"Nafsi in Lunsford
The argument Nafsi is presenting is the way we connect to one another throughout "mysterious connections." Her mysterious connection to her life story was Huckleberry Finn. She mentioned that a woman was shot to death in a football stadium in Kabul because she was dressed improperly. That is really shocking how a country let some else shoot their eyeballs out, It's just silly. What does it mean exactly to dress improper? I believe that everyone should dress in their own unique way and style. I wonder why Muslims tend to have the most ridiculous regimen for example, women can't show their face in public. Nafsi used this article based on characters and values. She mentioned that Huck Finn helped the slave, even thought she knew it was forbidden. Sometimes, you just have to do the right thing no matter what and stand up for what you believe in cause if you do, you'll feel a surge of self-righteousness flow in your veins.

I totally agree with you about everyone should dress in their own unique way! It sucks to follow religion and culture.
ReplyDeleteI could not believe that some countries would kill others based on clothing. It is sad that some people would take somebody's life based on the beliefs or religion.
ReplyDeleteEmpathy can be corrupted, the men who see 'improper' dressing may feel that if they were in the women's shoes they would not be blaspheming by wearing such clothes. Empathy can be corrupted by beliefs and religions and this is a shame
ReplyDeleteIt may be odd and appalling to us, but that's their religion and their beliefs. we have to respect that and empathize with the muslim women.
