Cultural Impacts on the Religion of Islam
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page discussion of the religion of Islam and how, as a result of its rapid spread around the world, it has experienced significant differences in the way that it is both presented and practiced. Dismisses our contemporary Western view of Islam in the face of Islamic terrorism to insist that Islam as a whole is a religion of peace and stability. Asserts, however, Islam can be a multifaceted religion, a religion whose specifics can vary somewhat given the cultural influence within which it is being practiced. In all, however, the creed and the system of Islam continue to stand despite their sometimes negative perception by others and the tremendous cultural insistence on change.

Cultural Variations in End of Life Care
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the variation in the way we as families tend to the needs of our dying family members. The author notes that while at one time in U.S. history all families, irrespective of culture, took an active role in dying needs of their loved ones, today many of us have turned that responsibility over to health care professionals. There are, however, exceptions to this observation. This paper contends that the closer an individual is to the traditional dictates of their culture, the more likely they are to maintain a strong family vigilance. African American, Chinese American, and Muslim American cultures are assessed in regard to this contention. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Empirical Research Proposal Regarding the Oppression of Women in Islamic States
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page report discusses whether or not the oppression of women in Islamic states is based in the religious theology of Islam or in the cultural contexts of individual nations. Many believe that the Quran (Koran) teachings and male dominance have caused this situation when the actual problem has been more directly related to the interpretation of holy scripture by men. It is the fundamentalist extremists who should take the blame for distorting the teachings of Islam.

FIS (Islamic Salvation Front) In Algeria: Political Or Terrorist Organization?
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Arguing how the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) is a political organization supported by Algeria's voting constituency, Remli contends that FIS cannot be classified as a terrorist group. FIS received votes from the vast majority (84%) of Algerians during both the 1990 and 1991, clearly illustrating how its acceptance by the people precludes the likelihood that FIS is a terrorist organization. Instead, Remli argues, the political nature of FIS is meant to "solve the crisis" that currently exists; with the likes of doctors and engineers comprising FIS, he contends that people from all walks of life have banded together as a means by which to fix this political problem.

Foundations of Terrorism
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper assessing the influence that the history of Algeria’s independence and Palestine’s struggle against Israel has had on the development of terrorism as it exists in today’s world. In many respects, it seems as though terrorism has become little more than a bad habit for many of those promoting and practicing it – a lethal habit, but a habit nonetheless. One author explains that one of the reasons for the persistence of terrorism is that it was a component of successful efforts of Algeria’s nationalists in gaining Algeria’s independence.
