1. Before class starts, the professor says.
"You can't pray in this class."
2. A child goes to sleep hungry because the parents have no money for food.
3. A student receives a poor education and is rejected for every job for which she applies.
4. A man is stopped before boarding an airplane and strip-searched because he has an
Arab-sounding name and a stamp on his passport indicating that he has been to Iraq in the past year.
5. A Spanish-speaking student speaks Spanish to another student. The dean of students says that only English can be spoken on campus.
6. A woman is ill and is turned away from a hospital because she does not have health insurance or the money to pay her medical bill.
7. A homeless man asks for money from people passing by, but people do not give him any money.
8. A Muslim student wears a hijab (head scarf) to class. The teacher tells her to remove it during class, as there is a rule against hats or other head coverings in the building.
9. A family moves to the United States from a country where it is part of the culture for the wife to stay at home and take care of the household. The husband comes home from work and finds that his wife has not done the laundry or cooked dinner. He disciplines her by striking her three times, the usual method of discipline in their culture.
b. Did you find any human rights in conflict within any of the above examples? What should be done when this occurs?
