Egyptian Culture

The cultural differences between the United States and Egypt are high in numbers. Before traveling to Egypt and meeting with potential business leaders, many things must be taken into consideration. There are some things that we as Americans do and say that is considered normal in the U.S. but would be considered abnormal or rude in Egypt. The first step that would have to be taken is to establish a good relationship with my potential Egyptian business leaders.

There were up to 2,000 ‘gods and goddesses’ which controlled every aspect of the Egyptians lives.

What affected the egyptians environment? This is the main idea that we will be looking into. There were many things that affected where the egyptians lived and their culture. They had to face many difficulties, but there were three things that I am certain affected their lives the most. The topics that I believe are the most important are: the papyrus plant, the desert, and the inundation. These three topics are very essential because without each one of them, life for the egyptians would be no more than being born and waiting to die.

Ancient Egypt was a captivating and intricate civilization. Over the years, historians have found it easier to study this civilization, rather than other historical civilizations, because the Egyptians went through great lengths to record their history. Besides being decent record keepers, they were very religious, and “ahead of their time,” due to their technological and economic breakthroughs. Because of the aspects of this culture, it has to be one of the greatest civilizations of the world.

Amongst the turbid and dysfunction that is the Middle East lies the nation of Egypt. Egypt, a major country of the Middle East, is habitually considered stereotypical of Middle Eastern civilization, but further research guides one to the conclusion that Egypt is far from a generic Middle Eastern country. Egypt has a strong tradition of nationalism that has been formed during its history, giving it a national unity that is often non-existent in other Middle Eastern nations (1). This, as well as other advantages that Egypt has gained during its past, has allowed it to rise above the problems plaguing the rest of the Middle East and to form basically its

Over the last several thousand years, dozens of great civilizations have risen from nothing and fallen back into obscurity. Not all civilizations, however, leave a lasting mark on the world, especially not one so profound that influences the world as it exists today.

Imagine yourself on a bridge, hanging over a highway. You’re watching the cars speeding by at 50, 60, 70 miles per hour. Got it? Now, picture each of those cars as a yellow, spotted cat, taking bounds that exceed 25 feet. This cat, the cheetah, along with two others, the lion and leopard, have been with us since the beginning. They each have unique characteristics that neither of the two have. They eat similar diets, but have different ways of getting it, with strategy, stealth, and speed.

Why should anyone care about some vicious beasts? I think that it is important
