Course Outcomes

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

• Analyze the rela�onships among culture, diversity, and self by inves�ga�ng their influence on one’s discipline of study or chosen profession

• Integrate interdisciplinary approaches for determining how issues of diversity affect modern socie�es in both personal and professional contexts

• Describe the cultural and social influences on the development of personal iden�ty by employing appropriate research strategies

• Recommend strategies for overcoming obstacles in diversity to meet personal and professional goals

• Ar�culate informed viewpoints on how to ensure cultural responsiveness in personal and professional contexts using effec�ve communica�on skills

• Assess the challenges of overcoming issues in diversity through the incorpora�on of diverse perspec�ves and viewpoints informed by relevant literature and peer experiences

Overview

This course explores diversity and its impact on the world around us. Diversity influences society and society influences diversity, crea�ng a feedback loop between them. You will cri�cally analyze a feedback loop in this project through

social, historical, and theore�cal approaches to diversity as well as the four general educa�on lenses: history, humani�es, natural and applied sciences, and social science. From this enhanced understanding, you will be equipped to draw

connec�ons between diversity, self, and engagement with society. These skills are o�en necessary to achieve personal and professional goals across many disciplines.

Direc�ons

For this project, you will write a 10‐page paper that examines the topic you chose in Module Two and how it affects individuals and society. In the paper, you will describe your chosen topic, construct a thesis statement, perform a cri�cal

analysis, and reflect on how your topic informs your personal life and experience. You will demonstrate your ability to think cri�cally, inves�gate, and communicate clearly.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

I. Evidence: You will use evidence to support your analysis throughout the project.

1. Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis. Use at least two resources from the Module Resources sec�on of the course and two resources that you find through your own research

using the Shapiro Library.

a. It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspec�ves from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from the Cita�ons and A�ribu�ons rubric criterion.

b. Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself, while ci�ng and a�ribu�ng sources will be represented as APA in‐text cita�ons and a reference list at the end of your work.

c. You will be evaluated on both criteria.

II. Topic descrip�on: In this sec�on, you will iden�fy and discuss the factors that shape your thesis statement.

1. Introduce your topic with an effec�ve descrip�on and contextual informa�on.

2. Describe a popula�on significant to your topic. Include informa�on such as demographics, cultural prac�ces, social iden�ty, and key challenges.

3. Ar�culate how the topic has shaped the lives and experiences of your chosen popula�on.

4. Explain your choice of general educa�on interdisciplinary lens for analyzing your topic. The four lenses are history, humani�es, natural and applied sciences, and social science.

5. Construct a thesis statement that combines your topic, popula�on, cultural situa�on, and choice of general educa�on interdisciplinary lens.

III. Cri�cal analysis: In this sec�on, you will analyze your engagement with your popula�on and topic. You will iden�fy opportuni�es for change, examine possible obstacles, and discuss the impact of your cri�cal analysis on societal

conversa�ons about cultural diversity.

1. Discuss how you would construc�vely collaborate with your popula�on to encourage their engagement with your chosen topic.

2. Describe at least one posi�ve element within your topic that supports transforma�on.

3. Describe at least one specific element within your topic that could benefit from change.

4. Explain how at least one poten�al obstacle could interfere with the popula�on’s engagement with your topic.

5. Assess at least two significant factors that could impact your topic, such as biases, beliefs, assump�ons, and/or values.

6. Describe a possible outcome of your proposed engagement that might influence the societal conversa�ons that add to cri�cal awareness of diversity.

IV. Reflec�on: In this sec�on, you will describe how using cri�cal analysis tools influences your personal experience, your field of study or profession, how you interact with others, and your understanding of the role of diversity in society.

1. Describe how cri�cally analyzing your topic has posi�vely informed your personal experience.

2. Describe how examining your bias has altered the way you perceive the world.

3. Describe how this course has helped you understand the role of diversity in society.

4. Explain how cri�cally analyzing diversity can posi�vely influence your field of study or profession.

5. Explain at least one way in which your analysis might have been different if you had used one of the other general educa�on lenses to analyze your topic.

6. Explain how cri�cally analyzing diversity adds value to interac�ons with people in a variety of contexts.

A good start to considering some of the biases, beliefs, assumptions, and/or values that can impact your topic.

As we discussed early on in the course, bias is something that all human beings have and must work through when

conducting research and otherwise. There are so many different forms of bias that one must least be aware of when engaging

with materials. Desjardins (2021) provides a beautiful infographic showing the breadth of cognitive biases we must consider.

To reach proficiency, include references in this section. You list three sources at the end but they are not cited throughout the

paper. Including this will strengthen the paper overall and illustrate where your materials come from in the research.

Diversity of Teen Muslims in United States

Introduction

The diversity of Muslims in the United States holds significant importance in the history, cultures, and beliefs found within the American Muslim population. It is a vibrant and very deep topic that provide the details about individuals and communities who identify as Muslims and contribute to the teen Muslims of the United States. The American Teen Muslim community is diverse in terms of ethnic backgrounds, cultural traditions, and religious practices. It includes individuals and families from various regions of the world, such as South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, among others. Muslims in the United States practice different branches and interpretations of Islam, including every sect and language with even different regions of backgrounds reflecting the rich diversity of Islamic traditions.

Muslims in the United States strive to balance their religious and cultural identities with their roles as American citizens. They contribute to various spheres of society, including education, healthcare, politics, arts, sciences, and business, making significant contributions to the nation’s social, economic, and intellectual development. Also, they have faced discrimination, Islamophobia, and stereotypes that affect their daily lives, interpersonal relationships, and opportunities. Efforts to address these challenges include interfaith dialogue, social activism, and community initiatives aimed at fostering understanding, combating prejudice, and promoting inclusivity. Learning about how Diverse Muslim culture is, every one now has started showing respect and kindness to Muslim community. That’s what I have seen through my eyes and this diversity on both sides has affected Muslims living in States significantly.

Population

I would like to focus my target population for my topic as teenagers and boys within the range of 20-30 years age. So, considering the population significance, I will go with the population of Muslim teenagers and young adult males in the United States is diverse which encompasses individuals from various ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds. They come from families with roots in different regions, including South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. This population represents the next generation of Muslims, growing up in a multicultural society while maintaining their religious and cultural heritage. Also, I would like to add the cultural practices where Muslim teenagers and young adult males engage in a range of cultural practices influenced by their religious beliefs and diverse cultural backgrounds. These practices can include observing Islamic rituals such as daily prayers, fasting during Ramadan, and participating in religious festivals and celebrations.

With that social identity of these Muslim Teenagers would be really significant for the whole community. Muslim teenagers and young adult males navigate their social identities at the intersection of their Muslim faith and American society. They balance their religious identity with their cultural heritage and the influences of their peers and the broader American culture. They may actively participate in Muslim student associations, community organizations, and social networks that provide spaces for socializing, discussing shared experiences, and engaging in activities that promote their faith and cultural identity. Considering the other factors key challenges are the most important factors impact teenagers of United States. My target population faces unique challenges as they navigate their teenage and young adult years within the Muslim community in the United States. Islamophobia and discrimination can affect their sense of belonging and self-esteem. They may encounter stereotypes and biases that shape their interactions with others.

Interdisciplinary Lens Analysis

History

Now talking about the historical lens of this topic. Actually, if we talk about the History of Muslims in United States then it starts with Muslim individuals to arrive in America was Estevanico, an African slave who accompanied Spanish explorers in the 16th century. Over the following centuries, Muslims from various backgrounds and regions, including Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, made their way to the United States through different means such as migration, trade, and slavery. And Muslims in thousands were kept slaves lived in the United States prior to the abolition of slavery. So, you can have an idea about the diversity of from this point. After this the most significant incident as we discussed above was 9/11 2001. The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon had a profound impact on perceptions of Muslims in the United States. It led to increased scrutiny, stereotyping, and discrimination against Muslims and Islamophobia. The significance of diversity of Muslims in the United States has not diminished; if anything, it has become even more relevant and nuanced with time.

Humanities

Diversity for Muslim individuals and communities, it represents their religious identity and the rich traditions, values, and beliefs associated with Islam. It embodies their sense of belonging and provides a framework for personal and communal expression of faith, rituals, and ethical principles. Islam plays a central role in shaping cultural practices, social interactions, and artistic expressions within Muslim communities. So, I think it’s perfect for United States to have Muslim culture and diversity within this country to have such a beautiful culture. the diversity of Muslims in the United States is intertwined with the broader American cultural landscape.

Natural and Applied Sciences

With this lens perspective, this has to be developed with respect to scientific point of view. This could be explored with areas such as demographics, social integration, health disparities, educational attainment, and economic factors within Muslim communities. It involves analysing data from surveys, censuses, and other sources to understand population trends, socioeconomic indicators, and patterns of integration. cultural sensitivity and an understanding of the socio-political context are crucial when conducting scientific research on sensitive topics like religion and identity. For example, after 9/11, It was around only 25% of Muslims were left in the United States after 3 years of that incident. But since then, number started to grow again and now it has now again emersed as normal according to analysis. So, Diversity for Muslims in United States has led them to challenges more than opportunities.

Social Science

With this lens, we can check and see the effects of Muslims on States and vice versa. It directly impacts Muslim individuals and communities who experience the realities of navigating their identities, practicing their faith, and participating in society while facing diverse challenges and opportunities. Also, it affects broader society by shaping perceptions, attitudes, and policies towards Muslims, as well as influencing social and cultural interactions, and debates about multiculturalism, religious freedom, and social cohesion. And I strongly believe that the country with most diverse culture representation is United States. And even within specific culture like Muslims, they have several communities in that as well. So, United States has the variety and that’s why it goes without saying it has the most success rate for representation in every aspect.

Area Lens

I have focus on the topic through the lens of the social sciences. The social sciences lens provides an analytical framework to understand the social, cultural, and behavioral aspects of human society. It allows us to explore the experiences, identities, social structures, and systems related to the Muslim community in the United States.

Thesis Statement

So, concluding with the thesis statement for the Topic I have selected. It would be like this:

“The examination of the diversity of Muslims in the United States since the 9/11 attack, with a focus on the Arab American Muslim Teenage population between 20-30 years and their unique cultural situation, through the interdisciplinary lens of general education, is essential for fostering cross-cultural understanding, promoting inclusivity, and addressing the challenges faced by this community with the help of social sciences lens.”

Critical Analysis

Muslim teenagers and young adults in the US, aged between 20-30, present diversity in culture and direction. The representation of this diversity for this demographic through a social science perspective will involve a varied group of professionals. This module will be based on factual analyses using reliable sources. The discussion will require a diverse range of perspectives integrated with statistics and figures to enhance its credibility and depth. Proper analysis requires attention to detail and accurate representation. Coupling different perspectives with facts about the population is something I desire.

Constructive Collaboration

In a recent article by UVMV on the struggles of Young Muslims, it stresses the importance of comprehending the experiences that young Muslims undergo so that we can tackle the difficulties that they face. The article highlights the various obstacles that Muslim youths are confronted with such as Islamophobia, discrimination, and stereotypes, which have a significant impact on how they view themselves, engage in social activities, and their general health. It also emphasizes the need to create places where Muslim youths can feel secure and accepted so that they can discover their identities, articulate their thoughts and feelings, and find their true purpose. Muslim youths need guidance in navigating their dual identities as both American and Muslim. Empowering them through educational initiatives, community support, and mentorship programs can help achieve this goal.

Positive element and Potential Obstacles

Some interesting insights on Muslim Teens were recently revealed through an article released by Columbia University. Dr. Louis Abdellatif Cristillo, a teacher at Teachers College, conducted research that aimed to understand the high school experiences of Muslim boys and girls in New York City. Muslim teens often face a struggle with conflicting values taught at home and those prevalent in American youth culture. The school climate following the 9/11 attacks has deeply affected the sense of inclusion and acceptance felt by Muslim students. The study specifically examined the complexities faced by Muslim girls concerning dress codes and societal stereotypes. Religious Muslim boys, sporting beards, are frequently subjected to profiling and prejudice as being politically charged. On an additional note, here’s another aspect regarding these Muslim adolescents.

With all the discussion on diversity, I would like to add one potential opportunity for improvement is to promote authentic storytelling and amplify the voices of Muslim youth themselves. This can be achieved by creating platforms that empower Muslim teenagers and young adult males to share their own stories, experiences, and achievements. By doing so, a more diverse range of narratives can emerge, showcasing the complexity and individuality of Muslim youth and challenging monolithic portrayals. This would hopefully change the narrative of so many communities about Muslim culture and community.

Factors affecting Muslims

For a more unique take on the subject, we must explore the diverse elements that shape the Muslim community in the United States. Authentic sources and solid reasoning are needed to further advance this project. Two key factors are there for this explanation that are biases and beliefs, they play a major role in how insiders and outsiders approach this topic. Indeed, biases can heavily influence one’s perception and engagement with the diversity of Muslim teenagers. Muslims can face obstacles in achieving true discourse and exchange of ideas when confronted with preconceived notions or stereotypes, including labeling them as terrorists or assuming they come from a homogenous culture. To build mutual understanding, each person must scrutinize their own presumptions, deliberately seek out alternative viewpoints, and participate in exchanges free from prejudices. Promoting constructive conversations and fostering understanding among insiders and outsiders is essential. Recognizing and respecting diverse religious beliefs and practices plays a crucial role in shaping how people engage with the topic of Teen Muslims diversity. Personal convictions and religious teachings can influence perspectives; either fostering inclusivity or perpetuating stereotypes. It’s important to acknowledge and appreciate the significance of religious and cultural beliefs for more effective communication.

Potential Obstacles

Let’s explore the possibilities and pitfalls for the youth of Teen Muslims. One particular challenge that might obstruct their involvement in American society is Islamophobia, which is defined as bias, bigotry, or animus toward Muslims and their faith. This bias takes many shapes, from marginalizing to stereotyping and excluding these individuals solely due to their religious affiliation. Unfortunately, these negative attitudes could hamper meaningful interactions and extend misconceptions about Teen Muslims teenagers. Negative media portrayals and misconceptions about Islam can contribute to perpetuating Islamophobia, creating barriers for Teen Muslim teenagers to socially engage with peers. This often leads to social isolation, bullying, and discrimination in educational settings, hindering their active participation. Such communal issues can also foster harmful attitudes towards Muslim youth, and hinder purposeful social interaction. Prejudice and fear associated with Islamophobia create barriers for recognizing the unique abilities and contributions of Teen Muslim youth. Collaboration, understanding, and empathy are hindered as a result. To break down these obstacles, we must promote intercultural dialogue, address misinformation, and build inclusive environments that respect religious differences and value diversity.

The result that I want to express from the engagement for the project aimed at boosting the participation of United States Teen Muslims teens is to nurture their understanding of diversity in discussions about society. By engaging Teen Muslims teens in dialogues and giving them platforms to express themselves, one hopeful outcome would be the expansion of their viewpoints, stories, and impact. By doing this, their presence and representation could defy existing narratives and stereotypes, creating a more detailed comprehension of the multiplicity present within the Teen Muslims group. Cultural appreciation, empathy, and broader acceptance of diverse identities can be fostered by incorporating their experiences into the societal discourse. This outcome would contribute to a more inclusive and informed conversation about diversity, generating critical awareness and fostering a society that embraces and celebrates the richness of its diverse population.

Societal Conversations and Reviews

To gain an outsider’s insight into Teen Muslims culture, it is crucial to adopt two approaches. Firstly, comprehending their views can be facilitated through education, media representation, and interpersonal engagement. Secondly, an exclusive viewpoint ought to be offered. To challenge misconceptions about Muslims, it’s imperative to educate and raise awareness. Creating initiatives such as interfaith dialogues, educational programs and cultural competency training can provide the accurate information necessary to understand this diverse community. Likewise, media representation plays a significant role in shaping public opinion, therefore immersing oneself in a culture’s media can provide insights into their values and beliefs. By promoting an understanding of the Muslim experience and contributions, we can foster accurate information and awareness of this community. Diverse and authentic representation of Muslims in mainstream media can challenge stereotypes and create more positive narratives. Encouraging media outlets to portray the complexity and diversity of Teen Muslims experiences can contribute to changing perceptions and fostering inclusive conversations. Also, we can see that the meaningful interactions between individuals from different backgrounds can influence how they engage with the topic.

Reflection

My Bias and Personal Experience

Engaged in studying Muslim Teenagers in the United States, my personal experience and understanding have been transformed through the implementation of critical analysis skills. Dismissing surface-level assumptions and stereotypes, critical analysis has enabled me to delve deeper into the complexities and subtleties of Muslim teenagers’ lives. Gaining a comprehensive viewpoint and empathetic perspective, I now recognize the distinct challenges they experience when attempting to reconcile their religious and cultural identities within the context of American society.

Muslim teenagers are better off thanks to my analysis methods. I can inspect statements, assess sources, and understand biases- all to arrive at a well-rounded and informed opinion. My techniques come in handy when trying to be objective and avoid overlooking important angles. Through a deep analysis of articles, personal stories, and research papers, I’ve come to recognize the enormous diversity present in the Muslim community. The unique experiences of individuals within this group have been invaluable in shaping my understanding of this topic. Critical analysis played a significant role in this process, allowing me to identify and challenge my preconceived notions and stereotypes. Due to acknowledging and examining my own biases, I have been able to bring about this change and gain a deeper understanding of the topic. This self-reflection has had a significant impact on my perception of the world.

Diversity, engaging with a range of perspectives, and critically analyzing has immense value moving forward. Its application extends beyond personal growth and can hugely impact academic and professional endeavors alike. I come equipped to contribute wholeheartedly to my field of study or profession by effectively critiquing and examining. I am capable of identifying gaps in knowledge, challenging preconceived notions, and pioneering fresh and innovative solutions. My critical analysis allows me to navigate and successfully traverse complex issues, engaging in informed discussions that build a more inclusive and equitable environment. Ahead lie difficulties and obstacles, but I believe that within an academic environment, the meticulous analysis of information can elevate the excellence of my research and scholarly pursuits. Through the methodical inspection of varying outlooks, I can build more inclusive and fully developed positions, considering the viewpoints and voices of adolescent Muslims. In challenging the biases and stereotypes present within my profession through critical analysis, I hope to effectively promote diversity and inclusion among Muslim teenagers. This not only enriches my own work, but also contributes to the broader academic discourse and provides a more inclusive and accurate understanding of the topic. By forming my own unique perspective through this process, I aim to extend these skills across all areas of my life and vision. Valuing and respecting different perspectives can create an atmosphere of collaboration and teamwork, which is enhanced by the critical analysis of diversity.

Diversity in Society

Acquiring knowledge on intersectionality, bias, culture, and identity has led me to a deeper comprehension of diversity’s significance in society. My explorations of diversity’s multi-dimensional aspect and its influence on individuals and the community have been an invaluable experience. My research on bias has heightened my awareness of how unacknowledged stereotypes and prejudices can shape our outlook and social interactions, motivating me to take action and challenge these biases. Addressing and confronting these biases is vital in creating a society that is just and inclusive. Being reflective and receptive about diversity is something intersectionality has taught me. It has molded my perception to recognize my biases and made me mindful. Having an awareness that people possess many social identities which converge and influence each other has brought attention to the distinct obstacles and perspectives encountered by various groups.

General Education Lens

A natural science lens would have skewed my analysis of Muslim teens in the US toward quantitative data and empirical evidence. I’d be into a stats-based and objective approach, measuring aspects like demographics, educational outcomes, and social integration. This method would grant me a quantitative grip on the subject, sassing out patterns and trends regarding Muslim teens utilizing all sorts of measurable factors. Muslims endure a plethora of factors that often go unnoticed. While some studies have focused on their experiences, important aspects such as cultural identity and societal perceptions are often overlooked. With the goal of understanding the outcomes of various scenarios, I have chosen this topic to explore the nuanced and subjective experiences of Muslims.

Interactions with People

Allow us to shift our focus to the importance of examining diversity in different ways. Such critical analysis is crucial for cultivating meaningful and productive interactions with people from all sorts of contexts. Being mindful of and valuing individual differences enables us to cultivate empathy, expand our perspectives, and promote understanding. It facilitates our ability to acknowledge and honor the singular viewpoints, histories, and lifestyles that each individual possesses. Personally, in my time as an embassy intern, I was privileged to collaborate with a diverse team of professionals from diverse races, cultures, and professions. By actively listening to others, seeking to understand their viewpoints, and appreciating the richness of their diverse perspectives, my individual conversation skills greatly improved. Critically analyzing diversity played a major role in this enhancement. The outcome of this improvement fostered stronger connections and mutual respect while simultaneously creating an inclusive and collaborative work environment. During our regular team gatherings, we frequently converse about worldwide dilemmas, approaches to diplomacy, and customs from diverse backgrounds. Everyone presents their own views and anecdotes based on their distinct experiences. By thoughtfully scrutinizing diversity, I have participated in informative dialogues, asked insightful inquiries, and enhanced my comprehension of global matters. It has enriched my personal outlook and expanded my factual repository, enabling me to offer more effective assistance to the team. Besides, critically scrutinizing diversity aids us in navigating cross-cultural transactions with delicacy and cultural proficiency. By recognizing and challenging our own biases and assumptions, we can hinder effective communication. An environment that embraces diversity leads to more meaningful and productive interactions where individuals feel valued, respected, and heard. In a broader sense, critically analyzing diversity also contributes to social cohesion and harmony in society. It promotes inclusion, equality, and social justice by challenging discriminatory attitudes and practices. By embracing diversity and actively engaging with individuals from different backgrounds, we can foster greater understanding, empathy, and solidarity among people.
