Edublog Assignment #8

islamophobia is when someone dislikes or has something directly against islam or muslims and are prejudice towards them for their religion or how they look.meaning they do not like people of muslim religion for many reasons like for example because of how there has been a history of muslims who are terrorists.

I think oppression has occurred to people who have islamophobia because something probably bad happened to these islamophobic people like they have lost a loved one to a muslim attack or because of the history of muslim terrorists.

The people resisting oppression are the muslim and islam people because they are constantly looked at as dangerous terrorists and also they have faced discrimination because of their religion.The oppressors are the islamophobic people who discriminate islams and muslims.https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/feb/23/north-carolina-islamophobia-muslims-threats

“There is a real fear, there is a real anxiety – it’s a different level of desperation and hopelessness – that things are getting worse,”

Based on the criteria for reliable sources i think this information is not trustworthy because the person who wrote this article did not witness any of these events they wrote about and also they did not go through any of these situations.

The category of oppression that is happening is social because social systems organize people based on the relationships they have with one another, and how people behave in those relationships and in this situation the islamophobic people behave towards islam and muslim people.

The level of oppression happening is interpersonal oppression because interpersonal oppression happens because of how one person has behaved towards another and in this situation the islamophobic people discriminate and do not like islam and muslim people and that is how they act towards people islam and muslim religion. Something that caused oppression is how people of different races who are islamophobic look at islam and muslim people as terrorists or just don’t like people who are of islam or muslim religion because another experience they have had with muslim people.

An effect of that oppression is how people of muslim and islam people are discriminated for their religion and how they are looked at as terrorists.

I live in east oakland. The neighborhood i grew up in was very quiet and calm. As a person I would describe myself as calm and i am nice to others. As a friend i would describe myself as I listen to them I support their decisions. Some aspects of my assigned identities that I claim are where I was born, my hair , and my name.

 

like skinny girls so the image I used to represent a dominant narrative is a group of men cursing at eachother. This dominant narrative means how negative people can be and they don’t think twice about they say. This image maTo begin with the first image I used to describe a dominant narrative was a pair of eyes which for me has a lot of meaning, like how people are always watching and will not always like what you do or support you. This image made me feel like people are always watching you and what you do in life if they like it or not.The second image I chose to represent a dominant narrative was an ad saying how women should not be skinny because they should be a certain size for men to like them.This image made me feel like women should not have to change how they look and feel bad about themselves. The third de me feel like society is too negative to one another and they judge people over appearance rather than what’s inside and getting to know the person.

 

Another kind of narrative is a counter narrative . The first image I chose to represent a counter narrative is a picture of a women smiling because in life it important to smile.The second picture I used to represent was a hand saying no more . the third picture I used was the word enough.these images made me feel like the women smiling was that even in negative times you have to smile and stay positive. I chose the picture of a women holding a poster saying no more because in society women shouldn’t change just to be liked or part of a group.

In conclusion people see me as a quiet shy person and they think i get perfect grades  If people really knew me they would know that I am not as quiet and I am not perfect and I struggle with things just like everyone else.It is important that I correct the dominant narrative about myself with a counter narrative telling the story of who I am is important becuase people will assume something you are not and that is not who I am. What I learned in this unit was about dominant and counter narratives and how important it is to correct the dominant narrative.
