There are people who pretend as friends but actually are trying to get information about you. Be ready to see that character out and one day realize that you don't own yourself anymore. Two events took place in that situation; a cover up and an over-riding. ^_^

This happened in actual not here in the internet. Could you please give me your opinion on this?

Understanding and Misunderstanding Other Cultures

Posted by Mr. Bob on September 11, 2010

Ethnocentrism is one of the first terms that I ever define to students when we study cultures. It is something that is normal for every culture and is something we all must try to overcome. Simply put, it means that we view our own culture as superior to other cultures.It is only natural that when you are brought up in a society, that the things you were taught were proper b

Posted by Frank DiSalle on September 11, 2010

One site is called OneLook Dictionary Search, and you may find it difficult to use, but I believe that learning to use it will provide you with an extremely valuable tool for vocabulary building.It has indexed over 1000 different dictionaries at the time of this writing.

Some people say "it's never too late to learn." I was amazed at the perseverance and determination of old people getting education even when old. One lady I viewed on our evening television news recently featured a 78 years old woman who graduated from elementary school.It was a most refreshing sight to see the old woman - in her white toga and holding a rolled white paper with pink ribbon waving above her head, and then, flipped her toga and the rest of the graduating students followed suit.She

How to Control the Mind?

Posted by sanjay rje on September 10, 2010

When I speak to you about meditation and tranquillity, for a moment your mind will perhaps become still and you will be happy. But in a trice it will g

When the chat room went down for a short time this week, some of you were very upset! It was interesting to see how important the chat room is to many of you. Thanks for your patience during the technical glitch. It was fun reading your thoughts about chat on Nadira's blog.I'd also like to thank all of the members who were chatting in the MyEC chat room with me last night. Your thoughts and feedback about the chat room were very helpful. Here are my observations about the MyEC chat room, along w

But, one has to be a member to access the pages.I
