Computer Crimes

I asked Wedyan about computer crimes in Saudi Arabia, she says that hackers usually don't get punished in her country, but in very few cases they get punished. Also, she thinks underage hackers must have a special punishments like spending time in Rehabilitation centers. Fortunately, hackers didn't hack her accounts or e-mail. As she said that hackers usually don't get punishments, so they don't have an e-police stations.

Mass Media

I got my information from the Internet, it's the easiest and fastest way to get news. Also, it's the cheapest than any other source and you can get it anytime anywhere. I use it to get news, watch TV shows and communicate with my friends and family. I'm a soccer fan so I get the last result and see every match I want on time. I usually use Internet about 3-4 hours everyday day.

Behaviors my parents taught me


My parent taught me a lot of behaviors. One of it is respecting other people in many ways. First, they taught me how to respect old people at the beginning by being nice, patient, and kind to them.
When we were go to the supermarket they asked me to say thank you to
anyone who helps me. Also, respecting older people was so important to
them, and they taught me how to do that early I think. It was from the first
behaviors. So when I say thank you to a person, show respect to an old
person, or help an old person with something they would give me reward,
buy me a clothes, or take me to a place that I love. In the other hand when
I don't do that they were give me a punishment like doing a house work, less
playtime, or more study time.
The second behavior was to respect my teachers by do what they ask me
to do, be in class on time, and don't interrupt them. My school has a meeting
between the teachers and the parents every semester, so they can know
about their children, their behavior and their grades. If i were good at a 
semester they would give me a good rewards like buying me a computer,
bicycle or videogames. I was good at school so I didn't get a punishment
for that.
The third behavior they taught me was telling the truth. Children are bad
with lying and you can know when they lie. So my parents knew if I was
telling the truth or not, so they were helping me following that by giving my
rewards like take me to a good places on weekends, buy me videogames
or more playtime. But if I lied they would give me punishments, like do a 
housework, more study time and less play time.

My trip to the US

The week before I came to the US was very busy week. First, I went shopping and bought everything that I need, some clothes and other stuff. Then, I visited my uncle and my aunts said goodbye to them. Next, two days before my flight, my family did a little party for me, and we had dinner and I was very happy of being with them. Then, I spent my last day in SA with my mother because I'm going to be in the US for a long time. Also, my brothers and sister came to my house and spent the night there. Next, at 1:00 am I went to the airport and had a very long flight. At the beginning I went to Qatar, then to Texas. I spent a night in Texas, then the next day I came to Tempe just one day before my placement exam. Finally, it was a very long trip, but at the same time I had a great time.

Letter 1

When children learn a new word or a new action they do it a lot because they enjoying when they do it, every peoblem has a solution. With your child I think the problem that he must see a lot of people swearing all the time, also you can't tell him not to do that because he watches people doing it. On the other hand you can tell him that swearing is allowed only if it's necessary, if its not then he cant swear for no good reason. That way you can make him swear only when he needs to, and that's what you want.

The Family

       Families are different from a country to another. For example, in the US every man connot marry more than one women. But in Saudi Arabia every man can marry up to 4 women at the same time. In the other hand, you connot date in puplic in Saudi Arabia. Also, there is a very intersesting thing that every Saudi family do, it's that every family should have a dinner or lunch at least once a week, the whole family comes to one house. It's a great thing to do and that doesn't happen in the US. Or maybe little families do that.
However, a girl in Saudi Arabia can't get pregnant until she gets married, but in the US they can. Also, every chils in the US moves out from his house when he turn 18. In my country  no one moves out until he gets married or travel for college, but in the normail conditions no one moves out. In my opinion I think it's to early for someone who is 18 to move out, but it depends. When you want to marry in the US simply you can date any girl you want to, or the girl can find the man she wants. But in my country tha man should find the girls he wants, and she will decide if she wants him or not. There is another thing like driving, womens connot drive in Saudi Arabia, but almost every family has its own driver. So women like that, and it's not a problem anymore if you have your own driver.
