    both of which the Taliban opposed.
                                                      the government of Afghanistan based on

NOW THAT YOU KNOW …
   Write a personal reaction on this slide (3-4 sentences) in which you express your opinion about
    the treatment of women in Afghanistan by the Taliban. How does it make you feel? Why?
   Now that I know and understand the treatment of women in Afghanistan by the Taliban, it
    makes me feel uneasy. Just the thought of all the terrible punishments hits me first. How on
    Earth could they commit such over the edge punishments. I understand it’s because they broke
    the law, but where’s the equality in that? Women should have all the equal rights as men do.
    We should be able to laugh as loud as we want in public and not have to worry about strangers
    hearing our voice. It’s wrong.
DO WE …
   As citizens of a country in which we are relatively free, safe, and equal do we have
    the responsibility to help places like Afghanistan become more like us? Why or why
    not? Explain your answer in 3 – 4 sentences.
   I believe we do have a type of responsibility to help places like Afghanistan become
    more like us. If they are unwilling as a whole to change, then we shouldn’t force
    this type of thing upon them. However, if they wish for change, a well rounded and
    advanced country like ours should be responsible for helping countries like
    Afghanistan to move on. What’s happening there is wrong on so many levels, and I
    don’t think we should stand by and watch if it’s causing the death of woman after
    woman. We need equality.

Just the thought of all the terrible punishments hits me first. How on Earth could they commit such over the edge punishments. I understand it’s because they broke the law, but where’s the equality in that? Women should have all the equal rights as men do. We should be able to laugh as loud as we want in public and not have to worry about strangers hearing our voice. It’s wrong.
  • 13. DO WE …  As citizens of a country in which we are relatively free, safe, and equal do we have the responsibility to help places like Afghanistan become more like us? Why or why not? Explain your answer in 3 – 4 sentences.  I believe we do have a type of responsibility to help places like Afghanistan become more like us. If they are unwilling as a whole to change, then we shouldn’t force this type of thing upon them. However, if they wish for change, a well rounded and advanced country like ours should be responsible for helping countries like Afghanistan to move on. What’s happening there is wrong on so many levels, and I don’t think we should stand by and watch if it’s causing the death of woman after woman. We need equality.
