Through His incarnation, “Christ revealed himself as the perfect communicator”. Human history and all human relationship exist within the frame work established by this self-communication of God in Christ. Christ showed us that “communication is more than the expression of ideas and the indication of emotion; at its most profound level, it is the giving of self in love”. Christ’s message enables us to build up relationships based on a proper understanding and true interpretation of man, which contributes to the common good. Therefore, the practitioners of public relations are called to respect and contribute to the integral development of the person which embraces the cultural, transcendent and religious dimensions of man and society.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;I think, in the present society, what needed is a ‘person-centered’ public relations which considers man as an end in itself, respecting his dignity. A person cannot be treated as a commercial good because he is an end in himself, not a means to the ends of others. The inviolable dignity of the human person derives from the fact that he is created in the image and likeness of God and is called to a communion with God. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"   style="mso-bidi-line-height:150%;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;As a person, with reason and free will, he is innately imbued with the natural moral law, which is the guide of his conduct and the source of his obligations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt; Public relations becomes effective and genuine when it respect the inherent capacity of human beings, the freedom of will. It is this inherent capacity that enables man to subordinate himself to the common good. “Man’s capacity for love depends on his willingness consciously to seek a good together with others, and to subordinate himself to that good for the sake of others, or to others for the sake of that good”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"   style="mso-bidi-line-height:150%;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Man’s dignity comes from the God who created him and no one can take that away from him. It demands the absolute respect for the right to life of the individual. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Respect is perhaps the most important element in any successful long-term relationship and that is what, a public relations practitioner should develop with the clients. As it is said, respect is not given, it’s earned. Respect is not dependence or considering oneself at the mercy of the other. It is admitting other’s dignity and position in society together with one’s responsibilities towards the other. This understanding and awareness lead the public relations practitioners to find common grounds of cooperation in their profession. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3051386384212813351-6757233929067599059?l=ilcristiano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/feeds/6757233929067599059/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/07/christian-view-of-public-relations.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/6757233929067599059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/6757233929067599059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/07/christian-view-of-public-relations.html' title='A Christian View of Public Relations'/><author><name>Shyju Parackal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18218171813093653951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1sCny7otyI/AAAAAAAAAtk/FVp4aJFx-LI/S220/IMG_1026.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/TD2jlkUlnTI/AAAAAAAAAuc/eiI8_GPbL8M/s72-c/218a7b8a9a224b704f24d4c5260debe1.wix_mp.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051386384212813351.post-388627003307075328</id><published>2010-07-14T13:39:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-07-14T13:41:30.626+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Public Relations</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/TD2iTEDKC5I/AAAAAAAAAuU/ecaS0f19qyI/s1600/publicrelations.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 314px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/TD2iTEDKC5I/AAAAAAAAAuU/ecaS0f19qyI/s320/publicrelations.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493725568850070418" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;Public relations is coming of age around the world. In the 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; century, the United States took the lead in defining its practice and formalizing its structure. But in the new millennium, public relations has blossomed into a global phenomenon spanning countries with vastly different cultures, economic and political systems, and levels of development. The numerous public relations agencies and organizations that have sprung up around the world in the past few years are proofs of its recognition and formalization in all continents. Public relations serves a variety of institutions in society such as business, trade unions, government agencies, voluntary associations, foundations, hospitals, educational and religious institutions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;For the effectiveness of an organization, the department of communication plays a very important role. It involves creating, establishing, and maintaining communication linkages between an organization and its various publics in order to retain mutually beneficial relationships. As Seitel states, “for an organization, every phone call, every letter, every face-to-face encounter is a public relations……..The chief CEO who thunders, ‘I don’t need public relations!’ is a fool. He or she doesn’t have a choice. Every organization has public relations, whether it wants it or not”. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;In a global society, characterized by various types and techniques of communication, public relations renders an organization more credible and transparent by managing, controlling, or influencing people's perceptions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;An organization, especially when it is profitable, should give the due importance to its business affairs; at the same time it should not forget that it deals with publics formed of human persons. Analyzing the writing of some of the experts in the field of public relations, we could realize that they have a functional and commercial approach to public relations. Many of them ignore the ethical issues involved in the practice of public relations. They don’t propose a public relations which respect the dignity and freedom of human person. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;But public relations is more than a business. It is a relationship based on dialogue and truth. Dialogue is considered to be the most ethical form of communication in that the truth of an issue had an opportunity to be heard. “Dialogic communication requires the parties involved to be willing to negotiate in order to reach a position that is mutually acceptable. By communicating back and forth in a symmetrical manner, both parties are able to construct deeper understanding of the other’s position and discover ‘common ground’ by not immediately rejecting the position and increasing empathy for each other”. Public relations professionals must have credibility as one of the foundations of their work. To be credible and to achieve respect, they must be open and honest. Public relations must be the conscience of the organization and the standard bearer for truth. Public relations practitioners, therefore, should never compromise their values by covering up the truth.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Pope the John Paul II, in his message for the 37&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; World Communication Day says, “the fundamental moral requirement of all communication is respect for and service of truth. Freedom to seek and speak what is true is essential to human communication. Not only in relations to facts and information but also, and especially, regarding the nature and destiny of human person, regarding society and the common good, regarding our relationship with God”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3051386384212813351-388627003307075328?l=ilcristiano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/feeds/388627003307075328/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/07/public-relations.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/388627003307075328'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/388627003307075328'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/07/public-relations.html' title='Public Relations'/><author><name>Shyju Parackal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18218171813093653951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1sCny7otyI/AAAAAAAAAtk/FVp4aJFx-LI/S220/IMG_1026.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/TD2iTEDKC5I/AAAAAAAAAuU/ecaS0f19qyI/s72-c/publicrelations.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051386384212813351.post-3068544399197645889</id><published>2010-02-10T21:39:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-02-10T21:41:15.128+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Per Essere Testimoni Digitali.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S3MZ5WkIn6I/AAAAAAAAAuM/hp0r1BhoV48/s1600-h/web-testimoni-digitali.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 249px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S3MZ5WkIn6I/AAAAAAAAAuM/hp0r1BhoV48/s320/web-testimoni-digitali.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436717648266698658" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Nella lotta contro il male, San paolo ci esorta così,“State dunque ben fermi, cinti i fianchi con la verità, rivestiti con la corazza della giustizia, e avendo come calzatura ai piedi lo zelo per propagare il vangelo della pace. Tenete sempre in mano lo scudo della fede, con il quale potrete spegnere tutti i dardi infuocati del maligno; prendete anche l'elmo della salvezza e la spada dello Spirito, cioè la parola di Dio (Ef 6,14-16)”. Sono già passati due mille anni. Il mondo è molto cambiato. Viviamo in mondo digitale, per essere più preciso in un cyber mondo. Inoltre queste armature spirituali menzionate da San Paolo, abbiamo bisogno i mezzi potenti della comunicazione per far penetrare il messaggio di Cristo alla gente. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Nel messaggio per la XLVI giornata mondiale delle Comunicazioni Sociali, Il papa afferma la stessa cosa. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Il titolo del messaggio è esplicito: &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;"Il sacerdote e la pastorale nel mondo digitale: i nuovi media al servizio della Parola". In esso viene preso atto dell’ormai definitivo imporsi della comunicazione in rete, del suo integrarsi con le altre forme di trasmissione digitale, del suo essere modo di espressione privilegiata del mondo giovanile, delle grandi opportunità di collegamento che tutto ciò offre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:Tahoma;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Tutto questo, d’altronde, costituisce una vera e propria sfida sul piano pastorale. Compito primario del sacerdote è, infatti, quello di "annunciare Cristo, la Parola di Dio fatta carne". E ciò ha sempre comportato, da San Paolo in poi, la necessità di un utilizzo consapevole e adeguato delle modalità comunicative a disposizione. Oggi però quest’annuncio può essere compiuto in forme inedite. Il messaggio, anzi, parla di una "storia nuova", al cui inizio viene a trovarsi il sacerdote del nostro tempo. Infatti, "quanto più le moderne tecnologie creeranno relazioni sempre più intense e il mondo digitale amplierà i suoi confini, tanto più egli sarà chiamato a occuparsene pastoralmente, moltiplicando il proprio impegno, per porre i media al servizio della Parola".&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"  style="font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:Tahoma;"&gt;In particolare, ciò che caratterizza questa "storia nuova" è il mutamento dell’idea di "universalità" che l’utilizzo delle nuove tecnologie comporta e, di conseguenza, il mutamento del concetto stesso di "cattolicità". Nel mondo digitale, ormai, tutti siamo connessi con tutti. Almeno virtualmente. Il problema primario, dunque, non è più quello di raggiungere le persone alle quali annunciare il Vangelo, ma è quello di riuscire a farsi ascoltare.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3051386384212813351-3068544399197645889?l=ilcristiano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/feeds/3068544399197645889/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/02/per-essere-testimoni-digitali.html#comment-form' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/3068544399197645889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/3068544399197645889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/02/per-essere-testimoni-digitali.html' title='Per Essere Testimoni Digitali.'/><author><name>Shyju Parackal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18218171813093653951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1sCny7otyI/AAAAAAAAAtk/FVp4aJFx-LI/S220/IMG_1026.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S3MZ5WkIn6I/AAAAAAAAAuM/hp0r1BhoV48/s72-c/web-testimoni-digitali.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051386384212813351.post-7739900711622898387</id><published>2010-01-24T15:13:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-24T15:14:25.391+01:00</updated><title type='text'>AVE  SCIOPERO.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1xVuOeZ2pI/AAAAAAAAAuE/dSLHrvYBzhk/s1600-h/oggi-sciopero2.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1xVuOeZ2pI/AAAAAAAAAuE/dSLHrvYBzhk/s320/oggi-sciopero2.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430309503349938834" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;Abbiamo avuto uno sciopero, anche due giorni fa.

In Italia, è un fenomeno quasi settimanale , cioè siamo in una situazione nella quale non passa una settimana senza sciopero. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;Uno dei successi principali che i movimenti dei lavoratori hanno realizzato dalla rivoluzione industriale in poi è sicuramente il&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="line-height:115%; Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:IT; mso-bidi-font-weight:bold;mso-bidi-font-style:italicfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;diritto allo sciopero&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="line-height:115%; Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;. Quel diritto di astenersi dal lavoro per protestare e rivendicare, per tutelare condizioni di lavoro, spettanze, remunerazione. D'altro canto, come ogni conquista di libertà si tratta di uno strumento, oserei dire,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="line-height: 115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;senza difese &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="line-height:115%; Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;nel senso che chiunque può impossessarsene ricorrendovi in maniera arbitraria e senza valide motivazioni. Questo modus operandi ha costretto alcuni paesi (e tra cui l'Italia) ad adottare un&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="line-height: 115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;Codice di Autoregolamentazione &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="line-height:115%; Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;per l'esercizio del diritto allo sciopero. Il quale appunto resta un diritto e il lavoratore può decidere di esercitarlo o meno sulla base di sue motivazioni.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;Lo sciopero è giustificabile in quando c’ è una causa giusta. Infatti, è un strumento potente. La storia ci ricorda che a volte lo sciopero diventa indispensabile per stabilire la giustizia. In questo senso, lo sciopero condotta da Mahatma Gandhi per l’indipendenza dell’India, è lodabile. Gandhi lo chiamava “Satyagraha”. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;La parola “Satyagraha”, che proviene da Sanscrito &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;significa “fermezza della verità”. Perciò per Gandhi lo sciopero era strettamente collegato con la verità. Era una lotta nonviolenta basata sulla verità contro ogni ingiustizia. Ma nella società odierna lo sciopero sta perdendo il suo vero spirito. A volte &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;lo sciopero conduce alla violenza; diventa un’occasione della vendetta. Non possiamo scordare che tante volte lo sciopero mette in difficoltà la vita della gente normale. Per una convivenza pacifica, bisogna riconoscere che la propria libertà ha un limite laddove viene ad intaccare la libertà altrui. Nella lotta per i diritti, non dobbiamo dimenticare i nostri doveri. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3051386384212813351-7739900711622898387?l=ilcristiano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/feeds/7739900711622898387/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/01/ave-sciopero.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/7739900711622898387'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/7739900711622898387'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/01/ave-sciopero.html' title='AVE  SCIOPERO.'/><author><name>Shyju Parackal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18218171813093653951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1sCny7otyI/AAAAAAAAAtk/FVp4aJFx-LI/S220/IMG_1026.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1xVuOeZ2pI/AAAAAAAAAuE/dSLHrvYBzhk/s72-c/oggi-sciopero2.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051386384212813351.post-4698464914944959583</id><published>2010-01-22T23:45:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-22T23:50:22.529+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Good bye ai Paparazzi.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1orpr9UftI/AAAAAAAAAtU/k7SbTgefRY8/s1600-h/socha+paparazzi.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1orpr9UftI/AAAAAAAAAtU/k7SbTgefRY8/s320/socha+paparazzi.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429700295923105490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:6.5pt;margin-left:0in; text-align:justify;line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"  style="font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:Arial;"&gt;Nel mese scorso, la Regina Elisabetta ha chiesto ai media britannici di fermare la pubblicazione di fotografie dei membri della famiglia reale sorpresi in momenti privati della loro vita dai paparazzi. Il portavoce del Principe Carlo ha detto che &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;''I membri della famiglia reale ritengono di aver diritto alla privacy nelle loro attività quotidiane”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"  style="font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:Arial;"&gt;Ci voleva una ex star di Hollywood al governo per mettere un freno legislativo ai paparazzi. Il governatore della California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, ha firmato una legge che rafforzerà la protezione della privacy delle celebrità, imponendo dei forti limiti ai fotografi a caccia di scoop. L'atto permetterà infatti di denunciare i mezzi di comunicazione che compreranno e utilizzeranno per primi materiale che viola la privacy dei vip.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:Arial;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" line-height: normal; font-family:Georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%; font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:Arial;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;La gente ama gossip; in quando riguarda le celebrità &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;ama di più. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;In qualche senso siamo troppo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;"interessarsi" delle vicende private delle persone che conosce. I media cercano di sfruttare questa debolezza umana. In conseguenza la vita privata delle persone, tante volte persone famose, diventa un “public show”. Nel caso di paparazzi e stampa scandalistica, contano molto poco le leggi. Capite che quando si parla di sotterfugi al limite della legalità pur di rubare un’immagine, a niente servono norme e divieti. Il diritto di cronaca ed il diritto alla privacy sono sempre stati in conflitto e quando un legislatore o un giudice diventa troppo rigido o intransigente, allora si arriva allo scontro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align: justify;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" line-height: normal; font-family:Georgia, serif;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:TimesNewRomanPSMT;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Il Parlamento britannico nel 1972 nominò una commissione parlamentare,“The Royal Committee on Privacy”, allo scopo di redigere una proposta di legge a protezione della vita privata1. La proposta di legge fu respinta dalla camera ed il presidente della commissione scrisse pubblicamente: “Il progetto è fallito perché io sono stato incapace di stabilire una distinzione netta fra ciò che il pubblico ha diritto di conoscere e ciò che ognuno ha diritto di tenere per sé”. Da quel momento in poi i conflitti sulla privacy si decidono in sede giudiziaria. La situazione in Italia è simile. Esiste un ampio e ricco dibattito dottrinale sul diritto alla riservatezza &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;che non è arrivato però al riconoscimento di un diritto generale alla riservatezza. Recentemente si è stabilita legalmente una garanzia della privacy personale nel controllo dei dati automatizzati, sia sugli archivi privati che pubblici: Legge 675 di 31 dicembre del 1996 di &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height: 115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-bidi- mso-ansi-language:IT;mso-bidi-font-style:italicfont-family:TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;tutela&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;delle&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;persone&lt;i&gt; e di &lt;/i&gt;altri&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;soggetti&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style=" line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:TimesNewRomanPSMT;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language:IT;mso-bidi-font-style:italicfont-family:TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;rispetto al trattamento dei dati personali&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style=" line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:TimesNewRomanPSMT;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align: justify;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:TimesNewRomanPSMT;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3051386384212813351-4698464914944959583?l=ilcristiano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/feeds/4698464914944959583/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/01/good-bye-ai-paparazzi.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/4698464914944959583'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/4698464914944959583'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/01/good-bye-ai-paparazzi.html' title='Good bye ai Paparazzi.'/><author><name>Shyju Parackal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18218171813093653951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1sCny7otyI/AAAAAAAAAtk/FVp4aJFx-LI/S220/IMG_1026.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1orpr9UftI/AAAAAAAAAtU/k7SbTgefRY8/s72-c/socha+paparazzi.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051386384212813351.post-3605318194748976613</id><published>2010-01-20T21:56:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-20T21:58:09.310+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The Priest Is Not His Own.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1duWUKQIjI/AAAAAAAAAtM/ppekecXQzXg/s1600-h/priest...jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1duWUKQIjI/AAAAAAAAAtM/ppekecXQzXg/s320/priest...jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428929205466309170" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; text-align:justify;mso-line-height-alt:10.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style=" font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-Times New Roman&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;I think almost everyone of has heard about the famous book of Archbishop Fulton Sheen “The Priest Is Not His Own”. Considering Benedict XVI’s “Year of the Priest”, it is quite opportune to think about the priesthood. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;The priesthood is more than a job; it is a special call to holiness through sacrificial love and service to others and the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-Times New Roman&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;priest is the man who acts &lt;i&gt;in the Person of Christ.&lt;/i&gt; The anthropology of priesthood must be discovered, and it is that of Christ.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; text-align:justify;mso-line-height-alt:10.0pt"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-style:italicfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;“The priesthood is the love of the heart of Jesus&lt;i&gt;”,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;the saintly Curé of Ars would often say. “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;A priest forever”;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;these three words speak tellingly of the priesthood and the life led by those called to it. A priest’s duties continue every hour of his life, both waking and sleeping: he serves others in the sacraments, in daily life, and even when on vacation. He should devote his life to the lives of others. Ordination affects the soul of a priest forever — through this life and the next. The priesthood, like parenting, is a vocation — not a job. Parents guide their children, priests guide their parishioners. Parents feed their children materially, priests feed their parishioners spiritually. Parents love their children, priests love their parishioners. The essence of both roles lies in serving others.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; text-align:justify;mso-line-height-alt:10.0pt"&gt;&lt;span style=" Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;The sacrifice of the Eucharist is considered the life source of the priesthood. A priest’s daily proximity to Christ’s sacrifice on the cross through the sacrifice of the Eucharist allows him to observe and imitate Christ more closely than is possible for the laity. Priests are called to a closer communion with this sacred mystery of Christ’s Body and Blood. In his service to others, a priest should “take the Mass with him into his work”. &lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Each and every priest is ordained to make Christ manifest and present in the local community. But each and every priest is also a human being with different talents, different strengths, different weaknesses, and different temperaments. What the priest must do is clear: he must make Christ alive and present in the lives of His faithful ones. How he does that is as varied as the number of parishes in the Church. Pray that God keeps all of His priests under His watchful eye, and, as St. Basil prays in his liturgy, "...let none of us who stand about Thy Holy Altar be put to confusion..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3051386384212813351-3605318194748976613?l=ilcristiano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/feeds/3605318194748976613/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/01/priest-is-not-his-own_20.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/3605318194748976613'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/3605318194748976613'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/01/priest-is-not-his-own_20.html' title='The Priest Is Not His Own.'/><author><name>Shyju Parackal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18218171813093653951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1sCny7otyI/AAAAAAAAAtk/FVp4aJFx-LI/S220/IMG_1026.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1duWUKQIjI/AAAAAAAAAtM/ppekecXQzXg/s72-c/priest...jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051386384212813351.post-5646522466433312502</id><published>2010-01-17T23:40:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-17T23:43:03.551+01:00</updated><title type='text'>India.....Incredibile....</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1OScS3Oc_I/AAAAAAAAAs8/mbp2VDQcG1s/s1600-h/india.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 210px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1OScS3Oc_I/AAAAAAAAAs8/mbp2VDQcG1s/s320/india.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427842990709044210" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; text-align:justify;mso-line-height-alt:10.0pt"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:#333333;"&gt;Quando parlo della mia cultura, io mi commuovo. Per me, la cultura è così cara, come mia mamma. È l’insieme dei miei costumi,credenze,atteggiamenti,valori, e ideali. È l’insieme del mio patrimonio spirituale e temporale.  È l’ambiente nella quale sono nato, sono cresciuto. È l’ambiente nella quale, ho imparato a fare ogni cosa,ogni cosa della vita. La cultura indiana è profondamente religiosa. La chiesa o il tempio è il luogo centrale della vita. Ogni giorno, mia mamma mi faceva alzare presto nella mattina e andare alla Chiesa, prima che vado alla scuola. Nella scuola c’è un contesto multi-religioso. È la diversità nell’unità. Induisti,Cristiani,Musulmani, Buddisti, Jainisti, tutti convivono a braccetto da secoli. Avevo amici induisti e musulmani. Per il natale e la pasqua loro venivano a casa mia. Io spesso andavo a loro festa.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; text-align:justify;mso-line-height-alt:10.0pt"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:#333333;"&gt;Nella nostra cultura &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="font-family: &amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt; la musica accompagna e avvolge come in un bozzolo tutta la vita dell'uomo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:#333333;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"    style="font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;Mentre nel nord è diffuso lo stile Hindustano, nel sud si è sviluppata la forma conosciuta come Carnatica.

La danza è sempre stata forma di devozione ed espressione di emozione e sentimenti, nata da pulsioni religiose e basata soprattutto sulla ricca tradizione indù.Se pensate che la cucina indiana si riassumi al riso, al curry e al chutney,al chapati, sarete piacevolmente sorpresi.

Papa Benedetto XVI anche cerca il dialogo, ha condannato varie volte l’olocausto ha sviluppato una dialettica del confronto basata sulla ricerca degli elementi che uniscono. Ma a volte &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:Arial;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;la via tracciata dal papa Benedetto XVI nel dialogo con l'ebraismo non è da tutti accettata.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;lo scorso novembre, in una lettera del Papa indirizzata al senatore Marcello Pera e posta come introduzione del suo saggio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height: 115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height: 115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Perché dobbiamo dirci cristiani&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;, il papa Benedetto XVI afferma che “un dialogo interreligioso nel senso stretto della parola non è possibile”, perché condurrebbe a “mettere tra parentesi la propria fede”. Tale posizione è stata sottoscritta, un po’ a sorpresa, anche dal rabbino capo di Roma, Riccardo Di Segni. “Le parole del Pontefice vanno interpretate in modo adeguato”, precisa Coda. “Se "dialogo interreligioso" significa mettere tra parentesi la propria identità religiosa, non è possibile; ma se avviene a partire dalla propria identità, con una sincera apertura verso l’altro, non solo è possibile, ma oggi più che mai necessario”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Durante la sua visita il papa ha cercato di ribadire gli elementi in comune tra cristiani e ebrei.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%; font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:Arial;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt; Lui ha indicato un cammino di collaborazione anche su temi concreti come la difesa dell'ambiente", ha sottolineato lo storico della matematica. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%; Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Il papa ha invitato tutti &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%; font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:Arial;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;a proteggere &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;la vita, contro ogni ingiustizia e sopruso, riconoscendo il valore di ogni persona umana, creata a immagine e somiglianza di Dio. Per il Pontefice, ebrei e cristiani debbono testimoniare insieme che "la famiglia continua ad essere la cellula essenziale della società e il contesto di base in cui si imparano e si esercitano le virtù umane e' un prezioso servizio da offrire per la costruzione di un mondo dal volto più umano".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;

Dagli Usa, il Pentagono ha inviato navi e personale di sicurezza: la portaerei Carl Vinson è attesa giovedì al largo delle coste di Haiti e altre navi della Marina americana sono in viaggio. Inoltre una squadra di 30 persone, che comprende ingegneri dell’esercito, è partita su aerei C-130 con personale dell’ambasciata, di Haiti, delle Nazioni Unite e i responsabili internazionali per valutare la situazione e facilitare il sostegno militare. Gli Stati Uniti prenderanno il controllo dello spazio aereo di Haiti e gestiranno l'aeroporto di Port-au-Prince, per i voli che faranno la spola da Miami portando aiuti e personale umanitario.&lt;/span&gt; Il papa Benedetto XVI ha fatto appello alla generosità di tutti e ha sollecitato il sostegno della comunità internazionale.&lt;/span&gt; Sul sisma ad Haiti è intervenuto anche il presidente Usa Barack Obama che ha detto che Haiti avrà il pieno sostegno degli Stati Uniti per l'aiuto alle vittime.&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;letter-spacing: -.5pt;mso-ansi-language:IT;mso-bidi-font-weight:boldfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%; Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;letter-spacing:-.5pt;mso-ansi-language: IT;mso-bidi-font-weight:boldfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Haiti è&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;letter-spacing: -.5pt;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt; &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold"&gt;il p&lt;/span&gt;aese &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height: 115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%; Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;più povero dell'intero continente Americano. Il reddito annuale pro capite è di appena 1.300 dollari, dato che pone Haiti al 203/o posto tra i 229 paesi del mondo.&lt;/span&gt; La popolazione totale è per il 95 per cento di neri e per il cinque per cento di mulatti e bianchi. Il paese è spesso al centro del passaggio di uragani, che provocano morte e distruzione.&lt;/span&gt; . La disoccupazione colpisce oltre il 60% della popolazione. Gli haitiani sono cattolici per il 70 per cento e protestanti per il 23, ma molto praticato tra le classi popolari è anche il vudù, rituale magico semipagano.&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; letter-spacing:-.5pt;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%; Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3051386384212813351-995445525926852454?l=ilcristiano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/feeds/995445525926852454/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/01/un-appello-alla-solidarieta.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/995445525926852454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/995445525926852454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/01/un-appello-alla-solidarieta.html' title='Un appello alla Solidarietà'/><author><name>Shyju Parackal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18218171813093653951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1sCny7otyI/AAAAAAAAAtk/FVp4aJFx-LI/S220/IMG_1026.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1Ds76TK4MI/AAAAAAAAAss/RkPtbpAx3Pw/s72-c/700_dettaglio2_Terremoto-Haiti1111111111.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051386384212813351.post-2570061753856608318</id><published>2010-01-10T21:32:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2010-01-10T21:38:37.785+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Se vuoi coltivare la pace, custodisci il creato"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S0o6w0VwMuI/AAAAAAAAAsk/5EjgZFbKPxI/s1600-h/valley-kashmir.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 296px; height: 192px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S0o6w0VwMuI/AAAAAAAAAsk/5EjgZFbKPxI/s320/valley-kashmir.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425213311479198434" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"  style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  font-weight: bold; font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;"&gt;"Se vuoi coltivare la pace, custodisci il creato", questa è stato il tema, proposta dal Papa&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" font-weight: normal; font-size:16px;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"  style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  font-weight: bold; font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;"&gt; per la giornata mondiale della pace 2010.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"  style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="  font-weight: bold; font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:15px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" font-weight: normal; font-size:16px;"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"  style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;Non posso dimenticare mai, la bellissima gita che ho fatto a kasmir, stato più a nord dell’India. Le colline verde che baciano il cielo azzurro, la visione delle barche illuminate che galleggiano nei laghi nella sera , &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;i giardini sorprendenti con gli alberi Chinar…. È veramente un paradiso sulla terra con un’abbondanza di bellezza naturali. Per avere una visione migliore, siamo salito alla cima con la funivia. Per un momento sono rimasto veramente stupito, vedendo il mondo affascinante &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;che ci circondava. Ho ringraziato il signore per le sue creature meravigliose. Con la salmista io ho anche ripetuto “&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;I cieli narrano la gloria di Dio&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;e l'opera delle sue mani annunzia il firmamento&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-style:italic;color:black;"&gt;”. Il cielo, il mare, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="SK"   style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;, i monti, le colline, i fiumi, gli uomoni e gli animali&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: IT;mso-bidi-font-style:italicfont-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;…tutti sono l’opera di Dio. Si la natura è veramente un dono di Dio e risplenda il volto di Dio. Attraverso la natura bella, irradiante, accattivante , il signore faccia risplendere il suo volto. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="SK"   style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;Contemplare la bellezza del creato è stimolo a riconoscere l’amore del Creatore, quell’Amore che &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;move il sole e l’altre stelle. Chi sa riconoscere nel cosmo i riflessi del volto invisibile del Creatore, è portato ad avere maggiore amore per le creature, maggiore sensibilità per il loro valore simbolico&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="SK"   style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h1 style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;page-break-after: avoid"&gt;&lt;span lang="SK"    style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:SK;font-weight:normal;mso-bidi-font-style:italicfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Tutto il creato appartiene a Dio e il signore lo ha affidato a noi non per dominarlo, ma per custodirlo. Essendo la creatura più nobile e dignitosa tra le creature, &lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;L’uomo &lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ha il dovere di esercitare un governo responsabile della creazione, custodendola e coltivandola. I diversi fenomeni come i cambiamenti climatici, riscaldamento globale, la desertificazione, l’inquinamento dei fiumi, la perdita della biodiversità sono i temi caldi della nostra riflessione odierna perché loro mettono in pericolo la nostra vita. Ma quale è la vera regione dietro questi fenomeni. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Il tema del degrado ambientale chiama in causa i comportamenti di ognuno di noi. In fatti il nostro egoismo, i nostri modelli di consumo e produzione, il nostro individualismo e menefreghismo che ha causato questa crisi. Bisogna concepire questa crisi come una chiamata alla responsabilità. Come diceva il papa nel suo messaggio per la Giornata mondiale&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;“La crisi ecologica, dunque, offre una storica opportunità per elaborare una risposta collettiva volta a convertire il modello di sviluppo globale in una direzione più rispettosa nei confronti del creato e di uno sviluppo umano integrale, ispirato ai valori propri della carità nella verità.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3051386384212813351-2570061753856608318?l=ilcristiano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/feeds/2570061753856608318/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/01/se-vuoi-coltivare-la-pace-custodisci-il.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/2570061753856608318'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/2570061753856608318'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2010/01/se-vuoi-coltivare-la-pace-custodisci-il.html' title='Se vuoi coltivare la pace, custodisci il creato&quot;'/><author><name>Shyju Parackal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18218171813093653951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1sCny7otyI/AAAAAAAAAtk/FVp4aJFx-LI/S220/IMG_1026.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S0o6w0VwMuI/AAAAAAAAAsk/5EjgZFbKPxI/s72-c/valley-kashmir.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051386384212813351.post-4768233710756234916</id><published>2009-11-28T16:31:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-28T16:33:34.942+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The Violence and Media.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/SxFCsWSgRqI/AAAAAAAAAr8/3pijJVov1MQ/s1600/violence+cartoon2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/SxFCsWSgRqI/AAAAAAAAAr8/3pijJVov1MQ/s320/violence+cartoon2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409177957113546402" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"&gt;The relationship between media representations and real acts of violence is one of the most contentious and hotly debated issues today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-font-family: Arial"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"&gt;Recent surveys reveal an extensive presence of violence in modern media.

Explicit pictures of slow-motion bullets exploding from people's chests, and dead bodies surrounded by pools of blood, are now commonplace fare. Millions of viewers worldwide, many of them children, watch female World Wrestling Entertainment wrestlers try to tear out each other's hair and rip off each other's clothing. And one of the top-selling video games in the world,&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi"&gt;Grand Theft Auto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, is programmed so players can beat prostitutes to death with baseball bats after having sex with them. &lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;The notion of violence as a means of problem solving is reinforced by entertainment in which both villains and heroes resort to violence on a continual basis. The Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA), which has studied violence in television, movies and music videos for a decade, reports that nearly half of all violence is committed by the "good guys." Less than 10 per cent of the TV shows, movies and music videos that were analyzed contextualized the violence or explored its human consequences. The violence was simply presented as justifiable, natural and inevitable -- the most obvious way to solve the problem.&lt;/span&gt; Virtual violence is also readily available on the World Wide Web. Children and young people can download violent lyrics, and visit Web sites that feature violent images and video clips. Much of the violence is also sexual in nature.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family:Arial"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify;mso-line-height-alt:12.0pt"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;"&gt;One of the primary lessons of media education is that media productions are not "windows on reality," whatever their producers might like us to believe. They're deliberate constructions, the result of a series of choices.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;"&gt;It's an eye opener for young people to realize that the main reason for the proliferation of media violence is money. Films chock-a-block with action and violence are easier to sell abroad because they "translate" with less difficulty and jump over cultural barriers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3051386384212813351-4768233710756234916?l=ilcristiano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/feeds/4768233710756234916/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2009/11/violence-and-media.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/4768233710756234916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/4768233710756234916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2009/11/violence-and-media.html' title='The Violence and Media.'/><author><name>Shyju Parackal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18218171813093653951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1sCny7otyI/AAAAAAAAAtk/FVp4aJFx-LI/S220/IMG_1026.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/SxFCsWSgRqI/AAAAAAAAAr8/3pijJVov1MQ/s72-c/violence+cartoon2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051386384212813351.post-8314789309689415013</id><published>2009-11-17T22:42:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-17T22:47:28.808+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Il crocifisso nelle scuole.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/SwMZ6rOp0MI/AAAAAAAAAr0/JTTMXhVWkKg/s1600/pg_scuola_crocifisso_gr.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 252px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/SwMZ6rOp0MI/AAAAAAAAAr0/JTTMXhVWkKg/s320/pg_scuola_crocifisso_gr.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405192473602019522" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype', serif;font-size:6;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" line-height: 21px;font-size:19px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype', serif;font-size:6;"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style=" line-height: 18px;font-size:16px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Due &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;settimane fa, la sentenza della &lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Corte europea dei diritti dell'uomo di Strasburgo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; di togliere il crocifisso dalle scuole, aveva attirato l’attenzione del tutto il mondo. &lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;Il ministro dell'Istruzione Mariastella Gelmini in una nota annunciava che “il governo ha presentato ricorso contro la sentenza della Corte&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt; Il Vaticano ha espresso «stupore e del rammarico» per una sentenza “miope e sbagliata”. Netta la presa di posizione della Cei che boccia la sentenza parlando di “visione parziale e ideologica”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Essendo un &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;indiano che&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;proviene da un contesto multi – religioso, vorrei anche esprimere il mio parere. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Ho studiato in una scuola cattolica e la maggioranza dei compagni della classe, erano induisti. Ce erano anche musulmani. Siccome era una scuola cattolica, c’erano crocifissi o quadri di madonna nelle aule. A volte per curiosità, i miei amici induisti e musulmani, mi rivolgevano domande sul significato della croce. Ma nessuno di loro non ha mai detto che la presenza del crocifisso da noia a loro. Perciò sono rimasto stupito quando ho letto la sentenza della corte che dice “la presenza della croce potrebbe essere&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;fastidioso per i ragazzi che praticano altre religioni.”Non capisco perché gli europei vogliano lasciare un simbolo così ricco, il quale è il patrimonio della loro cultura. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Invece di vedere la croce come un segno di divisione, dobbiamo vederla come un simbolo di amore infinto e sacrifico incondizionato. Dalla mia esperienza, posso dire che, per qualsiasi studente che in grado di ragionare un po’, malgrado della sua religione , il crocifisso è più che un simbolo di contraddizione, è un segno di ispirazione. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Il crocifisso, dichiara una risoluzione recentemente approvata dalla Camera dei Deputati, può considerarsi “il più antico e forte simbolo dell’amore” e, come affermava qualche anno fa una celebre scrittrice laica, è certamente “il segno del dolore umano” e anche “per i non cattolici può essere semplicemente l’immagine di uno che è stato venduto, tradito, martoriato ed è morto sulla croce per amore di Dio e del prossimo”. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3051386384212813351-8314789309689415013?l=ilcristiano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/feeds/8314789309689415013/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2009/11/il-crocifisso-nelle-scuole.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/8314789309689415013'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/8314789309689415013'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2009/11/il-crocifisso-nelle-scuole.html' title='Il crocifisso nelle scuole.'/><author><name>Shyju Parackal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18218171813093653951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1sCny7otyI/AAAAAAAAAtk/FVp4aJFx-LI/S220/IMG_1026.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/SwMZ6rOp0MI/AAAAAAAAAr0/JTTMXhVWkKg/s72-c/pg_scuola_crocifisso_gr.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051386384212813351.post-6922930398542925099</id><published>2009-11-06T21:53:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T21:54:43.585+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Kerala.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/SvSNDoLrUnI/AAAAAAAAArs/6xvxm5OvN-A/s1600-h/Kerala_houseboat.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 210px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/SvSNDoLrUnI/AAAAAAAAArs/6xvxm5OvN-A/s320/Kerala_houseboat.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401096946589586034" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"    style="line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-language: EN-GBfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:14.0pt;color:black;"&gt;In Asia, the Philippines is the only nation with a Christian majority, and South Korea is the only nation in which Christianity is growing. Elsewhere, Christians are a more or less scant minority, in many cases busy resisting persecution, oppression, hostility of every kind. Asia's two giants are emblematic. Not only from China, but also from democratic India the news media constantly report cases of violence against Christians. In recent years, Orissa has been an authentic place of martyrdom. And yet not all of India is like this. There is a region in which Christians are ten times as numerous – 20 percent, as opposed to 2 percent of the national media – and above all live in peace. That region is Kerala. Christianity has extremely ancient roots there, and the Christian imprint is still extraordinary. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"    style="line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-language: EN-GBfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:14.0pt;color:black;"&gt;Kerala is not rich, but it is by far the most educated state in India, with very high levels of education among women as well . It is the state that for many decades has had the most balanced birth rate, fundamentally because all of the girls go to school, and therefore get married later than girls elsewhere. Most of the schools there, of every order and degree, are Christian. Kerala is also the Indian state with the highest level of literacy. Since last year, a weekly edition of "L'Osservatore Romano" has been printed there in the local language, Malayalam. 20,000 copies of it are sold, twice as many as the Italian language edition.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"    style="line-height:115%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-language: EN-GBfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:14.0pt;color:black;"&gt;But what really is the secret of Kerala? What is it that allows this handkerchief of land to remain an oasis of coexistence, despite its exceptions and contradictions? If the Christian, Hindu or Muslim is asked why Kerala has not yet become Orissa, their answer is always the same: "education". The stakes are high: if it is true that the Church plays a prominent role in maintaining the peaceful nature of coexistence in Kerala, to attack its role in education can only weaken the immune system of the region against its fundamentalist opponents. Those who are in power today do not seem to realise this. Probably because they do not understand what the example of Kerala can mean for the future of the whole of India.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"   style="line-height:115%; Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:14.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"   style="line-height:115%;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:14.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3051386384212813351-6922930398542925099?l=ilcristiano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/feeds/6922930398542925099/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2009/11/kerala.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/6922930398542925099'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/6922930398542925099'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2009/11/kerala.html' title='Kerala.'/><author><name>Shyju Parackal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18218171813093653951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1sCny7otyI/AAAAAAAAAtk/FVp4aJFx-LI/S220/IMG_1026.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/SvSNDoLrUnI/AAAAAAAAArs/6xvxm5OvN-A/s72-c/Kerala_houseboat.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051386384212813351.post-3384275855765645503</id><published>2009-11-06T00:54:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T01:05:41.716+01:00</updated><title type='text'>La pubblicità.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/SvNoUIY65lI/AAAAAAAAArk/3I3vvJG8-Ro/s1600-h/pecorepubblicita-vi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 224px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/SvNoUIY65lI/AAAAAAAAArk/3I3vvJG8-Ro/s320/pecorepubblicita-vi.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400775073206036050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:150%;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Tutti conosciamo il fascino a volte occulto della pubblicità. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:150%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;La pubblicità emoziona, innamora, seduce.

Con il termine &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-weight:bold"&gt;pubblicità&lt;/span&gt; si intende quella forma di comunicazione a pagamento, diffusa su iniziativa di operatori economici, che tende in modo intenzionale e sistematico a influenzare gli atteggiamenti e le scelte degli individui in relazione al consumo di beni e all’utilizzo di servizi.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:150%;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;La pubblicità arrivò in televisione italiana il 3 febbraio del 1957, ma una norma della Concessione tra il Ministero delle Poste e la Rai prevedeva che gli spazi pubblicitari non potessero superare il tetto del 5% del tempo di trasmissione totale. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height: 150%;font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;La pubblicità è un ponte fra il prodotto, o il servizio, e il consumatore. Può essere un ponte di pietra o di ferro, romantico o di disegno ultramoderno, sicuro o rischioso, largo o stretto, e così via. La pubblicità non è una strada da percorrere, ma da tracciare. Dice Antonio Machado: non ci sono strade se la strada non si fa camminando.

It's a gripping, complex, and intelligent examination of how media corporations' incestuous relationship with their news subsidiaries can and does subvert the truth. &lt;span class="georgia1"&gt;&lt;span style="Bookman Old Style&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;It is a truth-based drama about the former tobacco industry scientist who blew the whistle on his bosses. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The movie is about telling the truth, and yet at times it seems manipulative itself, as when it presents Wallace confessing his innermost thoughts about his career and reputation. &lt;span class="georgia1"&gt;&lt;span style="Bookman Old Style&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;"&gt;It's about how ``60 Minutes'' had the story but caved into pressure not to run it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#0F0F0F;"&gt; Reduced to a smartass summary, &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic"&gt;The Insider&lt;/span&gt; is just a bunch of white guys talking for two hours and thirty-seven minutes about how truth gets compromised in America.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"   style="line-height:150%;Bookman Old Style&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Mann structures "The Insider" around a masterful series of dreamlike tableaus involving Wigand alone against landscapes suffused with improbable, fluorescent colors. The first half of the film centers on Wigand - his struggles with his conscience, his conflict with his former employers, his difficulty convincing his wife to understand and accept the sacrifices she was being forced to make, and his decision to damn the consequences and go forward. During this part of the movie, Bergman is clearly a supporting character. We see him practicing his golf swing at an ominously empty driving range at night, driving past the rows of white headstones at a military cemetery, sitting alone in a hotel room imagining his daughters playing in the backyard.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"   style="line-height:150%;Bookman Old Style&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Mann's film isn't about the dangers of smoking; it's about the dangers of giant companies sharing a bed with the media — this &lt;i&gt;Insider&lt;/i&gt; blows the whistle on the eroding line between what is "news" and corporate interest. In a medium that so often caters to pat answers and happy endings, &lt;i&gt;The Insider&lt;/i&gt; places demands on the audience's attention and intellect that may put off those looking for a simple-minded cinematic frolic. "The Insider" inhabits a strong social message dealing with the influence of television, reputation, honesty, and so forth. The biggest ethic I think Mann is trying to get across is of modern morality: always do the right thing, follow your conscience, no matter what the cost.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:150%"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"   style="line-height:150%;Bookman Old Style&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3051386384212813351-6512652762066534459?l=ilcristiano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/feeds/6512652762066534459/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2009/10/film-insider-struggle-for-truth.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/6512652762066534459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/6512652762066534459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2009/10/film-insider-struggle-for-truth.html' title='THE FILM INSIDER: A STRUGGLE FOR THE TRUTH.'/><author><name>Shyju Parackal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18218171813093653951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1sCny7otyI/AAAAAAAAAtk/FVp4aJFx-LI/S220/IMG_1026.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/SuXqXQ66UrI/AAAAAAAAArc/uHDEEpsbxyI/s72-c/insider.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051386384212813351.post-2675653123982995341</id><published>2009-10-26T19:16:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-26T19:18:17.764+01:00</updated><title type='text'>“Man’s Search for meaning”; A Beacon of Hope for the Suffering and the Depressed.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/SuXn4IXN5FI/AAAAAAAAArU/RZ3BwsCO8pM/s1600-h/man%27s.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 272px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/SuXn4IXN5FI/AAAAAAAAArU/RZ3BwsCO8pM/s320/man%27s.jpeg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396974679976961106" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"   style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:EN-USfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Viktor Frankl’s book “man’s search for meaning”, published in October&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"    style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:ENfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt; 23 1984,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"    style="font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-mso-ansi-language:ENfont-family:Arial;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"   style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:EN-USfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;has proved to be outstanding, inspiring, interesting and an eye opener for many people in their difficulties. He is one of the greatest minds of the 20th century and is well known as a psychiatrist, psychologist and philosopher. Thrown into a Nazi death camp in 1942, he, by his spiritual strength and his will to life, had managed to survive and thus became a living proof of the main thesis of his philosophy: one can live only for so long as one's life has a meaning. He entered the Nazi concentration camp as a psychologist, and found himself stripped of everything external, including his wife, his family, his life’s work, his home, his country, and even his identity. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"    style="font-family:&amp;quot;Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-fareast-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language:EN-US; mso-fareast-language:ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;The author encourages his fellow prisoners through his inspiring thoughts, stirring words and especially trough his loving concern and caring attention towards the other. Despite showing us how brutal humanity can be with regard to the concentration camps, Frankl manages to raise the listeners to search for the meaning in all the suffering. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"   style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:EN-USfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;What distinguishes Frankl from Freud is his conception of love. For him it is the thoughts of their loved ones were an important component of that &lt;span style="mso-bidi-font-style:italic"&gt;will to meaning&lt;/span&gt; that enabled people to survive. The truth is that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;A man who has nothing left in this world still may know bliss, be it only for a brief moment, in the contemplation of his beloved. He says "&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"&gt;I knew only one thing - which I have learned well by now: Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved".&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN"    style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:ENfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;color:black;"&gt;Frankl concludes that the meaning of life is found in every moment of living; life never ceases to have meaning, even in suffering and death. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"   style="Palatino Linotype&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language:EN-USfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;One who reads the book gets a new aspiration and vision of life.

Io penso..nessuno. Ma sapete, il pensiero dell’inferno o l’esistenza dell’anima, dopo la morte cambia totalmente la nostra vita. Ci aiuta a migliorare la nostra vita e ad essere coerenti nelle nostre azioni.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Mi ricordo un evento, che&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;è successo quattro anni fa. Una volta,io viaggiavo sull’autobus. È entrato un&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;anziano. Poiché &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;lui non aveva un posto da sedere, gli o ceduto il mio posto. Dopo lui ha fatto unpò di amicizia con me. Mi ha chiesto “ cosa stai facendo?”. Ho risposto “sto studiando teologia”. Mi ha chiesto di nuovo, “sei pienamente convinto con quello che sta studiando”. Ho detto “si”. Lui mi ha raccontato la sua storia. Era un professore, professore &lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;di filosofia e un ateista. Non andava mai alla Chiesa. Ma quando è diventato vecchio, ha cambiato l’opinione. Il pensiero della morte lo turbava spesso. È ritornato alla Chiesa e diventato un uomo di fede.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;La beatitudine eterna,l’inferno, la Santissima Trinità, l’incarnazione,l’eucarestia…sono misteri della fede. Possono essere capiti soltanto nella luce della fede. Il mistero dell’inferno coincide con il mistero del peccato. Siccome la croce di Cristo ci rivela l’amore salvifico di Dio, l’inferno ci rivela la vera natura del peccato. Il magistero della Chiesa ha parlato poco sull’esistenza e meno sulla natura dell’inferno. Papa Paulo VI nella sua professione di fede ha detto che “quelli che respingono l’amore e la misericordia di Dio fino alla fine saranno destinati al fuoco inestinguibile. Lo stato infernale è stato capito come qualcosa di fissato per sempre, nel quale l’uomo semplicemente né può reagire e fare il suo ritorno a Dio, né vuole voler pentirsi. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;Ci sono alcuni che pensano che possiamo sperimentare il paradiso o l’inferno in questa vita terrena. Quando ce l’abbiamo una lezione noiosissima, quando i professori ci danno troppi compiti,quando l’internet non funziona nell’aula informatica,quando ce un sciopero, quando ce un blocco traffico…noi diciamo questo è il nostro inferno. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;L’inferno è infatti è la perdita di Dio. È la privazione della visione di Dio. L’uomo nell’inferno si trova da solo, solo con se stesso. Più ancora si trova allontanato da Dio, dal Dio che lo ha amato,curato e cercato. l’inferno è il triste,paradossale e tragico segno della grandezza e della dignità dell’uomo. L’inferno è il mistero dell’amore offerto e dell’amore respinto.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;;mso-ansi-language: ITfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3051386384212813351-2096768756379472913?l=ilcristiano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/feeds/2096768756379472913/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2009/10/inferno.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/2096768756379472913'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/2096768756379472913'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2009/10/inferno.html' title='INFERNO.'/><author><name>Shyju Parackal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18218171813093653951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1sCny7otyI/AAAAAAAAAtk/FVp4aJFx-LI/S220/IMG_1026.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/StuPp_W31uI/AAAAAAAAArM/19GRJJUDSTA/s72-c/inferno.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3051386384212813351.post-5658964552614172597</id><published>2009-10-13T21:15:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-10-13T21:32:27.987+02:00</updated><title type='text'>EUTANASIA</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/StTVvzDf7SI/AAAAAAAAArE/DpsOfoeipVo/s1600-h/EUTANASIA.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 315px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/StTVvzDf7SI/AAAAAAAAArE/DpsOfoeipVo/s320/EUTANASIA.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392169671004777762" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Siccome, pochi giorni fa,  il papà di Eluana ha pubblicato un libro “La vita senza limiti”, io penso che sia molto opportuno a parlare sull’eutanasia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Nella teoria Eutanasia appare come un’idea stupenda, come &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;una morte dolce senza sofferenze, come un modo di aiutare gli ammalati che soffrono. Ma nella pratica, la cosa è differente. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Per eutanasia s'intende un'azione o un'omissione che di natura sua, procura la morte, allo scopo di eliminare ogni dolore. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;L'eutanasia è ammessa a quando:la persona che la richiede si trova in uno stato di malattia terminale e patisce sofferenze tali che la morfina non sono in grado di placare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="text-align:justify;line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Non posso accettare mai l’eutanasia. Non soltanto io, invece un vero cristiano o qualsiasi persona ragionevole non può accertarla perché è un crimine contro la vita. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;È una falsa soluzione al dramma della sofferenza.  Sono contro l’eutanasia perché credo fermamente che la vita è un grande dono di Dio. La vita umana è il fondamento di tutti i beni, la sorgente e la condizione necessaria di ogni attività umana e di ogni convivenza sociale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Nessuno può attentare alla vita di un uomo innocente senza opporsi all'amore di Dio per lui, senza violare un diritto fondamentale, perciò, un crimine di estrema gravità.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;È lecito provocare la morte di un malato? La risposta è semplicemente una: no, perché provocare la morte, compiere atti destinati a uccidere è sempre un crimine. Anche se un giorno esistessero leggi che permettessero l'eutanasia, anche se la società, ben diretta da alcuni ideologi, arrivasse a pensare che fosse lecito;il crimine è sempre crimine, e l'omicidio trasformato in qualcosa di “legale” è uno dei maggiori disordini nella vita dei popoli.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"  style="line-height: 115%;  font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Purtroppo in questa società, esiste una secolarizzazione del pensiero e della vita, che ha avuto come conseguenza, una forte incapacità dell’uomo a dare senso al dolore e alla morte, portando a rimuoverli ed escluderli dall’esistenza quotidiana. Io penso che una persona che rispetta la vita innocente e riconosce il carattere sacro della vita dell’uomo e il primato della persona sulla società, non accetterà mai l’eutanasia. Una legge che consenta l'eutanasia non è soltanto un affronto a Chi ci ha creato, ma aprirebbe inevitabilmente la strada ad omicidi veri e propri, ossia contro la volontà della persona interessata.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"  style="line-height: 115%;  font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"&gt;&lt;span lang="IT"   style="line-height:115%;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:12.0pt;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3051386384212813351-5658964552614172597?l=ilcristiano.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/feeds/5658964552614172597/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2009/10/eutanasia.html#comment-form' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/5658964552614172597'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3051386384212813351/posts/default/5658964552614172597'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ilcristiano.blogspot.com/2009/10/eutanasia.html' title='EUTANASIA'/><author><name>Shyju Parackal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18218171813093653951</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/S1sCny7otyI/AAAAAAAAAtk/FVp4aJFx-LI/S220/IMG_1026.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_p4mNwZcQcdM/StTVvzDf7SI/AAAAAAAAArE/DpsOfoeipVo/s72-c/EUTANASIA.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
