| Description |
"In this paper, through analyzing Shafak's Honor, I will argue the factors behind the practice of honor killing. Most of the time, especially in the West, religion, specifically Islam, is wrongly described as the sole factor behind the practice of honor killing. ... There are other factors behind honor killings, such as the social pressure of the areas where men are forced [in]to committing such crimes, the patriarchal mindset in which men conceive that it is their right to control women, and lastly, the conflict Muslim migrants face in adopting the new values of their host countries." |
