To Start.
Should another human being be forced in to the condition which exist in war? Should then, as a result of one side lossing in this conflict, the victor occupys and then impose their will, either liberal democratic or authoritarian institutions upon this weaken society, along with its resulting failed economies?
There are very clear known observations both recent and historic that both the application of democratic and authoritarin institutions by the victor have very mixed results. Why?
What are the key factors within human development and behavior which creates this condition of uncetainties?
IRAQ: Discoveries.
Can the present efforts to bring liberal democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan be accoblished? " Very uncertain. " is the leading answer now - a - days. Yet with the development of Baghdad Night Life ( NightLife ), RMC a clear indication is that in order for change to occur there must be a cultural base in which to inspire new ideas from. That trust in these new ideas must have human resonance within the social and cultural behavior of the community under-going transformation by being directly 'linked ' to a local cultural base.
For Example in the Third Open Letter to the Iraqi Peoples.
Third Open Letter:
Child Centered Focus:
The displaced population of Iraqis, still in the millions, and where they have fled has created a major change of Arab attitudes to both radicals and how Islam is now being exploited. The primary means, which is the prime trigger, is that displaced Iraqis are in the face of Arabs in most of the major Arab centers within the geographic arena of the Middle East. Iraqi wives are talking with other Arab wives, the same is also true for the children, and husbands.
The resulting experience the Arab communities, which have open their doors to the displaced Iraqis, has cause loss of confidence in those factions which caused these Iraqis to flee. Moreover, a resentment is growing towards groups who will exploit ethnic tension as a cover to both steal and murder, not to mention car bombings and attacking religious institutions. This resentment is the growing commonality between displaced Iraqis and the Arab communities which they reside.
The emerging perception is based on a child centered focus and clearly revolves around the future health and well being of their children. The stability of both their family and safety is always top topic of discussion at coffee houses, Mosques, and in various bazzars in which Arab women are establishing vital networks to bring home he necessities, though very limited, to keep the family fed. Islamic Clerics in major Arab centers are likewise see additional needs to add increased ministry to their organizations, and whoses emerging visions has forced many to close and support the concerns of displaced Iraqis. The terror in Baghdad, and those who are fueling it are now being increasingly condemed. Of course there are other topics, but the commonality of this concern alone reflects a new political reality in which displaced Iraqi and Arab community member are comming to terms with, along with with its child centered concerns as its hidden ethos, while the Islamic clerics are trying to keep in touch.
Along with this oberservation, is how taking the high road for visability created immediate responses indicated the real emerging power of the Internet.
Thus:
One Iraqi complained in an email. " Wheres the trust?" Meaning how can Iraqis can trust American when there are no direct links to local cultural institutions from which to begin to rebuild the Iraqi society. Nor in the view of more recent historic evidence by political aware sector of false promisses given to the internal oppossing Iraqi leadership before the American military conquest. " Wheres the trust."
From all the subsequent email, and other local, Ithaca, New York, communications the present sentiment, as of October, 2007 goes along theses lines.
Presenly though one thing that is now very clear is that to build trust both social, cultural, and spiritual institutions must be firmly established within the common cultural traits first. Then in the social and cultural transmission are then more easy to accept new idea, as it is likewise immediately understood that and institutions necessary for liberal democracy can never be manufactured with ease if at all possible in the first place.
What this has indicated, as this is the case, that in the absence of qualified social, cultural, and spiritual institutions, millions fled Iraq to other Arab states. Some of whom having a bathist authoritarian government. Yet additional evidence achieved through The Foundation " For " Arab - Reconciliation - Ithaca, New Yorknetwork, members in the immediate region who are now have Iraqi refugees have all noted the same factors for their presence.
This was, in part, imparted in various communications as a reaction to this being popular place within the Internet. Even the search engine, UAE, and Arab search engine had it placed within its nets.
" Palestinian parents will never condone their children throwing stones at human beings, especially at ' armed ' Israelis. Nor will Israeli parents, cognizant of the Holocaust, ever condone their children denigrating a peoples, especially ' unarmed ' Palestinians. " Roger M. Christian, Ithaca Journal, March, 2003, Ithaca, New York
Since Spring of 2003, this comment has been shared through-out the Middle East.
First the Palestinians, the second the Israelis, and finally, the Iraqi refugees.
"They did not want their children be subject to both physical and emotional harm by hate." Not they did want the senior members of their family be further age based vulnerability" According to the evidence, this group is better educated when compared to the normal regional model, and are the real middle class center of the Sunni Triangle of Urban Baghdad. They are the very people who made Iraqi work as it once did before the Americans. Right now their numbers is somewhere around 4,800,000.
AFGANISTAN
Here where established institutions which did melt in the wake of America, and knew it was better to be in Kabul, the capital, than to leave. The development is marginal, and thiswas primarily due to economy which created wider and deeper dependence on the previous Soviet inspired institutions, and the even deeper emotional resentment felt by the educated on those relgious radicals who took over after Soviet influence was crushed.
In the meantime, American political discourse enter their lives right in the middle of the Afgani efforts to creat a life for themselves. Though this is less difficult within Kubul itself, its even harder everywhere else, but here comes American intervention.
President Bush paused to comment in his second-term Inaugural Address, "…it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world." However, and what is now know is American ignorance of the central cultural values within this region.
Then came the rush of academians in their rush to publish. And soon the concerns of those who have to make a life for themselves in this region were lost in resulting American suffle of American political discourse in the approaching Presidential elections, academia throwing in their voice, and yet their is no voices being heard within either on a level playing field.
What has now occur is restoration efforts led by nonetheless, the Military institutions of the United States. Thus Baghdad, getting some marginal assurance of being safer, as it is, the very emotional element to commit to reconstruction is now one everyones mind within the region.
Then the interviews of some 840 Arab Students / Scholars within Western, New York and Ontario, Canada started to be comnfirmed in the present flow of communications. 1973 - 1982 - 1984 - 1992, 2001 - Cornell University.
The single perceptual mind set of the peoples of the Middle East comes from their fustration in attempting to discuss the anxieties on what Americans are trying to sell them in our form of Democratic institutions as the path for restoration and civilization success, when clearly implied saparation of Church and State are clearly and likewise defined. Both the previous interviews and the present attitude can be understood in their completely agreed view towards to American Civil Libertise Union. horror, and militant anger.
The American interjection, as it is now being looked at by the troops and the Iraqi, and Afgani Peoples have created an awareness by the peoples themselve that America is pushing fundamental shifts in the political, economic and social orders.
Largely without their consent too.
Feeling this American troops, as there are safety issues to reestablished crediable leaderships within the respested communities be invested in, are now starting the listen, and discovering at the sametime relative ignorance of existing institutions within this region, and it internal resources at leadership development.
It is here, American troops starting to listen, and thus learn about existing institutions where the actual Intercutural Communications is now being implemented. American generals have gone more" Generic in promotion democratic institutions within the region instead of selling the American role model. That redevelopment coordination must be in the hands of the populace based upon their own value systems.
This now runs contrary to what is being reflected in the emerging political discourse of the American Presidential electioneering, and the body politic of Amerian Aademia. This runs contrary to the beliefs, ideas and values systems of the people in Middle East in how to creat the conditions which would restore the present refugees back to their homes.
Both the prevailing attitude, and the internal emotional, and at time growing resentment centers on these four components.
One:
At anytime in the present political discourse involved in the emerging Presidential and Congressional elections in 2008, and their public debates, when expressing an opionion on the future of the peoples within this region, they must be likewise be allowed for their own voice to be heard. On level playing field, and its clearly implied connection to ethics of consent and then democratic institution is represent is now before the Arabs, and their reflection of who is the United States.
Two:
The clear implications of advance technologies, and the Internet are the key components in which Middel East of Nations undertands as central needs to become self-dependent. Thus when one looks at Baghdad, the safest instillization are the micro-wave towers, as both those who build and destroy are similarily dependent upon their existance. Both needs equal access to Internet communications, as the technology hs become a conscious force in the immediate cognition of the peoples and leadership themselves.
Three:
The central core of Arab culture and society is a based upon the resulting institutions created as a result the social and cultural dependency upon the ethics of " FREE TRADE." Though things are still being clouded by the economic expectations and internal discourse of the wealth of " OIL " nonetheles, the existing economic institutions are the main concentration in the very fundementals of working and healthy Arab societies, or societies within this region. Every Arab fully realized this.
The primary factor why the central reason for the 840 Arab Students / Scholars presence at various academic institutions is integrate advance communcations in the efforts to promote central Arab values of trade and barter, integrating high technologies into Arab societies in order for the Arab nation to be self-dependent. The most important is developing positive experience and valued knowledge in how to communication with Americans as a whole.
The major complaint, however, comes from the preception that Americans have, and still have, towards the Arabs and Terrorism being linked. This was meant by complete resentment. And this revolves around the actual mode of operation within Arab society iself.
Why? Then comes the point.
Arab society clear revolves around the centality of developing the Community of the Arab Family. That each family is considered independent in how it carrys own the function of life for the benefit of its members. Outside intervention is considered criminal, and that the single effort which concerns its future well being is conducted through its various bridal selection processes.
To get a clear idea of the significance of this one first has to look or discover the news of an upcoming wedding to discover who is going to be the future leaders or wealthy business concerns.
It as form this perspective that a clear Arab view of themselves were likewise discovered. That there are those who are going to become equal to the society expection of earning a living within its economy of Free Trade, while there are those who do not have the ability to apply themselves-either as mature adults or who has the intellect to understand its workings. Thus their path is either through the Rifle, or The Koran, and as such are considered the peoples of the Alms.
Once the rule of the Riffle is installed, additional economic loss is likewise felt through out the Networks of the Community of the Arab Family.
Likewise
Once the rule of The Koran is installed, business competiveness with other civilizations creates loss of economic self-dependency, while at the sametime Arab society incurs further technological disabilities. Though the Networks of the Community of the Arab Family fairs better under this rule instead the rule of Riffle, nonetheless, bridal selection is being intervined by Islamc clerics. As well as increased Alm before, present, and after a wedding.
Nexus:
The various form and networkings which goes on within each Arab family is the relevant discourse of concerns of everyone concern. However, from their view. " How come America does not understand this? Why are the only American who comming to terms with this are American troops, and not those who are engineering the American process of political discourse behind the upcoming Presidential and Congressional elections, when America prides itself in being a role model standard for democracy.
As this goes on, the impact of the technologies of the Internet are now allowing others within this region to have more contact among themselves, and new resources of informaion are revealing an emerging ethos, and central core of ideas.
It is here where one must stop and to bring in the Academic frame, or responsiabilties therein eachs pedgogy, Intercultural Communcations and the future singlularty and importance of International Students / Scholars presents within their campuses.
The International Students / Scholars on American Campuses. The academic pedgogy of recent modern times:
From this view point, as illustrated on Arab - Israeli Reconciliation site.

The Discovery Process:
Creating a focus to promote reconciliation is never easy anywhere. It is even more difficult when you are trying to it online - via the INTERNET, but building an effective web site that allows free and open discussion options, is something never really tried. This is the effort whereby the INTERNET becomes a tool of " personal " discovery. Then the INTERNET, if used properly, can make a huge difference in increasing social and political responsiveness of each member's behavior in public the sharing of ones owns views..
Everyone needs to find more information, and how this information triggers personal self-discovery, how it affects your emotional needs, and drives involved in the issues surrounding ethnocentric commonalities is what this site is about. The desired organization, the ethnological commonalities involved, and the sociocultural needed responses is the focus we need to provide for each other. The work must be look on with obsolute patience, as well as critical allocations of time and efforts. We should all look forward to working with each other. | |
Internet Linkages. For Example, and from the same site.
Night Life ( NightLife ), RMC Established Network in the Cites of :
There clear implications between links, link exchanges, webpage - website rankings, and greater public access within the Internet as the single most important media of today.
More importantly, this is how one is able to get a message out which will be read and understood. This is very basic to this Internet Paper - Thesis
Restoration efforts and the clear use of the Internet has created the new a fundamental change in the worldview by those within Middle East area of conflict. That in the technological applications of the media of the Internet restoration cannot achieve sel;f - dependency, economic or political wiithout any change be grounded in the culture of a society, or more importantly within the growing networks of the Community of The Arab Family. Members of each of the various existing family networks as the legitimate institutions from which change should undergo a process of careful examination first and foremost. This is in-keeping in making any future investments required for their long-run sustainability.
Internet and its function within Intercultural Communications has been applied by the following processes.

How!
In the arena of the Internet it is the online users and consumers of the information age, the central market core, which holds the keys of success in which developers of websites and those merchants of global wide production of goods and services are most sought after. Once a website is placed within a searcfh engine index, that site and what it represents immediate has global status, and thus have additional responsiablities for the content contained. The key focus of which is the pratical use of the key workings components, the keywords and how content supports them, in developing sites that primarily gains the attention of this market.
" Thus you have to be seen first and foremost and in less than 10 seconds in what you are selling which has to generate both interest and more important desire in order for this market to follow through and be convinced of what you are selling."
Every site iis the first and based on the prime behavior of the market forces of online users, who are in the meantime are becoming more educated in what their searches mean, and thus lasting impression opportunity ever organization has. In this, and subsequent to every other analysis of the connection between online users and website product reactions " sexy " is the prime visual solidification of the users interests. But only temporary in order to get the market to react further and beyond the initial seconds of exposure on the computer screnes to invest time to sold on what is finally being represented on each site.
The Internet is very much like one very large " fortran program ." The present search engines, and the computer programers who envisioned and subsequent designed their inner workings had one single vision...
" that rankings are linked to the singularity which promotes cultrual democracy, the amount of how other sites are linked together, and the level of content each site has."
It how both content and links are viewed and are encouraged by the great investments these designers took in developing their various analogs contained in their crwalers / spiders, in which google is the most sophisticated, and thus ultra top secret.
It how one goes about in attracting attention and, now, tjhe additional focus which has to look is where each server is located, what are its access to the each search engine, and the company which houses them, and their ongoing relations and standings which is the foundation of each sites potential success. Moreover, single directed sites, those who have one server and one system of producing and supporting in their development are increasingly becoming disadvantaged.
It is within this understanding that the high ground in producing the International and National Cultural Fiesta Movement and its support and created networks indicate future directions in site planning. Thus once applied to other interests, outside of the emergining networking knowledge and conjunction to this effort will assist in the further incoporation of all relevant search engine crawlers / spiders, the envisioned cultural democractic visions of their developers, and the program of the Internet workling being successful triggered, the inner corem the primary software employed, along with its basic III, C plus, and unix propertises of each existaing computer on a massive global scale. Thus these sites are then computer program product as they will become parallel in their inception to each concern of the global market of OnLine Users; this is who each crawler / spider is specifically designed to protect. |
Success is being seen first and foremost !
Thart each designed site must gain the attention of the OnLine users beyond the first initial reaction of ten seconds.
|
| SUNY @ Binghamton Theaters: |
Everything which deals with the global market being sought after, the individual interest is solely depended on keywords, and how their susequent page content supports them, and the crucial linkages to other sites, which attracts additional rewards in earned placement rankings by each search engine crawler / spider.
| |
|
|
| |
The central understanding is that the popularity of each webpage is dependent upon the interest of the user, and the ability of the webmaster to creat coalitions, the internet version of cultural democracy, to achieve page rankings. Here, and as result the Internet induction of each webpage is within this technology a voting booth.
The with this in minds is this.

Promotions: [ The Matrix ] |
|
|
When you have room in a server, which Cornell University central computer has more than enough to outstrip Lycos, AltaVista, the use of google for advertising becomes more problematic, and may not be cost effective.
Presently, the use of satalite sites, once specifically used can be a more cost effective solution and be able to control the market aim in additional later modifications. Just as important, it is the development of both a central directory, along with links to other sub-directories for a power source in which to enhance page rankings.
Once the above is applied along with [ The Matrix ( multiple x, y, z, axis link indexing ] system now being developed, the advantage of attracting the students / scholars, especially from the advantagous International pool becomes more clear. Clear in this case, is the actual how to target successfully who you want to apply. What this means, is that multiple insourcing and outsourcing of academic pedagogy through computer generated online information has a better chance of attracting this pool when compare to the present implaced systems. [ This is where the email, along with downloading it on your computer, via notepad, or on a lap top which make this point very clear, and further suggest additional outsourcing methods for communications. ]
Thus Myspace use in conjunction with sites which are house in the Cornell server plus the new skills being developed in Night Life ( NightLife ), RMC InterCultural Communications Internet Network [ The Matrix ] adds to the ability in which to target students / scholars. |

This website attempt to offer a critical perspective on current theory and research in intercultural communication. In particular, I will focus on the growing fields of scholarship in cultural studies, critical theory, and multiculturalism, addressing this scholarship from a communication-as-discourse oriented perspective. What I mean by a "communication-as-discourse" perspective is that we will treat "communication" as an organic social phenomenon rather than as a static phenomenon of individual interaction. While I am well aware of a tradition of scholarship in intercultural communication which emphasizes the interpersonal interaction, this seminar offers itself as a critique of that tradition. We all should emphasize self - questions and practices of "diversity" (especially involving race, class, gender, and sexuality) as they manifest in local and global contexts in the United States. The principle objective is to develop a politically informed and self-reflexive praxis in the service of reframing the study of intercultural communication.
This an open format of course I be searching for addtional comments, presentation, response, and discussion from the Internet and respective groups. My comments will introduce and situate the readings, interpreting key issues in the conversation and outlining theories of culture that develop therein. Each student / scholar who participates in developing either a National cultural fiesta, or International cultural fiesta should have the aspiration to take on - going recorded responses during the events palnned./ Analyzing the set of records and making additional modifications in future planning will put off arguments which t intervenes with both vision and creativity, and enlight the field of academic conversation as a result. Additionally, students / scholars should self impose more responsiabilties in all future subsequent event planning.
The previous sites indicates the nature of the planning itself, and I will make a theoretical and alert you to be prepared to do critical intervention in the field of intercultural communication. We should expect some light - heartedness to address some of the key theoretical issues that arise during each semester, as well as to involve critical readings of a text, event, or issue in the student's own area of research interest in others who are likewise involved with own events palnning. These experience should eventuallyl be presented in a mini-conference which will be scheduled near the end of each academic cycle.

The critical areas are as follows:
- To know exactly what is the scope and limitations of your student, cultural exchange, or visiting professor visas.
- How joint social and economic cooperation with other International Students / Scholars helps to develop a community, and fostering those helpful human strings of human relationships which creates feelings of home.
- Examine the options for further study/research in the United States, and additional channels for resume building.
- Looking at the option of International trades, and economic arenas of opportunities beyond graduation with a connection to the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
- How to secure additional funds and grants, as well as to extend the limitations of present visas to include work [ green cards ] and business development.
- Security is an essential need for International Students / Scholars, as there exist several myths within both the United States and Internationally about the present ethos [ IE. Post 9/11 ], and its associative anxieties in which Americans naturally have.

To the International Students / Scholars who are contributing to America's academia cultural, the above photo is one individual leader of an assortment of Human Honors for Culture and Science personalities representitive in the ongoing development of The American Civilization; and its growing and complex diversities. What you see and what you are interacting with, and under the protective " IVY " of academic freedoms, on and off campus, the lifestyles you are witnessing, came about as a result of their leadership, and what it represents to your experiences while you are here. Good advive [ Two ] from Mr. Roger M. Christian
On this web page [ which I spell at times WebPage ] you will note that it is sectionalized to fit the region in which your academic institution resides. None the less, as you see at the side navigation, these are other regions which are likewise represented.
The aim of constructing this web site [ which I spell at times WebSite ] as such is to not only give you a peek of whats going on at another location, but more importanly, get you to network correspondingly.
The clubs, social, dances, and proposed or on going working groups, either online, or at a local cafe' are selected to enhance personal interaction with those who have similars taste, habits, and attitudes. This is very specific, in as much as this is to aid you in a quicker transition in developing local sociocultrual, or sociospiritual connections so that the personal isolation traditional felt by International Students / Scholars are likewise eased.
Please be careful, and when in doubt about a local club, event or someone who approached you off campus, do not hesitate in contacting your campus International Students / Scholars Affairs Office, or Police. This is a distinct duty in which you will find your own legs faster in walking through the cultural and social behavioral climate of America. Good advice [ One ] from Mr. Roger M. Christian
