I have been wanting to broaden my knowledge and experiences beyond Latin America and Azerbaijan presents the type of non-Euro centric opportunity I desire. During my graduate studies, I am focusing on post-Soviet countries and Azerbaijan to present a fascinating case study. The country and its people have flourished compared to other former-Soviet states, with Baku developing into a world-class city. Azerbaijani is also spoken in Iran and Dagestan, and I want to learn more about these countries and how the language shapes their citizens’ lives.

Linguistic discrimination is an important issue; many have been discriminated and excluded from the public sphere due to their disability to practice the standardized language. In the Arab world, when second language speakers try to talk Arabic, they seem to have difficulties with the pronunciations. Consequently, this leads to limitations during the blending in procedures. The explanation

Before we identify a few biases associated with the Middle Eastern population, we must first familiarize ourselves with several characteristics of their culture and linguistics.

Being born into a Persian household was such an exceptional privilege I had, in which today I am extremely grateful for. From the profound history to the intrinsic culture, having a Persian background opened doors to endless pleasures. Yet, it was not too long when I started school and experienced

Additionally, on page 104 of our textbook, it states that Arab Americans “believe in a more collectivist orientation” (Manning 104). Individuals tend to take care of themselves. The Arab culture is also male dominated and majority of Arabs are Muslims. Arab-American students could explain to their classmates their traditions or customs. They could explain their restricted diets or women who wear Hijabs, could explain the significance of them.

"I never had a traditional education as a Muslim. In the Arab world, Islamic culture and Arab culture are the same. It's a cultural situation, not a religious situation." (Hadid 1995)

Culture is a very significant attribute of human experience determining to a large extend the way people relate with others within their environment. According to Mahfouz (2011), culture is also important not just for managing the way understand and relate with each other but also as a form of identification giving people a sense of belonging and identity. The human race is highly cultured with many different people preferring to lead their lives based on traditions defined within their cultures and in order to understand human behavior and relationship, it is important to ensure that this issue is well understood and appreciated. This brief paper discusses the effect that culture has on how people relate with each other and how different cultures provide different avenues of expression that make life easier or harder for those that relate with them. I will use my personal experience of my Arabic culture to provide insights about the issues that culture influences in human relations.

Ms. Rana Nejem discusses cultural intelligence and achieving a better understanding of other cultures, specifically Arab's culture. Arab countries are unfortunately commonly associated with ISIS and the issues of poverty and extreme wealth. Ms. Rana Nejam's purpose is to explain how this is grossly inept at representing true Arab culture. America has only been reporting the negatives and misfortunes of these countries, while omitting the positive growth and economic improvement that Arab countries have been experiencing.

A long-term goal I had was to learn to read and write in Dari-one of the national languages of Afghanistan. Dari is my first language, however I was never educated on how to read and write in the language. Moreover, in the summer of freshman year I realized that I was missing out on so much Afghan poetry and literature-a huge part of Afghan culture. The first thing I did was look to the Afghan community, but the only functioning Afghan community centers are in Virginia and California, and for a kid from Illinois that wasn't a realistic option. The next thing I did was look online and I ended up finding a YouTube channel on how to learn Dari. The channel's videos allowed me to learn more vocabulary as well as the necessary alphabet and grammar.

Arabic, a once dominant language, is starting to take a back seat to English because of accessibility and communication on the internet. Instead of accepting diversity and the fact that English has a place in the Arab speaking world; many officials are discouraging the use of English and forcing Fusha Arabic on the public at a young age. This is an absurd effort from the government, as Arabic has influenced many other languages including English words such as admiral and scarlet. Arabic is also not a completely original language as it has had languages, such as Latin, influence much of the Arabic vocabulary. Instead of embracing the diversity and unifying the Arab world, the higher beings reject the language, causing much tension between the government and its citizens.

The boy in Araby is insanely in love with Mangan’s sister which eventually leads to frustration, isolation, and the loss of faith. This boy follows the girl’s every move, though he has never spoke to her. The crush he has for her is more of an obsession. “Her image accompanied me in places the most hostile to romance” (Joyce 258). This quote symbolizes how much of his faith is in this girl, even though he hardly knows her his hopes are high for her. This girl is his focus, someone he will always think about. All the boy can do is to think about her constantly, no matter where he goes. The girl eventually speaks to him, he becomes lost and forgets the words to say to her. The girl is unable to attend the bazaar, so he promises to bring her

Languages form an essential part of every human experience. To express oneself is one of the simplest joys we can experience. English and Music are two such languages in my life, that indirectly relate to, have a profound impact on mine. My interests in Music, just as in Literature, extend to a wide array of genres, whether it be Bob Dylan or Tchaikovsky. After relentless perseverance at the age of 16, My father bought me a black dreadnought. I spent hours upon hours practicing by watching instructional videos and my favorite guitar players play. In no time I was playing shows, from winning school competitions to performing at live music theatre events. I had soon established a name for myself as a singer-songwriter by being a supporting act for many bands. I soon began recording my rendition of songs on my laptop, eventually writing my own music and now working on my album. This has proved to be a huge learning curve, in enabling me to understand the dynamics of a composition, Thereby continually improving myself. In my spare time, I have been teaching English to Arab students. It has been a remarkably challenging experience. I have learned far more teaching than I had as a student, in trying to articulate my thoughts in words they could understand. This has been a humbling and rewarding experience. I realize there remains a vast ocean of knowledge I am still unaware of, which empowers me to thrive and work hard in an undergraduate environment.

For the purpose of this assignment I chose Feruza, an Eritrean high school graduate. She was born and raised in Eritrea and came to live in Jeddah only five years ago. She studied English in an elementary school in Eritrea and continued studying it in an Eritrean International High School. She is not happy at all with what she has learnt during those years. She explained that during her elementary school years her teachers heavily focused on writing while neglecting speaking. When she continued her learning process here in Jeddah, her high school teachers focused only on speaking but not at the level she was expecting.
