(Gore 9) Describing the tons of people worried and fearful about our government.

Yet when Djelila is among other Muslims, such as Majid and gang, she is shamed for not practicing their religion properly. On the other hand, Sohane is a model of Islamic faith, practicing her faith at home and at school. She wants to be part of her society while staying steadfast to her religion, but her school doesn’t allow her to wear her hijab. This leads to conflict and tension seen in many places around France. Persecuted Muslims feel they need to retaliate which further hurts the vision of Muslims around the world, such as the Charlie Hebdo shooting which was caused out of hate towards satirical writers making fun of Islam.

In fact, according to a study of attitudes towards Muslim Americans post 9/11, after 9/11 “the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reported a 1,700 percent increase of hate crimes against Muslim Americans between 2000 to 2001” (Khan). While discrimination towards Muslim Americans existed before, after 9/11 the general public’s view of Muslim Americans rapidly declined and resulted in an increase in the Muslim-terrorist stereotype as well as many individuals having to face unwanted hostility. In a study on microaggressions directed towards Muslim Americans, a participant shared, “’A truck driver said to my mom, ‘Say hi to Osama,”’ presuming that because she was Muslim she was associated with terrorism (Nadal). While in another case, a participant described how because his name was Osama, his seventh grade teacher “accidentally” called him Osama bin Laden during attendance, “but [he knew] she was doing it on purpose [because] she kept doing it over and over” (Nadal). These subtle actions are forms of aggressions based out of contempt, hated, and fear towards Muslim Americans.

They procreate up lies that the stepparent is beating them with a weapon or the siblings. The lies affect the happiness of the parents for the sake of they cannot be with the person they love. The lies do not affect the person telling the lie. When they lie, they do not know how the other person feels about the situation. The crucible can still happen today, thanks to teenage girls that still lie almost everyday of the year.

There have been many cases in which bullying has occurred due to racial differences. Our country today, has recently been divided due to our new president. Trump has now become a “voice” for people who believe that segregation is the only way to keep our differences overt. One thing that always boggles my train of thought, is the reason behind this. Why do people feel the need to make other’s differences overt?

Afterwards, Mayor Raymond 's statement was met with backlash as it drew national attention. The Muslim population of Lewiston stated that the mayor 's comments elevated tensions within the community and did not help the rumours circulating that Muslims were receiving more government assistance, stealing housing from locals, and taking jobs from the residences of Lewiston, (WOSU, Muslims In Maine, 2002). Somalis are known for entrepreneurial skills, in starting a business out of nothing, and they value education very highly. Islam is one of the three Abrahamic faiths, like Christianity and Judaism, Islam practices the belief of one God. Allah in Arabic means God and the submission to Allah are the most important belief in the Islamic

It has gotten a lot of recognition not only in America but other places too. Transgender youth, as Leelah, that grow up in very conservative christian families, amongst other religions, are told their whole lives how wrong it is, making them hate themselves. And if they are ever sent to a therapist it's almost always one who's biased and who says the exact things their paretns told them their whole life, and then the whole concept of their gender identity being wrong gets even more burned into their heads and they get even more convinced that there's something wrong with them. When in fact therapists are supposed to be very objective in their proffesion but instead in very religious areas bring their believes into the work place. Because misgendering you're child doesn't count as abuse and because most transgender teens who commit suicide never become older than 18 and therefor never gets the chance to be who they really are because the law makes it impossible for kids under 18 to transition by themselves, about 50% of trans teens never become adults, they die young not seeing any other way out, and are then grieved by their families as the gender they never

This has an adverse impact on their mental, social, and physical health. Many may presume that once the child’s gun is confiscated, the problem is solved; however, this is far from reality; getting a gun away from a child is one objective, and the rehabilitation process is another. Amnesty International is running a campaign to raise awareness of this major underlying issue. The problem starts with society. According to source 1, the poor and less educated become the victims due to the lack of insight on this major scam offering the children some

The doctors thought that the parents were harming the treatment by not being compliant and the parents thought that the doctors were hurting Lia by giving her so much medicine. The Lee family had a different culture and spoke a different language than that of the doctors, and this lead to misunderstandings. The Lee family thought that sickness is caused by a dab (evil spirit) and the doctors thought of it in a biological manner. The biggest health issue the Lee family faced was Lia’s Epilepsy, or how the called it qaug dab peg. According to Fadiman

One of the biggest controversies surrounding the events of September 11th focuses on whether the Bush administration actually allowed the attacks to occur so that the U.S. could increase its presence in the Middle East to gain control of its resources. This controversy also sparks debate on the validity of the 9/11 Commission Report. The United States has been the main catalyst in destabilizing the middle eastern countries, yet this idea that the U.S. government had a large part in creating the chaos in the Middle East and supporting terrorist groups, such as Al Qaeda, is still widely dismissed and rejected, despite obvious and overwhelming evidence. It took advantage of internal tensions, and blew them to great wars that left destruction in

Any identity can be used to create a social inequality and in this case the religious minority identity is being used to create injustice. Terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, reformed the religious minority identity of Muslim Americans which caused social inequality. After the terrorist attack on September 11 being a Muslim American is associated with the terrorism and created systematic inequality. Clearly the 9/11 attacks caused Muslims to be labeled negatively, but how it exactly happened is the important question here. Byng states that “a source of data for an empirical analysis of external identity construction is the media” (662).

The story of Henrietta Lacks involves an extreme violation of privacy. The book describes and discusses issues related to access of personal information from medical records, use of tissue samples, informed consent, and privacy invasion. These are issues that have raised debate, and are of concerns to me as a social worker. Other significant issues in this book relate to a lack of respect for Henrietta Lacks and her family, as well as justice, race, and social class. Being a social worker and reading this book made me so upset.

With those numbers, 4.5% of the people who are using ACA are illegal immigrants, that is more than the percent of people in the US who are using Obamacare (3.5%). A great deal of people in the US are skeptical of our current elected president due to his jerkish, angry, and sometimes racist persona. I believe some of Donald Trump’s stances are way too extreme, the travel ban on Muslims being the most outrageous. As a searching for solace young person, I myself have contemplated the beauty of Islam, read parts of the Quran, and I was amazed. Had I decided to become a Muslim, would I too be deported from the country I was born in?

After the 9/11 attacks Muslims have faced incredibly difficult barriers including being victims of bullying, proactive aggression, egocentric peers, and also struggling with internalizing tendencies and biracial identity. Depression, anxiety, and even post-traumatic stress disorder has been found among a population some call doubted traumatized (Clay, 2011). Although, they have found some strong coping methods that help aid them in how well they handle ongoing discrimination and harassment (Clay, 2011). According to the former editor in chief of the Journal of Muslim Mental Health, prior to 9/11 there was virtually nothing published that related to the mental health of Muslim Americans’ well-being, so determining the impact on Muslims in the
