The Influences of US Double Standard in Human Rights on Present World

The Influences of US Double Standard in Human Rights on Present World
As a
Full Metal Jacket


Introduction
In terms of foreign policy, exceptionalism in the post-cold war era has created some troubling dilemmas:
First: the selection multilateralism as an option in foreign policy, not an
Obligation.
Second: it has second dilemma is that exceptionalism as a key concept in American cultural studies that means, "American exceptionalism has been historically referred to as the perception that the United States differs qualitatively from other developed nations, because of its unique origins, national credo, historical evolution, and distinctive political and religious institutions"1, as you know, may bread arrogance, because it been constantly repeated to the inhabitations of the US.
Third: is that exceptionalism may encourage the view that the ends are more important the means, which in turn many promote hypocrisy and double standards.
Lipset as an American exceptionalism expert has said: "In a country that stresses success above all , people are led to feel that the most important thing is to wine the game , regardless of the methods employed in doing so such as Guantanamo By and Abu- Guriab.
When "Amnesty International" in May 2005 access the us of " serious human rights violation " because of Guantanamo prison, vice- president Dick Cheney expressed his disbelief that the United states could be described as a violator of human rights, as though such a charge was simply unthinkable". (These cases is selected of class argument by Dr. Saeedeabadi)
After this summery , I want to start my main argument about US Double Standard policy in human rights especially after that president Bush took power in the Republican Party of the US. In this way, I want to describe the image of American pro- human rights in the media around the world. In fact, I want to present two different images of American political activities through warfare photographers that crystallize the reality of wars. My data in this analysis is the image of American soldier that embraces an wounded Iraqi child in the battlefield that is as American gift to Iraqi children.

Iraq Abuses as a End of American Narrative

Most of the Guantanamo prisoners were and also are deprived of their nature rights and the order and law of Geneva Conventions were not executed about them.
The Bush administration says that those men were all combatant, but has refused to treat them as the laws of require.
"Under the Geneva Conventions, combatants captured in an international conflict must be treated as prisoners of war unless and until a ‘‘competent tribunal determines that a specific prisoner is not entitled to that status. The U.S. government chose not to convene such tribunals for the Afghanistan war captives even though it has routinely convened them in past hostilities ".2
But, the United States said that no number of the Taliban group was entitled to POW and most experts in international law opposite with this claim and found it as a untenable speech.
And in other war that means Iraq war the United States insisted that no members of Al Qaeda deserved Geneva Conventions protection.
Some of these Guantanamo detainees were released but hundreds remain for long time and held without charges.
It seems good that is talked about three categories of Prisoners at Guantanamo are unlawfully and untenably detained:

"1. The first group is Taliban soldiers. In the war between Afghanistan and America, the Geneva Conventions permitted the United States to hold as prisoners without charges members of the Taliban government's armed forces. But that war ended in June when the Hamid Karzai government assumed power in Kabul. The laws of war do not permit the continued detention of those soldiers unless they are being prosecuted for war crimes or other offenses. They should be released and repatriated. 2. The second group consists of civilians who — according to news reports quoting unnamed U.S. intelligence officials — were mistakenly sent to Guantánamo. The laws of war permit the internment of civilians in a war only when such detention is imperative for security reasons. If there are indeed civilians at Guantánamo who have no connection to the Taliban or Al Qaeda and who are not being prosecuted, they too must be released. 3. At least some suspected Al Qaeda members apprehended far from Afghanistan may have been brought to Guantánamo. Six, for example, were picked up in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The laws of war do not apply to persons who were not captured on a battlefield and who have no direct connection to an armed conflict ".3
President George W. Bush has repeatedly said that the war against terrorism is a war of values. This speech has published by President Gorge W. Bush as starter of Middle East wars, in the time that all of people around the world observe the manifest breaking of human rights even rights of nonmillitaies and also without any anxiety and worry about is result.
"The mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners by US soldiers was an inevitable outcome of the United States' long-term exertion of hegemony and power politics in the world," said Dong Yunhu, vice-chairman and secretary-general of the China Society for Human Rights Studies.

"Human Rights" as an objective concept conflict with the principle of moral autonomy, and from an excuse and hegemony justification for oppression. Any oppression and interference to other people can be justified by claiming that it is necessary and useful to respect and establish certain rights and in other word , " Human Rights" even the other people don't want it. This is as a gift that it wasn't asked for that.
The things that west especially the United States thinks that is owner of them, similar to Democracy, Liberty and other things ; they are seen as a gift as I said , which the west must bring to the rest of the world that again named " threat" with out any logical reason.
In contrast with the policy - Double standard – that American governors and administration in different times confirm and follow them, it must be said universal human rights and sovereignty that is collected by way of military intervention or each kind of intervention which is a kind of intervention in countries internal affairs, are two separate issues. But this was and also is the standard view among foreign policy elites that it is possible to believe in universal human rights, but also in national sovereignty.
But it is clear to all that a justification of intervention does not logically follow from human rights, even if those rights are violated. The superpowers in the world use of various propaganda ; for example there is the assertion that military intervention is necessary in the face of clear human rights violations that is a kind of emotional propaganda. Some of the events are very clear and don't need to more than explanation; for instance, the children that were death because of ethnical disputes around the world for example in Bosnia , this is wrong and it doesn't need to read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that has said:

" Free and equal personhood: all human beings are born free and equal.
Equal dignity: free and equal in dignity, free and equal in dignity.
Equal creation or endowment: they are endowed with reason and conscience.
Equal brotherhood: a spirit of brotherhood.
Human agency: endowed with reason and conscience". (Ignatieff, 2001, 6)4 to know it is wrong.
Even, in one country will be observed some behaviors as the torture that it's automatically reason of intervention such as military intervention and each of these countries including the US owns that entitlement.
Each area needs to separate moral justification. I should add it that human rights interventionism is in any case historically recent.
"Human rights may be universal, but support for coercive enforcement of their norms will never be universal. Because interventions will lack full legitimacy, they will have to be limited and partial, and as a result, they will be only partially successful". (Ignatieff, 2001, 43)5

Conclusion
It must be said, in media age that world goes toward "dual-globalization" and that divides to two parts: one is real world and two is virtual worlds. The role of media as a tool of virtual world is very important and also, the role of cinema is more important too. Cinema with its instruments and opportunities justifies and also establishes an other invention that named: post- colonialism and in present time, all of the social scientists should study on this field around the world especially social scientists in third world. This method and way is best one to know American empire that grows more and more.
"American human rights policy in the last twenty years and in beginning of twenty-first century is increasingly distinctive and paradoxical: it is the product of a nation with a great national rights tradition that leads the world in denouncing the human rights violations of others but refuses to ratify key international rights convention itself. The most important resistance to the domestic application of international rights norms comes not from rogue states outside the western tradition or Islam Asian societies. It comes in fact; from within the heart of the western rights tradition itself, from a nation that, in linking rights to popular sovereignty, opposes international human rights oversight as an infringement on its democracy". (Ignatieff, 2001, 93)
Finally, I should say that world society especially super powers that in present day is only includes one country that means the United States of America needs to stop thinking of human rights as trumps and being thinking of them as a language that creates the basis for deliberation.

celebration

4th July Celebration
This year marks 233 years since American founding gave them the National Birth Certificate.
Only July 2, 1776 congress voted to approve a complete separation from Great Britain. Two days after wards -4th July- the early draft of the Declaration of Independence was signed, albeit by only two individuals at the time: John Hancock 'president of congress' and Charles Thompson 'secretary of congress.
Four days later' on July 8 members of congress took that document and read it aloud from the steps of Independence Hall' proclaiming it to the city of Philadelphia 'after which the liberty bell was rung.
There is one question:
What was the basis of American Independence?
John Adams said" the general principles on which the fathers achieved Independence were the general of Christianity.
He cautiously noted: this day will be the most member able epic in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebration by anniversary festival.
Also ' John Adams believed that the fourth of July should become a religious holiday a day when we remembered God's hand in deliverance and a day of religious activities when they committed themselves to him in "solemn acts of devotion to God almightily ".
There's no room for doubt! That this dialog _John Adams have had remarkable effectiveness. And brand importance of Independent and importance of religious at it on some bodies' memory.
Toadies 'in US and other countries in each year celebrated 4th July.
Yes' even in other countries that American people live in; such as ' Denmark and south American countries …
And this process shows the importance of this event.
Remarkably ' Oliver stone that who is famous director in American cinema's directed by the movies that named:
"4h July borned"
and in next note 'I describe it _because I very like the movies wourld_and I define this director.
I glad to read their viewpoint.

clash of culture

If ask you about clash of culture what is your answer?
You can think about it for few minuets,
……
It needs to description
Culture Clash is indisputably the premiere Chicano comedy trio in the country. The troupe was inaugurated at La Galeria de la Rasa in 1984.the works focused on theater and especially comedy .this group Founded on May 5th, 1984 (Cinco de Mayo) in San Francisco's Mission District, Culture Clash is Richard Montoya, Ric Salinas and Herbert Siguenza.
This approach to art looks at cultural affairs & various in cultures.
This approach has critical viewpoint to the cultural affairs and addressee miss_ informed of cultures of nations.
At the time a miss informed of a culture may continue for many years and lack of an awareness reference is a great danger for human history.
In this way, I can refer to a reputation example in science history that perhaps you hear things about it:
Who does say the" Earth is spherical"?
In this approach, there are many view, the Muslims were the first groups that said it.
Because there are many biases against Muslims, a large number of Scientifics don't accept this thrust.
In here, I can speak about one of them:
Richard Pearle argued that Muslims had said that the earth is flat, although many of experts reject his approach.
One of them is" George Galloway".
He says: "the audacity of Richard Pearle to suggest that Muslims believe in a flat Earth, when the Europeans were torturing Galileo for suggesting the Earth was spherical, the Muslim scientists already knew that the Earth was spherical."
It is only one example about misunderstood of many cultures that in world wild uncounted to gather.
And the culture is secure that uses of suitable ways and don't forget present continued in world culture era.

Anti_arabism after September 11 attack

Anti_arabism after September 11 attack

Introduction
When I was very small child and didn't understand completely meaning of colors …my chi dish's mind should understood that red alarm means danger and white alarm means pace but for very short time…
My childhood's years linked with war's years, the years that should linked with light and happiness were the years with silence's hours, because attacks of our neighbor continuously companion in the way with us alike shadow.
After many years when I became bigger than, in beginning of 21st century our neighbor itself breached out in the similar happen that imposed for us.
The war that called "war on terror" and after attack to Afghanistan and following al-Qadir forces all over the world.
This happen was backlash of the US against attack to worldly tradition center in New York in september11, 2001.
The happen that had a bigger than reaction of itself event…
This article considers position of Arabs and Muslims in the US after september11 attack that their ethnic and religious appearance caused damage and harm for them.
In now I have many questions:
1- When does civil connection take place instead racial connection?
2-Does racial intolerance still dominant upon human society?
3-Is it funny to say,"Golobalization" and establishment of worldly village in the time that race and ethnic still are very important?
4- and, Is the reaction of the all nations disproportion and primary as well against such a disaster?

I start my argued with my perspective about race and racism:
I believe that race is a social construction and not universal

Does racial intolerance still dominate upon human society?
And is it Funny to say that concepts alike "globalization" and establish of world village in this that race and ethnic groups still are very important?
And, is the reaction of all nations disproportion and primary as well against such a disaster?
I start my argument with my perspective about race and racism.
I be live that race is a "social construction and not a universal or essential category and of biology race formation has been inherently racist for involves forms of social, economic and political subordination that are lived through the categories and discourses" (barker, 249)
In other hand, "the concept of radicalization refers to those instances where social relations between people have been structured by the signification of human biological characteristics in such a way as to define and construct differentiated social collectivities". (Miles, 75)
And my reason to say that race is a social concept and influenced of political and economic connections is eruditeness that achieve after September 11 attack about hate crime backlash of Arab and Muslims in the United States.
There is great difference between violence data about Arabs and Muslims after and before September 11 attack specially in its united states and I will talk about this data to demonstrate racialization concept in this article. This great difference addresses that social positions stimulate racial emotional.
the violence included murder, physical assaults, arson vandalism of place of worship and other property damage, death threats and public harassment.
Both official and community – based organization and so newspaper talked about the violence after September 11 backlashes in some of states in the US. In here I refer to many official data about it to highlight argument:
1. "The FBI reported that the number of Anti-Arabism and Anti-Muslim hate crimes rose from 28 in 2000 to 481 in 2001, a 17 fold in crease". (www.FBI.gov)
2. "the ADC reported over six hundred Sep 11 – related hate crimes committed against Arabs, Muslims and those perceived to be Arab or Muslim, such as Sikhs and south Asian" (www.adc.org)
3. "CAIR reported one thousand seven hundred and seventeen in cidents of backlash discrimination against Muslims from SP-11 through, February 2002". (www.cair-net.org)
4. "In Chicago the police department reported only for anti – Muslim or anti – Arab hat crimes during the year 2000 :
In the there months of Sep through November 2001, in Chicago county the number of these violences were fifty-one". (www.ci.chi.il.us)
5. "in Los Angeles county, California, there were 12 hate crimes against person of middle Easton descent in the year 2000, compared to 188 such hate crimes in 2001". (humanrelations.co.la.ca.us)
There was the big size of these data in many of county in creasingly, the people was most vulnerable after September 11-related had crimes specially the men who wear turbans and women who wear hijabs.
This contact with women who were hijabs was repeated in other countries in Europe and women who were Muslim encountered with obscene behavior in this period.
The different organizations for example CAIR during this time presented many data about Muslim Americans how Murder duding the years 2000 and 2001.
"In July 2002 CAIR polled 945 Muslim Americans and how September II and its after math affected them. The poll found that 98 percent believed their lives had changed for the worse since September 11". (www.eeoc.gov)
The reasons of this murder are very different that I can not refer to those. And it is proper that many of murderess even after trial pride oneself on themselves. And believe that were hero.

I stand for America all the way! I'm American. Go a head. Arrest me and let those terrorists run wild!
- Frank Roque, after being arrested for murder a Sikh.

After this information about violence growth after Sep11 attack for Arabs and Muslims should discuses this point that there were many stereotypes in American culture about ethnics Specially Arabs and completely aliens those same times shows off.
There are concepts that describe very depth meaning for Example:
1. "Arabs are primitive / dirty
2. Arabs are sub – humans / non – humans
3. Arabs are murderess and terrorists
4. Arabs are brutal
5. Arabs are untrustworthy and treacherous
6. Arabs are fanatics / uncompromising
7. Arabs support terrorism". (www.wikipedia.com)
And Arab Muslims remain a source of anxiety and danger for the U.S state and its political and economic activities at home and around the world". (Slocum, 3)
Once in a while the meaning of Arab Muslims unifies with concept of terrorist with eyes wide closed.
"Renderings of Arab Muslims as "terrorists" can not be understood fully with out considering public de bates about multiculturalism that took place in the U.S in the late 1980s and into the 1990s." (Slocum, 4)
This stereotypes cause that who have come to the U.S seem to have clustered in certain jobs in cluding:
Driving taxi, running gas stations, convenience stores and motels.
And you know that job of every person shows the his/her status and position in social life and more description about this concept isn't necessary for repition.
I go back to major argument:
Then I can discuss the concept to analysis it.
We can use of schama theory for expansion of this argument and to highlight the dark point:
The schema theory has four parts:
1- Early Malad aptive
2- Schema domains
3- coping styles
4- schema modes

In concept of "coping styles" we have three parts:
ØDelivery
ØPause
ØChallenging
The reaction of American people after Sep11 attack was a kind of "challenging" that examples of violences and murders in 2001 and other years address this thrust.
In continue I go back to my primary questions: "Is the reaction of all nations disproportion and primary as well against such a disaster?"
I point to the response this question to connections between Arabs and Persian during the history.
I should say Iran is a multi – ethnic society and Arabs are therefore aone of the ethnic groups that live in Iran.
Persian encountered with Arabs during the Arab entrance to Iran for acceptance of Islam by Persians. In 7th century.
Persian tried to adapt with this culture that entred to their country.
Scientific movements in Iran is an example for it for example "the shu ubiyah movement intended to reassert Iranian identity and resisting attempts to impose Arab culture". (www.wikipedia.com)
Just as was said in later lines I decide to use of schema theory to analysis this argument and this theory was described about American people and in here. I use this theory for Persian.
The connection of Persian and the method for this connection during the history was "pause" while, we have many crash and connection with Arabs during the history but don't resert to violence and vandalism with Arabs. Instead added their cultural elements to our culture without that forgotten our own culture and language and other factors in culture.

Conclusion:
In here, I can answer the questions. The American biased against racial concepts in flounces their socialization.
The socialization that reins forces stereotypes in their mind.
And bout globalization:
The meaning of this concept is widely unilateral. The process that wants to melt the other cultures and nations in itself with protection American culture and reinforcement of its racial identity is a high – time process.
In other hand, to day and after to arise important events in all over the world Arab Americans decided to develop and protect their culture.
we can refer to establish social organization by Arab American women that try to change the image of Arabs in the after math of September 11 attacks.
In present – world that speak about globalization the cultures must make known so for as possible combine them together and with out this process, the concept of Globalization don't have any meaning.
