Full textAbstract:
The happiest outcomes of the work of the International Law Commission (ILC) result when those charged with reporting on a topic elucidate the existing law with maximum objectivity and accuracy and when, where desired, they formulate such possibilities for its avowed progressive development as find a solid basis in emerging practice or international jurisprudence and are unlikely to arouse implacable opposition among members of the Commission or member states of the General Assembly. This history should be foremost in the minds of those presently leading the Commission’s work on the immunity of state officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction as they come next session to report on possible limitations on and exceptions to such immunity. Whether the eventual aim is codification or reform, any consideration of this most controverted and combustible of contemporary questions of international law that is not based on an impartial and convincing assessment of relevant state practice and international case-law and that misreads the political temper of the times will end in tears, in the Commission itself and even more so in the Sixth Committee of the General Assembly.

Full textAbstract:
Folk tradition in general is very often associated with natural entities, drawing its strength from believing in their magical properties. The cult of tree is one of the remnants of pagan elements that the Church accepted, because the people resisted all church proclamations, prohibitions and with their perseverance in respecting the cult of tree in all segments of life managed to preserve it. In that endeavor, the tree was given a new semantic meaning, which resulted in its partial imposition on the church. There are numerous examples of respect for the cult of the tree, which is noticeable within the multitude of customs and rituals that are still performed in rural areas throughout Serbia. In the Serbian folk tradition, a pine tree is often considered sacred if it is planted in a significant place or by an important person. A prominent example of such a belief can be found in the village of Gornje Nerodimlje, where the pillar of parliamentary customs was a pine tree, which, according to the beliefs of today's population, was personally planted by King Milutin and sung in the folk song "Oj, bore sabore." Given the current circumstances in which the Serb population was completely evicted from Gornje Nerodimlje, thus preventing them from accessing their long-guarded and respected sanctities, the Easter gathering, which many locals describe as the happiest holiday of their lives in Kosovo and Metohija, is destroyed along with the trees which represented a central elements of this tradition. Therefore, it is especially important to preserve this tradition from the memory of older locals. The semantic connection of the song to the pine tree certainly opens the possibility of analyzing the melodies in which the musical elements of depicting the meaning of the text can be noticed. In the minds of the displaced population of Gornji Nerodimlje, the song "Oj, bore sabore" is dedicated to King Milutin's pine tree. Although according to the dilemmas presented, we cannot claim that this tree has always been known as a handicraft of this historical figure, nor that the song was sung in the honor of that tree, we cannot deny that ancient tradition to people who lived in Gornje Nerodmlje or their descendants.

Cerebral Palsy is a disability resulting from damage to the brain before or during the birth and is manifested by muscular in-coordination and speech disturbances. They have been victims of public misunderstanding from the time that William John Little, MD, the English physician, recognised and publicised them in the year 1843. As a research project, the present investigators wanted to exp lore the world of spastic children by selecting artistry as the medium of expression of their thoughts, feelings, problems and needs. The study, through natural and participant observation as well as through interviews with counsellors, psychologists and medical professionals drew profiles of spastic children. The analysis of their drawings/paintings reflected their healthy bent of mind, positive attitudes towards life and necessity to be surrounded by happiness and healthy conditions. The study on the basis of their findings has given some concrete suggestions for the teachers and the parents with a proper accent on the following: ‘The disabled are people too. All people are different. What is so special about their difference?’

Shashi Deshpande focuses the need of human beings of present generation to be optimistic in the fast moving planetary as human life across the world is turning bleak time and again. In modern society, people fail to train their minds to be positive, they intentionally or unintentionally give space for emotions and thoughts to torture their thoughts perhaps and that leads to mental illness and carries malicious reflection in individuals, families and societies. Shashi Deshpande does a complete analysis on the rational thinking process of human beings to create happiness and to experience the power of one’s creation in this cosmic. Through her characters, Shashi Deshpande makes the readers understand that to enhance and empower their role in life, they must learn to unlearn negative thoughts and fill their minds with positive thoughts.

Full textAbstract:
Who should be considered the most unhappy, the blind or the deaf? The intensive debate over this issue in the early 19th century is the outset of our study of how during the last two hundred years disability and happiness have become inextricably connected. On the basis of our historical analysis we have identified characteristics that also can be found in current happiness interpretations, namely the persistent role played by activation, professional intervention, and alignment with normative behaviors. In order to highlight this intimate connection between past and present we subsequently focus on the contemporary preoccupation with the happiness of people with disabilities, exemplified by research on the so-called “disability paradox” and the development of happiness indices within the behavioral sciences. Our thesis is that applying perspectives from disability studies to happiness research uncovers processes of exclusion and other modalities of power previously overlooked. In our examples, we recognize a desire to lay bare the inside of disabled people’s minds and impose on them un/happy subjectivities. We furthermore argue that the way we think of, and treat, both disability and happiness, i. e. by systematization and professionalization, belongs to a rationalization process which risks colonizing the emotional realm of disabled people. Thus we suggest a research program that ‘dis/ables’ happiness studies and, aided by historical analysis, reconsiders the emotional dimension of disability.

Full textAbstract:
Across the globe the nations are trying to explore and identify the strategies which
would help in enhancing the positive affect leading to ultimate happiness in each and
every stratum of the society specifically among adolescents. Positive Psychological
Interventions (PPIs) such as mindfulness, savoring, gratitude, kindness, empathy,
meaning, flow exercises etc. are being applied to generate positive feelings and to
attain the goal of sustainable happiness and well-being. Savoring is believed to be one
such strategy in positive psychology which has shown promising effects in enhancing
happiness, positive affect and reducing negative affect. The present study comprising
of 300 (N=300) adolescents from the state of Haryana (India) made an attempt to
explore relationship between savoring, happiness, positive affect and negative affect.
Savoring Beliefs Inventory by Bryant (2003), Oxford Happiness Questionnaire by Hills
& Argyle (2002) and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule by Watson et al. (1988)
were applied to measure the variables. Savoring emerged as a significant correlate
and predictor of happiness and positive affect among adolescents

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to explore the complexity and dynamics in the process of negotiation and re-negotiation of brand associations within a Vietnamese cultural context, focusing on the identity construction created through local consumption preferences. t It explores how Western brands are symbolically important in Vietnamese consumers’ self-image. Design/methodology/approach – A total of 600 Vietnamese youth between 18 and 35 years living in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City completed the survey. A projective technique (storytelling) was applied to elicit the hidden thoughts and motivations among respondents. Findings – Vietnamese consumers increasingly attach themselves to certain brands to affirm their desired identity. They believe in “material goods bring happiness”. The symbolic meanings of brands (which we describe around six themes) become very important in their patterns of consumption in shaping their lived experience and the way they want to communicate their self-images. Practical implications – The paper’s insights can be of value to marketing and advertising professionals and to those with responsibility for consumer regulation in emerging markets. Social implications – The paper contributes to our understanding of how socio-political tensions are played out and managed in consumer culture and identifies particular contradictions which may drive future changes. Originality/value – The paper reports on a study which uses a neglected method to provide the latest data on consumer culture in Vietnam and links features of consumption-based identity to the specific Vietnamese historical, political, economic and socio-cultural context.

Full textAbstract:
Many philosophical subjects attempt to analyze the basis of human welfare. Theories of desert, distribution of property, and happiness tend to dominate philosophical discourse. Mental credit, which is the mental acquisition of credit for one’s accomplishments and the satisfaction one derives from this credit, is absent from this discourse despite its underlying role in the way people think about their lives. Mental credit is an eternal cognitive good that deserves thoughtful attention and pious decisions for implementation. The following theory of mental credit seeks to serve as a unifying theory for the mental calculations that guide life’s most imperative decisions, satisfaction, and impact one has on the world.

JUNEJA, JASKARAN. "FINANCIAL MODELLING OF THE COMPANY “HAPPIEST MINDS”." Thesis, 2023. http://dspace.dtu.ac.in:8080/jspui/handle/repository/20202.
Full textAbstract:
The process of company valuation entails a comprehensive analysis of all facets of a
business, including its various divisions or components, intending to determine their
respective worth. Determining a business's true market worth through company
valuation is commonly employed for various purposes, such as transaction value,
ownership establishment, taxation, and legal proceedings related to divorce. Business
owners often seek the expertise of professional evaluators to obtain an impartial
evaluation of their company's value. The practice of determining the monetary worth
of a business is frequently carried out in scenarios where a corporation plans to sell off
a portion or all of its activities or when it aims to participate in a consolidation or
takeover with another organization. Thus, this paper aims at evaluating the intrinsic
value for the company named Happiest Minds (NSE: HAPPSTMNDS), using one of
the most popular methods of company valuation known as Discounted Cash Flow
(DCF) model. Founded in 2011, Happiest Minds is an IT Service Company that helps
enterprises across industries in their digital transformation journey. It strongly focuses
on new-age technologies such as AI, Cloud, Security Solutions, SaaS, IoT, etc. This
study aims to identify the approximate value of the company using the information
which has been made available by the company in the public domain like the annual
reports which include the basic financial statements like the Balance sheet, Income
Statement and Cash Flow statement. Apart from that it also includes management
discussion and analysis part which helps the reader to get an idea about the company’s
future direction or expansion strategy. The future data has been forecasted for a period
of 5 years, and then after that, the terminal value has been calculated for the company.
We have taken a forecasting period of 5 years as it is considered to be an appropriate
time period to make conclusions about the future growth, direction, and stability of the
company. Various helper forecasts like the capital expenditure schedule, working
capital schedule, and debt schedule have been formed, aiding in the overall forecasting
process. Since it is just a forecast, so several things will be as per the knowledge of the
reader and what he expects from the company, and the entire industry or sector to
perform in the coming years, which is one of the limitations of this study.

This study explored the harm caused by violent interactions and emotional frustration during self-growth and investigated how related problems arise during counseling learning. I hoped to reflect upon my life story and express my subjective experiences during the writing process to clearly understand my situation. In the literature review section, the differences between qualitative sociopsychological research and quantitative research were explored. Through narrative research, subjectivity and self-reflection manifested in the paper. Additionally, the development of narrative research in recent studies and the influence of narrative research on helping professions were examined. This study adopted a self-narrative research method. Through writing and recollection, “my” continuous life story was subjectively reinterpreted to facilitate self-narration from an originally fragmented and incomplete story through consideration of my historical, geographical, cultural, and social background, mainstream constructions, and the perspectives of my family members. The story has four parts. In Part 1, two families in my childhood are introduced: my primary family and grandparents residing in the military village. The main upbringing in the primary family and the doting love from my grandparents are described. In Part 2, the origin of violence is depicted. In a violent domestic environment, I gradually began to adapt to violent behaviors and even used violence on campus and harmed others. Finally, I stopped using violence. Part 3 presents the emotional world in which to pursue desired love; I formed intricate relationships with women and experienced frustration, pain, depression, and weakness. In Part 4, I describe regaining strength and enjoying the company and warmth provided by two significant women in my life: my grandmother and my wife. After finishing writing, I could recognize the violence in my life and discern how it was rooted, developed, grew, and subsided. I understood how violence was present in various situations in my life, its meaning, and why it dissipated. Understanding the violence in my life enabled me to help other people write the script for happiness and search for the lost mind while working in a helping profession.

Full textAbstract:
Health is one of the most significant incomes of happiness and well-being. Since ancient times, Buddhism has been intimately intertwined with the avoidance of human suffering. Two thousand five hundred years ago, the supreme Buddha preached about the importance of keeping the mind happy and health care. The Buddha, preached as a doctor, talked about how stress affects our mental health and wellbeing, and that the cure for ailments related to mental health is to understand the Dhamma, and that valuable Dhamma is illustrated in the Suttas. The main objective of this research is to study about the content of Buddhism and its importance on how to get health care through happiness. The secondary objective is to study whether it is possible to achieve a healthy life through happiness with the help and the incorporation of Buddhist sermons. The research uses primary and secondary data. Primary data are collected through participant observation and interviews. Secondary data are obtained from both published and unpublished sources. As further data gathered, embracing the teachings of the Buddha into our lives brings peace of mind and it will lead us to the progressive path of being healthy. The best example of this is the supreme Buddha. Since, he has been the first to heal all the sufferings and to demonstrate to the world the worth and importance of it and how to achieve a healthy and balanced life through it. Key Words: Happiness, Healthcare, Buddhism, Mind, Peace.

Background: In recent years, interest has been growing in cognitive and affective ToM functioning in individuals suffering from neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the affective ToM has been less investigated. Objective: This study aims to compare affective ToM performance in persons with mild to moderate AD and healthy older controls (HOC), and its relationship with cognition. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 97 mild to moderate AD individuals and 40 HOC. To assess affective ToM, participants were administered a task that examines ability to comprehend the emotional situation nature along with the appropriate emotional state that one would experience in that situation. Assessments of cognition, dementia severity, functionality, awareness of disease and neuropsychiatric symptoms were completed for AD group. Results: Analyses of emotional reasoning indicated a group effect on performance. There was a significant difference between the AD and HOC groups in terms of their ability to understand situations of sadness, surprise, anger, and happiness, with the moderate AD showing the worst performance for all emotional situations. Ability to appropriately name the emotional state was significantly different for surprise, anger, and happiness, but not for sadness, with both AD groups showing lower performance for surprise and anger, and with the mild AD showing better performance for happiness. In both AD groups, ability to understand the emotional situation and to name the emotion was significantly correlated with cognitive impairment and awareness of disease. Neuropsychiatric symptoms were significantly correlated in moderate AD group. Conclusions: Impairment in understanding the emotional aspects of situations can lead moderate AD people to experience conflicts in family and social situations. Mild AD people can experience same conflicts when their preserved ability in understanding the emotional situation is underestimated.

A virtuous life is the fruit of a mind with a rich inner landscape. It can be overtly inferred by sincerity in speech, generosity of righteous deeds and is elegantly fulfilled by inner contentment. World peace entails that despite prevailing differences and disapprovals, global citizens find it proper to continue to work together towards meliorating the quality of life for one and all. This paper analyzed secondary data to unveil the instrumental role played by virtues in the conquest of peace. The findings deducted are indicative of the seminal importance of virtue inculcation as means to restore world peace.

Full textAbstract:
The article describes the results of the empirical study into sociodemographic correlates and subjective correlates of happiness. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that the modern world places exorbitant, often conflicting requirements (information-driven, need and motive-based, value-oriented, etc.) on the individual. Our study aimed to define the linkage between the happiness of mature Russians and their satisfaction with different aspects of life. We formed the hypothesis of a connection between happiness and satisfaction with the job, material situation, health, proper rest, inter-spousal relations, and relationships with their children and friends. The results revealed that the feelings of happiness are connected with both objective socio-demographic indicators and the level of satisfaction with different life aspects. Happiness positively correlates with the number of children in a family and income, and also with overall life satisfaction. With age, a subjective sense of happiness “fades” a bit, and the respondents estimate happiness slightly lower (it is more characteristic of the female part of the sample). Men and women do not differ in the level of being happy but there exist some peculiarities in the linkage of happiness with such factors as marital status (being married) and the number of children – unlike men, for women these correlations are statistically significant. Also, men, compared to women, are more satisfied with the material situation and inter-spousal relations and less satisfied with their relations with friends. In general, the obtained results complement the data published in academic literature. Thus, it was found that not all factors considered as predictors of happiness in the public mind correlate with the feelings of happiness. For instance, it was revealed that such an essential factor of material wellbeing as homeownership has nothing to do with a sense of happiness: the respondents with and without own homes are equally happy

Full textAbstract:
This article enlightens therapeutic character of the Hellenistic philosophical schools. Most of them created not only theory of practical philosophy called ethics but also a very concrete recipe of happiness. These recipes like Epicurean tetrapharmakos still actual nowadays for their strong motivative power and can be explained in a very modern term of neuroethics. In spite of the controversial positions in many kinds of philosophical questions and ethical practical recommendations, these schools share the common ideals. Three ideals or remedies of Hellenistic schools are ataraxia (unperturbability, tranquility), apatheia (freedom from passion) and autarkia (a selfsufficiency, independence of external events). Three ‘A’s of Hellenistic ethics are the crucial components of eudaimonia. In the neuroethical perspective it can be seen as the serotonin-type of ethics based on the avoidance of the passions and the mind control of negative emotions or self-mastery.

The work environment is constantly changing. It is necessary to adapt effectively in order to have an increased productivity. Terms such as leadership, mindset, long-term goals, critical or analytical mind are the key factors that are deciding the fate of a certain company. In our country, it is mainly young people who are aware of the positive consequences of practicing emotional intelligence. But how easy is it to practice these qualities in a country like Albania? Recently, various trainings are being held for the development of individual performance, but does the Albanian society really know what it means to have an individual performance? One of the basic principles of Adlerian psychology is closely related to the principles of EQ: Thinking of the common good. How can this happen when everyone is supposed to think for themselves? The paper is based on the interpretation of the main tests of Emotional Intelligence by comparing them with the data from a questionnaire that is addressed to 100 employees or people who have at least worked 1 time with contractual agreement. Main tests used are those based on Daniel Goleman’s EQ Framework, specifically “360 degree” instrument. Keywords: Emotional intelligence, HR practices, Leadership, Humanity, Happiness.

The visual and behavioral codes prevalent in society at any given moment are part of its social conventions and constitute a framework that rules everyone´s image, dress and the attitudes that society not only tolerates but expects from them. However, it is unquestionable that despite the rigidity and formality imposed on personal appearance and manners, it is still possible to find some room to play with the possibilities afforded to people, albeit conditioned by their social status, so as to manage to express their inner self, mood, and even outlook on life, at any point in time. What is more, it is possible for an individual inserted in such a society to become the center around which everything revolves and trace a path to success, without necessarily trespassing any of the red lines drawn by society's norms. In her novels, Jane Austen chose as protagonists middle to upper class young women that stand out by managing to, in the limited scope of action afforded to them, work society in their favour so as to achieve their perceived notions of fulfillment and personal happiness. Based on one of Austen's novels Emma, and its 2020 movie adaptation directed by Autumn de Wilde, we will assess how Alexandra Byrne’s costumes work in relation to the aesthetics of Emma’s world and surroundings. As well as investigate how they showcase, are impacted and can even be read as symbolic representations of the course of her life, evolution and relationships in this movie, which is considered to be particularly faithful to the novel.Keeping this in mind, we will analyse several scenes that are key both in terms of the plot and the costumes of the main character—Emma. This analysis will consider filmic and design notions of characters, narrative and space, as well as their construction and representation. It will focus on questions of storytelling regarding how the viewer is informed about Emma’s personality and mood, as well as capable of feeling her emotions, in the key events of the plot. As well as try to answer why and how Emma and her costumes remain the main focus in almost every shot of the movie, and how components such as the fictional space, its framing and composition are always in relation and dependent on her and her portrayal.Despite this movie being Autumn de Wilde’s debut, her mastery of notions of visual hierarchies, aesthetics and cinematic techniques that keep Emma highlighted and the focus of the action at all times, in the foreground of the shot, is undeniable. This translates to impeccably shot spaces that are completely in tune with the costumes, providing a sense of ease or contrast to the characters' relation to the space, further highlighting the subjects in the main action.In such an aesthetically developed piece, it is then also unavoidable that Emma’s every interaction and the development of her relationships will have a direct impact on her inner image, and therefore her outer image, affecting her relation and attachments to her costumes.

Full textAbstract:
If killing a single person is considered as a major crime that forbidden by Sharia and law at the international level and at the level of all religions and divine legislation, so what about the concept of genocide!! Here, not just an individual with a weak influence on society is killed, but thousands of individuals, that means an entire nation, a future, energy and human and intellectual capabilities that can tip the scales, and on the other hand, broken and half-dead hearts are left behind from the horrific scenes of killing they witnessed before their eyes, moreover, the massacres of genocide continues to excrete its remnants and consequences for long years and for successive generations, and it may generate grudges of revenge among generations that did not receive the adequate awareness and psychological support which are necessary to rehabilitate these generations to benefit from the tragedies and bitter experiences of life to turn them into lessons and incentives to achieve progress and advancement. Genocide is a deadly poison whose toxic effect extends from generations to others unless it is wisely controlled. Here the role of the international community and its legal, legislative and humanitarian stance from these crimes is so important and supportive. Genocide can be occurred on two levels: external and internal. As for genocide on the external level: this is what happened at the hands of foreign powers against a certain people for colonial and expansionist goals in favor of the occupier or usurper. There are many examples throughout history, such as the Ottoman and British occupations...etc Whereas genocide at the internal level, can be defined as the repressive actions that governments practice against their own people for goals that could be extremist, racist or dictatorial, such as t ""Al-Anfal"" massacre in 1988 carried out by the previous regime against the Kurds in the Kurdistan region. The number of victims amounted at one hundred thousand martyrs, most of them were innocent and unarmed people from children, women and the elderly, and also the genocide which was practiced against of the organizers of Al-Shaibania Revolution in 1991 was another example of genocide in the internal level. It is possible to deduce a third level between the external and internal levels, which is the genocide that is done at the hands of internal elements from the people of the country, but in implementation of external agendas, for example, the scenes of organized and systematic sectarian killing that we witnessed daily during (2007) and (2008), followed by dozens of bloody explosions in various regions throughout the capital, which unfortunately was practiced by the people of the country who were misguided elements in order to destabilize the security of the country and we did not know until this moment in favor of which external party!! In the three aforementioned cases, nothing can justify the act of killing or genocide, but in my personal opinion, I see that genocide at the hands of foreign forces is less drastic effects than the genocides that done at the hands of internal forces that kill their own people to impose their control and to defense their survival, from the perspective of ""the survival for the strongest, the most criminal and the most dictatorial. The matter which actually dragged the country into the abyss and the ages of darkness and ignorance. As for the foreign occupier, he remains an occupier, and it is so natural for him to be resentful and spiteful and to keep moving with the bragging theory of that (the end justifies the means) and usurping lands illegally, but perhaps recently the occupier has begun to exploit loopholes in international laws and try to gain the support of the international community and international organizations to prove the legitimacy of what has no legitimacy, in the end to achieve goals which pour into the interest of the occupiers' country and from the principle of building the happiness and well-being of the occupiers' people at the expense of the misery and injustice of other peoples!! This remains absolutely dehumanizing societal crime, but at least it has a positive side, which is maximizing economic resources and thus achieving the welfare of a people at the expense of seizing the wealth of the occupied country. This remains the goal of the occupier since the beginning of creation to this day, but today the occupation associated with the horrific and systematic killing has begun to take a new template by framing the ugliness of the crime with humanitarian goals and the worst, to exploit religion to cover their criminal acts. A good example of this is the genocide that took place at the hands of the terrorist organization ISIS, that contradictory organization who adopted the religion which forbids killing and considers it as one of the greatest sins as a means to practice the most heinous types of killing that contemporary history has witnessed!! The ""Spiker"" and ""Sinjar"" massacres in 2014 are the best evidence of this duality in the ideology of this terrorist organization. We may note that the more we advance in time, the more justification for the crimes of murder and genocide increases. For example, we all know the first crimes of genocide represented by the fall of Baghdad at the hands of the Mongol leader ""Hulagu"" in 1258. At that time, the crimes of genocide did not need justification, as they were practiced openly and insolently for subversive, barbaric and criminal goals!! The question here imposes itself: why were the crimes of genocide in the past practiced openly and publicly without need to justify the ugliness of the act? And over time, the crimes of genocide began to be framed by pretexts to legitimize what is prohibited, and to permit what is forbidden!! Or to clothe brutality and barbarism in the patchwork quilt of humanity?? And with this question, crossed my mind the following ""Aya"" from the Glorious Quran (and do not kill the soul that God has forbidden except in the right) , this an explicit ""Aya"" that prohibits killing and permits it only in the right, through the use of the exception tool (except) that permits what coming after it . But the"" right"" that God describes in the glorious Quran has been translated by the human tongues into many forms and faces of falsehood!! Anyway, expect the answer of this controversial question within the results of this study. This study will discuss the axis of (ideologies of various types and genocide), as we will analyze excerpts from the speeches of the former regime that were announced on the local media after each act of genocide or purification, as the former regime described at that time, but the difference in this study is that the analysis will be according to a scientific and thoughtful approach which is far from the personal ideology of the researcher. The analysis will be based on a model proposed by the contemporary Dutch scientist ""Teun A. Van Dijk"". Born in 1943, ""Van Dijk"" is a distinguished scholar and teaching in major international universities. He has authored many approved books as curricula for teaching in the field of linguistics and political discourse analysis. In this study, Van Dijk's Model will be adopted to analyze political discourse ideologies according to forty-one criteria. The analysis process will be conducted in full transparency and credibility in accordance with these criteria without imposing the researcher's personal views. This study aims to shed light on the way of thinking that the dictatorial regimes adopt to impose their existence by force against the will of the people, which can be used to develop peoples' awareness to understand and analyze political statements in a scientific way away from the inherited ideologies imposed by customs, clan traditions, religion, doctrine and nationalism. With accurate scientific diagnosis, we put our hand on the wounds. So we can cure them and also remove the scars of these wounds. This is what we seek in this study, diagnosis and therefore suggesting the suitable treatment "
