Think about a time when you felt you were treated unfairly
Ms.Thigpen
Hazem Flifel
My Best Holiday Celebration Syria is a mixture of cultures , it combines between Christians and Muslims , as 30% of the population is Christians and the rest is Muslims ; people in this country celebrate together the same holiday festivities whereas Christians have many holiday celebrations such as the head of the year , and Muslims have two per a year such as ead feter and ead adha . And one of the best holiday celebrations ever was ead feter which we celebrate it for many reasons. One major reason of this holiday is to break the fast after thirty days without eating from the sunrise till sunset . And during this thirty days , people sit together sharing a large dinner then they watch many series and competitive programs on the TV . Moreover , most of them stay awake till evening telling each other stories and comics , and as Islamic people share the celebration of the head of the year with Christians , also Christians people share the dinner and the celebration with them. Furthermore , the important part of this celebration is the communication between families, whereas after this thirty days all the members of every family should visit each other, and across the generations the older instructs the younger , and the younger enlivens the older. In the same way , even who are unconnected by blood they should at least call each other on the phone and say hello , such as friends or neighbors. Another reason is to remind rich people to donate the poor people by many ways . For instance , there is something called Zakat which is mean that people should donate 2.7% of their money account for poor people by hand instead of philanthropic organization .In addition, neighbors exchange each other (rich people to poor people) the food they made to make close relations gather together. Other important reasons exist , but in conclusion ,I can tell from this celebration that the familiarity and the intimacy

    Rozin and Rozin ("Culinary Themes and Variations") touched on the importance of flavor principles and how different flavoring combinations are used to create food flavors distinct to their culture, uniting those of that culture to others of that culture and the culture's traditions. For those that follow Islam, Ramadan is an important part of the year, with food of heavy importance during this time. Cultural fasting is important in Ramadan, where eating traditional foods, using traditional cooking methods, sharing food with others, eating in excessive consumption, and eating the same soup to break their fast symbolizes that all those worshiping Islam celebrating Ramadan are all one people, no matter where they live (Buitelaar "Living Ramadan:…

    There seems to be an inexhaustible number of reasons that one person might go out of his way to assist another. One of the more interesting of these is to give to soothe one's conscience, or to avoid the guilt that comes with not offering help when you can. Ma Joad used this reason to feed the starving children at the first Hooverville they stayed at. She looked at those kids and tried to avoid giving them food so she could feed her family. Even Uncle Tom had a hard time eating his food with those hungry children looking on. Ma eventually soothed her conscience by giving the kids the dregs of the soup kettle, though she knew she should have given the entire helping to her family, as they had less than enough themselves.…

    Disparate treatment means unequal behavior toward someone because of a protected characteristic, and it is protected under Title VII of the U.S. Civil Rights Act. A disparate treatment violation occurs when an individual of a protected group is shown to have been singled out and treated less favorably than others in a similar situation on the basis of a characteristic that is protected under Title VII. For a disparate treatment claim to be upheld in court it must be plausible and shows that the employer intentionally discriminated.*** The issue is whether the employer’s actions were motivated by discriminatory intent. Discriminatory intent can be shown either by direct evidence, or through indirect or circumstantial evidence, but it must be…

    Another reason would be ones necessity that would benefit their needs. An example for this would a need of a certain drug that would benefit one from dying. The cost of the drug is approximately $5000 because only one retail store sells it. It doesn’t cost the shopkeeper even quarter the amount to make the drug. One day, you’re at the hospital and the doctor tells you the only way to save your sons life is with that drug. Since the drug is so expensive and you cant afford it, you ask for some money from family and friends but could only gather half the amount. So you go to the shopkeeper and explain to him the situation, and ask if he could possibly give you the drug and you will pay him the rest of the money later on. The shopkeeper refuses and tells you that he will make the…

    In my life I have been very fortunate that I have not been exposed to confrontational injustice. Nobody directly came to me and told me that I have for instance, not been chosen for a position because of my skin color, my age or any other characteristic of mine that makes me who I am. However, I do know that after 911 individuals, which look like people from the Middle East and or Middle Eastern names are being looked at very differently than before. Before 911 I was commonly referred to as the “prince of Persia” in my high school. After 911 I was even by good friends jokingly called a terrorist.…
