Where the mind is without fear

Where knowledge is free
When the world has not been broken into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words outside the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
In dreary desert sand of habit
When the mind is led forward by thee
Constantly expanding thought and action
In that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
-Rabindranath Tagore
One of my favorite poems, which has always inspired me to rise above narrow lines my dear brothers and sisters have created on behalf of the borders. The poem has always inspired me to learn more and more, which gives me immense pleasure. United Nations Declaration of Human Rights states in Article 26 "Everyone has the right to education" But still, why many children are forced to stay away from the beam of education? Is that Yousafza Malala, a brave, creative, beautiful and talented 14 years fighting against Pakistani girl.

Malala Yousafzai, born in 1998, is the city of Mingora in Swat district in Pakistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and northwest. It is known for its education and advocacy for the rights of women in the Swat valley, where the regime of Tehrik-i-Taliban banned girls from attending school at the beginning of 2009. During this period, at the age of 11, rose to fame through a blog Yousafzai he wrote for the BBC for his life under the Taliban, their attempts to take control of the valley, and points to the promotion of girls' education. Later that same year, the Pakistani army intervened, leading to the ouster of the Taliban in the Swat Valley. Yousafzai has since been nominated for several awards and won the first prize of the National Peace Pakistan.

On October 9, 2012, Yousafzai was beaten in the head and neck in an assassination attempt by a sniper while returning home on a school bus Taliban. She remains unconscious, but to improve their conditions.
Yousafza Malala, who dreamed of a country that "education must prevail," reminded me of a young Jewish girl Anne Frank, whose diary had created a similar feeling in the world. All these difficulties he endured in his secret hideout Appendix always inspire me to not give up. Although Anne had a tragic end, our star Gul Makai (his pen name in the paper) is growing. How championed the rights of women to such a young age, we can certainly predict that can compensate for the loss of Benejir Bhutto.
The only thing I really hate is how people still think in the 21st century. We still belong to the society where girls are considered nothing. We are always constrained by traditional practices that consider the dead woman as a commodity, equipment designed to satisfy men. He did not need rights, education and independent living, which is the slave of man from birth until it reaches the grave. Always be careful, the way he walks, the way he talks, the way he eats, the way they dress, the way she laughs ... everyone and everything. Always observed.
What a pity!
Older women are afraid of fear of losing their purity and virginity. We learned to be something pure, and purity is the vagina, keeping it safe. And if she could not keep, would be sentenced to death or exile of society. And what about men, does not need to be pure? To explain this, let me give you a great example: Most of us love animals, especially tigers. The territory of a male tiger ranges from 40 to 45 km, which includes at least two female tigers. What he meant by this information, is that men who are brave, strong women should have as many as possible.
Must be protected against the enemy while the other must have for their superiority complex. So is not it a paradox predator-prey?
I hear girls are called whores, bitches and watch implicit disapproval of the girls who are "too" boyfriends. I have not heard of this negativity around countless individuals who have girlfriends. And is not it ironic when he divorced three times, morally ambiguous man trying to keep the child in their standards of morality? But this is what happens every day in our societies. In Egypt, almost 80% of women are victims of sexual harassment on a daily basis.
A recent government survey found that 47 percent of all reports Nepali women are victims of physical, sexual, emotional or financial. But 84 percent of those who are victims of domestic violence remain silent. The situation is desperate.

As Jessica Valenti said-
"I hope that women can begin to see and encourage men to see us as more than the sum of their sexual parts, not as virgins or whores, as mothers or friends, or as existing only in relation to men, but as individuals independent of the wishes, hopes and abilities. "
"The division of the sexes is a biological fact, not an event in human history. Obviously, you can" if bald men and hairy was the same or not, and recognizing that they have opposite natures, can ban as shoemakers hairy men if men are men bald or balding forbid if hairy men are "the fundamental point. whether we meet the man or woman excelling the other in the pursuit of art or other, then we say that this oversight particular must be assigned to one and not another example., men and women the differences are the result of nature or learning'-Simone de Beauvoir, "the division of labor must be done by the ability and capacity, not sex, if a woman shows skills.

I'm not against men and their behavior. I am against our programming has chained Orthodox patriarchal minds. The problem is not men, have never been a problem, but sub-ordinate. We are born with this inherited disease of the mind of our orthodox norms and values. We are limited within the shadows of Plato's cave. As the saying goes, "Diamond Cut Diamond" women themselves are the enemy of the other, especially in Nepalese society. We are busy gossiping, pulling his leg, fighting to survive almost. It is our own mother who abandons touching our father, brother during our periods, is our own mother-in-laws that are burned alive for dowry. 'S in a long line. On top of that, the bad guys continue to exploit our vulnerabilities. We have to go beyond the limits that we have for ourselves.
Remember you can put an end to things you do not like and say something is wrong when it is wrong. You have the power to insist on the right things and live for yourself. You always have the option to withdraw if they are treated with respect and, above all, you have the right to make adjustments to everything and anything in his life. Life is the sum of all your choices.
So, let's join our hands to the Almighty for the faster recovery of our Malala and vote no girl will be free from all the glitz of education, because our society needs men and women productive. The true the saying: "If a woman in an educated family, the whole family will continue. Arrived!

Where is our "iron curtain" voice?

In recent weeks, President Obama and Governor Romney has, directly and through surrogates, discussed Iran, Libya, Egypt, Iraq and Afghanistan. Everyone has different ways told us how he would deal with terrorism. Both have talked about China, when it comes to jobs. Monday, Mitt Romney gave his first major speech on foreign policy campaign.

However, there is one thing that the incumbent and challenger have largely ignored. None has given the American public context, an explanation of why there are so many crises at the moment. Winston Churchill in 1946, provides the framework for his Iron Curtain speech, and we need a speech of this kind for our time.

What is the context of the second decade of the 21st century? What makes the world so hard these days, is that authoritarian giants, China and Russia, are thieves and training other harmful components. So, in a sense, we have a problem in Syria. We have a Russian. Similarly, it does not really face difficult challenges of "atomic" ayatollahs of Iran or North Korean dictator Kim because, more fundamentally, we have a disagreement that encompasses all the leaders of China, which support these rascals. To put it another way, we could solve many global problems in the short term if we could bring Russia and China into the picture.

But of course, this is not possible. So Obama and Romney needs to address the challenges posed by these two powers in the international system led by the United States. Since the end of the Cold War, we have tried to negotiate with China and Russia and its integration into the international system.

Therefore, the U.S. authorities subordinate objectives important to maintain positive relations with Beijing and Moscow. For example, we tried to recruit both in what should be our most important goal at the national level to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons. In this decade and the last Washington agreed in the Security Council and the Board of Directors of the International Atomic Energy Agency, compromises and half-measures to win the support of the Chinese and Russians Regarding the nuclear programs of Iran and North Korea.

However, the optimistic vision of America's great powers the unit has not yielded positive results. After failed attempts to get as Beijing and Moscow, we must recognize that China and Russia are partners to solve the world's problems. They are, in many ways the problem.

Over the past two decades, Washington almost always tried to manage the crisis of the moment, regardless of what was really behind it. We need solutions, but ignoring the most important problems in finding fast solutions is costly in the long term. Ultimately, we must recognize that authoritarian states to contribute to the great, and sometimes cause instability. America needs not only new policies, but a part of the new foreign policy.

It is perhaps too much to ask thoughtful discussion of foreign policy in the middle of a busy career policy, however, opponents of the United States will not stop their problem behavior until the vote.

We need another Iron Curtain speech. The great democracies are challenged.

Real Men And Women In Ukraine

more please, heute Abend, Mir show that such a man in love with Australia, but do not know which one, "and then proceeds with the course." said Lula that begins ". :

Hey, guys, I'm going to meet tonight
A man, a real man!
Hey, guys, I'm sick boys,
A man, a real man!
A man whose heart still burns
A man whose eyes glow with fire.
In short: a man who wants to kiss and can
A man, a real man!

Well, I have good news for Marlene. If I were living in Ukraine, a real person, or for that matter the trouble, do not need to find a real woman.

Early in September this year "ranking" of the group Ukraine 1200 Sociology, 18, who they believe "real person" and says "real women." Ukraine and its political culture results are encouraging.

The person was famous: Reform leader and former boxer Vitaly Klitschko (30.1 percent), his brother, world heavyweight champion Volodymyr Klitschko (9.9), Russian President Vladimir Putin (Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for 9, 5), Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych (6.3), the democratic opposition Arsenii Yatseniuk (5.3) leader and football star Andrii Shevchenko (5.1).

Important, Vitaly the Ukraine, East and West, 37% and 41% and 21% of the vote in both the south and the east. Was his brother Volodymyr number, respectively, 15, 15, 6, and 5 percent. Putin Center (10), south (15) and East (12) I did, and unfortunately West (2) of Yanukovych in the center, south, east and west were 8, 6, 7 and 2%, while Yatseniuk 8, 1, 3, and 9 per cent.

Thirty-five percent of men prefer Vitaly, while 26 per cent are women. Bad boy to another girl: Volodymyr (12, 8,), Putin (11, 8) Yanukovych (6, 7,), Yatseniuk (3, 7,) and Shevchenko (8, 3,).

This is good news. Vitaly Klitschko won the most support, because he is not a star player, and above all, Volodymyr keeps knocking his opponents in the ring and Shevchenko is one of Europe's best football players, but they a man, the tall man-made and ambitious politician, is black and beautiful. A Democrat, he probably supported the south and east defines the lowest level, but there also seems to be one-fifth of the population with respect. Consider that the fist big Yanukovych bespectacled Yatseniuk only a small part of the above is obviously some Ukrainians men are happy to consider real nerds. But there is also bad news: Apparently, 10 to 15 percent of Central and Southeastern respect Putin and his Ukrainian Topless activities is the man in amazement. Fortunately, it's not much.

This is good news. The majority of Ukrainians who you think a "real woman" would consider? Singer looking for something? It is a traditional housewife? No.

And 24 percent of tea with democratic opposition Yulia Tymoshenko's political prisoners! The West, 32 in the south central, east, 6 and 13 and 22 percent of men and 25 percent women, 44 percent scored. 10.4, 6.2 and 4.9 percent, respectively: in fact, second, third and fifth in the list pop singer Sofia Rotaru, ANI Lorak (both Ukraine), and top Pugacheva (Russian) are. However, the fourth and sixth German Chancellor Angela Merkel (5.2) and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (4,2) is.

In addition, about a third of Ukrainians difficult, as a percentage Ladies Watch The Real Women "success, Pugacheva Rotaru 15 professional maturity and appreciated, and only a select type of Lula Lula twentieth.

This is very good news. A political culture that values ​​that communism is still retrograde Despite the development of many hostages, Ukrainians clearly men and women are breaking traditional stereotypes. There is a difference between Vitaly Klitschko U.S. Senator Bill Bradley basketball star Arnold Schwarzenegger became governor and bodybuilder who is. Foreign Minister of Ukraine Yulia Tymoshenko Hillary Clinton Carly Fiorina amalgamation and business response.

One ticket Klitschko Tymoshenko,? , Or for that matter how Yanukovych Regionnaire possibly compete with heart and eyes burning bright?
