Segregation in Saudi Arabia
Segregation Issue in Saudi Arabia
From what I understand the Victim who had been raped and beaten by seven was sentenced to 90 lashes by the judge in the Saudi Court and during that time the Victim’s lawyer then spoke out and said that it was practically to harsh of a punishment and at that time the Victim was then awarded 200 lashes because apparently you not speak out against the decision. The Lawyer has even been punished for speaking to the media about the appeal of the case and he is currently awaiting his punishment. There are many things wrong in my opinion with this case as well as the Saudi Government. The Government seems to be in some kind of Absolutism, or high power over the people. There seems to be no kind of free speech and equal protection due to the fact that the Victim was a woman. There is no kind of rights. The Victim was doomed out of the gate because in this kind of case there should never be any kind of punishment towards someone who was beat and raped by several men. The fact that punishment was given just goes to show that there is no kind of rights at all in this country. It clearly seems that nothing good can come from here.
The United States Government would look at her like she is an individual and they would look at her as a true victim. All the rights that are given to men directly apply to women in this country as well. There would be no kind of trouble for her since she was with a strange male, who is believe is someone she knew. There is no scrutiny of any kind here in the states. She would have had a fair trial and she would not have had an increased punishment for an outburst from her representation. The U.S. Supreme Court would have given her a fair and just trial because as long as you are considered a person in the states you the right of Due Process, not to mention you are protected by the U.S. Constitution.
I think that this overall case would be looked at under strict scrutiny, using the laws and applying those to the

    Half The Sky Analysis

    While reading Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, I came across many issues and conflicts. In the story, a Pakistani woman named Mukhtar Mai was a victim of gang rape. Six men raped her as a punishment due to her brothers supposed relationship with a woman from another clan. Mukhtar says, “when I tried to call the police, I received death threats that I would be killed if I went to the police station.” In Joel Christie’s article, they talk about a Norwegian woman named Monika Korra who was a survivor of gang rape. Three men abducted and raped her on her way home from a party. Monika says, “Before I knew it, I just had someone grabbing me from behind and I had a gun to my head.” They told her to strip down while sexually assaulting…

    According to the passage the A Tale of Segregation, william and his father had to wait to get water because, of the white men. The white men were holding them back because they were black. The white men where bullying them because of what they believed in, and what has happen in the past. The white men considered them as good men, compared to william and his father they claimed. Another event that shows white men think they have power over black, was the intensely racist governor in alabama. George wallace was standing in the doorway of a college, and wasn’t letting two black men get in. However the governors defiance was overwhelmed by John F. Kennedy who knew how to use federal power, claimed the video The last word John F. Kennedy's finest…

    ISIS Current Event

    • 439 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In this article, one is informed of the living conditions of teenage girls after being captured by members of the ISIS terrorist group or organization. Each women imprisoned by ISIS underwent a series of brutal beatings, torture, and were also raped as well. After having to deal with all these obscurities the women felt very degraded and dishonored. Not only were they beaten and tortured and such, but also a good amount of women were sold as slaves or “gifts”. It was said by one of the woman that a certain point, death even by suicide was more desirable then having to live under ISIS containment and their gruesome or barbaric control. Women became fragile and ill because they were poorly nourished, barely being given anything to eat and little to drink. The bottom line here is that these women are being captured and tortured heavily due to the fact of not being part of the Islamic community. Each was given copies of the Koran and were forced to read and follow it. If the women did not follow the Koran they were once again beaten, tortured, and or raped. At the same time of being forced to follow the Koran they would be forced to watch the beheadings of men from near and far. Some were actually from the same region as the women telling their horrific stories. The region some of the men came from was the Yazidi minority group in Northern Iraq. Not to forget, because of the mass murders of the Yazidi tribe and other minority groups resulting in the beheadings of men, President Obama then stepped in the picture. President Obama was led to sanction a series of airstrikes against ISIS within Iraq. The United States then bombed Syria, which led to other countries to join in on the attack against ISIS. Countries such as Britain and Turkey joined the airstrike campaign. All in all, because of the hardships these women have gone through and continue to face, the United States has been…

    Segregation In America

    The background of African Americans living in the United States has not been pleasant. From the 1600’s and on African Americans have faced a certain kind of cruel oppression unknown to other races. Yet as time grew on, Americans mended these wounds with laws, amendments, and certain types of social acceptance, such as breaking down the barriers of racial segregation constructed in the post World War 1 Era, to improve the lives of all living in the U.S.A. Not even today do we have perfect harmony, but still do we work towards this goal.…

    I was born in 1929 in Jacksonville, Mississippi. I went to a small school in our town where I learned reading, writing, and math. In December 1941, America entered World War Two. My oldest brother who was just 18 went to war, along with most of the boys in our town. A lot of the women had to go to work at the textile factories, which were turned into warhead factories. My family was wealthy, so my mother did not work, but a lot of my friend’s mothers did. It was strange having both the father and mother work. My friends were made fun of in school for being poor. When the war ended in 1945 life returned back to normal for most of us. I graduated high school but did not attend college. My father said college was for men only, and I needed to…

    Segregation In Schools

    Segregation in public school systems across the United States is a problem that has been present for a very long time. The beginning stages of this problem can start as early as when children first attend kindergarten and continues all the way to 12th grade. However, the most staggering outcome on this issue comes to light when one becomes aware that segregation targets and affects particular populations of people. It usually applies to minority groups, such as Latino and Black students who are put at a disadvantage where their education is often limited and they have to face other outside distractions. Unfortunately, the use of public policy, law enforcement decision making, and community partnerships are enforced to socially control, contain,…

    The segregation and discrimination of African Americans in public education has been occurring in America for many generations. I am going to start in the colonial era and work up to present day education in a comparison of the white vs black education opportunities throughout history.
