Imagine a kid, no older than 8, walking through rocky terrain for miles carrying gallons of water to sell for just 4 lousy dollars. The article,”The Plight of Afghanistan’s Child Water Carriers” and the video, “For Afghan Kids, Hauling Water is a Living” explain the problem of Afghan kids missing out on school because they are carrying and selling water just so their families can survive. These two sources are related yet at the same time they are contrasting.

In the Frontline documentary, “The Dancing Boys of Afghanistan” examines how Afghanistan struggle with child sexual slavery and human trafficking of young boy’s ages 5-15 for social and sexual entertainment that was once considered an ancient custom during the early 1800 called Bacha Bazi was subsequently banned under Taliban rule. Although is purported to be a widespread problem inducted by military commanders and wealthy men for power or economic gain as tradition, it is actually modern day pedophilia and child abuse. The Afghan criminal justice system makes it impossible to convict against these serious crimes primarily because quasi-legal regulation does not have legally binding weight since Islamic laws restrict human right freedoms,

Throughout the whole book, there are constant examples of why being a child is hard and boring in afghanistan.

In the ethnographic chronicle, When Bamboo Bloom, by Patricia Omidian, Omidian traveled to Afghanistan to work with, aid, and better understand Afghans. However, her the Taliban limited her quality and quantity of work. Their control over the land constantly changed which forced her to deal with different environments each time she journeyed there. In 1998, she worked for Save the Children (SAVE) in Kabul on the land mine project that taught children how to avoid land mines. In 2000, Novib hired her and tasked her to work with the Shuhada Organization in Hazarajat to evaluate their programs, help develop a strategic plan at their program’s home office and take it back to the Afghan staff so that they could develop an action plan for their health program. In 2001, she worked in Herat for the Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance (CHA) and helped develop a mental health program to aid their staff cope with life under the Taliban and the stress of living as refugees.

Geoff Pryor’s cartoon Tell me again Dad what was it like under the Talibans? - Afghan father and son in refugee camp suggests a blatant criticism of the treatment of Afghan asylum seekers. This criticism is implied through the comparison of how the Afghan people have been treated by both the harsh and punitive confines of an unidentified detention centre and the Taliban. The cartoonist’s realistic drawings of a father and son, showing the humanity of refugees, together with the use of irony and evocative language, are deliberately employed to help convey Pryor's point of view.

In a male dominated society, the women of Afghanistan face many pressures and limits that are taught and ingrained in them at a very young age. Women and girls are seen as less than men and boys. They are viewed as being weak and unimportant. They are often pulled out of school and shunned to the house during their middle school years. Society sees no reason to educate girls when the whole point of girls is to serve as wives to their husbands and mothers to sons. They are taught that their entire worth depends on how happy they make their husband. As depicted by Jenny Norberg in The Underground Girls of Kabul, Afghanistan is a horrible place to be a woman. The pressure to birth sons, uphold a perfect reputation, and the economic disadvantages women face often force them to become men to have basic human respect and survival.

In the movie, “The Kite Runner”, the political turmoil reveals the effects it has on the lives of two people with different religious and ethnic backgrounds. As a whole, while the movie is about the childhood of a young afghan boy, it also reveals the major political events that happen during the time and how these political events severely affect the lives of those in the movie. Throughout Amir’s childhood, the political transitions of Afghanistan are also shown – for example: first it was the state of Kabul during the monarchy, and then the founding of the republic, and then the Soviet invasion. All of these events each have a significant impact on both Amir and Hassan. The destruction of Kabul forces Amir and his father to leave the country

In response to the FCB, different resistance groups have emerged. For example, the Boggs Center to Nurture Community serves as a reaction to the crisis. The group aims to offer comfort to the citizens through a “revolution of thinking, values and living” (Presby 2015, p. 271). Moreover, recent trouble over Water has caused uproar in the city. Without citizen consent, the FCB shut down water to about 18,000 during the summer of 2014 (Presby 2015) and “households were shut off for due bills as little as $150, and they were often not given clear notice or warning of shutoff procedures” (Presby 2015, p.271). Such actions caused activists fighting against this FCB measure with the

Social conditions are what shape a country. Over the years, people, not only in Afghanistan, but around the world create norms that define people’s roles in life, their future, and how they should be treated based on their gender and beliefs. Khaled Hosseini’s first novel, The Kite Runner, comments on the social conditions of Afghanistan through telling a story about the lives of two Muslim boys; a privileged Sunni Pashtun, Amir, and his long-time friend and servant, Hassan, a loyal but disadvantaged Shia Hazara. Hosseini expresses Amir’s uncertain feelings toward Hassan which form the decisions he makes throughout the book. These choices result in Amir destroying his relationship with Hassan. The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini is a commentary on the social conditions in Afghanistan as shown through the roles of women and men in society and the ideals of Afghan culture. Unfortunately, these problems are still active in most of Afghanistan.

Imagine if the people of a country did not have clean water to shower with, gas for transportation, or a place to live in because of the lack of natural resources. These resources can be found within certain areas of Afghanistan’s geological setting. Discovering them would have an economic and political effect on society. Natural resources are vital because Afghans utilize them to help carry out daily life. In the novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Amir’s father built an orphanage using the materials Afghanistan provided.
