The policy of distinguishing people based on their political background during the Chinese Cultural Revolution greatly impacted the young girl Ji Li in several ways. She was separated from her father when he was taken away and imprisoned. Ji Li also experienced humiliation and trauma when the Red Guards searched her home and exposed her private life. Additionally, Ji Li was denied entrance to the best junior high school in Shanghai due to her family's poor political status, despite her good academic record, destroying her dreams and future opportunities. The essay argues that judging and treating children differently based on their parents' politics is unfair and can have long-lasting negative effects.
The document discusses several issues facing girl children globally, including discrimination, lack of access to education, health risks, and harmful practices. It notes that girls receive on average 4.4 fewer years of education than boys. To help address these issues, the Beijing Platform for Action called on governments and organizations to eliminate all forms of discrimination against girls, harmful cultural attitudes and practices, and promote girls' health, safety, education, and participation in social and political life.

The document discusses gender discrimination and inequalities faced by women in India. It notes that gender refers to the socio-cultural roles, behaviors and attributes assigned to men and women in a society. In India, women face discrimination from birth, with female infants often seen as a burden. Women and girls are subjected to neglect, unequal treatment and violence throughout their lives. They have lower literacy rates and less access to education and opportunities than men. The document outlines some of the key issues related to gender inequalities in India such as female foeticide, dowry practices, gender-based violence, and disparities in health and nutrition.
Parents Attitude towards Girl Child Education: A Sociological Study of HaryanaRHIMRJ Journal
Girls and boys have the same rights to get a quality education. But the ‘gender gap’ becomes painfully evident when
looking at who is in the classroom. Girls lag behind than boys at all levels of formal education in Haryana. Enrolment,
retention, transition and achievement rates for girls are always lower than that of boys. This means that even many of the girls
who are enrolled in school do not complete Secondary School education. There is the strong belief that negative parental
attitude must be blamed for the low level education of girls. The purpose of the present study was, therefore, to assessing
current parental attitude towards the education of girls children. The study analyzed the data from 50 parents, who had one or
more than one school going children. Out of these, 20 parents belonged to upper caste families, 15 parents belonged to middle
caste families and 15 parents belonged to lower caste families. The age range of the sample was 18-50 years, and they all
belonged to Bohar village of Rohtak District. 20-item questionnaire schedule was used for collecting data. The findings
showed that the overall attitude of the respondents was moderately favorable and positive towards schooling and education of
their children. The study reflects that generally parents would want to educate both boys and girls, however when there are
other demands on the family's resources that the education of the girl child is considered a secondary issue.
The document poses a series of sociological questions about factors that influence various personal and social issues, including abortion, patriotism, divorce, domestic violence, suicide, smoking, drinking, and drug abuse. Specifically, it asks about the role of education, social class, ethnicity, symbols, divorce rates, gender, and stereotypes in decisions and behaviors related to these topics.
This document discusses truancy - unexcused absences from school. It notes that truancy laws vary by state, defining truancy and legal requirements. The document also summarizes research showing that truancy is linked to various problems like delinquent behavior, substance abuse, dropping out of high school, and lower lifetime earnings. It concludes by discussing some court and community responses to truancy like laws linking driving privileges to school attendance.
The document discusses the lifestyles of youth in India. It notes that while youth make up a large portion of the population, their lifestyle is often confined to technology, nightlife, and material possessions. Some key issues with youth lifestyle are discussed, such as health problems from excessive screen time, viewing social interactions only through social media, and not fulfilling basic needs due to improper budgeting. The research will examine these issues through a descriptive study using a survey to understand behaviors, preferences, and challenges facing urban Indian youth today.
Tall, blond, and fair-skinned features are seen as the ideal physical appearance in the Philippines. However, the typical Filipino has dark hair and skin. Discriminatory language is used against those who do not fit the ideal such as terms referring to their height, skin color, or ethnicity. Stereotypes are also attached to certain regions in the Philippines where people from those regions are ridiculed for their dialect or other characteristics.
This document discusses the history of gender roles in the workplace from pre-industrial times to present day. It covers topics like the division of labor that emerged during the industrial revolution where men worked outside the home for wages while women worked within the home unpaid. It also discusses women's increasing presence in the workforce during World War II and their return to female-dominated work afterwards. Current issues discussed include stereotypes, lack of women in leadership roles, workplace discrimination laws, and the role of career counselors.
The document discusses the history of education and how it has differed for men and women. It notes that for most of history, formal education was largely restricted to wealthy men, while most people learned trades from family. By the late 19th century, some schooling was provided to immigrant women to teach English, home economics, and American values. While access to education has expanded for women in recent decades, subtle messages in schools still track students according to gender expectations.

1) Women are socialized from a young age through societal influences like family, peers, media, and teachers to have less political ambition than men due to a "gendered psyche". This is reinforced through childhood where girls are discouraged from behaviors seen as masculine like being vocal or taking up space.
2) This gendered socialization continues through adulthood where women see fewer female leaders and are conditioned to believe politics is a masculine domain. As a result, far fewer women consider running for office compared to men.
3) When women do make it into political positions, research shows they advocate for issues important to women like health care and approach leadership in a more collaborative way. However, with so few women in

Race: Culture and Ethnicity
Introduction
Over years, research work has been done on numerous aspects of the race. Some of the research work has shown that there is exists a strong correlation between the cultural aspect as well as the ethnicity when the race of an individual is brought into consideration. From an emic perspective, one can view intricate aspects of race such as culture and ethnicity as a way of life. In short, one views their race as the main contributing factor as to why they behave, think of others, perceive other cultures as well as treat others. From an etic perspective, other people view different races differently depending on the general feelings. When taking an external perspective of racial issues, culture and ethnicity plays a very crucial role.
The topic chosen for study is: Race. This is covered in chapter three of the study text. More specifically Chapter Three analyses race and ethnicity as an offshoot of biology and culture.

Thesis statement: “This study assessed the relationship between culture, ethnicity and various issues surrounding race as carried out by the American Psychology Association.” (Betancourt &Lopez, 1993).
Analysis of the article
Article 1 summarizes the key facts from the research done by the American Psychology Association about the interconnection between culture, ethnicity and an array of other factors driven by race. In the groups of individuals studied, there are a number of the explanatory variables and factors which point at congruence of the effects compelled by culture, ethnicity and as well as racial factors. The psychological effect is furthered by an apparent confusion in conceptual differentiation of culture and ethnicity. As defined, culture focuses on way of life as a result of habits and behaviors picked from the environment around us. Alternatively, this could be as a result of the way we do things and this ends up making us different from other people in terms of how we think, conduct ourselves, learn, worship and interact with others. Ethnicity matters stem from our roots. The roots, in this case, could mean our originality and family trees. The research work goes to on to cross examine how different social variables play an important part in shaping of different cultural perspectives. This is how the social cultural perspectives are bought into play.

Discrimination Against Asian in 21 Century
I think there are different answers from different angles, if you are discussing judicial persecution or institutional discrimination against Asians. Then I think that except Malaysia, no country in the world has such a policy. But in social life, social, education, entertainment,
economy, etc... American society's discrimination against Asians is quite serious.
Let me give two examples to illustrate, first of all, education. “HARVARD stands accused of illegal discrimination against Asian Americans -an overrepresented minority. About a fifth of Harvard students are Asian, far outstripping Asian’s percentage of the overall population”(Verbruggen 34). When Ivy League schools accept Asians, the average admission scores for Asian standardized tests are much higher than any ethnic group. A detailed discussion can be found in the knowledge and has a more comprehensive explanation. This is a plain factual discrimination. There is no excuse to explain this phenomenon. I believe that in a country with relatively stable social classes, the top educational resources can be said to be the only resources that help people improve their living standards and enhance their class. The damage to the interests of Asians here is basically the act of damaging the most fundamental interests of Asians and setting Asians within a fixed class.The second example is the discrimination against Asians by other minorities. The best example is a black rapper YG who wrote a song to teach people how to rob the Chinese and encourage others to rob the Chinese."First, you find a house and scope it out. Find a Chinese neighborhood, cause they don't believe in bank accounts." These are the lyrics to the song "Meet the Flockers" by American rapper YG. The song, while describing in detail how to break into homes and steal, also explicitly says to target Chinese. Though the song is a couple of years old, it has recently drawn the outrage of Chinese netizens, for obvious reasons( S.T.Wong). This incident caused an uproar among Asian Americans, but the mainstream society has very little attention, and this person has not encountered any trouble. A similar example is the Oscar awards ceremony where the organizers and black hosts created three Asian children, dressed as four auditors, mocking Asian child laborers, and ridiculing Asian nerds. In addition, there is also a host of the chicken hair show who asked the children how many Chinese people in their own programs, and the children said that they would kill them. Then the host used this as a humor and let it go.
Some people may say that this is freedom of speech. This just shows the superiority of the United States. If you are not satisfied, you can write songs and then diss go back and protest. However, you can imagine what would happen if these objects that were discriminated against were turned into black and green. I think that the chan.

Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
2. Arabs and Muslim Americans have been a prominent feature of many
national stories in the United States because of the unfortunate event of
9/11. It is well known that many people in the United States are calling for
such things as racial profiling at airports which I believe would result in
devastating consequences for our country if allowed.
I have worked with many Arab Americans during the past decade as I work in
and around Dearborn, Michigan which is home to highest percentage of
Arabs outside of the Middle East and I believe there are quite a bit of
misconceptions towards Arab Americans on the part of non-Arab Americans.
I believe it is crucial for the United States to begin working towards better
relations with Arab Americans and Middle Eastern Arabs in general because
of the new reality we face with regard to globalization and the global
economy.

show that the IQ scores of poorer White individuals are as much as 20
percentage points lower than “the average score of members in the middle
class” (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008, p. 137). Thus, it is possible that an
individual’s intelligence is directly tied to their socio-cultural experience. In
many Islamic cultures, the education of men is often valued higher than that
of women, and even in countries such as Indonesia where women have
experienced greater levels of freedom: when money is tight families tend to
value the education of their son’s over their daughters (Smith-Hefner, 2005,
para. 3). Therefore, it is possible that Muslim women may perform lower than
men on various educational test scores but this would not be connected to
any biological differences between the genders but rather entirely related to
cultural influence.
The Role of Culture
4. Cross-cultural studies on the way people think in recent years have
determined two main processes: dialectical thinking and positive logical determinism
(Matsumoto & Juang, 2008, p. 127). Dialectical thinking refers to a predisposition
toward accepting apparent contradictions and is considered the preferred way of
thinking among many Eastern cultures (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008, p. 127). Positive
logical determinism involves a foundation in the belief that contradictions are
mutually exclusive and is dominate in Western society (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008, p.
127).
The Islamic religion is well known for its universal laws of abstinence before
marriage, no toleration of alcohol, and other such distinctions. Thus, the religion of
Islam would influence adherents to a certain level of dialectical thinking: Islamic
principles are true, therefore, that which disagrees with Islam is false. However,
despite these universal laws that Muslims throughout the world adhere to there are
certain culture specific behaviors within this sub-group depending upon location. The
well known migration of Muslim families to Western societies such as Great Britain
and the United States has played a key role in the differing attitudes Muslims have
toward various issues such as gender roles, societal responsibility, and the level of
individualism versus collectivism (Read, 2003).

6. The Role of Culture
Although there are certain core beliefs and principles that Muslims
throughout the world hold to, one of the most striking differences between Muslims of
the Western World versus those of the Eastern world is the variance with regard to
individualism-collectivism. A strong sense of male dominated leadership is still prevalent
within the majority of Muslim families throughout the world but this sense of gender
inequality is slowly disappearing among Muslims in the Western world thanks to
migration and the global economy (Naber, 1998).
In the article “Family and Gender Among American Muslims: Issues Facing
Middle Eastern Immigrants and Their Descendents” published by the journal Gender &
Society, author Nadine Naber (1998) discusses Islamic society in Egypt and how the
family is considered the very center of society and that children are the main focus of
women within the culture (para. 5). The concept of women’s lives being mainly
concerned with raising children is largely considered to be an old way of thinking in the
United States as well as a way of repressing women’s rights. However, in many Islamic
cultures such as Egypt, women do not necessarily think in terms of being repressed
because they have to raise children but as a way of life. Naber (1998) writes “males and
females occupy distinct roles within a patriarchal system based on age and gender.
Women are caretakers, and men are providers”. Therefore, this type of cultural
atmosphere influences male and female children toward adopting very stringent beliefs
regarding the behaviors of men and women in society.

11. Characters:
25 year old Arab American Sonia and 30 year old Caucasian
American Seth
Scenario:
Sonia is at a local coffee shop reading a book and Seth, a fellow
student from a few years prior recognizes her and comes over to
say hello.
Fictional Scenario
Between an Arab American Muslim
and a Caucasian American
12. Seth: “Sonia, remember me, Seth, from Abnormal Psychology
three years ago?”
Sonia casually looks around the room, and then responds with a
touch of hesitancy in her voice, “Hello Seth, it’s been a long time
how are you?”
Seth: “I’ve been having a hard time. I graduated a year ago but
still haven’t found a job. Fortunately, my parents are supporting
and paying for me to go to graduate school in New Jersey later
this year”.
Sonia: “Yes, the economy is bad and I haven’t been able to find a
job either. I was actually accepted to the same school you’re
referring to but my parents won’t let me go”.
Seth: “Won’t let you go? Your 25 years old, what do you mean
they won’t let you go?”
13. Sonia: “Seth, my parents are devout Muslims, there’s a reason I
wear this head covering you know.”
Seth: “I realize you’re Muslim, but you dress like every other
American girl, and what does that have to do with you moving to
New Jersey for school, if I remember correctly your older brother
is studying engineering at a school in California?”
Sonia: “Well, my parents let me dress according to American
culture, but my older brother doesn’t need a chaperone according
to my parents. In our culture, men are often given a lot more
leeway with regard to independence from their parents. It’s
actually a big deal that I’m in this coffee house by myself talking
with you. My father really doesn’t approve of me coming to a
public place like this without a girlfriend or one of my brothers”.
14. Seth: “Really? Man, my seventeen year old sister just tends to do
what she wants. She went to a party last Friday night and didn’t
get home till nearly three in the morning. I mean, my parents
don’t approve, but what can they do about it?”
Sonia: “If I stayed out that late there would be hell to pay. To do
such a thing would be considered disrespecting my family because
my parents believe that when I am out in public I represent them
and all of our relatives as well as our religion”.
Seth: “Wow, that’s different. I barely even know my relatives. The
only time we all get together is for a funeral or a wedding”.
Sonia: “All of my relatives that have migrated to America all live in
the same city or neighboring city and we get together daily. In
fact, my mother and my aunts cook together at least three or four
times a week”.
15. Seth: “So, I’m guessing that if I ask you out on a date for Friday
night it would be out of the question.”
Sonia: “Uh, yea, that’s not going to happen anytime soon. That
would upset my parents to no end. I do not necessarily agree with
them on all of these issues, and I am sure that I’m going to treat
my own children differently. But because I want peace between
my family and I, I’m going to respect them and their cultural
beliefs”
16. Discussion of Fictional Scenario
Upon migrating to America, many American Muslim women still wear
a traditional head covering but attitudes towards modern dress styles (such as
wearing slacks or skirts) has become more lenient and Muslim American
women are just as likely to wear popular styles of clothing as non-Muslim
American women (Schaefer, 2011).
While Arab American families place just as much emphasis on
education as their non-Muslim American counterparts, Arab Americans tend to
allow their son’s more latitude in pursuing higher education than their
daughters (America.gov, 2008). This does not mean that Arab American women
are prohibited from pursuing graduate degrees, but that Muslim men are more
likely to be permitted to attend schools farther away from home than Muslim
women. The scenario I presented was actually a reinterpretation of my own
experience with friends of mine who are Muslim women from Lebanon, Iraq,
and Saudi Arabia. Each of my three friends wanted to pursue their graduate
degree abroad, but ended up graduating at local universities at the request of
their parents.
17. Discussion of Fictional Scenario
Another theme that was central to my fictional story is the concept of
community and relationships between Muslim relatives. Arab American
families generally place a much higher emphasis on the relationships between
extended relatives than non-Arab Americans (America.gov, 2008). Arab
Americans are more likely to live in close proximity with their relatives than
non-Arab Americans (America.gov, 2008).
Finally, a central element in my scenario involved the character Seth
asking Sonia a series of questions. Cross-cultural studies have shown that when
non-Muslims demonstrate a sincere interest in the Muslim religion, culture,
and philosophy, Muslims are more willing to engage in dialogue (Clyne, 2001).
18. Profile of a “typical” Arab American Muslim
In this section I will expand on the character profile of “Sonia”, a 25
year old Arab American Muslim who I introduced in my fictional scenario.
The Islamic religion is well known for its universal laws of abstinence
before marriage, no toleration of alcohol, and other such distinctions and
therefore it would be highly likely that 25 year old Sonia abstains from
premarital sex, alcohol and other behaviors that are frowned upon by Islamic
society.
Since she is a Muslim it is also likely that she still lives at home with
her family because in general; a strong sense of male dominated leadership is
still prevalent in much of the Muslim society and it would be considered
unbecoming for a single Muslim woman to live on her own apart from her
father (Naber, 1998). Linda Brannon (2007) explains that Muslim countries
have “longstanding traditions of unquestioned male authority over the family”
(p. 254). However, countries such as Morocco and South Africa have slowly but
steadily began to change political policies “giving women more rights in
marriage” (Brannon, 2007, p. 254).
Thus, it is possible that since Sonia lives in America her parents are
more likely to give her more freedoms as an adult then other, more
conservative Muslim societies.
19. Profile of a “typical” Arab American Muslim
In the article “Family and Gender Among American Muslims: Issues
Facing Middle Eastern Immigrants and Their Descendents” published by the
journal Gender & Society, author Nadine Naber (1998) discusses Islamic society
in Egypt and how the family is considered the very center of society and that
children are the main focus of women within the culture (para. 5).
Therefore, it is likely that although Sonia is studying at the University
level, she still perceives a future in which she will marry and bear children.
While some American women might interpret this cultural distinctive as being
oppressive toward women, in many Islamic cultures such as Egypt, women do
not necessarily think in terms of being repressed because they have to raise
children as a way of life. Naber (1998) writes “males and females occupy
distinct roles within a patriarchal system based on age and gender. Women are
caretakers, and men are providers”.

21. Profile of a “typical” Arab American Muslim
Professor Fawzia Afzal-Khan (1997), who was raised in a Muslim
family in Pakistan, suggests that Americans on average associate the phrase,
“Muslim woman” with the terms; “weak, subservient, passive, abused” (para.
8). Although these descriptions might fit many Muslim women throughout the
world, American Muslims have allowed their females to break away from many
of these negative stereotypes and embody character traits in common with any
other non-Muslim female in America (Naber, 1998). In the United States,
Islamic views of masculinity and femininity often depend on whether the
Muslim family has migrated to the country or are second generation citizens.
Thus, if Sonia’s parents are second generation citizens, it is likely that
Sonia herself looks and acts like any other woman in America.
Read (2003) suggests that although Islamic women in America are considered
to be more traditional and more repressed than non-Islamic female Americans,
that among Islamic women born in America “the influence of Muslim affiliation
on gender traditionalism disappears” (para. 27). Thus, young girls who are
raised by Muslim parents born in the United States are more likely to
experience the same type of upbringing as non-Muslim Americans.
22. Profile of a “typical” Arab American Muslim
Perhaps one of the most common misunderstandings Americans have
of Muslims is related to the veil or hijab (modern headscarf), in the article
“Clothes, Culture, and Context: female dress in Kuwait” published by the
Journal Fashion Theory, author Marjorie Kelly (2010) explains that while
Muslim women in Kuwait wear the hijab in public, “At private, same-sex, or
family gatherings, women remove their abayas to reveal anything from shorts
and jeans to formal gowns” (para. 5). Thus, at home Kuwait women dress often
dress just as casually as American women, the main difference being that
casual dress (such as jeans or shorts) is considered improper in public. It was
scarcely less than a generation ago that the average American man would not
even think of attending a ball game without wearing a tie so this author
contends that those people overly critical of Islamic dress need to remember
our society has only recently relaxed our own view of proper public dress
codes.
23. Roots of Prejudice and Hate Toward Arab and
Muslim Americans
In the article “In the article “Understanding and Preventing Hate
Crimes” available through the APA Website, Tori DeAngelis (2001) explains that
discrimination often occurs when people experience a crisis and then look for a
scapegoat to place blame upon (para. 1). In the case of discrimination towards
Arab Americans DeAngelis’ (2001) hypothesis fits quite succinctly in light of the
events of 9/11. Because all of the 9/11 hijackers were both Arabic and Muslim,
the potential for racial profiling and discrimination has been fueled throughout
America. Schaefer (2011) writes, “News events have fueled anti-Arab, anti
Muslim feeling” (p. 275). Numerous surveys taken in the United States have
demonstrated that since 9/11, 1 in 4 people harbor “anti-Muslim stereotypes
such as the idea that Islam teaches violence and hatred (Schaefer, 2011, p.
277).
Hollywood has also been a key contributor toward anti-Arab attitudes,
Schaefer (2011) explains that television shows and movies rarely portray Arab
and Muslim Americans engaging in “normal behavior such a shopping,
attending a sporting event, or even just eating without a subtext of terrorism
lurking literally in the shadows” (p. 277).
24. Roots of Prejudice and Hate toward Arab and
Muslim Americans
Thus, with both Hollywood and the news media portraying Arab and
Muslim Americans in a negative light it comes as no surprise that the general
public continues to harbor such ill will towards this cultural group.
Islamic discrimination toward non-Muslims is more predominant in
the Middle East where Muslims are the majority and non-Muslims are the
minority. For instance, in Saudi Arabia Islam is the official religion of the
kingdom and the law mandates that all citizens be Muslim (U.S. Department of
State, 2004). Thus, while non-Muslims are permitted visas to enter countries
such as Saudi Arabia, legal discrimination exists in the very laws that many of
these Middle Eastern countries are founded upon.
One potential area of discrimination by American Muslims toward
non-Muslims could be a belief that all non-Muslims harbor hate and
resentment toward them. With such a preponderance of examples that show
high percentages of Americans having negative attitudes toward Muslims it
could be easy for Muslims to stereotype all Americans as harboring hate or
discrimination.

Media portrayals of Arab and Muslim Americans are often
negative stereotypes such as the one in the image above,

and Muslim Americans (Examiner.com, 2010).
