However, it the stereotypes of the Arab American is addressed, it will make the transition to understanding

In addition, there are those who are being persecuted for their religious beliefs. When Islam gained control of Saudi Arabia thirteen hundred years ago, all Christians were expelled from the country. The nation considers itself the guardian of Islam’s Holiest sites and all other religions are forbidden. Since the death of King Fahd Bin Abdul-Aziz in August 2005 and subsequent election of King Abdullah, there have been increased discussions of reform in Saudi Arabia. However, attacks against Christians and human rights abuses have in fact been on the rise since King Abdullah came into power. The country continues to have one of the worst human rights

Discrimination plays a wide role in Saudi Arabia and it is extremely high and need to be brought up so that the violence that is being done to the women out there can come in control.

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.

Saudi Arabia has recently been making reformist noises lately about women rights. Although women in Saudi Arabia are still unable to vote, drive, or marry non-Saudi men, they are slowly moving towards equality, just like American women had to do. Although almost half of Saudi Arabian people are women, women are not treated like equals. The differences in the two cultures are extreme.

The media is not the only key in creating stereotypes; you’ll find examples in many different types of American literature, also. The negative stereotypes about Arabs spill over into the textbooks used in American schools and are taught in the education system. The education programs imprint young children with numerous negative images of Arabs. Another form of literature, novels, also perpetuates stereotypes by romanticizing Arabs as dressing in flowing robes, striving against desert hardships, and being surrounded by submissive females. Others novels have portrayed Arabs as evil and corrupt; some portray them as terrorists and murderers. These distortions of the Arab people, in literature have created a general mistrust and dislike for Arabs among Americans.

Located along the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, is a country by the name of Saudi Arabia, the Middle East’s largest country. Saudi Arabia is officially known as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Given the title “the birthplace of Islam”, makes Saudi Arabia highly respected in the Middle East and in many other Muslim countries and communities.

Amid of the everchanging history of our world, the culture of a country must be understood. Perhaps what defies culture, and what influences culture to change throughout history. Within a group of people, characteristics is what defies culture. Multiple things can defy a country’s culture such as: ideas, behaviors, customs, beliefs, and traditions that country which is passed from generation to generation. As the world is continuously changing, culture changes along with is. It has evolved due to changes of people’s beliefs, thoughts of the future and advancement of technology.

Until what point can faith and beliefs dictate what is right or wrong? Practicing a religion can provide emotional well-being, happiness and guiding; however, in some cases religion can have a negative effect in a society because it can be used to justify violence or social inequalities. One of the most controversial religion is the Islam because it has many interpretations that can lead to power abuse and manipulation for personal interests. Moreover, Saudi Arabia is considered the birthplace of Islam, where Muslims practice what is known as Wahhabi Islam, which is also highly controversial and criticized by western cultures because of its extreme regime and promotion of violence. “The kingdom of Saudi Arabia is the most conservative Muslim country in the world, and it is mired in 13th century ideals.” (video) Now, the kingdom is going through a transition state, which has trapped the country in a conflict between cultural development and religion ancestral traditions, which has specially affect women in many aspects.
