Ahmed Suadi Talib Case Study

In watching the interview with Mahershala-Ali I found the first question he was asked very intriguing. I can not remember the full question itself, but I do remember it talked about this second movie playing in one’s mind. Mahershala responded with how movies portray this “fake reality.” This means that people begin to think what they see in movies is what reality is actually like, when actually it is often not. I agree with this, especially from doing work in Ms. Pacatte’s class on how media and entertainment affect our ideas and perceptions of reality. Particularly for girls, romance movies portray a false sense of how love can be and often make females think there is something wrong with them or their relationship if it is not like how movies

In New York, 2010, Kalief Browder was arrested for allegedly committing a robbery that he said he did not commit. However, he was still charged with robbery, grand larceny, and assault. The judge set bail at three thousand dollars, an amount that Browder’s family could not pay and unfortunately, he was sent to Rikers Island where he spent over a thousand days. He was assaulted by officers, inmates, and was also constantly sent to solitary confinement for nearly two years during his time at Rikers Island (Gonnerman, 2014). Kalief Browder attempted suicide many times when he was in solitary confinement. After being released, he tried to get back on his feet within society. His case was heard by many people, including Barack Obama, Jay Z, and other well-known individuals. All of them spoke about the injustice Browder faced. However, on June 06, 2015, Browder committed suicide (Gonnerman, 2015). Many people believed that the criminal justice system failed Browder. Unfortunately, this is not the only case in which the outcome was heartbreaking.

Yaser Esam Hamdi is an American citizen born in Louisiana in 1980. In 2001, Hamdi was captured by the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan and turned over to the United States as an enemy combatant. The United States government detained and interrogated Hamdi in Afghanistan until they moved him to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The U.S. government found out that Hamdi was an American citizen and transferred him to a brig in Norfolk, Virginia and then later to a brig in Charleston, South Carolina. The government labeled Hamdi as an enemy combatant and said that justified the holding of Hamdi indefinitely without any formal charges. The injury suffered by Hamdi is that he has been interrogated and being held in prison indefinitely with no formal charge. Along with that, Hamdi had not been granted any of his rights as an American citizen. In June 2002, Esam Fouad Hamdi, Yaser Hamdi’s father filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in a federal district court. The district court appointed a public defender to Hamdi and ordered for him to have access to Hamdi, so the government appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals. The U.S. Court of Appeals sided with the government stating that the district court had failed to respect the government’s security. The case then went back to the district court, where the decision was that the evidence set forth by the government was not enough to detain Hamdi. The district court then reversed its ruling because

Under her leadership, the city's streets were reimagined and redesigned to include more than 60 plazas and 400 miles of bike lanes. Comprehensive changes designed to improve quality of life and create new found open spaces. Over her seven year tenure, New York City underwent a transportation transformation, played out avenue by avenue, block by block.

Flashed light, seemingly endless pain, and astonishment. Such words do not even begin to scratch the surface of those that are fitting for the moment Farah Ahmedi stepped on a landmine and turned her life upside down. Ahmedi was a highly intelligent afghan muslim who was forced to mature at a young age. The landmine incident was just one horrific event that would happen throughout her journey. However, it was extremely significant, leading her to test her faith in God and to question her ability to ever feel as a regular girl again. In like manner, Ahmedi creates the essence of the composition by following her dreams to America, disregarding the beliefs she grew up hearing about the land of the free.

In the case of Arar, it was a highly publicized and extreme matter in regards to the abuse of immigration law and profiling. Arar held dual citizenship with both Canada and Syria, but fell into the Arab/Muslim stereotype and his dual citizenship made it feasible for Parliament and the public to label him as a terrorist (Abu-Laban and Nisha Nath, 2007). Unfortunately, in 2002, Arar was detained and interrogated for multiple days in New York City’s John F. Kennedy Airport on the basis of supposedly being a part of a terrorist organization. These “reasonable grounds” that the Attorney General had concerning Arar as a terrorist have not been revealed, however (Roach, 2007). Nevertheless, he was question about topics such as Osama bin Laden, Iraq, and Palestine (Lobel, 2008). One interrogation lasted an upwards of five hours, and in the end, he was deemed no longer admissible within the United States, on the claims that he was part of Al Qaeda. His request to be returned to Canada was ignored and he was sent to Syria, despite that international law forbad any sort of involuntary transfer to a country where there is reasonable grounds to believe they will be tortured (Roach, 2007). After being sent into Syria, Arar was then tortured for a year, once again on the basis of terrorism. During this time, he was forced to sign a false confession about being involved with terrorists, and Canada

While the Abbasids seized power on the Arabian Peninsula, the Umayyad leader Abd al-Rahman fled to the Iberian Peninsula and built a magnificent kingdom. When he reached Spain, he made it Al-Andalus, also known as Muslim Spain. He gained power by uniting the factions that were already there and defeating the ruling factions. Al-Andalus became a glorious kingdom in the Muslim empire because they had powerful leaders, a stable government, and effective tactics for expansion. The reasons for their decline will also be mentioned in this essay.

Hadrat Ali was the son of Abu Talib, a prominent Quraish chief and custodian of the Holy Ka'bah. The mother of Hadrat Ali was Fatima. Fatima was a cousin of Abu Talib. Thus, both the father and mother of Hadrat Ali were Hashimites, and that was a great honour. Hadrat Ali was born in unusual circumstances. On the 13th day of the holy month of Rajab, Fatima, the mother of Hadrat Ali, visited the Ka'bah to perform the pilgrimage. During the course of the pilgrimage and while circumambulating the Ka'bah, Fatima felt the pangs of childbirth. She retired to a secluded place in the precincts of the holy Ka'bah, and there Hadrat Ali was born. Hadrat Ali has thus had the unique honour to be born in the

For this end of module assessment I will be looking at the case study of Safia Nazir, her husband Nazir Rashid and their 3 children Taqi, Asif and Amina who live in Scotland and have been bought to the attention of social services for various reasons. I will be demonstrating my understanding of what the social workers role would be in relation to this family, including the skills and knowledge needed to meet the family’s individual needs. The social worker in this case study is called Shona and what I have read of her and her initial steps to work with the family come across as appropriate and professional. I will go into more detail about Shona’s work and my understanding of her role later in the assignment and make potential comparisons or reflect on what I may or may not do differently. I will consider issues in relation to my personal and professional values and will also refer to policy and practice from English legislation; as this is my country of practice. I will be focusing on early intervention and the initial steps in social work, such as making contact, meeting and the initial assessment.
