Both of my parents are from Afghanistan, a country where education is restricted. Extremists raiding the country forcing young girls to stay home and maintain an honorable reputation. In a country such as Afghanistan—young girls are attacked with acid for simply wanting an education. The thought of strong educated women seems to threaten the ego of these men. When people around me ask me where my family is from, I am silenced, ashamed even. How can I relate myself to a country where women are treated as less of a human being?

Farah Ahmedi undertook the mission of crossing the Afghanistan border to get to Pakistan in search of a better life. LeBron James persevered though fans full of hatred after he left his home team and joined a new team. Finally, Aengus tackled the expedition of trying to find true love he wanted but never found it. However, two characters had tons of persistence and determination in order to push through a hard time and all of them had the perseverance to try to succeed in their goal.

Throughout history, women were labeled as the inferior sex. It wasn’t until 1920—less than one hundred years ago—that women obtained the right to vote in the United States with the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment (History, par. 11). In recent years, women have obtained much more respect than their ancestors, but sexism still runs rampant in various parts of the world. The social realm is not the only thing affected by male dominance; birth rates and population growth rates in countries such as India and China are also greatly altered by gender imbalance. Mara Hvistendahl provides information on the negative impact of global gender imbalance in her essay, Missing: 163 Missing Women. Alternatively, Kwame Anthony Appiah suggests in his

Upon my arrival, I was met by a Hispanic female adult verbally identified as Martha Paredes. Paredes stated that about 1530 hours her son Stephan Paul (06/06/2001) was "jumped" by six students from school (Mojave High School) as he was walking home. Paredes stated that Paul identified one of the students as Christian Medrano(04/18/2002). Paredes then stated she found Medrano's facebook page and was able to locate his address(57 Rosa Rosales Ct). Paredes went on to say that she spoke with Medrano's mother (Alma Fuentes) who stated that Medrano has a history of miss behaving and that if Paredes needed to press charges on Medrano to do so. Paredes then stated that she was going to go to the school on Wednesday in an effort to try and identify the other juveniles involved. Paredes completed a voluntary statement and emailed me a screenshot of Medrano's Facebook page.

When Natalee Holloway went missing her face was plastered on every television screen to promote her being found. Some people wonder why white females make national news more often than any other female or male for that matter. In the argumentative essay “Not Only Natalee is Missing” Anne-Marie O’Connor tries to explain how and why people make national news. O’Connor’s essay starts out based on the idea that white females are the only ones that make national news, but her use of pathos, ethos, and logos, prove this idea to be based upon economic status and race rather than gender alone.

2:15 PM, January 13,1999, students of Woodlawn High School are being released to go home. One student does not make it. Hae Min Lee disappears after school. She is found February 9,1999 in a local park, dead by manual strangulation. Days later, Adnan Syed, Hae’s former boyfriend, is arrested and soon is convicted for her murder. The court draws this conclusion from one sole person’s story; a story that constantly changes and doesn’t add up. Upon further examination, additional evidence is found that pokes holes in this person’s story and other findings produced an alibi proves Adnan’s innocence. Due to an unreliable witness, inconsistent story, and an alibi for Adnan Syed, Adnan should be proven innocent.

giving birth to Zalmai without pain medicine, due the government not giving proper health necessities to the women hospital like X-rays, suctions, or antibiotics (Page 290-291). It was very hard for Laila to give natural birth without simple medicine that would have helped decrease the pain during the labor. But, she told the doctor “cut me open and give me my baby”, this demonstrates how strong she was to bare the pain, despite sacrificing her own life to save Zalmai. Lastly, Laila would sacrifice herself to visit Aziza in the orphanage for hours despite of getting beatings, slaps, whips, punches and much more abuse from the Taliban authorities when she tried to visit her (Page 321). This displays how Laila was willing to try and see Aziza

For this end of module assessment I will be looking at the case study of Safia Nazir, her husband Nazir Rashid and their 3 children Taqi, Asif and Amina who live in Scotland and have been bought to the attention of social services for various reasons. I will be demonstrating my understanding of what the social workers role would be in relation to this family, including the skills and knowledge needed to meet the family’s individual needs. The social worker in this case study is called Shona and what I have read of her and her initial steps to work with the family come across as appropriate and professional. I will go into more detail about Shona’s work and my understanding of her role later in the assignment and make potential comparisons or reflect on what I may or may not do differently. I will consider issues in relation to my personal and professional values and will also refer to policy and practice from English legislation; as this is my country of practice. I will be focusing on early intervention and the initial steps in social work, such as making contact, meeting and the initial assessment.
