Introduction
Afghanistan is an Islamic nation in pure chaos and war-riddled like no other. The Afghan people have been at war since the beginning of their time. They live a hardscrabble life due to day-to-day struggle between the Taliban and coalition forces. Due to thirty plus years of political conflict and chaos, the environment is suffering. Behind all the war and carnage, many people do not realize that there is a beautiful landscape. The population is friendly, but lives a strict traditional lifestyle. The country has many environmental concerns that have come about since the Soviet Union's invasion. Even though all of the right projects, established by the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), the Afghans have minimal potable

In this culture, if you have lack honor and reputation, you lack credibility and say. You could be a good man with an excellent reputation, but if you associate yourself with those who have a bad reputation and no honor, you are labeled the same.

The Afghan people are genuinely hospitable and, regardless of whom you are, if you are visiting their home, they will provide you with the best that the family has to give. If you are a guest in an Afghan household, they believe that they must protect you at all costs (Tribal Analysis Center, LTD, …show more content…
Locals receive threats from the Taliban when they give help to the United States, and the United States deems it suspicious when the locals withhold information about the Taliban. The Taliban claimed to provide aid to the Afghan people, but said assistance had not been observed by the United States. The Taliban makes most of their money through the exportation of opium and heroin. Another portion of their money comes from extorting local business and villages by claiming that they need to pay them for the right to exist. Taliban fighters have a history of moving into a village and pushing out the locals which creates a constant struggle for the Afghan people (Jalali,
The Afghanistan War was the longest war in history fought by the United States. The war took place over 13 years and 59 countries participated in the war. The US led the war in response to the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001, after the Taliban refused to give America Osama bin Laden and expel al-Qaeda. As a result of this on the 7th October 2001 the US and the UK launched Operation Enduring Freedom. They were then joined by other forces including the Northern Alliance, which had been fighting the taliban since 1996 when they came into power. The main goal for the Afghanistan war was to destroy al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

Women are still being isolated today even though a new form of government is in use and has been fifteen years since the rule of the Taliban. “Life as an Afghan Woman” points out that “women are [still] often hidden and isolated. Islamic extremists insist that women and girls stay at home, and can only leave if they are fully covered and accompanied by a male relative.” Most women wear a burqa that completely covers their entire body, showing male dominance outside of the home as well. Women must cover themselves to avoid the possibility of men looking at them in an inappropriate way. Women have to dress in a head to toe burqa for the benefit of men. Also, the fact that girls live with their husband’s extended family often results in them being
Throughout the poem, Pages Matam explores the key ideas and issues of victim-blaming and silencing victims due to society’s taboo of speaking out about sexual assault along with the foundations of rape culture. Matam effectively outlines the harmful idea that, your beauty leads to sexual assault which society inflicts upon victims, as a constant motif throughout the poem in the lines “Tell Elizabeth Fritzl, how pretty the flame of her skin was”, using sophisticated imagery within an allusion to explore this idea, comparing the providing an evidence-base to further support his argument and perspective. This idea is further reinforced in the repetition used in “Tell my 11th grade student, Lauren, that she wanted it, her beauty had them coming’
Afghanastan is known for being mountainous but the geography and climate are different depending on the part of the country. The country has three separate areas in terms of geography including the Central Highlands which has steep valleys and mountains that are dry and soil that is desert-steppe and meadow-steppe in other parts. The Southern Plateau has high plateaus and desert land. The climate is milder and the soil is not fertile except next to the river. The Northern Plains are very fertile with a major river and a lot of mineral deposits in the soil.
The United States has not been able to eradicate the Taliban in Afghanistan because of two main reasons: the corruption within the Afghan security forces and the Pakistani government 's support of the Afghan Taliban. Internal to the country, the corrupt practices of the Afghan Army leaders and police officials include selling American-issued weapons and ammunition to the Taliban insurgents. The corruption results in members of the Taliban to remain strong and well equipped with American weapons and ammunitions. External factor, the government of Pakistan (ISI –Inter-Service Intelligence) or army intelligence supports the Afghan Taliban by financing their military operations, training them and providing sanctuary for members of the Taliban. For these two reasons which will be addressed with details, America has not been able to defeat the Taliban insurgent group in Afghanistan since 2001.

The Taliban orders the Afghan people’s Neighbors to spy on them to make sure they are following the rules insider and outside when the Taliban aren't around. So basically the people can’t really trust each other because of their beliefs and what their actions are. If the Taliban catch
Many Afghan women are horrifically losing their lives during or after childbirth. The trend in that country is to have as many children as possible so they have a greater chance in getting into heaven. Men in that country act opprobrious in American terms because they don’t care about the wellbeing of the mother of all the children. The prescience of the death of the mother could be helped, but the methods are not commodious for everyone. Sadly this trend is not an aberration and many fatal pregnancies go without proper care of the mother. There are many apropos ways that women are being helped in this patriarchal country such as more hospitals, advancing medical fields and more
Due to past events, the Afghan government is now struggling to keep up with their citizens’ problems with living there. Bombing, wars, harassment, feminism, and abuse have been some of the main topics of bad events in the last few years in Afghanistan. Dystopia is a society that can be characterized with extreme hunger, poverty, misery, and the imbalance among the people; the Taliban taking over was the cause of how Afghanistan is still dystopian today. When one analyzes Ashraf Ghani’s choice to allow the Taliban to form, and the impacts the Taliban are still having on the people, one can realize how important genres of literature can be to educate the world about this dystopian

Afghanistan, is located in Southern Asia. It borders the countries of Iran, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan,Uzbekistan, China and Pakistan. It’s capital is Kabul. Afghanistan contains a very mountainous terrain. The Hindu Kush Mountains cut across the country. Due to these mountains, the area is divided into three major regions.

They are known for their copper, coal, natural gas, petroleum,
In Afghanistan, especially before the coup, I could have never guessed how my pride would grow for my son. Before he aged into the determined man he continues to be today, I would have sadly, but truthfully reported his mind was weighed down with a weak man’s spinelessness. When Amir and I fled to America, I promised myself to stop grinding myself on the bloody post of memories those Russians forced us on. I swore to finally move past the painful hauntings of Afghanistan. Looking back, I can say I stayed true to my promise, and fought for him, never doing anything but the best. Now, I hope he would have the strength to share a similar burden for you.
While most guys think dress code is fair and equal, girls know that it is in fact not equal at all. At most schools, every student must follow a strict dress code and if you don’t, there are consequences.
