The Impact of "Judging a Book by its Cover"
As a healthcare provider, I have encountered many patients in my career, and I have
learned to understand and acknowledge different cultures and beliefs. Besides most of the time
appreciate some of those extraneous views. We as humans have assumptions about almost
everything or everyone at one point in our lives. Also, we must take into consideration any
traumas that we may have happened. Like the horrific attack on 9/11. Without any understanding
or knowledge, the Arab/Muslim American community suffers prejudice and aggressiveness. Most Arab/Muslims respect and follow the word of the Qur’an, which is a book
principally, provides guides for many Arab/Muslims. The Hijab (the covering of their hair) is to
maintain modesty and privacy from unrelated males
. The assumption from the Caucasian women
was uneducated and prejudiced. This is established by the impression that all women who
conceal their heads are Muslim, and this is not always the circumstance, as many women from
different religions also cover their heads. Another presumption is that the woman's obligation is
to cover her hair by force. This is constructed on the indication that Arab/Muslim women are
obliged by their faith to attire headscarves. It should be distinguished that several Arab/Muslim
women wear their hijabs willingly. These hypotheses are destructive because they prolong the
myth that all Arab/Muslim women are overpowered by their faith and constrained to hijabs. There are a lot of alternatives within the Muslim community, therefore it's fundamental to
sustain in mind that this is not accurate for completely Muslim women. It's analytical to be aware
of the judgments we create concerning people established just on their appearance if we want to
construct a more inclusive society. To evade generalizing about a complete group of individuals
based on a few externally obvious features, we should try to understand each person as an
individual.

To deliver services in a culturally profound method, we must understand the client's
culture and how it forms their viewpoint and experiences. Correspondingly being able to work
successfully with clients from diverse cultural upbringings, also takes the capability to
familiarize one's cultural views. It's fundamental to be conscious of the various presumptions and
prejudices that Arab/Muslim Americans may confront in society, the same way we are perceived
by others.
