They also live for the moment (present gratification). Some sociologists say that these attitudes and values prevent people from escaping poverty. For example, the attitudes and values of the poor mean that many don't stay in education, so they can't use qualifications to escape from their poverty. Some sociologists criticise this explanation of poverty because although it shows how people in poverty might adapt to their situation, it doesn't explain why people are in poverty in the first place. Another explanation of poverty is the poverty cycle.
The emotional and mental stress that would be caused by having such a Mosque, a daily reminder of the religion that those who carried out the bombings felt an allegiance to, is something that is completely unnecessary for those who have already been through such hardships. While the religion itself is clearly not responsible for the attacks, the fact that there is any type of reminder surrounding Ground Zero would be something that would be an awful memory provoker for multitudes of individuals. The fact that Ground Zero has become not only a site of individual remembrance for this attack, but also a place for American unity and a sense of commemoration for all fallen heroes that the country has seen, also means that this should be a respected area that is left alone and preserved. People come to Ground Zero to observe and respect their heroes as well as innocent civilians, and to change such an area would be a great disservice to those who died so
He also plays on the emotions, or the pathos of the audience by stating “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” (Kennedy) At the time, it seemed the entire world was fearful of nuclear war. This may have come across to many as evoking fear into those who do not stand for what he believes Americans stand for. He also uses words such as “we” and “my fellow Americans” in an attempt to tie himself to the audience. His tone was stern, his words chosen carefully, as to not speak over the heads of the audience, but to talk with them. On can not help but notice the Boston accent.
because of her burqa she was abused by many and was called a terrorist.. on one occasion was almost killed by a guy on the bus because his uncle had died in the 9/11 they also faced discrimination even tougher then the Andersons but they were proud of their Muslim identity and persevered and accepted the fact that they will not change for anybody especially people that did not like them in the first place and that God
and his philosophy on non violence, Malcom X on the other hand had a completely different view on how to achieve people their rights by supporting violence. For many young African Americans, the need for greater sovereignty from the white majority was on full swing. They took inspiration from Malcom X who was the minister of the Nation of Islam. He captivated listeners with denunciations of whites and demands for black self respect. (Jacqueline Jones) To his admirers, he was a man who was an audacious advocate for the Civil Rights of African Americans who indicted white American in the harshest of terms (violence) for their crimes against blacks.
Andy Eakes 12/11/10 P.4 Mr. Jimenez If you lived in Concord, Massachusetts during the 1830’s and 1840’s you would have definitely heard of Henry David Thoreau, but you wouldn’t have thought as highly of him as we do today. You would’ve most likely thought he was crazy. During Thoreau’s time there was a huge dispute over the American and Mexican border, which led to a war that angered many people. The only problem was that nobody wanted to oppose the government. Everyone kept their thoughts to themselves.
The attack was a very tragic and hurting time in American history. Everyone understands that people are going to have disagreements or even hate people, but that is no reason to kill many innocent people over a few simple things that those people can’t help nor
This, to me, surprises me considering I have Islamic cousins (I definitely have no negative feelings towards anybody because of their race or religion now). Not everything that resulted from 9 /11 was negative, though. The American people came together and helped each other pull through. People displayed nationalism, pride, solidarity, and together we commiserated. We mourned the death of the thousands of lives claimed by the ruthless actions of the terrorists.
Kaleemuddin says, “It brought a bit of terror in my chest. I’d wonder, ‘Why are they doing this? I’ve always been nice to them.’” This is an example of someone who was not involved in the terrorist acts eleven years ago, yet still gets discriminated against because of his ethnic background. Since 1961, people still do not have the decency to give others a chance. “Workers have complained of discrimination even in regions known for their diversity.” (New York Times).
Racism and Anti-Semitism: A Problem in America PHI 103 Kevin Lines November 28, 2011 Racism and Anti-Semitism: A Problem in America Racism in America is an ongoing problem in America which appears to have no end in sight. Since the beginning of time, which is evident even in the holy bible, racism and discrimination occurs quite frequently. Will it ever be an end to this ongoing problem? Sad to say, as long as inadequate information, ill-advised people and untrue rumors are in circulation in society, people will continue to dislike and hate other people for the color of their skin, nationality or the religion that they practice. We should look at the root of the problem in opposed to the surface.
