Pakist A Social And Political Tool

Society in Pakistan is one that is by tradition male-dominated. Men are the breadwinners for their family, they are the ones with jobs, and they have say in the government. Women, meanwhile, are limited to a domestic lifestyle in which they are the caretakers for children and rarely are seen alone in public. Because of these roles, the education of girls is much less of a concern, leading to many women going to school for little, if any, time.

History of terrorism in Pakistan goes back to the time of Russian capture of Afghanistan. Pakistani powers have long had binds to residential aggressor amasses that help propel the nation 's center outside strategy engages. India and Afghanistan have blamed Pakistan 's security and discernment administrations for playing a "twofold amusement".

Pakistani culture consists of many different ethnic groups, languages, gender roles, and religions. “It is the world's sixth most populous country, has an estimated population of 176 million. The annual population growth of 2.1% resulted in the population quadrupling in the past 50 years with 41% below age 15” (Marvi & Howard, 2013). The different ethnic groups that Pakistani culture consists of are, Punjabi which is the largest ethnic group, Pashtun, Sindhi, and smaller groups, Pakistan (2017). Due to the diversity in Pakistan, there are many languages spoken in Pakistani culture. English language is primarily taught in the schools. Another largely use language is Urdu, “which is the nation's unifying language”, Pakistan (2017). There are many other languages used in Pakistan which usually correlates with the ethnic group one is a part of.

A common misconception is that Muslim women are oppressed all around the world, but this is a fallacy created through the use of propaganda and misinformation. The so-called "oppression of women" is not a characteristic of Islam at all and to say otherwise would be out of ignorance. Reza Aslan (2015), a scholar of all religions, makes it clear that oppression of women is not related to Islam but to particular countries. A common propaganda technique is to use Saudi Arabia as the standard of Islam. This could not be further from the truth, as many Muslim countries view women equally if not beyond that. There are dozens of Muslim countries who have had more female heads of state than the US; Algeria, Turkey, Sudan, Senegal. There are a handful of Muslim countries around the world, who mention women's equal rights in their constitution, whereas the U.S is one of 32 countries who does not include an explicit gender equality guarantee (Ravitz, 2015). Using an uneducated generalization, that holds no merit, causes inconsistencies and mistaken impressions of a particular

Modern day Pakistan’s land has traditionally been Muslim for many years. In the early nineteenth century it was ruled by Britain and considered part of the British Indian Empire. In 1947, a partition was granted from the British, and Pakistan and India were created as their own countries. As the previous British Empire divided,

Theology: Let me share with you a little bit about my experience as a religious minority in Pakistan, a community that makes up only about 2.6 % of the whole population of the country. I studied in a Roman Catholic institute that was run by Irish nuns. The students, teaching staff and workers were all Muslim, except for a handful of Christians in the whole institute. Though as a matter of fact, it was before the independence of Pakistan and during the rule of the British Empire that the English missionaries had been able to reach out to the so called “uncivilized” people of the subcontinent, they were able to reach out and minister to these people through the planting of educational institutes, hospitals and inviting people into a safe sanctuary that protected the dignity of these people at these institutes. The nuns did not defer teaching the administrativeand academic

One of them being the long term effects that has resulted because of this issue. Because of their education neglection, they lack many basic skills that are needed for work. Reading and writing is needed for many jobs, and if they are illiterate they are unable to perform the assigned tasks. Also, there are some jobs in Pakistan that are specific to women, and because of the lack of skills these jobs are always in need. Another long term effect is that many girls are forced into marriage at a young age. Their lack of education leads them to marry an older working man because according to some Pakistani representatives, girls should be prepared to become 'obedient' wives and mothers rather than be educated (Girl’s Education in Pakistan, 2013). Poverty and debt is another long term effect that many are facing because of their lack of education. Women are unable to get a decent paying job to support themselves or their children if they do not have the skills needed for the job. Historical significance is also seen through the Taliban. They are a group of people who have gained power throughout the years and because of them many actions were created. Undeserved deaths, many bombings and unnecessary violence, strict rules, and banning of ordinary things are just a few (Who are the Taliban, 2015). One last reason that the issue of girl’s education in Pakistan has historical significance to it is that many have been inspired by it. Malala was just the start of it, and it inspired girls and women of all ages in not only Pakistan, but all over the world to fight for their education. Many different organizations are working to help increase the number of girls that attend school all over the world. Some are The Global Business Coalition for Education, A World at School, and The Malala Fund. Marriage-free child zones are also being set up in countries where girls are being married off at a young

This is mainly because the proponent would use religion as a political tool; thus, all decision making process are not based on the voice of majority and for the people’s interests, rather to the will of its leader. Pakistan is an example of how religion is “part and parcel” of the state. The Islamic Republic of Pakistan adopt Islamic law its constitution and judiciary; further, scientific explanation also drag in religion (ibid). As a result, fundamentalist movements finds its safe haven in the country that has been politically conflicted in many decades. Fundamentalist movements seek radical transformation based on beliefs that substantially contradict the myths under which prevailing political institutions legitimize their

Women are subject to inferior treatment in almost every aspect of life throughout the world, whether it be in the workforce, in the household, or even in the eyes of the court. However, one of the most prominent and shocking aspects that most individuals believe treat women as the inferior sex is through the eyes of religion. Many believe that the religion with the most extreme treatment of women is Islam. Though, the majority of religions today and throughout history have viewed women as the lesser sex, Islam is categorized as the religion with the top maltreatment of women, which is not true and the treatment of women varies with country. Unfortunately, Egypt has been named one of the worst countries for women, which happens to be a country with a high concentration of Islam population. Within the country many feminist have sprung up, most notably the radical Aliaa Magda Elmahdy.

Islam as a religion that presents itself with a variety of similarities with many other major religions in the society. They do relate in different ways based on their ways of doing things and perception of different ideas.

In the last four decades, Pakistan receiving much more from the international communities, than given to the Afghan Muslim refugees. Besides helping the Afghan government's opposition groups like the Taliban, Pakistan was even kind enough to guest the guest of the world in a military base. Zalmay Khalilzad could provide you with much more information than I could. He happens to be an expert, when it comes Afghan and American Taliban. As we witnessed his expertise for the interest of all Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and the rest of us. By endorsing Donald Trump, he not only stepped on the faces of most the thirty million of Afghans in Afghanistan, but also one and a half billion of other nationalities worshiping as Muslims. You are not naive, neither am I. I saw what you saw. Especially him was being America's Ambassador to his motherland of Afghanistan and the Islamic Republic of of Iraq. Heavenly Earth, United Nations as well. But please remind yourselves to purchase a copy of his next book. Not because all the proceeds directly goes to the Muslim children, but because it will make your head

The epicenter of Pakistani culture is in danger. Punjab is a region that spans from Pakistan to India, is about the size of the U.S. state of Wyoming, contains over half of Pakistan’s population, and is home to an immense amount of Pakistani culture. One particular city in Punjab, Lahore, is described as Pakistan’s “cultural capital.” Islamic extremists known as the Taliban are now trying to dismantle the so-called “cultural capital” in hopes of assuming control of the country. Over the past couple of years, the Taliban have assaulted the province with waves of terrorism. The National Geographic Magazine article titled “Pakistan’s Heartland Under Threat” is about author John Lancaster’s adventure into the Pakistani province with the objective

Religion goes hand in hand with culture, and in the Muslim countries this is very apparent. The cultural importance of men over women may have stemmed from religion, however it was further recognized when imperialist countries introduced capitalism and class divides. “Islam must combat the wrenching impact of alien forces whose influence in economic, political, and cultural permutations continues to prevail” (Stowasser 1994, 5). Now, instead of an agrarian state where both men and women had their place, difficulties have formed due to the rise in education and awareness that women can and do have a place in society beyond domestic living Though women are not equal to men anywhere around the

Women in pakistan are treated extremely different than men even from birth. When a boy is born they are celebrated but girls are hidden away because they bring shame to the family. Women are believed to only have two roles in live give birth to children and to cook. Its very hard for a women to get a job but if they can its not usually one they want. Malala

To achieve this understanding, I have organized my paper into four sections. In the first section, I will discuss Pakistani society and culture. This will show the cultural diversity give some history and give some insight into why they belief and values are what they are. In the second section, I will discuss etiquette and customs. This will cover meet and greet courtesies. I will end my paper with a third section; this information will provide foresight into Pakistani protocols and relations with United States. The fourth section, my conclusion, will tie in the importance to the United States Army.
