“later” extra points

When re-reading a challenging text that I struggled with during my initial reading, I would use a more strategic approach to enhance my comprehension.  The first thing i would do is to start by reviewing any notes or annotations I made during my first reading to identify the specific areas that i found difficult. Next, I would conduct some  research on the topic to gain a broader understanding of the context and any unfamiliar concepts. I would break the text into smaller sections, review them and try not to move on if I still don’t understand it. I learned that continuing to read when you still are lost a little just generally makes you way more confused . This approach would allow me to digest the material more effectively. By focusing on understanding rather than simply getting through the text, I could better overcome the challenges I faced when reading it the first time and I understand it way better.

Uighur Muslims in china have been held in concentration camps, as there being forced to do things against there religion be taught to not have faith in their religion and being torture and stripped from their human rights.

Why isnt there really any action towards this present day issue ?

Kate lyons.”The world knows what is happening to the Uighurs. Why has it been so slow to act?”, 2019

This article talks about the situation of the Uighur minority in China and the international community’s delayed response to their suffering. It highlights Sadam Abdusalam’s efforts to reunite his family in Australia, showing the obstacles he faced. Despite numerous reports of human rights abuses in Xinjiang, international concern was slow to emerge, partly due to China’s economic influence and limited awareness of the Uighur issue. The article also points out that China’s actions are seen as cultural genocide, targeting Uighur Muslims, and discusses potential biases against Islam that have hindered international support. While there has been some recent momentum for sanctions against China, the article calls for more consistent and outspoken international condemnation of the situation, particularly from countries like Australia.

The article discusses the international community’s muted response to the human rights abuses in Xinjiang, China, where more than one million Uighur Muslims are detained and subjected to forced assimilation. few countries have taken a strong public stance due to china’s economic influence and the fear of retaliation. The U.S. has been one of the most vocal critics, but the trump administration has not taken significant action, focusing more on trade issues. The lack of strong leadership on the issue from the U.S. affects the global response. China has also worked to prevent discussions on Xinjiang at the united nations and has used its influence to avoid discussions on the issue, such as diverting a session on human rights violations in Syria. China’s diplomatic and economic power has largely deterred countries from taking a strong public stance on the human rights abuses in Xinjiang, leaving the Uighurs with little to no internatioinal support.

 

Homework 10/5

The Uyghur Muslims have been put in concentration camps due to China’s government More than a million Muslims have been detained in China’s Xinjiang region, where they are getting tortured in these concentration camps. Detained Muslims from these camps are subjected to forced labor, often under harsh conditions. Chinese authorities are suppressing the Uyghur Islamic practices like banning religious clothes, restrictions on religious gatherings, no fasting during the month of Ramadan making them drink, torture & abuse them, Uyghur’s in these concentration camps also faced sexual abuse the Uyghur’s are neglected and often killed. The Chinese government called the concentration camps “re-education camps and China consistently denied these allegations, claiming that its actions in Xinjiang were necessary for countering extremism and terrorism when the Muslims were innocent. Uyghur Muslims in these concentration camps is being abused, tortured, forced labor, raped, and even killed and nothing is stopping it. This is happening today not 100 or 50 years ago; it is today’s problem that is not getting fixed. my question is  why is China’s genocide against the Uyghur Muslims getting overlooked. Why isn’t there anything to help them or more awareness about ethnic cleansing? When we used to hear about the holocaust, we were so sure that it was not going to happen again and I was always baffled that it happened in the first place, how did people let Hitler get away with doing what he did? And I always thought to myself that this would never happen today. our generation would never let this slide and would do something about it or other countries would step in  and help. But it is. Why are Muslims being put in concentration camps and not getting help or the recognition this genocide needs. How are we letting an ethnic cleansing happen right in front of our eyes and not do anything about it?
