Roots Matter

I have made a response to my respected colleague Tiffany Acker’s article/blog stage 7 (No More Kings).

I do agree with my colleague that gun violence has been a big problem in U.S. 2nd amendment states that, “Being necessary to the security of the free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” Putting restrictions will violet this amendment, and to stop violation we would need a new amendment. Along with that, we should not put restrictions because slowly these restrictions will become so many that only certain people will remain to bear arms, which will lead the government to be more powerful over its people. As a result we will fallback in history when kings have all power. The U.S has a great history of events, and we can use that content in today’s generation to solve a problem instead of repeating history. Likewise, police officers have been in an act of shooting innocent people because of false alarm. Should we also take their weapons away? I don’t agree with this because a threat can occur anytime, and we will be helpless. We can make changes in the training process and improve the situation. Improvement is always better than starting from scratch. People become mentally ill when society doesn’t accept them. In the recent decade, many shootings were done by mentally ill students and they become more  ill when we treat them different from rest. The environment has a great impact on our daily life it shapes us and gives us 6th sense of social life. One of a great physiologist Chris Germer gave the theory that, “the more you think about not stressing, you will end up stressing yourself even more.” In his book Mindfulness and Self-Compassion. The more we treat them different the more different they will become.

            I do share the common thought with her about schools needs to educate about social and emotional experiences. I can say that these classes might not do a lot, but it can do the small change. In the east, we have a compulsory class throw out our school life about respect and behavior. Some of my values I carry today are from that class. They teach us never disrespect anyone older than you because they have wisdom of age, and love those who are younger then you, knowledge might get you to places but you will find wisdom in respect. Never hurt women or a child even in conditions of war.

Prospective

      We live in a society where an individual has the power to think to speak and to stand for what’s not right. U.S.A has a great history of revolution and many achievements. Throw out its history I have witness the change in sense of taking in information or in people’s mindset in U.S. I have lived more than my half-life in East and have seemed the U.S from outside and from past few years I have seen inside of U.S learning about how and what people think about rest of the world. In U.S constitution there is a document called alienated rights which explains the rights of every person is born with, but why is that only applied in the U.S. since it says every person is born with these rights.
       U.S has the negative review in the eastern world, because of U.S technique of divide and role. In late 90’s U.S wanted to sign a deal with Kuwait for oil trade but Kuwait dined the deal and said won’t sign anything with the U.S. In eastern history Books it said that U.S aid Saddam Hussain to come in power and then helped him to attacked Kuwait this action is known as (The Gulf War). In order to gain oil from Kuwait, the U.S played a dirty game in which almost 10-12,000 people died. Women were raped children were murdered. Saddam had given arms to immature children ages between 20 to 25 who they call their soldiers. Later on, U.S offered protection to Kuwait they will provide protection in return Kuwait will give oil to the U.S for certain years. This is only one of those deals the U.S has made with Dirty games. Can we live on that misery of those innocent lives that were taken just for oil? People talk about how the great U.S is but no one sees how it got there.
     According to U.S constitution, people have right to speak of free will and to protest against what’s not right. It stopped Vietnam war. Then why did no one stand up for those innocent lives? I feel like U. S is like it’s history when segregation was legal but it had to be Equal but was it really equal? The U.S has segregated itself from the world. I can see its human nature to push back someone in terms of being number one. The U.S is a great country but as an individual. we might look at a number and say its  6 but the person on other side will say its 9. If one is right that doesn't make the other person wrong.

I have made a response to Robert Tolan my colleague's blog stage 5("

Technological advancement"

). I do respect his point of view, but I have a different prospective on this issue.

      

I do understand that technology has created distance between families and friends. Along with that, it has also been a major platform where today’s generation gets exposed a lot of stuff they should not be, but we should not ignore the fact that technology has also helped human kind to live easy life. we cannot blame the technology for our problems. We have developed this mindset that if something happens we will find the source of it and then we will put all the blame on it. I believe its us who has created these situations. We don’t give our family face, or in-person time and human interaction creates a 6^th sense of socializing which helps a person to grow with society. We are living in a society where we do not even attended calls no more we just tell people to text us so we do not feel obligated to talk. we need to change our attitude around  us to bring a change in our society.

Standing up for whats right

An anonymous letter that has been causing chaos across Internet from past few weeks and developing fear in Muslim communities all over the globe. In New-YorkTimes Yonette Joseph writes, “'Punish a Muslim Day’ Letter Rattle U.KCommunities.” He talks about London Government received a letter full with hatred against Muslim community it says, “[Muslims] have hurt you, [Muslims] have made your loved ones suffer.” Provoking hate in such way will trigger many people who has lost someone or who simply hates Muslims, because of the image media has created in last few decades. Not knowing the truth about their doubts and misunderstanding will cause rise in crime. Further letter mentions, “Are you a sheep like a vast majority… those who would like nothing more than to do us harm,” the writer of this letter is using peoples fear and angry to turn into a war. So far no action has taken place Muslim family are scare to go out on their given day

April the 3^rd, they call it punish a Muslim day. Which is not an official day yet, but it already has caused a lot of trouble and due to this letter youngster might take some actions against Muslims because the letter provokes to give points to person who will harass. It even goes very far as killing a person. I think I understand why media has not showed or talked about this letter they might trying to stop the message to get forward but questions comes if media cares so much why don’t just take the letter down and what will U.S.A government will do to protect U.S Muslim citizens and will there be action taken against this in U.S to protect the first Amendment of its citizen to have freedom of religion. We all have seen history. Hate doesn’t bring peace. It has never happened that darkness is ended by darkness it is always the light that put end to darkness. We should put humanity before religion because world needs to grow not to fall back. We are the people to bring change and to be the generation that stands to support globe peace.

Title X a new future

Health has been a major issue in United States specially S.T. D’s and abortions by last few decades. In the article “The Trump Administration’s Backwards AttitudeTowards Birth Control” by The Editorial Board in New-York time talks about the progress made by Valerie Huber, “a longtime advocate of abstinence until-marriage-education programs” introduces the Title C program in which public will be provided grants for testing for STD’s and possible less harmful abortion for woman. This is the very first thing I liked about trumps administration, because it helps a child to grow in a stable family where he/she can grow with both parents. It is easy to say that we don’t support abortion it is murder and etc. but when tables turn and you are the one who is on point to get an unplanned child the world goes upside down for you, because you have school, you are not ready yet, you cant afford your child. Thousand things can happen, and you will end up choosing abortion for an unborn child. Title X will help to support those unplanned child’s and push abstinence of intercourse before marriage which will help to prevent STD’s and will help to build a healthy future.

“Ms. Coleman called the move a ‘direct assault’ on family planning providers and ‘without a doubt the most deliberate to upend contraceptive access for low income people.’” It will cost a little to government’s budget revenue which some people might not like but on the same time one step closer to better future. If we have health we have a future, because we can have built money again a life can not be brought back once it’s gone.

      We live in a world, where we create the monsters and then pretend that we need protection and we are not safe anywhere. Along with that, we have developed a nature of blame when we can't fight back with our own monsters we start blaming government they are not doing their job, but are we doing our job. In "I'm a Campus Sexual Assault Activist. It's Time to Re-imagine How We Punish Sex Crimes," by Sofie Karasek in New-york times she makes an argument that it's time to push back sex crimes by sharing her personal experience and through ‘Campus sexual assault movement,' where government and educational institutes provide protection to students for save and healthy environment and to provide quick actions against the criminal.
     Doing all this is great, but every story has two different and opposite side just know there is the crime and we have to fight is one part, and the other half is in dark shadows where these crimes are born. Everyone wants to spread light but no one is interested where does darkness come from. Karasek mentions that "the University of Arizona, Mary Koss, who did groundbreaking work on campus rape in the 1980s, piloted a program called Restore that uses a framework in which the harm-doer takes responsibility for what happened and a formal plan is developed for the person to make amends and change his behavior." Past president did provide grants for such program and provided support, but current president canceled the grants for further help. We will think what kind of president is that why he did that. However, he won the majority of votes from us he is there to represent us we elected him so we do not have right to say why he did that. He did that because we supported him and helped him to reach that point.
      Things like rape or sexual assault have become a strong tree with deep roots and it will exist to its longest term until we burn down the roots. It is not about black, it is not about white or brown nor male or female. It is about the environment we have grown and live in. We are exposed to nudity in very young age now day's children have accesses to Internet and porn sites, which manipulates children to develop sexual frustration, which compiles and gets thicker by the time and later result in committing the crime like rape. Of course, cutting the tree will help but the roots will always be there until be burn them down. It will be hard but it is not impossible.

In today’s world, technology has become one of the most common gizmo for communication and storing data online, but is our data really source on internet in “Scam hijacks Google Chrome browser, tries to get your personal data” by Brooke Crothers in Foxnews he talks about scams that hijack google chrome. It starts with a fake dialog box which shows an error afterwards when you take an action against it. It triggers unresponsive reaction on computer, which cause operating system to become unstable.

After malicious code takes over your computer, it pops up a dialog box for fake warning to trick user to fall for it, and make you take to someone who pretends to be working with company and trying to help you. If they convince you to give them your passwords and even your finical information. Hijacker rob you and you give them all information without even knowing it in latterly words its called cyber-crime. For intense, if these hijackers got successful in taking down one of government computer they can take out government documents and publish them in public. Recently a hacker from Panama was successful to take down a lot of foreigner countries document which created chaos across those countries.

I would suggest reading this article to know more about scams and how they work to protect yourself and your information.
