In Erika Friedl’s ‘Women of Deh Koh: Lives in an Iranian Village,’ a beautiful, multi-faceted mosaic is painted, illustrating the every day lives of women in a modern Iranian mountain village dealing with the adversities of domestic power politics, childbirth, infertility, marriage, and old age. According to Western standards, the situations of these women are primitive and oppressive. However, to the women of Deh Koh, their situations are all they know of life. The village is sustained on…

parents decided to re-evaluate their college degrees. And so we moved to Brookings, South Dakota; where we spent the next 3 years. My last stop, so far, is Houston, Texas. I live here with my mom, Hanaa, dad, Maytham, and little sister, Maryam, who is 12 years old. Maryam believes she is smarter than I am. She will always believe that. My parents were born in Iraq and received their education there. In the old days -- the former days. Both of them excelled in their studies and eventually…

more than $1.2 billion, it is not only proclaimed to be the first ‘princess’ movie to enter the list of top 10 grossing animated films, as well as the first animated film in these years.

refugee, I was determined to make it, and I did. Maryam Mosuf, proudly standing as one of the Ministers of my beloved non Islamic country of Canada. Canada with the leadership of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who could have not been happier the day him and I were welcoming the first wave of Syrian Muslim refugees at the airport. Unlike the divine leaders of Afghanistan and Syria, more likely the godly Prime Minister was hoping to find one or more Maryam Monsuf, in order to help him run his…

towards disability from 1977 to today. We began a still image where Amy was hugging her knees tightly. I was crouched beside her with my hand on her shoulder, showing through body language that, representing society, I was empathetic, and Courtney and Maryam were stood away from us. This made it clear that few people sympathised with people with mental disorders, and those that…

had never been goalie before. In fact, they hated it. But tonight they had a change of heart, and stepped up when everybody else backed away from the post. The Camper of the Night from the Green Division is…” She paused for dramatic effect. “Maryam!” Someone nudged me up, and I stood there rooted in shock. Even though I tried being goalie for the sole purpose of this award, I never expected I would actually earn it. I staggered to the front of the crowd, still in denial. How can it be…

Hospital. I am very impressed with the strides taken by St Boniface and it has inspired me to join the fight for Aboriginal equality. Indigenous people are putting in effort to uphold culture and still identify with other cultures. In my discussion with Maryam we both agreed that St Boniface was one of the most essential communities leading to the development of Winnipeg because of its strong Metis…

Being a young woman in the United States, means growing, finding yourself, and being free during that process. Not all young women have the same sort of freedom that Westerns have. The United States is a secular country, which is a country that have no religions or beliefs embedded in it’s laws. The countries that these films are based, Iran and Israel, are Islamic nations. An Islamic nation is governed by Islamic laws and cultural practices with a primarily Muslim community. After watching the…

Greetings Maryam! I enjoyed reading your article on Joe Knight. You mention “the intake for Joe Knight suggest an early onset of schizophrenia or delusional disorder as well as the presence of substance abuse”. Like you, I cited substances abuse as part of Joe’s presenting problems as it relates to alcohol/drug history.
