Here students from the Arab world share topics about religion, their cultures, and social life.  Topics include, marriage and divorce, Islam, women, sharing food recipes, and cultural conflicts.

---- Having peers from different countries motivates me to share my culture and religion. It is nice to introduce such topics in one writings. And in the same time I feel that I am forever waiting for them to share the same, because it is really nice to read others perspectives on life, especially when those others are from places different from yours.

---students in OWCp do heir best to represent themselves and their cultures through creating positive dialogues with people from other cultures for the sake of creating more global understanding and enlightening them of their role as peace makers.
 

--We Saudis, don’t have the chance to interact with native speakers of English, it is because our culture, and then for us women social and religious boundaries make it almost impossible. So using the Internet a lot of problems are solved, and we can practice our English and interact in the best ways ever. For sure we have to use the Internet to the highest extent when it gets to learning.

--I start reading many topics written by native speakers along with their everyday life. This has helped me to understand the American culture. The cultural differences can be eliminated through more interaction and opening the gates to more understanding about the others on this way we can make Americans and others to understand us through frequented interaction

-  I think Our Americans fellows who share with us here should know by now that we are not what their media is feeding them. We don’t hate Americans or westerns, yet, we do respect them for their contribution to the knowledge and science. I think American members changed their view about Arabs and witnessed that Arab males and females are well educated people. I hope they deliver this image to others about Arabs.

-Teachers need to allow students to breathe and grow on their own freewill.   Knowledge can flow both ways, we can all learn from each other.  When that circulation is interrupted, that task of writing becomes a very daunting one and learning becomes a means to achieve the grade.  Once that cycle is broken, there is more opportunity to enjoy learning and be more comfortable with sharing ideas through writing. 

-- OWCp also created a place for Arabic males and females to share, read and discuss various topics that can not be tackled in real life for its sensitivity.

- I think such conflicts usually happen among friends. At the end I’m sure they  both  understand that these are just words express an individual opinion. However, I think being moderate and understanding would help solve any problem of this kind.
