Ecole / Education - "learn-friendship"

Hi!
My name is Anna and I am student from Germany.
I think a learn-friendship would be really nice. I already did that and it helped us. Besides that we are still friends. :)
I speak german, english and french. I will also start with spanish. Some other subjects I have are biology, maths, music, physics, chemistry, history and so on.
I could help you with/teach you german, because of it's my mother tongue.
It would be great, if you were interested! We could learn together, help each other, skype and also become friends. We can also talk about our school systems.
You can write to me the way you prefere.
Best wishes,
your Anna

who can do whatever they want. Paris declines after have been the most beautifull capital of the world ! We never see such a violence in Germany, Great Britain, USA, Russia and China, for instance. They have a competent government with strict laws and Police. I am waiting for working camps.

Well, theorically, only material things (including air) are made of atoms. Today, we know that 80% of the universe is made of unknown particles called "dark matter". This dark matter is made of neither atoms, nor photons, nor any kind of light waves.

It's true... And I wonder if there are atoms in something which is not material... I think there are particuls, but of what ? In the occult tradition (I don't belong to a sect) light is made of fire element (invisible electricity) which is present in the universe... For instance the sun, which provides us light, is made, of course, of fire
and this fire is created by thermonuclear explosions. But light, on Earth, is not radioactive. We have an example with lightning. It's electricity. And with lamps who need electricity to work. For a candle, it's directly a matter of friction by stricking a match. But there the "spirit" of fire is present. We must use fire very carefully.

Hello Regine!

What you ask belongs to very touchy questions.
If you ask Turks if they feel being Europeans, they will say: Of course.
(I cannot agree to much of it but it's a basic thing to hear.
It belongs to our national values.
Despite the fact only 3% of Turkey is located in Europe, Turks see themselves as a European country, exactly as France or Great Britain).

Turkey switched to using a Latin alphabete only in 1928. It's not an ancient tradition at all.

It was a part of controversial reforms developed by Turkish leader Ataturk.

My personal conviction is that we've both European and Asian elements in our mentality and life, so we're Eurasian people, not Asian or European.

Coming back to the issue of religious tolerance, i need to stress frankly (i tried to do before but it was a long comment) that, unfortunately, we cannot say this principle is ALWAYS respected in Turkey, because some people are ignorant, some are suspicious, as well as some are political extremists.
It also relies highly on current political situation.

I hope this problem will be regulated in the recent future.

Non-Muslims can serve as state officials, for example.

I'd compare situation in Turkey to that of France, in some way.

Both Turkey and France are officially secular countries.

In France, you cannot be a high state official and preach about your religion, attend public prayer and express your religious feelings in such a way, right. Neither you can teach religion in public school.
And if you're ordinary person who talks openly about religion and faith and tell people you believe in god and so on - many French people won't like it or will argue. Anti-religious attitudes are rather popular in France since the times of the French Revolution - that's what many people (both believers and non-believers) say.
(Some French people even say they can understand those who belong to less traditional religions - Bhuddism, Induiism, or esoteric groups. Probably you've heard that 3d largest religious groups in France are Bhuddists. But as for traditional French Catholic Church, many have hostile feelings to it. Or are close to that.)
And in this viewpoint, France seems to be extra-secular, where traditional religion is socially neglected or even opressed, despite all constitutional freedoms.

In Turkey, of course, secularization is not same as in West. Many people have a free approach to religion but feel attached to it.
But there're traditionalists and modernists, and the society is not as strictly conservative as in Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc.
Plus, hard-line islamists are unlikely to have a mass popularity and the state makes a strict policy towards them.
I mean that, though we've difficulties with human rights in a certain meaning, certain freedom is existing as well, just we cannot compare directly East and West, because both history, mentality and laws are too different.

What about American democracy, again. Let's look: what're their leading political parties? Democrats, Republicans. Monopoly! And what we know from economix lessons? If they've 3 large companies on market and that's all, this market is not considered "free".
They cannot create a free competition.
Moreover, quite many Americans (i heard it also talking to them in my own experience) are seriously considering emigration from the USA in recent years, as the general economic situation is not as stable and they trust the present administration less. Many don't believe they have a democracy but (of course!) America has a high level of general freedom. Unless you're involved in some crime, everything is ok. Still, it's important to remember democracy and freedom is not the same!
You ask a correct question if they have democracy and freedom in Turkey.

Here i have to stress i'm deeply respecting French nation and French culture myself. But i wouldn't say Turks have to follow French or American standards in understanding the democracy, because they're Western countries with a different history. Turkey used be a country of very complicated history and traditons. It's a Muslim country and it has own specifics. But, taken as it is, it has a certain level of democracy. Women can work, study, participate in social life (another thing is that in small towns and villages, they have more conservative lifestyle and way of thinking...). Non-Muslim minorities are existing and, at least at most cases, they're not banned or persecute. There're some Christians, Jews, others. Of course, the state policy is inperfect and there're also radicals who don't respect people with other views. But there's no state-influenced policy of discrimination (in Saudi Arabia you cannot pray at public or have Christian items at home, being a Christian, or, if you're Jew, Hindu, etc. - your rights are strictly limited by the state laws).
Coming back to the theses about the USA freedom, i have to stress that in international estimations, USA is the leading country to delete public Internet records from the web bases. It speaks for itself.

There're positive features in American nation and also in American experience of the state building, but i strongly believe that much of American mass culture (including that of media culture) is absolutely not we should copy or support. It ruins the personal freedom in some way.
You say that the USA is a country of freedom. It's a classical argument but (here i'm referring to the opinions i've got from Americans and people who used to work there) it's just a nominal freedom. Yes, there's no dictatorship or strong political censorship in the USA. But censorship related to supreme power and corporative (financial censorship) is AS strong as, for example, in Russia (which is not really a country of democracy, it's not a liberal country at all) or Germany (which enjoys a status of a country having a relatively free and flexible medias). They use hidden levers to maintain this or that image of the things they do need in medias. In this context, i should mention that nearly all (100%) of American medias are private-owned. Compare this, for example, to France, where some serious medias are still concentrated in the state property. Plus, it's common that if you're interviewed in America, your textes will be edited, whether you're a senator, a minister of President. France, in Sarkozy's time, got a status of country there medias are strictly controlled by Sarkozy and his team. They could call to the chief editor and to say: you shouldn't do this, you should write this. This practice is non-sense for the civilised European country.

And if we try to think France is highly democratic country, do you know that French government tries to implement a strict control on Catholic traditionalists and other organisations considered "being zealots", just due to their protests against same-sex marriages.
I don't support Marine Le Pen, but i can also refer to her words: "There's no democracy in France. It's a country of big taboos. What doesn't suit the political elite, is deleted."
My strong conviction is that democracy is ok but i don't think we should say they've a real democracy in the USA or France, they're just close to it comparing to many other countries. As for the general freedom, we should remember about special camps (Guantanamo) still existing in the USA, as well as about CIA actions against people in all the world that are now allowed by basic law - the Constitution. As an "international monitor", the USA also cannot be a considered a country of liberal freedom, being involved in international wars. Only UN, not the USA, can be a monitor, and they have never said "sorry" for their "promoting democracy" worldwide. Is it right? No, i'm sure.

And as for the Sarkozy, as non-French, i can just say that i don't think he is good President, but he was an active and skillsful minister, a talented lawyer, a highly-charismatic politician but (here i can also repeat comments of many French people we used to talk to) - a "usual populist" who is not good at real policy and who will not be able to put things in order.

Hello Regine!

I understand your opinion and as a French citizen you're probably one who knows a situation well. But i cannot agree to much of you've said!
First of all, i respect Sarkozy as a politician with serious experience (he served in several supreme posts, and is generally more experienced as same Hollande, for example).
But not as a President and, i have to stress, as a possible leader of a country which plays a key role in EU (France and Germany are said to define the EU policy and have highest influence on the European financial system as well).
As i said already, i have never met any French who voted for Sarkozy or supported him as an acting President. No! He was blamed by everyone, both in middle and lower classes. And he has a negative reputation for supporting the high classes, for his luxury, for corruption in higher circles, for his lifestyle (you should remember the facts i'm telling...), for pressure on French medias (which is not common in a country that views iteself as a "democracy"). He is too extravagant and irrational in his personal and political features, and he lacks a balance of feelings and actions (unlike, for example, Francois Mitterand who was both highly-educated and reserved, or, in another way, Giscar d'Estaing, who tried to look more democratic in his style). In many foreign countries, Sarkozy couldn't get a positive reputation, they just see him a pro-American clown!

And of course, it's right i'm rather anti-American in my position, but lots of people are (even in France) today! Remember that even Charles de Gaulle was rather anti-American in his policy and it was his merit to build up more France-focused policy, instead of deepening military alliance with the USA.

modifier supprimer 13762 - Réponse de ali137 (turkey) - 2013-05-01

I know that most voters are not supporting Hollande and socialist anymore, but you should also take into account that Sarkozy lost much of his popularity being a head of state. He also is under investigation (and is accused of corruption ties) so they try to isolate him from political processes. He also said in his interview that he might come back into policy circles but is not considering such a chance. All things considered, they should remember that Sarkozy was a weak President who couldn't make France economically stronger, so he cannot be better than Hollande. Both are weak politicians, weak managers.
Sarkozy is a hypocrite and pro-American, Hollande is just... a strange guy without any charisma or serious political accomplishments or a bright biography. (Much of his career was "made" for him by his former "almost wife" S. Royal who could get presidency instead of him).
And, although many French natives won't agree to me, but it's just a personal idea of a foreigner: J. Chirac was a relatively good President, not like Sarkozy or Hollande, he maintained foreign prestige of France and could do something for the country, while keeping autonomy in relations with the USA (direct analogy with C. de Gaulle).

It's possible that we will have a big surprise at the next elections. And like it or not

I'm 100% sure that any right-winged politician won't be elected to serve as a French President, but i suppose that Hollande's defeat is obvious and next President will be a representative of conservative party, not a nationalist like M. Le Pen though.
Communists have no chances, too, and socialists will lose some votes.
But Sarkozy won't come back to the policy circles, it was his official declaration and his wife confirmed it in her late interview. Sarkozy was too controversial and not as effecient as he promised to be. He was more known for his brave and rather efficient work in the government, not for his presidency. Many French people rejected him both as a ruler and personality. Moreover, i never met any French who'd d say he supported Sarkozy and his course.

I disagree. With the unpopularity of the government there is a strong probability that he will come back. I'm not rich at all, but I think that he wants to defend employment and the "rich", as you said, are the managers. With the crisis, they would go away and settle in other countries. By helping them, they would stay and preserve the staff. And the money managers have is, for a big part, used to create new jobs and new products. Never forget that a manager never sleeps, as he (or she) has constantly problems. They merit their money. But it's true that there is a problem with the "poor", the beggars. And nobody, in my opinion, can help them.

According to me the children adopted by homosexuals could be rejected by society. Because people will fear them as they will fear the parents. Not long ago I was not against gays, and it's true that it's their right to live this way. But now, I disagree
because I think of the children. I fear as well that there gonna be a danger for the natural mothers in the third world as they could be "forced" by the husband to be pregnant in order to receive money (if it's the case). If so, poor women !!!

For normal people, gays are not ok at all. It's just a perversion.
Just as pedophily and other similar things.
French people, axactly as many other Europeans, should feel shame for accepting homosexuality and even promoting it abroad!

You don't need to wait for the future, as USA started to decline in 2008 when their systematic corruption in the financial industry decided to put not only America in crisis but also the world. The funny thing is, this started since 1940, and the US government bailed all the bankrupted banks out. Of course, this put the whole nation into dept. Globally, they aren't doing very well either since their international competition such as China produces more quantity of exports at a cheaper price, so their annual GDP must decline at some extent. However, they're making up the lacking with their developed technology and online network. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube ect, these are all American based and we all know how powerful online network is. I'm only looking at both pros and cons but there is more cons than pros, as I haven't even mention NASA, Government ect yet.

I think that China begins to be the next superpower in the world. For instance at the latest Olympic Games, China has been second, with only one gold medal for USA. I think USA will still be a superpower, but no longer the first. And I think China prepares the moment they will go to the moon and Mars. I don't blame China, because they use all their capacities for this. I think USA has the problem of the crisis that B. OBAMA has to face. The budget of NASA has been cut for a part. It's an American private society which is expected to send people to Mars, but I think China will be the first. And there are as well other countries which could do the same, I think of India and Brazil. For Europe we have such a crisis that we gonna be unable to settle on the Moon or Mars, in a short future...

Yes, in my opinion, there is no way to balance the federal budget without making significant cuts in the United States spending. With all the debt accumulated through unnecessary wars, inefficient health care, and expensive social services, there is no way the United States' government will be able to sustain the economy much longer without some sort of reform.
Just my view on it :P

Philosophie - "Education and society"

At the heart of it, what really is education? Is it just Society's way of bending our views into their own principles and morals? Do we learn the truth or the accepted 'done thing'. Are these ever the same? ;) think about it.

I think that there are 3 kinds of education : first at home, then in the scholar system, and finally our own experience of life. But in France more and more chldren and teenagers have become a "danger". I think it's the fault of their frequentations and maybe of their parents who admit quite anything. I support private schools and high schools. It's where I had been taken. Private system is very strict in order to give to youth good studies and then a good job. Our experience of life takes the possibility to get stronger (mentally)and to know the reality of the world we live in.

Francis was never a foundator of Jesuits.
The foundator was Ignatius of Loyola.

I hope he won't be an integrist. All the popes we had were intolerants. But the name he has chosen has a particular symbolism : it's the name of the fondator of Jesuits (company of Jesus).

I don't think North Korea ever will declare a war on South Korea or the USA, unless they had China or Russia backing them (both of which would probably not).
Believe it or not, Kim Jong Un is not crazy. He knows exactly what he's doing. He revels up his citizens with war and fighting the foreigners as a way to distract attention away from the problems that exist in North Korea (food shortages, poverty, etc.).
Either way, I hope that war does not happen for the sake of all the innocent lives that would be lost on both sides :(

I agree that North Korea has the number, but I think that country has, as they said on the news, an arsenal able to hit America. And that possible war could turn in a world war. And yes, I also think South Korea is in danger as well, like some other capitalist and free countries. The world has become mad. Of course, I support freedom countries and I hope nothing will occured.

I am not sure at this point. If Kim Jong Unstable tries anything he dooms him self. All north Korea has is numbers, but america and the south have fire power.

Société / Politique - "Can there be a European identity?"

Who believes that there should be a Pan-European identity? Do you think people think of themselves as European citizens, or, say, French citizens? Will there ever be time where one can describe their 'nationality' as European?

I'm a British citizen, and for purely non-eurosceptic reasons I don't want this to happen, neither do I think will it happen. I mean, during the times of the British Empire, did the inhabitants of the colonies call themselves British? For example, I'm pretty sure the Chinese citizens of Hong Kong didn't change their nationality due to imperial rule!
