| MESSAGE FROM FOUNDER PRESIDENT HRH Prince El-Sharif Mohammed Bin King Faisal (I) El-Hashemite December 1984 RASIT General Assembly meeting |
“The Human being is the most valuable thing on this earth, however he rarely acts in light of this fact. This
could explain the presence of many problems that increase and interact till it become a real source of threat to
human life on this planet. Therefore we are in need to highlighting those problems that education & science
may find solutions for. If we will be able to expand our work at RASIT through establishing different specialized
committees that will review, discuss, and consider in a scientific pattern of thinking, the recent problems and its
future impact of humanity, then we can find a cure or at least a way for treating such problems…..
From my experience, I think RASIT is in need for a Culture Relations & Art Committee, because human beings
cannot survive in science alone; literatures, art, and music are very important in developing of human thinking.
Some may think that the human problems have increased because of the advances in science & technology,
as many of such problems did not exist 20 or 30 years ago.
In my opinion, unlike the old days, we humans started to have this kind of thoughts because we negated the
need for literature, art, and music in our lives. If we will go back to the historic development of science we can
see how literature, art and music had a great impact on identifying the problems and the needs to improve the
quality of human living that in turn helped scientists to develop their research work. In the past, scientists
worked closely with artists and literature writers to transfer the magnificence and beauty of scientific
development to non-specialized individuals.
Unfortunately, in the recent years we rarely find such collaboration and this resulted in the growth of fears and
anxiety among people preventing new development in science & technology, due to the lack of public
understanding of the artistic values of such advances. Furthermore, scientists nowadays do not have the
proper knowledge in the arts and literature, because of the fast advances in their fields, which gave them no
time to read or even think about the value of art and literature in improving their work & skills or because
science colleges no longer teaches literature and art in their curriculums.
As we all are here meeting to discuss our future work for the benefit of mankind, it is our duty at RASIT to
address these issues through the Culture Relations & Art Committee programs. I hope that the programs will
be directed towards the benefit of science, technology, health, public understanding and above all improving
the human conscience and thinking”.
