On this week, we took unit 6 which it talks about The Mind. We discuss in the class about the mind and we shared the idea with the classmate. Also, we talk a bout the dream. Everyone in the class talk about their culture. In all culture have suppression. Likewise, in my culture we have suppression which it if you dream bad thing you keep it secret and don’t say it for any person because when you say it , it might happen. Also, if it’s good dream you can say it. But, it’s opposite to Juan culture. In addition, there are many theorizing the dream. For example, if you dream you have rabbits the theorizing for this dream is form each rabbit you will have million dollars. Also, when we were in the lab and we searched about some information. For example, I read about the cabs drivers in London, they can remember the direction with no navigation and London is one of the biggest cities. Also, we did IQ Test to see how we are intelligent. We all do it and we are enjoy do this because we can see how we are intelligent. This is really good time and we enjoy doing like this. This is first time we do it. Also, the topic of this week was really interesting because we know more about other culture and suppressions.

On this week we study about the Aesthetics and Beauty. It’s really interesting topic. Under this topic we discuss a lot of things with student and we know a lot a bout different culture know. One of these topics is tattoos. Tattoos are marked which people do it to be different from other people. Tattoos are familiar in some country, and in other country tattoos are kind of bad things like wise in Japan the people who put a tattoos are gangsters. In my country, nobody put the tattoos but there is something it maybe it’s similar to tattoos but it disappear after few days it’s called Al-Henna, it’s just for lady not for a man. I think tattoos have many disadvantage. First, when you make the tattoos you can’t disappear. Second, it makes a lot of diseases like cancer. Also, when you have tattoo and you come old, the tattoo looks like blurring. In addition, what I think Al-Henna better than tattoos because it has benefit for person, it doesn’t make dieses. Also, tattoos are burn yourself but the al-henna just draws what you want. On the other hand, I think it has an advantage which is covering the scar. Finally, when I get a chance to do tattoo I will not do it because I like my normal body with out any thing drew on it.

Male and female both of them are human. Everyone have their responsibility. Also both of them have their characteristics. Male and female both have his/her responsibility to do it.
In my culture, male has more responsibility more than women. He can protect the female which it his wife, his mother, his sister and his daughter. He has emotion but he is disappeared it because he didn’t want to show he is a weak. Male work to bring money and to take care for his children and his wife.

I addition, female is very weak. She just takes care for his husband. Some of female don’t work just work in her house to take care for his children. Female is very emotional, in my country the women can’t be the judge because she is very emotional maybe she will be at wrong and the people can be the victim. She must obey his husband.

In conclusion, in my country, male and female are equilibrium. Both of them has/ her job. But female must obey the male rules to be saving because he takes care of her.

Formal education in the State of Qatar started in 1952. Since then the comprehensive educational policy has developed on solid bases; adherence to the heritage of the Islamic nation and its moderate character as well as commitment to the development of educational curricula and systems and constantly endeavors to benefit from modem and technological achievements and new educational experiments.

This is a step intended to encourage students to work hard and assert themselves in the rapidly changing world of science and technology.

I was a lucky student to win a scholarship to pursue my studies in the USA, the country which is pioneering in patents and scientific innovations. I can always boast of being selected by my country to get education in a country that possesses the best educational institutions in the world.

Needless to say, our country is serving its citizens in the best possible way and it is pouring huge resources to develop its human wealth. In return, I believe it is the duty of every citizen to pay back the favor by serving his country well and demonstrate the sense of gratitude by being loyal and putting the common good before the personal one.

One day, Nina invited one of her former students to come to our class because she teaches her children at home which is called "Home Schooled". She came with three of her child, two boys and one girl. Every student in the class had questions because it's a new and different way for us. We asked her and she answered the question and she described more for us are explain the advantages and disadvantages. Before she ended her talk, she showed us a lot of items and books which she used it to teach her children and the method who she taught them.

Now, we are in the last of semester. I don't believe that we are in the end of semester because it was like yesterday. When we began and today we are in the end. I had wonderful time this semester I met a lot of friends. I'll really miss the teachers and my friends. By writing this I tell all my friends and teachers "I will miss all of you."

In the trip to the Library of Congers, I had a funny story. My friend Ahmed and I were late, and we lost in the wrong building which this building of the Library of Congress, where we couldn't use our phones, but in the end God blessed us and we found the teachers and students by accident. Then we went with the group of students to the section where they put the history books. In the end of the Congers library trip I went to the shop to buy some souvenirs, so I won't forget this trip. After that we went to the Green house and I found many ways to save the earth and to decrease the pollution, but I found to saving the earth means losing your money because everything in the Green House was very expensive. They should make it cheap to encourage the people to use it. In the end, I'm very happy that I went on this trip.
