The three topics I picked are gender, race, and religion. However, my views on these subjects have not changed because I considered myself to be a very open-minded person. After reading "The Berdache Tradition" I learned that the several Native American tribes had a different kind of cultural construction of gender within their group. I was very fond of their origin myth that was about several worlds and crossing over them to find equal ground for everyone. I found this reading to be very interesting because it seems that no one takes the chance to mention the subject of having more than one gender. Usually people are focused on physical differences of sex and the expectations that are associated with gender. The same goes for the group in

Living without loved ones and their precious belongings will make refugees face the point of turning “inside out”. All refugees have lost loved ones and their precious belongings. For many refugees they lose their parent’s or siblings. Some don’t have family there anymore so they lose their belongings that remind them of their home, family, and country.
Starting off, How do refugees find a new home? According to page 105-106 of Inside Out, they must choose which country they want to live in. In some circumstances people choose America, but there are also many other great places like France and Sweden. Once they choose, they are sent to a refugee camp in their chosen country. Here they get food and life supplies. In order to get into a country, however, you must get a passport and maybe even a sponsor that will help you, teach you, and give you some basics for life in the new country.
The life of a refugee is not just a life of trials and ordeals, but also has rewards for those who pushed through the pain.
Picture this: Think about a country where you are born and raised entire life. As part of daily lives, we have to work to feed ourselves as well in order to sustain our daily lives. Likewise, your are life is going pretty well.One day, after your finished work, you came home to eat dinner, take a shower, and then you slept. As tomorrow sun rises, Unfortunately, you heard noises of people shouting and banging at home by saying ”open your door, you have to move another country you can stay anymore here” At this moment, What you do? Where would you go? Emotionally In late 1990, my parent leave Bhutan and then make way to Nepal. Then they start leaving in Bhutanese refugee camp, where I was born.

My own experiences had taught me to be hopeful regardless how desperate thing became.
Refugees do not simply choose to be “refugees.” There are many aspects that go into account when displacement occurs. War is often associated with refugee displacement. Even a simple task of walking in the streets can be dangerous. In an interview with Time magazine, Syrian refugee Faez al Sharaa says that he was held up at gunpoint with three other people in his homeland after soldiers accused him of being a terrorist. "We felt death upon us," Sharaa said (Altman 24). His backyard turned into a battle ground, while young kids were fighting for their lives (Altman 24). War
Refugees share similar experiences and emotions when they move to a new country. The book Inside Out and Back Again splits these feelings into two categories, “inside out” and “back again”. Refugees from around the world experience these feelings. For instance, it is easy for a refugee to feel “inside out” when learning a new language, or they can feel “back again” when they find a familiar object that reminds them of their past. Many refugees mainly struggle with learning a new language, but to make them feel more comfortable, they can find satisfaction in items from their home land.

These two groups are distinctly different but fall ...
Refugees can find supporters to help them through the tough times. “Many of my teachers and classmates were supportive and offered to help me if anyone were to harass me. I feel safe in Nashville. And, mostly, I lead a normal life, like other teenagers. I go to school, hang out with my friends, and spend a lot of time with my family and work part-time” (Faiad; 2).
