Treatment of MuslimAmericans in Learning
Institutions

Introduction
The incidence of hate crimes and national discourse in the
American culture persist as most Muslim Americans confront
significant challenges
Muslims continue to receive more attention from the social
and political perspective since they encounter significant
discrimination after the September 11 attacks
The Hannah and Adara case study highlights Muslim-American
students’ challenges in learning institutions
Cultural Issue
The 9/11 attacks raised questions about Muslim identities,
integration, education, culture, and religion since the host
population perceives them as outliers
Prejudice towards Muslims and Islamic culture is common in
learning institutions and other areas in the United States
Islamophobia is a significant concern that raises cultural issues
since Muslims are perceived as outsiders
The negative sentiments against Muslims are sustained and are
pervasive in affecting individual development due to the raised
cultural issues
Theoretical Explanation
Theoretical explanation best highlights the relationship between
individuals from different cultural backgrounds
The personality-centered theoretical approach explains
individuals’ different personalities from their dynamic childhood
experiences
The scapegoat theory states that individuals develop a
scapegoat for their frustrations when they cannot respond or
vent their hostility, anger, and frustration to targeted identities
The assimilation theory explains how Muslim immigrants assimilate
into their new cultural backgrounds
Islamophobia and Counseling
Muslims in America have been going through significant and
severe issues, anti-Muslim rhetoric, and discrimination in various
communities
The current case study selected for this research tackles the
challenges of being Muslim in America
Adara is a second-generation Muslim suffering discrimination,
subtle anti-Islamic rhetoric, and abuse from her friends at school.
The challenges have gotten to a degree where she wishes she
was not alive, an issue that shows Hannah how severe the issue is
Alternative Solutions
The main issue in this scenario is the therapist’s dilemma on how
to help the client
The necessary things to consider is being proactive and sensitive
in the approach and ensuring the client is safe
An alternative approach to this situation can be to have the
facts right rather than assuming hypotheses or biases
The therapist’s understanding of how to deal with the situation
Conclusion
Therapists must be thoughtful and pay attention
to ethics since their work needs to be impactful
The counsellor must ensure that there is always a
relationship of mutual trust and confidence.
This article seeks to determine alternative
approaches and recommendations based on
the ethical dilemmas presented in this case
study
Create and record a slide presentation with accompanying spoken narration,
which comprises a comprehensive synthesis of your research and
recommendations concerning ethical and cultural considerations of a case study.
Include a research-based plan to resolve the case.
Introduction
Note: The assessments in this course build upon one another, so you are
strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.
The ability to organize and effectively present information is essential for
securing employment and for effective performance as a professional.
Fundamental skills include both appropriate verbal communication and visual
design using presentation software to convey content to an intended audience.
In this assessment, you will create and record a slideshow with accompanying
spoken narration showcasing the course competencies you achieved and
highlighting your research and writing in this course. This presentation will
comprise a synthesis of the first two course assessments. Guides for verbal
communication, presentation design, and software you can use are linked in the
Resources.
While examining your project components and making decisions about the
essential information that will be presented, we recommended you begin by
creating an outline and comparing it to the Comprehensive Case Presentation
Scoring Guide to ensure you have specifically taken into account and addressed
all of the grading criteria in detail.
This comprehensive presentation will show your development as a psychology
professional. It will demonstrate much more than a cover letter and résumé. You
may use some or all of this presentation for job interviews. It can give prospective
employers the opportunity to see a complete picture of who you are, your
education, your accomplishments, and your skill sets. You may use it to convey
concepts or to illustrate the depth of your skills and experience, or as a tool to get
a second interview.
You will use your research, analysis, writing, and communication skills for this
presentation. This capstone course is designed to allow multiple opportunities for
demonstrating your mastery of the content and the course competencies, which
are also the established program outcomes.
Overview
Note: You must complete Assessments 1 and 2 before beginning this
assessment. As you create your presentation, consider the feedback you
received from your instructor on your Assessments 1 and 2. You may use
information from your Assessments 1 and 2 for your presentation. However, be

Slideshow Instructions
You may use PowerPoint to create this slideshow, or if you wish, you may use
Prezi or some other option. However, PowerPoint is best supported by the
resources provided. You are responsible for making your presentation work.
For each assessment you have written in the course thus far, create 8–10 slides
that provide a high-level explanation or summary. In other words, you should
create a minimum of 16 slides, plus a title slide, introduction slide, conclusion
slide, and references slide. Use a clear and concise structure.
•
•
•
Title slide: On the first slide, enter:
• A brief title of the presentation.
• Your name.
• Course number and title.
• Capella University.
• FlexPath instructor’s name.
Introduction slides: Provide a brief introduction to your presentation.
Describe what you will be discussing in your presentation.
Content slides: Provide a high-level overview of the salient points from
Assessments 1 and 2. While you may use some of your previous work, such as
the research studies, theories, and plans, be sure to revise your work so you
are addressing the criteria for this assessment. You will likely need to revise
your previous work so it flows for your presentation and meets the specific
criteria for the presentation.
• Conclusion slides: Briefly summarize your presentation. Provide a concise
summary about the topics addressed.
• Reference slides: List all references cited in your presentation.
All slides should include detailed presenter notes that include what you will say
for each slide. Some slides may need to include more extensive notes than
others, depending on what you are presenting for that slide. It is recommended
that presenter notes are at least two paragraphs per slide. Please note
that presenter notes explain the slides in more depth and thus should not be
identical to your slides. Be sure to include the kind of detail you would present to
an audience if you were presenting live to a group. You may use information
directly from your previous assessments when writing presenter notes. However,
entries should be edited so they are written as if you are speaking to an audience
or a potential employer, for example. You can utilize the presenter notes when
recording the audio portion of the presentation.
Voice-Over Instructions
Your presentation should include a comprehensive audio voice-over that
presents essential information for each slide. Elements of good spoken delivery
include:
Appropriate volume and clear pronunciation.
• Avoidance of audible fidgeting and distracting interjections.
• A variety of intonation and pacing and appropriate use of pauses.
Important: Before you record your presentation, it is recommended you allow
ample time to practice your presentation until you are comfortable with these
elements.
Note: If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication
methods to participate in these activities, please
contact DisabilityServices@Capella.edu to request accommodations.
Portfolio Prompt: You are encouraged to submit this work to your ePortfolio.
