It’s not okay because it causes more money to be wasted towards people that shouldn’t be helped at all. The morals of these people who choose to be homeless are very questionable. Not only their morals, but their mental stability. Why would anyone in the right mind choose to be homeless? It makes no sense.
Still to this day discrimination is present throughout the U.S. many Arabs dress differently than do other Americans; their cuisine is drastically different and their traditions are different. All of this can lead to Americans being afraid of the unknown or unfamiliar. After 9/11 discrimination against Arab has been decreasing but the number violent crimes against them remains higher than even before 9/11. I look at Arab Americans differently now than before because not
This did not run smoothly with the Iranian people they felt as if their whole country was changing into the western society of America. The Iran’s have little knowledge about America, due to the horrible international relationship and the fact that most Iranians believe that America is the devils land. When Pahlavi tired to separate church and state within Iran Its people revolted. Suddenly their way of life was being overtaken by this western civilization they knew little of, besides some of the scare tactics that they witnessed in the media. Pahlavi reign leads to the Iran Hostage crisis, in which one of the hostage takers said “You have no right to complain, because you took our country hostage in 1953”.
He paints a picture of greed and corruption on so many levels that one would wonder why the Empire survived Justinian’s regain. If this was the only history we had from the sixth century one might want to believe everything he said because it is a very compelling story. However there are many records and writings that have survived that conflict with this, even Procopius’ own books show how effective Justinian was at war and rebuilding the city. I think it is an important book however the reader needs to understand that the author had a heavy bias and likely ulterior motives when writing
What Impact did the Crusades Have on the Islamic World? The Crusades was designed to take control of Jerusalem from Muslim control, and to allow the Christians to regain power and influence. However, it had negative impacts on the Muslim world because it reversed their power, the Muslims could not spread their religion as before, and so they developed bad feelings towards the West for a very long time. The Muslims took control of Jerusalem for a very long time, and this made the Christians feel annoyed and displeased because they considered Jerusalem to be the center of Christendom. The Muslims had established their rule which the Christians saw as a direct threat to their religious interests and ideology.
Which is the American culture, this is a diverse culture of many origins and many races do not know much or if anything of their natural origin there homeland or their culture. This is a travesty in itself, for what we as a whole do not know is a loss for all. Assimilation is not a good thing and it has been and is still being forced on people to go with the flow of things, blend in, do not rock the boat. However, why should people be forced to hide who they are, where’s the freedom in
He uses the symbol of the telescreen to establish the theme of movements and actions, therefore reiterating the idea that Oceania is a totalitarian state. `` It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself- anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide``(page65). The constant censorship of a citizen`s life stops them from thinking or acting against the party, thus meaning that they live constantly in fear of being both physically and psychologically hurt.
Many people believe that racial profiling should be prohibited because it is offensive to American values. Malkin disputes this and insists that, “…the ethnic activists and civil-liberties groups who object most strenuously to the use of racial, ethnic, religious, and nationality classifications during war support the use of similar classifications to ensure ‘diversity’ or ‘parity’ in peacetime.” (493). However, Iftikhar strongly disagrees and believes that, “the most disturbing legal trend in America has been the growing disparity in how American Muslims are treated under the law.” She explains how the reports of civil rights cases, a majority of which were Muslim hate crimes, have increased tremendously since the 9/11 attacks due to racial profiling. Many Muslims were accused of crimes they didn’t do and were treated awful. While Iftikhar understands that America is focused on keeping everyone happy and winning over people abroad, she strongly states in her piece that, “it is high time that the Bush administration try spreading a little American democracy here---while winning the hearts and minds of Americans by treating all people equally under the law.” (497).
The ensuing events were also volatile and unpredictable as American troops were sent to Afghanistan and other related developments unfolded between Pakistan and India, and between Israel and the Arab world. Media usage increased as people sought to find out about the events, understand the causes and monitor new developments. Unfortunately, higher media usage does not necessarily translate to better understanding, given that the President's explanations consisted of naive statements such as "Why do they hate us so much? They hate our freedoms – our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote..." and then "I'm amazed that there's such misunderstanding of what our country is about that people would hate us ... I just can't believe it because I know how good we are."
Stanislav Prasolov 04/06/13 Diversity and It’s Discontents When moving to another country is always not easy because it takes a lot of time to get use to new society and culture. You get treated differently when people find out you’re an immigrant from different country, some people would bully you and some would not pay attention to you at all because they would look at you as an “the other”. Even if you were born in United States and your nationality is Spanish and you speak fluent English, the American people would still judge you as “the other” just like Arturo Madrid the author of Diversity and It’s Discontents. Madrid had a hard time to fit in, he was looked at the “other” which means not fitting in the group
