Why do parents send their children to school without breakfast?
OkazIt is strange to hear parents complaining about the food provided in schools. They say that it is not nutritious. Moreover, we see many parents today depending on school meals and allowing their children to leave home without breakfast. Are these parents unaware of the effects of not having breakfast before school? The meal at the school at 10 am everyday can never replace breakfast. I believe all students must have breakfast at home so that they are able to concentrate in class.Parents who criticize school meals should blame themselves first. They should admit that they are not providing the right nutrition for their own children. If you and your children went to bed early, then it would be easy for you to wake up early and prepare breakfast together before anyone leaves home. It is...

Let us be different but united
Al-HayatDifferences are blessings in our daily life. In fact, if we were not different we would not be special. Therefore, it is difficult for all of us to agree on one thing. However, at the same time, it is also wrong to disagree on every single thing.Criticism is what actually builds societies and leads to development. Criticism results in the creation of new ideas. However, in the Arab world we generally see that those who are criticized become furious and reject differences of opinion. We read comments that attack speakers instead of actual criticism. As a result, we need to first understand what criticism actually means and then reconsider our criticism of others.As humans, it is natural to make mistakes. It is also normal for other people to come and correct us when we do so....

Engage Saudi youth in voluntary work
Al-MadinahLast summer’s school holidays were among the longest ever, which leads us to ask: How did young people use this time to invest in their future?Unfortunately, the word investment here means wasting half the day by staying up all night and not doing anything useful. This is especially the case with teenagers and families who do not travel abroad and just stay at home. Although I have no specific statistics to prove this, this issue should be taken into consideration since it affects our country.I remember the Kingdom investing a lot of energy into encouraging voluntary work. However, we still do not have enough committed volunteers. For instance, if all of the youth in the Kingdom were to become involved in voluntary work then we could potentially generate several million hours...

The party is not over yet
Al-MadinaPREVIOUSLY, the West used to make fun of us every time the oil prices fall. Their media used to beam that the "party is over" for the Arabs.With these rapturous outbursts, they hoped for the end of an era where we made money selling petroleum and it was finally the time for us to taste poverty. However, thanks to God, each time this happens, oil prices rebounded or even rose higher after a slowdown for a limited period. As a result, the party did not end for us, whether the West liked it or not.Under the current circumstances in the Kingdom, the West is going to sing the same refrain over and over again along with some of their lackeys. Following the planned increase in the local prices of gasoline, diesel and cooking gas, they will now start talking about us struggling...

Women in leading positions
Al-JazirahTHE appointment of a Saudi woman as the deputy head of Al-Khobar Municipality was a great and important piece of news. This is not just because she is the first Saudi woman to hold such a position, but there is a dire need for women leaders in key municipal services.Women are needed in supervisory jobs in several service departments especially after the expansion of commercial and employment activities for them. The presence of women officials is essential to deal with matters concerning them and to evaluate their requirements in the manufacturing and service sectors, especially with many new products entering the market.Massive employment of women in the private sector is relatively a new phenomenon. Women are the symbol of strength, ambition and success, and they have returned...

Dynamo group's impact on economy
MakkahTHE Kingdom’s economic reform and transformation programs will definitely change society's spending. There is an increase in energy and fuel prices in addition to imposition of value added tax (VAT), hike in prices of soft drinks and tobacco and increase in some service fees.The indirect impact of taxes on expatriates and their families, increase in shop and municipal fees and lifting of subsidy received by gas, fuel and electricity companies will also change the spending behavior of people as well as their use of energy and gas.I have used the word dynamo in the headline of this article to denote those groups of society whose monthly income ranges between SR20,000 and SR50,000. These people will not benefit from subsidy because of increase in fuel and electricity prices and...

Pressing need for better health insurance coverage
MakkahIF insurance companies had responded to claims of healthcare providers properly in accordance with medical insurance policies they should have paid more than $1.5 billion to healthcare providers in the public and private sectors, thus contributing to further improving health services in the country. But insurance companies were playing tricks to avoid payment.A health insurance card holder approaches healthcare providers with the hope that he/she would receive necessary coverage for treatment of diseases. If they can satisfy the client, it will provide free publicity to the insurance company as people will be talking about its services.However, when we monitor insurance procedures closely, we find that many customers do not receive required health services and this goes against the...

Benefits of foreign scholarship
Al-WatanWE are on the threshold of the 12th phase of the foreign scholarship program, which is named after Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Many sons and daughters of the country who have obtained scholarships under the program are preparing to experience a new life.The scholarship program is not just a study tour abroad, but is an integrated experience having cultural, social and scientific dimensions. It entails much more if the students are determined to make use of the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and experience in different fields.There are several issues that are unknown to the newly selected scholarship students and may obstruct their studies. Some may have an elderly mother and there is no one to look after her. In this case a student may drop the plan to go abroad for...

The search for an ant’s kin
OkazACCORDING to Al-Arabiya.net, a Saudi citizen has filed a complaint at a court of law against an expatriate who crushed an ant right in front of his eyes in Afif town.The plaintiff said in his complaint that the ant is a creature of God and therefore has the right to live like all other creatures.The judge told him that his complaint was accepted in his capacity as a representative of the poor ant but asked him if he had the power of attorney from the family of the deceased ant to file a lawsuit on its behalf.The citizen said when he filed the complaint, he was faced with strong opposition and criticism from the court employees and other citizens but was still adamant to go ahead with the lawsuit.I personally believe that the search for the family of the ant is an impossible task. Even...

Why can’t women wear makeup in the Kingdom’s universities?
Al-WatanWomen love to look beautiful and love to apply makeup. Men should recognize this and understand that this as part of a woman’s nature. Moreover, there is nothing wrong with a woman who wants to look beautiful. We have to understand that women like to look beautiful and they feel happy and comfortable when they do so.We should not ban women from wearing makeup inside schools and universities as long as these academic institutions are restricted to only women. Unfortunately, educational institutions impose rules on female students and prevent them from using makeup and looking beautiful. In some cases, violators can be dismissed or suspended. Ignoring a woman’s nature to look beautiful and infringing on a woman’s privacy are the reasons why students protest at...
