Learning some thing when you are young is like engraving on stone. It has been known everywhere is that learning during youth life is much easier than it is in the adult life. But it might be more a battle than an explanation or a discussion. Yet, I think that it is tough on old people to change an inherited life pattern. For example, a mid aged person and a child who started to learn a foreign language, and according to the studies that have been done; the child should finish learning the language first. Nevertheless, in racial ideas case, it might be different because such ideas are obvious and verified by people around the world. I think the result we still changing other people mind about racial ideas, is caused by parents, I mean if parents are not racist am sure a child would not consider racism out of no where. Moreover, racial ideas are inherited over generations and could be ambiguous, it could be an easy something to contribute in credit to the world. In the other hand, it could be really hard and harsh to understand when getting older. Especially that some families are concerned about race. Therefore, I think that there should be more effort done to spread the words freedom and equality. Conferences and books that explain racial ideas and get people to the safe land should be should reach the backside of the earth. Such ideas are important; some nations are still in conflicts with others because of it. Countries should work out their inside social problem in order to move forward in its socioeconomic future. If countries encourage its nations against racial thinking, People would be more open minded and unit to get their life developed. As a result, wrong racial ideas would not exist in such societies, as it is in some countries around the world. Therefore, children would not need any help to relearn those ideas that could keep their future behind just to distinguish between a human and another. To Sum up, racial ideas are a behind the times issue that in the process to disappear within the following decades. And I believe that some people are raised on it, which shows from the generations we witnessing among the past hundred years. As an effected party of the problem, governments should step up and acknowledge their citizens about; by considering many solutions to fight this mental Tsunami. I think the world would be a better place to live in, when it comes to everybody is equal and the same. Most important, although it is hard to relearn racial ideas when getting older, but I think people would not mind taking the chance to get it right.

In fact this question has always impressed me, especially that such a thing is common to see in our era. However, I think that the majority of parents in the world some how have an affect on person’s ideas about marriage. Relationships are more about the personalities than physical looks, it is important for any person to be with whom he admires but the one with the good personality. I believe that such things do not often occurs in our society back where am from than they do here in the United States. People in the twenty first century tend to forget about race and its rules when it comes to the new generations relation ships. For example, an African American friend of mine is dating a white girl. I thought it would be rude if I ask them about their parents’ point of view about the relationships they are committing, and whether they have effected it or not?? ..Their answers were almost the same claiming that it is something personal for them to choose and consider a soul mate no matter what!! Both parents and siblings were fine with the situation as well. However, There are still some families that consider race and socioeconomic in marriage, always take it seriously and totally refuse their son getting married to a women that they never thought he would be with, I mean from different race. Therefore, I think such people are left behind, they should compete with what the science have discovered hundreds of years ago. Melanin is a hormone in our bodies which determine our skin color type, and that based our Moms and Dads genes, In this condition, there is not any other difference people, every person is equal and have the same rights that other people would have on land. But I actually have always put my self in my friend’s shoes, and felt that it really does not matter for me whether the girl I date is White, Black or even Hispanic, as it is important that I make sure she is the person am going to spend the rest of my life with. Moreover, a person should think that they might be with a person from the same race, who might not treat them well or does not fit their lifestyle; In the other hand, they might be happy with a person from a different race. To Sum up, interracial relationships have always been a challenge foe singles around the world, back from the ancient era. However, people should really consider being happy than looks in relations. People would be happy if they really smash those walls that have kept people separated since centuries ago. Interracial relationships are as any other kind of relation, and it is good as long as the couple is okay with it.

It seems really strange to me, I mean the idea of slavery especially that I am a middle eastern, I eventually was born and raised in a country where every one is the same, it does not actually occurs in our societies back home any more. We all know that slavery was something from the past. But I think I changed my mind when I saw the video about the people who had been mistreated, threatened and even working to get nothing yet to live. I really feel sorry for them, I always try donating some money for those people. In fact, slavery has been a behind the times issue for me, until I first got to the United States; almost all of our generation did not attend the times of slavery. From my point of view, I think I would stand for those peoples’ rights and I would not ever feel guilty. Why would I feel guilty when am standing for them against racism? I think there are more people to blame than our selves. We are now living the twenty first century; I think we reached a point of knowledge where governments are the companies to blame. They should be more concerned about it; we are in a world of advancement not in the ice age any more. For example, if that farmer who exports the made by slaves cocoa in the video owns a big spot of the country, I think it should be controlled by the government. Yet, I think that such deals make good profits for the country, so there should be the role of the governments. What else to mention, who to blame is not as important as how could we individuals make a step to help in here. People should be more open minded and educated about it; people should get more knowledge so they could understand things about their lives. In fact, the question that would I feel guilty or not, got me confused!! Some times people understand and in a ready position to help; but there is not actually a thing to do except try donating and spreading the word freedom around the world. Again, some times people might consider other below them just because they do not have the same color; some other people might discriminate when having the chance to deal with them or even slave them. I feel sorry for them and I put my feet in their shoes to feel their misery, I try to explore things with my peers and family as well about it, and I have never hared someone saying that he feels the guilt about it. I sympathize with those free souls who have died under the word of slavery and I hope governments take a step quickly to smash the memories of slavery that people still have.

Now days, the world is going through its peak of Evolution. People are getting educated and starting to know more about what race and ethnicity are. People share seats or sofas in some places as in courts and hospitals. I think that it would not matter for me whom I’m sitting next to. However, a lot of people prefer to sit with friends as I actually do. In fact, a person would be super comfortable when surrounded by their friends, they sit next to their peers to have fun as well. Nevertheless, I often see many students from different races sitting together; they actually seem so close some times. As an international student who has been raised in a country where almost everybody are the same. What’s more is that, it is really important to be qualified than to belong to the same race over there. Modern life means diversity, People has to get exposed to people from other races or cultures. For example, why would not a person give it a shot ,and share some ideas or descriptions about an another country or region. Surrounded by people from many other races and ethnicity; class mates, neighbors and even friends, I have always made sure that I gain the best features.

Races have been a problem during all cultures upon the past decades. It is an issue that is not easy to get red of easily. As a matter of fact, we all know that some people around the world still discriminate or think that some people are better than others based on races. People have always cared about it and they are still exposed to it, However, I think that races would not be a problem with in the future because there is a lot of diversity in every where around the world now days, people and new generations are getting more open minded and they started to think more logical than they ever thought, by letting races and ethnicity behind their back and look forward more qualified technical world .In fact, considering equality as a priority .
Moreover, People discovered or named races in the order of categorizing people. For example, if people where less and nations were not as they are these days, of course people would categorize other people from other places around the world. In my opinion, races is a behind times idea specially if people could use it the wrong way. Another thing to put in mind, that all new education systems around the world are against the concept of discrimination or "racism". As a subsequence, new generation would be influenced by their education,throwing all such stuff away.

Even though, I don’t know one of you girls, but I agree with the guys about what they said about identifying you. I’m from the Middle East, where the races really matter, I mean its important for people over there to know their family history, and I think that according to the experiences and the characteristics that we all have been dealing with since we were born, is enough to help identifying people. As it shows, I wouldn’t think you guys are related too, and as some of the students mentioned that the girl on the right might be half African half Indian, and the other girl might be an Asian. Races are a really complex thing and such a great thing at the same time. Some people share some characteristics through different races, the nose is one of the characteristics that I wouldn’t always consider an a aspect that could lead me to the right race because white, Caucasians and middle Easters might share many shapes of noses I mean as the girl on the right looked, I think that I would be confused considering her as an Asian or as A native American…. I think people who are originally from the same spot or the same family could share the same characteristics, it might be the nose, the eyes, the hair color or even the lips the non-forgettable skin color. Moreover, if some of the people wonder how could people recognize other people from other nations!! I think getting exposed to other people from different places from all over the world could help you a lot with that. For example, if a person gets raised in a place where there is a lot of diversity, they would easily figure out where people are from. As an impact, people who live in a place or a block full of people from the same race, I think that they might be uncomfortable when they are surrounded by other ethnicity. And based on that, those people would not even bother getting to know more about other people. However, people would not challenge it if they want to figure it out in case that they get more open to the other people and get to know more and more about them.
Back to your case , you girls, as I and some other students mention that you don’t look related to each other, but you might share some people from other races in family history. Again, I think that the girl on the right is half Indian half African American while other girl is an Asian. I hope I wouldn’t be mistaking, because I have been and I have moved to more than a place that should help me identifying people.

Seriously Jason !!, is that your way to justify crossing legs as an offensive action ?! I tell you what, we "Arabs " have been raised in a respectful way to the point that we show respect for people when we don’t cross our legs in front of them, we feel embarrassed when we cross our legs when an older person. So I think it would be better if you read some about our flawless religion that we follow... About amputation, those thing are not every where in the Middle East, Yet in Saudi Arabia and based on a lot of rules: and not any for any thief, just for your information Jason, even though it happens, but not in each case... Minority of people,
Moreover, if you are talking about the opening scene of Aladdin, then, I assume that u must be aware that you are talking about 1500 years ago, things changed, and I hope you do not forget how Arabs have the honor of discovering almost all things in many kinds of science… Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge!! Read People….

Muslim women are allowed as patients to ask to be checked up by a female doctor, even though, that thing is not common any more back where I come from in Kuwait!!
Moreover, Islam is a lenient religion; it does not even obligate women to be checked up by a female; but its recommendation that women most likely to be checked by a same gender experts is for their comfort and in case if something happens that an opposite sex would not understand or women could not express to or such things. How ever, if we see it from another perspective, some women are more concerned about such things, and if so… they must get the medical service the way they want, as a patient some people would not like it when they are randomly checked by any doctor than having the opportunity to choose a doctor with whom they share some their personal stuff.
In my opinion, its been ages, things changed and people are getting more educated. I think people should be more open minded about such cases, the gender does not matter as much as who the more professional is… Now days, women are not even concerned that much about same gender doctors, I mean hospitals are full of people and the doctor would not even risk his job and screw them selves.
The final thing I want to share is that it is really important for patients to get the medical under their restrictions and based on their needs if that possible then, but it is not really the doctors job to look after people needs yet medicate them and take care of their health.

People must know what those statistics have shown,as we could think people are really interested in the name; Then this mean they have a really good impression about islam. Moreover, if that name was the most chosen in that year, then that would justify why is I Islam spreading all over the world nowadays.
I think what happened back in Sept. 11 and the character that the media was playing has really miss represented Muslims and Islam in general,in a wrong way. However, people who are being ignorant and trying to ignore the idea of Islam as a peaceful religion, have no base to start with. Unlike that guy, there are a lot of people out there who have some knowledge about the talks they give, they try to explore things in order to judge a person for what they have done or not. I think its time for people to stop believing media and stop repeating the stereo types that it starts. Some people even don`t know where the middle east is?! or what the name Mohammed means, or how peaceful the Islamic aspects are..!! Therefore, governments are the company who should be alerted the most, people are drowning their selves behind, they suffering the luck of knowledge.Its really to important to be highly educated and well open minded nowadays, accusing all Muslims of what some extremeness have done is enological. At the end,as in any other religion and way better, the islamic beliefs are all peaceful and full of undesirable wisdom ... and based on those statistics, I can predict that people are getting to know more about islam!! and I hope fore more...

That guy has more than a video, I liked how he covered many issues in such a small period of time like that, I think that this guy is trying to show the world that its time for people to know who Middle Eastern people are, what features they have and how educated they are !! its is really shamming that some people still think that Middle Eastern people still live in tints or use camels to move from a place to another , its time for them to know more about the people over there, and not to just judge people without knowing whom they are just based on some fake stereo types.Moreover, not like any others, that guy has showed watchers a massage in a really good, funny and brief way... and I think that people would be more interested in getting to know more about the middle east this way. I mean including such funny seen like that guy have done !! is a really good idea of a way of showing people how big is t he problem... Almost, all of Arab countries are in a really close connection with the United States government !! isn`t that one reason of many other reasons that justify why would American people should have some more knowledge about Us Middle Easters !! ....
