Rude and crude

the link



In this article the writer is talking about how people are becoming more rude and less polite in several ways, and she also gives some examples of that In a survey in ABC news, 78% of American say they encounter loud cell phone chatting, and 75% percent hear it often, but the main problem is to say bad words loudly, or even to talk in the cinema theater. She also gives some other examples, about how people are not polite and when she asked them why they said there is not much time to be polite.



What I think is that it is a problem of religion, and in Islam the profit Mohammad told Muslims that politeness is a very important issue and even in Christianity. So it is not about etiquette or what ever it is about believing in something.

The link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3618190.stm>the link

In the opening of IKEA stores in the west of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Jeddah city more than 8000 people has gathered near the store for the $150 or 500 RS, IKEA opened the doors at 9:00 am one hour before the scheduled time, because of the large number of people who gather in front of the store. And when the crowed begin to enter the shop in huge numbers the, security couldn't control them and because of that one Saudi man and also a Pakistani where crushed. The new IKEA is now 200% bigger than the old store.

Conclusion: the reason that they didn't succeed the shop successfully:
1- They did not do any survey on the consumer behavior.
2- The opened the store before the scheduled time when the should not open it at all because of the crude.
3- The store was very small and the population of Jeddah is very high and that mean that the store planning was vary bad.
4- The security forces were not enough to control the crude.

Illinois Amish…

In this report we will talk about Amish in the state of Illinois, who they are, and a little bit about there history, and some other interesting things about their.

First, the history of Illinois Amish Country's surrounding Amish settlement, established in 1865 by a handful of families, has grown to over 3,000 members, but that is only about the Illinois Amish and now we will talk more about the Amish in general and in but from an Illinois Amish. The Amish Faith had its start in Switzerland and was founded by Jacob Ammon. He and a small number of people became dissatisfied with the worldliness of the parent Mennonite Church. It was their wish to live a more strict and simple life; therefore they formed together as a group who rejected wars, materialism and frivolity. Early Mennonites came to America to seek religious freedom in 1632. They settled in Pennsylvania and were divided into two groups. The "Church Amish" favored a central church building; the other group known as "House Amish" favored holding services in a home. The Amish in our area are "House Amish." The first Amish family came to Arthur in 1865. There are 22 church districts in this locality which covers an area of approximately twelve miles East and West, and 15 miles North and South with Arthur in the center of the settlement....

Second, what do Amish wear? The Amish dress is simple with the men wearing dark colored high vests over home-made shirts, collarless coats fastened with hooks and eyes. They have their hair cut in a "Dutch Bob." Their men wear beards, but the young Amish shave until they are married. The Amish women dress simply with plain ankle length dresses, black stockings and flat shoes. In the cold months, they wear black wool shawls. Their heads have a covering or white prayer cap which is worn inside the home or during church services, and wear a black bonnet when outside. The girls dress like their mothers with the exception of the prayer caps which they do not wear until they have joined church

Next, in this part we will explain how Amish their business and how they work. The Amish work rich farmland of the area with teams of six to eight horse hitches, and the Amish ' horse-drawn, black buggies are a common sight around the Amish country.The downtown business districts are filled with a variety of gift shops, fine clothing stores, unique craft shops, furniture shops and several restaurants. The surrounding countryside is dotted with many Amish shops, as well as a major theme park, Rockome Gardens. Rockome features attractive flower and rock gardens, gift shops, and other activities. Industry also thrives in the area with many reasons for businesses and business-people to find Arthur an attractive place to establish a presence. With a strong work force and a healthy economic climate, the Amish country is a great place to live and a great place to work!

Gay Gene


the link


this link is talking about: The Gay Gene: Assertions, Retractions, and Controversy I will explain this report in the same orderliness.. First, The introduction: he talked about Homosexuality and the rights of homosexuals, because he said that there is nothing that can prove that in the scientific way so that means that homosexuality can not get the rights to get married and other rights but he also said that we don’t know what the future can tell us; yes they did not find any thing that can prove that homosexual is genetic, but if they find that it is there, then that means that parents might elect to insert a heterosexual gene into their child or abort the child altogether. In the years from 1991 and the gays are forcing the media and seem to have a life of their own. Second, Preliminary Findings: in 1991 Simon LeVay from Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego found that there is a difference between heterosexual and homosexual young men brains, he says that the cluster of neurons known as INAH 3 in the hypothalamus were reduced in size in homosexual men, much to the same degree that the same group of neurons is reduced in women. On the other hand there was a problem with this discovery that LaVay himself is a homosexual and has lost his partner because of AIDS. The most important paper that reported on the (gay gene) was from Hamer et al. from NCI in the July 19, 1993 .Hamer reported that the linkage translated to a “99.5% certainty that there is a gene (or genes) in this area of the X chromosome that predisposes a male to become a heterosexual”. Next, media response: Newsweek was the first to talk about this issue .Hamer reported that the linkage translated to a “99.5% certainty that there is a gene (or genes) in this area of the X chromosome that predisposes a male to become a heterosexual”. After that USA Today talked about it, and it was the first newspaper to talk about it. Soon the Time magazine talked about it. In the Time article, some anti-gay activists liken the ‘homosexuality gene’ to other genetic links that society finds undesirable, such as “mental and physical illness.” Also, Reed Irvine of the watchdog group Accuracy in Media says, “It’s a little more complicated than a hereditary factor. The media have given zero attention to the many, many homosexuals who have gone straight. I think it’s sending the gays the wrong message to say that you cannot change because it’s something your genes have determined” (Henry, 1993). The pro-gay organizations had mixed feelings: on the one hand, knowing that sexual orientation is pre-determined gives homosexuals some relief from blame – from society, their parents, or themselves – but at the same time there is something to be said about the concept of their sexuality being thought of as a genetic ‘disease.’ In this manner they could be ostracized even more. Next, Problems Arise and Confusion Remains: The year 1995 marked beginning of the end of optimism for chromosome Xq28 as an indicator of male homosexuality. LeVay’s findings, the article reports, “have yet to be fully replicated by another researcher” (Horgan, 1995). Also, one study contradicted Hamer’s results and Scientific American reported that he had “been charged with research improprieties and is now under investigation by the Federal Office of Research Integrity,” which was basically a result of his excluding “pairs of brothers whose genetic makeup contradicted his finding” (Horgan, 1995). Another study by George Ebers and George Rice in 1995 indicated that “there is no reason to focus linkage studies on the X chromosome” and that there is “no evidence that gayness is passed from mother to son”. Finally, in 1999, George Rice and George Ebers found that their results “do not support an X-linked gene underlying male homosexuality”. Last,

Conclusion: In my opinion I think that the government should not give this any rights because it will make other people who have some other problems say that this is their right, for example People who take drugs. And if the governments open this door they won't be able to close it and the biggest example of that is Netherlands, where every thing is legal. And even after that there is a big percentage of suicide, so that means that even after they toke what they say that is their rights the didn't become happy! And they will not and never be happy if they go against nature.

Polygamy
the link



This links talk about polygamy, polygamy means that that one person has more than one spouse, There are two types of polygamy one is when a man married more than a women, and the other is polyandry, where a woman marries more than one man. After that it says that The Qur’an is the only religious scripture in the world that says, "marry only one". But later after that the Hindu priests and the Christian Church restricted the number of wives to one. And after that it says that Hindu people Hindus are more polygynous than Muslims, where in Islam the Qur’an permits limited polygyny, than it talks about Average life span of females is more than that of males and also that India has more male population than female due to female feticide and infanticide and that is not just in India but in all the world where the population of women is more than men. And last restricting each and every man to have only one wife is not practical will be a problem because if all the men in the U.S will get married there will be almost thirty million women not married.

Conclusion: the numbers say that the some men should get married to other women so every women will be married in this world and this is not just what Quran says it is also what scenic people believe in.
