Runaway Bride!

Although "Runaway Bride" is a title of a movie, it explains many cases of nowadays brides. Of course, summer is a season of weddings in Lebanon. You would probably go to at least five weddings in these three months and you would really feel glad when seeing the joy of the bride and the groom. Sometimes, I look deeply and see that some brides are dancing, smiling, and even welcoming visitors in a way that shows their glee. However, the only thing going around their minds "What am I doing her! I need to run away!" The only difference between those brides and "Julia Roberts"
is the ability to take a decision. Girls tend to get married just as a way of adhering to the traditions valued by their society. As happy as they seem to be in their weddings, you can precisely capture the difference and the regret one month later. All a girl can do in this society is to finally get married whether she became a bank accountant or an executive director. There is nothing wrong in getting married but only when we do it because we want to and not because our society wants to!

    I am against the idea of running away from marriage. Why the bride has to runaway if she selects her life partner with whom she can share interests and who will encourage her independence. As with any relationship, friendship is the key. Good communication from the beginning will help ensure that yours is a lasting, loving partnership. If the girl doesn't have a say in choosing her husband then for sure she has to runway but nowadays I think the traditional marriage is gradually disappearing and girls are giving the full freedom to decide about their partners.

    Whatever you will do in your marriage party ,the invitees can find a million of criticism to criticize you .So take the money travel and enjoy your time with your lover and don't care about traditional marriage .

    I'm with you dear friend, there are lots of brides who fake it until they make it!! In many wedding occasions he brides themselves, their families and the close people over there, fake their smiles and happiness as if the wedding is nontraditional one! But unfortunately it turns out that many of the brides are there just because their mom and dad wants them to be. In this case i strongly encourage the bride "to run away!"

    i'm totally with you Shaikha and that is whats happening in our society and these are bad thoughts and acts towards marriage. part of the responsibilities lie on the society and other on parents they must give some free space to any one before he get married to think and live his life.

    Girls and boys should have the freedom to decide with whom to live their lives we should be free from old traditions and creating an atmosphere of understanding between the two before getting married is essential

External Beauty.

Image
Once you ask someone about "Beauty", he would reply that beauty comes within the soul. People would run into this answer but they actually form first impressions about a certain person by analyzing his external appearance. Studies have showed that people are usually attracted to tall persons and deny the friendship of shorter ones at the beginning. Research has gone deeper into analyzing what facial expressions would help their holder in establishing quicker relationships. I was surprised when I read about a study that concluded people with wide pupil of their eyes attract more viewers. Some people would eventually prefer the internal beauty and deny the external one. I believe the problem lies in our definition of beauty and the criteria we follow when judging a person -male or female- as beautiful or not. Who ever said that a fat person does not fit the criteria or a red headed boy is not beautiful? Each one has a special kind of beauty away from any ugly criteria that wo...

Authenticity of EDUC 560!!

Educ 560 might seem a simple code that would mean nothing to others but a course. While others are thinking of what they should do to pass this course, my major thoughts revolved around the things I can do to my students and how to benefit myself. Each time that I left the class, I thought about how to use the business cards as ice breaking activity for my little students. I have also found a nicer way to publish students' work through posters or newsletters that can show it all at the first glance. And is there a better place to spread your work worldwide than a blog?  Nothing would last in your memory unless you fetch its use in your real life.

Smart Phones!

Image
I really miss sitting around the table or in a certain place without clicking and pecking in our "SMART" phones. It is impossible to see people gathering without chatting. But what kind of chatting? They keep their heads down and their eyes on a glowing screen for sometimes silly reasons. These advances seem to be so tempting but it doesn't mean that we should give up social life for the sake of social media. I feel sorry sometimes when I see people lacking the social skills to a degree that they can only start a conversation through "Whats-app" or any other social media. When using technology and smart phones for beneficial reasons, no harm can happen. Yet, people of different age levels are using this technological revolution as an escape from real life. I miss seeing a child playing in the mud instead of smashing a candy in " Candy Crush". Are smart phones making us smarter or are we losing part of our intelligence? That part that has to do with t...
