UNDERSTANDING

Joint lesson

Youth, education, Iran, and the United States

08-May-2009 (6 comments)
The importance of education is stressed from a young age in Iran and the United States. However, in both systems it is the pursuit of a degree rather than education that is often considered as significant. It is more important to have proof of a college education rather than the ability to apply what was learned. With the exception of certain trade oriented fields of study, such as education or medicine, many students from both nations do not necessarily pursue careers directly related to their degrees. Iranian and American students alike have grown frustrated with this disregard for process and dominant focus on end results. Many students are entering fields of study based on what they see as financial security, rather than passion>>>

LIFE

Happiness in Uncertain Times

No matter how arduous the journey, there is one certainty: change

08-May-2009 (8 comments)
When I was an intern completing myPh.D. in Clinical Psychology, I worked in a large general hospital in the Psychiatry ward for the most indigent populations. Almost every patient struggled with chronic medical illnesses, grief, chronic pain, depression,anxiety and some form of post traumatic stress. Many of the patients had been homeless at some point in their lives. It was hard for many of the interns to take on the suffering of people day after day and not internalize it and bring it home to our own families. One patient I encountered, we will call her Patty, seemed to defy all expectations>>>

بايکوت

جايگاه گزينهء «بايکوت» در انتخابات پيش رو

08-May-2009 (10 comments)
از آنجا که دليل اصلی حکومت برای اجرای نمايش انتخابات نشان دادن حقانيت (مشروعيت) و پايه های مردمی خويش است، خودبخود، شرکت نکردن در انتخابات عملی برای مخدوش ساختن اين «حقانيت» بشمار می آيد و اگر اکثريتی از مردم دست به بايکوت انتخابات بزنند، رژيم ديگر نخواهد توانست بعنوان نمايندهء برآمده از ارادهء مردم عمل کند و سخن بگويد و موقعيت اش در چشم حاميان خارجی اش نيز متزلزل می شود و افکار عمومی بين المللی هم خواهد توانست با قدرت بيشتری روی رژيم فشار آورد تا، مثلاً، حقوق بشر را رعايت کند، دست به کشتار وسيع نزند، شکنجه نکند، و يا در تقويت تروريسم بين المللی نکوشد. بايکوت کنندگان لازم می بينند تا کسانی را که ساده لوحانه برای شرکت خود در انتخابات شرط می گذراند، به شرکت در بايکوت انتخابات قانع کنند تا بخش توهم آفرين رژيم کنار رفته و کارکرد منحوس بخش واقعی اما اغلب پنهان آن نمايان شود>>>
