What if…

What if Michael Dell was right? The biggest tech companies are struggling in a crisis that seems not to have a end. Cisco, HP, even Microsoft have announced layouts and reduction of employee. We can say this is a common issue for a moment of crisis, companies need to rise up ROI and cost reduction is a key factor. It’s also undoubted that laying off personnel is the easiest way to reduce costs. But is this crisis just a matter of costs and ROI? or there are deeper reasons that are hitting those companies? The economical crisis is just…

Has ever been anything called Palestina?

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 08/21/2014 Editorials, Editorials in English

One of the most common statement I have heard lately is that has not ever existed a “Palestinian” state. This is historically not correct and it is quite easy to find historical sources that talk about “Palestine” as a geographical and political entity. Specific references to “Palestine” date back nearly five hundred years before “the time of Jesus.” In the 5th Century BCE, Herodotus, the first historian in Western civilization, referenced “Palestine” numerous times in chronicle of the ancient world, The Histories, including the following passage describing “Syrians of Palestine”: “…they live in the coastal parts of Syria; and that region of…

World Dictionary New Words and Meaning: jew

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 08/21/2014 Editorials, Editorials in English

Words change with changing the time: change in meaning, pronunciation, spelling and so on. Today I’ve learned that there is another word I were not aware of the modern meaning, this word is Jew. Actually this is a word that have had different meanings through the recent and not so recent history, in my naïve vision the word was referring to someone who is a member of a specific religion or religious group but today I’ve learned a more specific set of meanings. Accordingly to social networks and broadcast media today the word assume different meaning but somehow I’ve been able…

World Dictionary New Words and Meaning: Communist

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 08/21/2014 Editorials, Editorials in English

They’re “Communists“. – This is a common way to express a feeling against someone. Communist and communism have lost the original meaning to be used, nowadays, as a synonymous of “Bad Guy that is against Freedom, Truth, Democracy, Life, God and everything holy and so, as a matter of fact, terrorist, killer and all the worse” After the end of the so-called “cold War” and the downfall of the former USSR what is left is just an abused and empty word “communism” still used as a propaganda flag to show the “enemy” in a general way. If you’re against me so you’re “communist”, so it…

On the Hate Speech question

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 07/18/2014 Editorials, Editorials in English

Ok ok I understood that the first amendment in the US Constitution state the right of free speech. Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. this is an interesting text, since state clearly that the congress should not try to regulate in any way religion and freedom of speech. so apparently this means that any kind of speech should be…

A neverending chain of Hate

Today has been dedicated to the conflict between Israel and Palestine, dedicated because for some reasons I received some messages on the subject and I read some thread that made me think about this sad war. The first thing come to my attention has been a thread on twitter related to this pic. Is just me that I am naïve or there is something wrong with this Facebook page? This disgusting page comes from Facebook, those are the comments after that Israel artillery shot and killed some children in Palestine. There is no right that can justify such comments, they are disgusting for their…
