Samira Ahmed’s realistic fiction novel, Love, Hate, and Other Filters, takes place in modern-day Chicago where a suicide bombing has engrossed the attention of America. Maya Aziz, a Muslim teenager, is targeted for her heritage while attempting to lead a life free of high school drama, controlling parents, and difficult relationships. As Maya copes with Islamophobia, prejudice against Muslims, she begins to understand the horrors and shortcomings of violence. One lesson the story suggests is that hatred is an infectious and blinding motive. From the very beginning of the story, readers are familiarized with the source of terrorism through thorough description and sentence structure.
In the months after the September 11 attacks, the lives of most Americans returned to something like normalcy as original and normal life to maintain their life. But for the Arab, South Asian, North African and those who are based on Muslim fundamentalism, life relatively changed fundamentally and be unchangeable. Thousands of people were detained, most often without charge or access to a lawyer; deportation families apart, and every virtual family member of those communities become a suspect. Even though there is no one of the immigrants who caught up in post 9/11 sweeps and detained that were ever shown to have been involved in terrorist activities, most immigrants are regarded as people who are deserve to suspect.
He does not want to allow any more refugees into the United States and clarifies how he would make the new Muslims and refuges wear a badge to indicate themselves. If becoming President, Trump would dehumanize all refugees in a Nazi-like manner in the same way the Jews had been treated during the Holocaust. He wants to demonize the Muslim culture as whole. It had been see on many occasions that his way of explaining and thought process is to blunt which offends people but also allows him to be in the spot light. His tactic is to do whatever it takes to get the attention of the voters and manipulate the media in his favor instead of focusing on the issues.
Before coming to Berlin, I had previous knowledge that most of the Turkish and Arab population residing in Berlin are Muslim. Many Western narratives about the Muslim population place Muslim men in a position of oppressor, and women in a position of the oppressed. In the West, we hear the stories of Muslim women who have escaped abusive marriages and who are victim to male violence in some way or another. These narratives shape our perceptions of the Muslim male. They are portrayed as aggressive, violent, and dangerous.
Trump states, “I want surveillance of these people, I want surveillance if we have to and I don 't care” (“Trump: Islam Hates Us”). When Trump uses the statement “I don 't care”, it shows how thoughtless he is towards the moral beliefs of Muslims. Demagoguery calls for Trump’s solutions to be the only right ones, because he thinks of himself as the only capable of making America great again. Trumps uses simplification in order resolve radical terrorism by temporarily banning muslims and keeping surveillance
In this situation, there are multiple pros and cons. This article reveals the basics of what is currently going on with our foreign affairs. The theme of this article, titled “Trump's latest executive order: Banning people from seve countries and more”, is presidential wartime and foreign affairs. In this case, the President might have too much power for
The exclusionary rule is a lawful principle that the United States use, which expresses that the confirmation that was powerfully utilized by the police can 't be utilized in a criminal trial. The motivation behind why this is done it’s for the security of the established rights. In addition, the exclusionary rule states that in the Fifth Amendment no one "should be denied of life, freedom, or property without due procedure of law." The exclusionary rule additionally expresses that in the Fourth Amendment it is intended to shield residents from unlawful pursuits and seizures. It also applies to the infringement of the Sixth Amendment, which ensures the privilege to counsel.
An interview with David Miliband, highlighting the refugee crisis affecting the European Union, is the occasion of the article. Data, discovered during the exchange, inform the audience, US voters, about the urgency of this issue. Miliband’s statements of, “This refugee crisis is a real arrow pointed at the heart of the European Union” and, “There is no solution that confines itself within the borders of Europe,” provide evidence that Friedman derived his point of view from this discussion. By writing “Why should Americans care?” , Friedman creates a sense of intensity and uses that leverage to explain how this refugee crisis, which seems distant to us, will affect the E.U. and eventually impact America.
On December 7th, 2015, one of the presidential front runners, Donald Trump proposed his idea of blocking all Muslims from entering the country. According to Donald Trump’s Campaign, “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country 's representatives can figure out what is going on.” The first news outlet that was analyzed was CBS News. The article was specifically about Donald Trump calling for a “total and complete shutdown” regarding Muslims entering the country.
Which is why I chose to base my propaganda off the growing issue of the migrant crisis in Europe. This way I would be able to reach out to the whole world rather than an individual. I chose to format my propaganda to reach groups because according to Neil Postman’s “Propaganda”, “propaganda has the tendency to work best on groups rather than individuals”. The issue of migrants coming from the Middle East and parts of Africa directly affected both Europe and the countries where the migrants were migrating from. By bringing the problem of ISIS and terrorism into the picture, the issue reached the whole world.
ISIS supporters’ presence on the internet is an enclosed community — only insiders know what is happening (Hughes) and this community only allows one view to stay in it (Shane, Apuzo, Schmitt). An echo chamber is like the community — it is enclosed and only has one voice repeating in it. Also, the author used collective memory to explain why ISIS, a terrorist group, can attract many young followers in United States. In front of those supporters, ISIS changed its image from a terrorist organization to the embodiment of justice against the United States. The author mentioned past memory about American military actions overseas and anti-Muslim populism of the kind recently promoted by Donald J. Trump.
In the wake of the recent Paris attacks the argument of allowing refugees into the UK has been a greatly debated topic and has been argued incessantly in the media. A common argument that is given is that, allowing the refugees into the UK will bring terrorists attacks to the country, people believe that hidden amongst the refugees are terrorists and that bringing so many Muslims into the country will cause destruction to the nation. They believe Muslims are the root cause of terrorism and terrorist acts however there is evidence to show Islam’s stance on terrorism and show that allowing refugees into the country should be a moral obligation as It is inhumane of the people of this country to neglect men, women and children who are fleeing severe war and persecution in
In my paper, I will analyse Donald Trump’s political activities before and after the election to get an objective viewpoint of America’s President. We’ll start off with the history of Trump, both personal and political, to see whether there was some sort of significant development over the years indicating a tendency towards ‘good or evil’. Next, we will take a look at what Donald Trump promised to do – the wall, lowering taxes and repealing Obamacare to name a few – and evaluate if he managed to keep his election pledges. This success rate is a major factor in definitively assessing Trump’s influence on America.
This paper will first analyze the website, two films and two articles that focus on Syrian women refugees. Second, it will give an insight of each representations strengths and weaknesses. Thirdly, it will identify biases of each form and then propose ways to find out more information
Due to the onset of a violent war fought between the Syrian government, alongside its allies, and different opposing groups, in 2011, 9 million Syrian citizens became internally displaced resulting in the current Syrian refugee crisis (cite). Although some are still stranded in their war-torn country, many have escaped the violence and fled their homes to seek asylum in different parts of the world including the United States. This created a major foreign policy issue that not only faced America’s previous administration, but still challenges our current one. There have been various proposed action plans, ranging from liberal ideals to realist ones. While liberals believe that helping refugees is morally imperative, realists conclude that accepting Syrians who are seeking sanctuary from war jeopardizes America’s stability and safety.
