There were a few questions I wasn't able to ask during discussion leading. One of them was for the third article of the reading assignment. My question was: On page 322 it says "The Middle East is a geographical area covering no less than 20 countries (if it is confined to the 'Arab' East) that display a few similarities and many differences." How do we go about changing the label that we have for these countries and in opposition, how do we eliminate the label of North American women as "Christian women?
I think one way of eliminating these labels is to have people from other countries come and have lectures on college campuses. There are many people from our school and surrounding schools like Buffalo State and the University of Buffalo that I'm sure would be willing to talk at our school. My cousin goes to Buff State and one of her roommates is from Jordan. My cousin knows so much about this foreign country now and other people would find her roommate's home life interesting as well. Obviously, flying people in from countries to lecture to students and professors would be expensive, but these foreigners are near us and we should take advantage of that.
