Cognitive Linguistics
The document discusses how the source of online news can influence how political issues are framed for readers. It notes that mainstream U.S. news reports may frame issues differently than foreign or alternative online reports. George Lakoff's work in cognitive linguistics suggests that people relate to political ideologies unconsciously through metaphorical frames like strict versus nurturing parents, and that strategically framing political figures in these ways can influence perceptions. For example, Republicans labeled John Kerry as a "flip-flopper" in the 2004 election by running ads that showed him windsurfing in order to influence how voters viewed him.

Colombian migration
One of the main points made by Juan Gonzalez is that Latin American migration to the United States has been influenced by U.S. territorial expansion and economic dominance in Latin America. Colombia represents a large portion of Latin American migrants in the U.S., with over 4 million Colombians living abroad, mostly in the U.S., Spain, and Venezuela. Many Colombian migrants leave due to lack of jobs and instability in Colombia, hoping for better economic opportunities and family reunification in more developed countries.
Racism Project
The document discusses the history and persistence of racism in America through quotes, statistics, and examples. It defines racism and provides quotes that characterize it as rooted in inferiorization and hatred rather than genetics. The document then examines stereotypes and how international students view them, looking at both historical and modern manifestations of racism in the US through allusions to immigration laws, war costs, media clips, and cited works.
Stop Racism
Racism is defined as the belief that human races can be divided into inferior and superior groups. Historically, racism led Europeans to view non-white races as inferior and in need of civilization. There are three main types of racism: individual racism involving prejudiced beliefs, institutional racism involving discriminatory policies, and environmental racism producing harmful environmental effects on groups. Segregation involves the separation of racial or ethnic groups through custom or law and is often based on a dominant group's sense of superiority over subordinate groups. Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. were influential civil rights advocates who fought against racism and segregation through non-violent protest.
Elizabeth Miralia Final Essay
This document discusses the progression of African American post-secondary education and the roles of the Civil Rights Movement and Black Power Movement. It argues that while the Civil Rights Movement helped integrate schools in the 1960s, the Black Power Movement was more critical for integration of higher education through its use of immediacy, exclusiveness, and emphasis on self-determination. The Black Power Movement led to the establishment of independent Black studies programs and student unions. Today, issues of affordability and attainment still impact African American students, and the Black Lives Matter movement could impact higher education similarly to the Civil Rights/Black Power eras, depending on the response.

Changes in the movement
The civil rights movement saw changes in the 1960s, with new leaders advocating for black power and separatism like Malcolm X and Stokely Carmichael, groups forming like the Black Panthers to advocate for black self-sufficiency and fight police brutality, and riots erupting after the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, while some gains were made in ending legal segregation and increased black pride, voting, and college attendance, but issues around education, unemployment, and poverty remained unfinished.
Racism 07
This document discusses racism and tools to identify and undo it. It defines racism as systemic oppression of one race by another through economic, political, social, and psychological means. Racism is prejudice plus power operating through institutions and structures. Dismantling racism requires simultaneously addressing economic oppression. Racism persists in areas like education, housing, criminal justice, and opposition to affirmative action and immigrants. Overcoming racism is a lifelong struggle that requires self-education, listening to people of color, and challenging privilege and unearned advantage that perpetuates injustice.

Peak.S.GS330
This document discusses the struggles Muslim Americans face in retaining their Islamic heritage and cultural identity. It explores how discrimination in schools can negatively impact Muslim American children's development and sense of belonging. It also examines how Muslim families try to counteract this by establishing Islamic schools that teach Muslim culture and traditions, or by homeschooling. However, being immersed in American pop culture and attending public schools still influences many Muslim American youth to adopt more Western views. The document also analyzes how events like 9/11 increased anti-Muslim sentiment and discrimination, making it difficult for Muslim Americans to feel accepted in their own country.
A Guilty Conscience Barack Obama And America S Guilt In Quot A More Perfect...
This document summarizes and analyzes a speech given by Barack Obama titled "A More Perfect Union" in response to controversy over his association with Reverend Jeremiah Wright. The summary analyzes how Obama uses guilt in three ways: his own guilt, the guilt of European Americans, and the guilt of African Americans regarding racial inequality in America. While these notions of guilt could divide audiences along racial lines, the analysis argues that Obama aims to provide a path for purification and redemption through both scapegoating media institutions and calling for Americans to sacrifice racialized views. The speech challenges the characterization of Obama's rhetoric as always inclusive, and examines how addressing different guilts could create unity through a shared goal of future equality.

RELIGIOUS IDENTITY:
CONSTRUCTING SACRED SITES AT THE
INTERSECTION OF WHITE AND
CHRISTIAN SUPREMACY
JAIDEEP SINGH
INTRODUCTION
Among the most dynamic sources of diversity in the United States is thatemanating from the numerous religious groups that are flourishing under
the relative religious freedom offered by this country. While there cannot be
an official state religion in the United States, Christianity has historically
been given unofficial sanction and privilege in virtually every sphere of
American life. Resulting from this long tradition of Christian dominance is a
strong sense of entitlement and xenophobic entrenchment in significant and
powerful sections of the population.
In 1997, Henry Jordan of the South Carolina Board of Education retorted
to those who objected to a prominent display of the Ten Commandments in
the State’s public schools: “Screw the Buddhists and kill the Muslims.”
Jordan later explained his strong reaction in the following manner: “I was
expressing frustration.... [Schools] can teach any kind of cult. Buddhism is a
cult. So is Islam. I’m getting a little tired of it.” Meanwhile, undeterred by
the opposition of these “cultists,” Nebraska Governor Benjamin Nelson pro-
claimed May 17 of the same year “March for Jesus Day.”1
And in August 2001, Rep. Don Davis, a white, Republican state legislator
in North Carolina, forwarded via email a letter to every member of the state
House and Senate that stated:

“Two things made this country great: White men & Christianity....
Every problem that has arrisen [sic] can be directly traced back to our
departure from God’s Law and the disenfranchisement of White men.”2
While he later distanced himself from the remarks, Davis initially explained
his reason for forwarding the email as: “There’s a lot of it that’s truth, the way
I see it. Who came to this country first—the white man—didn’t he? That’s
who made this country great.”
As evidenced by these examples, religion has become a particularly power-
ful method of classifying the “enemy” or “other” in national life in recent
years, impacting primarily non-Christian people of color. For instance,
Muslims have become among the most demonized members of the
American polity, as a result of international events and domestic actions by a
miniscule handful of their co-religionists. In return, their religion has repeat-
edly been characterized in an inaccurate, misleading, and blatantly racist
fashion in the media and public discourse; their property and religious sites
have been vandalized; and their bodies have been targeted for hate crimes in
alarming numbers. As the venerable scholar Edward Said has noted, the last
sanctioned racism in the United States is that directed at followers of the reli-
gion of Islam.3
The validity of this statement was evident in March of 2000, when

THE RACIALIZATION OF MINORITIZED
RELIGIOUS IDENTITY:
CONSTRUCTING SACRED SITES AT THE
INTERSECTION OF WHITE AND
CHRISTIAN SUPREMACY
JAIDEEP SINGH
INTRODUCTION
Among the most dynamic sources of diversity in the United States is thatemanating from the numerous religious groups that are flourishing under
the relative religious freedom offered by this country. While there cannot be
an official state religion in the United States, Christianity has historically
been given unofficial sanction and privilege in virtually every sphere of
American life. Resulting from this long tradition of Christian dominance is a
strong sense of entitlement and xenophobic entrenchment in significant and
powerful sections of the population.
In 1997, Henry Jordan of the South Carolina Board of Education retorted
to those who objected to a prominent display of the Ten Commandments in
the State’s public schools: “Screw the Buddhists and kill the Muslims.”
Jordan later explained his strong reaction in the following manner: “I was
expressing frustration.... [Schools] can teach any kind of cult. Buddhism is a
cult. So is Islam. I’m getting a little tired of it.” Meanwhile, undeterred by
the opposition of these “cultists,” Nebraska Governor Benjamin Nelson pro-
claimed May 17 of the same year “March for Jesus Day.”1

Muslims in the Media: Room for Moderation?
This document summarizes research on media representations of Muslims. It discusses qualitative research that argues Western media often depicts Muslims and Islam negatively through stereotypes. It reviews literature on how increased engagement with the Muslim world after 9/11 has not changed public opinion, which remains skeptical of Islam. The document also summarizes quantitative content analysis studies that empirically examined news coverage, generally finding it to be more negative and focused on crises. It discusses the need for more quantitative research to test assumptions from qualitative studies.
Faith and Practice Powerpoint
This document provides an outline for a course on Islam and the Muslim community in Louisville, Kentucky. It includes 13 weeks of topics that will be covered, such as the history of Muslims in Louisville, experiences of Muslim refugees, portrayals of Muslims in media and society, and the life and teachings of Muhammad Ali. It aims to introduce students to Muslim cultures and communities in Louisville while developing an informed perspective on modern Muslims. Key events discussed include reactions to the Syrian refugee crisis and terrorist attacks in Brussels.
A Critical Enquiry Of Racism In America.Pdf
This study analyzes the relationship between racism and Islamophobia in America. It argues that American attitudes towards Muslims grew more intolerant after 9/11, developing the phenomenon known as Islamophobia. The study uses Fredrickson's concept of racism as a "scavenger ideology" to show how racism has historically adapted different justifications over time, including using religion. It examines how racism manifested as prejudice against Muslims and Islam throughout American history, from the expulsion of Moors from Spain to immigration laws restricting Asian and Middle Eastern people. The election of Donald Trump, who called for banning Muslim immigration, strengthened the concept of Islamophobia. The study concludes that examining Islamophobia in relation to the historical development
When the Invisible Empire Stormed the Front Range- The Reign of
The document is an undergraduate honors thesis from the University of Colorado, Boulder submitted in 2015 that examines the rise of the 1920s Ku Klux Klan in Boulder County, Colorado. It provides background on the second wave of the KKK nationally and in Colorado before analyzing the Klan's activities and influence specifically in the cities of Boulder, Lafayette, and Longmont during the 1920s. The thesis seeks to understand why the Klan was able to gain traction in these communities and what led to its eventual decline.
Race TRAINING
This document provides training materials on cultural sensitivity and race. It discusses white privilege and microaggressions. Part one focuses on defining white privilege and examples that demonstrate its existence, such as different treatment of armed white protesters versus armed black individuals. It also discusses biases against black men and fetishization of women of color. Part two discusses white supremacy more broadly and how it manifests subtly through colorism and criticism of natural black hair and skin conditions like vitiligo. The document stresses the importance of recognizing privilege and power differentials to develop cultural sensitivity.
The West’s View on Islam/Muslims: Islamophobia?
This research paper will take a deeper look at the West’s view of Islam and asks questions whether it’s all Islamophobia or something deeper. It details how it started, who’s encouraging it and why, who’s benefiting from it, how it’s viewed in other mediums, how it affected Muslims, who are the most prominent public figures fighting it and how it become different in recent years.

I. Islam is the second largest religion globally with over 1.5 billion adherents. However, American views of Islam and Muslims have become increasingly unfavorable in recent years, especially after 9/11.
II. Polls show most Americans view Muslims as prone to violence and extremism. Discriminatory incidents against Muslims, like harassment and attacks on mosques, increased sharply after 9/11 and some political leaders made Islamophobic statements.
III. American Muslims face discrimination like heightened airport security checks, difficulties in the workplace if wearing religious attire, and the politicization of issues like the building of a mosque near Ground Zero in New York. Negative media portrayals contribute to Islamophobic stereotypes

Research paper ISLAMOPHOBIA AND MEDIA STUDIES SINCE 9/11
This document outlines a research paper on the semiotic analysis of a movie to examine the portrayal of Islam and Muslims in Western media. It includes an introduction discussing the role of media in shaping opinions and stereotypes. The objectives are to analyze images and dialogue in the movie to identify any intended impacts and underlying ideologies. The literature review discusses theories like Marxism that view media content as being controlled by economic elites to promote their interests. It also examines the concept of Islamophobia and its roots in history. The research will analyze the movie Argo to study how Western media propagates negative stereotypes about Muslims.
Collection of Interviews on US Muslims
American Muslims or Muslim Americans, whatever the name is, the fact remains that this community is one of the most vibrant and developing in the American mosaic.
The community passed through several stages and generations to reach its current level of engagement and productivity. Organizations such as CAIR represent a successful model where America’s prime values are fought for by Muslims who believe in no contradiction between their dedication for Islam and their American homeland.
This book is a collection of interviews that OnIslam.net’s Politics Zone team has conducted between 2009 and 2013 on issues pertaining to American Muslims in terms of identity, society, political engagement, interfaith dialogues, and US foreign policy. Interviewees include a diversity of activists and public figures in order to expose the reader to different views and angles.

Overcoming ISIS Through Education and Interreligious Engagement
There are a variety of reasons that people decide to join the Islamic State.

ING's Impact in Changing Perceptions
Here's a slideshow that ran during our recent Annual Dinner on February 8th, 2014. It displays some of the findings from our speakers bureaus.
ING Annual Dinner Program: Is Freedom of Religion Becoming Fear of Religion?
In an increasingly secular society, many people from younger generations are finding a tension between the secular assumptions of the world around them and their identity as adherents of religion. Fully one in four members of the Millennial generation – so called because they were born after 1980 and began to come of age around the year 2000 – are unaffiliated with any particular faith, are less likely to be affiliated than their parents' and grandparents' generations were when they were young, and currently attend church or worship services at lower rates than Baby Boomers did when they were younger. And compared with their elders today, fewer young people say that religion is very important in their lives. What is the future of religion in a world of growing secularism? Is freedom of religion becoming fear of religion, fear of asserting one's religious identity, or even a demand for freedom from religion? How can one practice an authentic pluralism that respects people of all faiths and of no faith? Navigating these questions is a difficult task in itself, and without safe spaces and support from others it is all the more difficult.

Bullying in Schools: An Overview
The document summarizes key findings from three studies on bullying in schools conducted by the National Center for School Engagement and funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The first quantitative study found that being engaged in school protects victims of bullying from truancy and lower academic achievement. The first qualitative study found that schools can mitigate the negative effects of bullying by providing a safe, caring environment where students are supported. The second qualitative study examined how bullying affects school attendance from the perspectives of students who experienced bullying. Overall, the research suggests that school engagement is a protective factor against the impacts of bullying and that schools play an important role in addressing bullying.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
