These programs represent indicators that confirm the availability of the components of the academic structure and research expertise of the scientific research system at the university and the necessary support for all components, which makes the university look forward to establishing a pioneering research entity represented by the Dr. Nasser bin Ibrahim Al-Rasheed Chair for Hail Studies.
The reason for allocating a research chair in studies of the Hail region is that the national entity is based in accordance with what is settled in the constitutions of human thought and in the origins and rules of civilizations and the development of human urbanization, upon which the philosophy of the human and natural sciences has unanimously agreed and confirmed by the evidence of history and the implications of modern and contemporary reality - any national entity is based. On two pillars that represent two foundations for building nations: place and people. Through human interaction with the place, he creates a documented history of his homeland and civilization with its intellectual, social, cultural and economic dimensions, which are underlined by the leadership in successive and parallel civilizational and national renaissance projects to achieve the state the position it aspires to in the competitive race that is considered the permanent feature in the path of contemporary human societies. A place, with its many geographical meanings, its characteristics, its components, its antiquities, its heritage, its wealth, its climate, its opportunities, and its challenges, is considered a place. The first basic pillar in the structure of the nation and an effective influence on patterns of local, regional and international interactions. Man is the main component of geographical existence, present and future, and represents a renewable resource as the basic force for survival and development. Accordingly, building the human being and affirming the value of the place are two renewable sources for forming national sentiment, consolidating trends, formulating awareness and forming the mental image of successive generations of loyalty and belonging, patriotism and citizenship. This is attested to by what is confirmed by the origins of the Arabic language and the science of semantics, that the homeland is the house in which one resides (man’s homeland and place). ) A homeland that buzzes with a homeland: he resided in it. The plural of homeland is homelands: a person’s place of residence, and his soul is settled on the matter: citizenship is attributed to it: the source of the verb is watan meaning he participated in the place of residence and birth because the verb is in the form of a subject, and the meaning of patriotism is mentioned in the terminology in the sense of love of the homeland in a clear reference to the feelings of love and connection to the homeland and what emerges. From emotional responses.
The same meaning confirms that influence and influence, or interaction and activation, is a natural phenomenon and a ruling criterion, not only in the field of exchanged quotations between civilizations, but also within the framework of citizenship that brings together man, his hopes, place, and its conditions, as the reality of societies attests beyond any doubt to the influence of place on man, and the activation of human thought. For the place, which produces a creative composition that is compatible and in harmony with the latest national concepts produced by humanity, despite its diverse backgrounds and multiple sources, and the development of its visions and ambitions according to a general national context that controls the paths of its movement and directs its energies to achieve its goals.
If love of the homeland is an instinct among all the peoples of the Earth, then there are special ties that unite man and place, and these ties work in confirming meanings, strengthening trends, strengthening the bonds of national bond, loving it, giving priority to its interests, sacrificing for it, and being proud of it. However, these meanings are Trends do not exist naturally or naturally, and do not occur by chance or arbitrarily, nor are they granted as grants from external sources. Rather, they are acquired to the extent that society’s institutions make efforts for them along the paths of knowledge that achieve the organic connection between man and place, the emotion that achieves interconnection and social cohesion with the present and future, and the belief that brings together and mixes. Between psychological and cultural components, national achievements and meanings.
