Young adults, between home and friends


Nowadays, unfortunately, many of teen guys prefer to be with their friends more than with their families. This can be considered as a big social change, and it may be due to feeling more freely with their friends rather than inside home. Thus, parents must make more effort to create a freedom environment inside home to attract their sons and daughters to spend more time with them.
When young adults be with their friends, they more freely to talk, fun, and entertainment, while when they stay at home, most of communication wastes due to many of family conditions and rules. The new social media helped in breakdown these rules between friends, but it could not make the same inside homes. As mentioned by some researches, most of teen adults  feeling familiar with their friends more than with their parents when they using different social media applications.
Therefore, parents must give their best to rearrange their home living rules, and review the almost inapplicable conditions or restrictors that they applied inside home, such as sleeping time must be at 10 PM, or dinner must be healthy and at 6 PM. Such rules restrict young people, while they can break them simply when they be with their friends.
Spending more time outside home may lead to big social problems. Thus, parents must sense this issue, and put an applicable solution to help their sons and daughters to feel happy and free with them, then they will not see a big different between staying with their families or with their friends.

refugees and wealthy countries


 Are you agree that wealthy countries should accept more refugees and provide them with basic assistance, such as food and housing?
This question was sent to me in a fundamental writing task by ieltsadvantage.com, but I found it is very useful to be discussed, because it represents a continuous issue.
First of all, I agree but with some conditions, and before explaining these conditions, it must be known that those refugees have not been left from their countries for a tourism travel, no, they left to save themselves and their families from die, such as what happen in Syria, Yemen,  Libya, and others, or to save themselves and families from poorness and hungriness, due to lack of chances of getting a job in their countries, such as in Iraq, and most of African countries. That means the refugee people can be considered as forced refugee people. Thus, if they stay at home, humanity may loss many of peoples, so this will be a great shame in its history after what happens in the first and second world wars. Or, many of young people in these countries may become a terrorists people, and many of them will be enrolled with some terrorists groups such as ISIS. Al-Qaida, Bokoharam, and others. Now, if wealthy countries accept the forced refugee people, that means they save their countries and the world, it is an ethical issue.
Here is a complex point must be discussed, that is what may happen if the wealthy countries opened all of their doors to the refugee people and provided them with basic assistance such as food and housing?. That means many of people in poor and unsafe countries will be encouraged to refugee to the wealthy countries even if there are not deeply suffering from their countries conditions, and the hosted countries will reach to a point that they cannot offer the required assistance even for their citizens. Therefore, just legal conditions must be defined by the hosted countries, so I find this essay as a chance to suggest some of these conditions as I see them very important;
1.      The refugee must have a legal approvment from the hosted country before it refugees, by apply a form on an internet website or something like this.
2.      The refugee must arrive to the legal ports of the hosted country, might airport, ship port, or  others legal ports, not upon unsafe borders
3.      The refugee must bring with it what proof its suffering in its country, and that must be classified at the hosted country as an accepted reason to refugee
4.      The refugee must be able to work in the labor market of the hosted country, to be considered as a good addition to the society, not a heavy block on them
Thus, and after what explained above, I agree with the importance of hosting the forced refugees in the wealthy countries and providing them with the basic assistance but with the above legal conditions or what another condition can be make the hosted country in the safe side and does not affect its social consortium or its economical situation.

Friday of COVID-19

On Friday, there is no prayer for Friday .. in most parts of the world .. and for different doctrines and stripes
It likes as ALLAH is sending us a strong message, this is not the prayer that he wants .. and the speeches that delivered are not the words he wants ..
#Corona is a new opportunity for everyone to review themselves .. So the preachers of the mosques should review what they say .. they must address the real problems of society and propose effective solutions to them in a decent and calm manner,  instead of shouting, threatening, and excessively intimidating ... instead of telling stories and myths ... and reporting novels without scrutiny, so most of them are not applicable.
And the prayers should review themselves .. and their attendance at the Friday prayer should not be merely dropping an obligatory .. or an opportunity for media appearances .. or sleeping on one side of the mosque . They should not make them harmful mosques and discord .. or for gathering and political parties .. or places for sectarian separation ... or places to store weapons.
So everyone should know .. that the mosques are for ALLAH .. and no one must be called inside them except ALLAH .. and that their presence is permitted for all servants of God. So it is not forbidden to anyone .

COVID-19 and Happiness Rate

The World Happiness Report (WHR) was written by a group of independent experts
acting in their personal capacities, it can be reached by clicking the link https://worldhappiness.report/ed/2019/ for year 2019.
This report showed that the happiness rate at the Middle East and North Africa countries is little than that at another countries round the world, specially Europe and North America countries, and that result is realistic due to many reasons like unstable issues in policy, economic, ...etc. at these countries. But, a small virus, such a COVID-19 may inverse the results, so, nowadays, we see that such virus caused very difficult issues in those countries that indicated high level of Happiness rate, more than the low level countries. Thus, world now need to ensure sustainable happiness factors rather than measuring present happiness, because happiness is not a moment feel, it most be a continuous feel.
