example, in the Iraq and Afghanistan war, there were over 8,000 soldiers killed in action since 2001. That number stems from a total of 14 years of combat operations. In comparison, there are nearly the same number of suicides by U.S. servicemen and women every single year. Soldiers are not only impacted by physical injury, but there is a very substantial amount of them who are impacted mentally as well. The physical and mental effects of war are extreme and can be very overwhelming to those who…

as foreshadowing the unfortunate events to come later in the novel. A book that represents the poor treatment of Islamic females in other countries, this is one of Hosseini’s best works; it puts life through the eyes of two girls living in Afghanistan during the most chaotic of times. Works such as these help to give a voice to the women who are seen as “half a person.” But what if these Muslim women do not feel victimized and overpowered by men, but rather feel respected?

The Millennium Development Goal that interests me the most is the promotion of gender equality and the empowering of women. I believe all the developmental goals coincide with one another but the focus on empowering women and promotion of gender equality has been an ongoing struggle as time has evolved. Also, it is frustrating how many view women as disabled individuals because of their biological organisms. The vast majority of my research will be based in the Middle East, Afghanistan to be…

Runner is centered around the male’s role in Afghan society. There is an absence of input from woman, which reinforces the lack of women's rights. There may be very limited representation of women in the novel, however woman play a vital role to Hosseini’s novel.
