Iranians There were several things that I found interesting about Iranians. The first one according to the book was adultery is considered a great sin, and his harshly penalized. Cases of adultery are punishable with death by stoning (Hennon &Wilson, 268). I think that is harsh and cruel thing to do to a person because he or she committed a sin. The second thing was in Iran, marrying your relative is a normal thing to do. According to the book, endogamy has insured the accumulation of power and…

The movie Osama was very powerful because it illustrated how horrible life was for women in Afghanistan. I was extremely outraged to how the Taliban sprayed down all of the widows who were protesting. It portrays the time when the Taliban had control of Afghanistan.

Religion and cultural practices can have a major impact…

1. The scene that I found most impactful was the scene when Malala’s father found out Malala was shot. “My daughter, you are my brave daughter, my beautiful daughter.” When I read that I thought of the pain he must have felt to see his daughter like that.

There are soldiers and guards that are…
