Thinking and thinking. What should i write on my blog?
It might get absurd but there is so much to write about history that in fact there is sometimes nowhere to start.
But, going through the class notes i can figure many things and understand what the ideology of people is and it might be based on their past. There is so many incidents, events and interaction of the people of this region that is not only political but mostly religious disputes that have been evolving in each other for generations. In a movie, i remember, that one of the actors said, "the past is the key to the future", It sound a bit philosophical but taking this history courses made me realize the meaning,origin and structure of that phrase. Even, in geology classes the phrase is 100% applicable t hat we know so much about earth just by analyzing the rocks and minerals and studying the formation of the different levels of rock formation and fusion that scientific can tell how old the rock is by analyzing the minerals and formation process it had.

So far, i have seen videos in class, witness the news and analyzing the filters that a cover story that i watch on my scree had been through before it gets to me. A few days ago, checking my email, i read an email from my history professor inviting me to watch a movie about Iran and its revolution, the involvement of woman in this movement and her influence in Iran as well as outside. I had the opportunity to watch how labels are established on Iranies, especially woman, and what they can do and what they should not do but still do. The movie shows aspects of the family values, the struggle to overthrown a tyrannic power and the cruel way of justice. the ridiculous way of enforcing the law, and how kids, as young as 13, are on the streets enforcing the law.
The purpose of the movie is clear. It shows to people the dimensions of the conflict, the purpose of the revolution and the outcome of it.
Many people died during this period of transition and evolution, protecting and fighting for what they believe was just, but was all of that really necessary? Why can they just get along??????
