Enduring Pak-China Relations Essay

During Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani’s visit to China, there have been speculations that he undertook this ‘emergency’ trip in the aftermath of Osama bin Laden’s killing in Abbottabad by US forces. Nothing could be further from the truth. During the visit, the Chinese leadership assured Pakistan of their full support in its hour of need. Prime Minister Wen Jiabao informed Pakistan that China had urged the US to respect Pakistan’s sovereignty. In addition to agreements on banking, technical and economic cooperation, China agreed to expedite the delivery of 50 J-17F Thunder fighter jets to Pakistan. This has provoked some American Congressmen to interpret it as Pakistan’s leaning on China to countervail pressure from Washington. Contrary to speculations, this visit was not prompted by the Abbottabad incident. It was planned much before and was part of the ongoing Pak-China strategic relations. Also, 2011 marks the 60th anniversary of the Pak-China relationship and has been designated as the year of friendship between the two countries, which was reflected in the celebrations and extraordinarily warm welcome extended to Pakistan’s prime minister in China. Therefore, to suggest that the visit was organised on the spur of the moment is misleading. Pakistan and China have a longstanding relationship, especially since 1962, when China and India went to war over a disputed border. The Chinese have been steadfast friends and have supported Pakistan through thick and thin. China’s interest lies in a stable and prosperous Pakistan. They have been very generous in sharing their development and progress in the economic and technical fields and have aided Pakistan in every possible manner. Therefore, the visit of Prime Minister Gilani should not be considered as reactive. Pakistan is a sovereign country (despite challenges) and has the right to choose its friends and explore options for positive relationships other than the US. Pakistan is not bound to have a one-track relationship with the world through the US. The US raid in Abbottabad created a perception that Pakistan’s air force is weak and compromised, prompting India to remark that it could carry out similar attacks on jihadi outfits in Pakistan. Like a true friend, the Chinese have agreed to speed up the production and delivery of 50 JF-17 Thunder aircraft for Pakistan. This has not only sent a clear signal to the world that China stands by Pakistan but will actually strengthen our air defense against any such misadventure. Gwadar port: China has a keen interest that Pakistan’s vision to become a trade and energy corridor, which links Central Asia, Russia and China with the warm waters of the Arabian Sea should become a reality. If the Gwadar Port develops and is linked with rail and road infrastructure, China’s interests will also be served. Compared to shipping from the eastern seaports, trade through Pakistan will tremendously ease trade for China. China wants to develop its relatively undeveloped interior western regions. The best way to achieve this is to provide an outlet for the region through Gwadar. The Chinese have agreed to take over the operation of Gwadar Port after the contract with the Singapore Port Authority expires in anticipation of this dream becoming a reality. China has stakes in a developed and prosperous Pakistan and is ready to help it grow. Is Pakistan ready to avail this opportunity and develop the capacity to take advantage of Chinese generosity? SECOND EDITORIAL: Attack on US Consulate staff Another day, another attack. An improvised explosive device (IED) struck two bulletproof Land Cruisers of the US Consulate staff in Peshawar on Friday, injuring 11 people and killing one passerby. Two consulate personnel suffered minor injuries in this first attack on US diplomats after the operation that killed Osama bin Laden. This comes in a sequence of similar attacks that have been taking place throughout the country since al Qaeda’s leader was killed, including against Saudi personnel in their Karachi consulate. It is feared that this is just the beginning as the extremists might be getting warmed up to fulfil their pledge of revenge against Pakistan, the US and other countries that had a part to play in bin Laden’s death. Other NATO countries too are on the terrorists’ hit list. The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the Peshawar attack and have declared it retribution for bin Laden’s death at the hands of US Navy SEALs. When such a red alert situation exists in the country, it is shameful that adequate security measures are still lacking to prevent such attacks from taking place. Just as Osama was a high value target for the US, likewise, US, European, Saudi and even Pakistani citizens are high-value targets for the militants. To have foreign and our own citizens under threat on our shores and to be woefully unequipped to protect them is pathetic, to say the least. It is almost as if the security forces in Pakistan are too de-motivated in the face of a murky, bloodthirsty enemy. The area where this latest attack took place, University Town, is considered to be one of the more posh residential locations in Peshawar. It is a community where foreigners usually live. For a militant onslaught to take place there shows that even the most well-off of places is unsafe, what to say of the rest of the country. The security and law enforcement agencies have to get their act together. Our intelligence establishment cannot afford to fall asleep (again?) in the wake of the bin Laden episode and our police and security forces need better methods of detection and prevention. Arrangements must be made to better police the streets and allow citizens, whether international or local, to move about without incurring the risk of being blown to bits. * Home | Editorial

Fiffteen by William Stafford

The poem Fifteen by William Stafford, describes the ideas of a young teenager and imaginations when he sees a motorcycle at the side of the rail, It tells us of how the main character gets familiar with adulthood and starts getting mature, it gives us changes. The author in his poem describes the ideas and temptations that a fifteen year old would have, and it gives us a message of how when you are blinded of your teenage dreams, at the same time to take and decide the correct paths and decisions. In the first stanza William Stafford stops realization. He describes a motorcycle below a bridge.The cycle is abandoned, â€Å"engine running as it lay on its side, ticking over slowly in the high grass. † To begin his poem Stafford gives us a location, â€Å"South of the Bridge on Seventeenth. † If one were to assume that we as people, traveled metaphorically in any direction I would think it to be north for example: â€Å"Up† for all different purposes. Staffordâ€⠄¢s character is south, not necessarily heading south, but he is south in relation to the bridge. Changes are like bridges, connections between one span of life and the next. Points where the road which below is much less stable, where there aren’t miles of solid ground below.Changes are things that you have to get over. And thinking that Stafford’s age which is fifteen years, like us all, we are heading north, then he’s in for a change a bridge in the future. The motorcycle in the other hand was found â€Å"back of the willows one summer day. † Willows are beautiful flowing trees, their branches fall down and hide their trunks veiling whatever may lie at their shape from all on the other side of their barrier. Stafford’s character finds the motorcycle beyond the barriers of the willows and so we can imagine him pulling aside the waterfall of green and revealing the pefrect machine.On the other hand everything about the scene finds of a hidden trut h discovered. The high grass, tall as if to hide the treasures that are within it, and the willows, and even the picture of calm, warm serenity that comes to mind with the idea of trees in the summer. But the boy finds the cycle unexpectedly, he did not know or even awaited it. In the second stanza it connects temptation and imagination. The cycle becomes his forbidden imagination, it has a â€Å"pulsing gleam†¦shiny flanks†¦demure headlights fringed where it lay;† it is arousing him. First with its beauty it’s pulsing and shiny.It’s elegant and bright as described in the second stanza . Then it’s interest, he â€Å"led it gently to the road and stood with that companion, ready and friendly. † It draws him in. And for the first part he’s taken with it. He â€Å"admired† it. He â€Å"stood† with it. He was young and he saw the beauty as something he wanted. He was a teenager after all chasing his dream. These moments a re him being a child this is him before the â€Å"good man† from later in the poem. You can tell he is taken with it from the way he â€Å"gently† leads it to the road, he is taking care of it.You are not gentle with things that you think are not needed or that you dislike. One does not describe these things either as having a â€Å"pulsing gleam. † Possibly freedom and perhaps bliss are shown in stanza three. The character is imagining himself on the open road. He’s picturing taking the motorcycle and riding away on it. It gives to speculation if he, being fifteen can even legally drive one, let alone that would then surely be considered stealing. Assuming that he’s not there appears the forbidden imagination again. It’s not legal, not okay, yet he wants it temptatiously.Though, as for freedom and excitement, he clearly states that there is a â€Å"forward feeling, a tremble. † For example a reader would take this to be excitement gr owing inside the main character. He is confident. He is happy and positive at least because he is â€Å"patting the handle,† and receiving a â€Å"confident opinion. † He is indulging or giving interest, a word used to express freedom to do something enjoyable. In the fourth stanza Stafford’s poem takes a different direction shall we say, a new character is introduced, the owner of the motorcycle.The grass which is mentioned earlier seems to be hiding more than just the cycle, but also its rider. This also shows a change in the nature of the boy, a decision being made. He thinks and â€Å"thinking†¦found the owner. † The boy in a rush pushes aside his temptation towards freedom and excitement. He chooses. He does not choose to ride away, though, rather to be mature and responsible. To think of more than just himself and locate whomever the bike had belonged. The owner, thrown from the bike in the crash.The rider is â€Å"just coming to,† or el se awakening from unconsciousness he must have got from his crash. He had â€Å"flipped over the rail. He had blood on his hand, was pale† This man is not in good shape. He just crashed his motorcycle and had blood on his hands. On the outside he is injured and broken needs help getting to his bike. Physically, he is weak while it seems that the main character being fifteen, is not. He is strong which is connected from the fact that they are young, full of life as fifteen year olds are. But the rider once at his bike, becomes strong once again, he â€Å"roared away. He is not magically healed , he is still bleeding from the crash, but he has the inside strength of a confident adult and he still gets on his bike and rides away. Before leaving the man calls the main character â€Å"a good man†. To sum it up, the main character begins as a fifteen year old with a change a bridge in his future, he is beginning to realize this. Then he becomes, in the fourth stanza,  "a good man. † Most importantly, a man. He started maturing, learning of getting older, most importantly! Stating in my conclusion that the boy, as he finds the cycle and then after moments of indecision, returns it begins his own road to adulthood.He goes from thought of the temptations of the machine to giving it back to its owner and watching him ride away. So I took myself as an example, because I am also a teenager who has his dream and goals and will be facing adulthood myself. It showed us a mature boy who fought of his temptations and teenage dreams, and choosing the correct path of adulthood. It gives a strong message of spirituality which does pushes us forward of following our dreams but at the same time taking the right decision, as shown with the main character.

George Kesey s One Flew Over The Cuckoo s Nest - 1094 Words

To be considered insane one must have non-conforming perceptions, behaviors, and interactions that negatively distinguishes one from one’s community (Mayo Clinic). Furthermore for one to be labeled mentally ill, they would need to be clinically diagnosed as being psychologically challenged. In Ken Kesey’s controversial novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the constant question being asked by everyone is whether or not McMurphy is just an irrationally drunk character or is he actually struggling with deep-seated mental issues. However, instead McMurphy is reckless, foolish, and arrogant in his actions For that reason McMurphy, by manipulating his peers and in comparison to other characters is not insane, rather he is a power-hungry,†¦show more content†¦The Mayo Clinic says some signs of having mental illness are having suicidal thoughts which Cheswick clearly struggled from. (Mayo Clinic). Likewise, Billy Bibbit exhibits signs of mental issues by en ding his life after sleeping with Candy and blaming the mess on McMurphy who once again is able to manipulate the patients (Kesey). Again being in the state of having excessive fears and worries, feeling extreme guilt, and having suicidal thoughts reflects being insane (Mayo Clinic). The fact that Cheswick and Billy end up committing suicide shows how sane McMurphy is because of the depth and extremity his power of manipulation extends. The Mayo Clinic has said that having delusional thoughts, hallucinations and paranoia are symptoms of mental illness, which multiple characters aside from McMurphy parade within the ward. Although, the Chief is very deceiving of his character when he acts like he’s deaf and dumb in front of everybody but in reality isn’t, Chief stills displays signs of insanity. Chief is always having these hallucinations about the fog and is detached from reality when he thinks about things like the combine (Kessey). Hallucinations involve sensing things while awake that appear to be real, but are just thoughts created by the mind (U.S. National Library of Medicine).

Patient Protection with the Affordable Care Act - 1516 Words

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) commonly called the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or ObamaCare is a federal statute of the United States signed by President Barack Obama on March 23rd, 2010. As the name suggests, the new health care law is made up of the Affordable Health care for America Act and the Patient Protection Act. It also includes amendment to other laws like Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The main purpose of this complex legislation is to provide Americans with affordable health insurance and quality care. â€Å"The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has determined that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is fully paid for. It will provide coverage to more than 94% of Americans while staying under the $900 billion limit that President Obama established.†(The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, n.d., p.1) The reform revolves around - rules for insurance companies, taxes, tax break, funding, spending and creating jobs. The ACA addresses each topic under nine different titles. The first title â€Å"Quality, Affordable Health Care for All Americans eliminates the lifetime and annual limits on benefits and eliminates the odds of being dropped from coverage because of a mistake on the application. It prohibits insurers to provide coverage for individuals based on pre-existing conditions. As of January 2013 more than 107,000 Americans had enrolled in the plan, a more than 800 percent enrollment increase since November 2010.

Crucial Person In History Of Philosophy †Myassignmenthelp.Com

Question: Discuss About The Crucial Person In History Of Philosophy? Answer: Introduction Jean-Jacques Rousseau remains a famous and crucial person in history of psychology. He has made great contributions more to political philosophy and moral psychology to upcoming thinkers. Rousseaus view of philosophy has always been negative and his concern has been to find a way of preserving human in a world where human beings are greatly depending on one another for daily survival. Rousseaus philosophy has earned him great prizes and has made him more famous, a great idea he brought out that took him to higher level among others is the topic on inequality. History Rousseau according to his own view reads mankind history beginning in solitude with society and is greatly emerging and becoming social. Rousseau terms the society as an invention and tries to explain the nature of humans as brought by socialization, therefore the nature of human is best understood by looking at their pure state of nature before it is spoiled by civilization and the process of socialization. This is different from other thinkers who describe human state of nature as a constant state of war against others because they have civilized them. Rousseaus thinking is different as he term human as isolated, timid, mute who cannot think of what the future will bring. H e compares humans as monsters and that they are of no difference with other animals only that man is a free animal. There are two forms of inequality; there is the natural one which can also be called physical. It is established by nature and has difference in age, healthcare, strength of body and soul qualities. The other form of inequality is called moral or in other words political inequality because it depends on convention and is established by authority of man. It consists of privileges which are enjoyed by others and not others, for example, being rich, being honored (p.22). As far as the origin of man is concerned, there are things making man perish, there are the natural infirmities like infancy, old age and illness. A young one can die in its early age or its mother dies and the young is left alone. A civilized corrupt human faces extreme inequality in standard of living ,idleness, forced labor, sophisticated food from the rich, bad diets from the poor, stress and depressions, fatigue are fatal ways which brings problems which could have been avoided if simple and solitary way of life was maintained(p.27).The savaged man who has not been ruined by the civilized society hardly get ill and these shows that human illness is brought by the civil societies, this has brought a great difference in human in that when the same man become sociable and enslaved, they become weak, fearful and much of his power is being used, hence the difference between man and animals because if nature treats equally and man gets more benefits than the animals, other things make s man more exhausted than the animals. The believes like lack of place to stay, lack of clothing and all other luxurious things are not all that important to these savaged men, this is because their bodies are hairy hence does well in hot places, while in cold places they cover their selves with animal skins. If it is about transportation, they have legs to use and their arms help them in defense against attack.(p.29) Looking at any animal in a different perspective of metaphysical and moral side, they can be termed as ingenious machines which nature has given senses for restoration and protection; this is also seen in humans. The only difference is that man brings all operations in his capacity. Animals and humans have ideas because of senses given to them except that humans have a higher degree of thinking than the animals. Another thing that distinguishes animals from human resource management is what is termed as self-perfecting whereby with the help of other factors, develops others in succession (p.30). After describing the pure state of nature, Rousseau went ahead to explain the series of events that happened till it reached a state of present day civil society. In the pure state of nature humans where grouping their selves for a specific activity and a common language was sed. These groups only lasted depending on the task being done. After this a different stage came up and this involved formation of permanent social groups like forming a family. In this stage property acquisition was done and feelings of superiority and competition were also seen developing. A different level thereafter came about and it involved farm tilling and meal work. These activities required a large number of people so that work could be divided as per various capabilities, that is, some could be involved in the farm, while others made tools and governed others. As a result of all these there came a group of people whose social class improved and became strict on property owning, hence these created conf licts and fights among themselves. All these thereafter created a division among people, those with high social class started using those with low social class by making them work for them on their farms and other tasks. These changes in social classes have brought a difference in the society. From extreme inequality in conditions and benefits, diversity in talents, leaders have continued formulating things which makes the groups of men be divided and weak, all the good that could come to the society goes to those with power and are of high class in the society and through all these the less fortunate will defect from working and go against their leaders and turning all that was good into ruins, the result of all these will be a society with no leaders and no rules and thus a closure of the circle hence individuals become equal again. Conclusion Inequality gets its strength and growth from development and progress of mind in humans and therefore stabilizes through property establishment and laws enacted.

Mans Search For Meaning Essays - Fiction, English-language Films

Man's Search For Meaning Viktor Frankl's concept regarding survival and fully living was developed through his observations and experiences in the concentration camps. He used his psychiatric training to discern the meanings of observations and to help himself become a better person. He uses analysis to develop his own concepts and describes them in steps throughout the book. When the prisoners first arrived at the camp most of them thought they would be spared at the last moment. The prisoners believed they had a chance of surviving, but this belief was eventually eliminated and it was at this time when the prisoners began to learn how to survive by using their internal strength. A sense of humor had emerged among the prisoners. This humor helped to get through some difficult situations they faced. Viktor also observed how much a person could really endure and still live. Even though the prisoners could not clean their teeth and were deprived of warmth and vitamins, they still were able to survive. The sores and abrasions on their hands did not suppurate despite the dirt that gathered on them from the hard labor. The challenge of staying alive under these wretched conditions was to have and maintain strong internal strength. During the time he spent in the camps, Viktor learned what was needed to survive and how to keep his internal strength despite his weakening external strength. During the second stage of Viktor's psychological reaction, prisoners lost their sense of feeling and emotion toward events that would be emotional to people outside the camps. This was a result of the violent environment, which consisted of beatings of prisoners and the death of many others. The prisoners could no longer feel any disgust or horror since these emotions where very common. From Viktor's professional point of view, this observation surprised him and also gave him a different point of view of the whole situation. The pain that hurt Viktor the most was the pain he felt when he received punishment for no reason. The punishments were of an insult, and hurt the prisoners on the inside more than on the outside. Viktor also acknowledged the fact that since the prisoners lacked the primary needs, they would dream about them and put all other needs aside.

When I am have tremendous amount of work and I don't know when or how I will get through it I think about how it will turn out in the future. I know that I will get through the difficulty alive, unlike the situation that Viktor and the other prisoners were going through. I just look forward to the future and acknowledge the fact that
