Immersion can be based on sending people to new environments to learn a thing
Immersion learning is a process where one is exposed to new surrounding for new studies. Immersion is putting oneself in a particular group to understand the particular confines of the said group. One has to get out of their comfort zone and try to learn the various things going on. One might have to go to a group of people that they are not part of, to at least try and find out exactly what makes them pop out and what they feel about specific things, are they neglected in a certain way, what is their everyday routine, And most importantly is to try and see if the stereotypes are true. We all have thoughts of something, so what are they true or false.
Immersion can be based on sending people to new environments to learn a thing or two. Work immersion makes one broaden their understandings of the people around them and explaining how things are. The main aim is to see how the world lives and how other people live. In some cases, people are sent to native areas to study them. Immersion can be done to study language, religion and lifestyle in general. Immersion is used to get to feel the world as it is.
Islam, as we know, is the second-largest religion in the world after Christianity. It is a minority in several countries, including the united states. This is the third largest religion in the united states, which covers up to 0.8% of the population in total. This, therefore, makes a minority and they also have been divided into three further units, that is the Sunnism, Shi’ism, and the no-denominational Muslims. They are several diverse groups of Muslims from various diverse groups in the world.
Muslims came to the united states in various ways. Some came as slaves from Africa and were subjected to slavery and plantations in the 19th century. Each Muslim in the states has a story of how they got into the land where dreams come true. All came to the states of one reason or the other, but most importantly, they came for the experience of being an American and feeling good for what being an American is.
When a study was done in 2017 by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, has shown that various Muslims have the same level of education as the average American. They are considered as a minority, and as such, this comes with its challenges. The challenges are being able to get all the resources equally. In this minority, there is also a further minority, that is the Islam Women. The Islam women are the community I would like to be immersed into to know how it feels and the various factors an ordeal that go into a Muslim woman. By being immersed, I will learn and try to understand their environment in order to move forward.
One of the tools and text that have governed Islam’s’ and their religionist their holy book, that is the Qur’an. This text has specifications on how a woman should live; therefore, I would like to be in this group, to know if they follow strictly to what is stipulated or it is just a formality. If they follow, I would also like to know what exactly goes on and what is the expectation in society and what society considers to be unacceptable. The women, in Islam also have a particular way of dressing that is another case I will handle and get to know if everybody should be dressed in that particular way. Women also have needs and what do I slam has to say about this. What are some of the rules that ought to be followed by your average Muslim? What are the rules on marriage?
For this, therefore, before going into the immersion process, one has to prepare questions of all sorts and know what they could mean when asking them. In preparation, I will learn how to interact with them and prepare questions beforehand. One should also learn how and what one will act appropriately. One should not just go in without knowing how the other party will be if they are welcoming. The number of questions will be many, but it is important to focus on the critical ones. Before all this, it is important to seek for approval, because it will be needed for the study.
There are various ways in which one can be immersed, one of the ways and places to do so, is being immersed in their school work or even business. For this it is important to select a group of women that involves all these, an ideal group would be a group of women that would include a schoolgirl, a religious woman, a non-religious one, a married one and one who has been established. To find out about the hardships, one would go to where they reside and their businesses and ask all the relevant questions. Some of the questions one will answer themselves through observations. It is important to follow the various experiences and know where to stop. These all go into the preparation.
The people I would interact with are all the women one meets in a normal basis, could even be at the mosques, and ask them if it is ok, if you join in for the study. By staying with them all day, there are things one can do, one of them being handy and being helpful, helping in the day to day activities without interrupting or correcting, even when something is wrong or does not seem right. The things that should stand out are things they are doing contrary to what is done, and how they spend their time. As one of the activities, one should be involved in all the activities they do. Before attending this test, one should have an open mind and be free to learn anything. Therefore one has to not have a particular set of thoughts before going in.
The diversity, in this case, is doing the contrary to one’s thoughts, one has to learn to moderate themselves and learn to always know what to do in each new case. In class, we were given what to do when a point, contrary to what is known comes up. We should be open for anything and understand and learn to enjoy the diversity spectrum. In class, therefore, the things that should be talked about are the things that stood out and probably did not make sense. Some of the things that should be brought are what the women think of themselves and believe their role is. This a great study that will ensure I have learnt a lot in the community and being able to share to the class concerning the same. The data should not be judged and should be brought as it is, eliminating the obvious bits. It is a period to learn why people behave a certain way; therefore, one should know what exactly one should ask. Some of the questions that should be asked are among what specie role do the particular public figures play and what some other figures in the Qur’an mean to them. Most importantly, it would be important to understand and get to know what are some of the things men do that women do not and what do women do that the women do not.
