Family patterns and the generation gap

A single parent family is made out of one of the two parents and one child or children.It is the type of family where kids usually complain about loneliness and lack of quality time spent with one or both parents. The single parent  always complains about the family responsibilities he /she has to face alone without a partner to share the household chores or the covering of the family expenses with. However, the single parent sometimes appreciates the opportunity of being able to bring up the kids away from the other parent's bad habits as well as the amount of freedom and independence he /she may enjoy.

The Characteristics of the latest educational reform in Tunisia

The Characteristics of the latest educational reform in Tunisia

 There have been numerous educational reforms in the history of the Tunisian republic.All of them were made after decisions taken by the president of the republic if not by one of the newly nominated ministers of education.Seldom was there any research or survey on which those reforms were based.Teachers,students and parents kept criticising those reforms claiming that each new minister of education had to make a reform just to show that he passed by the ministry .

For the first time in the history of the Tunisian republic teachers, parents and students take part in the educational reform together with experts in education, and civil society associations. Therefore,whatever the results of this reform would be, every one of the participants would feel responsible for it.They would either be proud of what they did or try to improve it.

What link is there between corporal punishment at school and creating terrorists?

Corporal punishment is the deliberate application of physical pain to respond to a negative behavior. At home as well as at school, many kids are subjected to hitting, slapping, spanking, punching, kicking, pinching, shaking, shoving or choking. Teachers as well as parents sometimes use various objects to cause physical pain to misbehaving kids such as wooden paddles, belts, sticks, pins, or subject them to painful body postures such as placing them in closed spaces in order to correct an inappropriate behavior without thinking about the consequences of corporal punishment on a child’s psyche.

What is the negative impact of corporal punishment at school?

Irwin A Hyman states that “Physically punishing children has never been shown to enhance moral character development, increase the student’s respect for teachers or other authority figures in general, or offer greater security for the teacher. Children who are subjected to corporal punishment in school, in my view, are being physically, emotionally, and mentally abused; indeed, there are no data demonstrating that students subjected to corporal punishment in schools develop enhanced social or self-control skills” edworkforce.house.gov/uploadedfiles/04.15.10_greydandus.pdf.

He also added that children victims of corporal punishment may suffer from various mental and psychological disorders. They can have difficulty sleeping, fatigue, feelings of sadness and worthlessness, suicidal thoughts, anxiety episodes, increased anger with feelings of resentment and outbursts of aggression, deteriorating peer relationships, difficulty with concentration, lowered school achievement, antisocial behavior, intense dislike of authority, somatic complaints, tendency for school avoidance, school drop-out, and other evidence of negative high-risk adolescent behavior. Moreover, corporal punishment does not have a negative impact on misbehaving children only but it also affects others who witness it in class.IN fact, the time allocated to punishing misbehaving students is robbing the witnessing ones of their full learning potential. Besides, they are losing their feeling of confidence and security inside the classroom and they keep worrying about being subjected to the same punishment which may inhibit their learning spontaneity.

What is the link between corporal punishment and terrorism?

Teachers and educators have to bear in mind that some students didn't have the right start to be taught how to behave, because of parents being absent, or their surroundings and circumstances didn't show them and lead them to the right path of an appropriate behavior and once they are subjected to corporal punishment, they will feel regularly humiliated without even learning what is wrong with their behavior nor what an appropriate behavior is. Therefore, they will lack self confidence, their school results will suffer and their ability to form healthy relationships will be affected. Irwin A Hyman states that “punished children become more rebellious and are more likely to demonstrate vindictive behavior, seeking retribution against school officials and others in society.”

The psychological distress caused by corporal punishment regularly applied by parents at home or teachers at school may lead to anxiety, depression, alcohol and drug use, and general psychological maladjustment. Therefore victims of corporal punishment may become an easy prey to aggressive gangs and dangerous religious sects where their vindictive behavior is accepted, encouraged and directed and where the victims will find refuge and may find the ability to form relationships through their aggressive behavior .

http://ezinearticles.com/?What-Makes-Social-Websites-Successful?&id=8942375

Modern means of communication gained popularity on the internet particularly social websites. No one could imagine that a new social website would be as popular as Facebook. However, Twitter for example, and as soon as it has been created has been used by a lot of people ranging from politicians to actors to musicians to business people to IT people to just regular everyday people.

-What made Twitter so popular?

What made Twitter almost as popular as Facebook is the fact that it was presented as a very simple application that is easily accessible and easy to use to get and share information. It is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables users to send and read other user's updates known as tweets. Updates are displayed on the user's profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them.

"What are you doing?" is the question being asked by Twitter. If you have information you want to share, you can share it in 140 characters or less without needing to elaborate on it so much. If you need to elaborate, you could always use a blog for that.

Twitter users follow other Twitter users, usually referred to as followers, They are usually people, communities, groups or companies that share similar interests. The fact that you can follow people without needing them to follow you back has also helped Twitter spread among its users fast. At first, it was mostly used by celebrities which has given it a bright start. In deed, for celebrities, what probably was the main reason for appreciating the use of Twitter is that they don't really need to know updates from thousands of people's lives every second of the day. That proved to be true for regular everyday people too.

-What makes new social websites spread easily?

Once created, a new social website doesn't need as much advertisement as any other sort of lucrative or non lucrative products. They spread among users and through users themselves smoothly and naturally.

In fact the reasons of success are almost the same for various social websites whatever the applications, innovations and facilities they offer. It's the need for people to be close to each other, to hear from each other, to socialize with each other and to share each other's success, anger, happiness and even failure due to their human civilian nature without forgetting their need to confess or just talk without being interrupted, judged or criticized.

You would like to create a new social website? You are wondering what applications and innovations or facilities might encourage people to use it? Don't worry! People's human civilian nature is the key of a social website success. Just make it attractive and easy to use.

تتناثرون هربا بين البحار والمواني

تتَّخِذون غاصبا كأنصح الخلّان

تأتمنون ذئبا على حراسة القطعان

لتأكلوها جيفا أو تتركوها للغربان

مات الوفِيُّ لاهثا بين الذِّآب و الخرفان

فاغرة أفواهكم على موائد الحيتان

تعلِّلون جوعكم بغرائب الزّمان

و العيب في من صدّق أنّه يطير بجناحان

يمناهما منتوفة و اليسرى إنقسمت نصفان

صحِّحوا مساركم يا معشر العربان

و عدِّلوا البوصلة على مصالح الأوطان لتضمنوا لشعوبكم كرامة الإنسان لا يكتب التّاريخ بالكذب والبهتان

بل ُتنحت عبره ليبقى  كأصلب البنيان شاهدا على الزمان عصيّا على النسيان

http://ezinearticles.com/?How-Pregnant-Smokers-May-Harm-Their-Future-Babies&id=8939496

Cigarette smoke contains more than 4,000 nasty chemicals including 60 cancer causing compounds that damage a smoker's body and brain. Besides a smoker does not only harm him/herself but he/she harms people around who find themselves obliged to inhale second hand smoke while they are staying near a smoker. Passive smokers had fought for their rights of breathing pure air in public and especially closed areas. They won the battle and many laws have banned smoking in public areas in most countries around the world. However, there's no law forbidding smoking during pregnancy, a period during which the fetus is totally depending on his mother's food and oxygen supplies. Therefore it's of a major importance that pregnant smokers think about what risks their future babies may run if they carried on smoking during pregnancy.

الروتين الزوجي

يا من تدّعي أنّ حياتنا لا ترضيك

لأنّه ما عاد فيّ ما يستهويك

اخلع جلباب أبي وأبيك

لا تبحث عن السبب في ماضيك

يا من شكوت إهمالي بكلّ ألفاظ القواميس

إنّي  اشتاق مثلك لعاداتي و نواميسي

التي بلغت بحبك لي حدّ التّقديس

و جعلتني أتشبّه بالقراطيس

بالغت في وضع المساحيق

لا لحاجة بي لها  لكن  لتكريس

نظرة أيقظت فيّ بعض الأحاسيس

و دقّ غيابها عندي أخطر النواقيس

يا من يضنيك غسل الأواني

ولا يضيرك فك ارتباطنا قبل الأوان

يا من تحلم بتعدّد الزوجات

لتتّبع رسول آخر الديانات

إن كانت سننه حقّا تعنيك

لا تتخيّر منها فقط ما يرضيك

اعمل بآخر ما كان به يوصيك

واعلم بشرط العدل بين الزوجات

بلن نافية لم تترك لك سوى الأمنيات

أسراب طيور مهاجرة

كنت قد مللت صديقاتي
و تقليب صفحات حياتهنّ و حياتي
تقت لتلوين ذكرياتي
بأفعال تصرف دون تاء الإناث 
بُحت بحاجتي لتوسيع خارطة علاقاتي
بحثت عن صداقة من قرأ في صمتي أفكاري
لحّن حِسّه أشعاري وصوّب عُوده أوتاري
تبعت قلبي فما ازدادت إلّا آهاتي
عبثا بحثت عنّي في تفاصيل حكاياتي

في المودّة و الرحمة

كعاشق يغمر بنظرة أمّي

ينسيها سالف الغمّ

ترى بما أسرّ لها

أبلغ من باقة الورد

والخاتم ألقته دون علبته

في دم الشهيد

تجلّدي أمّ الشهيد

ولدته في يوم عيد

تزيّنت و  لبست الجديد

 وزعت الحلوى و الثريد

لأنّك أم الو ليد

فارقك في يوم عيد

حقّق فيه ما يريد

لقريبه قبل البعيد

في الحرية

في الحرية

انفش ريشك كما تشاء

ارم بصرك نحو السماء

لن تحلّق أبدا في الفضاء

لن ترى عيناك الضياء

و أنت في القفص مشلول

يا طائر الربيع المغلول

في الوطن

لا تبال يا وطن

مهما طالنا الوهن

ها هنا شعب كبير

خاض معارك تحرير

مستعدّ لكلّ بذل

ملؤه حب الوطن

هاهنا شعب بطل

يحدوه كل أمل

أقسم باسم الوطن

أن يطرد كلّ جهل

لا تبال يا وطن

في التنوع و الاختلاف

كم من ورود قطفت فذبلت

 على يد الإنسان

كم من ورود وضعت وطويت

في كتب النسيان

كم من زهور غيّرت وزيّنت

عواصم البلدان

كم من زهور أينعت

على فوهة بركان

كم من أحقاد نسيت

بورد و أقحوان

كم من قلوب جرحت

بكتمان الوجدان

في مفترق طرق

يحيط بقرص الشمس سحاب

يحيط بماء النهر تراب

في قلب الصحراء سراب

أطياف في عمق الضباب

في عمق الضباب نتربع

نلوك نلوك ولا نشبع

نصيح نصيح ولا نسمع

نجالس قبر من كان يهاب

نخاله يخفّف عنّا المصاب

 صمته يمعن في العذاب

 كأنّ الماضي محض سراب
