The Hair-Dresser..



Arabs need to admit that they exercise great deal of arrogance and priggism in exchange with each other..!! Certainly, they do the same with non-Arabs, which had developed the long lasting frauds with Africans and Asians; particularly the Indians.. Due to both colonization and supremacy, Arabs can’t practice the same with Europeans.. Anyway; I can understand the deep roots of such behavior; which had resulted not only from their position as brokers of the historical traditional salve trading; but also from the twisted interpretation of Quran and Hadeeth counting the privileges of Arab and Arabic culture.. It is a pre-Islamic behavior that was and still stronger than Islam itself.. No Offense..!!

Admitting so, on the contrary of falsely and commonly said of social tolerance and brotherhood; would enable the Arabs to address and correct the seeds of such awful behavior and concepts, rather than cover them up with temporary slogans and justifications.. In the march to build up a steady consistent and sustainable society, a person have to wisely, openly and unashamedly address all local components of social culture, taboos, stigmas and distinctions as well.. The political implications of Royals, Dynasties, Social Ranking had been marginalized since the industrial revolution, which had elevated the value of the steel worker as key element for prosperity.. However, supporters had find many ways to justify privileges for a person against another..

This came to my observation in one recent case of Tunisian powerful lady, Leila Trablsi, wife of Ben Ali, the ousted Tunisian President.. While the banned French book on her biography, had only ashamed her greed for wealth and powers, an article from a famous Arabic TV website had mentioned her early profession as a “hair-dresser” in a manner is well-known for Arabic speakers that is full of disgrace and stigma.. They also mentioned how her father was a street vendor for fruits and vegetables..!! As she is a product from the same culture, she would know what is sarcastically said about her, and certainly she had reacted viciously and ruthlessly in open cycles of actions and reactions..! This how social cracks rapidly grow, spread and deepened..

Absences of social justice and fairness is synonymous to rigid, painful and historical social hierarchy.. On the Humane chronicles, such was the evil of all declines and drawbacks from early equality among hunters to the early privileges among farmers.. Yes, without the social hierarchy, many achievements would never take place, as early divide of work had proven the need to various professions types, pay structures and leaderships among working people.. or among all people.. However, what is praised for the western hemisphere is their early realization, and subsequent implementations, that nature of profession has no privileges in assessing the workers themselves.. Yes, there are socioeconomic implications, yet controllable and set in coherent integration with the rest of the society, as no one is dispensable..!

Now, we can understand that no shame would stamp any type of profession to undertake, as far as delivered with integrity, lawfulness and transparency.. No shame if depression force a graduate to serve as a waiter, or a PhD holder to drive a taxi or a technocrat to farm a plot.. This is also why the term prostitution was replaced with a sex-worker, to meet the consent in certain communities.. This is also why employment restrictions against gender, ethnic groups or religious sects are widely condemned..

Unfortunately, the history of mankind is never written by fairness and equality, but by injustice and aggression..!!

Should we try to change that..??
