This article analyses the different approaches used by President Barack Obama on his

conspiratorial views towards religion, race, and religion. It onwards researches on the inclement

of the idea that Obama was a Muslim and non-citizen of America.

This article helps in the understanding of the position of people thought to among the

Othered groups and the perception of the larger American society towards them. The article will

be informative in the essay since Obama has an African origin whereby Africans are among the

Othered group in the US.

This article analyses the presence of networking leaning community environment for

different members in the community. The article theorizes the underpinning causes of the issue

of Othering in the communities. The article discusses different complexities when learners

communities. These learners may find it difficult in adapting to a new environment and survival

due to conflicts and the need for survival. I think that this article is significantly important to my

essay since it is highly informative on different adaptation approaches of Othered groups.
