disagree about this campaign which can cause ethnic problems.

A Muslim primary school teacher has lost her bid to overturn a law banning the wearing of religious clothing by public servants

Demographic imperative - a muslim living in a different country,which is dominated by
another religion, could have her religion changed in order to fit in the new society. This could then result in demographic changes.
Self awareness- in the view of a muslim living in another country then realizing that her
original cultures/religious practices were different from ones of the country she was living at the moment
Ethical imperative- everyone should have the right/freedom to practice their
religions/beliefs no matter where they are
Peace - the difference between religious can lead to conflict

Red Shirt V Yellow Shirt: Thailand’s political struggle
Peace Imperative - is all about the conflict, and this situation is all about the protest in Thailand. Yellow shirt is the representative of people who support the king while the red one stands for some people who don’t want to be monarchy. Then, there are conflicts between two groups of people. Moreover, in this situation, there were a lot of people get injured and died.
Self-awareness Imperative - These people, yellow shirt, are protecting the king and value monarch. They maintain the monarchy, but people will have conflict because in the society there is always have a conflict like a coin that always has two sides. In this case, yellow shirt people are trying to protect the king and let other know that king is important.
Peace imperative is part of Thai politics because the politics in Thailand causes a lot of fights and arguments and in order to solve the fights, peace imperative is an important factor in order to solve the problems.Self awareness is also an important imperative as both opposing parties want the local population to support their side, in order to let the population decide which side is supports which person (red or yellow) self awareness is important. This
process can be done by carrying out rallies, campaigns, strikes and other ways to let people be aware about it.

Phase 1

1 Christmas

- Peace imperative- Christians around the world are showing love and care to other people around them and it is time for family and friends to spend time together.

- Demographic- Even though a lot of people celebrate Christmas majority of

people that celebrate this event are Christians.

2 People move

-Economic- People move in the city for making money as there is a less economic opportunity in the village

-Demographic and self-awareness- Because they are starting to lose their village culture and family value

3 Inviting official

-Economic- To prevent a secret deal on dining tables.

-Demographic-  It differs between each country in Thailand we would view it as a kind of respect toward people who are superior to us.

Phase 2

Backlash over Quran distribution campaign in Germany

Peace imperative - Giving away of free copies of the Quran is conceivable that they are possibly want to share the knowledge of the Quran because the book was involved with religion, it called ‘a present from the Muslims to their neighbors’, which means that they are showing love and care to people in major cities.

Demographic- By giving away the Quran in a Christian based community it is showing the value of the melting pot.

Muslim teacher loses her bid on religious clothing ban from a public servant.

- Peace&demographic- State acts as a melting pot by abandon religions, it helps to create harmony among the people but it needs to be fair to every religion.

Redshirt vs yellow

-Demographic&peace- By protesting it is a path to express their political values even though it destroys the harmony of people, but once people learned about human right and accept the differences between each other there will be a true peace.

Quran distribution campaign in Germany
Peace imperative

It is a religious conflict because it is stated in the article that there was a distribution of Quran during the Christian holiday of easter and also attracts media attention, implying that there is a prejudice against Islam. Also, it depends on the individual point of view as some may find it disrespectful to promote Islam to counter other religions especially during easter

Demographic imperative

Germany is a common religion in Germany assuming from the media attention received. The attention is expected especially when majority of the people support Christianity as some may find it anger-triggering for other religion to be promoted during their special occasion.

Self-awareness imperative

Religion may be voluntarily or involuntarily so it is important to know one’s values and principles. Religion is another factor that contributes to the principle of oneself and for the distribution of Quran to attracts media attention is because German are against the sudden action. It is because they strongly believe in Christianity and Easter to find the distribution of Quran disrespectful.

Teachers wearing headscarf
Peace imperative

As wearing the headscarf is referred to muslim which leads it to be considered as a religious conflict because there is an argument whether that the teachers should be wearing Hijab or not.

Demographic imperative

As Christianity is the major religion in Germany, therefore; the majority tends to support their own beliefs or religion, not the Islam. Additionally, they were born seeing blonde or white people teaching them so that having or being taught by someone wearing Hijab might be something that people are not used to.

Red shirt VS Yellow Shirt
Demographic imperative

It is categorized as village culture because different parties financially aid different towns and regions. People in that particular town will, therefore, have a mindset that s/he should support the party that is beneficial and/or emotionally connect with them.

Peace imperative

It is a political conflict that cause the protest between the supporters of two different parties. It disrupts national security, especially its citizens, through violence over the intention to publicly express one’s principles or persuade others to think the same way.

Self-awareness imperative

Before the election, the parties will publicly promote their campaign which helps with the awareness of supporters’ principles and allow them to identify with the parties. If the supporters strongly connect with a party’s values and goal, then they may act in a violent manner.

DISCUSSION ABOUT THE IMPERATIVES

The Peace, The Ethical and The Demographic Imperatives.

The Demographic: When people having different beliefs and ideas come together, their ideas create conflicts in that region.

The Ethical: It is unethical to kill and injure people around. Bring the government down can be done peacefully a well. By hurting people, it is not morally correct.

The Peace: Finally, it boils down to the Peace Imperative, because the outcome shatters the peace of the entire country.

It is imperative to educate people about protests but moreover, promoting cultural diversity. This will increase the level of acceptance in the public.

Economic/ Peace/ Ethical Imperative: Once people have a conflict in the institution, they will try to solve the problem in order to get rid of the problems. In fact, they try to change the value of the institute. However, they do not do it right in this story which leads to more problems. In order to bring peace back to the institute, they have to bring peace back which they did not do it. They also ignore the human right in this case because they decided to clear the group of people by killing them.

1. Ethical imperative: the way violence is used to deal with the protesters is
unethical.
2. The security have their right to keep the situation in the right tract but there can be many others way that could keep the peace among the protesters which would not leads to many injuries and death.

Siripitch Sangsairoj 6180055

1. Peace Imperatives: The protest has lead to peace disruption with thousands who were injured and some who lost their lives. It is a serious issue that should be dealt with consideration, patience, and peace.

2. Ethical Imperatives: It is ethically wrong to deal with a country's political situation with violence; humanity was being ignored and people are being selfish and have forgotten that everyone has the right to believe in what they want to. Everyone can be different and people should not judge or discriminate others with different feelings towards something as subjective as a political election.

3. Economic Imperatives/Demographic Imperatives: The protest initiated from the economic conditions in Bangkok. Furthermore, it has been proved clear from the actions that the government has not supported Thailand's education enough, otherwise there would have not been a protest on the streets. Villagers who live in areas that are less civilised may not have direct education support from the government compared to people living in the cities. With different demographic backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses comes with different political views as the needs and agenda will be different.

4. Self-awareness Imperatives: People in different regions may be reinforced and support each other's beliefs of who they should elect, however, when they come to face a different region they may not have thought that others would think differently and become unaware of the other options available.

DISCUSSION ABOUT THE IMPERATIVES

Abhishet Varama, 6180514

Phoom Imruangsri, 6180533

The Peace Imperative: Conflicts May arise due to the differences between the two religions. Since Christians are a majority in Germany, this may be a big threat to Ibrahim Abou Nagie and his campaigns.

A cultural/social exchange should be promoted between the two groups. This can reduce religious conflicts. One way of doing this is by educating people through campaigns.

Ngo Nguyen Ngoc Minh 6180225
Benyaporn Yoosuk  6180522

MitziJoyce Mayor 6180516

Ethical/ Peace Imperative: The smaller group, in this article, is the Muslims is trying to integrate or penetrate the larger and dominant religion in Germany, which is Christianity. Both of these religions have a strong identity and are known to oppose each other beliefs. Therefore, this initial act of the Quran distribution can be seen as a threat to the Christians in Germany and may cause conflicts. In addition, the distribution of the Quran is done during the Christian holiday of Easter which can set further disputes between these religions mentioned.

Duangjai Busayaratanakul 6180231
Chalisa Saencharoen 6180709

1. Ethical imperative: It's wrong to intrude one’s right to believe.
2. People should blending into the society they’re living and make all the same in the community. However, it’s a personal right to wearing veils. People should respect others as who they are, accept differences and not discriminate.

Siripitch Sangsairoj 6180055
Tan

1. Peace Imperatives: Distributing the Quran during an important Christianity holiday could potentially cause conflicts between the dominant religion (Christianity) and the Muslims.

2. Demographic Imperatives: As Muslims have a strong negative stereotype of being associated with "Salafists" or in other words terrorists, Germany may not support the Quran distribution as there is a main religion of Christianity. In addition to that, there could be children who are intrigued into the religion and they do not want any demographic shifts within religions.

3. Ethical Imperatives: People should have the right to believe and worship what they want without having a conflict with others. It is clear in the article that the Quran was purposely distributed in the main/densely populated areas of Germany, therefore, it is ethically wrong to interrupt an important Christian event; this can also be seen as not respecting the religion boundaries.

DISCUSSION ABOUT THE IMPERATIVES

Abhishet Varama, 6180514

Phoom Imruangsri, 6180533

The Peace Imperative and The Ethical Imperative:

Peace Imperative: By restricting and not allowing Muslims to dress the way they are, it will offend them. This may create religious conflicts.

Ethical Imperative: The woman losing the case to wear the headscarf in class seems unethical and will offend the entire community.

Ethical feelings are innate and come to people naturally. A cultural/social exchange might help but at last, it depends on people and their humility.

Ngo Nguyen Ngoc Minh 6180225
Benyaporn Yoosuk  6180522
MitziJoyce Mayor 6180516

Ethical imperative: Women, as teachers are losing their rights to wear religious clothing, in this case, is the headscarf in school. As a result, this may trigger many Muslims as the hijabs worn by women are used to maintain modesty and privacy from unrelated males. In our opinion, the movement of banning religious clothing is in contradictory to its intentions, which is to promote neutrality.

Duangjai Busayaratanakul  6180231
Chalisa Saencharoen  6180709

1. Ethical imperative: They disturb the celebration of the Christian which is not
the right thing to do because it’s disrespectful.

Peace: The action stir religious conflicts, frictions, and bickering among
community.
2. In our opinion, we should encourage the cultural exchange since every religion teach people to be a good person. People should open up and take in his perspective. However, he better doing any other kind of activity not the disrespect activity like this will stir the conflict between religion.

Siripitch Sangsairoj 6180055
Naran Kongpithaksilp (Tan) 6180233

1. Ethical Imperatives: As Germany has a rather secular culture, it is preferred that Muslims don't wear their headscarves. However, by forcing the teacher to remove her headscarf, which the headscarf is accepted and believed that is right to be worn in many countries, it has created conflict as this may have offended many Muslims as well as losing the neutrality within Germany. Instead, they should find neutrality within the diversity and accept cultural differences.

2. Peace Imperatives/Demographic Imperatives: There could be major conflicts among the religions as there is a larger population of Christians in Germany compared to Muslims. Due to the demographic reasons, it could be unaccepted to wear the headscarf as there is a fewer population of Muslims and Christianity is more dominant.

Natthanicha Olanvanich 6180270
Sasirada Kaewjangwad 6181387

peace: It engages with religious conflict according to the fact that the teacher is Muslim which is the smaller religious group than the majority. People still separate ones that have a different identity from themselves because they don’t feel like they’re one. They attach more to their identity than the fact that they’re all same human who deserves the same right.

demographics: cultural conflicts/melting pot

ethical: both sides thoughts
