I used to share the same problems and thoughts Harraz is sharing, sexual harassment, education problems, mindsets and privacy issues, freedom of speech and political leaders are all affecting factors. But from his words he refers that this matter is IMPOSSIBLE to change and that nothing will change his mind. But I think people can change, and the new generation are more capable of doing that. They seem more critical with skepticism principles, they look for change and know what is good and what is not, not only from education and people around them but social media is changing people. New education system might be changing people. PEOPLE MIGHT CHANGE. It is hard, it might not be done utterly, but hope is always present.

that seems disappointing

A factor that might affect the validity of his claim, is the fact that he is born with another nationality of USA

Youssef Azmy has more of organized logical reason that come from important factors affecting lifestyle from economy, social life and others. While on the other hand, Harraz's reasons come from emotional reasons and rage against politics and social life of other people in the community

generalization

using quotations from a person who was an Egyptian, creates credibility to the reader as he is someone that shared the same home country like the readers

I agree with him, I can see many examples like this.

p.50: Communities members may suffer from problems between them from corruption, and inequality and exploitation of the work class between they are still in the end connected as one company with the same aim

it is imagined as a community, because, regardless of the actual inequality and exploitation that may prevail in each, the nation is always conceived as a deep, horizontal comradeship.

p.50: it means nations must have imagined borders that is not common with other nations

no nation imagines itself coterminous with mankind

p.49 : Anderson explains that the members of the nation have in their mind, the agreement of communion with their fellow members of that nation even if they do not know each other.

It is imagined because the members of even the smallest nation will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them, or even hear about them , yet in the mind of each lives the image of their communion.

p. 49: the author describes loving and belonging to our country as the reason for the modern development and comparing the "nationalism" with mental disorders that causes stress to the person.

Nationalism is the pathology of modern developmental history, as inescapable as "neurosis" in the individual

distrust and segregation that take place between different people, is not a problem that would be solved when we remove the principle of multiculturalism. Distrust is an adjective that need to be leant how to conquer

The speaker is right about the fact that people retain bad aspects of their culture and they grasp onto it, not only the good ones

overall such a great chapter that leaves the reader with a lot of questions to ask

page 12: even if he has a way of thinking and a certain ideology that he follows, respects must be common as a way of communication with all people and being kind also whatever whom I support politically whatever my race, even if I am the man you hate the most in the world, communication has certain guidelines

who are you to ask me these questions?

page 10: maybe Ali didn't notice his beard that is not what he needs or the true reasons behind his attitude

page 7: that actually asks a question whether people should be influenced and changed by the country they immigrate to or should they stick to all the principles and the culture of their hometown

too implicated in western civilization

page 7: thank god there is an as if in this setence

as if he hated his father

page 6: I've already guessed this from few pages back, I deducted that he might have been over religious or have been a member in a closed religious association that made him change

very true

no appointment could be more important than that of a son with his father page 6

page 4: Bettina has made Parvez feel better. Sometimes we need a friend with us for a support that will change how we look at problems

page 2: Parents nowadays always hope for the best for their children but unfortunately it comes the other way around. They want those kids to dreams their parents dreamt of, Parvez is wrong at always hoping for things he wants and not the things his son want.

page 2 : running from the problem and fear from addressing does nothing but complicates it even more, so things can end easily with a small discussion

1st page: Father is noticing a change of attitude for becoming better, however the change in attitude in a person always have a reason. In Pervez case there is a lot of change that has happened.

advice

Comparison between the privilege we have in creating our own chosen identity and not one obligatory to us

Home does not necessarily mean a physical place

in page 22: He addresses the problem of generalization

and says that the way we look at other people is sometimes a prison that we keep them locked in

page 21:

He acknowledges the fact that even those who have identical allegiance are not identical, and everyone is different even if a small difference.

page 20: identity is a special case, mankind itself is a special case Very true is without being special cases we won't then have different identities we would have been just the same in everything.

it affects the reader's minds and planting the idea of this parenting into their heads, so no not everyone has profited. At the end, it's the kids that suffer

evidence

emotional depression and other kind of psychological problems that grow with that kind of parenting behaviour

what Chinese parenting want to achieve in the end

why secretly?

here point of view of the situation

shows her daughter opinion or reflection on this way of learning

which always adds more pressure on students

huge confidence

Totally bullying, and if it helps creating a hardworker that works his whole self into academic studying, it will totally damage whatever left of his personality. Intelligence isn't just math and knowledge, intelligence is more than one category with arts being one of them.

Is the result really worth all the sacrifice?

Using ethos as a way of comparing between the 2 cultures

another reason and motive for their way of thinking

the rationalism behind their type of thinking and overload of work

Providing the point of view of most western mothers and on the other hand the opposite point of view of Chinese mothers

This is the point of view of the new generation in which if it continues in the same way, that will lead to them on the same boat next year

The parents are relatives of this village accuse the Egyptian authorities as if they are responsible for the result of their children's choices. They should be educated with aware campaigns about these decisions and it's effects on their lives.

present tense to show continuous hope

a huge number of people to be on board
