how much do you know about the world war 2 and its consequences on society ?

The Second World War was arguably the most significant period of the 20th century. It brought about major leaps in technology and laid the groundwork that permitted post-war social changes including the end of European colonialism, the civil rights movement in the United States, and the modern women’s rights movement, as well as the programs for exploring outer space. The primary combatants were the Axis nations (Nazi Germany, Facist Italy, Imperial Japan and their smaller allies) and the Allied nations, led by Britain (and its Commonwealth nations), the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the United States of America. The Allies were the victors. Two superpowers, the USA and USSR, emerged from World War II to begin a Cold War with each other that would define much of the rest of the century.
Asking when World War II began is a good way to start a long and passionate debate. Some say it was simply a continuation of the First World War that had theoretically ended in 1918. Others point to 1931, when Japan seized Manchuria from China. Italy’s invasion and defeat of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) in 1935, Adolf Hitler’s re-militarization of Germany’s Rhineland in 1936, the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), and Germany’s occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1938 are sometimes cited. The two dates most often mentioned as "the beginning of World War II" are July 7, 1937, when the "Marco Polo Bridge Incident" led to a prolonged war between Japan and China, and September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland, which led Britain and France to declare war on Hitler’s Nazi state in retaliation. From the invasion of Poland until the war ended with Japan’s surrender in August 1945, multiple nations were at war with each other, some fighting for the ultimately victorious Allies, some for the Axis.

Educational issues in Morocco

I have seen this video five time until now and I really feel so sorry for our schools in Morocco .

This is just one example from Laayoun , and I wanna thank this gentelman for the video that he posted . So at the beginning I can say that everybody knows that education is vital in our life , Yet , in our country students face and suffer from different issues . But the question is " What does education means ? "
Education is somthing that started from childhood inside the family , and carry on till the school . In addition I wanna show that the role of family's education is the base in oder to make a responsible person that he can respect the materials of his school . In my opinion we should not blame the Goverment about the tables that are broken , and uncomfortable . The responsability is for those people who do not respect their school's materials , and they do not well educate in their childhood . However , the Goverment should find some solution for where the students can spend their spare time , and also , the library should e opened at least one library in each school . Moreover , the playground should be large as well as the classroom , also the destiary should be present in any shcool , so as to avoid changing the clothes in open-air .
Due to the long distance , some students use bicycles , and they park it anywhere because there is no parking , then I think that the NGOS must give help by providing  means of transport , making a parking , or building an accommodation of students  for protecting them from droping out school .
        In brief , I hope that these idias will be implimented  so that the students can enjoy all of their rights and I wish that all the Moroccans people will know what's a citizenship , then we can say that we are really developing in our mind by serving our community .

Lesane Parish Crooks

2pac shakur was an american rapper . his public career started when he joined the seminal bay area rap ensemble . from there he released a couple albums and then was offered to be in some movies . More peaple were influenced to buy his CD . Peaple listened to the music and did what he said he did . So , Tupac was influencing all of these people , he was not racist against any body . He was not a normal man . He tried to send massages to the youth’s that listened and still do listen to his music like me . He showed his real self through his interviews music videos, movies . He showed his views on the world unlike most other rap artists . He was one of the most influential persons in the 20th century America. And I believe he will be remembered and loved by a lot for years to come. I chose to do my article on Tupac not only because he is my favorite musician but he stood for a change for the better of society which he spoke of in numerous songs. There are plenty of rappers now but all they do is brag about their possessions he strived to change the world for the better for all people no matter the race, sex, or age and many things he talked about in his music have happened since his death there will never be another musician like him .                       this is one of my best songs of him

Global Warming

     Since I've not seen any of science-life related articles(paragraphs)  I decided to come up with one and I hope you guys like it.

             Global warming is the increase of world's average temperature, mainly in the sector of atmosphere, seas and the land on Earth. here are three serious factor, namely the crack on the lower part of atmosphere, pollution on Earth an so many green houses. The first factor is on the atmosphere. Recent years, many researches show that atmosphere has some kind of crack because of the heat from sun's emission. The layer of atmosphere seems can not take the heat anymore. The crack gets larger as the sun-ray holds in the atmosphere as there are gases as what it seems to be the cause. This second factor, pollution, takes its toll as the one which makes the sun-ray stuck n the atmosphere. These gases are very thick that even the sun-ray can not get through it, or at least it is hard to do it. The third factor is that the green houses, reflected the sun-ray that supposed to be stayed on Earth sending the sun-ray back to space, but remember though, there is the gases that block the process of sending away the sun-ray. If the green houses don't stop being built, that will just be a helpful tool to make the atmosphere and our Earth worst. From these explanations, details and examples, my conclusion is that someone has got to do something and not just keep inventing new technology or fancy factories because what we need now is not something that can make life easier but something that can decrease the temperature.

I’m confused since I have been told to write a post , I always have a lot of subjects to talk about , but suddenly all my ideas have been purchased from my head . i have been looking for hours and hours about a topic , but I did not want to talk about things that we already heard about a thousand of times from medias , and school . I want to talk about something that we don’t have the opportunity to share our ideas about , something that we do not hear often by a nineteen years old girl . As I said , before I came out with this idea I found nothing but a huge hole in my head , it’s like if I was a DEMENTOR’s victim ( this dark creature from HARRY POTTER , who swallow all positive thoughts and ideas from human soul ) , but then I gave a look around me in the street and I was like ‘wow … it’s crazy how everyone looks different! ’

Some people look expensive , and some I won’t say poor , but I will rather say middle class people . some look happy and some look like they are facing all the problems in the world . Some girls and boys are pretty and seem to have a great self esteem , and some are living in a bubble thinking that beauty is how the person looks not what she is from inside . Some are wealthy and when you talk to them you come to know that something is missing in their life , and some have this something but not a lot of money .

So I thought a lot about what should I call what I saw , what should we call these upside-downs that we see in the world ? I finally summed up with the word ‘ irony ’ , I think  we should call this ‘irony of life’.

Have you ever had this feeling that life plays you tricks ?

Sometimes you feel that you’re the happiest person in the earth , and all this happiness could be taken from you by sudden . it’s like if this happiness was just a short illusion .

The first trick was with Adam and Eve , I wonder how life would be if Adam has not bitten the apple. They say that woman screwed up this time like she does in every time , but even if Eve was not there, soon or later he could have done that . 

You know why?

Because this is our nature , this is the nature of human being , we like all forbidden things , we want to try it and see why it’s prohibited . but trying this gives us just this short illusion that I talked about . like for example drugs , some persons know that it’s bad for all reasons and although this , they still want to try it .

Still and all , the first trick where Adam and Eve failed , is the reason why we leaved heaven . the reason why we live in this irony . In matter of fact , life is like hell , it’s burning you as you start realizing what happens in the world . but anyway we don’t know if we will go to heaven or hell , so we better fight while we’re living in that world and have a little experience in this virtual hell so that we get ourselves ready in case if we go to the real one .

What I want to say , is that we meant to live like that , not everyone has what he really wants . no one is fully happy in his life , and if he tells you so , he is surely lying . But what we should do is keep holding on our optimism , hopping that one day we could have what we ask from life , but for that we should not just sit there and not doing anything but hoping . we should work on this , do our best to reach our goals or at least some of them .

 “Dream big!
But not so big that it becomes a mess, and you may never reach reality.” 

This sentence helped me to understand a lot of things , helped me to realize what I’m up to , and pushed me to change the way I was thinking . because of this sentence I learned to love what I have and dream of realistic things that I could reach by my own.

You see , when you start to be thankful for what you have , and to love what you are , in this time I swear life will seem to you as your own paradise . 

"The impossible" is a 2012 disaster drama movie. It illustrates the true story of a family's survival journey facing the awful tragedy of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. A Christmas vacation trip to Khao Lak in Thailand turns into a life danger and a fight for survival for three children and their parents, who try to make it through alongside the rest of the tourists and the poor residents of these series of villages. The movie teaches the audiences a priceless lesson about humanity, love ,sacrifice, hope , and strength. Starring Naomi watts and Ewan McGregor and directed by Juan Antonio Bayona, "The impossible" is a heartbreaking masterpiece with incredible CGI (computer generated imagery) and astonishing performances. It's definitely one of the finest products in the film making industry.

Ebolamania?

Sam P.K. Collins, my former schoolmate, was featured on HuffPost Live (a U.S. news source) after researching reactions to the Ebola outbreak in the United States. Since every country is approaching the epidemic differently, I thought I would share. Click on the link and you can watch the video.

Feel free to post any thoughts!

Selfies at the Hajj and Social Media in General

What did you guys think of the videos shown in class? Do you agree with their opinions on the use of selfies and social media?

***Do you take selfies? If so, why? Do you take them with just yourself or other people?

Eid Al-Adha

The second week of class I asked you to write about Eid Al-Adha, specifically about experiences during Eid. Below is an article taken from CNN to tell someone who knows nothing about Eid about the holiday.

What aspects of the article would you change, add, or remove to give someone who has no idea a clear picture of the holiday and why it is so important?

(CNN) -- Five things to know about Eid al-Adha:

1. Considered one of Islam's revered observances, the four-day religious holiday corresponds with the height of the Hajj -- the pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia that annually draws 2 million Muslims.

2. Eid al-Adha commemorates when God appeared to Abraham -- known as Ibrahim to Muslims -- in a dream and asked him to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience. As Abraham was about to sacrifice his son, God stopped him and gave him a sheep to kill in place of his son. A version of the story also appears in the Torah and in the Bible's Old Testament.

3. Pronounced EED al-UHD-huh, the holiday begins Friday and ends Monday -- the last day of the Hajj. Eid al-Adha is also known as the Feast of Sacrifice or Greater Eid. It is the longer of two Eid holidays observed by Muslims. Eid al-Fitr -- or Little Eid -- follows the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan.

4. During Eid al-Adha, many Muslim families sacrifice a sheep and share the meat with the poor. They also are required to donate to charities that benefit the poor. Muslims also routinely exchange presents during the holiday.

5. Eid Mubarak (pronounced EED muh-BAR-ack) and Eid Saeed are routine greetings used during the observance to offer best wishes.
