Writing in this thorny issue, multilateral and writing indicates a sense of genuine crisis of civilization. It has been written and said a lot on the subject of Arab culture and its merits and multi-I_kaladtha, and it seems that the policy was still able to come up on the cultural heritage, and can write or say.
Culture is the standard by which combine the identity of all human society and each phase of the life of the community cultural features, are influenced by factors fulfillment or disintegration.
Culture are: "This is all the compound, which includes knowledge, beliefs and art, morality and the other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of the community. They include things such as tools and art process by means of which human life. 1" and are elements of the culture patterns of behavior representing the relation to what turned him from the material, and patterns of behavior that resembles the relationship with the world of ideas.
Comes knowledge, to be expelled from the culture that is metaphysically backward to the place is more advanced and Jeddah on the basis of objective facts 2 and the culture in the present two images first official culture of the ceilings and directions imposed and perpetuated by the ruling regimes, so that does not exceed the sum philosophy of governance of these systems. Second, the culture of peoples Bthblorha expression of the yearning for social change and human reality and the formation of conscience is capable of driving change.
I have been associated with culture always policy, but is in fact an expression of a political and a political process, whether its field of Arts or Humanities or popular culture. The growing role of the political culture in modern times in a manner unprecedented in history, with the emergence of the nation state or the nation state. Even in Europe, where there was talk at the beginning of the modern nations of its firmly established, it was necessary to recruit for a culture of re-drafting of that nation, the project to conform with the requirements of the modern nation-state. On these bases, Vaen culture is the life of society without which society should be dead, as there is no human group without culture no matter how small, no matter appeared not in the maximum delays, every human group reflect any means, intellectual, psychological, process, or views of the universe and life. This means that where there is no culture of social behavior in an individual way of life in the community.
And cultured, not just one of the best reading, writing, or obtained a degree, what distinguishes the educated man in any society, are essential attributes: "social awareness, which enables the individual to see the community and issues from a global standpoint, and analysis of these issues at a theoretical level coherent "The role of social consciousness that can be played by the social, as well as special abilities that conferred by the professional competence or Kvaiath property." 3.
The study the problems of cultural current, namely, the reality of the cultural movement of Arab requires the absorption properties of the evolution of Arab society, because of our quest to determine the influence of traditional factors and the factors contemporary development of productive capitalism prevailing in the Arab world for reasons of historical and social - economic and political backgrounds. Because they are isolated from each other and the many forms of the challenge lies behind a catalyst one or different mechanisms of action for intentional and one a non go Bkeviat different.
If we legitimized here to move concepts to fields of historical, social and economic field of culture, we can emphasize that cultures are the most vital is placed in the habitats of tougher challenges to come responses and bounds, positive responses and are not affiliated or fake or Velih to ensure the vitality of these cultures shape activist the existence of a civilized and healthy. Accordingly, the cultures that insist on inward looking, with not such a closure, is more willing to idle and slow death. And faces the cultures of open communication problem and how to organize and control, making these cultures by the interaction of a positive, compelling and is not a party Mtzlma so as to produce this assumption the problem of entity Profile if the social being moved to another level of influence, the level of national entity of culture in the midst of presence great humanitarian.
Who are interested in this topic, is caused by the nationalist movement, its various meanings and objectives of the-cultural links between them and sources of global culture, has written many of the authors of books and studies in the subject of nationalism and the National Project for the culture, but we believe that most of the books of its source code its culture of a certain western culture , and rare to find authors and no one in this field was limited to the Arab heritage culture alone.
Has been linked with the idea of national attention in organically linked, does not make one without the other no matter what the position of the author. The mere interest in the interest of the renewal of the relationship between past and present, but if we set aside this and say: - What raised by Edward Sapir, in his book, "Language" to "language as a tool of culture, situated in two levels, there are the level where the relationship between language and reality sensory relationship directly or Kalambeshrp, if when the speaker, the listener is following his speech and his eyes on the affairs of reality to match between the symbol of language on the one hand and the conditions of real-world, on the other, but there is another level of language, and when the shaping speaker or the writer from his words, if it is located at Azan listener like going from an unknown source, and here we not listen, and understand the truth as we hear .4 "Here, we say that the Arabic language, which formed our own literary heritage, is the language issued by the second level - a deeper level - which comes with the words, like a non-speaker, individual, or as spoken spokesman for the whole universe, and may be difficult for the tracker to note that the fundamental difference between supporters of the old and the supporters of the new in our modern cultural, is in the way language use: used in the manner vague suggestive as they were, so make it as if issued by the absolute over the heads accidents, or the way we use the obvious direct trace the life events and current realities of Nature perceived? If we believe that on the negative aspects of culture can not be in the place of receipt and absorption of the challenges today, but the source of generation of these challenges as well. That is, at a time when it faces a particular challenge it would send to other challenges.
I have met with Arab culture, Western thought and culture a key twice, the first time in an era of prosperity of the Arab Islamic state - the Abbasid period and the second time in our time. Arab culture has challenged the same time and then challenged in the same mentality and the other producer of intellectual and cultural responses was the leading Arab intellectual in more than one discipline and my life. Has proved to the Arab mind then able to control mechanism of openness and dialogue with the retention of identity .. distinguishing .
Has been expressed in adjustments to regulate the relationship between congenital Project of Arab culture and contemporary Western Center and manifestations of life and lifestyles, educational systems, manufacturing and management, political and other much lacking in Arab life in the first stages of advancement.
And conclude that the Arab culture in the early posed faced three challenges:
Ottoman challenge based on the obliteration of identity and obscurantist. The challenge for Western, which addresses vulnerabilities and weakness of the Arab culture. And challenges of self is the strength of traditional attitudes clinging to outdated modes of thinking and loyalty in the face of the new impulses for change and modernization.
What is prevalent today in the Arab culture or life underscores the contemporary Arab culture in its infancy I were not one of ways to respond to the challenges facing the Pan Arab life at the time, the diversity of the natural and spontaneous in a matter of varying the responses of intellectuals and their needs and loyalty of intellectual and social 5.
Has lived radioactive periods of Arab culture and also periods of stagnation or inactivity has not delivered in both cases of fear of dominance and containment by foreign cultures. 6 does not escape from being challenged from within by some Arab intellectuals who did not hide her disguises and hostility under the guise of modernity is an old campaign failed to achieve its objectives and did not seem so suspicious now. Although advocates of immersion in Western culture and tracing pace who believe that Arab culture will not live up to them from a culture of outdated and still adheres to roots and relating to the past.
A review of the reality of Arab culture at the present time we believe it is facing a challenge are many and varied, both in education and in the field of media, including audio and video. In education, students are filling the minds of a batch of information aimed at the exploitation and Astelabhm and stripped of their identity and are separated from their roots, in addition to what it has become the structure of the teaching of the weak disturbance.
In the area of media and despite the allocation of funds has remained the cultural aspect of marginal and superficial has not allocated sufficient space of time compared to programs and professional sports and others. The result of all this negative phenomenon affected by the identity and often bruising and lost the most important characteristics affecting the actors and the disruption of its role on the humanitarian level. We can conclude that the Arab culture in all the confrontations managed to preserve their cultural identity and cohesion and unity as much as they could to provide a variety of controversial based on the fertile ground of dialogue and deep controversy. Which diversity and difference could not be contained, without the precondition of freedom. 7
Has produced the Arab culture in light of all interactions and disturbances in the face of challenges that befell it to some responses which emphasizes maintaining the Arab identity and unity of national and multi-processing, as well as the emphasis on flexibility of the Arab mind in the ways of dialogue and the positive benefit from all this. Combination of challenges, as well as cultural problems of modernization of society and political interests.
<!--<!-- The current challenges:
<!--<!-- Means of communication: With all new development, which matched the means of communication put to the society and culture, problems and new challenges aimed at identity expressed by the sovereign in the political field and on my own in the cultural field as much as they put on society and culture also benefits and positive outcomes the feasibility of investment or overhang under the burden of problems and challenges it offers to the social field means to the culture and thinking of the opportunities it offers for such so confrontations. Technology, in all its forms is no longer a means of communication as much as become a means of change has contributed and contributes to the routing patterns of thinking the same ability to contribute to the adaptation of the means of our livelihood to the point where we are as a development and extension of our senses, first and foremost and our ability in general. In such circumstances, what is available to the intellectual and media encounters of the Centre for political and cultural influence in the world is too complex to address perceptions of a traditional strength of intentions that are based on a mechanism to think rusty and disabled in the system is the most comprehensive and accurate throughout human history.
If we believe that treatments are available in such a complex should not be left to face the counter or can not be originally the indifference in waiting for developments that bear the coming few other parts of Annie confrontations looming with very serious consequences. Which requires review of the strategy in All systems of information, education, culture and before that in the form of social life ... It is the most comprehensive review is not undertaken by governments that are not separate from the masses which governments find themselves called upon to confirm the authority of the cultured and the culture and the special importance in social life. And when we move in this challenge, the level of the outside to within the system of two Arab thought and culture, it shift necessitated by the positive adjustment in the provision of insurance to do a cultural act in the face of a cultural anti-namely, to face a new challenge can be invested.
Certainly, given culture and intellectuals such a role, it can not take place only in a climate of freedom it confers on the community and enjoy the shadow culture immunity which allows them the difference and the debate that are the Smta any culture are meant to engage as a system capable of confrontation and acculturation and conflict.
In order to protect our culture and our civilization and secured against alienation attempts to target and deal with the negative. We believe that there is a responsibility of the official bodies in the Arab world is to pursue a policy of Arab cultural and clear Bearing in mind the needs of the citizen and the requirement of progress without losing sight of the circumstances and the variables of age, which is, therefore, the lifting of censorship on the media and support for cultural institutions financially and morally and ethically and to provide the climate and circumstance appropriate for the prosperity and continuity, and to remove any constraints to freedom of creators, as well as raise the Trusteeship gatherings and cultural associations and the provision of spaces necessary for them to play their role properly.
It remains the role of Arab intellectuals in the face of challenges, where it is a big responsibility in the educational process is not excessive, and the incumbent on the Arab intellectual to be bound by issues of nation and the masses yearning for freedom and a better life and a secure prosperity and peace. The challenge can not be done from within the ivory towers or clubs closed or through the elite vanguard of arrogant or condescending to the masses, but among the masses, and through them.
- Finally, ask whether our culture in crisis?
I think that most Arab intellectuals acknowledge a crisis in the cultural product in the Arab world, and this decision comes on the forms of cultural creativity itself. Preferably if they're trying to question the causes of the crisis and the reasons for the low level as they, and not just comfortable peremptory provisions or condescending Valtsawl the reasons will inevitably lead to an approach to understand the movement of reality and the different stages, and thus different patterns of aesthetics.
- Manifestations of the crisis:
Culture occupies the lowest degree of priority in the Arab world, which monitors the budgets which is not a poor position to develop cultural programs immediate or long, as well as any annual programs have continuity only rarely and serve as systems in Arab countries. As well as the culture of neglect of children, as a culture propaganda only. There is confusion between the character creator creator of innovation, and specialists in this type of work. Vital confused and extends the press, the media profession to become a kind of cultural creativity, Fitrdy professional level of the press, does not benefit the culture. Here we can not forget the tyranny of political content, logo hesitate qualities of creative business cultural norms. And thereby make the political content of the noble to the jobless for creativity, the prosecution and the dumping of the recipient slogans duplicate and bad sense of the building. And unable critical in these cases so as not to accuse of treason.
Cllip and play a role in flooding the market with several literary works issued by the publication of certain views are published for those who find it consistent with the orientation or calculated in one form or another. Here, play a role favoritism creates an atmosphere oppressive, and far from freedom, as well as non-correction or shed light on the creative work itself. We can not forget fabricating awards and titles to people who lack the talent, and the concomitant amplification of the award, and the tattoo is granted. And do not forget that intellectual who tries to impose its vision and ideas to the public and patronize them, and refuse to share their thoughts and dreams and hopes is doomed to failure because it is in fact not a real intellectual, but is an alternative to authoritarian. The intellectual who withdraw within themselves and choose the position of neutrality and silence of the masses and parking issues to resign and isolation, taking the work of cultural luxury, and a tool for entertainment. Perhaps the most serious of these are all intellectual, who defeated Almstalp before it is an easy tool in the hands of others carried out the dictates of his voice echoes and opportunists as a conduit for the culture of defeat and surrender.
The study of negative cultural movement of Arab and multiple negatives of this are many, varied, and consider the composition of the most dangerous in the face a challenge if we mind the seriousness of functioning within the structure of Arab culture on the one hand and the mechanisms and instruments of local intellectual on the other.
