American values

really i can't think in any thing except tunisian revolution these times but it can share some thing in this subject about american values due to most arab think of america as assistant member of the arab systems . but , what about american people ? what are their values ? and from where i get my ideas about them ? and how i get my ideas about them ?!
in past i used to think in american as those people who live free life , love money , love work ,less care of family :) most of these ideas come to my mind from watching american movies and the rest from politicians behavior :( and it seems now it was a wrong image because it depend on very far ideas , not touching !
as amember in elrc , it was abig opportunity to meet american people and try to understand how are they thinking ... it makes me see them as ahuman , not those who acting in movies or political cases ! and the most important thing i realise it is they are intersted in most things which we intersted it , but ! in different way !
if we just understand that ! we all are humans , created from one soul . no one born better than others ! if we stopt judge books from its covers , if we stopped thinking in steretypes ! if we treat with each other according to human's values , i think every thing will doing well.

ELRC ... STEP ON THE ROAD

The English language resource center ( ELRC ) is the english center opened in Al- azhar uniersity in Cairo to teach english for assistant staff members who haven't copmlate their doctorate yet . it is some kind of coopration between Al-azhar university and american empassy in Cairo . it is opened since 4 years now . and as amember of the center for my 2nd year it was very good opportunity for me to learn new kinds of teaching and meeting success people from different places .
at the beganing of open the center , there was a report in Al- ahram weekely which hae some people talked about the center as apart of conspiracy theories ! it wasn't surprise me ! we as a Egtption fond of talking about conspiracy theories ! that's make us Look at everything that comes from the West this image . iam n't going to deny the idea complately but pot in your mind this question : what is the wrong of having good education from appropriate teachers - what ever the place which they come from - to adult people ?
i think the answer will be ( no problems ) specially with the idea which mentioned in the prophet's (saw) says: Wisdom is the goal of the believer wherever he found it .
ok ! can you add to your mind anew idea ! which is most american people hates wars and want to make anew relationship whith others ! i notice it from the people who i met him at the center .
i think thats our chance now to make mutual understanding between Islam and west and that is our responsibility for ourseles and our children .
