My Ideal Society : What Makes A Good Society?

Third, after the September 11 attack, the relationship has undergone some profound changes between America and other countries especially with Middle East, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Political people in Saudi Arabia did not accept what happened in the United States and other countries have been exposed to violence. In addition, people a treatment became very rude with Muslims because they thought Muslims are agree with American's situation. For example, my uncle came with his family in 2003; they faced a lot of problems with American people. Also, while his wife was wearing Islamic dress, she got a lot of harassments from citizens. So, they could not stay more than one week then they decided to travel to Canada to complete their vacation. In my experience, sometimes old people called terrorist because I wearing Islamic costume. However, after 9\11 Muslim people did many important things for American people. Also, Muslim people

Throughout the world there are countries where you can express yourself freely and other countries where you can not. Fortunately, Americans have the privilege of individual rights to have their own thoughts and communicate what they stand for. Although our government is a democracy, the media or other powerful communication tools influence the way Americans view perspectives because it is safer to have mainstream thoughts. Americans are led to think a certain way as suggested in the article Do I Look Like Public Enemy Number One written by Lorraine Ali. Ali, an Arab American, struggled to grow up in America due to racism aimed towards her and other people of Arab descent. Many Americans believe due to television and newspaper articles that

Americans strongly affirm the principles of religious freedom, religious tolerance, and separation of church and state. Nearly 9-in-10 (88 percent) Americans agree that America was founded on the idea of religious freedom for everyone, including religious groups that are unpopular. Ninety-five percent of Americans agree that all religious books should be treated with respect even if we don’t share the religious beliefs of those who use them. Nearly two-thirds (66 percent) of Americans agree that we must maintain a strict separation of church and state. Americans’ views of Muslims and Islam are mixed, however. As with other previously marginalized religious groups in U.S. history, Americans are grappling with the questions Islam poses to

Muslims are one of the most marginalized people in the U.S for their beliefs and their religion but after 9/11 discrimination and hate crimes against them had become even worse.Throughout the U.S people have been “Anti-Islam” and believed that the Muslim’s religion is absurd, want muslims to change their beliefs or, leave the country.According to “Anti-Islman Discourse in the United States in the Decade After 9/11:The Role of Social Conservatives and Cultural Politics”by David D.Belt on page 211-212, talks about how a post on Charisma News with an article title “Why I am Absolutely Islamophobic” was urging at the fact that Muslim-Americans needed to be deported as soon as possible ,or go under sterilization.Also Belt talks about one of Bush’s family friend being,Franklin Graham saying that he thinks the muslim’s religion is “very evil “and “wicked”.One last example a man named Gabriel had said Islam is the real enemy of America and that we supposedly “we will be doomed in war if we don’t realize it”. People are so brainwashed it honestly insane and very ignorant at the things people think about Muslims, its barbaric.They believe what Muslims believe in and their religion is wrong and they should switch to “Christianity” because it is the “American way “ or have them deported because the do not belong there and are “terrorist”.

What does it mean to form a more just society for the common good? I will be examining Dr. Martin Luther King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” as well as Gustavo Gutierrez’s essay, “The Option for the Poor Arises from Love of Christ.” Dr. King examines the facets of social injustice through a letter that he wrote while imprisoned for a nonviolent public protest. King’s letter is in response to a letter from eight fellow clergymen. In the letter from the clergymen they criticize King’s due process in seeking justice and his social injustice movement, so King responds with what I believe to be one of the greatest examples of a man who personifies what it means to form a more just society for the common good. He does not only speak on his behalf, but he speaks out all of humanity. Likewise, Gustavo Gutierrez examines specifically the poor in a similar manner, but believes that these “poor” people have found the ultimate meaning in life and we should all seek to have that same spiritual connection to God, for it would make our society a better place. The preferential option for the poor is seeking a deeper connection to God by bringing justice to light. Gutierrez and Dr. King both exemplify men who have truly set an example on how to form a more just society for the common good of humanity.

You vote for your government officials and you have the freedom to say whatever you would like to say. You can speak up for anything and everything that you believe in, such as your own rights and beliefs. You have unalienable rights and privileges that are protected. In America you have the right to practice any religion. There are many individuals who chose to leave their country in fear of being tormented and even killed because of their religion and beliefs, which is something that they don’t have to worry about in America as it is stated in the constitution. Being an American means much more than having rights, it’s having duties and being able to hold yourself

Muslim Americans are people whose religious belief is Islam, but they were born in America. Before September 11, 2001, Muslim Americans were rarely a discussion or a problem. However after September 11, 2001, Muslim Americans were the main topic. Even though Islam is a religious belief, people are fearful of anything associated with it. Some people discriminate against people who resemble those who are practice the religion. Even though it is not relevant to race, the difference between racism; and religious discrimination is often unclear to people. People believe that terrorists are Muslim activists, but that’s wrong because not all terrorists are Muslims.

Muslims now, suffer from discrimination in America ever since the 9-11 Era. Some people believe that muslims were the reason why 9-11 and other terrorists attacks happened. The hate for American-Muslims has increased by 78%. Even our president, Donald Trump, wanted a ban on immigration by Muslims. The anti-Muslim hate and violence have reportedly increased rapidly after Donald Trump’s comments on the Muslims. Social media and the news for months

Americans fear that the terrorists would some days attack their country, and kill them. This fear is vastly increased after the 2001 attack in New York City. Since then, most Muslims in America have been investigated by spying their phone talks, screening their profiles and so on . Although everybody knows that Muslim extremists are the only cause, they tend to relate it to all other innocent Muslims and discriminate them. It is not only affected Muslim adults but also their kids. They wanted to quit from schools because they were consistently called murderers. Worse than this, they received violent acts such as kicking, bullying just because they are born Muslims. The racism today is obviously shown in President Donald Trump’s traveling ban on seven Muslim countries which is later changed to six by excluding Iraq. It prevents all Muslims from these countries to travel to the US (Henderson & Graham). Even though the President wants to strengthen the security and makes Americans safe, the ban do affect thousands Muslims who do not involve in terrorism, and shows the discrimination against this

Being Muslim in America comes with many challenges and hurdles, but the struggle has just begun. American Muslims have faced a great deal of discrimination from the public and the American government, as well as anti-Muslim sentiment from media outlets that depict Muslims in a negative light. Islamophobia has increased since the 9/11 attacks and Muslims have experience an array of hate crime throughout the years. Unfortunately, due to the ignorance of some and the lack of understanding of others, Muslims have become prime targets and the face of all that’s evil in the world. However, if Americans learn to put their differences aside and try to understand Islam for what it truly is, a religion founded upon peace and justice, they will see that

I am an American and the America I believe in has given me rights; including freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

They believe if they have a “all-American identity” they will be free from discrimination (Green, 2016). For instance, Muslim Americans feel that there is a requirement to showcase more of a watered down version of their religion when they are out in public. Often they feel they have to hide their foreign names, change their appearances, avoid talking in their native language, or remove from their religious views. Muslim Americans believe they need to make themselves fit in with the American standard and a appear “normal” (Green, 2016). Muslim Americans have to hide their own practices and compensate for American standards in order to be free from

Century after century religions have contained sects, experienced trials and tribulations (some bigger than others), and continue to recruit, but most of all religions have offered culture, belief systems, status, and customs within the religious communities; this is also true of the Islam religion. As a whole the Islam religion can be broken into a number of sects, and below the sects are more sects, with more breakouts based on how, when, and where people practice that sect, of a sect, of a religion. The point being, there is no one face to a religion, including the Islam religion. At one point American Muslims led relatively private lives, but a number of things started to shine negative attention on the Islam religion including the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The media had a negative feeding frenzy with the Islamic culture and the U.S started to

Americans are saying that Islam goes against Americas way of life, thus disowning the Muslim culture. By simply rejecting the Muslim people, America is going against its fundamental ideal of unity that goes beyond any race, religion, and background. With many diverse cultures and religions in America, it is unrealistic to ostracize Islamists and deny them the right to live in a free country. Though time has elapsed since 9/11, Americans still view Muslims as a group that can never fully

An ideal society is considered to be a utopian society, defined as a society where everything is as good as it possibly can be for everyone living in that society. However this type of society has never existed before and continues to be a dream that remains locked up in our minds. Three philosophers who seem to propose an ideal just society are John Rawls, Karl Marx and Milton Friedman. I will be explaining what my vision of an ideal society is and what are the basis and fundamental principles that Rawls, Marx and Friedman use in order to obtain a just society.
