Aging America

A Review on the Growth of Aging Population in America

America’s population is going to be a gray one. Although this idea may seem exaggerated but this is a scientific prediction according to the census burse of the United States.
“According to the 2000 Census, the United States population is older than it has ever been. This graying of America occurred gradually over the latter half of the twentieth century and it will continue for much of the first half of the 21st century. This section examines both the absolute and relative increase in the size of the elderly population” (SSDAN, 2002:2).
Data Warehouse, also declared that the U.S. population increased by about 59 million between 1981 and 2002, representing a 26 percent increase in the total population. There are interesting points in its statistics that shows the situation of genders, races and ethical groups in the time.

The data
· The U.S. population age 65 and over has grown year after year, with the female portion of that population dominating the group.
· The percentage of all those age 65 and older, the proportion of whites declined steadily from 1981 to 2002.
· The proportion of blacks and American Indian/Alaska Natives remained fairly constant.
· The proportion of Asian/Pacific Islanders, in contrast, has grown significantly in the same period.
· As a percentage of all persons age 65 or older, Asian/Pacific Islanders grew from 0.93% up to 2.80% accounting for nearly all the decrease in the relative size of the white population.

Analysis
Growing the aging population comparing with the others age groups have some positive and negative points. About the positive points it could be said that the presence of older members of family helps to improve intergeneration relations; this process can lead to “primary” social support in the family for children as Peter Berger set it out in The Social Construction of Reality (1991).
But one problem would decrease the positive impacts of presence of this group. The first problem is historical and it relates to the changes of family pattern in the United States.
The change of family pattern from Extended to Nuclear leads to changes of its members’ role. Goode in The Family (1964) analyzes that after World War II the form of family was changed. He also believes that industrial revolution influenced in the process very latter. The United States in 1870s joined to the process of industrialization (Landes, 1969). Goode (1964), discusses that one of the consequences of isolating family, from extended form to nuclear, is neglecting aging members like grand parents. In the family structure that mother and father work out of the home and children study in school what do they need the grand parents?
The data of this report also shows that the population of women is growing more than men. This growth may resulted less social support for aging women in the patrimonial society of America; because if aging population be regarded less than the other age groups, the women consists much of them.
According to the data the growth of whites are less than the other ethnic groups like blacks, American Indian/Alaska Natives and Asian/Pacific Islanders. The bitter history of whites’ racism and discriminations against the ethnical groups especially blacks would result that there is no great support for the aging population of these groups, too.
The last point is about the marriage condition of the aging groups in the future. A report of Census Bureau declares that: “Householders living alone had become the most common specific household structure in 2000, replacing the 1990 combination of householder, spouse, and natural and/or adopted children” (Hobbs, 2005: 1). This is a warning for future because it means that current generation will be the aging population of next years, without family support. Social planners of the United States should think about this problem more.

The Partial Representation: Mississippi Burning

The first pictures in my mind about Blacks in the United States has been formed since that day that I saw a film about the discriminator actions against Blacks. Two things were very strange for me on that time. First was the racial reactions about the people who were human just with black color and second was about the people who was human, also, but was just woman. I asked myself: why are these white men this much bad against the black and white women?

The Movie Characters
Seeing that film last week repeats the questions of childhood in my mind again. The film that I saw in 12 or 13 was Mississippi Burning that was directed by Alen Parker in 1988. The two F.B.I. characters of this film were sent to look murders of the civil-rights workers who were killed in their car. The leader of the two-man team is Ward (Willem Dafoe), a neat young man who wear the fashion glasses of 60s decade. His partner, and the film's volatile center, is a not easily categorized fellow named Anderson (Gene Hackman). Anderson is one of those independently minded Southerners who confound the works that were done with Blacks. He is not only worries about blacks but also the things that are done on one of police officers’ wife, is important for him. The tensions that develop between Ward and Anderson are not entirely unpredictable although both of them tried to do their best for finding the murders. So the film's resolution depends on two different characters.

Historic Highlights
Studying American Studies clears for me some of dark sides of old questions: about the history of Patrimonial actions of White men in America. In fact in this culture white men are superior and White women in the lower stage and Blacks in inferior. Women and black in patrimonial tradition are a part of property without any equal right. This bitter reality is portrayed in the American Promise (2005) and People’s history (2003), with pointing out the house and land’s organizing orders in 18th century. In this organization white men were master and blacks were slaves who work for whites. The white women had responsibility of organizing house affaires and take caring their husband. They had no identity just with the name of their fathers or their husbands. In this system the marriage of girls were planed according to the father’s choice and for improving the net of men’s capital. So women had no duty just reserving men. This right abuse although led to women movement but the heritage of that tradition still has been seen in the USA and of course in this movie. The condition of woman, who is the wife of police officer, represents this historical function, with her silent, her fear and her obey in one hand and her humanity and worry about black’s destiny in the other hand.

Mississippi Events according to News
Reviewing the news of real events shows that Mississippi Burnings is one of the several events of bloody 60s.
The time line of U. S. civil rights, which is started from 1950s, shows the other bitter events: "Ten blacks shot in Mississippi race riots" (25 April 1960), " Active Herbert lee murdered in Mississippi" (25 September 1961), "Mississippi race riots over first black student" (1 October 1962), "three civil rights activities found dead" (4 August 1964). 4 April 1968 also had shocking news of Martin Looter King’s dead by shooting gun.
“Three civil rights activists found dead” was a title of BBC web site in the day of 4 August 1964. The different dimensions of the event comparing with the movie are cleared when you understood that the story of three men’s dead was happened after Mount Zion Church’s destroying by KKK group. This is more interesting to know that the two important men who were killed in that event, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman, were with, as well as two of that three death civil right activities. Schwerner’s wife, Rita, said: "My husband, Michael Schwerner, did not die in vain. If he and Andrew Goodman had been Negroes, the world would have taken little notice of their deaths. After all, the slaying of a Negro in Mississippi is not news. It is only because my husband and Andrew Goodman were white that the national alarm had been sounded."

Representing of which Reality?
Mississippi Burnings shows the challenges among white men, Blacks and women in that period of time very well. The challenges of whites who want to declare their idea about their prosperity is portrayed clear. This challenge is not only about whites and blacks, and white men and women, but also between white men themselves. Two FBI officers who methodologically and theoretically had problem represented this moral challenge well.
But there is a blind point in the news that is pointed out in some of the analysis and critics. The event of Mississippi Burning in fact had two parts, the first in the church and the second in the car of three men; the problem that resulted to driving to Mississippi were Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman, two white men. this side of reality is not represented in the movie! In fact during the movie we see that how white men abuses blacks’ human right, how the other white men try to improve blacks’ right, but what about that part which talks about the plea of noticing this event. Has Mississippi Burning highlighted for Blacks’ right or for showing whites’ affaires?
This is the artistic power of Director and Cinematic tools to form our mind and answer our questions. But unfortunately all of the audience have not the opportunity of studying Cultural and Historical studies.

Scot Case

Before and After the Project of Nation Building

Sending out a broadcaster of Radio was hot news of media one month ago. He was sent out because of saying offensive things about a black man, this event makes me thanking about the changes of condition of African Americans in USA. Dred Scot is a good example in the History of America that shows how white thought and may think about them.

Dred Scot is one of the most infamous causes of United States history. The processes of his sue in the courts of USA although longed about 10 years but it resulted to two consequences. First of all declaring the attitudes of Euro settlements (whites) about African American (blacks); I mean up to that time American claim about all the citizens was equal rights, the mottos like Democracy, Liberalism and Freedom are rooted in this claim, but Dred Scot case showed that all of the ethnicity groups of this multi ethnical country are not supported equally. About the second consequence it could be said that Dred Scot case was one of the main the pretexts of Civil Wars, the first sparks of the firing war that destroyed all of the new flourished civilization of South.

Scot's Life
Dred Scot was born in a slave family in Virginia in about 1800. He moved with his owner, Peter Blow, to St. Louis (Missouri) in 1830, where he sold to John Emerson, a U.S. Army surgeon. In 1836 he moved to Minnesota, the land that banned slavery under the Missouri Compromise, with his master and married with a slave. In 1837 Emerson left Minnesota for Missouri and after one year Scat family joined him. In 1846 Scat sued to gain his freedom for himself and his family after Emerson died, he argued that living in Minnesota had made him and his family free according to Missouri Compromise. According to this compromise slavery in some states and north of Missouri prohibited. Scot in the first court could gain the freedom but Mr. Sanford, brother in law of Mr. Emerson appealed to the Supreme Court and this result changed and Scat never gained his right just by buying.

The Right of Citizenship as the Race
Scot appealed to four courts St. Louis Circuit Court, Missouri Supreme Court, Federal Court and U.S. Supreme Court. Although Scot case was represented by very famous men like Montgomery Blair and George T. Curtis but finally they couldn't do anything. The main subject was the citizenship right of Scot that has been addressed in ratification of the Constitution of the United States in 1787. At that time some or all adult black males could vote in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont and New York, and blacks had held public office in Ohio and Massachusetts.
In March 1857, the court ruled in a seven to 20 decision that Scot was still a slave and there fore not entitled to sue in court. Justice Taney in 54- page majority opinion of the court argued that free blacks could never be U. S. citizens. He argued that blacks are not included and was not intended to be included, under the word "citizens" in the Constitution. Taney based this unprecedented legal argument entirely on race. So as Scat was not a citizen of United State he could not sue his freedom in Supreme Court. He just nine month of buying his freedom by the sons of Blow, the old master, died in 1858.

Gaining the Right that was Given 10 Years Ago
There is an upset question that why Scot family fallowed Mr. Emerson in 1338. As I said Scot was a free man in Minnesota and he could choice another job out of working as a servant. So why he accept to join the Emerson family in slavery state, Missouri, when he didn't have any obligation?
One of the possible answers could be unknowing, he didn't know about his freeman rights so, or maybe he knew but his freedom in that time was just fiscally and not mentally! I mean that Scot didn't believe his freedom in all of domination of his life!
Another answer could be the feel of blacks about their masters that formed toward history of slavery; they think that they have to be faithful about their masters always even after giving freedom right. And I think the problem of African Americans in United States is rooted from this form of freedom that they did not Gain it but it was given them. In fact it could be said that beyond the injustice pressure of whites, blacks themselves had passive role in believing the freedom.
Finally I think the Scot's unknowing rooted in one of the recent communication theories, information gap. According to this theory information is extended in the society and among all of the people equally but the using and understanding it is not same and it dependents on the social statue of them. Wealthy, education and race are some of the main factors that determined the social statue. People fallow that new information in society firstly, as much as their understanding that about the blacks in 19th century it could be said that was so weak because they could not use of educational system in majority. Secondly people mention the information as much as their importance statue in the society, when blacks are calculated in the society as inferior statue, automatically they go away of getting information of society. Obviously the black that were not saw in the American Society as Slave, didn't care about the information. The process of their understanding about laws and social affairs was time consuming and this time so longed that Scot could not gain his freedom right, the right that he was received it 10 years ago!

The Process of Nation Building
After the Republican and northern victory, Congress and the states passed the Civil War amendments to overturn Scot. In 1865, slavery abolished in United States, in 1964 Civil Right Act and in 1965 the Voting Right Act happened. But these events were not actions to redress an injustice done to blacks! Even civil wars that seem for slavery were for pursuing the economic interests of Southerns and Northerns. The process of calculating African Americans as citizens is a part of nation building in America, this act also is fallowed for American process. The reactions about Affirmative Action by Republicans acknowledge this point. The process of nation Building makes strong narrative of being American for all of the residents of the country. So the situation of 1850, now is changed; the situation that made the injustice sentence: "Blacks could never be citizens of the united states, even if they were born in the country and considered to be citizens of the states in which they lived." Now we face to some meaningful reactions about Blacks and it seems that these reactions are in parallel of putting the common sense among the all of ethnicities in USA, nor real respect to them.

Incomplete Modernized World and Insecurity for Americans:

Review on Different Representation of Societies in Babel Film (2006)

Three years after popular 21 Gram, the new production of Alejandro González Iñárritu , Babel (2006), came to the world maybe more popularity! This time we heard that this film is Islamic phobic and representation of uncivilized violence in East. After seeing the film I found that some of the comments about it are not so true, this film is world phobic if we mind America in the separate side. Putting four stories together from four countries makes a global sphere in Babel that accounts the insecure world for Americans.

Because of a gun shot
The narrative of this film suburb on a gun shot to an American tour bus which goes to visit Morocco, and fallows by showing a part of Japanese school girl whose father gave the gun to a Moroccan family, during the film also an American family who deals with the gun shot and a Mexican family that one of them is watcher of American children (kids of the couple who travels to Morocco), are represented.

In Shadow of Modernity
I think modernity and the process of its entrance to world’s countries is main point for contributing Babel. The face of Modernity in one hand and the consequences of Modernity in the other hand are bold representation of feeling security in the Babel’s created world.

In Babel’s world, Morocco is not modern society, the structure of community is primitive, the families live in deserts or houses are plastered with cob, is not rational separation among family life, sexual life and entertainments. Japan but is modern society, with tall buildings, big highways, luxury clubs, developed digital systems like screen saver phone and finally great welfare for citizens. Mexico has different representation, keeping traditional costumes in parallel of trying to join modernity, is represented clearly in the wedding party of the watcher’s son. And finally America, the poor Americans who are worry about their security at the first moments of their representation. The face of modernity is complete in the American representation, for example encourages using of pure water in travel or supporting the security of citizens with checking the cars at night and requesting the parent’s permission for bringing the children to Mexico.

It could be said that the representation of modernity just in American version has deeply layers but in Japan we see it apparently! Modernity in Japan with Babel’s views has wonderful manifestation, so wonderful that even we didn’t see it in representation of America, but this context has another mean, the process of modernization is not completed in Japan! I mean the philosophy of circulation of modernity in the world is criticized by Babel. How does Modernity publish in the world? What does the elements of modernity? Who are publishing elements of modernity? Who are using the elements? And what are the consequences of this process? There are main questions of this narrative. The questions which just are asked but in half answered and even some of them leave unanswered.

America as Exceptional Society
In the face of modernity we see that Americans receive to a stage that make suitable and supported situation for themselves in their country, such a stage that they want to aware of their outside. But the entire world is shown in Babel unsecured, because of the incomplete circulation of modernity! Supplying the gun for a Morocco family by a Japan man, injuring American woman in Morocco or wandering American children in frontier’s dry deserts between Mexico and USA, the problem of sexual relationship for Moroccan boy and Japans girl and inability to solve this human instinct (in both society, civilized or uncivilized), and finally representing the role of Police in all of the societies are not accidental events, they are meaningful. The clear message is this: although Americans join to modernity themselves without problem (as in film we don’t see any problems in American society in this way), but it is not meaning that they don’t have any challenge with entire incomplete modernized world!

So it could be said that Babel represents the American society in exceptional side of the other three societies, the society which fell insecurity and rights in it. Babel in the other words notifies the potential dangerous for continuing this circulation of modernity in the world, warning for world’s people and of course for Americans.

Incomplete Representation of Societies, Regardless about Audience
Babel although is successful in representing some problems of global modernity in the world but its representatives are so spiteful, especially in Morocco that is contributed as an Islamic society. Also Babel has total timid and worried character for introducing Americans that is not true, even the Americans who are in the tour bus as representatives of American society are white and speak English but this is not true representation of American multicultural society!

Babel although wins to draw audience’s attention to different life style in four countries and connecting them approximately, but it doesn’t have acceptable answer for them; leaving Japans girl satisfied with his father talks, killing the boys and their father in Morocco and putting the Mexican woman out of job and finally the project of surviving the American family, are defrauding ends that not only confuse audience but also insults their intelligence perception.

In fact I think Babel with all of the attempts to not titling American role could do it under the layers of the narrative, and creates a big question:
What could be done for Americans in this insecure world?

Valentin as a Famous Teribune

Flowers, lingerie, candles, photo DVD, custom candy hearts, diamond earrings, concert tickets, silk sheets, chocolates and Ted beers are the familiar things for the show windows of city’s shops on February 14 every year, Valentine comes laughing, with a wave of happiness, gift and smile in many streets of the world. The days before the Valentine day young girls asking each other what do you guess about your valentine’s gift? Where do you go with your lover? Although this day becomes so famous in the world that the young or middle age people ashamed of absent minding it, but the knowledge of philosophy of this day is hidden for a lot of them yet.
I don’t want to consider root and history of naming this day, the documentary is available. I am to know that why among the days of love in many countries of the world, valentine became well- noun as charismas day? What was the guarantee of this day since 1847 in the North American society and publishing it in the other societies?
The Global Days of Love

Koreans with black day on April 14, Japanese with white day on March 14, Chinese with the couple days of the night of sevens, Iranians with Sepandarmazgan day on February 25, Colombians with Love and Friendship Day on September and also Dragobete day that is celebrated by Romanians on February 24 celebrate especial day for the lovers and this point shows that the determining this day have been globalize for many years in the world. So we could see that Valentine is not unique event in the world!
Try to show your love on best

The art of Capitalism system is popularize the custom culture, Valentine came to North America with in the 19th century with the message of market. In the U.S the first mass-produced valentines of embossed paper lace were produced and sold shortly after 1847 by Esther Howland, her father operated a large book and stationery store, and she took her inspiration from an English valentine she had received. Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards. The Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.
The cyber space also help to economic power to create the luxury demands of gifts for example with listing the shops which sale the things or introducing the designers who could supply the costumers’ needs or with locating suitable place at the top of famous web sites researchers like MSN and Yahoo for counting the days left to Valentine’s day! Also this arena gives suggestions for costumers to select suitable gift according to their gender or their single situation.
The Most Famous Tribune, Famous the Day

So it could be said that the Economic with access to main tools for connecting to young people enable to determining people’s demands, preference of think and regard to events and finally selling. Valentine, in fact is famous because it has the powerful guarantee like this and the main sailors have main tribune for influencing on customers.

Behind of Luxury Smiles:

Analyzing The image of Bush

and Arab Crown Prince

“Q Mr. President, the Crown Prince raised the prospect of Saudi support for Iraq's oil embargo, and are you concerned that Arab nations might use oil as a -- try to use oil as a bargaining chip in the Middle East crisis?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, Saudi Arabia made it clear, and has made it clear publicly, that they will not use oil as a weapon. And I appreciate that, respect that, and expect that to be the case.” [1](2002/04/20)

This was one of the Bush’s answers to journalists’ questions in the Ranch of Crawford, Texas, after Meeting with Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Although president in this press conference remarked that the most important points of this meeting were about the “peace” and its “stability in the Middle East and the world”, “the

war on terror”, “Israel and Palestine” and so on, but the wave of attitudes and critiques about the published photos of this visit showed that this event has been contributed more than the simple news that was spared about it! Nonetheless the photojournalism is one of the main tools of media for influencing on public opinions but the extended chance of Visual Analysis today, let people to think about the visual icons of news more than before.

Analyzing Visuals

Many studies were titled on visual analysis like Images of Welfare (Golden and Middleton, 1982), Visualising Deviance (Ericson, Baranek and Chan, 1987), Triumph of the Image (Mowlana, Gerbner and Schiller, 1992), and also in Mass Communication Research Methods (Hansen, Cottle, Negrine and Newbold, 1998) one section is devoted to the methods of analyzing “still and moving images”. In this section the authors remarked that “the four means of visual analysis labeled for convenience “distortion”, “symbolic”, “Semitic’, “epistemological” approaches have each deployed a number of methods and techniques”, and in explanation of Epistemological guarantee came that “ the analytical focus and interest is not on the veracity or ‘truthfulness’ of certain images and their forms of distortion analysis, nor on the symbolism of images and their role in the construction of particular story- related meanings, but rather the way in which such images help construct a sense of news as a distinct, and trustworthy, from of knowledge.”(Hansen and others, 1998: 213 and 214)

So with this background I want to begin my work on the journalistic photos that was published with the news of ‘President Bush Meeting with Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia’, the photos that in formal view talk about the good relationship between U. S. A, and Saudi governments but behind of these luxury smiles and the climes of protection of Peace in the published news a history of events is existence! As “the project news epistemology, or ‘way of knowing’, pursued by news analysts concerns the generalized ‘objectivity’ climes of news.” (That reference: 214) I am to work on the massages that this verbal Document or record want to transmit and I want to point that how the related photos have been representing this event in the different words!

The Reflections

There are some of clear and agreeable things in this photo, they handed and laughing, they are walking or stand for getting photo, they don’t have any translator, and they are ready for showing off themselves for the newsmaker cameras (main photo) more than it the other things lick the light of sun day or the green colure of the grass that is in their background talk about a kind of happy situation; for the contributing the reflections of this events we could divide audience to three groups, in the names of American, Arab and global;

For American Audience
This photo for American audience, it could be said that, don’t have any means just foreign policy and of course the interests of USA in Persian Golf, in the other word oil, my witnesses for this audience are the journalists points on the press conference that I bring it at the beginning of my article, when they talk about some worries about the decisions of Crown Prince in the future about the oil embargo!

For Arab Audience
But the Arabs reactions about this photo could be over the agreeable relations! My witnesses for this claim is the documents that Craig Unger worked on them (2004), in his book he regarded the relationships between USA and Saudi, during the eighties to September 11, he talked about the majority of “Wahhabis” in Saudi who “ see the United states as the Great Satan” (2004: 83), and they are not satisfied of deep relationships between their country and USA! Also Unger in this book bring some sample for showing this hatefully, for example the car bombe exploding in Riyadh, on November 13, 1995, that killed seven people – five of them Americans-!

Global Audience
The global audiences are the users of cyber space in internet, I mean. In this part I want to bring the other versions of this photo that are formed and emphasized differently.
The first photo emphasized on the Bush and Crown Prince’s hands, this sign pointed that this showing is regarded.

Second and third formed with adding some comments from Bush and Crown Prince, the second’s discourse is about a plan for the oil price and third talks about the culture of Arab nation in one hand and willing to join to it in bush’s idea, about the participation of women in the other hand.

Fourth case has official language, and talks about the oil.

The last case also emphasized on the oil as the undeniable thing for the American newspapers, after the visiting.
So it could be said that the deeper state of routine news is important for global audiences not the absolute information in the news!


Conclusion
“War on terror” according to bush’s comments was main case of discourses between him and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia in his meeting, so we contributed this as the claim of news, but something like reactions in internet about the related photo show that this clime is not true, it means main part of audiences, as American journalists and internet’s users, don’t accepted it! The epistemological approach in analyzing studies images in the construction of knowledge, not simply in relation to particular news items or stories. The context of audience’s opinions and in fact reactions about the news is this knowledge, I mean.

The last reminding is this that Bin Laden as main target of the project of War on Terror has such popularity in Saudi country that “Several militant Islamic fundamentalist groups, claimed credit for Bin Laden and cited him as their major influence.” (Unger, 2004: 171)he Bin Laden in Bush’s comment about Saudi? If the main discourses in that meeting were about Peace so what they think about the main target? So this is the main question that we should think about it more.

Shhh for you

Miss. Christian Amanpour
Journalists are respectable in the world, from every nation every religion and under the govern of every political country, sometimes. They work with this aware that they play with their life! In the best situation or worst, they might are in the danger of misunderstanding! Journalism in developed countries or developing has special dangers because the right and objective report of right always is not in interest of powerfulness! But I think being journalist in the countries that are at the beginning step of practicing Democracy is harder than the others! Defense of freedom of speech, sometimes has heaviest prices for them. They don’t have any guarantee for their job and even suitable insurance for their health their security during their work and retirement, but what is the cause of continuing this way? Attractiveness of policy is not good reason! Because the policy has its interests for the people who could play with this vague tool. All of the journalists in these countries logically could not be policies. I think patriotism and hop for becoming better situation for the country is acceptable answer. At the beginning of February Iran was the host of some experts and journalists for reviewing the nuclear institutions. Like the other journalists, CNN agency also set his famous reporter off to Iran, Christiane Amanpour. She is CNN’s chief international correspondent based in London and before joining CNN, Amanpour worked at WJAR-TV, Providence, R.I., as an electronic graphics designer. Amanpour has reported on most crises from the world’s many hotspots including Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, Pakistan, Somalia, Rwanda and the Balkans, throughout her career Amanpour has succeeded in securing a number of high profile and exclusive interviews with world leaders. Just as Iran’s nuclear crisis was developing, Amanpour secured the first and only interview with Iran’s new president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Without any justice about every country’s right to access to nuclear technology or respect to the internal affairs of every country I am to pointed this interesting things about this symbol of Journalist in the world of media and news! Amanpour who recently, was named a Fellow of the Society of Professional Journalists and she has also been bestowed with a number of honorary degrees from America’s prestigious universities has surprising reactions with Iranian journalists in Iran! Iranian people in February 3 of 2007 were witnesses of shockingly face of Amanpour with Iranian journalists in IRAN TV, “Twenty and Thirty” program showed that how she refuse of answering to questions of Iranian Journalists with rudely voice of Shhh! She didn’t let them to ask and when they want to know they also could go to USA and make report about American policies, he answered hard that “I don’t know.” She practices this rude voice several times and I think this is the sign of her culture or professional work that several times were admired from American media! This professional journalist that talks with Iranian journalists in Persian language (because her ancestors are Iranian) saw herself in the safe guard, this is not important that what she think about the other nation! Maybe she know herself as original American and according to the American illusion, American Exceptionalism, she think is the best nation! But this is very important question for me that what she think about the other journalists as a symbol journalist!? This is the question that should be worked about it!
