Religions that continue to employ animal sacrifice in contemporary society, however, have been met with great consternation and legal resistance, inasmuch as people all over the world are evolving to such a point that sacrificial ceremonies are no longer considered to be a universally accepted practice.

textbooks teach that Iranians are only in the

Iranians outside of Iran, and there is no mention
of a single female role model. However in folklore

vase. If the vase is a globe, they become a globe;
if the vase is long-necked, they become long-
necked.'' Resolving this duality, or living within
it, is the challenge presented to Iranians who are
now living within the United States.
