Man is a social animal, says Aristotle. It means that man is created to congregate with others, whether during hunting or large assemblies. But strangely enough, the philosophers who made similar statements in the past preferred to live alone, away from the society they tried to change. Far from the crowd.
The concept of a “family” is essentially the same in every culture around the world. Generally, a nuclear family includes one’s parents and siblings – these are your immediate relatives. An extended family includes your aunts, uncles, and cousins – people you may not always see or live with.
It is a Wednesday morning and I’m standing in my bedroom. The windows are open and it is cold. I don’t mind, however. I’m lost in thought, trying to come up with the words to describe what the day has in store for Eritrea. I begin thinking about my first year in college.
The interaction between science and cultural heritage has taken great steps over the past several decades.

Now we know that whenever we plant the seed of that tree, we will have an orange tree.
