An article on the status of women in Islam emphasizing different aspects of life and what obligations a Muslim woman has. Obligations toward her husband as a wife obligations toward the society as well as religious obligations.

I am sorry to say that, this article is full of religious dogma that, in part attempts to justify the historic and continued mistreatment of women.

Prayer has been a topic of some controversy with the public school systems in America for over 50 years, it has been federally banned other than silent prayers, and in some states it has been banned all together. This is a disgusting violation of Americans first amendment right, as well as our inalienable rights as human of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, for some prayer is a pursuit of happiness. To ban ones ability to pray in school, while they are being taught as if God were not real, is a outrageous violation of the rights of not just Christians, but Islamic folk, and people of Jewish decent. Prayer offers peace, and a hope for salvation, and a denial of such ability in a place where most students attend is an outrageous violation of our rights as humans, and as Americans.

I am on the fence with this topic. I think that all Americans should have the right to pray in school but on the other hand I feel that it may be disrespectful to the third party. This is a tough topic for all people weather they are religious or not.

America is the land of opportunity and freedom. We have the freedom to follow any religion. I think that banning prayer in schools is something that takes away from that right. If it's pray is part of the religion, why is it frowned upon and seen as disrespectful? Our country should respect and go for what it stands for.

This article looks at the prejudice of the legal system toward men in child custody cases. Anti-father and pro-mother bias plays a part in a judge's decision to award full or partial custody. Gender bias is prevalent in our American Justice system, even when bound by a code of judicial obligations.

Wow this article was very interesting and kind of eye-opening to me, I guess I never fully realized (until now) that this is an issue! Thank you for sharing this!

I have thought this for a long time now. As women become more a part of the work force, more men are taking on the roles as the primary caregiver for children. because of this, I believe that the old stereotype that men are gone all the time and have no idea on how to be a caregiver is completely false.

A well considered, realistic approach to a "war" that has largely been a "War on the American People". Obligations imposed by the rich and powerful upon the weak are not obligations at all but extortion.

This is an article describing a highly publicized case where a man was demoted because of a post he made on Facebook about gay marriages. The court ruled in favor of him because that was a personal expression that he made outside of work

A brief description of women's role in the Islamic Culture The women's rights in education, marriage, financial responsibilities.

Getting your child vaccinated not only helps them, but everyone around them. Vaccinations are not only made so your child doesn't get the disease, but also so they don't spread it.

This article discusses how the United States is behind when it comes to providing paid maternity leave. The United States does not guarantee paid maternity leave.

I feel like every women should be guaranteed paid maternity leave. The government constantly wants us to re produce to keep the world going, so they should encourage women that they'll be fine with money and won't have to worry about missing work.

Maternity leave should be a MUST. Pregnancy is tough and the delivery is life changing. Mother's go through all different kinds of changes. It is unfair for a mother to have to go through these changes all while worrying about having to go to work and missing and wondering how her child might be doing.

Universally, there are about 168 million children who are working in labour. They make not even close to a dollar an hour and they don't even have time to attend school and to work on their futures. Terre des Hommes is dedicated to millions of these kids who have to take on the most dreadful kinds of child labour. For example, they are forced into prostitution and to be household slaves. They are also obligated to work in factories, mines and, plantations.
