GENIUS

Selalu ada minat dalam jenius dan keajaiban . Kata ' jenius ' , dari gens Latin ( = keluarga ) dan istilah ' jenius ' , yang berarti ' begetter ' , berasal dari kultus Romawi awal dari keilahian sebagai kepala keluarga . Dalam bentuknya yang paling awal , jenius prihatin dengan kemampuan kepala keluarga , tuan rumah , untuk mengabadikan dirinya . Secara bertahap , jenius datang untuk mewakili karakteristik seseorang dan dari situ atribut tertinggi individu yang berasal dari ' jenius ' nya atau membimbing roh. Saat ini , orang masih melihat ke bintang atau gen , astrologi atau genetika , dengan harapan menemukan sumber kemampuan luar biasa atau karakteristik pribadi .

Konsep jenius dan hadiah telah menjadi bagian dari budaya rakyat kita , dan sikap yang ambivalen terhadap mereka . Kami iri berbakat dan mempercayai mereka . Dalam mitologi bakat , yang populer percaya bahwa jika orang-orang berbakat di satu daerah , mereka harus rusak di tempat lain, bahwa intelektual tidak praktis , bahwa keajaiban membakar terlalu terang dan terlalu cepat terbakar , bahwa orang-orang berbakat yang eksentrik , bahwa mereka yang lemah fisik , bahwa ada garis tipis antara jenius dan kegilaan , jenius yang berjalan dalam keluarga , bahwa berbakat begitu pintar mereka tidak membutuhkan bantuan khusus , bakat yang sama dengan memiliki tinggi 10 , bahwa beberapa ras yang lebih cerdas atau musik atau matematika daripada yang lain , jenius yang tidak diakui dan tidak dihargai , kesulitan yang membuat orang bijak atau bahwa orang dengan hadiah memiliki tanggung jawab untuk menggunakannya . Bahasa telah diperkaya dengan istilah-istilah seperti ' berbudaya' , ' terpelajar ' , ' blue- stocking ' , ' orang yg sok tahu ' , ' tahu - semua ' , ' sarjana ' dan , bagi banyak orang, ' intelektual ' adalah istilah dari fitnah .

Abad kesembilan belas melihat minat yang besar dalam sifat jenius , dan menghasilkan tidak sedikit studi keajaiban terkenal . Mungkin bagi kita sekarang , dua aspek yang paling penting dari sebagian besar penelitian ini jenius adalah frekuensi yang dorongan awal dan pengajaran oleh orang tua dan tutor memiliki efek menguntungkan pada perkembangan intelektual , artistik atau musikal anak-anak , tetapi menimbulkan kesulitan besar penyesuaian kemudian dalam kehidupan mereka , dan frekuensi yang kemampuan pergi belum diakui oleh guru dan sekolah . Namun, kesulitan dengan bukti yang dihasilkan oleh studi ini , menarik karena mereka bersama-sama dalam mengumpulkan anekdot dan persamaan jelas dan pengecualian , adalah bahwa mereka tidak apa kita akan hari ini panggilan norma -referenced . Dengan kata lain, ketika, misalnya , informasi dikumpulkan tentang penyakit awal , metode asuhan , sekolah , dll , kita harus juga memperhitungkan informasi dari sumber-sumber sejarah lain tentang bagaimana umum atau luar biasa ini adalah pada saat itu . Misalnya, kematian bayi tinggi dan harapan hidup lebih pendek dari hari ini , rumah les umum di keluarga bangsawan dan kaya , intimidasi dan hukuman fisik yang umum di sekolah-sekolah independen terbaik dan , untuk sebagian besar , kasus yang diteliti adalah anggota kelas istimewa . Itu hanya dengan pertumbuhan pediatri dan psikologi pada abad kedua puluh bahwa studi dapat dilakukan pada tujuan yang lebih , jika masih tidak selalu sangat ilmiah , dasar .

Jenius , namun mereka didefinisikan , hanyalah puncak yang menonjol melalui kabut sejarah dan terlihat oleh pengamat tertentu dari sudut pandang tertentu nya . Mengubah pengamat dan titik pandang , membersihkan beberapa kabut , dan banyak yang berbeda dari puncak muncul. Genius adalah istilah yang kami terapkan pada orang-orang yang kita kenal untuk prestasi luar biasa mereka dan yang berdiri di dekat ujung kontinum kemampuan manusia yang mencapai kembali melalui duniawi dan biasa-biasa saja dengan tidak mampu . Masih banyak kebenaran dalam pengamatan Dr Samuel Johnson , The genius benar adalah pikiran kekuasaan umum besar , sengaja bertekad untuk beberapa arah tertentu ' . Kita mungkin tidak setuju dengan 'umum' , karena kita ragu apakah semua musisi jenius bisa menjadi ilmuwan jenius atau sebaliknya , tetapi tidak ada yang meragukan tekad yang disengaja dipelihara atau dipicu hadiah mereka ke saluran-saluran di mana mereka telah menuangkan mereka kekuasaan dengan sukses . Sepanjang kontinum kemampuan ratusan ribu pria dan wanita berbakat , anak laki-laki dan anak perempuan .

Apa yang kita menghargai , menikmati atau mengagumi dalam karya-karya jenius atau prestasi keajaiban adalah manifestasi keterampilan atau kemampuan yang mirip dengan , tapi begitu jauh lebih unggul , kita sendiri . Tapi itu pikiran mereka tidak berbeda dari kita sendiri ditunjukkan oleh fakta bahwa penemuan susah payah ilmuwan seperti Kepler atau Einstein menjadi pengetahuan umum anak sekolah dan bentuk sekali keterlaluan dan warna dari seorang seniman seperti Paul Klee begitu cepat muncul pada kain yang kita kenakan . Ini tidak mengurangi supremasi prestasi mereka , yang melampaui kita sendiri sebagai milers sub - empat menit joging melebihi kami .

Untuk memikirkan jenius dan berbakat sebagai memiliki otak unik yang berbeda hanya masuk akal jika kita menerima bahwa setiap otak manusia unik yang berbeda . Tujuan pengantar adalah untuk membuat kita lebih berbeda satu sama lain , dan dalam proses dididik kita bisa belajar dari prestasi mereka ibu berbakat dari diri kita sendiri . Tapi sebelum kita mencoba untuk meniru jenius atau mendorong anak-anak kita untuk melakukannya kita harus mencatat bahwa beberapa hal yang kita pelajari dari mereka mungkin terbukti enak . Kita mungkin iri prestasi dan ketenaran , tetapi kita juga harus mengakui harga mereka mungkin telah dibayar dalam hal ketekunan , single- pikiran , dedikasi , pembatasan pada kehidupan pribadi mereka , tuntutan atas energi dan waktu mereka , dan seberapa sering mereka harus menampilkan keberanian besar untuk menjaga integritas mereka atau untuk membuat jalan mereka ke atas .

Genius dan bakat adalah istilah-istilah deskriptif relatif tidak ada substansi nyata . Kita mungkin , di terbaik , memberi mereka beberapa presisi dengan mendefinisikan mereka dan menempatkan mereka dalam konteks tetapi , apapun yang kita lakukan , kita tidak boleh menipu diri sendiri menjadi percaya bahwa anak-anak berbakat atau genius berbeda dari umat manusia , simpan dalam derajat yang mereka telah mengembangkan kinerja kemampuan mereka .

MARTIN LUTHER KING

MARTIN LUTHER KING IN POLITIC

On 4 April 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King was shot dead in Memphis, Tennessee, where he planned to lead a protest march. The powerful voice of Dr. King was silenced, but almost fifty years later, his ideas are still a source of inspiration for people who seek peace and justice. Israel claims to have a special relation with the legacy of Dr. King.

Every year it marks Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a United States holiday, with a special session in parliament. And the Consulate General of Israel in New York together with the Jewish Community Relations Council and the Jewish National Fund, pays a yearly tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King by honoring an individual who embodies his spirit and ideals. Dr. King’s legacy of his speeches and writings contain clear messages for everyone who wants to work towards justice and peace. How serious is the Israeli government about the legacy of Dr. King?

King placed the struggle against injustice in a broad context

Martin Luther King inspired hundreds of thousands of people in the United States into actions against racism, to end poverty, and for peace. Early December 1955, he led the first great non-violent protests of Afro-Americans in a bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama. The boycott lasted 382 days and ended after the US Supreme Court ruled that segregation in public buses was unconstitutional. In spring 1963, King and the student movement organised mass demonstrations in Birmingham, Alabama. The white police officials responded violently and King was arrested for organizing sit-in demonstrations. In his ‘Letter from the Birmingham jail’, he puts the struggle against injustice in Birmingham in the broader context of the United States. He writes: “Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

In his speech ‘Let my people go’, which he held in New York on Human Rights Day in 1965, he repeats the message.

“The struggle for freedom forms one long front crossing oceans and mountains. The brotherhood of man is not confined within a narrow, limited circle of select people. It is felt everywhere in the world, it is an international sentiment of surpassing strength and because this is true when men of good will finally unite they will be invincible.”

Martin Luther King was conscious of the bond between the struggle of the black people in the United States and the wave of colonial revolutions in Asia, Africa and Latin America. In 1958, at the age 29, he said:

The determination of Negro Americans to win freedom from all forms of oppression springs from the same deep longing that motivates oppressed peoples all over the world. The rumblings of discontent in Asia and Africa are expressions of a quest for freedom and human dignity by people who have long been the victims of colonialism and imperialism.

In 1967 his last last major work, Where do we go from here: Chaos or Community, was published. He once again wrote about the link with South Africa.

Racism is no mere American phenomenon. Its vicious grasp knows no geographical boundaries. In fact, racism and its perennial ally - economic exploitation - provide the key to understanding most of the international complications of this generation.

The classic example of organised and institutionalised racism is the Union of South Africa. Its national policy and practice are the incarnation of the doctrine of white supremacy in the midst of a population which is overwhelmingly Black. But the tragedy of South Africa is virtually made possible by the economic policies of the United States and Great Britain, two countries which profess to be the moral bastions of our Western world.

Call to isolate apartheid South Africa

Martin Luther King actively supported the struggle of the South African people against apartheid. In 1963 the UN Special Committee against Apartheid was established and one of the first letters the committee received was from Martin Luther King, according to Nigerian ambassador Leslie O. Harriman5. Together with the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1960, the ANC leader Chief Albert J. Lutuli, Martin Luther King made an ‘Appeal for Action against Apartheid’ on Human Rights Day, 10 December 19626. They said:

“Nothing which we have suffered at the hands of the government has turned us from our chosen path of disciplined resistance, said Chief Albert J. Lutuli at Oslo. So there exists another alternative - and the only solution which represents sanity - transition to a society based upon equality for all without regard to colour. Any solution founded on justice is unattainable until the Government of South Africa is forced by pressures, both internal and external, to come to terms with the demands of the non-white majority. The apartheid republic is a reality today only because the peoples and governments of the world have been unwilling to place her in quarantine.”

In his speech held in London in 1964, Martin Luther King repeated his call for economic sanctions against South Africa. [7]

“We can join in the one form of non-violent action that could bring freedom and justice to South Africa - the action which African leaders have appealed for - in a massive movement for economic sanctions […] If the United Kingdom and the United States decided tomorrow morning not to buy South African goods, not to buy South African gold, to put an embargo on oil; if our investors and capitalists would withdraw their support for that racial tyranny, then apartheid would be brought to an end. Then the majority of South Africans of all races could at last build the shared society they desire.”

Israel and apartheid South Africa analogy

The analogy between apartheid South Africa and Israel has been argued by an impressive group of people, among them Desmond Tutu, South African Archbishop and Nobel Peace Prize winner. Former ANC military commander Ronnie Kasrils, who is the present South African Minister for Intelligence Services8. John Dugard, South African professor of international law, serving as the Special Rapporteur for the United Nations on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories described the situation in the West Bank as “an apartheid regime … worse than the one that existed in South Africa.

South African writer Breyten Breytenbach wrote after a visit to the occupied Palestinian territories that ‘they can reasonably be described as resembling Bantustans, reminiscent of the ghettoes and controlled camps of misery one knew in South Africa.’ Farid Esack, Professor at Harvard Divinity School [10], told me some years ago that in his view “living under apartheid in South Africa was a picknick compared to the situation in occupied Palestinian territories.” It is not necessary to spend much time on the debate whether apartheid South Africa and Israel can be compared. The bottom line is that Israel systematically violates international law and the rights of the Palestinian people. The way Palestinians are treated by Israel can therefore be characterized as injustice. And as Martin Luther King said ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Non-violent action against Israel

Martin Luther King linked the struggle for freedom and equality of the Afro-Americans to the struggles for the same goals of other people around the world. He called for non-violent action against injustice at home and abroad. Martin Luther King and Chief Albert Lutuli called for public action against apartheid South Africa. The call offers a practical tool for non-violent actions against Israel. Where King and Lutuli said South Africa, we can write Israel. The call then reads as: urge your Government to support economic sanctions; write to your mission to the United Nations urging adoption of a resolution calling for international isolation of Israel; don’t buy Israeli products; don’t trade or invest in Israel * translate public opinion into public action by explaining facts to all peoples, to groups to which you belong, and to countries of which you are citizens until an effective international quarantine of apartheid is established.

Is Israel willing to listen?

Israel claims to feel a special relation with the legacy of Martin Luther King. However, is Israel willing to embrace the legacy in all its aspects? Martin Luther King worked with the civil rights movement towards political and social equality for people of all races. In his public speech ‘I Have a Dream’11 he spoke of his desire for a future where blacks and whites would live together harmoniously as equals. This vision seems to express the hope of Israel that peace with the Palestinian people is possible. In his Letter from Birmingham jail Martin Luther King writes:

“Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this ‘hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to a solid rock of human dignity.”

Israel, it is not sufficient to dream of peace. To achieve peace requires hard work. The injustice done to the Palestinian people should end immediately. And if you are not prepared to do so? Martin Luther King made it very clear that we - peace loving people - should act against injustice. We should establish ‘an effective quarantine’ of Israel, just like we did with apartheid South Africa.

HAMMURABI

One of the earliest and most complete ancient legal codes was proclaimed by the Babylonian king Hammurabi, who reigned from 1792 to 1750 B.C. Hammurabi expanded the city-state of Babylon along the Euphrates River to unite all of southern Mesopotamia. His code, a collection of 282 laws and standards, stipulated rules for commercial interactions and set fines and punishments to meet the requirements of justice. Hammurabi’s Code was proclaimed at the end of his reign and carved onto a massive, finger-shaped black stone stela (pillar) that was looted by later invaders and rediscovered in 1901 by a French archaeological team in present-day Iran.

HAMMURABI’S KINGDOM

Hammurabi was the sixth king in the Babylonian dynasty, which ruled in central Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq) from c.1894 to 1595 B.C. His family was descended from the Amorites, a semi-nomadic tribe in western Syria, and his name reflects a mix of cultures: Hammu, which means “family” in Amorite, combined with rapi, meaning “great” in Akkadian, the everyday language of Babylon. In the 30th year of his reign Hammurabi began to expand his kingdom up and down the Euphrates, overthrowing Larsa, Eshunna, Assyria and Mari until all of Mesopotamia under his sway.Did You Know?

Hammurabi’s Code includes many harsh punishments, sometimes demanding the removal of the guilty party’s tongue, hands, breasts, eye or ear. But the code is also one of the earliest examples of the idea of the accused being considered innocent until proven guilty.

Hammurabi combined his military and political advances with irrigation projects and the construction of fortifications and temples celebrating Babylon’s patron deity Marduk. The Babylon of Hammurabi’s era is now below the water table, and whatever archives he kept are long dissolved, but clay tablets discovered at other ancient sites reveal glimpses of the king’s personality and statecraft. One letter records his complaint of being forced to provide dinner attire for ambassadors from Mari just because he’d done the same for some other delegates: “Do you imagine you can control my palace in the matter of formal wear?”

HAMMURABI’S CODE

The black stone stela containing Hammurabi’s Code was carved from a single, four-ton slab of diorite, a durable but incredibly difficult stone for carving. At its top is a two-and-a-half-foot relief carving of a standing Hammurabi receiving the law—symbolized by a measuring rod and tape—from the seated Shamash, the Babylonian god of justice. The rest of the seven-foot-five-inch monument is covered with columns of chiseled cuneiform script. The text, compiled at the end of Hammurabi’s reign, is less a proclamation of legal principles than a collection of precedents set between prose celebrations of Hammurabi’s just and pious rule. The 282 edicts are all written in if-then form. For example, if a man steals an ox, he must pay back 30 times its value. The edicts range from family law to professional contracts and administrative law, often outlining different standards of justice for the three classes of Babylonian society—the propertied class, freedmen, and slaves. A doctor’s fee for curing a severe wound would be 10 silver shekels for a gentleman, 5 shekels for a freedman and two shekels for a slave. Penalties for malpractice followed the same scheme: a doctor who killed a rich patient would have his hands cut off, while only financial restitution was required if the victim was a slave. Hammurabi’s Code provides some of the earliest examples of the doctrine of “An eye for an eye.”

REDISCOVERY OF HAMMURABI’S CODE

In 1901 Jacques de Morgan, a French mining engineer, led an archaeological expedition to Persia to excavate the Elamite capital of Susa, more than 250 miles from the center of Hammurabi’s kingdom. There they uncovered the stela—broken into three pieces—that had been brought to Susa as spoils of war, likely by the Elamite king Shutruk-Nahhunte in the mid-12th century B.C. The stela was packed up and shipped to the Louvre in Paris, and within a year it had been translated and widely publicized as the earliest example of a written legal code—one that predated but bore striking parallels to the laws outlined in the Hebrew Old Testament. The 1935 U.S. Supreme Court building features Hammurabi on the marble bas relief of historic lawgivers that lines the south wall of the courtroom.

Although other subsequently-discovered Mesopotamian laws, including the Sumerian “Lipit-Ishtar” and “Ur-Nammu,” predate Hammurabi’s by hundreds of years, Hammurabi’s reputation remains as a pioneering lawgiver who worked—in the words of his monument—”to prevent the strong from oppressing the weak and to see that justice is done to widows and orphans.”

Hammurabi (Akkadian from Amorite ʻAmmurāpi, "the kinsman is a healer", from ʻAmmu, "paternal kinsman", and Rāpi, "healer"; died c. 1750 BCE middle chronology) was the sixth king of Babylon of the First Babylonian Dynasty from 1792 BCE to 1750 BCE middle chronology (1728 BCE – 1686 BCE short chronology). He became the first king of the Babylonian Empirefollowing the abdication of his father, Sin-Muballit, extending Babylon's control over Mesopotamia by winning a series of wars against neighboring kingdoms. Although his empire controlled all of Mesopotamia at the time of his death, his successors were unable to maintain his empire.

He is known for the set of laws called Hammurabi's Code, one of the first written codes of law in recorded history. These laws were inscribed on stone tablets (stelae) standing over eight feet tall (2.4 meters), of unknown provenance, found in Persia in 1901 CE. Owing to his reputation in modern times as an ancient law-giver, Hammurabi's portrait is in many government buildings throughout the world.

History

Hammurabi was a First Dynasty king of the city-state of Babylon, and inherited the power from his father, Sin-Muballit, in c. 1792 BCE. Babylon was one of the many ancient city-states that dotted the Mesopotamian plain and waged war on each other for control of fertile agricultural land. Though many cultures co-existed in Mesopotamia, Babylonian culture gained a degree of prominence among the literate classes throughout the Middle East. The kings who came before Hammurabi had begun to consolidate rule of central Mesopotamia under Babylonian hegemony and, by the time of his reign, had conquered the city-states of Borsippa, Kish, and Sippar. Thus Hammurabi ascended to the throne as the king of a minor kingdom in the midst of a complex geopolitical situation. The powerful kingdom of Eshnunna controlled the upper Tigris River while Larsa controlled the river delta. To the east lay the kingdom of Elam. To the north, Shamshi-Adad I was undertaking expansionistic wars, although his untimely death would fragment his newly conquered Semitic empire.

The first few decades of Hammurabi's reign were quite peaceful. Hammurabi used his power to undertake a series of public works, including heightening the city walls for defensive purposes, and expanding thetemples. In c. 1701 BCE, the powerful kingdom of Elam, which straddled important trade routes across the Zagros Mountains, invaded the Mesopotamian plain. With allies among the plain states, Elam attacked and destroyed the empire of Eshnunna, destroying a number of cities and imposing its rule on portions of the plain for the first time. In order to consolidate its position, Elam tried to start a war between Hammurabi's Babylonian kingdom and the kingdom of Larsa.  Hammurabi and the king of Larsa made an alliance when they discovered this duplicity and were able to crush the Elamites, although Larsa did not contribute greatly to the military effort. Angered by Larsa's failure to come to his aid, Hammurabi turned on that southern power, thus gaining control of the entirety of the lower Mesopotamian plain by c. 1763 BCE.

As Hammurabi was assisted during the war in the south by his allies from the north, the absence of soldiers in the north led to unrest. Continuing his expansion, Hammurabi turned his attention northward, quelling the unrest and soon after crushing Eshnunna. Next the Babylonian armies conquered the remaining northern states, including Babylon's former ally Mari, although it is possible that the 'conquest' of Mari was a surrender without any actual conflict. In just a few years, Hammurabi had succeeded in uniting all of Mesopotamia under his rule. Of the major city-states in the region, only Aleppo and Qatna to the west inSyria maintained their independence. However, one stele of Hammurabi has been found as far north as Diyarbekir, where he claims the title "King of the Amorites". Vast numbers of contract tablets, dated to the reigns of Hammurabi and his successors, have been discovered, as well as 55 of his own letters. These letters give a glimpse into the daily trials of ruling an empire, from dealing with floods and mandating changes to a flawed calendar, to taking care of Babylon's massive herds of livestock. Hammurabi died and passed the reins of the empire on to his son Samsu-iluna in c. 1750 BCE.
