The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
CHALLENGING INJUSTICE STRETCHING THE ‘ACADEMIC BOYCOTT’ AFTER WAR ON GAZA 2023indexPub
The academic boycott of Israeli universities is a pivotal and contentious aspect of the broader Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, which seeks to apply pressure on Israel to change its policies and actions regarding the occupation of Palestinian territories and the treatment of Palestinians. This paper explores the academic boycott’s origins, implementation, and impact, focusing on the role of Israeli universities in supporting military and state policies deemed oppressive and discriminatory against Palestinians. The history and rationale behind the academic boycott are examined, tracing its roots back to the early 2000s and highlighting key moments and subsequent international endorsements. The literature review explores the complicity of Israeli academic institutions in occupying state policies and the significant actions by global academic bodies and universities severing ties with Israeli institutions. The methodology involves a comprehensive analysis of elite university websites, boycott-related sites, mainstream news, and social media channels to assess the boycott's impact and the ongoing debate surrounding it. The discussion addresses the challenges faced by academics supporting the boycott, such as career repercussions and political backlash, and critiques the perceived double standards of boycott opponents. The conclusion focuses on Arab academics' in the East and not only in the West to get closely involved and engaged in the academic boycott movement, emphasizing their role in both raising awareness and advocating this boycott in a time when their governments are normalising relations with the Israeli apartheid regime. The authors also call for continued advocacy, education, and solidarity among academics worldwide to sustain the momentum of the academic boycott and achieve the goals of promoting Palestinian rights and ending Israeli occupation and apartheid practices.

Journey of Reintegration: Stories of Bangsamoro Decommissioned CombatantsAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT :Along with the journey of the Bangsamoro to long-lasting peace, this study aimed to explore
the experiences, challenges, coping mechanisms, and insights learned by the decommissioned MILF combatants
in their journey to community reintegration. This study utilized the qualitative method using phenomenology,
particularly hermeneutic phenomenology, as a research design to describe the journey of the participants in their
community reintegration. There were nine participants chosen using a purposive sampling technique from three
of the major camps of MILF that participated in the study. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the answers of
the participants. Importance of safety and livelihood, had various duties as part of the MILF, a semblance of
normalcy, rampant fighting and peace agreement violations, a potpourri of positive and negative emotions, life
has changed much for the better, community and family support is important and none or minimal stigma and
discriminations are the experiences of the participants in community reintegration. The coping mechanisms of
the participants in reintegration are financial assistance from the government, provisions of training and
livelihood stocks, strength emanated from belief in Islam, assistance from the MILF top officials, community
support was not lacking and the family provided moral support. Further, the insights shared by the participants
are no more fear, being decommissioned helps our livelihood, there are still unfulfilled promises, respect,
acceptance, and willingness of the community, cooperate with the government, do not give up one’s ideals, and
do join the next batch of decommissioning. Thus, reintegration is never easy. Social, financial, emotional, and
psychological support is crucial to the success of reintegration.

This document examines the causes of the 2011 Arab uprisings by testing the relationship between economic grievances, social fragmentation, and mass movement in the Arab world. It analyzes how class-based (horizontal) cleavages related to economic factors like corruption and unemployment compare to group-based (vertical) cleavages along ethnic, tribal and religious lines in predicting popular uprisings. The document reviews literature on the impact of both types of social divisions, finding that only perceptions of corruption were significantly linked to the Arab uprisings, while both high and low levels of ethnic fragmentation were also correlated with mass movement. Tribalism was found to negatively impact protests but it is unclear if this is due to regime type.

The document discusses the concept of diversity and how it affects knowledge and political life in America. It defines diversity as differences between people in terms of race, gender, religion, socioeconomic status, and other demographic factors. The document discusses how diversity shapes knowledge by influencing what is taught in history and how people learn based on their life experiences. It also discusses how diversity affects political beliefs, priorities, and participation. People from different demographic groups often have divergent views on policy issues due to differences in their life experiences. As the demographics of the U.S. continue to change and minorities become the majority by 2044, addressing diversity will become increasingly important to accurately represent society and close gaps in education and civic participation.

Violence, Older Peers, and the
Socialization of Adolescent Boys in
Disadvantaged Neighborhoods
David J. Harding
University of Michigan
Most theoretical perspectives on neighborhood effects on youth assume that
neighborhood context serves as a source of socialization. The exact sources and
processes underlying adolescent socialization in disadvantaged neighborhoods, however,
are largely unspecified and unelaborated. This article proposes that cross-cohort
socialization by older neighborhood peers is one source of socialization for adolescent
boys. Data from the National Educational Longitudinal Survey suggest that adolescents
in disadvantaged neighborhoods are more likely to spend time with older individuals. I
analyze qualitative interview data from 60 adolescent boys in three neighborhoods in
Boston to understand the causes and consequences of these interactions and
relationships. Some of the strategies these adolescents employ to cope with violence in
disadvantaged neighborhoods promote interaction with older peers, particularly those
who are most disadvantaged. Furthermore, such interactions can expose adolescents to
local, unconventional, or alternative cultural models.
Most theoretical perspectives on neighbor-hood effects on youth assume that the
neighborhood serves as a source of socialization,
particularly for adolescents. Through differen-
tial exposure to behavioral models or cultural
ideas, disadvantaged neighborhoods are thought
to influence how young people make decisions
in domains such as schooling and romantic rela-
tionships. For example, Wilson's (1996) social
isolation theory argues that residents o f poor
neighborhoods are isolated from middle class or
mainstream social groups, organizations, and
institutions as a result of joblessness. Social
isolation creates cultural isolation, which—
when combined with diminished educational
and labor market opportunities—leads to the

This document proposes a solution to combat antisemitism on college campuses by creating a new program called Christians United for Peace in the Middle East. The program would fund Christian freshman students from select universities to go on a birthright-style trip to Israel to gain a balanced, factual understanding of Israeli-Palestinian history and counter anti-Israel narratives. The goal is to educate impressionable students before antisemitic groups can influence them, and for the students to become ambassadors for peace upon their return. The document outlines potential itineraries, themes, and funding sources to make the program a reality.
New democratic movements for global regeneration_driessen 2019TravisDriessen1
Our global species is confronted with the converging crisis of climate change, unsustainable levels of inequality, mass extinction, and growing water and natural resource scarcity that are threatening the existential crisis of collapse. This fallout has already led to massive displacement and refugee crisis across Latin America and the African continent. New democratic social movements are recombining and ushering in new opportunities for a revolution of regenerative settlements to be built out across the globe. Doing so, can create new opportunities to restore biodiversity and bring the atmosphere to safe operating levels, lift billions into unprecedented human prosperity, and transform global governance to promote a new era cooperation and usher in a new era of human discovery and peaceful co-existence.
SGS305 Final Research Paper Democracy Research Methods Professor Charles RipleyHannah Al Ghareeb
This document provides a summary of a research paper that aims to test the congruence and practical application of the Democratic Peace Theory given current policies for promoting democracy. The researcher hypothesizes that the Democratic Peace Theory has flaws that should be addressed if applying it to non-Western regions. Specifically, it has an unclear causal relationship between democracy and peace, and issues implementing democracy in non-Western areas can yield unstable, war-stricken nations rather than peace. The researcher will use qualitative case study methods to analyze flaws in the theory and how well democracy promotion has worked in different contexts.
The document discusses ethnic group conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. It explores how concepts of cultural conformity relate to both groups and how their negative social perceptions of each other contribute to ongoing conflict. The two groups have very different worldviews informed by their religious beliefs and upbringings. Changing social perceptions through interreligious communication and dialogue between younger generations may help resolve some issues over time, though the conflict is complex with deep historical roots on both sides.

The rise of nationalism
Introduction
The rise of nationalism poses a threat to globalization and the set of values that the international community has sought to develop in the past. The election of President Donald Trump and Brexit threatened the neoliberal agenda that has promoted free enterprise and globalization. Understanding the rise of nationalism provides an effective instrument for identifying effective intervention measures.
Research Question
· What has caused the resurgence of nationalism?
Research Hypothesis
· If the USA focuses on electing competent leaders, the resurgence of nationalism will be resolved Comment by angela parham: When the word “will” is used it is predicting the future, which we cannot predict. Please rephrase and email me your new hypothesis.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Introduction
The literature review aimed at developing a holistic understanding of nationalism and its resurgence in the modern society. As a result, past and present incidences of nationalism were examined in the research process. The findings of the study form the basis for understanding the psychology of the modern nationalist and the factors that cause it to be prevalent among different parts of the society.
Search Description
The search terms comprised of ‘nationalism’, ‘causes of nationalism’, ‘causes of Brexit’ and ‘Trumpism’. The search results produced leads that the researcher used to identify other literature material on the subject. The focused research played an important role in enabling the researcher to identify the literature that could be used in the study. In addition, the internet search involved ‘resurgence of nationalism’ and ‘nationalists’.

Fig. 1: Theoretical framework for the resurgence of nationalism
The theoretical framework demonstrates the impact that environmental factors have on the inherent patriotism of an individual. Each person has a close relationship with their nation that forms part of their identity. The cultural factors in the society may affect how people perceive others. Part of the opposition towards nationalism can be linked to cultural issues, which affect how the people perceive each other. In addition, social-economic factors may affect the sense of security that a person has about their future (Spencer & Wollman, 2005). Political actors may exploit social-economic and cultural factors to stir interest in nationalism. The resurgence of nationalism can be linked to the cultural and social-economic factors in the American society. Consequently, it is evident that the adoption of nationalism is a response to threats to the identity or survival of an individual. The push for nationalism is a reactive response to the fear and anxiety caused by the potential loss of the identity of a person (BBC, 2018).
Review of the literat.
This article describes a program called Young Warriors that aims to cultivate critical consciousness in young African American men. The program uses movies and rap videos from hip hop culture to help the young men critically analyze messages about race, gender, class and social issues in popular culture. The goal is to enhance their critical thinking skills so they can better understand social forces that influence their communities, and analyze everyday economic, social and cultural challenges. The program is described as drawing from concepts of critical thinking, media literacy, political socialization and psychosocial development to foster sociopolitical development in the young men.

Illegal immigration is one of the abused issues in the United States. The issue is of great concern as it not only changes the economic, cultural, but also the social aspect of the nation of concern. Immigration has been wrongly used in the political arenas as political leaders strive to throw their weight around while portraying their competitors how better they are. To the citizenry, immigrants increase competition in the already scarce employment opportunities. Immigrants cheaply provide easily accessible labor hence being preferred over the hosts of the country. On the other hand, they increase competition on available social amenities such as education and health care, hence at times referred to as a burden to the economy. People migrate while escaping wars and natural calamities such as hunger.
In contrast, others move illegally following societal ills such as human trafficking, where they end up in social evils such as prostitution. Whether migrating through the right or wrong channels, deportation has far-reaching effects, especially with the involvement of parents. Right measures should be implemented in dealing with the issue of deportation.
Granting amnesty is one of the options that could be explored in dealing with the deportation of parents. Amnesty entails the granting of a formal legal status to individuals with an illegal residence in a country and is awaiting deportation. The issue of amnesty among immigrants is received with mixed reactions. While some political leaders use the amnesty programs as a means of benefiting themselves, the citizens of the country view the move as a means of suppressing their access to resources. According to Levy (2010), people in support of an amnesty program among the illegal migrants view the deportation of illegal immigrants as being an impractical move. The deportation process is hectic for both the officials and the involved parties. Levy (2010) noted that the deportation process is time-consuming, requires a lot of effort, and is labor-intensive.
The country would have to incur additional costs in trying to correct a situation created by people who failed to take their jobs seriously. Also, it is not a guarantee that all illegal immigrants would be successfully deported as some may escape detection, which means that the government goes through all that trouble for nothing. Instead, the government should use the challenge of illegal immigrants to its advantage. Numerous low-skilled employment positions are unfilled because Americans cannot fill the positions, despite being crucial to the nation's economy. The country stands to benefit more with the illegal immigrants given amnesty as opposed to when there are deported. Levy (2010) added that the legalization of immigrants through ac.

Attention Getters Diaspora Support For Ethno Political Organizations In The ...Jeff Nelson
This document summarizes a research article that examines why some ethnopolitical organizations receive support from their diaspora groups while others do not. It reviews previous literature that generally views diasporas as potentially destabilizing forces that can exacerbate conflicts in their homelands. However, some recent studies have found that diasporas can also play positive roles in conflict resolution. The authors analyze data on 112 minority political organizations in the Middle East from the Minorities at Risk Organizational Behavior dataset to identify factors that influence whether an organization receives diaspora support or not, such as the organization's power, ideology, political behavior, and treatment by the government. Preliminary evidence suggests that organizations that are most effective at gaining attention through
US Public Diplomacy Plan for Syria ProblemRuoshi Li
This document outlines a US public diplomacy plan for Syria with the following key points:
1) The plan has two main target audiences - Syrian youth suffering under Assad and international audiences concerned about the civil war.
2) The objectives are to influence Syrian youth's views of democracy and perceptions of the US, and gain international recognition of US efforts to promote democracy and counter terrorism.
3) The strategies proposed include providing humanitarian aid through partnerships with UN agencies to help Syrian refugees, and using media framing to shape the narrative around the civil war and US involvement.
This document discusses minority recruitment and enrollment at predominantly white institutions. It begins by defining predominantly white institutions as those mainly comprising white students with few students from other races. It then discusses the legal aspects of diversity in higher education, including the 1978 Supreme Court case Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, which allowed universities to give modest preference to minority students. This increased minority enrollment at predominantly white institutions. The document also discusses techniques for improving minority recruitment, such as considering ethnic and cultural factors in communication and using public relations to promote diversity. It concludes that innovative programming and policies are needed to assist minority students in dealing with academic and social challenges.
Rethinking Participation In A European Contextnnriaz
This document discusses frameworks for understanding marginalized groups and their participation in society. It focuses on intersectionality and how people have multiple, intersecting identities that shape their experiences of marginalization. Gypsy communities are used as a case study. Some key challenges to their participation include poverty, poor health, lack of education, employment barriers, and cultural barriers. However, the online sphere, like Facebook, may help lower barriers to political and civic participation for marginalized youth by making engagement easier and more interactive at low cost. Understanding intersectionality and exploring virtual spaces are presented as ways to potentially increase meaningful participation of marginalized groups like young Gypsies.
This document summarizes a research study that examined how social support structures impact the successful resettlement of Burmese and Burundian refugees in a Midwestern city in the United States. The study utilized qualitative interviews with 13 Burmese and 23 Burundian refugees to understand how support from resettlement agencies and social networks affected refugees' well-being and ability to access resources. Key findings included that gaps in employment and housing services from resettlement agencies negatively impacted refugees, while strong social support networks provided emotional, informational and instrumental support that helped refugees cope with challenges. The results contribute to understanding how to best assist refugee families through strengthening support structures.
Diversity in the United States Final by GilSheppard ETH125.docx Sat. May 16,...Gilbert sheppard
The document discusses diversity in the United States. It notes that minority populations are expected to become the majority by 2050, with Hispanics growing the fastest. There have historically been challenges to diversity from European colonists not respecting Native Americans. However, diversity provides benefits like improved business and innovation. The media both supports diversity through educational content and shows prejudice at times in its coverage of issues. Overall, as diversity increases, working together across racial and ethnic groups will be important for community success.

MINORITY BOYS SCHOOL DROPOUT AND CONTINUATION SCHOOL 2
Literature Review
Literature Review
It is expected that every student enrolled in high school works hard towards the completion of their high school diploma. However, research indicates there was a 5.4% drop out among the minority groups, in which 6.4% of the overall status dropout rate is that of the male youth. Among the Africans, Hispanics, and American Indian Natives, the dropout rates among the boys are 8%, 10%, and 11.6%, respectively (Musu-Gillette, De Brey, McFarland, Hussar, Sonnenberg, & Wilkinson-Flicker, 2017). These dropouts often join continuation schools later in life with the hope that they will get an equivalent of their high school diploma. The theoretical framework of this research is based on the phenomenological approach, in which the aim is to examine the occurrence of school dropout among minority boys and their performance after joining continuation school.
One of the theories that explain why minority boys drop out of school is the Critical Race Theory. The model argues that education opportunities are often affected by an individual’s race and racism (Colbert, 2017). Based on this theory, minority groups are often faced with issues such as poverty and racial discrimination in schools, which causes some of the male students to drop out of school. Racism victims in school feel inferior to the whites and sometimes feel like they do not deserve a quality education, and they end up falling behind in school.
Cultural production theory, on the other hand, explains why the dropouts choose to go back to school. The theory holds that the education system helps to level out the playing field so that people get equal opportunities to make their lives. The approach provides an essential perspective as to why minority boys dropouts join continuation schools and complete their learning process.
According to Bania, Lydersen, and Kvernmo (2016), non-completion of high school mostly results from different problems, most of which are health-related. In research in which the authors carried out among the youths in the Arctic, they found out that dropout rates were higher among males. Additionally, minority males often drop out due to mental issues. Based on the article, education affects an individual’s employment opportunities and income, as well as the quality of life, which explains why the dropouts choose to join continuation schools later in life.
Hernandez and Ortez (2019) undertake research in which they analyze the experiences of some Latinas who are enrolled in continuation school. Based on the writers’ claims, continuation schools have put in place strategies that enable the students to cope and realize that they have an opportunity to succeed just like any other individual. Additionally, due to the improvement in the prospects for quality education presented to the marginalized groups, the article indicates that there are .

Identify the global societal issue you have chosen to research for your Final Paper, an argumentative essay, and explain why further research on this topic is important.
The issue I decide to talk about is lack of education. Education has not reached its peak due to change. Change is funny as it overwhelms people with different emotions. For instance, change can foster fear, happiness, doubt, uncertainty, acceptance, and love. Further study is required because “while nearly everyone engaged in the debate about schooling acknowledges that more resources is not a panacea (solution) the question is whether budgets can be expanded on specific items in a way that would increase the efficacy of schooling” (Pritchett, 2004, pg. 4, para. 1).

Provide a clear and concise thesis statement that includes a solution to the global societal issue (see

for assistance).
Change is inevitable whether you like it or not, it will happen. It does matter if it is for the betterment of mankind or the destruction of humanity. To be better prepared we need to improve our education infrastructure around the world. The fear of change has crippled us causing our education standards to decline. The reason change needs to happen is because we have become unaware, less knowledgeable, disconnect and less than human. Making higher education available for all would have caught this dilemma sooner, provided solutions using social justice, and replace fear with compassion and the will to act. The truth high quality education is a need not a want.
·
Explain how this global societal issue impacts a specific population.
Countries with deficient infrastructure are left behind or forgotten. Arditi (2004) stated, “the third salient aspect of globalization arises from the exponential increase in the pace of political, technological, economic, or cultural change. Its impact is undecidable” (pg. 3, para. 2)

Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries seem to use a one-time large payment to pay for higher education which only make up about nine percent of higher learning.

GREEN TAXES POLICY IN AID TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT & HUMAN HEALTHindexPub
Sustainable development goals, brought out under Agenda 2030, list the exhaustive coverage of areas that require the attention of countries across the globe. SDG 3 is dedicated to the health of human beings across all ages. Target 3.9 of SDG 3 aims to reduce the number of deaths caused by air, water, and soil pollution. The Research paper suggests adopting fiscal measures as an essential step in reducing global pollution. The combustion of petroleum products has been responsible for the significant emission of particulate matter in the atmosphere. The overall study of the health hazards caused by pollution suggests an urgent need to control the widespread pollution. Apart from other available measures, the researcher suggests that the levy of Green Taxes can play a vital role in minimizing the health hazards due to pollution. Principle 16 of the Rio Declaration suggests fiscal policy measures that can assist in internalising the social costs due to pollution. The researcher proposes to study the health hazards caused by different kinds of pollution and aims to suggest a policy framework for Green Taxes that can assist governments across the globe in mitigating the adverse effects of pollution on human health.
CLEANING, SHAPING AND OBTURATION PROTOCOLS FOLLOWED BY DENTISTS IN INDIA – A...indexPub
Introduction: The main objective of endodontic therapy is the complete elimination of microbes and
their by-products from the root canal system. Despite the high success rate of root canal treatment,
there are failures too. Hence, our survey aimed to investigate the differences in cleaning, shaping, and
obturation protocols followed among general dentists and endodontists in India. Method: A multiple
choice questionnaire was designed and distributed to 700 dentists in India through a social media
application. The questions covered all the protocols and techniques for root canal treatment. The
collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics at a 0.05 level of significance to get the results
as frequencies and percentages. Results: A total of 332 dentists among 700 participated in the
survey. Among 332 dentists, 181 were non-endodontists and 149 were endodontists. The highest
number of participants used K- hand files for instrumentation followed by NiTi rotary instruments in a
torque with gear reduction handpiece following the Step-back technique. Participants polled for calcium
hydroxide as a choice of interappointment intracanal medicament in case of lesion and the patients
were recalled after 7 days. 99.69% of participants favored the usage of gutta-percha with zinc oxide
eugenol for root canal obturation. Most of the participants used composite restoration as postendodontic restoration and advocated crowns in all cases Conclusions: Though there were only 332
participants in this survey, the study was able to provide the details of the dental practice among the
population. This survey could also show the standard of care, knowledge, and skills that have improved
due to continual dental education through conferences, seminars, and workshops. However, further
studies are necessary to evaluate this trend.

Violence, Older Peers, and the
Socialization of Adolescent Boys in
Disadvantaged Neighborhoods
David J. Harding
University of Michigan
Most theoretical perspectives on neighborhood effects on youth assume that
neighborhood context serves as a source of socialization. The exact sources and
processes underlying adolescent socialization in disadvantaged neighborhoods, however,
are largely unspecified and unelaborated. This article proposes that cross-cohort
socialization by older neighborhood peers is one source of socialization for adolescent
boys. Data from the National Educational Longitudinal Survey suggest that adolescents
in disadvantaged neighborhoods are more likely to spend time with older individuals. I
analyze qualitative interview data from 60 adolescent boys in three neighborhoods in
Boston to understand the causes and consequences of these interactions and
relationships. Some of the strategies these adolescents employ to cope with violence in
disadvantaged neighborhoods promote interaction with older peers, particularly those
who are most disadvantaged. Furthermore, such interactions can expose adolescents to
local, unconventional, or alternative cultural models.
Most theoretical perspectives on neighbor-hood effects on youth assume that the
neighborhood serves as a source of socialization,
particularly for adolescents. Through differen-
tial exposure to behavioral models or cultural
ideas, disadvantaged neighborhoods are thought
to influence how young people make decisions
in domains such as schooling and romantic rela-
tionships. For example, Wilson's (1996) social
isolation theory argues that residents o f poor
neighborhoods are isolated from middle class or
mainstream social groups, organizations, and
institutions as a result of joblessness. Social
isolation creates cultural isolation, which—
when combined with diminished educational
and labor market opportunities—leads to the

This document proposes a solution to combat antisemitism on college campuses by creating a new program called Christians United for Peace in the Middle East. The program would fund Christian freshman students from select universities to go on a birthright-style trip to Israel to gain a balanced, factual understanding of Israeli-Palestinian history and counter anti-Israel narratives. The goal is to educate impressionable students before antisemitic groups can influence them, and for the students to become ambassadors for peace upon their return. The document outlines potential itineraries, themes, and funding sources to make the program a reality.
New democratic movements for global regeneration_driessen 2019TravisDriessen1
Our global species is confronted with the converging crisis of climate change, unsustainable levels of inequality, mass extinction, and growing water and natural resource scarcity that are threatening the existential crisis of collapse. This fallout has already led to massive displacement and refugee crisis across Latin America and the African continent. New democratic social movements are recombining and ushering in new opportunities for a revolution of regenerative settlements to be built out across the globe. Doing so, can create new opportunities to restore biodiversity and bring the atmosphere to safe operating levels, lift billions into unprecedented human prosperity, and transform global governance to promote a new era cooperation and usher in a new era of human discovery and peaceful co-existence.
SGS305 Final Research Paper Democracy Research Methods Professor Charles RipleyHannah Al Ghareeb
This document provides a summary of a research paper that aims to test the congruence and practical application of the Democratic Peace Theory given current policies for promoting democracy. The researcher hypothesizes that the Democratic Peace Theory has flaws that should be addressed if applying it to non-Western regions. Specifically, it has an unclear causal relationship between democracy and peace, and issues implementing democracy in non-Western areas can yield unstable, war-stricken nations rather than peace. The researcher will use qualitative case study methods to analyze flaws in the theory and how well democracy promotion has worked in different contexts.
The document discusses ethnic group conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. It explores how concepts of cultural conformity relate to both groups and how their negative social perceptions of each other contribute to ongoing conflict. The two groups have very different worldviews informed by their religious beliefs and upbringings. Changing social perceptions through interreligious communication and dialogue between younger generations may help resolve some issues over time, though the conflict is complex with deep historical roots on both sides.

The rise of nationalism
Introduction
The rise of nationalism poses a threat to globalization and the set of values that the international community has sought to develop in the past. The election of President Donald Trump and Brexit threatened the neoliberal agenda that has promoted free enterprise and globalization. Understanding the rise of nationalism provides an effective instrument for identifying effective intervention measures.
Research Question
· What has caused the resurgence of nationalism?
Research Hypothesis
· If the USA focuses on electing competent leaders, the resurgence of nationalism will be resolved Comment by angela parham: When the word “will” is used it is predicting the future, which we cannot predict. Please rephrase and email me your new hypothesis.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Introduction
The literature review aimed at developing a holistic understanding of nationalism and its resurgence in the modern society. As a result, past and present incidences of nationalism were examined in the research process. The findings of the study form the basis for understanding the psychology of the modern nationalist and the factors that cause it to be prevalent among different parts of the society.
Search Description
The search terms comprised of ‘nationalism’, ‘causes of nationalism’, ‘causes of Brexit’ and ‘Trumpism’. The search results produced leads that the researcher used to identify other literature material on the subject. The focused research played an important role in enabling the researcher to identify the literature that could be used in the study. In addition, the internet search involved ‘resurgence of nationalism’ and ‘nationalists’.

Fig. 1: Theoretical framework for the resurgence of nationalism
The theoretical framework demonstrates the impact that environmental factors have on the inherent patriotism of an individual. Each person has a close relationship with their nation that forms part of their identity. The cultural factors in the society may affect how people perceive others. Part of the opposition towards nationalism can be linked to cultural issues, which affect how the people perceive each other. In addition, social-economic factors may affect the sense of security that a person has about their future (Spencer & Wollman, 2005). Political actors may exploit social-economic and cultural factors to stir interest in nationalism. The resurgence of nationalism can be linked to the cultural and social-economic factors in the American society. Consequently, it is evident that the adoption of nationalism is a response to threats to the identity or survival of an individual. The push for nationalism is a reactive response to the fear and anxiety caused by the potential loss of the identity of a person (BBC, 2018).
Review of the literat.
This article describes a program called Young Warriors that aims to cultivate critical consciousness in young African American men. The program uses movies and rap videos from hip hop culture to help the young men critically analyze messages about race, gender, class and social issues in popular culture. The goal is to enhance their critical thinking skills so they can better understand social forces that influence their communities, and analyze everyday economic, social and cultural challenges. The program is described as drawing from concepts of critical thinking, media literacy, political socialization and psychosocial development to foster sociopolitical development in the young men.

Evidence-Based Recommendations
Illegal immigration is one of the abused issues in the United States. The issue is of great concern as it not only changes the economic, cultural, but also the social aspect of the nation of concern. Immigration has been wrongly used in the political arenas as political leaders strive to throw their weight around while portraying their competitors how better they are. To the citizenry, immigrants increase competition in the already scarce employment opportunities. Immigrants cheaply provide easily accessible labor hence being preferred over the hosts of the country. On the other hand, they increase competition on available social amenities such as education and health care, hence at times referred to as a burden to the economy. People migrate while escaping wars and natural calamities such as hunger.
In contrast, others move illegally following societal ills such as human trafficking, where they end up in social evils such as prostitution. Whether migrating through the right or wrong channels, deportation has far-reaching effects, especially with the involvement of parents. Right measures should be implemented in dealing with the issue of deportation.
Granting amnesty is one of the options that could be explored in dealing with the deportation of parents. Amnesty entails the granting of a formal legal status to individuals with an illegal residence in a country and is awaiting deportation. The issue of amnesty among immigrants is received with mixed reactions. While some political leaders use the amnesty programs as a means of benefiting themselves, the citizens of the country view the move as a means of suppressing their access to resources. According to Levy (2010), people in support of an amnesty program among the illegal migrants view the deportation of illegal immigrants as being an impractical move. The deportation process is hectic for both the officials and the involved parties. Levy (2010) noted that the deportation process is time-consuming, requires a lot of effort, and is labor-intensive.
The country would have to incur additional costs in trying to correct a situation created by people who failed to take their jobs seriously. Also, it is not a guarantee that all illegal immigrants would be successfully deported as some may escape detection, which means that the government goes through all that trouble for nothing. Instead, the government should use the challenge of illegal immigrants to its advantage. Numerous low-skilled employment positions are unfilled because Americans cannot fill the positions, despite being crucial to the nation's economy. The country stands to benefit more with the illegal immigrants given amnesty as opposed to when there are deported. Levy (2010) added that the legalization of immigrants through ac.

Attention Getters Diaspora Support For Ethno Political Organizations In The ...Jeff Nelson
This document summarizes a research article that examines why some ethnopolitical organizations receive support from their diaspora groups while others do not. It reviews previous literature that generally views diasporas as potentially destabilizing forces that can exacerbate conflicts in their homelands. However, some recent studies have found that diasporas can also play positive roles in conflict resolution. The authors analyze data on 112 minority political organizations in the Middle East from the Minorities at Risk Organizational Behavior dataset to identify factors that influence whether an organization receives diaspora support or not, such as the organization's power, ideology, political behavior, and treatment by the government. Preliminary evidence suggests that organizations that are most effective at gaining attention through
US Public Diplomacy Plan for Syria ProblemRuoshi Li
This document outlines a US public diplomacy plan for Syria with the following key points:
1) The plan has two main target audiences - Syrian youth suffering under Assad and international audiences concerned about the civil war.
2) The objectives are to influence Syrian youth's views of democracy and perceptions of the US, and gain international recognition of US efforts to promote democracy and counter terrorism.
3) The strategies proposed include providing humanitarian aid through partnerships with UN agencies to help Syrian refugees, and using media framing to shape the narrative around the civil war and US involvement.
This document discusses minority recruitment and enrollment at predominantly white institutions. It begins by defining predominantly white institutions as those mainly comprising white students with few students from other races. It then discusses the legal aspects of diversity in higher education, including the 1978 Supreme Court case Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, which allowed universities to give modest preference to minority students. This increased minority enrollment at predominantly white institutions. The document also discusses techniques for improving minority recruitment, such as considering ethnic and cultural factors in communication and using public relations to promote diversity. It concludes that innovative programming and policies are needed to assist minority students in dealing with academic and social challenges.
Rethinking Participation In A European Contextnnriaz
This document discusses frameworks for understanding marginalized groups and their participation in society. It focuses on intersectionality and how people have multiple, intersecting identities that shape their experiences of marginalization. Gypsy communities are used as a case study. Some key challenges to their participation include poverty, poor health, lack of education, employment barriers, and cultural barriers. However, the online sphere, like Facebook, may help lower barriers to political and civic participation for marginalized youth by making engagement easier and more interactive at low cost. Understanding intersectionality and exploring virtual spaces are presented as ways to potentially increase meaningful participation of marginalized groups like young Gypsies.
This document summarizes a research study that examined how social support structures impact the successful resettlement of Burmese and Burundian refugees in a Midwestern city in the United States. The study utilized qualitative interviews with 13 Burmese and 23 Burundian refugees to understand how support from resettlement agencies and social networks affected refugees' well-being and ability to access resources. Key findings included that gaps in employment and housing services from resettlement agencies negatively impacted refugees, while strong social support networks provided emotional, informational and instrumental support that helped refugees cope with challenges. The results contribute to understanding how to best assist refugee families through strengthening support structures.
Diversity in the United States Final by GilSheppard ETH125.docx Sat. May 16,...Gilbert sheppard
The document discusses diversity in the United States. It notes that minority populations are expected to become the majority by 2050, with Hispanics growing the fastest. There have historically been challenges to diversity from European colonists not respecting Native Americans. However, diversity provides benefits like improved business and innovation. The media both supports diversity through educational content and shows prejudice at times in its coverage of issues. Overall, as diversity increases, working together across racial and ethnic groups will be important for community success.

MINORITY BOYS SCHOOL DROPOUT AND CONTINUATION SCHOOL 2
Literature Review
Literature Review
It is expected that every student enrolled in high school works hard towards the completion of their high school diploma. However, research indicates there was a 5.4% drop out among the minority groups, in which 6.4% of the overall status dropout rate is that of the male youth. Among the Africans, Hispanics, and American Indian Natives, the dropout rates among the boys are 8%, 10%, and 11.6%, respectively (Musu-Gillette, De Brey, McFarland, Hussar, Sonnenberg, & Wilkinson-Flicker, 2017). These dropouts often join continuation schools later in life with the hope that they will get an equivalent of their high school diploma. The theoretical framework of this research is based on the phenomenological approach, in which the aim is to examine the occurrence of school dropout among minority boys and their performance after joining continuation school.
One of the theories that explain why minority boys drop out of school is the Critical Race Theory.

GREEN TAXES POLICY IN AID TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT & HUMAN HEALTHindexPub
Sustainable development goals, brought out under Agenda 2030, list the exhaustive coverage of areas that require the attention of countries across the globe. SDG 3 is dedicated to the health of human beings across all ages. Target 3.9 of SDG 3 aims to reduce the number of deaths caused by air, water, and soil pollution. The Research paper suggests adopting fiscal measures as an essential step in reducing global pollution. The combustion of petroleum products has been responsible for the significant emission of particulate matter in the atmosphere. The overall study of the health hazards caused by pollution suggests an urgent need to control the widespread pollution. Apart from other available measures, the researcher suggests that the levy of Green Taxes can play a vital role in minimizing the health hazards due to pollution. Principle 16 of the Rio Declaration suggests fiscal policy measures that can assist in internalising the social costs due to pollution. The researcher proposes to study the health hazards caused by different kinds of pollution and aims to suggest a policy framework for Green Taxes that can assist governments across the globe in mitigating the adverse effects of pollution on human health.
CLEANING, SHAPING AND OBTURATION PROTOCOLS FOLLOWED BY DENTISTS IN INDIA – A...indexPub
Introduction: The main objective of endodontic therapy is the complete elimination of microbes and
their by-products from the root canal system. Despite the high success rate of root canal treatment,
there are failures too. Hence, our survey aimed to investigate the differences in cleaning, shaping, and
obturation protocols followed among general dentists and endodontists in India. Method: A multiple
choice questionnaire was designed and distributed to 700 dentists in India through a social media
application. The questions covered all the protocols and techniques for root canal treatment. The
collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics at a 0.05 level of significance to get the results
as frequencies and percentages. Results: A total of 332 dentists among 700 participated in the
survey. Among 332 dentists, 181 were non-endodontists and 149 were endodontists. The highest
number of participants used K- hand files for instrumentation followed by NiTi rotary instruments in a
torque with gear reduction handpiece following the Step-back technique. Participants polled for calcium
hydroxide as a choice of interappointment intracanal medicament in case of lesion and the patients
were recalled after 7 days. 99.69% of participants favored the usage of gutta-percha with zinc oxide
eugenol for root canal obturation. Most of the participants used composite restoration as postendodontic restoration and advocated crowns in all cases Conclusions: Though there were only 332
participants in this survey, the study was able to provide the details of the dental practice among the
population. This survey could also show the standard of care, knowledge, and skills that have improved
due to continual dental education through conferences, seminars, and workshops. However, further
studies are necessary to evaluate this trend.
MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF BURHIGANG AND SADHARU RIVER BASIN WITH THE APPLICATI...indexPub
The morphometric analysis of drainage basins and channel networks is crucial for understanding the geo-hydrological nature of the area, reflecting the prevailing climate, geology, geomorphology, and structural antecedents of the catchment area (Rao et al., 2009). Geographical Information System (GIS) offers an effective tool for image processing, identification of morphological features, and analyzing basin properties. This study aims to evaluate morphometric parameters such as stream order (Nu), stream length (Lu), bifurcation ratio (Rb), drainage density (Dd), stream frequency (Fs), etc., of the Burhigang and Sadharu basins, two adjoining basins situated in the newly created Biswanath district of Assam, including a small part in Arunachal Pradesh. The basins are located between 26°57'17.10" N and 26°38'10.75" N latitudes and 93°06'32.85" E and 93°16'42.25" E longitudes.The GIS-based morphometric analyses reveal that both Burhigang and Sadharu are 4th order basins covering 160.68 km² and 74.91 km² area, respectively. Utilizing SRTM data rectified with topographic data of 1:50000 scales obtained from the Survey of India toposheet, this paper presents an analysis of morphometric parameters using digital analysis and standard formulae suggested by Horton (1932, 1945), Miller (1953), Schumm (1956), and Strahler (1964).
FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN INDIA-WITH REFERENCE TO TRAD...indexPub
Purpose: Inconclusive results from a slew of earlier empirical research on the link between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic development inspired the present inquiry. The paper acknowledges that past research has relied most heavily on the shaky premise that a correlation between FDI inflows and economic development can be drawn without treating the inflows separately according to sectors. Design/Methodology/Approach: The purpose of the study is based on Trading Sector (Top 10 Sectors) in India and the data is secondary data collected from the DPIIT website for the period 2022-2023. We are Using stalactitical tools like ADF Stationarity, VECM, VAR, MIDAS Originality/Value: Utilizing a period shifting boundary model with a vector autoregressive particular, this study explores the expected effect of FDI on the extension of explicit businesses in India, a nonindustrial country. The study's findings are supported by da number of econometric tests, including the Johansen's cointegration test, the vector blunder rectification model, the Granger causality test, the fluctuation disintegration examination, and the drive reaction investigation. Findings: Growth and investment from outside the country, both now and in the future. According to the report, in order to attract and absorb more FDI and maintain sustained economic development, economic policymakers in India should revitalize the primary sector. Furthermore, the agricultural sector may be more dependent on the government's economic growth policies than the more volatile Trading sector.
CONSISTENCY IN THE CREDIT RATING METHODOLOGY – A STUDY OF INDIAN CREDIT RATIN...indexPub
Purpose: The effective allocation of money in the financial sector is greatly aided by credit rating agencies (CRAs). A number of scholars, however, definitely stand out to the way that CRAs contain flaws that contributed to disastrous outcomes like the financial crisis of 2008. One of the main causes of the problems affecting the credit rating business is the rivalry among credit reporting agencies (CRAs), which is the main topic of this article. This article examines how competition affects a company's credit rating using quantitative and regression methods. Design/Methodology/Approach: In this study, we use dual ratings to see whether rating inflation and shopping are effects of industry competitiveness. Findings from the study indicate that CRAs artificially boost a company's credit rating in order to stay competitive. Competition among credit reporting agencies (CRAs) for new customers fuels rating shopping in the credit rating sector as well. In this analysis, we look at the scores given by CRISIL, CARE, ICRA, and INDIA RATINGS India, the four main credit rating agencies recognised by SEBI. Originality/Value: We use descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and various appropriate ratios with companies to determine their credibility. Data from different sources shows that CRISIL primarily considers business risk, financial risk, management risk, and project risk when evaluating issuers and instruments. We also found that Crisil had lower default rates and the BBB rating grade had the highest stability. Findings: Regulatory agencies and financial institutions should pay close attention to the consequences of the paper's conclusions. Previous attempts by authorities to fix the credit rating industry's problems have included opening up the market to additional competitors. In 2006, the Credit Rating Agency Reform Act was established by President Bush and the United States Congress.

SUSTAINABLE INVESTING UNVEILED: THE ROLE OF BOND RATINGS IN GUIDING GREEN BON...indexPub
The increasing urgency to address climate change has propelled sustainable investing into the spotlight, with green bonds emerging as a pivotal instrument for mobilizing the capital required for environmental projects. This study delves into the critical role that bond ratings play in guiding investments in green bonds, shedding light on how these ratings influence investor confidence and the allocation of funds towards sustainable initiatives. By employing a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of green bond performance with qualitative interviews from industry experts, this research offers a comprehensive overview of the interplay between bond ratings and green bond investments. The findings suggest that higher bond ratings, often indicative of lower risk and better sustainability credentials, significantly impact the attractiveness of green bonds to investors. Additionally, the study examines the evolution of rating criteria to encompass environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, highlighting the shift towards more holistic assessments of investment risk and potential. This research contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable finance by providing insights into the mechanisms through which bond ratings can facilitate more informed and impactful green bond investments.
AN EXPLONATORY ANALYSIS OF HR ANALYTICS MODEL OVER BIG DATA PROCESS IMPACT ON...indexPub
By generating pertinent indicators, Human Resource Analytics (HRA) can provide HR personnel with a broader perspective on their contribution to the organization's financial objectives. There is a scarcity of research, however, regarding the impact of HRA on business outcomes, specifically in the context of organisations based in India and Vietnam. Within this particular framework, the current study investigates the impact of HRA big data capabilities on business outcomes. The study also investigates the discrepancy between the actual and perceived levels of big data expertise possessed by human resources analysts in Indian and Vietnamese organisations. The current study constructs a conceptual framework in order to examine the hypotheses formulated for assessing the interconnections between the variables being investigated. Utilising the Capability, Motivation, and Opportunity (CMO) framework, it accomplishes this. The data were collected using a quantitative approach, which entailed integrating the various components of HRA expertise and assessing their influence on business outcomes through the utilisation of big data. A systematic questionnaire was developed and distributed to 230 human resources professionals employed by various organisations located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and Hyderabad, India. In addition to HR administrators, users of HRAs comprised the participants. A variety of statistical methods were applied to the data to assess the disparity between HRA's anticipated and realised big data capabilities, as well as the impact of HRA on business outcomes. It appears, based on the data that offering incentives and opportunities to employees with HR analytical skills could result in enhanced performance for the organisation. Research has demonstrated that providing opportunities and incentives to skilled employees is crucial for encouraging the development of their analytical abilities. Possessing these types of analytical abilities significantly influences the outcomes of an organisation.

Introduction: The prevalence of depression and its correlates in Bangladeshi rural university students have been rarely investigated. We draw a literature review, a cross-sectional study and analysis of the rural students’ depression natures and mechanisms that influence their academic performance and health and well-being. Methods: A cross-sectional research was conducted during the period august 2019 to January 2020 in a university. We employed Beck Depression Inventory scale to collect data from 200 undergraduate and graduate students. Data were analysed using chi-square association test and ordinal logistic regression. Results: We discovered that mild to severe depression affected 60% of rural students [mild (16%), borderline (10%), moderate (12%), severe (11.5%), and extreme (10.5%)]. Family expectations, smoking, bad academic achievement, inability to enroll in a particular program, and inadequate household finances were significant risk factors for depression. When it comes to depression, male students scored noticeably higher than female pupils. The decreased depression was linked to both strong household economics and intellectual achievement. Conclusions: The intricate interactions among the risk factors influence the character and processes of depression in rural students.
IMPACT OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT ON SUCCESSION PLANNINGindexPub
Motivation: HR in an organization faces various challenges in business environment, such as Building Capabilities, Improving Productivity, Building Performance Culture, Talent Management, Succession Planning for Key Leadership and Critical Roles, Developing Accountability and Ownership, Human Capital Management and transforming HR function into developmental Role from the legacy driven HR, etc. Succession Planning is the process of identifying and developing individuals, who have potential to hold the key leadership position in an Organization, whereas Performance Management includes assessing and improving upon the performance of an employee to meet the organizational goals. There are several Management Practices, which are adopted widely in Industry to make a successful Succession Planning. Workforce and Talent Management is one of them. The health of an organization majorly depends on the proper placement of people, which is a combined outcome of Talent Identification, Talent Development and Talent Retention. Performance Management plays a vital role in Talent Identification. It also has an impact on Talent Development and Talent Retention. The key idea of succession planning suggests that the right person to be placed at the right position at the right time. Succession planning is becoming a challenge these days in the corporate world. Organizations are often not found prepared with their successors to occupy the key positions as and when required. The positions are either kept vacant for a substantial period or more than one role is assigned to a single person. Identifying the right talent for the key positions from outside the organization and recruiting them is a much more difficult task at the eleventh hour. This has a significant impact on organizational health and in turn to organizational sustainability. Organizations must last longer than people. Role of organization continues even when the people move out. Employees must superannuate after attaining a certain age. Also, organizations must have a contingency plan for sudden vacancy arises out of attrition, health hazards and death of employee. Succession planning is the strategy to ensure that a suitable person is made available during exigencies. Employees are developed for taking on higher responsibilities and for the new roles that may emerge in future. The placement of Key Leadership positions can be executed either by inviting the talent from outside or developing the talent in-house. The latter is always in demand keeping in view the core values of the organization and the impact on loyalty and organizational culture in a long run. It is preferable to develop the in-house talent pool to reduce dependency on recruitment of experienced people from outside for the critical roles. It brings the talent acquisition cost low and contributes as a motivating factor for the team as well. The acceptability of a person placed at Top / Key Leadership Positions is high when these are occupied

A SOCIAL CAPITAL APPROACH TO ENTREPRENEURIAL ECOSYSTEM AND INNOVATION: CASE S...indexPub
Despite being recognised as drivers of innovative development, Micro, Small, and Medium-Sized Enterprises (MSMEs) frequently confront resource limitations. Therefore, enhancing the ecosystem is contingent on the entrepreneurs’ social capital, which is crucial for the success of MSMEs. This study applies the social capital approach to analyse the entrepreneurial ecosystem enrichment and its impact on the innovation process of cosmetics MSMEs. The qualitative case study of six cosmetic manufacturing MSMEs explores that social capital is a multifaceted asset to MSMEs. Through an in-depth thematic analysis of three dimensions of social capital (structural, relational, and cognitive), this study states that the innovation process is supported by the synergistic transformation of one dimension of social capital into another. Entrepreneurs sharing the common norms, rules, and language enrich their cognitive as well as relational aspects of ecosystem. The study suggests that as network ties, trust, and norms collectively influence innovation in firms, hence, social capital needs to be studied with its contextualization in the ecosystem.

THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL FACTORS ON INDIVIDUALS DIAGNOSED WITH SCHIZOPHRENIAindexPub
The society with diverse structural and ideological influences, assumes its role in relation to behavior, attitude, belief and relations. The impact can be seen in every society globally, however the western nations have adjusted their social policies to suit these transformations, whereas nations in developing phase have failed to establish suitable systems. In Kosovo, the allocation of funds for mental health services remains insufficient, even though mental health disorders account for 12.3% of overall illnesses and 30.8% of work incapacities!

Abstract
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from
universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency
about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the
cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by
students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these
protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate
communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional,
psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing
on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices
made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with
a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic
media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives
of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating
student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social
backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of
student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound
commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of
information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader
implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential
to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student
activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of
these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these
sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The sacrifices made by the students protesting for the cause of Gaza have made some
universities negotiate with the students, including divesting from the companies supporting the
war against Gaza. Other universities have decided to disclose the amount of investment in
companies engaged in the war against Gaza. As a result, the students have decided to end the
encampments.
Education, especially at the university level, plays a significant role in strengthening the
wellbeing of society. The students boycotting the classes hamper the completion of courses,

which has huge monetary, and psychological consequences on the life of students. The
significant causes of student protests are the poor administration of universities, the lack of
transparent policies of the universities, and poor communication between university officials
and students. The universities should resort to good administration, transparent policies and
effective communication between the university officials and the students. Identifying the
comprehensive implications of student protesting, all the partners must categorize the
calculated mediations to protect not only the national educational interest but also to safeguard
the humanitarian aspect of the society and not let the oppressor further exploit the weaker
section of the society. Feinberg, and Salehyan (2023)
2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Realising the Change that Started by Pro-Palestine Students
2.1.1 The Changes in the Narrative
The narrative of the War of 2023/2024 on Gaza that started to shape the Gen-Z is that a
group of people conspire against the rest of the world to plunder their wealth, steal their lands,
or control their energy sources in the name of Zionism and its related allies. A series of different
destruction or attacks begin to dominate these oppressed societies with the aim of sabotaging
their life systems economically, ideologically, and morally. Those who have values are weak
in responding to these conspiracy-based attacks due to their fragmentation and lack of strength.
Buheji (2024)
The conspirators are waiting for the opportunity, which they believe is historic, to
eliminate their victims forever. An example of this is the idea of displacing two million citizens
from Gaza in agreement with the allied Western and certain Arab Governments who
normalised the relations with Israel. The narrative says that this is in exchange for its promise
to displace more Arabs around Palestine, shape the geopolitical maps and disrupt the
demography in the region.
A group of rights holders rise up to defend their rights after they have become aware and
realise that the hidden force that runs the universe will be on their side if they rise up in order
to change their humiliating reality, despite the material advantage prevailing on the side of their
enemies. This group is the generation that has become capable of confrontation, the generation
of change, and the generation that was chosen to implement (the Sunnah of Usage). Buheji
(2018)
2.1.2 Understanding the Generation-Z relation to the Spirit of Sacrifice
Leading organizations are surprised by the increasing student movements in the USA and
the West. Recent surveys at Harvard University show shifting opinions among young
Americans regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the War on Gaza. A national poll by
the Institute of Politics at Harvard University (2024) Kennedy School found that over half of
young Americans (18-29) plan to vote in the upcoming Presidential election, with varying
support levels among subgroups. The Harvard Public Opinion Project (HPOP) has highlighted
growing political engagement among young Americans, driven by concerns over the economy,
foreign policy, and social issues. Despite the majority still supporting Israel, the Harvard
CAPS-Harris survey revealed that support for Palestine and its rights for liberation among Gen
Z has increased, with 43% expressing support, compared to 37% in a previous survey. Buheji
et al. (2024)

Pro-Palestinian protests have surged on college campuses since the October 7 Hamas
attack on Israel, drawing national attention and leading to numerous arrests. Polls indicate that
support for Hamas decreases with age, and there is strong support for a permanent ceasefire in
Gaza among young Americans. Impelli (2024), Buheji and Hasan (2024b)
A significant portion of Gen-Z believes that the resolution to the conflict requires the
disappearance of the State of Israel, with support for Palestinian resistance growing. This shift
in beliefs has alarmed the ruling elite in the USA, as it contrasts sharply with traditional
Western views. Harvard University (2024)
A significant portion of Generation Z believes that the resolution to the conflict requires
the disappearance of the State of Israel, with support for Palestinian resistance growing. This
shift in beliefs has alarmed the ruling elite in the USA, as it contrasts sharply with traditional
Western views. Impelli (2024)
Another poll by The Economist showed scepticism among Generation Z about the
historical narrative of the Holocaust, with many doubting its occurrence or viewing the
accounts as exaggerated. This has raised concerns about the influence of social media and the
need for educational intervention. The Economist (2023)
2.1.3 The Counter-movement to the Sacrificers
The counter-movement might invent humanitarian, environmental, or health disasters to
distract public opinion from the Palestinian issue, such as initiating a side war or causing a
catastrophe. The counter-movement ignites regional, political, or religious strife among
Palestinians to undermine their credibility and portray their cause as unjust.
Supporters of the resistance party must impose the reality of differentiation in different
arenas on the basis of supporters and opponents. This means the reclassification of social,
economic, and political forces on the basis of supporting or opposing the rights of the
Palestinian people.
Such a new reality will impose a new chain of loyalties, and break an old chain of
loyalties that were based on people following the major bodies and groups that control the
world with their names, brands, records, fame, assets, and platforms. Boren (2013).
2.2 Realising the Solidarity of a Movement that is willing to Sacrifice
2.2.1 A Movement with Clear Main Unified Value
The flow of high values coming from Gaza, defending their existence, their land and their
community, have been resonating with this Gen-Z who feels too that they have been cheated,
let down similar to those suffering displacement, or being marginalized by the deep Zionist
system in the Western Society, Al-Muhannadi and Buheji (2024). This has created new
communities that, although helpless themselves, sympathize with these struggles and provide
aid and logistical support. This support is manifested through daily peaceful demonstrations in
Europe, America, and some Asian capitals, as well as economic boycotts against entities and
companies supporting the perpetrators of violence and oppression. Buheji and Ahmed (2023)
Activists are leveraging alternative media to raise awareness and mobilize public opinion.
In the USA, young and educated generations are confronting blatant human rights violations
and advocating for the right to life. These young activists are at the forefront of shaping public
opinion, leading protests and strikes at 250 university campuses, including some of the most
prestigious institutions, demanding justice. Buheji and Hasan (2024b)

Immigrants who have long had platforms in Western countries are finding a new
audience eager to learn about the issue and its history, and even to explore Islam. These new
supporters are receptive to calls for change, embracing the cause with conviction and passion
before preachers and speakers even begin to address them. They are convinced of the need for
change, which deeply resonates with their own lives.
The recent surge in student activism can be attributed to a growing disillusionment
among young people with the contradictions they perceive in their political, academic, and
commercial systems. Generation Z, which places a high value on justice, transparency, and
authenticity, finds the support for the Israeli occupation by their institutions and governments
to be hypocritical. They reject the crimes committed in their name, whether through university
investments, government taxes, or political stances. The powerful rallying cry of "Not in our
name" reflects their determination to dissociate from actions they view as unjust. Buheji and
Ahmed (2017)
2.2.2 A Movement that Appreciates History of the Role of Students to Mobilise Change
Cycles in the World
The university student movement coincided with the black liberation movement of the
1960s and positively impacted achieving victory. However, the largest student movement came
in 1970 when students demonstrated at Kent State University - Ohio, in opposition to the war
in Vietnam. The police opened fire on them, killing four and wounding nine. Four million
students went on strike, which was the largest demonstration shock in the country’s history.
Then Nixon came after it and ended the war. Boren (2013).
After years of internal American political disputes over the future of the apartheid regime
in South Africa and student demonstrations, Berkeley University decided to withdraw its
investments from South Africa in 1978, and about 156 American universities followed suit.
Thus, economic and political pressures increased until the apartheid regime fell. Buheji and
Hasan (2024c)
Immediately after October 7, 4 out of 200 members of Congress voted in Favor of the
Palestinian resistance’s right to defend itself, and then the votes began to increase. It should be
known that 4.5 million voters who are biased toward Israel in American society are Jews in
origin. While tens of millions of voters who are biased toward Israel are Christian Zionists who
believe in the coming of the Savior, and believe that only 144,000 Jews will turn into Christians
at the end of time, and that the rest will disappear.
This new generation's commitment to their principles has led to a robust and widespread
movement demanding change, justice, and accountability. Their activism signifies a significant
shift in public opinion and political engagement, highlighting the increasing influence of
younger generations in shaping the future.
2.2.3 A Movement that Realises a Lifetime Opportunity
These are rare opportunities that activists, oppressed communities and advocates of
change cannot afford to miss or neglect. This is a chance to debunk the false narrative of the
usurping entity that has deceived the global masses for decades. The Israeli entity uses this
myth to manipulate and attract sympathy for their alleged cause.
There is an opportunity to unveil the global political and economic conspiracies that
undermine human freedoms and rebuild national wealth. This is a crucial moment to elevate
awareness among people and societies about their rightful claims to life, and self-
5. Volume 63 | Issue 05 | May 2024

determination. Colonizing countries have exploited these resources since the era of
colonialism.
This is an opportunity to challenge the negative exploitation of laws that control public
freedoms. Laws against anti-Semitism, intellectual terrorism, and defamation of religion are
often misused to serve specific interests, and this moment can help to correct these abuses.
This new generation's commitment to their principles has led to a robust and widespread
movement demanding change, justice, and accountability. Their activism signifies a significant
shift in public opinion and political engagement, highlighting the increasing influence of
younger generations in shaping the future.
2.2.4 Growing Disillusionment about Transparency of the Western Countries about the
Palestine Issue
Every civilization defends its ideology, and American civilization has long been
distinguished by its Constitution, which guarantees public freedoms, democracy, the rule of
law, and individual privacy. However, the United States is also built on economic, political,
and national interests that are deeply intertwined with the ruling elite's interests.
When these interests align with constitutional principles, there is no conflict. But when
they clash, public freedoms are often compromised to protect elite interests. Generation Z
university students have become acutely aware of this hypocrisy.
In the 1980s, persistent demonstrations against apartheid in South Africa led to
significant actions, such as Berkeley University and 156 other universities divesting from
companies supporting the apartheid regime. This contributed to the fall of apartheid in South
Africa. Today, American university students are taking a similar stand against their country's
support for Israel. Motivated by a strong sense of justice, they demand that universities divest
from investments in companies that manufacture weapons for Israel, not wanting to be
complicit in the oppression or apartheid.
The endowments of American universities are substantial, totalling about $450 billion
among the 20 largest universities. Suppose students succeed in their divestment campaigns at
one university. Others are likely to follow in that case, leading to a domino effect that could
significantly impact Israeli policies by reducing investment and forcing stock prices to fall.
This potential economic Impact is a major concern for the Israeli entity. Buheji and Hasan
(2024c), Lozano (2024)
As students learn more about the origins of the Palestinian issue, their understanding
deepens, and their anger grows. They uncover historical inaccuracies, media biases, the
influence of capital in decision-making, and the Zionist lobby's control over legislation in
Congress. This has sparked a broad movement of rejection, starting from street protests to
boycotts of goods, social media campaigns, and university actions, extending even to the
cultural boycott of celebrities and artists who remain silent on the issue.
This new generation's commitment to their principles has led to a robust and widespread
movement demanding change, justice, and accountability. Their activism signifies a significant
shift in public opinion and political engagement, highlighting the increasing influence of
younger generations in shaping the future.

2.3 Appreciating the Level and Types of Sacrtifice by the Pro-Palestine Students
2.3.1 Source of Students Strong Belief that Raise the Level of Sacrifice
The availability of information and self-education has empowered individuals to become
more informed about global issues. Interaction with Arab, Muslim, and Palestinian students
has also played a crucial role in fostering a climate of respect for human dignity and support
for the oppressed. This influence extends even to Jewish students, who, despite their Zionist
backgrounds, are affected by peer pressure and the moral arguments of their peers. This has
led to Jewish students participating in demonstrations, challenging the actions of the ruling
elite.
Students studying human values and principles are often shocked by the violence and
injustices supported by their universities. This has led to powerful demonstrations with slogans
like "Do not kill in our name." Many students feel a deep moral obligation to participate in
movements against current injustices, driven by the desire to be on the right side of history.
The endowments of American universities are another source of students’ belief in
making a difference. They believe that starting a movement for divestment from Israel can stop
contracts of more than $450 billion among the 20 largest universities. These students believe
that their divestment success, even at one university, others are likely to follow, leading to a
domino effect that could significantly impact Israeli policies by reducing investment and
forcing stock prices to fall. This potential economic Impact is a major concern for the Israeli
entity.
Progressive movements have been effective in exposing media falsehoods and political
hypocrisy, as seen in historical precedents like the Iraq War and the fight against terrorism in
Afghanistan. This has led to widespread distrust of media figures and political officials,
prompting students to seek information independently.
2.3.2 Hopes of Students Sacrificing for Pro-Palestine Protests
No doubt that the Pro-Palestine students who engage in activism and make significant
sacrifices are driven by a range of hopes and aspirations. These personal and collective hopes
reflect their desire for justice, change, and a better future. Buheji (2020a)
Hope is important, as it brings determination and dedication to the cause one is fighting
for. Despite the challenges, many students feel a deep sense of hope and determination. The
belief that their actions can contribute to meaningful change sustains their efforts and provides
emotional resilience, Buheji (2020a). Besides, whether through protests, education, or
advocacy, taking action can lead to feelings of empowerment and a sense of purpose. Buheji
(2020a)
Students hope is also to see an end to the oppression and injustices faced by Palestinians.
They are driven by the belief that their efforts can help bring about significant changes in the
lives of those suffering under occupation. They aim for international recognition and respect
for Palestinian human rights, ensuring that the basic rights and dignity of Palestinian people
are upheld.
The rising awareness about Palestinian rights and the changing narratives are making
Gen-Z students get even more involved in the importance of this global awareness. They
believe that educating others and spreading information can shift public opinion and generate
broader support. This makes these students aim to challenge and change the prevailing
7. Volume 63 | Issue 05 | May 2024
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.11401839
ISSN: 0363-8057 89 www.gradiva.it
misconceptions and biased narratives about Palestinians and their struggle, promoting a more
accurate and empathetic understanding of the conflict. Buheji et al. (2024)
There is also a hope that these students influence policymakers to adopt more just and
equitable policies regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. By demanding divestment and
changes in university policies, they aim to hold institutions accountable for their financial and
political support of oppressive regimes. This includes pushing for government actions that
support Palestinian rights and oppose occupation.
The other hope of all hopes is that this student generation believes in building a strong
sense of solidarity among diverse groups, including fellow students, faculty, and the broader
community for the cause. They believe that unified support can amplify their Impact.
Therefore, they strive to empower Palestinian voices, ensuring that those who are directly
affected by the conflict have a platform to share their stories and advocate for their rights. This
hope is motivated by maintaining their moral and ethical integrity, i.e. living according to
values and beliefs, and feeling that their activism is a necessary expression of their commitment
to justice. This hope has built among them a sense of purpose and fulfilment. They hope their
actions, even if small, contribute to a larger movement for change. Buheji (2020a), Buheji
(2019)
These students know that they are living in a defining moment where they can create a
legacy and impact future generations' fate. They hope to be part of a historical movement that
brings about meaningful change. They aspire to leave a legacy of activism and advocacy that
future generations can build upon. With this attitude and thinking, they aim to inspire other
young people to engage in social justice causes, fostering a culture of activism and
responsibility among future generations.
The hopes of students sacrificing for Pro-Palestine protests are deeply rooted in their
desire for justice, human rights, and meaningful change. They aim to raise awareness, influence
policies, build solidarity, and maintain moral integrity. These students are driven by the belief
that their efforts can contribute to a better future for Palestinians and set a precedent for global
activism and justice. Their commitment and sacrifices reflect a profound hope for a world
where oppression is challenged, and human dignity is upheld.
2.3.3 Type of Sacrifices and Potential Effects
Pro-Palestine student protesters often face significant sacrifices and challenges due to
their activism. These sacrifices can impact their academic experiences, professional futures,
and personal lives. Students might face disciplinary actions from their universities for
participating in protests, especially if these protests are seen as disruptive. This can include
warnings, suspensions, or even expulsion in extreme cases. Activism can be time-consuming
and emotionally draining, potentially affecting students' academic performance and focus on
their studies. Buheji and Hasan (2024b)
Participation in protests and being involved in controversial movements can show up in
background checks, potentially influencing employers' perceptions and hiring decisions.
Professional networks may be strained, especially if potential employers or colleagues hold
opposing views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This can limit job opportunities and career
advancement.
The Gen-Z's statements reflect their feelings towards the Palestinian people and their
resistance. Some Gen-Z mentions that they see that the Palestinians "don’t despair about this
8. Volume 63 | Issue 05 | May 2024
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.11401839
ISSN: 0363-8057 90 www.gradiva.it
life; the only one they fear is God, and they keep saying: God is all-knowing". Others see
Palestinians "embodying the patience and resilience described in the Bible".
Generation Z, in particular, is drawn to heroic and courageous stances. They admire the
resilience and effectiveness of the Palestinian resistance, which, despite severe constraints,
continues to challenge a technologically superior enemy. News of such steadfastness and
courage ignites their enthusiasm to support justice and human rights, further fueling their
activism.
2.3.4 Students Sacrifice vs. Social Isolation and Stigmatization
Activism can strain relationships with peers who either oppose the pro-Palestine stance
or prefer to remain apolitical. This can lead to social isolation and a sense of being marginalized
within their own community. Students might face backlash on social media and in public,
including harassment and threats, which can affect their mental health and sense of safety.
Participation in protests can sometimes lead to arrests, requiring students to deal with
legal proceedings and potential fines or other penalties. Legal battles can be costly and
stressful. Activism, particularly if it leads to disciplinary actions, might jeopardize scholarships
and financial aid, increasing the financial burden on students and their families, thus increasing
their social isolation further.
These students' strong political stances might lead to feelings of alienation, especially if
their views are not widely accepted within their immediate social circles or academic
environments. It is alarming that these students feel alienated from institutions they perceive
as complicit in the injustices they are fighting against, leading to disconnection from their
educational environment.
2.3.5 Sacrifice vs. Emotional and Psychological Exposure on Pro-Palestine Students
The pressures of activism, combined with potential harassment and threats, can lead to
significant stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues. This sustained activism can result in
burnout, affecting students' overall wellbeing and ability to maintain their academic and
personal responsibilities. Moiz. (2024)
When a young generation of Gen-Z students gets engaged in activism, particularly
around contentious and deeply personal issues such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it could
create on them significant emotional and psychological impacts. For example, it’s could create
for them a level of intense empathy. This type of empathy develops from the constant exposure
to stories of suffering and injustice can lead to overwhelming feelings of empathy. Students
often identify deeply with the struggles of the Palestinian people, which can lead to emotional
exhaustion. This might create a type of compassion fatigue, where students feel drained and
find it harder to maintain their level of emotional support and activism. Buheji and Ahmed
(2024)
The other source of emotional or psychological pressures comes from feelings of anger
and frustration. Witnessing or learning about the injustices faced by Palestinians can evoke
strong feelings of anger and frustration. This anger is often directed at perceived perpetrators,
including governments, institutions, and sometimes peers who do not share their views. The
slow pace of change and the feeling that their efforts may not be making a significant difference
can lead to frustration and a sense of helplessness.
9. Volume 63 | Issue 05 | May 2024
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.11401839
ISSN: 0363-8057 91 www.gradiva.it
Besides the high levels of stress and anxiety, many of these students are living in a state
of uncertainty about the Impact of their actions and potential negative consequences on their
future careers and personal lives. These moral dilemmas make the students experience
cognitive dissonance, where their actions or the actions of their peers conflict with their moral
beliefs. This occurs specifically when protests turn violent or when they face backlash from
family or community members beyond expected. The continuous engagement with complex
issues may lead students to question their own values and beliefs, leading to internal conflict
and stress. Buheji et al. (2024)
2.3.6 Doxxing as a Sample of Pro-Palestine Protesters' Sacrifice
Yes, Pro-Palestine protesters, particularly university students, are facing doxxing and
significant backlash. Several incidents have been reported where students involved in pro-
Palestine activism were targeted with doxxing, which involves the malicious public release of
private or identifying information. This has led to severe consequences for those affected.
At Harvard University, for example, a conservative media group displayed a billboard
truck showing the names and faces of students labelled as "Harvard’s Leading Antisemites"
following a pro-Palestine statement. This created significant safety concerns and led to
emotional distress among the students involved. Many reported feeling scared and stressed;
some even had to inform their families about the potential dangers posed by these doxxing
actions, Kumar (2024).
Furthermore, at the University of Texas, students participating in pro-Palestine protests
expressed fears of being doxxed. They reported altering their online presence to avoid being
targeted, which underscores the anxiety and precautionary measures taken by students involved
in activism, McDaniel (2024).
This doxxing has had professional ramifications as well. Some students have lost job
offers or face challenges in pursuing careers in the United States due to being associated with
pro-Palestine activities. This has prompted calls for greater support from universities to protect
their students from such harassment and its long-term impacts on their lives and careers,Kim
and Montgomery (2023).
Overall, the emotional and psychological toll of doxxing on these students is significant,
affecting their sense of security, professional opportunities, and mental wellbeing. The ongoing
issue highlights the need for institutional support and protective measures for student activists.
2.4 Future Foresight for this Sacrifice Impact
Future foresight relies on an assessment of the present reality, which involves gathering
information about current and recent economic, social, educational, and political conditions.
This data is used to create predictive models of future conditions. However, an unquantifiable
factor also plays a crucial role: the human aspect, which encompasses the release of human
energy towards rejection and change when individuals face challenging environmental choices.
This response is influenced by factors such as willpower, hope, values, dignity, awareness, and
spiritual connection to a higher power. Al-Muhannadi and Buheji (2024)
Human energy can sometimes outweigh the burdens of living, leading to efforts to shape
a new future through unexpected humanitarian movements. For example, in the labour market,
universities, and academies, individuals often face environmental challenges that ignite their
will to change their reality, achieve the impossible, and succeed, as evidenced by numerous
stories of famous and successful people throughout history. Ahmed et al. (2020)
10. Volume 63 | Issue 05 | May 2024
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.11401839
ISSN: 0363-8057 92 www.gradiva.it
At the social level, shared conditions such as witnessing the atrocities created by humans
on follow humans as the war on Gaza, can provoke collective human energy towards change,
manifesting as revolutions, uprisings, or other social movements, Buheji (2024), Snow et al.
(2004). The timing and extent of these movements are unpredictable, governed by a hidden
force that orchestrates the events of the universe according to universal and divine laws. These
laws, which support the weak, advocate for the oppressed, and impose justice, often defy
human plans and expectations. Buheji and Hasan (2024a)
The most important arenas in which differentiation can occur in the future are the arena
of consumption of economic goods, using the economic boycott methodology, which is for a
group of platforms and committees of activists to undertake the boycott methodology and pay
attention to all its details in boycotting consumer goods whose producers have proven to
support the usurping entity. Buheji and Ahmed (2023)
The entertainment and arts arena, by boycotting celebrities who supported the usurping
criminal in its mass massacres, by boycotting their accounts on social media, their works, and
their products. Those who have been silent about protesting crimes can declare their positions.
Buheji and Hasan (2024b)
The other arena, the sports and games arena, by boycotting sports celebrities who
supported crime and allowing those who remained silent about it. The arena of famous media
platforms, boycotting content makers who supported crime and giving an opportunity to those
who remained silent about it. Buheji and Ahmed (2023)
3.0 METHODOLOGY
The paper studies the in-depth analysis of the print and electronic media all across the
globe and especially in the USA about the sacrifices made by the students and professors to
support the cause of Gaza. Further analysis has been carried out to study the Impact of the
sacrifices made by the students and professors all across the global universities towards the
liberation of Gaza.
4.0 APPLICATION & ANALYSIS
4.1 Examples of Sacrifices and Challenges for Pro-Palestine Protests
There is really an amazing case of sacrifices made by the students involved in pro-
Palestine activism. The students have faced disciplinary hearings and social backlash at the
University of California (UC), Berkeley. These students often have to balance their activism
with their academic responsibilities, which can be challenging and exhausting. At Columbia
University, pro-Palestine student activists have reported feeling marginalized and facing
administrative pushback. Despite these challenges, they continued to advocate for their cause,
highlighting the sacrifices they made for their beliefs. Times of Israel (2024)
4.1.1 Long-Term Effects
One of the main sacrifices that these students are making is their activism record. Hence,
while some employers may value the leadership and dedication shown by student activists,
others might view their involvement in controversial issues as a liability, potentially affecting
long-term career prospects. However, this activism might also open new opportunities that
develop the students' networking. Such activism can both open doors within certain
11. Volume 63 | Issue 05 | May 2024

professional circles and close them in others, depending on the political and social views
prevalent in the industry.
4.1.2 Short-Term Effects
Students who receive scholarships from prestigious universities rarely want to risk their
opportunities and future employment due to a changing landscape of awareness and culture.
This means the student would usually try to abide by the university rules, from the time of
acceptance until graduation. This was not the case for the new generation that believed that this
is a defining moment where they sacrificed all the short-term processes, whether at the
university's entry stage or at the graduation ceremony.
Therefore, it is not surprising to hear that many graduates didn’t attend the graduation
ceremony, or they sacrificed being prevented from receiving their certificates because they
interrupted the ceremony with their Pro Palestine peers, raising slogans such as “how do you
spell justice” Boycott Divest & Sanction”. In other universities, students in the graduating
ceremonies protested by staging a walkout against the guest speakers who had been
sympathizing with Israel. These short-term sacrifices are more than can be listed in this paper;
however, in Table (1), we list the most important ones that we expect as authors to have an
effect on the future of the protests.

At the graduation ceremony of Berkeley the graduating students walked
across the stage waving the Palestinian flag and carrying Keffiyeh as a
symbol of protest against Israel for their ongoing war in Gaza. There were
also some students who were against the Pro Gaza student supporters.
According to Michaela Forouzan,a Berkely graduating student, said that
she could not hear the speakers due to the Pro Gaza supporters, and all her
hard work for the last 4 years seems to have been wasted. According to
Eduardo Realegeno,a Berkely graduating student said that he is neither a
Palestinian supporter or an Israeli supporter, but he does not like the idea
of people killing people.

According to Ryan, an English major student at the University of

that the police tried to intimidate the students rather than thinking about
the divestment from the companies supporting Israel in the war against
Gaza. He said that 25 students were hospitalized due to an attack by pro
Israel supporters.However, the pro-Israeli students were not arrested.

4.2 The Academics Sacrifices for Pro-Palestine Protests
Besides the students' sacrifice, the academic sacrifice supported the student pro-Palestine
protests and, as the authors believe, had a role in creating its momentum. It is worth mentioning
that since the War on Gaza in October 2023, many academicians all over the world have either
been fired or suspended due to being pro-Gaza or calling for stopping the genocide in Gaza.

4.3 Formula of Change and the Demand of Sacrifice
The pursuit of change, especially in the context of social and political movements, often
follows a specific formula that requires significant sacrifice. This formula can be observed in
the actions and attitudes of Generation Z, particularly those engaged in the pro-Palestinian
movement.
Gen-Z leverages the abundance of information available through the internet and social
media to educate themselves on global issues. They go beyond mainstream narratives to
understand conflicts' deeper context and history, such as the Israeli-Palestinian situation.
Besides, the increasing interactions with Arab, Muslim, and Palestinian peers provided
firsthand perspectives and fostered empathy, leading to a more profound understanding of the
issues at hand.
The inherent values that Gen-Z hold and their strong beliefs in justice, human rights, and
equality make even their statements full of admiration for the resilience and faith of the
Palestinian people. They see them as embodying virtues of patience, hope, and unwavering
faith in God, which resonate deeply with their own values. And this is part of the formula for
supporting change. Buheji (2020a)
4.4 The Demand of Sacrifice Surrounding Pro-Palestine Students
Achieving meaningful change requires a substantial variety of sacrifices. The top type of
sacrifice demand is the personal risks, including potential damage to their academic and
professional futures, and, in some cases, physical risks during demonstrations. Social
consequences include strained relationships with family and peers who may not share their
views or support their activism. Cassidy et al. (2024)
Activists must also dedicate considerable time and energy to organizing and participating
in protests, educating themselves and others, and campaigning for change.
Pro-Palestine student protesters face various pressures that can significantly impact their
personal, academic, and professional lives. These pressures come from different sources,
including institutional policies, societal backlash, peer relationships, and internal struggles.
14. Volume 63 | Issue 05 | May 2024
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.11401839
ISSN: 0363-8057 96 www.gradiva.it
One of the main pressures on these students is coming from the university, where they
most probably face disciplinary actions from their universities for participating in protests or
disruptive actions. This can include warnings, suspensions, deportation, or expulsions,
affecting their academic records and future educational opportunities. Besides, the
administrative pushback as the pressures to refrain from activism to avoid controversy and
maintain donor relations are another type of pressure. Areeb Ullah (2024)
The other main source of pressure comes from the family and close community. Some
students have faced pressure from family members who disapprove of their activism due to
differing political beliefs or concerns about potential repercussions. This might and can create
conflict within the family and add emotional stress. Also, such sacrifice and commitment can
lead to tensions within broader community groups, especially if these groups have diverse
opinions on the issue. Thus, this can affect the student’s sense of belonging and support.
Some students are already having personal pressures to strained relationships with peers
who hold opposing views or prefer to remain apolitical. This social isolation can lead to a sense
of marginalization within their own communities. In the same time, the harassment and threats
these students they are facing both online and offline are raising their concerns of personal
safety and surely having a direct impact on their mental wellbeing. This can also include social
media attacks and doxxing, where personal information is shared publicly to intimidate or
harass. Cassidy et al. (2024)
The constant pressure of activism, coupled with backlash and potential threats, can lead
to significant stress and anxiety. This can affect students' mental health and academic
performance. This creates another pressure that comes from balancing activism with academic
demands, which can be particularly challenging and exhausting.
The other last but not least source of pressure on these students are the financial burdens
that comes from the legal proceedings and potentially paying fines or legal fees that they would
have carried due to their participation in the protests or the encampment.
This might be very challenging, especially if these students risk jeopardizing scholarships
and financial aid.
4.5 What Resonates Within Students' Hearts and Minds (towards Palestine and Gaza)
that Make Them Sacrifice or Risk Their Future?
Pro-Palestine student protesters are driven by deep-seated beliefs, emotional connections,
and a strong sense of moral responsibility in their hearts and minds. One could confirm that
several key factors contribute to such willingness to sacrifice and risk their futures for such a
cause. The most important factor, as per the authors' analysis, comes from these students'
inspiring motivation for a strong sense of justice that builds their persistence in standing against
what they perceive as egregious human rights violations. They see the plight of Palestinians as
a fundamental issue of human rights and feel morally compelled to take action. Buheji (2022)
This resonation might have increased with the accelerated awareness among Gen-Z,
specifically about the historical and ongoing injustices against Palestinians, including
displacement and military aggression, fuels a determination to seek justice and redress these
wrongs.
The other factor for this resonation is their connections and empathy with the personal
stories inside Palestine. These students' exposure to personal stories and testimonies from
Palestinians, whether through social media, documentaries, or direct interactions, fosters a deep
15. Volume 63 | Issue 05 | May 2024
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.11401839
ISSN: 0363-8057 97 www.gradiva.it
sense of empathy. Students feel a personal connection to those suffering and are driven by a
desire to help and show solidarity. Buheji and Ahmed (2024)
Many students view the Palestinian struggle as part of a broader global movement for
justice, aligning it with other social justice causes such as Black Lives Matter. This is an
important factor that makes sense of their level of sacrifice. This intersectional approach
strengthens their resolve to act in solidarity with oppressed communities worldwide.
Since Higher Education Institutes (HEI’s) in the West especially encourage critical
thinking and awareness of global issues, courses on Middle Eastern politics, international
relations, and human rights have inspired many students to engage deeply with the Palestinian
cause. Besides, being part of activist groups and networks, such as Students for Justice in
Palestine (SJP), provides a supportive community that reinforces their commitment and offers
resources and platforms for activism. The university setting, with its emphasis on debate,
critical inquiry, and social responsibility, provides a fertile ground for activism. Academic
discussions and campus events focused on the Palestinian issue can inspire students to take
action. Buheji and Ahmed (2017)
The other factor that amplified Gen Z's willingness to sacrifice for the pro-Palestine
movement was the social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, which played
a crucial role in spreading awareness and mobilizing action. Viral content, hashtags like
FreePalestine, and real-time updates from conflict zones make the issues more immediate and
compelling. Students often turn to alternative media sources for perspectives they feel are
underrepresented in mainstream media, further informing and solidifying their views on the
conflict. The other factor that resonates with the Gen-Z are the cultural programs and events,
such as Palestinian film festivals, art exhibits, and lectures, which deepen students'
understanding and emotional connection to the cause. Snow et al. (2004)
Many of Pro-Palestine students feel that standing up for Palestinian rights is consistent
with their broader ethical and political beliefs, such as anti-racism, anti-colonialism, and anti-
imperialism. Such commitment provides a sense of purpose and fulfilment, as students feel
they are contributing to a cause larger than themselves and making a meaningful impact on the
world. Buheji (2019)
4.6 Why Pro-Palestine Students/Academics Are Sacrificing Their Future Despite Not
Being Palestinians?
Pro-Palestine students and academics, regardless of their background, are often deeply
motivated by a sense of justice, solidarity, and ethical responsibility. This type of new
generation is willing to risk their academic and professional futures due to their profound
commitment to universal human rights and social justice. They see the Palestinian struggle as
part of a broader fight against oppression, occupation, and apartheid, which resonates with their
ethical and moral beliefs. Their activism is often rooted in a desire to stand against injustice
wherever it occurs. World Socialist Website. (2024)
These students feel a moral obligation to support Palestinians, viewing their plight as
emblematic of broader struggles against colonialism and imperialism. They believe their
privilege or relatively secure position imposes a duty to speak out and act in solidarity with less
fortunate people. They are influenced by educators, peers, and movements that prioritize
standing up for oppressed groups. Universities often provide a fertile ground for being involved
with global issues and the formation of strong ethical convictions to other fellow humans.
16. Volume 63 | Issue 05 | May 2024
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.11401839
ISSN: 0363-8057 98 www.gradiva.it
For some students, supporting the Palestinian cause is intertwined with their own
personal or political identities. This could be influenced by their own experiences with
discrimination or oppression or by their political beliefs that advocate for anti-imperialism,
anti-racism, and anti-colonialism. This is especially true in an increasingly connected world,
and information about global injustices is more accessible. This global awareness fosters a
sense of responsibility and urgency to act on behalf of those who are suffering.
Historical figures like Nelson Mandela, and contemporary movements for social justice,
provide inspirational examples of how individuals and groups have successfully fought against
oppressive regimes. These examples serve as a reminder that significant change often requires
sacrifice and courage.
In certain universities, such as the University of Columbia, the academic curricula might
include studies of colonialism, human rights, and international relations, often exposing
students to the complexities and injustices of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This educational
background can inspire students to become active advocates for change.
Deep-seated moral and ethical beliefs compel many students to act. They may believe
that remaining silent or passive in the face of what they perceive as injustice is morally
unacceptable. Their actions are a reflection of their commitment to their values, even at the
cost of personal and professional risks. Besides, the influence of broader social movements,
such as the global BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement, provides a framework
and support network for students. Being part of a larger movement can amplify their Impact
and provide a sense of community and purpose. Buheji (2019)
5.0 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
5.1 The Depth of the Students' Sacrifice and its Impact on the Future of Pro-Palestine
Pro-Palestine student protesters make significant sacrifices, including facing academic
and career repercussions, social isolation, financial and legal risks, and emotional and
psychological impacts. Despite these challenges, their commitment to activism reflects a strong
dedication to their beliefs, though it can influence their future opportunities and overall
wellbeing.
The willingness of pro-Palestine student protesters to sacrifice and risk their futures is
rooted in a complex interplay of justice, empathy, solidarity, political awareness, media
influence, educational environment, and personal values. These factors collectively inspire a
profound commitment to the Palestinian cause, driving students to engage in activism despite
the potential consequences.
Pro-Palestine students’ sacrifices are fuelled by a combination of ethical convictions,
solidarity with the oppressed, educational influences, and a commitment to social justice.
Despite the potential risks to their futures, they are driven by a profound sense of responsibility
to stand against what they perceive as grave injustices. Their activism exemplifies the power
of global awareness and the enduring Impact of solidarity in the fight for human rights.
Pro-Palestine student protesters face a wide range of pressures that impact various aspects
of their lives. These include institutional pressures such as disciplinary actions and
administrative pushback, social and peer pressures leading to isolation and harassment, career
and professional challenges, family and community pressures, internal psychological struggles,

ISSN: 0363-8057 99 www.gradiva.it
and legal and financial risks. Despite these significant challenges, many students remain
committed to their activism, driven by a deep sense of justice, empathy, and solidarity.
The formula of change is inherently tied to the demand for sacrifice. Generation Z's
commitment to social justice, particularly in the context of the Palestinian cause, exemplifies
how awareness, moral conviction, activism, and personal sacrifice converge to drive
movements for change. Their actions are about opposing injustice and building a future aligned
with their ethical values and beliefs. Despite the personal costs, this relentless pursuit of justice
underscores the transformative potential of a generation determined to make a difference.
5.2 Realising the Depth of ProPalestine (Academics' Sacrifice) need more dedicated
Research
The sacrifices made by the professors worldwide for the cause of Gaza is a clear
indication of how the human sacrifices by the people of Gaza can have a meaningful impact on
intellectuals such as academicians. History shows that when these academics start to move, the
opinions of the public shake up with these intellectuals, and they start searching for the truth.
The sacrifices made by the professors would have an impact on the unresolved issues faced by
the citizens of the occupied territories of Palestine. It would surely move the waters in the future
towards more FreePalestine policies or at least policies that would shift from the current bias
from the occupying forces led by Israel. The authors recommend conducting further research
in this line of study. Scholars Against the War on Palestine (2024), Times of Israel (2024),
Times of India. (2024), World Socialist Website. (2024), Toloudis, N. (2008).
5.3 Realising ProPalestine Students' Personal Motivations and Visualisation Using the
(Formula of Change)
A significant portion of Generation Z believes that the resolution to the conflict requires
the disappearance of the State of Israel, with support for Palestinian resistance growing. This
shift in beliefs has alarmed the ruling elite in the USA, as it contrasts sharply with traditional
Western views. Such change surely would be faced by US, Israel and their allies through
counter-change strategies. Therefore, Gen-Z pro-Palestine protesters need not only to depend
on empathetic motivation for supporting FreePalestine, but also an effective strategy for both
creating change and managing the change to overcome the coming counter-change by Pro-
Israel allies. Buheji (2018)
The well know Formula of change says, Change = Pain x Vision x First Steps of Change,
or shortly C=P x V x F. This means the amount of pain represented through the level of sacrifice
is not enough to bring the change; it needs to be accompanied by the management of vision
and planned change management processes in the next three to five years. Only through this
would the sacrifice bring further effect and would sustain. This needs to be kept in mind by
every Pro-Palestine Encampment Protest leader on every campus, who is expected to make a
network of exchanges about the progress of this change process to mitigate risks of counter-
change. Buheji (2018)
5.4 Mitigation the Psychological Risks on ProPalestine Students through Keeping the
‘Sense of Community Support’ and the ‘Value of Sacrifice’
The emotional and psychological impacts on pro-Palestine students engaged in activism
are multifaceted. While they may experience significant stress, anxiety, and emotional fatigue,
they also find empowerment, hope, and a strong sense of community. Balancing these impacts
is crucial for sustaining long-term engagement and maintaining personal wellbeing. Support
18. Volume 63 | Issue 05 | May 2024
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.11401839
ISSN: 0363-8057 100 www.gradiva.it
systems, self-care practices, and mental health resources are essential to help these students
navigate their activism's emotional and psychological challenges. Buheji (2020a)
The sense of community would start once someone participated in the street protests and
then join the university sit-ins; they would actively participate more in demonstrations to voice
their opposition to injustices. Then, they would call for divestment from companies and
institutions that support oppressive regimes, using economic pressure as a tool for change.
Here, these students can start to visualise parallels of change through other historical
movements, such as the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa; thus, they start to recognize
the power of persistent activism and international solidarity.
Engagement in activism can also foster a strong sense of community and solidarity.
Connecting with like-minded individuals provides emotional support and reduces feelings of
isolation. The shared goal of fighting for justice has created strong bonds among activists,
contributing to a supportive network that helps mitigate some of the negative psychological
impacts.
Part of the mitigation strategy for avoiding psychological risks and building a further
collective sense of community is to appreciate the value of the sacrifice these Gen-Z Pro-
Palestine Students have made and its impact on the world. One can reflect this value by the
constructs of the following formula that carries lots of meanings:
a) The outcome of Sacrifice (in short- and long-term)
b) Perceived Likelihood of Palestine Achievements due to this sacrifice
In relevance to:
c) Time that would show the Change Done due to this sacrifice
d) Further Sacrifice Efforts are needed to bring major FreePalestine Achievements.
i.e. Value of Sacrifice = (a x b) / (c x d)
This simply means that those Pro-Palestine Protesters started what is called by the change
experts the butterfly effect, and no human power can stop this change.
If the sacrificing students realise this, they will be engulfed with a shield that will prevent
them from ‘resilience fatigue’.
The momentum for change is fuelled by peer influence, with peer students encouraging
each other to join the cause and stand up for their beliefs. This cross-cultural solidarity extends
beyond cultural and religious lines, with even Jewish students joining the protests against the
policies of the Israeli government. History will judge the level of importance of such sacrifices
to the betterment of the world, but for sure, these students and academics know they are creating
this history.
