Pakastanian Women
After viewing the film "Purdha" in class, I found many different types of positions, issues, and interests for three sides of the problem: the men of the rural Pakistani villages, the women of those villages, and the western world's point of view. A position is when someone says what they want An issue is a question which defines dispute, and an interest is parties desired goals. After viewing this film, I also had a lot of anger built up inside of me to see how the women are treated over there; however, I will not be discussing my anger, but only my response to the abuse the women go through because of Pakistan people's beliefs.The problem with this issue is that hundreds of women are killed and burned each year.

She also doesn't want her families to hate her or kill her. The interests of the American people are to try to understand why women are treated so low in Pakistan. Americans believe that they are human beings just like us and they shouldn't be treated like dirt. They belief that it is unfair and the abuse should stop. The men's position's with this problem are to kill their wives, burn them, and beat them if they even think they are having outside relations with another man.
