Ethnic Identity, Multiculturalism, and Their Interrelationships: Differences between Jewish and Arab Students

Abstract

The complex [Cu(en) 2 (H 2 O)](sy) 2 (en)(H 2 O) 2 has been synthesized and characterized by its electronic and vibrational spectra. The molecular structure of the complex has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with unit-cell parameters a = 10.7236 (5), b = 20.4660(10), c = 14.4523(11)Å and Z = 4. In the cation, the Cu(II) ion has a distorted square pyramidal coordination with two bidendate (en) ligands forming the basal plane and a H 2 O molecule in the apical position. The complex cations and syringate anions constitute chains along the b axis in -A-B-A-fashion. The members of the chains are linked by through N-H···O hydrogen bonds. The (en) molecules are responsible for connecting adjacent layers.

Perceptions of Violent National-Political Protest among Arabs Living in Israel: A Pilot Study

“…Feelings of discrimination, which have also been found in other studies focusing on ALI (Daoud et al, 2018), represent a threat to group identity because they imply devaluation of the group that feels it (Hen et al, 2016). The rejection-identification model (Branscombe et al, 1999) and the social identity theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1986) support this finding and suggest that perceived discrimination leads to consequences, including feeling rejected by society, strong identification with the in-group, increased in-group cohesion and a decreased sense of belonging to society as a whole (Berry & Hou, 2017).…”
