To err is human... but!
Al-MadinaAS humans, it is natural for us to commit some mistakes. However, there are small mistakes we can accept and there are some serious mistakes we cannot be silent about. In fact, these serious mistakes should be immediately dealt with whether by punishing the doers or instantly correcting the mistake. After all, committing a mistake is not the end of the road or treating it as a failure. This actually means the existence of some error that needs to be fixed and learned from. Only this way, we will get better which is by learning from our own mistakes.Some people deny their mistakes, argue and get violent about them. They might even attack the people who are trying to fix their mistakes or giving them a piece of advice. According to them, this way they will be able to make their...

What does it mean to have a homeland?
OkazTHERE is nothing more valuable than having and living in your own homeland. In fact, if you ever thought for a minute to argue about this then take a look at the rest of the Middle East. You will only realize how dangerous it is to be separated from your country when you think about the rest of the people who lost their countries and ended up as immigrants in the middle of nowhere but a chaos.We may argue about a lot of stuff here in the Kingdom but we would never go against it. Indeed, we try our best to correct the mistakes and demand for the better. We raise our voices alongside with our Kingdom against anyone who tries to cause chaos or disorder. Sometimes, we may get angry at our own countries. However, it is a fatal mistake to let some people from outside to interfere and ruin...

Divorce cases among scholarship students
Al-WatanSEEK knowledge even in China. This famous saying applies to our sons and daughters. Almost every home in our country has sent a member abroad to seek knowledge, making use of the foreign scholarship program named after Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques.Many of these scholarship students have started returning back after completing their studies at reputable international universities and institutes, especially in the US and other Western countries. We have noticed that the number of divorce cases among them is increasing.We have seen some Saudi women students divorcing their husbands and leaving their children soon after returning from abroad without any obvious or logical reasons that usually require divorce. People usually blame the wife for the incident and accuse her of losing...

Obstacles before organ donation
Al-WatanTHE year 1905 was an unforgettable year in human history. The first successful corneal transplant operation was carried out that year. The dream of making new achievements in the field continued and the first kidney transplant was successfully conducted 50 years later.The World Health Organization (WHO), meanwhile, set out the General Principles of Human Organ Transplantation in 1991, which brought about revolutionary changes in transplantation surgeries in the following decades. Since then WHO has been supervising these operations in more than 91 countries.Many people may not know that a single individual can donate more than six organs, including the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas and intestines, as well as tissues that form bones, cornea and heart valve to help save...

The impact of VAT on education
OkazSAUDI ARABIA has been providing education to its citizens free of charge since its creation. The Kingdom's founder King Abdul Aziz and his sons who ruled the country after him wanted to provide the citizens and residents with the best education at all levels free of charge. The government also distributed monthly stipends to the students at universities, professional colleges, technical institutes and schools for special needs children in order to encourage them in their studies.In addition, the government spent billions of riyals on foreign scholarships that enabled outstanding Saudi students to pursue higher education at reputable international universities and institutions abroad. These scholarships have been available since the 1950s. The government’s efforts to eradicate...

Housewives should not be called unemployed
Al-BiladHOUSEWIVES are an important segment of society and in dire need of the care and attention of all government agencies. Housewives are great women who have chosen to stay at home and take care of children. They have sacrificed their dreams for the sake of their children and husbands. They do it free of charge and do not expect any financial compensation in return. Besides, they work all day long, take care of children and fulfill other household chores. How could someone call them unemployed or idle?Housewives are the stars of our lives. They are the walls upon which husbands lean when tired. They are the hopes in our lives. Anyone who does not recognize their role and insists on describing them as unemployed is ignorant. It is true that some of these housewives do not have college...

Whoever says women are weak are liars
Al-BiladANYONE who says that women are weak and fragile does not know a thing about women. A woman might feel sad, cry or get depressed but she never lets such things break her. She quickly stands up and starts again. It is not the case that women were born to do nothing but cry. I hate it when men describe women as human beings that enjoy nagging. Women are not like that.The majority of men, if not all, do not know that 90 percent of women get sad because men make them feel like that, not because women are inherently grumpy. If men only cared about women and treated them better, women would not feel sad or cry. Women are not meek; they are strong and can overcome obstacles. Men have to let women be, as women can stand up and arrange their lives, which have been disrupted and destroyed by...

First let us Saudize Saudis
Al-RiyadhWHEN I was a student at elementary school, the teacher did not only teach us but checked our clothes and nails to make sure they were clean. He would also, every now and then, give pieces of advice. If a student did not get better, he would be hit with a bamboo stick or ruler. Parents endorsed the way teachers behaved and never objected. In fact, parents used to do the same. They would hit their children with bamboo sticks as a way of disciplining them. Nevertheless, education in the country was on the right track.At the time, we learned mathematics, Islamic jurisprudence, science, etc. We were taught how to speak to someone respectfully and how to take care of our health and how to be good citizens. The government took care of all students and ensured that each student would get...

Al-MadinahSOMETIMES things do not go as planned no matter how hard one tries. Nora Al-Ghamdi is a young Saudi woman who has a MA in nanotechnology from abroad. When she completed the program, she returned to the Kingdom confident she would quickly find a job at a university. However, to her surprise, she could not find a job and remained unemployed.Nora did not give up and decided to work at any job that came her way. She then began selling Shawarma sandwiches at Jeddah’s Corniche. In an interview with a local newspaper, she said, “Each journey begins with failure before it meets successes except her journey which began with a MA in nanotechnology and ended on Jeddah’s Corniche.” These words show the huge frustration that Nora experienced. She has the right to feel frustrated. Who...

Failures of the Traffic Department in Jeddah
Al-WatanTHE Traffic Department in Jeddah is failing to manage traffic on our roads. Our roads are chaotic. Take a look at our streets and you see nothing but chaos. As a road user, you need to be very patient to deal with the situation.Amir Majed Road, Makrouna Road, Madinah Road and King Abdulaziz Road all have branch roads. There are concrete blocks obstructing most of the exits on to the branch roads, something that exasperates the congestion and traffic jams. Why are the exits closed? Nobody knows except the Director of Traffic in Jeddah and some of his aides.I have asked many traffic officers why the exits are blocked all the time and all of them said they did not know and that they had been ordered to block the exits. Senior traffic officers are nowhere to be seen on roads although...
