Licenses for government law practitioners
Al-Watan newspaperIN all states of America, lawyers are required to undergo regular training for a certain amount of hours each year under a program called Continuing Legal Education (CLE). This training enables lawyers to be aware of changes to the law and is necessary to ensure lawyers meet a certain level of expertise. Unfortunately, in Saudi Arabia, the legal qualification and training of government practitioners, from consultants to researchers and even judges, is not at the required level.There was a time when law and its teaching was forbidden in the Kingdom. It was thanks to the late Minister Ghazi Al-Gosaibi that law was taught at the Institute of Management. It is unclear what the required subjects are that are taught. However, it is said that at one of the universities, half of...

The corrupted storm of cronyism
Almadina newspaperPEOPLE in our society use cronyism to achieve certain goals and it is rare that you will find someone who hasn’t relied on cronyism at some point. To be completely honest, I am also guilty of relying on cronyism. To start, let me first introduce the local version of this practice as it has different definitions, depending on the culture and society it is practiced in.Cronyism is clearly prohibited in Islamic law and is considered a crime like any other type of crime under general law. People who engage in this practice must be punished especially if their actions harmed someone or led to someone being denied their rights. Some people might justify cronyism even though it is completely unjustifiable. Indeed, we use cronyism in our daily lives, almost in everything even...

Accurate information
Al Madina newspaperSPREADING rumors is an old game that has been going on for many years. It is done in different ways. You might underestimate the huge effect of these rumors but they could train your brain to treat lies as facts, confuse you brain between right and wrong and make you believe statements that are untrue.People decide to believe or not believe rumors if they can relate to them, despite their level of accuracy. Thus, throughout history it has been the case that lies have been repeated to an extent that they have over time been considered to be facts.We receive Whatsapp and Twitter messages on a daily basis; do we check the sources before passing these messages on to our friends or followers or do we just rush to share them with other people.How did people deal with...

Netflix: Traditional entertainment in the Saudi Arabia

Lies spread faster on social media
RiyadhIT is a well-known fact that false news and rumors find their way to people faster than real news does. In my opinion, people these days selectively say and hear what they want and then share these ideas with others. It seems that no one wants to make an effort to reach what can be described as the truth. This behavior is no longer confined to the physical world and is prevalent in the virtual world of social media.A recent study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that false news spreads on Twitter more quickly and is searched by people more than real news. The study focused on 126,000 false rumors and stories that spread over Twitter over a period of 11 years. Researchers found that false news was being forwarded by people rather than internet bots and they...

The art of destruction
Almadinah newspaperIF security and stability are some of the conditions necessary for achieving development, then Arabs are surely excluded from this. Arabs still live in a state where competing interests cause divisions and therefore, they will always be trapped in backwardness, far away from development. The barbarity of antagonism and constant state of war is stripping humans of emotions that would otherwise bloom by fraternity. There is only constant destruction with no chance of rebuilding.Barriers must be broken to have a fresh start and the major barrier is the raging fire that kills brothers, friends, women, children and destroys villages and infrastructure. We all know that destruction is the easiest to carry out and anyone can accomplish this in a short time but building takes...

Saudi-US relations back on track
Okaz newspaperSAUDI ARABIA and the United States under the Trump Administration have been able to take their strategic bilateral relationship back on track after it had deviated from the historic path during the previous US administrations when the two countries differed on their approach to a number of regional issues including the Iranian nuclear build-up.The visit of Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman to Washington has succeeded in rearranging the political stances on two issues important to the Kingdom; the first concerns Iran, its nuclear program and its interventions in Syria, Iraq and Yemen, and the second is related to the Houthis and their coup against the legitimate government of Yemen at the behest of Tehran.The US Administration today is firm toward the nuclear agreement with...

MBS and the historic partnership
Okaz newspaperTHE visits of foreign leaders to the US in general are usually for short periods during which they will meet with the president and sometimes the leaders of the Congress.Such meetings, in addition to their political objectives, may have publicity purposes as well. These leaders often want to send a message to their home audience that their head of state or government was meeting with the most powerful president in the world.However, the visit of Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, who was received will all the protocols for a head of state with overwhelming diplomatic overtures, was different.The visit carried strategic objectives in every sense of the word and it sent grim messages to the enemies of the Kingdom, as one expert has put it.He said the enemies were crying every...

The mentally-ill individuals in our neighborhoods
Al-Watan newspaperTHE physically and mentally weak, including women, children and the elderly as well as individuals with various disabilities, always face various types of abuse in society. People who are exposed to or witness such acts of violence are asking: What are the best ways to reduce the suffering of its victims?It is important to understand that violence takes different forms: physical abuse such as beating, torture, imprisonment and sexual assault; and psychological abuse such as verbal abuse, insulting and making the victim feel that he or she is worthless either by threat, intimidation or neglect.When you neglect a person who is under your care, whether they are children, the elderly or the handicapped, it means you do not meet their basic needs, thus negatively affecting the...

Saudization in car rental shops
Al-Jazirah newspaperWE have to think about what must be done after Saudizing jobs in the car rental offices before discussing Saudization of another sector. In order to improve the quality of work in the sector we need to develop the skills of Saudi workers by providing them with necessary training.I am happy that the Ministry of Labor and Social Development and its supporting arms like the Human Resources Development Fund (Hadaf) are thinking in the same direction.The issue of working both morning and evening shifts seems to be one of the obstacles faced by the newly employed young Saudis in the car rental sector. It can be solved by granting financial advantages to those who work two shifts or by employing more workers. This way a problem can be used as an opportunity to make extra money...
