Let’s make up History!

History generally refers to actual events that happened in the past. It is
typically recorded in written documents, although there are other mediums.
Most people acknowledge that the majority of heavily documented events did in fact happen, to one degree or another. Ideologies and interpretations vary widely, of course. For example, most people believe that John F Kennedy was shot. It is highly documented and easy to prove thanks to the many witnesses, medical documents, and the Super 8 mm film of the event caught by Abraham Zapruder. The motivations behind the assasination, the debatable conspiracy theories, the guilt of Lee Harvey Oswald – these are all open to discussion and this discussion/argument is recognized as part of a functional democracy.

However, it takes a different kind of person to believe, for example, that
Elvis is alive. This would require believing a fact not only with no evidence
to support it, but with a wealth of evidence to dispute it. Someone believing this to be true would either be incredibly stupid, or possibly have a mental disorder/disease to facilitate the irrational belief.

And we can liken these types of people with Holocaust deniers. Of course, just add hate. Since the Holocaust is not only highly documented, but the sheer amount of deaths is unfathomable, it simply cannot be missed by anyone. 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust, between 1.1 and 1.6 at Auschwitz alone. Millions of other people died as well. It takes a thick skull to ignore even the pre-war census, which was an underestimation in itself. There are lists of victim’s names. Concentration and labor camps can be toured. So what can we chalk up this spreading belief to? Read the rest of this entry »

Language is a very powerful tool of communication. It helps us to connect with others, sharing our ideas and thoughts. The power of language and thereby communication enables international trade and commerce and helps forge international relations. To understand a person, it is vital to understand his / her language. While every individual is well versed with his mother tongue, to understand a foreign language is not an easy task. At individual level, we can manage the situation by learning a few main words of a language and take help from the dictionary, but at Business, Medical, International Conferences, this trick does not work.

Perfect understanding among the delegates attending the International conference with the Speaker with the help of the simultaneous interpreter will hold the key. The role of simultaneous interpreter is very crucial.

Simultaneous Interpretation plays a vital role in the success / failure of any International conference. An international conference could be of 50 to 200 delegates, depending on the number of invitees / size of conference. Even though English is the most common language used,there are other equally prominent languages like French, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Urdu, Dutch, German, Hindi etc. to name a few. If the Chinese Government is holding an International Conference on the subject of population control or Germans are presenting a Medical Research paper on the Control of Cancer, the conference would most likely be in Chinese or German. For delegates of other countries to understand the substance of the conference is very crucial because these are the welfare topics which will affect the population of their respective countries.
