Saudi arabia travelling etiquettes
The five pillars of Islam are the foundation of Muslim life and obligations: Shahadah (professing belief in one God), Salat (prayer performed five times a day), Zakat (charity for the less fortunate), Sawm (fasting during Ramadan), and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca for those able). When interacting in Saudi Arabia, one should be aware of conservative social customs like modest dress for women, avoiding public mixing of sexes, and following etiquette around gifts, invitations, and dining. Foreigners are advised to dress conservatively and avoid prohibited acts like alcohol consumption or public displays of affection.
The amish
The Amish are a Christian denomination known for their simple living, plain dress, and resistance to modern conveniences. They live in tight-knit communities that are deliberately separated from the outside world. While their way of life originated in Switzerland, most Amish now live in Pennsylvania and parts of Canada. Their rules, which cover all aspects of daily living, are strict and enforced through excommunication. Transportation is by horse and buggy. Their language is Pennsylvania Dutch, though some older Amish speak other German dialects.
Women in islam oppression or liberation
Islam truly liberates women by defining their rights and responsibilities. A Muslim woman is liberated from economic slavery and consumerism, and instead finds purpose and dignity by fulfilling her natural role. She owns property, controls her own money, and has rights to education and inheritance. Far from being oppressed, the modestly dressed Muslim woman is empowered through peaceful submission to God's natural order. True liberation comes from within by adhering to morality, not from superficial freedoms that undermine society.

HE Access Week 3: Amish Culture
The document provides an overview of Amish culture, focusing on roles, norms, values, and beliefs. It examines the Old Order Amish tradition of plain dress, use of horse-drawn buggies, and rejection of modern technology. The New Order Amish are more progressive, allowing some technology.

Overall, the Amish aim to live simply and apart from mainstream society according to religious principles.

It notes that loneliness is an undesired experience that can be avoided by maintaining relationships with family and friends. While living together occurred historically, it was discouraged because it could cause personal and social problems. Living together does not ensure compatibility or increase marital success, and often leads to unresolved conflicts after marriage. It is generally not good preparation for a stable marriage long-term.

Role of women in the development of islamic civilization
The document discusses the role of women in Islamic civilization and their rights under Islam.

The document summarizes a news article about domestic violence. It shares the story of a woman named Liz who suffered emotional and physical abuse in her marriage over many years. Her husband Bob became increasingly jealous, possessive and controlling. He monitored her actions, limited her spending, and eventually became physically violent. Liz sought help and eventually left the abusive relationship, but still suffers emotional scarring from the trauma. The article brings attention to the issue of domestic violence and provides resources for victims.
Supermoms
The document discusses the unrealistic expectations placed on modern women to be "supermoms" by managing a career, household, and perfect children and appearance. It cites research showing 70% of American moms find motherhood stressful and 30% suffer postpartum depression. While Western society promotes this image, Islam defines womanhood differently by emphasizing the important role of wife and mother and ensuring their rights and responsibilities are clearly defined. Raising children well is the greatest role a woman can have, and those who understand Islam's guidance on gender roles feel secure rather than stressed.

Women have made gradual progress towards equality over the past century. Historically, women lacked many legal rights and protections from abuse. Thanks to activists like Clara Campoamor, Spanish women gained the right to vote in 1931. While laws now establish equal rights for men and women, issues remain such as domestic violence, barriers to women's education, and discrimination against women in the workplace and immigrant women. Continued effort is still needed for women to fully achieve their goals and create a better future.

The document also contrasts unhealthy dating habits with biblical courtship and provides questions to guide finding a marriage-minded Christian partner.

DO NATIONAL VALUES AND INSTITUTIONS MEAN FORCED ASSIMILATION
This document discusses the concepts of assimilation versus integration of migrants into Australian society. It argues that assimilation implies forcing migrants to give up their cultural identities and values, while integration allows them to embrace Australian laws, values and institutions without losing who they are. The document expresses concern about the misuse of terms like multiculturalism creating divisions, and asserts that all citizens have a duty to prioritize Australia's security, stability and interests above other loyalties. It concludes by advocating for tolerance and integration over assimilation, allowing freedom of worship for people of all faiths to peacefully coexist in Australia.

White Privilege Unpacking the Invisible KnapsackBy Peggy Mc.docx
White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack
By Peggy McIntosh
This article is now considered a ‘classic’ by anti-racist educators. It has been used in workshops and
classes throughout the United States and Canada for many years. While people of color have described
for years how whites benefit from unearned privileges, this is one of the first articles written by a white
person on the topics.
It is suggested that participants read the article and discuss it. Participants can then write a list
of additional ways in which whites are privileged in their own school and community setting. Or
participants can be asked to keep a diary for the following week of white privilege that they notice (and in
some cases challenge) in their daily lives. These can be shared and discussed the following week.
Through work to bring materials from Women’s Studies into the rest of the curriculum, I have
often noticed men’s unwillingness to grant that they are over privileged, even though they may grant that
women are disadvantaged. They may say they will work to improve women’s status, in the society, the
university, or the curriculum, but they can’t or won’t support the idea of lessening men’s. Denials, which
amount to taboos, surround the subject of advantages, which men gain from women’s disadvantages.
These denials protect male privilege from being fully acknowledged, lessened or ended.
Thinking through unacknowledged male privilege as a phenomenon, I realized that since
hierarchies in our society are interlocking, there was most likely a phenomenon of white privilege,
which was similarly denied and protected. As a white person, I realized I had been taught about
racism as something which puts others at a disadvantage, but had been taught not to see one of its
corollary aspects, white privilege which puts me at an advantage.
I think whites are carefully taught not to recognize white privilege, as males are taught not to
recognize male privilege. So I have begun in an untutored way to ask what it is like to have white
privilege. I have come to see white privilege as an invisible package of unearned assets which I can
count on cashing in each day, but about which I was ‘meant’ to remain oblivious. White privilege is
like an invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, codebooks, visas, clothes,
tools and blank checks.
Describing white privilege makes one newly accountable. As we in Women’s Studies work to
reveal male privilege and ask men to give up some of their power, so one who writes about having white
privilege must ask, “ Having described it what will I do to lessen or end it?”
After I realized the extent to which men work from a base of unacknowledged privilege, I
understood that much of their oppressiveness was unconscious. Then I remembered the frequent charges
from women of color that white women whom they encounter are oppressive. I began to understand why
we are justly seen as oppressive, even when .
WHAT HAVE YOU CONTRIBUTED TO THIS NATIONS SECURITY AND LONGEVITY
This document discusses what Australians have contributed to the security and longevity of the nation. It questions whether Australians have paid taxes, raised families, served in the military, or created jobs, or merely lived off the backs of others.

While acknowledging Australia's compassion, it also asserts that the nation has the right to protect its freedoms, heritage, and Western way of life from any external influences perceived as a threat. The document concludes by asking what the reader has personally contributed to Australia and if they have earned the right to call themselves Australian.

I\'m Tired
- 1. This should be required reading for every man, woman and child in the UK , United States of America, Canada, Australia and ew Zealand, South Africa, etc. "I'm 76 and I'm Tired" – by Bill Cosby I'm 76. Except for brief period in the 50's when I was doing my National Service, I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for some some serious health challenges, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired. I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it. I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honour"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to. I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia, New Zealand, UK, America and Canada, while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and tolerance.. I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley,
- 2. grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off? I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor. I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems. I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20's bedeck them selves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves un- employable and claiming money from the Government. Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 76.. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter and her children. Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in.
