Nederlandse Rode Kruis helpt Gaza en Israël

In een artikel van vandaag bericht De Telegraaf dat het Nederlandse ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken een half miljoen euro aan het Rode Kruis zal geven. Zoals hiernaast te lezen is voegt het Rode Kruis daar zelf 30,000 euro aan toe voor de hulpverlening in Israël.

Bedankt, Rode Kruis Nederland. Bedankt dat jullie niet alleen de grote nood in Gaza zien maar ook de nood in Israël zien en proberen om daar te helpen. De situatie in Gaza is vreselijk. Dat ziet iedereen. Maar de verhalen die ik hoor van vrienden in Israël, de beelden die ik uit Israël zie - die zijn ook vreselijk. Daarom, bedankt dat jullie beide kanten zien.

Nederland geeft half miljoen voor hulp Gaza 
"In Israël werkt het Internationale Rode Kruis nauw samen met Magod David Adom (MDA) en in de Palestijnse gebieden met de Rode Halve Maan. Beide zijn zusterorganisaties van het Nederlandse Rode Kruis. Bij elke inslag of elk bombardement rukken zij met ambulances en hulpverleners uit om gewonden op te halen, te verplegen en naar ziekenhuizen te brengen."

Kleine correctie: Het Israëlische Rode Kruis heet "Magen David Adom". Verder doen ze inderdaad heel erg goed werk, net zoals het Rode Kruis en de Rode Halve Maan.

Voor meer informatie over het Israëlische Rode Kruis, zie bijvoorbeeld:

Magen David Adom Nederland (Nederlandstalig).

The one who changed my thinking

There's a difference between the person who writes this blog, and the person I am when not writing this blog. In my personal life, I'm quiet, someone who doesn't like attention. There are two reasons for that: One: I often feel like people just don't get me. Being 'the outsider' is just easier. No strained interactions. No having to try to fit in. Two: When it comes to stuff I am passionate about, like sociology, psychology, politics and religion, my opinion differs from many around me. I am pro-Israel.  Something that doesn't seem very popular or mainstream. Especially since October 7th. Being pro-Israel, to me... That doesn't mean that I support, or agree with, every decision the Israeli government makes. Far from it. But do I support Israel's right to exist? Yes. Do I support Israel's right to defend itself? Yes. Do I feel that the world is against Israel? Also: Yes. On the 7th of October 2023, a large number of rather angry men entered towns ...

Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory

Urie Bronfenbrenner (1917 - 2005) was a Russian American psychologist and professor known for developing the Ecological Systems Theory. He was generally regarded as one of the world's leading scholars in the field of developmental psychology. I learned about theorists such as Bronfenbrenner while studying towards my B.Ed. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory views the person as developing within a multi-layered system of relationships. Using the example of a child, the systems are: The Microsystem - One's family, classroom The Mesosystem - Two micro-systems in interaction (i.e. family and classroom) The Exosystem - External environments which indirectly influence development The Macrosystem - The larger socio-cultural context. Added later: The Chronosystem - The evolution of the external systems over time. Each system contains roles, norms and rules that can powerfully shape development. (Source: Wikipedia ) The Microsystem: The setting in which the indi...

New Orleans' Garden District

Anne Rice's old house on 1239 First Street and the setting of Mayfair Manor Photo Source: Flickr Looking up information about the house writer Anne Rice uses as the site for the family mansion in her Mayfair Witches series, I came across a lot of interesting information about that particular house as well as about the Garden District area of New Orleans. As Victoriana Magazine's website puts it: One of the world's most dazzling residential neighborhoods – containing a time capsule of historic southern mansions – is located in the Louisiana city of New Orleans.  The Garden District, a large square area bounded by Jackson Avenue, Louisiana Avenue, Magazine St. and St. Charles Ave, is the live oak tree-lined "American" sector of this southern city. ... The architecture of these historic houses is a fusion of classic styles with influence of Spanish, French, Italianate and English, as well as Greek Revival. These stately homes represent some of the best...
