Summary

Incest is defined as sexual relations between persons who are so closely related that their marriage is either illegal or forbidden by custom. The prohibition of incest is and has been one of the most common of all cultural taboos, both in current nations and many past societies. In other words, it is an universal taboo. However, contrary to all human decency, incest is not a sin and is permitted in some specific instances in Islam.

The need for Revivalism

Summary

Excerpt: "The problem is that we shout a lot and do nothing. A lot of writing happens, a lot of sharing happens but we fail to contribute sufficiently towards achieving something on the ground. I feel that we are so obsessed with words that we fail to understand that if words are not sufficiently actionable, they are good for nothing. Ideas which are not practised, serve no purpose."

MicroSociety School Design: A teacher's critical analysis

by joseenriquefigueroa

Article / Non-Fiction

Summary

This is a critical examination of one of most idealistic conceptions used to hide, rationalize, or even negate problems with the education system. Among the wide variety of approaches claiming to be effective in “fixing” or “reforming” education, we also find the “Micro Society,” a teaching method based on mimicking the world of government and commerce in the classroom. This approach, like many others, assumes that the potential for transforming our education system is present in the American society. The prevailing ideological rhetoric of the status quo permeates its descriptions and analysis. This approach tends to seek solutions to the education system’s problems within the confines of the status quo. It does not offer a thorough analysis of the economic and political structure of the society. Based on my twenty-one years of teaching experience, I will make a critical analysis of this approach. How does this approach affect the process of teaching and learning? In academic areas such as language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science, what is the measurable impact of the MicroSociety model? How effective is it in terms of direct-measurable academic growth, independent of all other academic programs? How do other academic programs, independent of the MicroSociety approach, impact attendance, discipline and civic responsibility?

RABINDRANATH TAGORE AND LALON

Summary

'AMI TARAE KHUJE BERAI...............' The search continues………………Rabindranath did and so did Lalon…………. The unfathomable interest and popularity of their songs are due as much to the lofty idealism of their thoughts as to the literary grace and beauty of their songs. Rabindranath's teaching, with its vital faith in the redeeming power of the spiritual forces and their up building energy, has a particular value at the present moment, when the civilized world is passing through the crucible of a ghastly war which, whether or not it purges the nations of their pride and hate, lust for gold and greed of land, at least proclaims, in no uncertain tones, the utter bankruptcy of materialism. Similarly Lalon Geete’, which expounded humanity over all social and religious dogmas. As he has no faith on the religions and society which are based on so many binaries like caste, class, gender, region etc and as his main concern is humanity, his songs are the main weapons against those binaries. To Lalon, ‘man’ is his main concern and man’s heart is the only place where God resides whom Lalon calls as ‘moner manus’. To be great is not merely to be talked about, it is also to be misunderstood, and Rabindranath has not escaped this fate. The many attempts made to explain him contradict each other, for "from the words of the poet men take what meanings please them." There are two views regarding his philosophy of life. If we believe one side, he is a Vedantin, a thinker who draws his inspiration from the Upanishads. We believe the other, he is an advocate of a theism more or less like, if not identical with, Christianity. Rabindranath inclines to the former view. “To me the verses of the Upanishads and the teachings of Buddha have ever been things of the spirit, and therefore endowed with boundless vital growth; and I have used them, both in my own life and in my preaching, as being instinct with individual meaning for me, as for others, and awaiting for their confirmation my own special testimony, which must have its…
