Throughout most of this class this semester, the idea of what makes an Islamic movement authentically “Islamic” appears to be explicit, hardline doctrinal ties to the establishment of some sort of Islamic polity. As Ali Rahnema mentions in the introduction of the Pioneers of the Islamic Revival: “Islamic Revivalism …is characterized by a renewed interest in Islam as an endogenous ideology with redeeming powers. For the born-again Muslim the Qur’an and the Tradition of the Prophet provide…

Crash, a film about how people’s misperceptions shape their reality had me focus on the character Farhad, a Persian store owner. He experiences people racially profiling him and his behavior is effected from people’s misperceptions. Through Farhad’s story we can see the different stages of perception, attribution biases, and the effects of misperceiving. Perception is how an individual filters information, interprets it, and then creates a meaning for their views. How people perceive, and…

Having spent ten years of my life in a small village in the southeast portion of Iran and the remaining thirteen in the United States, I have come to feel at home in two worlds; possessing native competency in the languages, cultures, and logics that dominate the spheres of thinking in both nations. Upon immigrating to the Unites States, neither I nor my family members spoke any English. I recall the first day I sat in a class in the U.S.—it was my fourth grade class and I was the only student…

and influence of language have long stood at the forefront of how societies operate. The Ancient Near East represents no exception to this reality. Given the widespread emergence of state societies in the region, the development of language and complimentary writing systems served as integral to societal sustainability and progression. While many languages used throughout the era have been thoroughly uncovered and systematically deciphered, one particular linguistic set (ie. language and…

Part A: The Palace of Knossos is the most complex structure existing from the ancient Minoan Civilization on the island of Crete. It was built in the Minoan political center of Knossos by King Minos around 1900 BC. The palace is an extremely intricate building standing five stories with large, beautiful paintings on its walls known as frescos; it even had indoor plumbing. It is apparent that only the most important people in Minoan society lived in the palace because of its grandeur and beauty…

This is a decent time when to pull back and take a gander at the time of farming developments (ca. 3500 B.C.E.–ca. 1750 C.E.) The most conspicuous extensive scale incline in this period of mankind 's history was the globalization of development. The primary wave—the First Civilizations— was at that point worldwide in the first place Civilizations ended up being delicate and helpless Mesopotamian city-states were consumed into bigger domains Indus Valley, Central Asian, and Norte Chico human…

There is a plethora of historical figures in history, but some of these figures are more acknowledged and discussed about than others. The Macedonian general, Alexander III, also referred to as Alexander the Great, is one of the more prominent historical figures. There is no question that Alexander is famous for his undefeated streak during his military campaigns. However, many historians are in constant debate over whether or not Alexander was truly a military leader that deserved to be a…

Similarly many academics have theorized about the role to which Islam played in the ethnic and nationalist formations of the Kurds. In his essay “The Impact of Islam on Kurdish Identity in the Middle East,” Hakan Ozoglu argues that Kurdish identity evolved through various, overlapping phases with Islam at the core of its formation process, a process he calls “dialectical, dialogical, and monological” (18). First, while the term “Kurd” was not ethnically associated with the modern term Kurd,…

Alexander the Great was born in July 356 BC in Pella, Macedonia. He was one of the best military leaders in the history. He received the civilized world, required by his great passion of world conquest and the creation of a universal kingdom. He was the son of Philip of Macedonia, who was a brilliant general and organizer. His mother was Olympias, princess of Epirus. Alexander received the best qualities of his father and mother. As a child he used to get discouraged after listening to news…

The Power of Language in Shakespeare 's Othello In Othello, the contamination of linguistic matter (whether through verbal or human associations, through deliberate perversion, or by senseless mouthing of meaninglessness) ultimately destroys the ordered control of normal behaviour patterns, personal or social (Shaw 306). In one of the finest play written by William Shakespeare, language is not only the medium that conveys the drama but also the action. For example, talking about an event will…
