  • A range of old reasons like caste and cultural differences - and some relatively new ones such as migration and religious tensions
  • Segregation has inevitably led to curious business opportunities. Sensing that mixed neighbourhoods were fast disappearing and even well-to-do-Muslims were finding it a problem to buy property,
  • So despite the fact that more than a third of India's Muslims live in cities and towns - making them the most urbanised community of a significant size - poverty and discrimination continues to easily push them into ghettos.

  • In the end, segregated housing - now increasingly driven by religious discrimination - is a blight on India's progress.

    This article discussed the effect of discrimination to the point of migration. It shows the extremities of the living areas in India. These tensions create a term that Loic Wacquant used, "neighbourhoods of exile." The dangers and unsafe environments that many people live in are definite push factors.

  • On 15 December, self-styled Muslim cleric Man Haron Monis held several people hostage in the Lindt Chocolat Cafe at Sydney's Martin Place. The 16-hour stand-off ended with police commandos storming the cafe. Two hostages and Monis died
  • But the incident follows months of concern over the effect on Australia's domestic security of those who fight for, or sympathise with, militant Islamist groups in Iraq and Syria.
  • Authorities are concerned about a minority of Australia's small Muslim community
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Terrorism expert Clive Williams of the Australian National University says Australian jihadists are Sunni Muslims, the branch of Islam which the Islamic State (IS) follows
  • Man Haron Monis, the gunman responsible for the 15 December Sydney cafe siege, was born in Iran and sought asylum in Australia in 1996, later styling himself as a Muslim cleric and "spiritual healer".
  • sophiefreeman7 on 18 Dec 14
     
    This article discusses an event that took place this Sunday in Sydney, Australia in a coffee house where Man Haron Monis held people hostage of which two had been killed.  This relates to our unit of religion as this conflict most likely relates to religion as there have been many concerns the Muslim community in Australia as they are a minority. Because of this, Muslims are trying to gain more territory as that is the goal for most universalizing religions in hopes to get more followers and spread the religion.  In relation to AP Human Geography, what might have caused Muslims to migrate to Australia even though it is not located near the hearth of where the religion was born?

    -Violence arose between the Shiites and the Sunnis in Iraq because ISIS was murdering anyone who wasn't a Sunni. A while back the Shiites drove the Sunni's out of their houses but now it's the opposite.  -Why can' t these two groups get along since they are part of the same religion?

    The article associated with this post speaks of a unique project called Tour Triangle that will dominate the Paris skyline with a massive tower. The skyscraper will provide many jobs and may take the city's beautiful culture into a more modern setting. That's why cultural landscape could be associated with the article. After the lifting of the ban on buildings over 36 meters tall, a large number of politicians began to realize the need for an architectural masterpiece that would offer temporary construction jobs to the public, include some more up to date buildings, and give the community extra office space. The story behind the Triangle expresses the urban French culture found here, because of it's strong ties and love for its historic roots, while attempting to keep their city in line with today's first world standards. However, the ideas of the people was also expressed in the passage, because of their discouragement of the project showing that they dislike the transition to newer buildings and they feel strongly about housing issues in their area, which is strengthened by the tower.

Population AND Migration

shared by Mr. Reidy on 01 Sep 15 - No Cached
  • Enumerators of the 1900 census were instructed to record the names of every person in the household. Enumerators were asked to include the following categories in the census: name; address; relationship to the head of household; color or race; sex; month and year of birth; age at last birthday; marital status; number of years married; the total number of children born of the mother; the number of those children living; places of birth of each individual and the parents of each individual; if the individual was foreign born, the year of immigration and the number of years in the United States; the citizenship status of foreign-born individuals over age twenty-one; occupation; whether the person could read, write, and speak English; whether the home was owned or rented; whether the home was on a farm; and whether the home was mortgaged. The categories allowed Congress to determine persons residing in the United States for collection of taxes and the appropriation of seats in the House of Representatives.
  • s, the Twelfth Census of the United States. In addition, the names of those listed on the population schedule are linked to actual images of the 1900 Federal Census, copied from the National Archives and Records Administration microfilm, T623, 1854 rolls.

Religion makes Israeli-Palestinian conflict more volatile | CCTV America - 0 views

religion conflict

shared by alexandergray on 18 Dec 14 - No Cached
  • Religious leaders have asked both sides to back away from a blood feud based on religion.
  • Muslims and Jews feel threatened by a possible loss of control over sites that both consider sacred. Both turned houses of worship into battlegrounds.
  • “A religious war usually is motivated by a belief that God is on your side. God is a very potent actor in international relations. You are ready to make great sacrifices. You have great patience, which means you are ready to fight for a long time if God is on your side,”
  • alexandergray on 18 Dec 14
     
    The religious aspect of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is explored in light of a recent firefight. Why would both sides take shelter in their respective religious places of worship? Wouldn't that be against the rules both religions have to bring a conflict into a religious place?

  • Those who insist on stressing the religious dimension are bolstered by the reaction from Hamas to this attack, as the Islamist group has, with bleak predictability, praised and celebrated it.
  • For some months now, this hard right coalition government has not just tolerated but actively supported a movement agitating for "Jewish prayer rights" at Temple Mount/Haram al-Sharif - a sacred site to both Muslims and Jews.
  • This movement goes against a long-established status quo agreement, whereby non-Muslims can visit, but not worship at this holy site housing both the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.

  • the issue is political, not religious
  • But pushing this conflict into the religious realm, defining it as a "religious war", serves a clear political purpose. It means the Israeli government can bind its cause with the "war on terror", claiming that Palestinians are just like ISIL in their motivation - a hyper-violent, hyper-fundamentalist jihadi mission rather than a quest for self-determination. It deprives Palestinians of cause or motivation, save for just one factor: religious hatred.
  • religious-hate
  • with religion so rampantly abused to weaponise increasingly brutal wars in the Middle East, the worst thing we could do is to frame the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as religious. Now more
  • willowyorlets on 18 Dec 14
     
    These territorial conflicts are coming to be due to the fact that Islamic and Jewish Holy Lands are build right on top of each other and these two groups have to fight for control. Why can't Jerusalem just become a non governed state? Why do any of the conflicting religions need control?

    My article relates similarly to your article. Religions have different beliefs and outlooks on certain things and it gets in the way and causes problems. All over the world there are tons of religious issues, but I think this is one of the most important since it has been continuing for many decades. What will they do to resolve the issue? How will they solve it?

    Interesting article ... Why do you think Hershey Park needs to create a new attraction this coming year?  In what ways does the park operate like a city? Think about it and share your thoughts. 
  • owencourtney on 25 Aug 14
     
    Hershey park might need to create another ride to boost their profits. I am sure they expected a jump in sales when skyrush came out but, it hurt some peoples legs. Personally I think it's worth it for the ride. Anyway; In what ways does the park operate like a city?; I think the park operates like a city in a manner that all the rides are constantly informed of the weather. The security service acts as the news team and reports dangerous electrical storms on their way to the houses(rides) and tells them to shut down so no one gets hurt.

    Why would Gaza residents risk going back home if they knew that daily bombings, lack of vital services, and the destruction of their homes and belongings is dangerously inevitable?

    Great question. Any thoughts, APHUG?
  • owencourtney on 25 Aug 14
     
    Possible the people heard a rumor that the war was almost over. Or maybe they just want to return to their home in which they've been living in for the past years and have a connection to it. Lastly, people might have a feeling that if they grew up in a house they're ok to die in it too.

    I really like the picture at the very bottom of the home screen (with the continents made out of music notes). And I really enjoyed listening to the numerous, numerous styles you chose. The throat singing was my favorite, obviously. You need to learn how to do that. Maybe you'll get extra credit!

    You guys did such a great job! It was very organized and incorporated great images and color! One connection I noticed in your work that we learned in our class activities, when we take notes from the book, is that the image on the Home page that shows how different styles of music are related, was similar to the one found in the book and used similar music style names like funk and hard house.
