Brief Background: The Us Declared Victory In Afghanistan

Violence, war, discrimination, and poverty: these issues have long been a part of Afghanistan’s history. Even though things in Afghanistan are getting better, war fills the country, and women and children have to learn to endure abuse, caused by men and the Taliban; they also learn to endure poverty. Considering this, it is no wonder why Afghanistan is in the terrible position it is in now. Many Afghan cities like Kabul are filled with things like violence and discrimination, and the book A Thousand Splendid Suns, by Khaled Hosseini takes place in Kabul. This book follows the lives of two Afghani women, Mariam and Laila, as they suffer pain and discrimination received from the Taliban and their

Growing up and living in Afghanistan as a woman has its challenges. Parents choose who can marry you and they choose everything for you. In this book, Laila and Mariam both show the struggles it is to be a girl, and how much disrespect they get in Afghanistan. Both Mariam and Laila are married to the same man, and he is abusive to both of them. They also live under Taliban rule, and the rules that they set are very unfair for women. In Khaled Hosseni’s novel, he has many different themes but the most prevalent one is of woman inequality, and that is shown through multiple accounts of abuse, disrespect, and unfairness.

A Thousand Splendid Suns, a book written by Khaled Hosseini, gives us a unique and informative glimpse into life in Afghanistan in the early 1960’s to the 2000’s. In it we can see many different political and social issues ravaging the country, with the most evident being gender inequality. Though many diverse groups of people were being discriminated against at the time, most of the subordination fell onto women as they had more and more rights taken away from them when various ruling powers took control. The author relays this information to us and educates us as to what happened through compelling and thought-provoking literary devices such as symbolic characters and objects, and allusions. By using these

Knowing that 85 percent of Afghan women reported that they had been experiencing physical, sexual, psychological violence due to being apart of a forced marriage is very forlorn to hear. After researching many encounters relating to the hardships of marriages of Afghan women, it has come to my attention that Kevin Sieff can’t distress his tone enough when story of Farima and the customs of marriages and divorce.

Throughout the book “A Thousand Splendid Suns,” there is a growing understanding that focuses on the ideas imposed by biased views prejudice against women. This has made a wide impact on decades of Afghan people as they watch their country slowly shatter. The tough times in this society demonstrates how the Taliban uses fear and violence to control the people within Afghanistan, showing a powerful portrait of female suffering. The story is told in the perspectives of two women, Mariam and Laila.They show that both love and hate are powerful shapers of the human spirit. Both of the women’s cultural and physical surroundings influence the people they become, and shape how they perceive the world. Although Mariam and Laila have different beginnings,

Throughout Khaled Hosseini’s novel, The Kite Runner, the reader observes many injustices committed due to the presence of the Taliban and cultural conflict in Afghanistan. One of the most concerning issues in Afghanistan is the mistreatment and inequality that women face on a daily basis due to Taliban mandates. Women in Afghanistan are treated as inferior beings to men and are unable to stand up for themselves due the laws the Taliban enforces. Hosseini uses the wives of Amir and Hassan, Soraya and Farzana, to represent the injustices to which women in Afghanistan are subjected.

Hosseini reflects many of the inequalities women face in Afghanistan. In contrast, while America was unwelcoming to women in the past, recent years have brought significant changes, and we now

Afghanistan has been in the spotlight since the 9/11 attacks, which was followed by the war in Afghanistan until 2014. The aftermaths of the war continue to be felt here as this nation is still developing and the Taliban groups continue to hold loads of power over this country such as practicing violent attacks in aims to push all foreigners out of Afghanistan. Additionally, Afghanistan is extremely vulnerable to natural disasters as there was an earthquake just three day ago with a magnitude of 4.4 in Ashkasham, and a flood during April of this year that killed 50 people. Moreover, these natural disasters have an enormous impact on this country as they already lack employment opportunities thus their economy is deteriorating. Hence voluntary

Mariam is the perfect example of a life of suffering for women in Afghanistan. Dishonored as a child, she was forced to live in a clay kolba with her mother. Married off at the young age of 14, her story begins with the life style of an abusive husband. Laila, on the other hand, was raised in a family were female education was pursued and girls were aloud to attend school. Laila’s Father is a very loving man and a determined mother. These two lives help represent the different generations and situations that have happened and are happening right now in Afghanistan.

The world has been reluctant to call the war in Afghanistan a religious war and has instead emphasized the political motives. This paper will argue that the United States and allied invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 should be a full five stars on the BBC audit, declaring it a war based on religion. The Islamic State’s attack on September 11, 2001 cause the United States and its idea of democracy to assume the role of a symbolic religion.

Following the withdrawal of NATO, attacks on women’s rights have increased. 87% of girls in Afghanistan face discrimination and harassment (Luccaro and Gaston). Our character in Afghanistan is a one of them. Education is also limited to those of higher class. Many do not know how to defend themselves. War Child strives to empower girls in the times of chaos.

As the Afghan civil war continued, things progressively got worse for Afghan women, as more of Afghanistan landed under Taliban control. In 1992 when the Marxism inspired government that had been left behind as a result of the Soviet Union fell, it was instead replaced with a more traditional Islamic inspired government, and as such the Islamic State of Afghanistan was created. This was when the rights and treatments towards women can clearly be seen to be backtracking as the constitution was abandoned and a number of new laws were imposed. Part two of the civil war saw significant deterioration of Afghan women’s rights as the Taliban gained more control of Afghanistan.

Reflection Paragraph: “Success Despite Injustice” by Gayle Tzemach Lemmon poignantly illustrates the constant striving of Afghan women in their search for gender equality. Time and time again, these resilient women have more than proved their worth as valued members of Afghanistan, yet efforts to incorporate women into society have steadily declined in recent years. Their ingenuity and ability to adapt

Imagine what the U.S economy would be like if the military would have ended intervention in Afghanistan sooner and focused on domestic problems. In this paper, I will explain how the United States could have exited the longest war they’ve ever fought far sooner than they did. The reasons I will use to support this include: The military is not trained to hunt one person, The U.S missed their chance to assassinate Osama bin Laden at Tora Bora, The military was making no advancement in Afghanistan, They had no set strategy, Did not stick to one goal, Got in more trouble than it was worth, and the U.S majority were against it.

In fact, Afghanistan is considered as one of the worst countries to be born as a girl. People in that country suppress women in the name of religion. Nadia Hashimi’s debut novel, The Pearl That Broke Its Shell portrays the real picture of Afghan women, their struggles and their status in their society. The two protagonists, Rahima and Shekiba, are depicted as examples for Afghan women. Though these two women are separated by generations as Shekiba is the great-great-grandmother of Rahima, they share their destinies; Rahima and Shekiba face a lot of problems in the hands of
