ایرانی‌هائی که در سنین جوانی و پس از آن مهاجرت کرده‌ا‌ند و در  کشورهای غریب زندگی میکنند، نه فرهنگ ایران را، که هر آینه در حال تحول است،  دارند و نه فرهنگ کشور میزبان را کاملا پذیرفته‌ا‌ند. کسانی که در کشور میزبان خود ده‌ها سال زندگی کرده‌ا‌ند، تغییر فرهنگ را در آن کشور و در عرض آن مدت تجربه کرده‌ا‌ند. چرا که فرهنگ هیچگاه ساکن نیست و همیشه در حال تغییر و تحول است. به همین دلیل، زمانی که مهاجر به کشور مبدأ پس از سالها باز میگردد، خود را در یک فرهنگ غریبه میابد. در واقع این اشخاص از هر دو فرهنگ عقب مانده‌ا‌ند، و هر چقدر هم پا بزنند به هیچکدام نمیرسند!

When it comes to mass shootings in the United States (like the one that just took place in Nashville), the figures are unequivocal. “Active shooter” cases have become more common in recent years.

One particular weapon, the AR-15-style rifle, stands out in recent incidents.

The Emerging New World Economy

Richard Wolff

April 17, 2023

The emerging new always both frightens and inspires the fading old. History is that unity of opposites. Sharp-edged rejections of what is new clash with enthusiastic celebrations of it. The old gets pushed away even as bitter denials of that reality surge. The emerging new world economy displays just such contradictions. Four major developments can illustrate them and underscore their interactions.

NanLevinson

April 14, 2023

After more than 20 years of losing wars, recruiting for the U.S. Army is now officially a mess. Last year, that service fell short of its goal by 15,000 recruits, or a quarter of its target. Despite reports of better numbers in the first months of this year, Army officials doubt they will achieve their objective this time around either. The commanding general at Fort Jackson, the South Carolina facility that provides basic training to 50% of all new members of the Army, called the recruiting command’s task the hardest since the all-volunteer military was launched in 1973. The Army’s leaders were alarmed enough to make available up to $1.2 billion for recruitment incentives and related initiatives.
