The Times We are In

1. Based on the readings or Tweets on Twitter I would have to say both Teleological and Stellar times are being used. My reason for Teleological time is mostly that the postings had to do with individuals different time of day which lead to the end of their day. It was chronological for the most part. It reflected what they did at that present time and what they were doing at the latter time of the day. For the Stellar time, being that most of us are students our lives interwine through school and our classes and you might also be able to relate to the posting that were there. At one point i was really affected by something that one of my peers wrote. The posting dealt with women and money, at first reading i got annoyed at the fact that men would think of women in that manner. Later i wondered to myself what did that individual mean by the posting up to this day i have not gotten any clarity and it. Other postings stirred emotions of confusion, acceptance, empathy (at one point). An anticipated thing that happended was Twitter itself which set me off for a while. It is not a part of my daily activities or routine of doing things and it was hard to incorporate something that was worthless to me. A fear came over me as i am getting more into the business/career field and i have heard stories of how twitter and other networking sites have cause individuals to loose their jobs or even not get hired. This made me very uneasy whenever i had to post anything. I watched everything that i did with such care as to not taint who i am as a person.

2. In the readings of 1001 Nights I recognized initially when the "Tale of the Bull and the Ass" started i found myself wondering what happened. Before in the reading everything was in one specific time period and then here we are somewhere else, speaking about "Bull and Ass" After reading much more i recognized that it was simply that the story had a meaning to it. At the moment the father was trying to convince his daughter not to go through with her plan of going to King Shahryar's chamber. I found myself lost in what time they were in as i was constantly thinking it was all together. In the readings i would have to say that it depicts two times, Teleological and Stellar. In terms of Stellar the reading does affect life for an individual whether it is good or bad. The daughter Shahrazad actually took the story and used it to propel her into the kings chambers. My reason for saying Teleological time, because it leads up to a purpose whether known from beginning or at the end. Each reading had a purpose to cause one to rethink the reason the wanted to do something or cease a situation bound to happen.

3. In the Arabic culture I have read and gotten the opportunity to notice that they are very big on loyalty and respect. Based on the reading from 1001 Nights, it all started from a lack of loyalty in ones marriage. I find that if the readings were truly from Arabic Culture they depicted it wrongly but nevertheless we will find truth in knowing that Arabics have been know for their loyaltys. Women are also seen as respectful beings, one should honor then and vice versa. If these readings were to be shown in the Islamic countries i believe that it would be looked up with scorn at it misrepresent who they are on many levels.
