My name is meshal aldrees, I am from Saudi Arabia and I was born in Riyadh city. My childhood was enjoyable, I was the youngest child.

I have 2 brothers and 1 sister, my whole family member lives in the same neighborhood and this include my uncles , ants and cozens. I am very close to my family.

I have a lot of cousins 7 of them where in the same age as me. We always hang out after school to play soccer.

After I graduate from high school I applied for a scholarship to Canada. It usually takes time to accept you ,so I applied to prince Sultan University and my major was finance. During my 3 semesters in the college I was working as real-estate agent. I had a very good experianse.



. Then I got a litter says you have been excepted for the scholarship in Canada and I was happy about it. so I went to Canada I took a 5 months English program. Then I moved to the U.S, the reason behind that was The number of the universities in the U.S and I can have many choses.

I moved to Delaware to complete my English program. and after that I applied to st.marys university but with a different major, which was industrial engineering. I think I can be different than my father and my brothers who had a business majors.



My hobbies are playing and watching soccer. And when I was 18 i always went with my brothers and cozens to hunting trips and it was enjoyable.

My future goals and dreams are to work with Aramco Company which is one of the biggest petroleum companies in the world. I would like to work to gain the experience. And after that open a business with my brothers.

Meshal Aldrees SE1321 kalpana Iyengar Death of a Homeless Man ===John Griffin, who was a Korean War veteran died at the age of fifty-five. Mr. Griffin was a homeless man, who was burnt alive just a few feet from water. No one knows how this homeless man was burnt alive, but many knew that he was an amazing person. John did have many issues like being homeless and an alcoholic, but was well known and well respected by many in his city of South Boston. He was not even well recognized as these bad things, but rather as a streetwise philosopher. This story shows how messed up America really can be. === ===Hundreds to thousands to millions of people in America are homeless and hungry. Like John, he slept on a piece of ply wood and made his home there. At his funeral, many people attended, even those who we consider important. One of the people who spoke of him at his funeral mentioned that he wanted to live apart from the shelters. But what would drive a person who fought for his country to just live out in the gutters of America. The author makes a point that maybe we as a country need to re-look at the shelters for homeless people. Why wasn’t this man given help financially and mentally for his alcoholic problem and living situation? “It goes to show you that this country is not meeting the needs of people with physical and mental problems”, a quote from the mayor who attended John’s funeral. === ===The author makes a good closing by reflecting on what America has achieved in all its huffing and puffing. As he looks back on this nation, he doesn’t look at how the stock market is, but thinks about John Griffin. It’s sad that our nation’s media would report on the stock market, or the news of a polyp on the President’s colon, but has no care in the world to mention John Griffin or of the millions who are homeless. It’s ironic that we brag to the world about valuing sovereignty of self, but value more the right of selected individuals to accumulate wealth and power at the expense of its people and planet, empathizing with those who actually suffer. ===

Bullying

Meshal Aldrees SE1321 kalpana Iyengar

One of the most painful aspects of bullying is that it is relentless. Most people can take one episode of teasing or name calling or being shunned at the mall. However, when it goes on and on, bullying can put a person in a state of constant fear.

** Summary: ** A fanatically prolific movie directed by Karan Johar, with efforts to promote the message of racism issues encountered by the Muslims residents of USA, after the incidence of 9/11, hit the Bollywood cinema’s on February 12, 2010. The cast enrolls the leading actor Shahrukh Khan, Kajol Devgan, Jimmy Shergill and Sonia Jehan. Shahrukh Khan (SRK) naming Rizwan Khan in the movie is subjected to the Asperger’s Syndrome, which is a condition that hinders a person to interact socially in a normal way, infringing the social communicative skills and dismantling confidence in oneself. Rizwan works as a salesman for the Mehnaz herbal products door to door in order to earn some money. One day, he comes across Mandira (Kajol Devgan) in a beauty parlor, while advertising his products. Mandira is a contemporary hair stylist who works at a Saloon. She is a divorcee, with a child named Sameer. Rizwan gets interested in Mandira, and she also somehow falls in love with his honesty. The couple decides to get married in spite of the religious barriers and the open criticism and sarcasm for their marriage. Post marriage circumstances initially are carried along well heretofore the moment America confronts the holocaust struck by the incidence of 9/11. Mandiras’ son Sameer gets murdered by some of the kids with the opposing religion. Mandira, devastated blames Rizwan for the demise of his son, as his second name was Khan. Rizwan tries to explain Mandira but she accused him to be the reason for his child’s death. Rizwan on the other hand travels all over the country tracking the President of America in order to tell him that he is a Muslim and he’s not a terrorist. His expedition undergoes many obstacles in order to get her beloved wife back, finally proving him to be an innocent and Muslims as anti-terrorists. ** Reflection: ** The movie “My Name is Khan” is a story that encompasses the struggling life of a man suffering from Asperger’s, who sets onto a journey to win back his love, with the purest and most difficult ways, winning back not only his love, but the love of people around the nation. Rizwan is the center of attention in the movie. Marking his personality as a benevolent, straightforward and candid individual, Rizwan Khan is the kind of person who offers all he has to the people he think are good and conversely, strongly negate people with ill-will regardless of the consequences. He has been pictured a man of rules. Rizwan follows what his mother had taught him, that there are just two kinds of people in this world. First are the ones who are good-natured and the second who are bad-natured. He believes himself to be categorized as a good-natured human being and just can’t comprehend double meanings or read between the lines, as he is suffering from the syndrome. So he confronts major issues due to his straightforwardness. The calamity that hit America ruined the lives of the Muslims residing in the US. Mandira’s son is victimized and assassinated due to his second name khan, making him a Muslim apparently. Mandira traumatized by this incidence blame Rizwan the reason for his son’s death and holds him responsible for ruining their lives. I personally happy about how the movie shows Muslim people try their best to get with western people on the point of Islam is not a bad religion and it is as good as other religions a religion of peace. Upon the release, the film broke many box office records, and it became the highest-grossing Bollywood film overseas. The movie is a two and a half hour long fanatic drama with well-directed, arousing scenes. The story gyrates around Rizwan khan, and his efforts to meet the President of America in order to condemn the false statement that accused him to be a terrorist.

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"> How far do we, Arab/Muslims, have to go in flaunting our moderation? Would post condolences, apologies and condemn banners solve the problem? But apologizing for what? For something we haven't done? Is it a double act of auto-stigmatization and auto-justification? <span style="line-height: 16.5pt; margin-bottom: 18.85pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="color: #111111; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Most of Arabs and Muslims have publicly condemned Bin Laden for his atrocities all the time. And those who did not either doesn't feel like that they should do because they have nothing to do with it, or a small minority show support to Bin Laden and similar terrorists under the name of Islam. But does this mean that the world then should hold us Arab and Muslims responsible? <span style="color: #111111; font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">One of the many short comings which have arisen in the West is judging Arab and Islam by the conduct of a minority of its people. By doing this, segments of Western society have deliberately played off the desperate actions of many Arab and Muslims, and have given it the name of Islam. Generalizing in such a manner is not seen as being objective, yet we find that the Western world is foremost in propagating this outlook on Arab and Islam. The very name Islam comes from the Arabic root word 'salama' which means peace. Islam is a religion which is based upon achieving peace through the submission to the will of Allah. Thus, by this very simple linguistic definition, one can ascertain as to what the nature of this religion is. If such a religion is based on the notion of peace, then how is it that so many acts done by its adherents are contrary to peace? The answer is simple. Such actions, if not sanctioned by the religion, have no place with it. They are not Islamic and should not be thought of as Islamic. Nor they are of Arab culture and should not be thought of as Arab.
