The Difficulty and Harmfulness of Cultural Imperialism Yelling Rosan Blog

Cultural imperialism

Representatives of large language groups are not overwhelmed by the feeling that they are losing their own identity and culture when they can only use their own language to a limited extent on the international internet. As many sociologists and linguists have pointed out, languages ​​also bring with them the culture of the country represented by the speakers. These habits can differ greatly from those of a country represented by a small language group and can even be harmful or offensive. Google’s translator has made the situation a little easier, but its ability to translate Indo-European and non-Indo-European languages ​​is still at most satisfactory at best. Thus, it is clear that in the case of poems, for example, its use is out of the question. It’s also surprising that you can’t give Google Translator a character, what points in the article it should not be translated. Such a feature would be necessary in a multilingual article comparing, for example, the features of different languages.

الفعل ورد الفعل

حلم الدرويش

عندما سقطت التفاحة على رأس نيوتن تحرك عقله كرد فعل وحاول تفسير لماذا سقطت إلى الأسفل ولم تصعد إلى الأعلى ؟ وتوصل لإكتشاف الجاذبية الأرضية ثم وضع بعدها العديد من القوانين التى جعلته من أشهر علماء الفيزياء , على عكس الكثير من البشر يمرون بمواقف مشابهة لموقف نيوتن ويصدر عنهم ردود أفعال مختلفة فمنهم من يكتفى بأكل التفاحة أو لا يلتفت لها على الأطلاق . من أهم القوانين التى وضعها إسحاق نيوتن (قانون الفعل ورد الفعل) الذى ينص على : ( لكل فعل رد فعل مساوى له فى المقدار ومضاد له فى الاتجاه ).

ينطبق هذا القانون فى مجال الفيزياء على الطبيعة والكون الذى نعيش فيه ويمكن ملاحظته خلال أبسط مظاهر الحياة مثل : سقوط المطر فى الصحراء(فعل) ظهور نباتات بعد فترة فى الصحراء(رد فعل), كما ينطبق على الحيوانات حيث أن أغلب الحيوانات الضارة لا تقوم باللسع أو العض والمهاجمة إلا كرد فعل نابع من خوفها من الطرف الآخر وليس…

Europe’s caution over Oxford vaccine about more than the science | World news | The Guardian

Experts say that the numbers of blood clots and thrombocytopenia cases in people who have been vaccinated is no higher than in the population that has not received the jab. The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis, representing medical experts around the world, said on Friday that “the small number of reported thrombotic events relative to the millions of administered Covid-19 vaccinations does not suggest a direct link”.

Blood clots are common, they said, but not more common in people who have had a Covid jab, from evidence so far. They recommended that even people with a history of blood clots or taking blood-thinning drugs should go and get their vaccination.

B117 deadlier than other COVID-19 strains, more data affirm | CIDRAP

The B117 COVID-19 variant, which was first identified in the United Kingdom in October 2020, may pose a 61% higher risk of 28-day mortality, according to a study published today in Nature.

The finding is in line with last week’s BMJ study that reported B117 had a 64% higher 28-day risk of death among people older than 30, although both studies note absolute 28-day mortality risk remains low for most populations.

Sutileza do amor…(the power of love) por Gandhi – Mágica Mistura

“There were tyrants and murderers…
And for a while, they seemed invincible…
But in the end, they always fall.
Always think about it.

The forts are only for a moment, like the dream of an afternoon that lasts only a moment. In the end, they’re always broken. They’re like dust in the wind. Love is the most subtle force in the world.”

✨ ✨ Mahatma Gandhi
