Je suis roumain (aussi)!

Pe data de 29 octombrie incepand cu orele 14:00 pe Parvis des Droits de l'Homme la Trocadero, Paris a avut loc manifestaţia " Je suis Roumain" ("Si eu sunt roman!",) Prin această manifestatie s-a dorit sa se denunţe imaginea negativă a comunitatii romanesti creata de catre media franceză . Manifestantii au purtat o serie de panouri si afise cu scopul de a contribui la crearea unei imagini mai echilibrate a comunitatii romane decat cea vehiculata in media. De asemenea ei au discutat cu publicul deoarece o schimbare a perceptiilor colective nu poate fi creata decat prin comunicare si prin contactul efectiv cu oamenii din jur.

"Misterele istoriei" III

Reluand un citat din New York Times care-mi place mie mult: "Before the glory that was Greece and Rome, even before the first cities of Mesopotamia or temples along the Nile, there lived in the Lower Danube Valley and the Balkan foothills people who were ahead of their time in art, technology and long-distance trade.

For 1,500 years, starting earlier than 5000 B.C., they farmed and built sizable towns, a few with as many as 2,000 dwellings. They mastered large-scale copper smelting, the new technology of the age. Their graves held an impressive array of exquisite headdresses and necklaces and, in one cemetery, the earliest major assemblage of gold artifacts to be found anywhere in the world.", mai pun odata una langa alta niste imagini. Oare de ce sunt toti imbracati la fel?
