necessary, however, then he (if we have to do the job alone, the American people would be willing to pay any price).
It also rejects the methods of Bush to impose democracy with guns and support across the parties supported by Washington, and calls for attention to generate chaos, failed because the chaos and calls for activating the work of the United Nations and the chapter concludes by talking about the Arab-Israeli conflict, which had visited the zone of conflict in the Holy Land and reached ( absurd to believe that a solution to this conflict in the current generation and the ability of America, despite its overwhelming to determine the course of events in the world).
Arab-Israeli conflict is one of the most protracted conflicts historic - now more than fifty years of continuous - defined by the contemporary world and, of course, their roots and sources of conflict to the late nineteenth century and until the Israel entity in Palestine in 1948. And characterized the Arab-Israeli conflict from other conflicts that covers various aspects of strategic, political, military, economic, cultural and other, as well as the extensive use by the Zionist creed of the myths and allegations of religious institution to interpretation dpi and fabrication of the facts of the religious Torah and the Talmud and other religious interpretations by mixing distorted by project leaders Israel ideology of secularism with the belief of this project and the main argument.
Extremism in the Israeli concepts
Another unique part of Israel within the framework of this conflict by adopting a unique and peculiar notions of national security requirements and maintain the presence and safety entity of Israel, noting that all the actions of Israel's internal and external economic and political security requirements are subject to options where stem Israel political and other permanent Israeli security requirements Which is now the supreme value among the various values of Israeli major and growing anomaly that perception especially with the post-cold war world, the Horn of atheist century, which occupied the place where economic geography or geopolitics
Moreover, Israel was almost the only country in the world that insists on the complete restructuring of the main regional and sub-regional systems surrounding it, it asserts that there is an absolute necessity for the bombing and the removal of the Arab regional order but also to fragment the Arab national social entity Not only that but also fragment the fabric National Social each Arab country separately.
We have to notes that all political settlements that have been so far between Israel on one hand and each of Egypt, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority considers adjustments along the tense and contains within it the sources of tension for the return of the conflict over private sources of permanent and comprehensive settlement and stable.
Reveal recent developments in concepts and policy development, especially sustainable development and human resource development for the escalation of the economic gap between Arabs and Israel for years, this addition to that investment in development, technology and spending on scientific research witnessing a marked decline in the Arab side by development policies that were adopted to export Raw material consumption and the development of recreation and a lack of interest by diversifying the economy and make it more complex ones, along with the majority of Arab countries still rely mainly on external resources, namely, does not depend on the capacities of local and national resources but affected the conditions of the international environment such as oil exports and tourism, expatriate remittances and foreign aid The foreign loans and sea lanes, such as the Suez Canal, one example of the negative consequences of these policies is the relative stability or decline in GDP growth rates or absolute figures for this product,
Development rates in Israel and the Arab States
It is well known that the human development index comprises mainly on three key indicators are:
1. The rate of literacy.
2. Average per capita gross domestic product.
3. Life expectancy at birth.
Besides education and health services, potable water and sanitation.
In terms of human development ladder, we find the following
• Egypt is ranked 124 in the world which is classified among the countries of low growth or lower States average growth, average per capita GDP in 1290 dollars and Egypt is ranked 127 in the world.
• Israel ranked 36 in the measurement of human development and per capita GDP of approximately $ 16 thousand and is ranked 32 in the world in this regard.
• Jordan is ranked 100 in development all over the world and a per capita of $ 1520 and is ranked 120.
The project focused before the establishment of the Israel and then continued on strategic planning, which provides forecasts and alternative poses a national priorities and preferences, while Arab and distinguished performance with a few exceptions in the fifties and sixties deal practical and pragmatic with seasonal and situational developments and events of the conflict with Israel, while devoted many institutions and communities Research in various areas of nuclear, military, security, economic and demographic in dealing with conflict management, dealing still confined to the Arab administration official bureaucracy,
which includes government institutions and ministries of foreign affairs, defense and intelligence departments and only rarely Arab governments to adopt strategic planning centers of public and private, Israel has completed the beginning of the year 1990 plan is the first of its kind since its inception, entitled "Israel in 2020" lasted six years, where he focused research team Institute of Engineering and Applied Haifa comprises about 250 specialists and crews from ten ministries, and resulted in work on the development of 18 volumes trying to cover all aspects of the Israeli internal and external.
With regard to the Israeli plan to overcome the significant population growth among the Arabs of 1948 in light of declining birth rates among Israeli Jews there attract immigrants from the former Soviet Union states at a million immigrants in the coming years after it managed to attract another million years 1990 and 2000, there also modify the balance of population For the benefit of Jews through the expansion of settlement and within the so-called Green Line, which showed the availability of a high level of awareness of the strategic nature of the conflict with Israel as the conflict extends to a comprehensive and demographic aspects of water and related land and the economy as well as confrontation and military intelligence, has developed a working group chaired by Minister of Infrastructure radical (Lieberman), which advocates the expulsion of Palestinians to Jordan voluntarily or mansion, known as the plan entitled "Israel in 2000" That was late in 1996 and included a plan of action for three axes:
1 - Adding new areas of the so-called "development towns".
2 - Provide incentives for those who go for construction and housing in these towns.
3 - The link between the settlements in the West Bank while expanding the Green Line to be annexed to Jerusalem large areas of the West Bank and this is what was in the era of Sharon's government in parallel with the accelerated construction of the dividing line between Arabs and Israelis of Arab Jerusalem and along the Green Belt.
In the military aspects clear perception of higher-Israeli strategic plan recently called "the fabric of 2000" which are based on constant readiness for war option and the plan focuses on the following rules:
• The existence of so-called deterrence based on the image of Israel as a nuclear superpower in the eyes of the Arab region.
• Effective defense: a plan fence to protect Israel from the land surface.
• Defense negative: prevention and civil defense.
• Warning and strategic information.
• offensive capabilities and to acquire F-15 aircraft and the development of the control and surveillance of the distance, while most of the Arab parties embraced the so-called peace as a strategic option, did not develop the potential outbreak of the war and how to deal with situations of tension and instability, as the case since the outbreak of the second intifada, 2000 till now.
However, the intifada of regulatory capacities popular armament even a simple addition to grass-roots efforts and extensive face normalization with Israel and raise the slogan of boycotting American goods and products can provide a concrete and reasonable level which can be called deterrence popular help provide an environment of threat to Israeli security.
Me emocioné mucho cuando hace unos días recibí finalmente el link para poder ver el video que grabamos sobre el producto de nuestro II Encuentro AccionArte, que tuvo lugar en la Ciudad de Santiago del Estero, en el marco de las actividades simultáneas de la Sección Infancia y Juventud del 10* Festival Internacional de Cine de Derechos Humanos.
Gracias a todas las personas e instituciones que nos apoyaron en esta iniciativa autogestiva de los miembros de la Red AccionArte y de la Asociación Vientos del Sur.
Men and women are the construction of the world, and many conferences and seminars held not only the Arab region but throughout the world for all topics and international disputes, however, how the dialogue between men and women of most of those who have read my article on the strange creatures women believed that me, is the common enemy of women.
And they are not able to understand that the dialogue between me and women non-existent due to lack of mutual trust between us on any subject, even in the salute bumptious I always tell them, and I am rude in dealing with women, but did not ask me I do this thing?
Same time my friends knowing very well that I always try to not hurt anyone or by disposal of the word possible harms.
And with all of that I'm always accused that I'm the common enemy of women.
I tired because I'm always asked why you single till now? and I have to explain my point that I need to be convinced to dialogue because we are in a time you have agreed with me or you do not agree we don't have LOVE and the LOVE Might be found in the Life museum.
And for your knowledge that I am a human being I loved and I was missing this Love
But I was puzzled by the fact that they - men and women - especially in our society, they were convinced that the idea of the cold war or the idea of war, mainly without the need to call for a dialogue among themselves
Never did find it odd while I'm reading in a book (men from Mars and women from Venus), written by Dr. John Gray, a world expert in the field of communication and relations, did not find it odd to speak of men and women as if they had their two different planets, from, in fact the differences and also differences of men and women demonstrate daily and eternal truth theory.
The book, which sold more than forty million copies worldwide and been met with a positive and explained that women have a particular way to communicate in the way of thinking and emotions and feelings and needs in the reactions in the selection of words and sentences
this way completely different than the same way the Men thinking on it.
But he was able to convey an attractive way for us as reader by information and facts of psychology and sociology romantic manner and method of literary interesting even imagine and we really believe that men and women are from two different planets,
Speaking different languages and need each to the various food and nutrition are different.
Dr. Gray has crafted a literary and in romantic way to imagine the planet Mars and Venus.
Mars, all the population are men,
While the Venus all its population are women.
Through binoculars the Mars population found the beauty of Venus and then they take them space ships and headed a trip to the planet Venus.
Here, the author brings us to live the story of a romantic fantasy.
The people of mars loved the people of Venus a magic love and enjoy all that live in the details of this relationship, and then decided to travel to the Earth, unless the event into account.
In the morning he woke up one day, all unconscious memory and thus have forgotten each others and every one of Earth's population forgotten that he is from a different planet.
The aim of the book, of course, not sure of the difficulty of communication between men and women, but to recognize the imperative need for a common language for dialogue.
While much talk in recent years on the dialogue of civilizations and dialogue with others, organized conferences and seminars and wrote articles that emphasize the importance of Dialogue.
Under the theme of dialogue between spouses or between the world of men and women, despite a marginal significance and seriousness of life in spite of the most important social institution, a smaller the institution of marriage and thus the health of society as a whole.
Although the dialogue between men and women has not lived up to the first level of literacy courses, Illiteracy marriage, Vocabulary and understand the language of the others.
but we did not notice the movement in the Arab world in this area .
We Did not notice the fear that the collapse of the seriousness of the institution of marriage or fail due to lack of proficiency in languages of the parties and not because of their usefulness as some think that the majority believes imagine believes in the futility of this institution and the logical result will inevitably be a negative image unhealthy (increasing the rate of spinsterhood among young people and the increasing divorce rate, and a growing proportion of children orphans, despite the presence of the parents). Consequently, social and mental illness at all levels.
“Espero que con su compromiso y liderazgo, Davos pueda actuar como ya lo ha hecho desde hace cien años, como una fuerza curativa y revitalizante, como una montaña mágica, como un verdadero sanatorio para el mundo, su economía y su sociedad”
Klaus Schwab
Suiza es un país relativamente pequeño ubicado en el centro de Europa occidental cuyo paisaje está enmarcado por los Alpes suizos. Davos se sitúa en lo más alto de los Alpes, es un pequeño pueblo con poco más de once mil habitantes que, desde 1971 ha sido la sede de las reuniones anuales Foro Económico Mundial.
Cada año llegan a este poblado miles de personas que toman parte de este evento que suele durar cuatro o cinco días y que alberga a empresarios, banqueros, políticos y empresarios del más alto nivel en todo el mundo para discutir sobre el estado financiero y económico del mundo.
Bajo el lema “configurando el mundo de la post-crisis” ayer iniciaron formalmente los trabajos de la edición 2009 del Foro cuyo foco de atención es la crisis económica mundial que se vive en la actualidad pero, especialmente se dice que esta vez la reunión tiene como fin principal diseñar estrategias para superar la crisis y la remodelación del mundo posterior a la misma.
Esta reunión ha sido criticada duramente por sus opositores quienes cotidianamente lo catalogan como un “club de ricos”, pero lo que es realmente importante de destacar es que ahí se congregan los más importantes tomadores de decisiones a nivel mundial. Este año simplemente se encuentran registrados para asistir 40 jefes de Estado, (superando los veintitantos que acudieron el año pasado), símbolo de la preocupación que genera la crisis.
En su discurso de apertura del foro Klaus Schwab, fundador y presidente del Foro Económico señaló algo que me parece muy importante resaltar “Todos somos de alguna manera responsables por no reconocer los riesgos de un mundo completamente fuera de equilibrio” una frase que sin duda puede parecer retórica, pero puesta en el contexto completo de su discurso dice mucho: hay mucho por hacer para reconstruir la economía global, una en la que se incluya al mundo en su totalidad.
Entre los objetivos del propio Foro destaca la ambición de iniciar un proceso dentro del mismo que ayude a diseñar nuevos sistemas e instituciones mundiales “que permitan enfrentar los desafíos globales” poniendo –nos dicen- como valores principales la honestidad, la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas.
Sin duda todo suena muy bien, pero lamentablemente es poco lo que en los últimos años se ha hecho por combatir la pobreza a nivel mundial, por cumplir con los compromisos acordados en materia ambiental, por mejorar las condiciones de vida y de trabajo en los países en desarrollo y un largo etcétera, así que creo que de alguna manera debe perdonarse que sea difícil creer que en medio de la crisis o al final de ellas las cosas van a ser distintas.
¿Qué tan factible es que se logre un cambio en las políticas económicas y financieras mundiales?
Lamentablemente la ayuda para el desarrollo seguramente se verá disminuida ahora que los países enfrentan colapsos financieros causados –como el mismo Klaus Schwab admitió en su discurso- por la irresponsabilidad, ambición y falta de ética de muchos; es probable que ahora se impulsen con mayor ahínco reformas a nivel mundial para impulsar una mayor apertura de los mercados emergentes, al mismo tiempo que los países industrializados elaboran políticas aún más proteccionistas y nacionalistas.
Quizá no necesito recordarlo pero las noticias presentadas ayer en distintos medios señalan que la crisis puede llegar a ser aún más grave de lo que se cree. Quizá la cifra más aterrorizante es la dada a conocer por la Organización Internacional del Trabajo que habla de que el índice de desempleados en el mundo podría llegar a 230 millones, lamentablemente los que seguramente se verán más afectados serán los países que, ya de por sí, se encuentran en la pobreza.
Es pronto aún para adelantarme a los resultados, pero me gustaría pensar, por el bien de todos, que de aquí pueden surgir propuestas de soluciones a los problemas y desafíos que enfrenta el mundo desde hace décadas y que, de no solucionarse serán los mismos que heredaremos a las generaciones futuras. Durante los próximos cinco días, las enormes montañas alpinas serán testigos mudos de lo que aquí suceda aunque seguramente no será magia.

Bombs, rockets and artillery shells .. Against whom??
Against unarmed civilians
Against large and small to kill them and kill the rest scared frightened
The move, sheltering from the fire and Charybdis
Every place of the bombing of the exhibition
The bombing led to the elimination of the day, entire families
Today the massacres that has no precedent in modern history
The Arab peoples have not only unable demonstrations
Demonstrations is the language of the people now
Hearts of the people burned the killings, the excessive and brutal,
To the moment of this writing 30% of the victims children under the age of ten
What Israel is doing at this time rooted in the Arab mind the idea of Israeli racism.
I am wondering now where the Peace Now movement and Israeli peace activists Or that now is the time for war and does not override the voice of the war, What is happening now in Gaza is a crime of genocide is a crime in order to kill the children of these atrocities.
If the war was directed to Hamas or the guilt of children and women
Israel , Enough of this barbarity,
Israel , Enough bloodshed,
I need Ehud Barak imagine, one of his sons in place of one of the young men who were martyred What would be his reaction?
What is happening in Gaza, ending the idea of psychological acceptance of the other in this case, the other is a cold-blooded killer of children and women
And will not be able to Arab intellectuals, or peace activists to speak anymore about peace and accepting the other
Is this what Israel wants??!!
from other side i am thinking about
What we must look to here??
To recall the Egyptian Ambassador from Tel Aviv,
life will not stop there, and that the moratorium on the export of gas will not lead Israel to its knees on her, "What is needed is not the knees, and stop the movement of life in the Tel Aviv, and we can not , in practice, to do so, but the whole objective is that they understand, and understand others in the world that we are able to do something, especially if this thing will be delivers us from this sense of helplessness!
The Sense of disability in this case is the inability to provide immediate alternative available, the most serious, and that the provision of this alternative, which is in our hand, this will raise us «sense» that haunts every citizen, everywhere in Cairo
BUT I will Never Ever be Disabile and I wil never ever me and all the Youth in Arab World feel the Disability
Raise us this sense of helplessness, even if the outcome is just a sense that we all did what we must do, regardless of the type of result to be achieved on the ground,
What is required is a mere waste of sense!
It is not true, that the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, they are in our hands to this point
And to the right, that Egypt had what you can do on the ground, if it were, from the recall of our ambassador from Tel Aviv, and the end of the Egyptian government's compliance with the rule of the judiciary, not to export gas to Israel.
thir is Somthing Missing , BUt Still I have Hope and never ever any one will sttop me dreaming in PEACE
Last week, during the visit of U.S. President George W. Bush to Iraq to sign security agreement by a reporter President Bush threw his shoes
First I am against this arrogance that the reaction of this despicable act against humanity of the U.S. President even if the treatment resulted in a series of resolutions critical of the disaster is not only the Arab nation and even around the world.
and her in the Arab region we don't know the Dissimilarity culture always we attributed each other Always at different points of view with the other other half being an agent OR a traitor.
In fact we find that against Islamic religious principles and which we are Proud everywhere
In any Difference the world must see that we civilized nation but unfortunately they see us a dying nation as a result of our actions And the simplest example of this is our actions in the street with each other or the actions of presidents and kings in the meetings of Arab Summit.
This incident became the talk of the town on all Arab street in every wher in cafes, homes and offices of officials who saw the Zaidi .. hero deserves the Medal of Honor in Libya, and the issue of journalists and lawyers associations and the movie calls for his release. But all this has not prevented us from Crushed, beaten and harm at the hands of the Iraqi police are here ... and see the difference!
the Arab nation Forget the current and future issues , the transformation of the inability to real confrontation of the problems and calamities to the kind of childish revenge, it becomes a hit on Balhmae Scruff or a substitute for prompt action that achieves victory or bringing humiliation and defeat
Most governors and presidents and politicians in democratic countries, approaching people and mingled with them. They are often the waves of anger, and we have to ask ourselfs Why did not any jornalist such as al-Zaidi did in the presence of Saddam Hussein is alive as example and not do after his execution in his photo and same time Let us recall what happened with President Sarkozy when brushed by one of the villagers to visit the agricultural show in France, to whom the offensive word. Reciprocate Sarkozy for the individual and ended up as reported by newspapers .. extraordinary event.
The inability to act, and for taking critical positions and take responsibility, but to chat and Joking and ridicule of ourselves and others, are the weapons of destruction that we have deterrence against those who disagree with them I think it was better if the Iraqi Jornalist asked about Bush's bold embarrassing for the overall crimes in Iraq and why Boukte finally admitted its war against Iraq based on false information The joy of the Arab peoples by Zaidi may take a some days.
But sadness of Iraq and the Arab nation will continue for decades and generations Because we humiliate ourselves And do not create our personality to the world And not think about the future or the future of generations will come However, we have established and our inability to deal with the problems that we have same time we harness from the developed world and we did not take any plan to the advancement and progress and we are working for talks, ridiculous and insulting humanitarian We must blame ourselves before blaming others and recognize that we are against President George W. Bush but not against the George W. Bush the human
Hello My Freinds,
let us start and say the Creative as a prerequisite to innovation ,The terms creativity and innovation are often used to mean the thing, but each has a unique connotation.
the real thing for tha is Alex Agenda Creativity - is “the ability to bring something new into existence. This definition emphasizes the “ability”, not the “activity”, of bringing something new into existence.
Innovation - is the process of doing new thing.
and when we see togther that in Alexandria more than 25 culture center may be more beside all the other culture events in this city I have a great friend most of us knew him Mr.Ahmed Essmat.
he creat& Innovate a new thing which is Alex Agenda he issue this Agenda each Month and collect all the culture events in ALexandria
as acadimic words we can say It is important to recognize that innovation implies action, not just conceiving new ideas. When people have passed through the illumination and verification stages of creativity, they may have become inventors, but they are not yet innovators.
and the difference between invention and innovation is:
Invention - is the creation of new products, processes, and technologies not previously known to exist.
Innovation - is the transformation of creative ideas into useful applications by combining resources in new or unusual ways to provide value to society for or improved products, technology, or services Alex Agenda is a real sample for that.
Elements in the Innovation Process
Analytical Planning - to identify: product design, market strategy, financial need
Organizing Resources - to obtain: materials, technology, human resources, capital
Implementation - to accomplish: organization, product design, manufacturing, services
Commercial Application - to provide: value to customers, reward of employees, revenues for investors, satisfaction for founders
Ahmed and All Alex Agenda teram You are a very Exellant Model for Entrepreneurship and all what
I need is just creat Indepandant website for Alex Agenda this Website will updated each month as
I think same time you can put it in all Information centers in EU Countries and I'm sure one day I will see Egypt Agenda as a Project created by Ahmed Essamt I'm sure may be you think about that.
Waiting for your comment my Friends
Sus ojos grandes me miran asustados, como si hubiera hecho la peor pregunta del mundo. Kara le explica la razón de mi pregunta y parece calmarse un poco. Su cabello ensortijado lo ha peinado con cortas trenzas que sujeta con hilos de un anaranjado chillante. Sólo porque me ha dicho su edad puedo creer que tenga quince años, a simple vista podría pasar por una niña de doce.
Aminata no es su nombre real, ella no quiere que lo utilice y yo respeto su decisión “llámame Aminata” dice y así lo hago. Nació en la República Democrática del Congo (llamado antes Congo Belga y después Zaire), uno de los países más pobres del África Subsahariana y en el que los conflictos violentos parecen una historia de nunca acabar.
¿Dónde está tu familia?
Da un largo suspiro, baja la cabeza y me cuenta “Hace seis años mi padre me vendió con un traficante. En una familia con cinco hijas perder a una de ellas no es algo muy grave” A sus nueve años Aminata no alcanzó a comprender el cambio tan radical que tendría su vida. Las niñas en muchos países del África Subsahariana son vendidas a bandas de traficantes que pagan por ellas 15, 30 ó 40 dólares a sus familias, “no sé nada de ellos desde entonces”
¿Cómo llegaste a Grecia?
“Me llevaron en la parte trasera de un camión donde iba con otras cuatro niñas, yo creo que tenían más o menos mi edad. La segunda noche de aquel viaje los traficantes me violaron, se turnaron y luego me dijeron que era para que aprendiera de una vez lo que iba a ser mi trabajo”
Su viaje fue largo, durmiendo en camiones a veces con otras niñas, a veces sólo con adultos. Aminata, como muchos miles de niños fue utilizada en “rituales sexuales”, espectáculos organizados en países del norte de África donde turistas de Europa y Estados Unidos pagan hasta mil dólares de entrada por ver y “participar” en la violación de niñas, muchas de ellas tan pequeñas como era ella.
Situada en la Península Balcánica, Grecia tiene como vecinos a Albania, Bulgaria y Macedonia en el norte, a Turquía en el este y en el oeste y sur del país bañan sus playas las aguas del mar Jónico y del Mediterráneo. En Atenas, la capital, el sol brilla y la gente camina por doquier, turistas y locales se arremolinan en la calle Ermón, una de las más importantes de la ciudad.
Para llegar a Acrópolis hay que subir la colina por un camino empedrado para visitar los tres edificios más importantes que son: el Partenon, el Erecteión y el Templo de Atenea Niké.
Construido mayoritariamente en mármol blanco, durante el transcurso de su historia, el Partenón ha sido utilizado como iglesia bizantina, iglesia latina y convertido por los turcos en mezquita muslumana. En 1687 los turcos utilizaron el lugar como un depósito de pólvora y durante un ataque veneciano una bomba cayó encima destruyendo una gran parte del edificio.
Finalmente en el siglo XIX el embajador británico en Constantinopla Lord Elgin robó la mayor parte de las esculturas y adornos más importantes y los vendió al Museo Británico donde actualmente continúan en exhibición, algo que ya mencionábamos en el blog anterior.
Lo que no les dije fue que visto desde “dentro” el Partenón es aún más hermoso. Las columnas de mármol se levantan imponentes bajo un cielo azul casi sin nubes. En el suelo del antiguo edificio se encuentran pedazos sin forma, decenas de ellos que seguramente hace cientos de años formaron columnas iguales a las que hoy todavía siguen en pie. Lamentablemente el friso está parcialmente destruido y otra buena parte de lo que sobrevive se encuentra también en el Museo Británico.
Grecia, cuna de civilizaciones, un lugar que desde niña quise visitar. Llegué aquí en un vuelo de Olympic Airways y Atenas es mi puerto de arribo. Con un clima agradable, templado casi todo el año, playas y monumentos históricos y culturales esparcidos por toda la ciudad, Atenas es sin duda un destino sin igual.
Si te gusta caminar seguro te gustará Atenas con sus calles limpias y callejones empedrados, plazoletas y ruinas, eso si, ve preparado con un par de zapatos cómodos y mucha buena disposición pues a los griegos les simpatizan los mexicanos por lo que si te preguntan si eres mexicano y dices que si, querrán hacerte la plática por un buen rato hablando de las “muchas similitudes” entre los griegos y los mexicanos. Algo que también abunda en esta ciudad son los gatos, los hay por decenas rondando las calles y trepando a los templos y esculturas.
Es de noche cuando bajo del autobús y camino un par de cuadras hasta el hostal en que me hospedaré. Tiene una vista excelente: la Acrópolis totalmente iluminada.
Acrópolis es como se nombraba a la parte alta de las ciudades en las civilizaciones antiguas. Fue construida en los años 400 a.C. y una buena parte de sus edificaciones sobrevive en la actualidad. Entrar en ella es transportarse a un pasado muy lejano.
“La guerra en Irak ha terminado, las tropas regresan inmediatamente” . En Afganistán e Irak salen por miles a las calles a festejar el fin de la guerra y las tropas estadounidenses vuelven a casa dejando en manos de los llamados “cascos azules” de Naciones Unidas las labores de reconstrucción y mantenimiento de la paz en ambos países. “Dos millones de iraquíes exiliados y tres millones de desplazados se preparan para volver a casa”.
¿Qué te parecería leer eso en uno de los diarios más importantes de Estados Unidos? Pues bajo este encabezado fue que ayer se distribuyeron en la ciudad de Nueva York aproximadamente 1.2 millones de ejemplares del “New York Times” de la edición del 4 de Julio de 2009. Lamentablemente no eran más que buenas intenciones. Este falso New York Times fue elaborado por un grupo denominado “The Yes Men”, un grupo liberal conocido en Estados Unidos por realizar este tipo de “bromas”, que además asegura que les llevó más de seis meses elaborar este trabajo y el trabajo de cientos de voluntarios.
Los autores inclusive modificaron el slogan del diario que suele decir “Todas las noticias que merecen imprimirse” por el de “Todas las noticias que deseamos imprimir”. En el New York Times por el momento no han señalado que tipo de medidas habrán de tomar por la realización de esta falsificación.
