    In class discussions, one thing that really stood out to me was the discussion regarding the integration efforts within the Israeli society. Specifically, the author questions what kind of system is necessary in order to have smooth integration with the least amount of tension and culture conflict. The author then describes how he believes it is democratic pluralism. Which has been seen in Switzerland and Canada. Also how one had to maintain silence, as it talks about when the author explains his realization on the gravity of the ethnic problem in Israel in 1951.…

    We can see that within a family, it is structured to influence each other and see things as normal, and people outside of the immediate family cannot intervene because it is a personal affair. In a book written by Mirande, Mirande goes into his family life and recalls being in Tacuba where it was a small community, but what stood out to him is that he recalls a lot of commotion and the entire neighborhood gathering around his Tío Roberto’s house where there was yelling and screaming—his uncle was drunk and beating his Tía Adriana; Mirande brings up the fact that it is very unusual that another household to intervene in the private affairs of another (Mirande). In a Latino culture, often people will not intervene in personal affairs, which gives males more dominance and control over any situation because nobody is confronting them in defense of the woman. “I find that, for men, breadwinning increases infidelity. For women, breadwinning decreases infidelity.…

    Larry Kelly, in his review of Now They Call Me Infidel, states that “Ms. Darwish makes a compelling case that in lands such as Egypt, where Islam dominates, underclass inhabitants such as Coptic Christians, Orthodox Christians, Monophysites, Zoroastrains, Hindus, Buddhists, and of course, Jews continue to be brutalized, but none more so than Islamic women.” Kelly describes her book as an indictment of a misogynistic polygamous world of a “moderate” Egyptian society. Kelly says those who believe that all societies deserve equal respect would be doubtful of Darwish’ assertion that her education was no different than anywhere else in the Arab world and that Arab children in Middle Eastern countries are taught that Jews are hated by God and their mere existence is a sin, therefore they should be exterminated. According to Larry Kelly, Darwish’ mother’s experiences after her husband died points to only one of the many destructive aspects of polygamy, as “none of her former friends could countenance the risk of tempting their husbands with the company of a beautiful you, needy widow.”…

    In Sarah Wall’s, “An Autoethnography on Learning about Autoethnography,” she uses her personal experiences to describe how autoenthographys are beneficial in the research field. Wall breaks her paper up in five main sections. In the first section, Philosophical and theoretical foundations for autobiographical methods, Wall offers up autoethnography as an option over traditional writing and research. This style of research allows those marginalized to tell their personal stories from their perspective, like a “nurse in a doctor’s world.” (Wall)…

    “Some people create their own storms, then get upset when it rains,” quoted an anonymous speaker. On May Fourteenth of 1948, Israel was created as a nation-state on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in Southwest Asia. Its creation as a nation state, for both the Jews and Palestinians, made history, for better or worse. Israel’s founding has a been a topic focused on around the world for both the justifications of its making, along with the repercussions of its founding. The bringing forth and creation of Israel, along with the consequences of its making can be linked to the Jewish want for Zionism, the interaction of international groups of influence, conflicts between the people in and out of its borders, and the anti-Semitic relationships…

    Jeanine Minge presents her story in a unique way that challenges the norms of Los Angeles and ignites conversation about how people are connected to space. Jeanine Minge’s creative art-based autoethnography is compelling because of her ability to connect with an audience beyond an emotional level. In addition to reaching her audience through pathos, she reminds people of the importance of illustrating experiences through words. The above passage is proof of Minge’s emphasis on successfully identifying how an experience can be a true representation of the experience. This passage connects to larger ideas of ethnography and considers how embodiment comes into play.…

    Many ideological groups were present within Palestinian society which left a lack of clear government and little unity between Palestinians as a whole. Unified, the Palestinians drastically outnumbered the Israelis and likely would have been able to prevent their subjugation. However, operating as a disjoint unit, Palestinians fell prey to Israeli occupation. Sahar Khalifeh is clearly critical of these divisions in Palestinian society, in particular the division between the different age groups in Palestine and the division between those of different political ideologies in Palestine. Those of the older group in Palestine clearly felt more strongly about the corruption of submitting to Israel by taking actions such as working in Israel.…

    From its creation, America has been a beacon of hope and freedom to many countries who have aspired to adopt their democratic values. Yet, these values have not always been sought after by other countries, and instead are sometimes imposed upon the ones who rarely accept them with open arms. The Middle East is a seamless example of countries exhibiting resistance to the American way of life and democracy; with many leaders rebelling against the notion due to religious reason. Particularly, Saudi Arabia has been a Middle Eastern Country that has had very close relationship the United States, and over time has adopted forms of its culture even though it clashes with their own.

    Palestinian feminism is a global movement through which Palestinian women oppose patriarchal values and the violence of the Israeli occupation, and fight for human rights and equal treatment for all Arabs regardless of gender or sexuality. Palestinian feminism’s story is largely unknown. From the birth of powerful women’s organizations to viral Internet campaigns by young progressive activists during the Arab Spring, the motives and successes of Palestinian and Arab feminists rarely make headlines. Western feminists often refuse to hear the voices of Palestinian women that challenge their ideas of womanhood, so the story of Palestinian feminism is often overlooked in the Western world (Al-Sweel). Palestinian feminists today and in recent history have placed more importance on combatting the overarching oppression inflicted by the Israeli occupation than on changing traditional patriarchal values.…

    Misunderstandings and a lacking of cultural appreciation have caused many to fall into a misconception over the Middle East. With mass media only broadcasting the negative stories of the Middle East, a land of beauty, culture, and morality has been painted as a land of terror, destruction and anger from those who do not wish to understand the “why” behind it all. The three variables I believe impacted the Middle Eastern societies was first, the spread of Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Second being the migration of western imperialism in the Middle East, in which the British wanted to control the Middle East for selfish reasons. Finally, the Palestinian and Israeli conflict that started after the retreat of western imperialism, as well as…

    In 1947, the British government was frustrated. They had spent significant time and resources trying to find an acceptable solution to their problems in Mandatory Palestine. Things were getting so bad that the British foreign secretary was quoted as saying “The Arabs, like the Jews, [had] refused to accept any of the compromise proposals which HMG had put before both parties. ”1 Instead of a compromise, tensions were rising. Britain was facing an increase in Jewish terrorism, significant pressure from Arab elites, and a lack of support from other western powers.2 In respond to this, Britain decided to relinquish responsibility, officially passing their problem over to the United Nations on April 2, 1947.…

The articles also introduce the many negative and positive effects on the people of these countries,…
