Drugs are Crimes

Most of the homeless are living on drugs, and drugs are the number one cause for people's death on the streets, gangs who sell drugs they kill each other to get the money from users, the users lose their conscious and commit all kinds of crimes on the streets like raping, killing, stealing, and kidnapping, even using drugs on it self is a crime because it leads to ruin the communities. That is why drugs are illegal in most of the countries around the world, and it is obvious but what if it is legal? not all kind of drugs just imagine the weed is legal, the gangs are not going to gain money because it is already in stores. The studies shows that weed is good for health and helps the mental disses, as an example I knew a guy who had a mental problem when he was a little kid and his family used some kind of drugs to keep him calm and low, so when he grew up his mental disses was vanished forever. This case shows that the drugs could help people, but with the right usage. What do you think?

Saudi Arabian Culture


Saudi Arabian Culture
              What do you know about Saudi Arabian culture? most of the people relate Saudi Arabian culture of what they see in movies or TV shows, but it is really different from what those movies bring to the audiences, compared to other cultures Saudi Arabian culture is strict and religious, which makes it interesting to understand, for most of the people I have meet from around the world they have misunderstood or confused between what they see and what these behaviors mean to the culture. As an example, most of them ask about the Hijab which is the cover that Muslim women wear and they think those women wear the Hijab all the time even in front of their families, while it is not true but they wear it when they get out of their houses till they reach to their friend's house or where they can take the Hijab off. The Hijab covers them and separate them from the men community. Islamic religion encourages that the relationship between men and women who are not related to be within limits to save them from getting into sexual relationships. Similar to this, other cultural attitudes were adopted and made the pillars of the Saudi Arabian culture. So, if you really got into Saudi Arabian culture you would might see unfamiliar behaviors but by the time you could understand and accept them.
