True beauty is skin deep

Sarah Elgohary Sensation and perception Dr. Ploran My Reaction to the Strabismus Surgery debate People know that it is wrong to judge a book by its cover, but people always do it anyway. Why is that? There is a saying which I believe that says that “True beauty is only skin deep.” If true beauty is only skin deep is truly the case, in our society. Then, why is an individual’s appearance the first thing that people will judge about individuals, when we first meet them without getting to know the personalities of individuals. The reason that people who have Strabismus get the surgery to fix the alignment of their eyes is our society’s instinct to immediately judge people only by their appearance is Even though, people say that getting the surgery is more about fixing the eyes, so people with Strabismus can function better in our society. The surgery is about cosmetics not functionality. People can pretend to be a generous society who is not prejudice on an individual appearance, but we all know that is a lie. I believe that individual people are not as judgmental about foreign individuals (Italian, French, Chinese, people all the time. On the other hand, society as a whole is very discriminating against people who are different from them in American culture. After all, if people with Strabismus always felt acceptance by society as a whole, they would never feel the need to get the surgery in the first place. The problem is that people with Strabismus never feel accepted by society, so they get the surgery to fit in with the rest of society as well as function in it.

  Islamophobia Adds to he Syrian Refugee Crisis  Racism has been reflected in discriminatory laws, practices, and actions (including violence) against racial or ethnic groups throughout the history of the United States. Since the early colonial era, White Americans have generally enjoyed legally or socially-sanctioned privileges and rights that have been denied to members of various ethnic or minority groups. European Americans have enjoyed advantages in matters of citizenship, criminal procedure, education, immigration, land acquisition, and voting rights. Before 1865, most African Americans were enslaved; since the abolition of slavery, they have faced severe restrictions on their political, social, and economic freedoms. Native Americans have suffered genocide, forced removals, and massacres, and they continue to face discrimination. European Americans, Hispanics, Middle Eastern, and Asian Americans, along with Pacific Islanders, have also been the victims of discrimination...

 your passion intact while improving clarity, structure, and impact: --- # **Stop the Genocide in Palestine** The world must wake up to the genocide happening in Palestine. Israel is not the victim in this conflict—the Palestinian people are suffering daily under occupation, oppression, and relentless attacks. Yet, the media distorts the truth, painting Palestinians as terrorists while portraying Israel as the oppressed. This pattern reflects a larger issue: the media's reluctance to show the suffering of non-white populations and its role in reinforcing racist stereotypes. The media rarely gives full coverage to the struggles of marginalized communities—whether Native Americans, Chinese, Italian immigrants, African Americans, people with disabilities, or women, especially Muslim women. Stories of oppression and resistance from these groups are often ignored, manipulated, or framed in ways that dehumanize them. This systemic bias allows injustices, like the current massacre in Pale...

 Educational Inequality for Refugees and Orphans in Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Sudan: A Sociological Imagination Perspective  Introduction Education is a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of any developed society. Yet, for millions of displaced children around the world—especially refugees and orphans in Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Sudan—this right is consistently denied. These children face complex, intersecting barriers that prevent them from accessing quality education. Sociologist C. Wright Mills’ concept of the sociological imagination provides a critical framework for understanding how personal hardships—such as a child not attending school—are deeply connected to larger social forces like war, poverty, systemic racism, and political neglect. Thesis: Through the lens of the sociological imagination, we can better understand the educational inequalities faced by refugees and orphans in the Middle East and North Africa by examining how structural factors suc...
