#freedomofknowledge

This week is Banned Books Week, which celebrates the freedom to read, celebrates banned and challenged books, and highlights individuals who have been persecuted for writings they have produced, circulated, or read. I have always believed strongly in the freedom to read, as I believe the suppression of knowledge is one of the worst things a human being can do. (In short, I believe the suppression of knowledge creates a culture of fear and superstition and prevents the growth of critical thinking.) The stack I am sharing with you today consists of novels from my own personal collection that have all been listed as “Frequently Challenged” by the American Library Association, and all of them are considered classic novels (all of these except Lord of the Flies are also written by American authors). Do you have any frequently banned or challenged books in your collection? Do you have a favorite banned or challenged book? Feel free to share your picks in the comments! #bannedbooksweek #americanlibraryassociation #freedomtoread #freedomofknowledge #literacyawareness #tokillamockingbird #thecatcherintherye #gonewiththewind #theawakening #thegreatgatsby #beloved #thegrapesofwrath #lordoftheflies #afarewelltoarms #harperlee #jdsalinger #katechopin #fscottfitzgerald #tonimorrison #johnsteinbeck #williamgolding #ernesthemingway https://www.instagram.com/p/B2wpEBDpcwz/?igshid=1q2h5r8osrpa7

Apakah masih punya waktu untuk melihat keharmonian diseluruh dunia. Mereka sekadar mampu merenung tanpa punya upaya dan menanti keajaiban. #alamtologi #masabayu #istanbul #freedomofknowledge (at Yıldız, Istanbul, Turkey) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzBHaBBBR9r/?igshid=13ahxj470v1eo

Apabila kita berbicara maka pastikan setiap yang disampaikan adalah kebenaran walau pahit untuk dilafazkan. Sukar berbicara apabila tiadanya kejujuran dan jangan berjanji jika tidak mampu melaksanakannya. Dan yang melengkapkan adalah amanah yang diberikan janganlah dikhianati. #alamtologi #masabayu #istanbul #besiktas #freedomofknowledge #islamicscience #musafiralam (at Besiktas) https://www.instagram.com/p/By0kQXDBbH0/?igshid=1804fhcg5swge

Kerap kita mengimpikan sesuatu dalam hidup tetapi tidak disertakan dengan perancangan dan usaha yang jitu. Maka itu adalah “MIMPI DISIANG HARI”. Kemudian impian itu kita jadikan sasaran dalam setiap detik dan akhirnya ia memakan diri sendiri kerana tidak menjadi realiti. Dunia khayalan adalah dimensi yang sangat penuh dengan manusia2 kecewa. Mereka membina dunia baru dalam diri sendiri dan melupakan dunia sebenar yang sedang dilalui. Lalu keluhan dan rintihan akan menjadi irama dalam masyarakat yang hanyut dengan impian tanpa perlaksanaan. Apabila semakin hanyut dengan “KHAYALAN” yang direka sendiri maka sekeliling akan menjadi sasaran melepaskan kekecewaan. Maka disini datangnya kelompok yang menjaja ruang khayalan kepada golongan bermimpi disiang hari. Watak2 hero dan heroin akan dipapar pada kaca media lalu hanyutlah mereka meniti kesah khayalan yang membawa jauh ke jurang fantasi. Hidup didunia adalah realiti dan bukan fantasi. Lihatlah sekeliling dan tanya pada diri sendiri..”ADAKAH AKU SEDANG BERMIMPI ATAU INILAH REALITI” Salam dari Istanbul 🙏🏻 #alamtologi #masabayu #musafiralam #freedomofknowledge #turkey #istanbul #islamicscience (at Besiktas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byk6K2IhNqm/?igshid=16jvokbg5iose

This is the most controversial topic in any of existing cosmology disciplines. Great scholars, physicists, researchers and astronomers have come up with various explanations, experiments and theories to back up their stands on the position of the Earth. It begun with the geocentric model; where the Earth as the center of the universe. Then, Copernicus introduced the heliocentric model; where the sun is at the center of the universe. There was also a Jovicentric orbit; an orbit around planet Jupiter. Technically, there was a series of intellectual arguments to define the true location of the Earth; being the fundamental discipline in science. Ptolemy was the first person responsible to introduce the geocentric model. He lived around 150 AD, and elaborated the geocentric (earth-centered) model of the solar system that prevailed until around 1500 AD. #alamtologi #masabayu #cosmology #islamicscience #freedomofknowledge (at Çekmeköy, İstanbul) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByEX-koBzOv/?igshid=1a1868f7l45q6
