American Culture Class: Cars

            The world has become like a small village were all people use the same facilities for living in each city all over the world. Nowadays, cars are used in the majority of countries around the globe. It makes life easier for people to transport from one place to another in their cities and even around the city. However, cars can tell you something about the person who owns it. For example, if you see a young man drive a car like a Ferrari, you might feel he is a teenager and just wants to show off or that he likes to drive at a fast speed and do dangerous things. Moreover, a moderate looking, strong and little fuel consumption kind of car will tell you that the person is maybe practical and also wise in choosing things that suits the environment where he lives. I think that the best kind of cars are those which consume little fuel and at the same time are nice looking and comfortable. On the other hand, I believe we must start to reduce the bad effects of cars on the environment like pollution, by starting to make public transportation for citizens and for every individual to start to use them instead of owning many cars. Also, we can lessen the amount of cars every home owns by sharing one or two cars for every family. Ultimately,  I believe nothing is going to last forever so we have to search for alternative sources of energy, so  that we can be ready for all possibilities may happen in the future. For instance, using solar energy and running cars by the energy of the sun will be very helpful.

American Culture Class: Peace Movements

Here Malcom X is preforming the Islamic prayer Salat.

          There are many peace movements that happened through out history. For example the one here in the USA by black people such as Martin Luther King Jr.. Also there is Malcom X, who were calling for peace and justice between black and white people in the USA by violence. Malcom X at then end of his life learned about Islam and learned about Islam's belief in equality between mankind and that it came to free people from slavery. He embraced it and started to write about it. I read his book translated to Arabic Malcom X Journey to Mecca. It was an amazing book. In my opinion, freedom and justice are related in some ways. The meaning of freedom varies between people's opinions and beliefs. For example, in my religion Islam freedom has a unique meaning in life. As you are a Muslim you are free to do and say what is allowed and prescribed upon you. Actually, if someone took a deep look at Islam; one will notice that only few things are not allowed. For instance, you are not allowed to drink or to eat pork. However, you can eat and drink every thing else. Not to mention, that what is not allowed is discovered to be not good for you anyway! I think every one can find freedom, peace and justice by following the Islamic rules, which provide us all those things along with comfort and satisfaction for every human. Muslims now have awaken to the fact that they must return to their religion and follow it's original rules from Quran and Sunna. Thus we shall be successful like in our golden ages.
