A Research Report On Saudi Arabia

A country without customs and traditions is not a rich country. It is important to each country to have its own customs and traditions.The customs and traditions each country has are own particular way of having weddings. Saudi Arabia and the United States both have unique customs and traditions when it comes to weddings. Both countries celebration with music, cake, and guests; however, the twee countries different when it comes to choosing spouses, ceremonies, and the receptions.

In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is the largest arid country (Al-Ibrahim, 1991). The country covers some 80 percent of the Arabian Peninsula (Al-Hamzi, 1992). The area of Saudi Arabia is 2.25 million square kilometers, equivalent (1.4) million square miles (Batayneh, 2012). The total number population in Saudi Arabia is 25.7 million (Al-Shayaa et al., 2012). Saudi Arabia climate is broiling in the summer and chilly in the winter, and Saudi Arabia does not have well-defined season. In addition, Saudi Arabia is waterless country, and it does not have rivers or lakes (Al-Shayaa et al., 2012).

The enemy at the gate is not Russia, it's the Wahhabi's of Saudi Arabia. Those of us who comprehend the intrecit relations among foreign States, are well aware that Prime Minister Cameron is beating the drum of fear when he mentions the Russian Federation. God forbid, the Russian's exert themselves in Ukraine, and some of the other former Soviet Republics. Never mind the fact that the British and Americans continually interfere in the foreign affairs of sovereign nations, and overthrow democratically elected governments who refuse to serve as puppets to the globalists. Countless examples of this exist, including the overthrow of PM Mossadegh of Iran in 1953, as a direct result of the Iranians nationalizing the oil companies.

At the end of this essay, it is needed to say that Saudi Arabia and United State of America are different in many things such as tourism, social life and the educational process. In short, culture affects our way of living, thinking, and behaving. Also, it controls our relationship with God, family, friends, and the whole society. Saudi Arabia and the United States have two different cultures. Saudis and American have different life style, habits, and behavior. These differences sometimes lead to conflicts, misunderstanding, and misinterpretation. I think people has to be aware of culture differences and try to be more open mind and accept others the way they are. Finally, if you’re not sure how to be polite in someone else’s culture,

The Middle East is by no means a westernized area of the world; however there are staple factors that make it seem “democratized.” Its legitimacy weary, the Middle East is fantastic at growing its governments based on the Medina Constitution. However, there is one particular area of the world that is both deeply religiously rooted and contemporary at the same time. Saudi Arabia has created the impossible through economic, political, and social legitimacy that not only defies western ideology but is accepted as the most modern version of the Middle East using their economic and religious legitimacy. It can be described as a single tribe full of all chiefs and no Indians and as seen as any other Arab country, only

There is an extreme male dominance over the women of Saudi Arabia. The men control the women in government, in education, in society, and even in their own homes. A vast majority of women fight for their rights to break free. The Saudi Arabian women’s restrictions need to be changed before the men overpower the women, which can wistfully turn to domestic abuse or even the women become rebellious and break traditions set out for them.

The Saudi government has used criminal charges of apostasy and blasphemy to suppress discussion and debate and silence dissidents. Promoters of political and human rights reforms, and those seeking to debate the role of religion to the state, its laws, and society, typically have been the targets of such charges.

Developing countries are faced with many different difficulties when trying to become self-sustainable. One factor that can push success in your favor is have a supply of natural, obtainable resources. Countries with larger amounts of natural resources are more successful economically and face fewer difficulties when developing than those who are not.

Every nation has its own unique individual identity. For many of these areas, their current condition is a blend between history and tradition. Saudi Arabia, like many others, is a perfect example of a kingdom influenced heavily by its experiences, and is also known to grow on a basis of tradition. In fact, Saudi Arabia is specifically known to adhere to one specific aspect: religion. It can be seen that this kingdom has intertwined culture and religion to dictate the rules and regulations of its people. This, in turn, navigates the political system; which ultimately results in an impact on the behavior or social construction of the populase there. For instance, a contemporary issue that is heatedly in discussion currently is about the rights of women in this kingdom.

It would be hard for the US to give more assistance to Saudi Arabia as they commit these atrocities without actually dropping the bombs themselves: the Saudis are using cluster munitions (banned by treaty in the vast majority of countries around the world) supplied to them by United States defense contractors. They’re dropping those bombs using American-made fighter jets. The US military, far from being a neutral observer, is actively providing the Saudis with intelligence and logistical assistance for their air strikes. And the US is finalizing a deal to give even more weapons to the Saudis. The Obama administration has already sold them more than $90bn of military weapons over the past five years.

My father is Saudi and my mother is Egyptian. Living in Saudi Arabia as a Saudi with an Egyptian mother made people treat me as a second-class citizen. I was always “The Egyptian” in Saudi and when I used to go to Egypt I was treated as “The Saudi”. Therefore, I never felt that I belonged in any of the two countries. Because of the hierarchy of nationalities that Saudi Arabia has being Saudi-Egyptian opened a lot of gates to me in terms of meeting people. As Saudis formed groups of friends that are only Saudi I did the opposite. In school most of my friends were internationals. When I came to the US my friends were from all nationalities and races. I am able to connect with people faster and I understood that there’s nothing as a flawless culture.

With the introduction of the internet news consumption and peoples news consumption has changed significantly, as well as the way in which news organizations provide content to the public. The author of this study seeks to investigate the consumption methods of individuals, and compare the rate at which news is collected through the traditional print-based medium, and also the new online format. In order to do this they use the incredibly popular CNN.com as well as www.nytimes.com and their print-based counter parts to investigate determinants of international news reporting.

Although rocky at times the U.S. relationship with Saudi Arabia is extremely important aspect in U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia is a major power player within the Middle East due to its massive oil reserves and direct influence on Islam throughout the region. Various culture aspects of Saudi Arabia, its spread of Wahhabism and allegations of terrorist links has led to Saudi Arabia being under direct fire on the international stage. Scott Shane, author of the New York times article Saudi and Extremism: ‘Both the Arsonist and the Firefighter’ uses the phrases ‘arsonist and firefighter’ to draw a connection to the idea that the Saudi’s past and present actions are a direct source to the current problems that the country faces. The Saudi’s secular teachings of Islam, alleged indirect funding of terrorism and spread of anti- western teachings around the Middle East are the highlighted points to what Shane believes makes the Saudi’s arsonist in the region. Moreover, to the same point the Saudi govt. and high-ranking officials attempt to combat the very things that there kingdom has either directly or indirectly contributed towards making them ‘firefighters’. In contrast the counter argument that Saudi Arabia is neither the ‘arsonist nor firefighter’ can be developed due to the limited direct linkage of Saudi Arabia both abroad and in the Middle East.

Women’s rights have been a very controversial topic in the world for a long time and it still is today. We as people living in the United States do not really think about it as much seeing as it is not that big of a problem in the United States anymore. The thing we fail to think about most of the time is what is happening in other countries. All over the world there are still countries today where women have little to no rights and say in their own lives. In Saudi Arabia women have very little say on anything in their lives, this has been an issue for a long time and has been approached many times but has never really gone away.

The past studies have determined that culture change has a great impact on journalism all over the world. Along with culture impacts is culture change, and how that influences the journalistic environment of a particular area. Culture change, as defined by Pearson’s Third Edition on Cultural Anthropology, changes in people’s ways of life over time by both internal and external forces. (Bonvillian 490) One of the most significant changes to the Western World in the current era is the invention and expansion of social media. Social media allows people to have instant communication with anyone from anywhere in the world, sharing ideas, pictures, video and even news. Modern events can be heard about from those who witnessed them and posted on social media before a news source is even on site. A team of researchers conducted a study on Popular Culture and Communication Practice that traced the evolution and changes in journalism based on culture, communication and media changes. “Most research on popular culture address fiction, television, and forms of expression that aim at entertaining an audience” (Buhmann 8) However, this study goes in depth on the impacts of popular culture
