The Hymen Reconstruction In Egypt
The hymen reconstruction surgery in Egypt
My talk show is mainly about the spread of the hymen surgery in Egypt and how people like Mr. Waleed Sokkar-an account executive at Tarek Nour advertising agency-disagrees with it very much. In comparison to miss Mai el Sebaai who finds it acceptable at times when for example a girl is raped.
My Guests: Mr. Waleed Sokkar-an account executive at Tarek Nour advertising agency.
Miss Mai El Sebae- Assistant director in the Egyptian Television.
Question 1: Mr. Waleed Sokkar:
What is your opinion about replacing the hymen in Egypt?
Question 2: Mr. Waleed Sokkar:
If you were put in the same situation what would you do?
Question 3: Mr. Waleed Sokkar:
How could you make the situation of premarital sex better?
Question 4: Miss Mai El Sebae:
Are you OK with making that hymen issue to the public and can be used by any one?
Question 5: Mr. Waleed Sokkar:
Do you have any suggestion for making this situation better?
Question 6: Mr. Waleed Sokkar:
Do you think Egyptian guys think the same way as you think that replacing the hymen is unethical?

Fnal Script
This is How JRMC Students End up Being Honorable Society Members

6th December, 2009
Lead in: Today, the history of AUC is remembered by the great effect it brought on its mass communication students. Our reporter Aya El Abnoudy has more.
MUSIC ( Fade out)
Looking through the glass they see a crowded round about known as Tahrir square, with the sun in their eyes; many thoughts pass through their minds. Quickly they exit their cars and rush through the American University’s Cairo downtown campus gates. This is where it all started. walking through its doors for the first time timid, hesitant, but somehow still full of hope.
Students come in two kinds, the kind that go into those gates with the mere hope of simply graduating. Maybe ending up with a career they like or one that is far dissimilar to their major even dreams.
Ultimately sometimes end up feeling like “nobody” s in the bigger picture of societal productivity. The other kind of students are initially similar yet develop very differently. From day one they strive to become better in everything they do, succeeding becomes a virtue, recognition a means, remembrance an end to making society a better haven. Those are not the figures destined for greatness, those are the figures who carved their futures by writing their own destiny.
The difference between both attitudes can be accounted to several reasons. Some of those are the lack of ambition, with no positive expectations from their college experience. Those are the ones who block out the education they receive and simply refuse to learn. whilst a select few actually want to do something influential with their lives.
Falling into the kind of students who go to college for the sake of graduating, is the quality of just graduating to get a typical job, creating a normal family, and working to support themselves and no one else. However, the other kind of students, the ones with hopes and dreams, are the ones who can not wait to graduate, in order to do something for those who taught and educated them and for the others who can not be educated at all. Also, you see them staying up all night, working hard, staying strong feeling like the world is collapsing around them; those are the ones who end up enjoying life. They even used to learn personal traits from their teachers as Ms. Badra explains,

Back in the day, only 3 segments of Mass communication were offered. First was journalism, second was broadcasting in addition to Integrated marketing communication. Students who really worked hard flourished and proved themselves not only in university but among the whole society.
AUC is the only university in Egypt that requires its Mass communication students to take critical, scientific thinking as well as psychology and many other diverse courses throughout their years in AUC. These courses; if taken good advantage of , will leave a strong effect on the long run in terms of the students’ careers and also their personal lives.
Let me present to you a few examples of some of those people who walked through the same gates of AUC, with the typical negative attitude of the freshmen arriving each year, but worked to help those incapable of helping themselves. Those students are now the ever-flourishing figures that graduated from the Mass communication and now play significant roles in the daily lives of the Egyptians and the Arab world.
An example of success is Shaimaa Badra, who states how AUC and Mass Communication taught her a lot.
“Sound Bite: Critical thinking SB”
As mentioned in the AUC website, the mass communication department is recognized throughout the whole world by producing amazing and well-rounded graduates who play a major role of paramount importance in developing the region's print, advertising and broadcasting. Not only that, The Kamal Adham Center for Journalism Training and Research offers practical work for the undergraduates .

It also gives courses to improve the students editing skills, studio management and electronic newsgathering. Another example of that successes is an IMC graduate Hazem Nasr,
Sound bite: Mr. Hazem
Communication and media arts cover a broad spectrum of critical perspectives on the media and introduces a range of contemporary media practices. The department's highly competitive integrated marketing communication major is a cross-disciplinary program that blends marketing education with advertising and graphic design skills.
With all the help and support AUC offers its hard working students, they finish university with good experience. It has been said as well that the Mass Communication graduates of AUC are very qualified in comparison to other students in the region to the extent that many of those graduates hold high positions internationally and locally.
Sound bite: Mrs. Shaimaa
Some graduates are now working in the news field in places like “CNN, The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, NBC, and Reuters, as well as playing key roles in the region's growing transnational media organizations, such as Al Jazeera, MBC, Dubai's Al Arabiya, Radio Sawa, Nile TV, MSNBC in Arabic and CNN Arabia“. Many of them helped in flourishing important newspapers in the region, such as Al Sharq Al Awsat, The Middle East Times, Al Ahram and Al Ahram Weekly. Alums include CNN's White House correspondent Suzanne Malveaux, commentator and analyst Mona Eltahawy, senior producer and anchorman for CNBC Arabia Sami Zeidan and managing editor of Alam Al-Youm Lamees El Hadidy.
The Mass Communication program at AUC has also produced an influential generation of media researchers and professionals at universities.
Sound bite: Mr. Hazem
Thus, it is clear that the AUC influences the way of thinking and its students positively especially those ambition hard working ones. Mrs Badra mentioned that it’s because of the AUC she is where she is today

And when you see those students going out of those gates for the last time, you would find it hard to believe they were the same timid, hesitant individuals in the crowd, who are now our cultural leaders, they are our future.

Religions of the world
Hinduism and Buddhism are two very influential religions, though both are not very widespread throughout the world. Both affect each other in many ways and have had many effects on India. India’s culture is primarily based on the regimes of both religions. Hinduism is the oldest and most fundamental religion in India and Buddhism is a religion solely based on just one idea: the end of suffering. Both religions are vastly respected and are subjects of deep interest throughout the countries who do not practice them. Hinduism and Buddhism can be compared and contrasted in means of their prime beliefs, routines and rituals.
Even though both religions arise from identical cultural and philosophical backgrounds. Hinduism and Buddhism were both established in India, so why are they both so diverse? There are many distinctions between both religions that depict the ways of life and the actions a Hindu or Buddhist makes.
Guatam Buddha, the founder of Buddhism was born and raised as a Hindu; this shows that the origin of Buddhism is subsequent to that of Hinduism.
The ideas Guatam Buddha achieved were all following Hindu threads however, the few yet large differences separate both Hinduism and Buddhism from each other; making two separate, unique religions. A similarity both religions share is the fact that they are both polytheistic, like many other ancient religions. Another correspondence between both religions is the fact that they believe in the idea of ‘Samsara’, meaning ‘the cycle of birth and rebirth’.
A major difference between both Hinduism and Buddhism is the fact that Hinduism is based on a series of things you should manage to complete throughout your life, and Buddhism is like a guideline for how people should live their lives in order to reach the stage of enlightenment. Another imperative difference is that Hindus aim to accomplish redemption but Buddhists believe that their main goal is to achieve nirvana during their afterlife.
Hindus follow laws called the laws of Manu, those laws convey Karma. Manu expressed his religious views very clearly in a legal code. The big picture that Karma comes to show is how there are effects or consequences for certain actions, this makes Hindus strive to be better in order to gain good karma. Karma is also existent in Buddhism. A difference between both religions is the caste system, a commonly known social structure in India. Hindus believe that people are more important than others, and the caste system is a social hierarchy; because of this hierarchy, no intermarriage between different castes is allowed, however, Buddhists have no such beliefs.
Both religions must follow certain rituals during and before marriage. Those rituals are formed and created by the people attending the wedding ceremony with a huge focus on the close family and parents of the bride and groom. The rituals are made in order to please the gods watching them, and fire is set so the wedding vows can be carried to the Gods.
A parallel aspect between both religions is their solid belief in non-violence. Buddhists must follow five precepts in their lives, and the first of those being that they should avoid harming or killing any living thing. Violence is never mentioned or used as a way of resolving conflict or ending differences in the Buddhist religion or scripts. Both Hindus and Buddhists believe that non-violence is the most vital virtue of all.
