A Teacher must write a plot


By Prof Dr Sohail Ansari  “Whoever teaches some knowledge will have the reward of the one who acts upon it, without that detracting from his reward in the slightest.”
( Sunan Ibn e Majah, Book of Sunnah, Hadith no 240, Classified as Hasan By Allama Albani)
    Teacher is to be a director
·        Every class must have a plot that occurs. Every story needs a plot or events that give the characters something to react to. In a similar way, minus plot, the students would just be sitting around doing nothing except listening lectures. The Passive learning is to be followed by the active learning, and for that we need events in a class happen.


Hybridity is a cross between two separate races, plants or cultures. A hybrid is something that is mixed, and hybridity is simply mixture. Hybridity is not a new cultural or historical phenomenon.

Cultural hybridization is when different cultrues combine in a way to produce new ideas and communication.

The concept of (cultural) hybridity has gained prominence within a broad range of cultural and social theories since the 1980s, most notably within postcolonial studies, cultural studies, and globalization theory. The importance and influence of hybridity theory is thus closely related to an increased awareness of global cultural flows, influences, and interdependences, both historically and contemporarily. Furthermore, focusing on hybridity and hybridization is a way of conceptualizing difference that aims to avoid and undermine ideas of boundedness and closed identity and hence also avoid the essentialism that haunts theories of multiculturalism
