Jahar
is the younger brother of the two Boston Marathon Blasts suspects. He was
immigrated to USA as refuges when he was 8
years old (Yahoo news, 2013a). His uncle said his nephews had brought shame up
his family and Chechen country after the blasts. The uncle said “They do not
deserve to live on this earth.”(Bloomberg TV. 2013a) His aunt would not believe
what they had done (Bloomberg TV. 2013b). The old brother of the blasts
suspects had said "I do not have a single American friend" (Independent,
2013). His mother said that her oldest son embraced Islam but never spoke of
anything extreme (Drash W., Basu M. and Watkins T. 2013). An expert on the
international terrorist believed the brothers were not affiliated with
professional terrorist (Yahoo news, 2013b). A question is why those brothers were "So sad" (a co-worker of my work place used the words)? Jahar currently registered as a university student with the $2,500 of the
city scholarship reward. Why would he do such a “messed up thing" (Drash W., Basu M. and Watkins
T. 2013) that caused three dead and more than 140 injured who would live the
rest of their life in a disabled way. I asked myself questions about why this happened, and felt sadness towards them
the same time. I would think how we would had supported them the way that would
have prevented such a thing? This is a big question. I agree with the expert that the problem would be in their development process (Yahoo news, 2013b).
There are about 195 different countries exist in the
world. The world is being globalized. Every year, million people immigrate to USA
and make USA
diversity in all facets: culture, religion belief, nationally, economic class,
and race. What could we support family from around the world? If I had a child in my class whose family is from Chechnya, I would search their
values and view of the world. I would ask: what are they proud of, what do they root on, what would they like to dress on, and what would they like to eat. What would the family like to
celebrate during special days? I would put pictures that represent the Chechnya country on the wall of classroom; I would put dresses and kitchen stuff that
represent the Chechnya culture in the dramatically center so that all children
would learn the country. I would put books that introduce the country of
Chechnya in the library center. I would read the books to children at circle time. I would ask family to bring in their family photos and display the photos in the classroom. I would help
the family feel their culture is welcomed and embraced, and their root is proud and would not be disgraced in the classroom. I would like to all things that help
children lean how diverse our county is and how should we respect each other.
In memory of the dead in Boston Marathon Blasts.
