Africa & Middle East - November 2007

to follow any law in this universe you would have to choose between:
1-Following it because you are afraid from the consequences if you did not ie when you prey for god because you are AFRAID from going to hell
2-Following it because you are willing to enjoy the outcomes of it. ie when you prey for god because you are LIKE him and you wish to be granted in the end from him.
Which person are you? did you ever think about this in your everyday situations for example when you do not bypass the red lights in traffic because you are afraid from paying the penalty or because you like the order?

...and men don't?

2007-11-19 04:49:52 · 25 answers · asked by Bélier 5 in Lebanon

Having spend some time in Israel, I have had some first hand opinions and interaction with women in the Middle East, both from Jewish and Moslem backgrounds, as my partner worked extensively in education on Public Health over there.

I often hear comments relating to how "oppressed" women are, and while it is certainly true that womens roles are often very different to those of women in say England or the US, I am not sure that their lives are as the western media portrays them.

Sure, there are different expectations of dress, and different types of marriages, yet the middle eastern women I have directly encountered have been strong, vital figures in their families, respected within their society, strongly opinionated and passionate.

There are certainly areas in which they do not have equal rights, and aspects of culture which I personally find hard to stomach, but as to whether they are oppressed - that is a complex question.

What are your impressions?

Two of my friends are arguing over Hebrew. One insists that modern Hebrew, as now spoken in Israel, is very different from 'ancient' or 'classical' Hebrew.

But another friend insists it's very similar and that apart from some words having to be added for things that didn't exist back then, biblical hebrew and today's hebrew are remarkably similar.

I tend to agree with the latter. Can anyone resolve this for us please? All info much appreciated, thanks :)
