Rumi’s poems, stories, anecdotes are a unique phenomenon in the Persian literature due to their depth and richness of the themes they cover. Rumi…

However, after I completed this tremendously effective religion course, miracles had made my life more meaningful and purposeful. This course also had a great impact on my definition of, view of, and attitudes toward the real meaning of religion. Throughout the past ten weeks, I have…

Back in the summer of last year I was given the details of what my final major project would entail. I was pleased to see that I had the chance to put together my own brief, from which, I could work on a nine month long project. My initial thoughts were of what interested me socially and of what area of the multimedia sector I want to specialise in.

On a personal note, I felt that there were too many sites on where the music is…

What makes African Americans so different from Caucasians? Ever since the 1800’s there has been a problem with Segregation! Blacks and whites were never considered “equal” but instead were considered different in every way. It came to the point where the two races couldn’t even drink the same water. Why was it so wrong to be different? It began in the late 1800’s. Although it seems that segregation never had a beginning, it feels as if it has always been that blacks and whites have never been equal. In the early 1800’s, the Jim Crow laws were adopted. These laws stated that blacks and whites had to have their own…

When I was a little kid I used to have a kaleidoscope (a cylinder with mirrors in it, at one side there where all kinds of coloured beads and at the other side you could look through it. When you looked through it and turned it round, you saw all kinds of coloured figures.) After I looked through it for the first time I desperately tried to find out how it worked and where all those beautiful coloured figures came from. I understood that it had something to do with light and darkness, because there appeared no coloured image when I put my hand before the side where the light…
