The price we pay for celebrity ads
Al-JazirahWE need to organize advertising via social media platforms, such as Snapchat, Twitter and Instagram. Many so-called celebrities use these tools to advertise products through their personal accounts and their reach depends on the number of followers they have.With the increasing popularity of Snapchat in Saudi Arabia, these celebrities promote various shops, products and activities, which could be random and chaotic, as long as it profits them. This has potential damage to the consumer, who may fall victim to their promotion gimmicks.People in Saudi Arabia do not have sufficient media literacy to recognize whether a particular celebrity is actually advertising something of value or not. This is tantamount to exploitation of the love of followers for personal and financial...

Men abuse their power to control women
AlbiladMen are the main cause of half the problems of the world. Let us imagine a world without men for one day. Women would walk in streets with comfort and ease and, more importantly, with a strong feeling of freedom. They would swim in seas and in swimming pools, and would walk in parks late at night without the fear of being attacked. No woman would cry. In fact, life would be a bed of roses. However, if a woman were to be asked if she wanted to live in a world without men, she would emphatically answer: “No, of course not!”Men are the reason why many women continue to suffer today. The courts receive hundreds of cases in which women complain against their husbands. Even single women complain about them. Take a look at social media websites and you will see many unmarried young...

Irresponsible husbands pay little attention to their wives
Al-WatanEvery young woman dreams of one day getting married to a knight in shining armor who will love and cherish her and treat her like a princess. Every young woman dreams of a beautiful world, and that is why she is meticulous with each and every detail of her wedding because she wants everything to be perfect.Most husbands today, however, believe that their only role is to provide for their family and take care of their homes. In fact, many of them are oblivious to their responsibilities as caring husbands. They spend most of the time hanging out with their friends when not working. Some of them only spend a little time with their wives and children during the weekdays and weekends as well. Deep down, those husbands believe that they are doing the right thing, blatantly ignoring the...

Change begins with you!
AlbiladIf you want to solve some of the problems your community faces, then you should begin with your own behavior. If you want others to follow in your footsteps, then you need to set a great example for them. This is a universal fact.We all want to see clean public parks where we can spend quality time with our family in a clean environment, where a person does not have to worry that his children might get wounded by broken glass left by an irresponsible person. We all want to go to parks where we can enjoy the fresh air. Unfortunately, most if not all of our parks are unclean and littered with trash because most families who visit them do not care or are unaware of the importance of protecting the environment.If you want to fix this problem, start with yourself. Next time you visit a...

We must protect our children from deviant terrorist ideology
OkazI thank Allah and then our loyal security officers who were able to foil terrorists who were threatening the Kingdom. The terrorists were connected to Daesh (the self-proclaimed IS) and were targeting two buildings belonging to the Ministry of Defense in Riyadh. They planned to blow up the buildings. The Kingdom’s security managed to uncover the plan and identify a group of people who were working for foreign bodies and were attempting to undermine the Kingdom’s security and interests. They were all arrested and identified as being both Saudis and expatriates. However, investigations are still taking place to track down the rest of the terrorists connected to them.The arsenal found at their hideout in the Al-Rimal district of Riyadh, which included explosive belts, bombs and...

Schools should allow students to be creative
Alriyadh NewspaperRecently, the Ministry of Education added an extra hour to each school day. This additional hour is to let students be creative away from their regular classes and take part in various extracurricular activities. The Ministry of Education has also promised to make this extra activity hour a success. To show its seriousness, the minister of education himself penned an article explaining the benefits of this extra hour.Unfortunately, there have been many opposing opinions attacking the minister, especially from teachers! Such teachers may not be aware of the state of our schools in the past. Nowadays, many people believe that we are in the age of enlightenment, something that suggests that our schools were full of ignorance in the past!I remember my middle school days when...

Girls’ schools need suitable PE facilities
OkazIt is easy for the Ministry of Education to prepare a syllabus for female teachers who will be responsible for teaching physical education. It might also be easy to prepare special courses for these teachers to deliver PE lessons. The ministry is also able to hire new PE teachers.All of this seems easy to do since the ministry has finally agreed to allow PE to be taught to girls. This happened because the ministry realized the impact of PE on building students’ health and personality.However, the most difficult task is to find a suitable place for students to take part in effective PE lessons. This needs to be given serious consideration since many Saudi schools are housed in inadequate rented buildings. There is a great need for facilities in which teachers and students can...

Mobile cameras and govt officials
MakkahFOR the past several years we have been looking for a means to convince government officials on the need to respond quickly to issues of the street, but we could not find one until the arrival of cell phone cameras that taught officials how to start their talk without denial.We now see government officials responding quickly to video clips circulated through social media websites and other media channels. As a result citizens consider it the best way to communicate with officials after many state agencies ignored official channels for communication.Photos and video clips circulated by citizen journalists, depicting mistakes and negligence on the part of officials, have received strong response from government departments and this is a good development. But the problem is that people...

Collective escape
Al-WatanWHEN there is a golden opportunity for many of the employees to pay for retirement they will not hesitate to do so!There are programs that have been tested with a functional and financial return on the employees who succeeded in some sectors, and through which they managed to restructure their sectors and support them with new and young competent workers.But here's the odd thing, when the staff of a department — as it happened with employees of the Ministry of Education — work, and stand up in long queues in search of the retirement decision, and they are paid high salaries and have long vacations, the situation requires a huge workshop to find out the secret!The recent report by the Public Pension Agency says that 60 percent of those who have opted for early retirement...

Conditions for women driving!
OkazONCE the Royal Decree was announced to approve of new traffic systems and executive regulations, including granting driver's license to both men and women, some sites started promoting conditions that they expected to apply, reducing women's enjoyment of their right to drive. This right that this decree granted her after long decades has been like an impossible dream.The requirements or conditions that some minds came up with under pseudonyms in social media are nothing but a product of the shock wave that the royal decree caused to many of those who opposed Saudi women's driving using religious arguments that have nothing to do with religion and social excuses that were destroyed by the joy this decree caused, which confirmed that we live in Custodian of the Two Holy...
