Fatima Ahmed, an American-born Pakistani Muslim, recounts her experiences moving to different parts of the United States with her family as a child after 9/11. She faced discrimination and hostility as one of the only Muslim families in predominantly white Champaign, Illinois and Indiana due to rising Islamophobia after the terrorist attacks. By high school in Maryland, where there was a larger Muslim population, she began regularly wearing her hijab and found it helped her feel more confident in her Muslim identity despite some divisions in the Muslim community there. She believes having experienced ignorance towards Muslims in different areas has made her a proud American-Muslim.
The document summarizes Charles Karelis's book "The Persistence of Poverty" which argues that behaviors commonly associated with poverty such as not working or abusing substances are rational responses to being extremely impoverished. Karelis replaces the standard economic theory of diminishing marginal utility with a theory of increasing marginal utility for the very poor. He believes the poor engage in so-called poverty-sustaining behaviors not because they are irrational, but because their situation of having very few resources means any small gain makes little difference to their lived experiences of hardship. The document examines Karelis's arguments and examples in detail over many paragraphs.

The document discusses several major empires and events in history:
1) Alexander the Great created a large European empire seeking peace and religious harmony. Rome offered civilization and laws but also strived for domination. The Roman Empire eventually fell due to invasions, economic troubles, and loss of virtue.
2) Early Portuguese voyages to Africa sponsored exploration hoping to find riches. Europeans then explored and colonized other parts of the world, spreading Christianity through missionaries.
3) All major empires practiced slavery until the 19th century. Between 1492-1820, over 5 times as many Africans went to America than Europeans in the transatlantic slave trade. Slavery was eventually abolished

2. International Convention on the Rights
of the Child
article 2
All children are equal.
They have the right
to be treated without
discrimination because of their
race, sex, language, religion, opinion,
property, income,
particular needs
or
their appearance.
Nevertheless, discrimination still exist
Only 1 in 4 young people in Greece
declares that he knows his rights
in case of falling victim of discrimination
3. We all need to
live, to play, to enjoy, to think, to love and to be loved
We are all equal. No matter of the
color, if I'm a boy or a girl, which
country I come from, what
language I speak,
and what my religion is. I have the
right to be treated equally and
with respect.
.
4. Child Labour
?States Parties recognize the right of the
child to be protected from economic
exploitation and from performing any
work that is risky or that might jeopardize
their education or be harmful to health or
physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social
development ... ?
(Convention on the Rights of the Child "- Article 32, 1989)
Child labor refers to the employment of children at regular and
sustained labour.
This practice is considered as an act of exploitation by many
international organizations and it is illegal in many countries.
This year the bell of the school did not hit for 100 million
children in the world, simply because they do not attend
school because they work according to estimates of the
International Labour Organisation.
The Children's Ombudsman estimates that
in Greece for over 100,000 minors work.
5. CHILD ABUSE
?Every child should be able to grow in normal conditions physically,
morally and spiritually.?
This is one of the several articles of the Declaration of the Rights of the
Child.
My mind runs to the book from which our teacher read to the class a few weeks
ago. It was the story of 'Iqbal' , one child abused physically and
spiritually, but in the end, fortunately managed to escape from the
nightmare.
Terrible images come alive in my mind. Children six, ten and twelve years old
tied in chains in a wet and dirty store where the sun's rays never reach. The
signs of abuse and violence are deep. Some water and food, a lot of work and
violence.
No right to education and play, no respect for physical integrity, no help.
The law tramples all possible rights of the child. And society? Closes eyes
and ears unable to react. Only some institutions and organizations make
efforts to make known the problem of child abuse in underdeveloped countries,
but still they do not manage to raise consciousness of the modern world.
That happens in "uncivilized countries." What happens in the
"civilized and developed countries?" Unfortunately, there are
abused children, too. Children who are abused physically and mentally,
seeking help but society turns them its back. Only some cases are known
through the newspapers, internet, television. And only then we recognize that
there is a problem of child abuse. Then we forget it and continue our lives
as normal. Until another incident is made known and we to start talking again
about the violation of children's rights.
There must be greater awareness of citizens, more publicity from the press
and other media on issues concerning children. Obligation of all is to
protect children and their rights and not remain indifferent when they are
violated in all countries of the world, authoritarian or democratic,
civilized or uncivilized.
(Margarita Papageorgiou , schoolgirl 6th grade)
6. Refugees
Are we are all familiar with the image?
Hordes of people with
horror on their faces , took
the road of flight with no
hope. They flee from their
country not for a better life,
a career or travel
experience, but the hope for life. Seeing pictures of refugees fleeing from
hunger and war we feel sorrow and compassion
for these people who are forced to flee from their
homeland under difficult conditions, without food
and water, to walk for days and nights. The
refugees are uprooted trees that must thrive in
any soil if transplanted. Can they?
Hellenism knows the taste
of refugees. If we face in a racist and
cowardly way the refugees, would it
not be like betraying our grandmothers
and grandfathers? It¡¯s our own history,
our own country, our life which unite
people and cultures.
Do not take advantage of them ...!
Treat them properly and humanely.
As young people we must be fighting for a better world.
DO NOT ACCEPT DISCRIMINATION!
(Katerina Fysari, Chris Kalaitzis students of sixth grade, 8th Primary School of Xanthi)
7. True stories should not be forgotten.
INTERVIEW from my grandmother Stella GKAVAKI, refugees from Eastern
Thrace
Question 1: Grandma, where are you from and how old are you?
Answer: I am from Toptsikioi Eastern Thrace
and I was born in August 1921.
Question 2: How do you live in Eastern Thrace?
Answer: We have lived a quiet
life until we left our homes and
our animals. All this is narrated
my mom, Kyrani.
Question 3: Tell me about the
time when the Greeks were
forced to flee from Eastern
Thrace as refugees.
Answer: In 1922, when I was one year old, happened the great persecution of the
Greeks from Asia Minor and Eastern Thrace. Ten families from Toptsikioi started
walking on foot and with carts to cross Eastern Thrace and settle in Greece. In
carts pulled by oxen that had been loaded with wheat flour, grains and just a
pot. For a month we crossed eastern Thrace until we got to the area of Xanthi. The
women cooked in the pot and knead bread.
Question 4: When you came to Greece where did you go?
Answer: When we arrived in Greece,
we settled in Tsifliki of Hassan Aga. Each family had a room. In the same
area also other families had arrived from other parts of Eastern
Thrace and so we built huts around this manor.
Question 5: Where were you the first year, since you had no property and how did
you live?
Answer: When we were installed in Tsifliki Hassan Agha , men went
nearby a plain, cut wood and sold them in Xanthi. We also had the animals brought
from Eastern Thrace, ie cows, which were milked and we drank the milk and
made cheese and butter to eat.
Question 6: How were you welcomed by the local community? Were there rivalries
between refugees and the local population?
Answer: Our locals treated us well. In 1928 the state gave us a place to
live in the village called Elmali and gave each refugee their own property of
land. The state also sent workers who helped to build our homes from bricks.
Finally the state gave a confession to every family.

on you by violence because of:
? being a boy or a girl
? the appearance someone has
? your skills
? the country you come from
? the religion someone believes in
