🌞GOOD MORNING☕️
👪👪International Day of Friendship – July 30, 2021👪👪
International Day of Friendship was designated by the United Nations General Assembly (U.N.). On July 30, we step back and get thankful for these relationships worldwide, as they promote and encourage peace, happiness, and unity. The U.N. encourages governments, community groups, and other organizations to coordinate activities and events that celebrate the friendships that we keep close to us. Many events focus on reconciliation, bridging understanding and consensus, and finding comfort in those friendships that feel like home.
HISTORY OF INTERNATIONAL DAY OF FRIENDSHIP
We live in a tough world. Between miscommunications, mistreatment, lack of trust, discrimination, and cultural discord, prioritizing peace seemingly has less of a presence in the global society. There really is no reason for the world not to exist in some harmonious form. We have the United Nations to thank for helping to remind us all that there is some good in this world. We were first introduced to International Day of Friendship in 2011; this special day goes beyond connecting people and builds bridges among cultures, countries, and even ideologies.
Friendship and connections are synonymous with bonding, and building those common bonds goes beyond sharing a trait, characteristic, or favorite pastime with another person or group, but also includes promoting a global commitment and understanding of diversity and inclusion. Even in our differences, we can find common ground. Physical appearances, differences of opinions, political views, tastes, music, and more are not reasons to separate people. Relationships are bigger than that, and the UN works to promote kindness and togetherness every July.
Celebrating friendships through things as simple as a brief note, a coffee hang out, going to a concert, or taking a trip to the mall are all ways to find commonalities. Again, we have more in common than we all realize. And any idea that minimizes the amount of hatred and disdain spread throughout the world is the kind we want to be shared. We’d like to think that something we all have in common.
Before the U.N. made its designation, the very first World Friendship Day was proposed in 1958 by the World Friendship Crusade, which is an international civil organization that campaigns to foster peaceful culture through friendship.
📑National Support Public Education Day – July 30, 2021✏️
There’s no doubt that children are the future of any country, and National Support Public Education Day on July 30 aims to raise awareness about this fact. Education is a basic and important right of all human beings. A nation can only hope to move forward in all aspects of life if its citizens are sufficiently educated and learned. By learning about the intricacies of science, technology, social issues, and commerce, people will be able to pinpoint which sectors need improvement and which can lead them to a most advantageous position on the world stage. This is why we should strive to support public education by raising our voices for it.
HISTORY OF NATIONAL SUPPORT PUBLIC EDUCATION DAY
The first National Support Public Education Day was commemorated in 2010. If we are to look at the history of formal schooling, many records state that Egypt may have had precedent in forming a school system. During the reign of Mentuhotep II in 2000 B.C., schools were developed to educate rich and influential people’s children. These pupils were all male, and they only included royal families, ministerial staff, temple administrators, and physicians. Females, be it royal or otherwise, stayed at home to learn about familial and household duties. As time passed, more and more people enrolled their children into schools, and this time, females also had the opportunity to become pupils. One example of the earliest records of females going to school can be traced back to the early Islamic eras. Once Prophet Muhammad, the last prophet of Islam, started preaching, he ensured that females were given their due rights to education. He believed that an educated individual, male or female, can work to progress the Islamic society in sectors of science, technology, and other areas of life.
Coming to the public education sector in America, it wasn’t developed until public schools were established and encouraged. The Founding Fathers of the U.S. were of the strong belief that a truly democratic country can only become strong if all of its citizens have access to education. If people are educated, they can be more aware of the political and social issues plaguing the nation. People will also be able to make better decisions when taking part in civilian duties and elections. Being aware of their rights, morals, and virtues would allow people to lead a good life and become better human beings in the long run. Thus, schooling would teach people to critically analyze the information presented to them, and make better decisions as a result of it. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to education. Moreover, the public education sector needs funding to not only provide better education but also to retain its employees and students
📚Paperback Book Day – July 30, 2021📚
If you are an avid reader, you will know the joy that comes with reading paperback books, and to celebrate this very joy, Paperback Book Day is commemorated on July 30. Books, both fiction and nonfiction, contain worlds of wonderment. They allow us to explore new insights into all matters of life, death, and beyond. By reading, we also become better at vocabulary and other linguistic skills. Books are also a great way to understand and develop emotional skills like empathy. Knowing the countless benefits of paperback books, which include being able to easily carry them with you anywhere, publishers opted for the much more cost-friendly option of softcovers/softbacks over hardcovers/hardbacks.
HISTORY OF PAPERBACK BOOK DAY
Paperback Book Day is an ode to the paperback books in the world and the journey they’ve come along since their inception. Many people think of the English publishing house, Penguin, when they think of paperback history. While it is true that paperbacks’ popularity on a large scale took place when Penguin started commercializing the idea in the 20th century, the history of paperbacks goes further back to the 17th century. European countries like Germany and France were already publishing stories and papers in the paperback-like format then. James Fenimore Cooper, an American writer, also published frontier stories in a similar style. With the invention of the printing press and other publication technologies, more and more stories were being published in a similar paperback fashion on a greater scale. The publishing world’s ‘dime novels’ and ‘penny dreadfuls’ are, in fact, products of the same business phenomena.
Coming back to Penguin, its owner, Allen Lane, was going bankrupt due to his publishing business, The Bodley Head, facing a heavy recession during the 1930s, at the start of the Depression period. Lane was riding a train with Agatha Christie and her husband. At the time, Christie had already published her works with Lane’s publishing house. Lane was troubled with his failing business, and he was on the lookout for any idea that would save it. Whilst waiting for his train, he was browsing through a station stall for something to read. Upon finding nothing good except for magazines and low-quality paperback fiction, he realized that he could bank on the idea of high-quality paperbacks, which would automatically raise profits by allowing more people to access good fiction at lower price rates. From then on, paperbacks became a favorite with publishers and readers. Many new books first come out in paperbacks before they are released in hardbacks.
