@AmirHosseinHonardust 5 жыл бұрын
@Briley Thompson yeah. But honestly it is not the weirdest thing here. So for example we are right now in a month that is called ramezan. Which Muslims are supposed to feast from sunrise to sunset. In Iran you can get lashed or get in jailed for eating or drinking or even chewing gum in public. coffee shops and restaurants get banned by police for serving before sunset. Police stands by restaurants and fastfoods to see if delivery bikes go out, and arrest them.
@AmirHosseinHonardust 5 жыл бұрын
@Briley Thompson Well. Youth leave. But honestly it is not an easy process. For the first part, no country wants you, unless you are incredibly talented. and when they want you, they ask for your money, they ask you to do high amount of jobs for a very low pay. Also you would be a second rate citizen, plus many people automatically assume you are a terrorist or a fundamentalist if you have shade of brown in your skin. plus you would need a considerable amount of money to start, which is increasingly getting harder and harder to get. Just in the past year, our money just got one third of what it was worth. So we are suddenly three times poorer than before and it is three times harder to reach the same level we could just one year ago. So many people, just prefer to stay where they are at least familiar with, can afford to be, and .... But still, iran has a high rate of youth migration in comparison to many in world. We call it the "flight of brains". Because of the intelligence of those who go abroad and migrate indefinitely. Iranian government doesn't keep us from getting out, so much as most countries don't want us, unless we are incredibly useful to them. And also, I'm not offended. Iran is tyrannical dictatorial government. it means that most people are not actually in favor of it. So for example I'm using anti-filtering software to access KZfaq, Facebook, twitter and etc to talk to you. Because they want to brain wash us to think that they are doing what is best for us. :)
@AmirHosseinHonardust 5 жыл бұрын
@Briley Thompson in some ways that is worse! Our level of satisfaction with our lives is somewhat dependent on our comparison with our peers. Consider how our parents lived. Unless they were time travelers they would have access to internet, flat-tvs, and... If they wanted to publish a thought, they should have worked on it for weeks and it would have ended up in the hands of a local magazine editor. Could you imagine if we were in the same position? But the privileged ones amongst them felt the same as the privileged ones amongst us feel. It is easier to be in a country of sinking ship. For the most parts, most of the people have never tasted freedom. It would be hell of a lot harder to see that your peers are doing much better, because you made different but pretty much ethically valid choices. Teachers are always a group under pressure. Because they are shaping young lives, and one thing we learned from politicians attitude towards climate change, is that if they are not living through it they don't give a shit. Who cares if the person that is spending 40 hours a week with kids cannot afford to not worry about their well being when they are teaching?

@@adithyannair3667 It could be nicknames. Not sure. I mean in Haiti we have proper biblical names. However, we also have Creole nicknames that when translated into English are weird. I mean I sometimes feel like Black Americans seriously bit off of Haitian culture big time. For instance Nigga. We actually say that. It's actually part of our vernacular - it's in our dictionary and means = man/guy. We use it more in him/her way - Look at that [Nigga] guy. in Creole. Anyway, as far as nicknames which you're basically stuck w/ until death. For instance, my second name is Alex however my nickname is Lolly - w/ me until death. My sister's nickname is Ti Rat [in Creole] = Little Rat/ Lil Rat with her for life man. She got the worst. My dad and uncle gave her that one. My mum got Minouche - nonsense word, I don't know what that means - her name is Yolande. Another aunt is called - Ti Botte [Creole] = Little Boot/Lil'Boot - She had that one too. People forget their real name and just remember the nickname in the islands too. My great-grandmother's nickname is Gnat and only one person remembers her first name and I have to call her before she dies. Zambia probably is the same. They give Christian names but then absurd nicknames.
