    Partnership for Lebanon and Cisco Systems

    The “Partnership for Lebanon and Cisco Systems” case study discusses a project developed after the war in Lebanon in July of 2006. After the war, President George W. Bush urged 5 U.S. based companies to partner together to help with the reconstruction efforts in Lebanon, including Cisco systems (led by John Chambers), Intel corp. (led by Craig Barrett), Ghafari Inc. (led by Yousif Ghafari), Occidental Petroleum (led by Dr. Ray Irani), and Microsoft (led by Steve Balmer). The partnership of these 5 successful U.S. companies formed the Partnership for Lebanon, or the PFL, for which a woman named Salam Yamout was appointed as project manager (Jimali, 2011). Upon the formation of the PFL in 2006, the leaders met at the Paris III donor conference with Fuad Seniora, the Lebanese prime Minister, to discuss and develop the key goals that would need to be achieved in the Lebanese reconstruction efforts, and to map out the main initiatives of the PFL (Jimali, 2011). With a primary focus on efficient and productive communities and advancement opportunities for the Lebanese people, they developed the following 5 key objectives for which they made significant progress over the next three years:…

    The Basseri are pastoralist nomads. In the late 1950’s there were an estimated 16,000 Basseri living in Iran. They speak a dialect of Farsi. Very few Basseri speak anything else but some do speak Turkish or Arabic. (Johnson, 1996) Twice a year they travel a strip of land “approximately 300 miles long and 20-50 miles wide, running in a fairly straight north-south line from the slopes of the mountain of Kuh-i-Bul to the coastal hills west of Lar”. (Barth, 1961) They are also described as “tent dwellers”. The tents they speak of are how they keep count of their people and describe their camp. Each tent consists of a mother, a father, and their children.…

    Sets Vault: The Egyptian Myth

    In the movie, Set rips out both of Horus's eyes which are his power for being a god. A year passes and Beck, a mortal, steals back one of Horus's eyes from Sets Vault. Towards the end of the movie, Horus's eye is brought back to him and he fully restores his power. Having ALL his power restored is NOT how it was in the Egyptian myths. According to www.egyptianmyths.net "Seth tore the eye into pieces.The left eye, being the moon was discovered by Thoth (the god of wisdom and magic) lying in pieces, but he was able to reassemble them into the full moon....Having been reassembled, Thoth gave the Eye to Horus. Horus, in turn, gave the eye to his murdered father Osiris, thereby bringing him back to life..." Seth ripping Horus's eyes out is accurate…

    The Late Antique Period

    Late Antiquity, often defined as the period from the late 3rd century C.E. to the mid-7th century C.E., saw the birth of modern world institutions. It was a time of political, cultural, and spiritual changes that laid the foundation for what was to come in the Middle Ages and beyond. Late Antique society saw the birth of the bureaucracy, with rulers who became increasingly separated from the ruled by increasingly intricate channels of access. It saw the end of widespread paganism with the triumph of monotheism as not only a tool of faith, but of government and empire building. Classic historians like Gibbons placed the end of the Late Antique period at the fall of Rome in the 6th century to the Germanic barbarians. The epoch of Late Antiquity…

    Chechen Refugee Camps and Education

    The creation of schools is one of the leading ways to produce hope and stability in refugee camps. Many would love to go to school because, currently they have no other option, but to teach themselves. Refugees can recall having great memories of their past school experiences, which they use as motivation to continue to learn. On account of my involvement with a refugee relief organization, I have been assigned the job of creating schools in the Chechen refugee camps of Chechnya. The primary means of survival and daily focus for these refugees have been through humanitarian aid. That assistance is made up of shelter, clothing, food, and basic necessities. Securing those fundamental desiderata for the camps has been a priority for continued existence. The steps for prosperous implementation of an education program are presented and discussed. When we look at successful communities, countries and cultivation, training is a key component to meet the immediate needs of its members and plan for long term sustainability and emergence for hereafter generations. According to Yusupov (2012), “when lack of educational opportunities comes into play, the very heart and foundation of communities begins to crumble and the ability to nurture and feed its residents is seriously at risk”(p.1). Everyone has the ambition and potential to become better, but without an education at what point can they start.…

    Writing in Middle East History

    Although the Arabic language existed within the pre-Islamic Era, Arabic writing spread dramatically after the revelation of the Qur'an, the Holy Book of Muslims. The revelation resulted in the spread of Islam, which resulted in more countries adapting Arabic as its native language. From Arabic, other languages came to exist, such as Persian, Turkish, and Urdu. The letters of these languages juxtaposed that of the Arabic language, along with additional letters, which gave each its newness. These inscriptions became a critical part of providing insight into history, culture, and social aspects of the Islamic period.…

    Post Classical Muslim Cities Essay

    Al-Hijari, an Andalusian historian, traveled to the city of Cordoba and explained how, “…the city’s climate is one of research and investigation in the variety of sciences and literature.” Al-Hijari is trying to say that many Muslim cities in the post-classical period, including Cordoba, value research and education. We also are aware of technological advances Muslim cities were experienced to. In Document 4, a layout of the round city of Baghdad is shown. In the layout, it shows that there are four gates protecting the city, markets, and public mosques. The round layout of the city is extremely significant and shows a unique way of constructing a city. Baghdad is shown as a compact and enclosed city that values safety and protection from outside invaders. Muslim cities in the post-classical era show technological advances with city layouts and show the importance of sciences and…

    Dbq Essay: The War In Syria

    For 6 years Syria has been at war with itself. In these 5-6 years many people have died. And many towns and cities left and ruined. The beginning of the fifth year of the war half a quarter million people have been killed. And over 10 million have been forced to leave their homes. And it all began with the actions of peaceful protestors. Which has cost the lives of 100,000 people and forced over two million to flee to the relative safety of neighboring countries. This conflict has captured the world’s attention because of the tactics employed by the president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad. Unarmed civilians were attacked and killed by government troops as they searched for the most effective and seemingly brutal method for quelling this uprising. Now there are some US politicians, who feel that it is the duty of our country to get involved militarily, but this with two wars already fought the past ten years, there seems to be little to no public support for this type of move. The United States is not the world’s policeman and should let countries solve their own problems.…
