Are men more creative than women                                             Gathered from Mosaic one                                                              By Margaret Mead      

Margaret Mead, one of the most famous and widely read writers in the field of anthropology, expressed her  idea on in creativity in men and women. In the following article she gives her opinion on why men have achieved more than women 

in almost every field of study throughout history.  

Throughout history it has been men, for the most part, who have     

engaged in public life. Men have sought public achievement and      

recognition, while women have obtained their main satisfaction by   

bearing and rearing children. In women's eyes, public achievement 

 makes a man more attractive as a marriage partner. But for the men the situation is reserved. The more a woman achieves publicly, the less desirable she seems as a wife. There are three possible positions one can take about male and female creativity. The first is that males  are inherently more creative in all fields. The second is that if it were not for the greater appeal of creating and cherishing young human beings. Females would be as creative as males. If this were the case, then if men were permitted the enjoyment women have always had in rearing young children, male creativity might be reduced also. (There is some indication in the United States today that this is so.) The third possible position is that certain forms of creativity are more congenial to one sex than to the other and that the great creative acts will therefore come from only one sex in a given field .

Three practical skills to improve your reading

One underlining; First of all read the material once. Then the reading and underline key words or phrases. They should be around 20 to 30% of the material. You can use two colors for underlining: one for main concepts and the other for statistics and examples. Two: Marginal glossing; before elaborating on this point, its better to define the exact meanings of marginal and glossing. Marginal is called to a white space in your book, and gloss     means key explanations about some points which you have written by yourself. Generally marginal glossing is a note in the margin of your book. This method has three main advantages: at first this save your time, and then you can also think of important questions, which may be given to you later. And third, when you study theses notes stands out and remind you of important points as well. Three: Mapping; by this method you con map the points, perhaps of a chapter into one page, besides you will be more familiar about key points which you have faced before. To make a map you must select major and          minor points of the article, and then arrange them in your map. Treelike designs are the most common form of mapping.

There is nothing to lose :

The review on “ The Devils Advocate “

We have always faced persons who say they sometimes do something which astonish the others , or sometimes express words which is impossible to say in usual times .

The majority of moralists and religious and religious experts say , such problems result from the interference of devil in our daily lives .

It is just enough to watch a television program ( espe- cially in western countries ) in order to be aware or the importance level of religious and moral concepts .

Unfortunately , most of the announcers of the programs count the bewaring of devil as stupid  superstition .

Cinema and TV programs are one of the best way of spreading spirituality and ideality among the people , the nations and the world overall.

In the period of 1970 – 1980 , Hollywood kept it self aloof from religion and morality . There fore most directors made some kinds of movies which really didn’t show the exact value of spirituality .

On those decades (1970-1980) , the  condition of American society and Hollywood was so similar that it was difficult to know whether it was the society which was influenced by the movies or that was the movies which showed the essence of the society .

In the early decades of 1990 , the condition of Hollywood and American society was in its manner . But in the middle years , every thing was a subject to changes .

Suddenly some movies were produced in cinemas which had moral and religious tenor , exactly like movies un the period of 1940 – 1950 . 

As the changes in Hollywood approach seemed strange , it was really admirable .

One of the movies which is counted moral by its  nature is the devils advocate : It was one of the masterpiece of Tiller Hekford , which was produced in 1997 .

There is a wonderful scene in the last sequence of this movie which exactly shows the meaning of avoid the devil , where john Milton (Al pacino started to give some sanatic advice and mentioned his unclean purpose .

Milton says .sin is exactly like a carpet bag which is full of brick ,and the responsibility of all humen is just throwing it on the ground . To continue his words he refers to some rulls which gave the divin roots ; and says . when he is not here, why we have to worship him ?!

But the most humanistic point of his words is when he says .I’m one who defend all human beings and there is no one who is as humane tarian as me .

Twenty century was mine , and I want to be the owner of the other centuries .

The basic desire for Milton is just a family , who listen to his words and transmit those words to the others  .

Kevin Lumax (kiano Reeves ) understands the meaning of his words and the key sentence he finds is .but you are lost versus the holy book , your fate has been formed to be lost .

One of the moral point of this film is , it is not necessary to believe in a special religion , to be Muslem or Christian, in order to avid devilish decisions or to succeed in different dilemmas we face in our life ; it is just enough to don’t violate the moral limitations which are fixed proper to the nature of all humen .

The other important point of this film is the devil existence is the ban of our lives , a power which can destroy in no cent natures loy its permanence and sheer force in every seconds .

So in order to live better , in order to be stronger and more confident  , lets rely on the best power , who is the most beautiful fact !

The following article was the first one I reported in reading class. It was beautiful. I’ve written the definition of new words below.

Hero : most important character in a story circumstance : conditions that influence a person or event . impairment : weakness 0 disability

Gentleness : not rough or violant

Keenness off appreciation : To be willing for apprecinting something .

Merry: full of or causing laughter and fun / happy lethargy : unawareness .

Faculty : natural power of the mind or body manifold : many in number or kind .

Imagine a moment of being blind and deaf , without any hearing , without any sound . what would your life be like exactly ? How would you connect to reality ?

All of us have read different stories in which the hers has only a limited and a specified time to live . some times it is as long as a year , sometimes as short as just 24 hours . But always we are interested in discovering just how the her of the story would choose to spend the last years or his last hours . Have you ever thought about ? such articles set us thinking and wondering what we should do under similar circumstance ? what happiness should we find in reviewing the past , what regrets ?

It would be an excellent rull to love each day , as if you should die tomorrow . such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life .

We should live each day with a gentleness or a keenness of appreciator which are often lost , when the times stretches especially for group of people who summarize their life in eating , drinking and just being merry for one moment . The same lethargy , that we have to be aware of that , is about the usage of our faculties and senses . Only a deaf appreciate hearing only the blind realize the manifold blessing which lies in the eye . Unfortunately , those who have never sffered from the impairment of sight and hearing , selsom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties .

It is as the same old story that says we don’t know the exact value of something until we lost them .

It would be a blessing if each human being become blind and deaf for a few days during the early adult age . Darkness would moke him more appreciative of sight , silence would teach him the joys of sounds .

So , from today , try and try , more and more , try your most , to get your best . All of us are in the first years of the youth . why we don’t try to be the best one . use your complete faculties in your body .

Who knows perhaps this is the last day that we are alive .
