Mansoureh Sharifzadeh
Tehran- Iran
24 July, 2011
The collapse of the Pahlavi dynasty in the late 1970s gave birth to an infant named the ‘Islamic Republic Of Iran’, with the purpose of transforming the history of the monarchy of Iran into an everlasting Islamic conclusion.
The early Iranians began training their children as infants, so the new born baby was being raised, but with the purpose of having no trace of ‘its’ late Zoroastrian ancestors. The baby was being given enough commands to digest the guidelines of a true Islam that was[......]

Young Chinese Friends and Intercultural/crossgenerational friendships: Michael H. Prosser, Ph.D.
In September, 2011, I will have had almost 10 years of China experiences, so many that some of my young Chinese friends call me “ChiAmerican.” I came to China just about three weeks before the 9/11 attacks on the twin towers of the New York Trade Center and the US Pentagon. Then in Yangzhou, we had very little English tv news coverage, and my son Leo called me in the middle of the night (China time) to tell me about it. I had not been watching tv the evening that it happened in China time, an[......]
