Beginning in 2011 as peaceful protests during the Arab Spring, the conflict rapidly escalated into a protracted civil war shaped by authoritarian repression, sectarianism, foreign intervention, and economic collapse. More than a decade later, Syria remains devastated, with millions displaced internally a...

 Education is meant to foster reasoning, communication, and meaningful engagement with society. Yet only 65 percent of students with disabilities graduate from high school, compared to 86 percent of students without disabilities. This gap reflects systemic inequities that persist despite legal protections such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which mandates appropriate accommodations and support. In practice, however, many disabled students continue to face barriers caused by insufficient resources, limited teacher training, and institutional bias. A significant issue impacting the disability community is disproportionately in special education. Disproportionately refers to the over representation of certain racial and socioeconomic groups in special education programs. Research shows that students of color and students from low-income backgrounds are more likely to be labeled with disabilities and placed in restrictive educational settings. Rather than re...

 One of the most significant contributors to educational inequality is the concept of tracking. Tracking is an educational system that determines where students are placed during their secondary school years (Burris, 2008, p. 45). In some cases, tracking begins as early as kindergarten through IQ tests and early achievement assessments. Once students are placed into a particular track, this placement often determines their educational path for the entirety of their twelve years of schooling. From a Marxist perspective, tracking functions as a mechanism that reproduces class inequality by preparing students for predetermined positions within the capitalist labor system. Karl Marx argued that social institutions, including education, serve the interests of the ruling class by reproducing existing class relations. Tracking sorts students in ways that mirror economic class divisions, ensuring that working-class and poor students are funneled into lower tracks that prepare them for low-...

 ICNA Council for Social Justice Team, My name is Sarah Elgohary, and I am a passionate writer and dedicated advocate for social justice. My work focuses on pressing humanitarian issues, including the ongoing crises in Palestine, Syria, and Sudan, as well as the challenges faced by refugees, people with disabilities, and other marginalized communities. I was deeply inspired by your organization’s mission and the powerful message behind “Advocacy and Justice for All.” Your work—particularly your article “Let Gaza Live”—resonated with me profoundly. I firmly believe that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, and that all people deserve dignity, equality, and the opportunity to have their voices heard. As someone who lives with cerebral palsy, I understand firsthand the importance of representation and advocacy. My disability has shaped my perspective with empathy, resilience, and determination, motivating me to speak up for those whose voices are too often overlooked....

 Shining Star Motivation June 16, 2019 Industrial psychologists study job performance, but beyond that, they analyze the criteria and predictors of work behavior. One powerful predictor that deserves closer attention is intrinsic motivation, particularly in relation to individual self-advocacy. Understanding how intrinsic motivation influences self-advocacy allows psychologists to better predict whether individuals will engage in behaviors that promote justice, inclusion, and personal empowerment within organizations. To explore this relationship, it is important to define both concepts. Intrinsic motivation refers to behaviors driven by internal factors, such as personal values, interests, beliefs, and life experiences. These motivations arise from within the individual rather than from external rewards or pressures. Self-advocacy, on the other hand, consists of actions that allow individuals to speak up for themselves, express their needs, and stand up for what they believe in. A...

 Educational Inequality: A Question of Justice, Not Charity By Sarah Elgohary Education is often praised as the pathway to opportunity and empowerment. In theory, it allows individuals to think critically, develop their potential, and contribute meaningfully to society. Yet in practice, access to quality education in the United States remains deeply unequal. For many poor, minority, and disabled students, education is not a ladder out of inequality but another system that reinforces it. Educational inequality is not accidental. It is the result of social structures and policy decisions that determine who receives resources and who is left behind. Students in wealthy communities are far more likely to attend well-funded schools with small class sizes, advanced coursework, counselors, and extracurricular opportunities. Meanwhile, students in low-income and minority communities often attend overcrowded schools that lack basic resources. These disparities shape life chances long before...
