Scott Morrison says he admires Donald Trump as a “very practical” leader “who’s not going to waste a day” in office, and has told an American newspaper he and the US president share an instinct to help those forgotten by the forces of globalisation.

“I think we both get it,” Morrison told the New York Times, of their common understanding.

في حيونة الانسان

نادية حرحش

حيونة الانسان

أن تكون بشرا فهذا امر خلقي. تخلق به، أي هناك بشر وهناك حيوان وهناك طائر وهناك حشرة وهناك زواحف وهناك سمكة وهناك مخلوقات كثيرة خلقت في هذا الكون الشاسع.

ولكن ان تكون إنسانيا، فهذه صفة خاصة جدا. أقرب الى ان تكون نادرة الوجود.

والانسنة فعل لا يرتبط فقط بصفة المخلوق، أي لا يجب ان تكون انسانا لتكون إنسانيا. يعني ممكن ان تكون كلبا او قطة او حوتا او عصفورا او نحلة وتتمتع بصفات إنسانية.

ويمكن بالطبع ان تكون انسانا متحيون.

يعني صفة الانسنة التي ارتبطت بتسمية الانسان، على الأرجح تكونت لان بالإنسان عقل يميزه عن باقي المخلوقات طور المشاعر بطرق أكثر حسية، وبالتالي نظم قواعد أخلاقية فصلته عن درب باقي المخلوقات الهائمة.

فما يميز الانسان الإنساني عن باقي الخلق، بما فيهم البشر هو تحكم اخلاقه بأفعاله. وهنا الاخلاق ليست لائحة من الصفات التي يتحلى بها المرء فتشكله لتعطيه الصفة.

City has an explicit policy of targeting protesters with mugshot tweets to ‘help create a counter-narrative’

A California police agency that published the names and photos of anti-fascist protesters on Twitter said it was creating a “counter-narrative” on social media and celebrated its high rate of retweets and “engagement”, internal records reveal.

The Berkeley police department (BPD) faced widespread backlash last month after posting the personal information of arrested activists online, leading to Fox News coverage and harassment and abuse against the leftwing demonstrators at a far-right rally. New emails have shown that the city has an explicit policy of targeting protesters with mugshot tweets, with the goal of using “social media to help create a counter-narrative”.

Salisbury poisoning suspects′ story: What doesn′t add up? | News | DW | 14.09.2018

The Salisbury Cathedral is only a 15-minute walk from the local train station, heading northwest. However, the two took exactly the opposite route, moving southeast – directly to Sergei Skripal’s neighborhood. A CCTV camera recorded them at a petrol station minutes away from his house. UK investigators believe they applied Novichok to his door handle. Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found unconscious on a park bench in the city center later that day.
