Nasir's Intervention

Parents come home from a long day at work tired and agitated. When agitation gets the best of them, anything a child may do could possibly send them over the edge. A child may be loquacious and that makes their parent/guardian upset. Instead of being pragmatic towards the child, the parent takes all of the stress from work out on the child. Even though the parent may not mean anything of the words being said, they still affect the child. After the parent is able to calm down and realize yelling isn’t the answer, they talk to their child. Parents apologize for what they did and say they overreacted. Sometimes a parent feels compunction for yelling at their child and will bribe them with a toy or food to make them feel better. To conclude, each and every parent is able to relate to yelling at their children when they don’t deserve

Amir is often threatened by Hassan which Hassan is oblivious to, resulting in Amir feeling jealous and misusing his authority over Hassan, ‘though I stopped reading those when I saw he was far better at solving them than I was’, implying that Amir can’t handle an ‘inferior’ person exceeding him in any way. This jealousy develops into abuse towards Hassan when Amir uses his intelligence to make a fool of Hassan who is illiterate, ‘”When it comes to words, Hassan is an imbecile.” “Aaah” he said, nodding’. However, Amir would then feel ‘guilty’ for this and would give him an old shirt or a broken toy, ‘I would tell myself that was amends enough for a harmless prank’ displaying Amir’s malicious behaviour towards Hassan.

It is common for parents and their children to have disagreements and to have arguments but sometimes these disagreements can turn into abuse. Children usually use violence to try to “control or bully them” (Parenting and Child Health, n.d.) This violence usually occurs when the child “frightens, threatens or physically hurts them. It can involve using abusive language, pushing, shoving, kicking, throwing things, or threatening with knives or other weapons” ((Parenting and Child Heathen’s.) Children may abuse their parents due to the normalization of that parent getting abused by the other parent within their household. The child may use the parent that abusing the other parent as a model for the way they should act towards their parent as well and justify their actions simply as something that they observed in their household. The violence that children commit against their parents affects that subsystem because it leaves it broken. There is a strain within the parent and child relationship that forms a direct result of constant conflict and abuse between the child and parent. Sometimes, in child-child relationships, an older sibling may become “more aggressive” with their younger sibling because of the abuse that they have witnessed and been exposed to. (Fantuzzo, Mohr, 1999) The children can become socialized by the parents to believe that

The impact that global politics has had on the individuals of the Middle Eastern region is highlighted in the life experiences of Naji, Nasir, and Ghada. Each person is looking for a better tomorrow, but that is not easy to find due to the difficulties that arise in the differences in religion, culture, and even gender. Naji endured the struggles of being Jewish, Nasir had to deal with being a young man with slim job opportunities, and Ghada had to deal with the struggles of being a woman. Although each faced a slightly different problem, the one thing they had in common was their fight to survive.

I wake up in a cold sweat, I can’t see anything. The room is pitch black. My back is sore from hours of lying on the rough stone floor. I try to sit up, but I stay stuck to the ground - I’m paralyzed. Where am I? What’s going on? Why am I unable to move? I scream, but no sound comes out.

Andrea’s friend’s suggestion of repeatedly punching a pillow, while imagining she is hitting her boyfriend for talking to his former girlfriend at the school dance, is not an effective way to reduce Andrea’s anger because it can lead to the development of unconscious anger towards her boyfriend. In her case, a better method to deal with her anger would be to first calm down and relax by practicing controlled breathing. Once Andrea’s temper has lowered, she should effectively communicate with her boyfriend about the situation. Andrea should vent out her emotions by informing her boyfriend that noticing him talking to his former girlfriend was upsetting, all while maintaining a calm and acceptable communicating voice. After talking to her boyfriend
