Transition of power from communist regime to an Islamic regime came through war as well. The Mujahedeens who fought against communists for Islamic ideology were now fighting for ethnic supremacy.

and you realize that it is a military attack helicopter. So the first seen in the movie, the first thing you see, is a helicopter. That is all you hear and it is the only thing moving on the screen. This sets the tone for the movie right away, the lack of sound except for the helicopter focuses all of your attention on it, and from the beginning you can tell it is a very serious movie. This is a case where the lack of sound is playing a big role in what you are experiencing (Lone…

one in my country. The dark roads, dirt on the roads, light spark far from a village and the passenger conversation are those memories which I have them from the journey from town to town back in my country.

In the early years of running the…

Those are the broadest possible strokes that describe the circumstances of Ghalib’s birth, residence, and political connexion. There are, however, certain incidents that warrant specific attention and should be informative to…

This push towards the modern world would see the Shah going far beyond his constitutional powers and take on responsibilities and decisions that would exclude the input of other social interests such as those of the Shiite people, the Shi 'a clergy and the working class who saw modernization as an opposition to their way of life. This opposition to the Shah and his reforms came strongest from the Shi 'a clergy and in particular a priest name Ruhollah Khomeini who saw Mohammad Reza Shah as a pawn…

experience of life, which is what education is all about. For example, McCullough discusses the Panama Canal’s present-day significance. The canal was finished earlier and cost less than expected, and “is still running today exactly the same as it was in 1914 when it opened” (McCullough). In addition, the workers did not understand the chemistry of concrete, but they still built the canal better than people could do it today. The canal is a perfect example of engineering at its best: creations…
