Languages Cannot be Murdered
In the modern Arab world, English appears to be taking over. To some, this is seen most clearly through the way we mix Arabic and English, as it seems to dilute the two. However, in my opinion, I believe that this is a natural part of the language. In order for Arabic to thrive, we must prioritize the comfort of its speakers over maintaining its “purity”.
Is It Ethical to Treat Individuals on the Street as Public Property?
I recently started photography and I have been afraid of taking pictures of people. What if it breaks Title IX? I want to graduate. I may be afraid of taking the pictures but do AUB students feel street photography is intrusive on their part? Do they dislike getting pictures taken? If they don’t mind, can I just take pictures without asking them? Is all street photography paparazzi style?
يمني في الجامعة الأمريكية
كاتب | زكريا الشهاري
لم يتغير حال لهجتي ونطقي للأحرف كثيرًا بعد مرور أربعة أعوام ونصف هنا في بيروت وفي الجامعة الأمريكية في بيروت، لا يزال من السهل معرفة أني لست من لبنان عند نطقي لأول حرفين سواء كان ذلك باللغة العربية أو الإنجليزية، ولكن الذي تغير في هذه الأشهر الأخيرة هي ردات الفعل عندما أجيب عن السؤال ب”أنا من اليمن”.
