Violence, it both its most obvious and subtle forms, plays an integral part, serving as the basis of the story overall. First, violence can be found in its most obvious from in „The Assault“: in terms of physical violence, also eventually leading up to the claim that violence is playing an integral role in the book. The very first incident where such violence is displayed is when Fake Ploeg was shot dead in front of Steenwijk’s house, as it was known at that point until it was revealed that he was actually shot in front of the Kortewegs before being moved in front of Carefree. Before this incident had happened, the story had been going on in a peaceful manner. However, from this point on, it becomes obvious that the atmosphere becomes
In the images I chose for my Square of Hope, they all symbolize what comes to mind when I talk about the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The first image is the twin towers, after being hit by the aircraft that was hijacked. I recall September 11th, 2001 as being a sad day. I could feel the mixed emotions of the kids in my class and also the teachers as we heard the news on the TV and the intercoms. Although I was too young to understand why the towers were bombed, I was still able to comprehend that this had been a horrible attack against the U.S.

Turner writes of the role of communication plays in society to amplify change and what he terms as the playing out of a social drama. Eric Garner, a 43-year-old African American man, on July 19th 2014 was killed when a white police officer constrained him in a chokehold. The resulting response of protest and gathering by the African American community was the first sign or breach that the norm of behavior of the police needed to change. Turner’s reference to breach of norm is the first step in effecting social change. The issue of police brutality struck a chord in the community and the communication began to amplify when the video went viral on YouTube.
In the case of the building of a mosque in Baulkham Hills in 2003, the council rejected the application to build. The Municipal mayor said he was “ concerned about the girls and ladies in the community” ( Dunn, klocker and Salabay 2007, 569). This notion was linked back to the gang rapes of 2000, where Anglo-cletic girls were raped by 14 middle eastern boys.

The image of Islamic men being dangers to women, and having violence inbred in their culture is a prime example of essentialistic stereotypes.
