The Difference Between the Arabs and the South and Southeast Asians!

In the post -World War II era, the competition of global supremacy between the superpowers of the time, United States and the Soviet Union resulted in the Cold War. Many countries in the world were pulled into this rivalry including many of the states of the Middle East. Allies against the Soviet Union received substantial quantities of United States aid and were encouraged to purchase weapons of Western means. Those who were in opposition to the United States’ power received economic and military assistance from the Soviet Union. The United States were inclined to view the rivalry between them and the Soviet Union as a vie for global supremacy. The challenge of attaining democracy in the Middle East has been insufficient leadership specifically in those who shared a common border and were in proximity to the Soviet Union. The United States, in their determination to impede the threat of expansion of the borders of the Soviet Union as well as contain the spread of communion, provided economic and military assistance to keep Iran, Iraq and Turkey politically stable. Although this was the goal of the United States, they actually impeded the democracy and political stability of these countries through its persistent influence in government affairs, determining its future’s livelihood.

A connection I saw through this was the difference between a normal map of our countries and contents to this one. The differences were very clear and made me wonder. As a noticed this I saw that the smaller countries that were not as populated were in the shape and same spot as Africa. The larger countries that I am used to seeing in the same spot shifted to different parts of the map. Unlike, a normal map China, Indonesia, Russia, India, and the United States had a star next to them to show that these were some of the more settled areas. Well, I saw a ton of differences as I explained I also saw some similarities such as all the countries were labeled and there were still blue to represent the bodies of water that remain around them.

Over the past decade, the Middle East has proven to be a complex quandary that the United States is ultimately unequipped to handle. Before the U.S. can possibly pacify the region, it must first work to conquer obstacles domestically. The U.S. should also recognize the source of conflict in the Middle East and use this knowledge in the future as a foundation for a solution to amity. Thus, the approach that the United States should employ in regards to the Middle East is to gradually pull out and become a more self-sustaining nation. However, the U.S. should actively participate in global meetings with other countries as well. This proposal will prove to be the most advantageous solution for both the U.S. and the Middle East.

Many people in the world today get confused on the differences between cultural and religious terms, and while there are a lot of different terms, confusion comes in when people begin to define these terms through stereotyping or the association fallacy. The association fallacy is a type of hasty generalization used when a claim is made by associating something with an irrelevant element. For example, stating because a person is both an Arab and Muslim, then all Arabs are Muslim is an association fallacy. Ignorance of the true definitions of the terms Arabs and Muslims is hard for the people who belong to those cultures or religions. In today’s politically correct society, this is a major problem for Muslims who are frequently called Arabs and vice versa leading to bigotry and hatred. The differences between Arabs and Muslims is so large, in fact, it is mind-boggling so many individuals confuse the two.

The Middle East has always been an extremely restless region. Throughout its whole history, this region was shaken by various wars and conflicts. The beginning of the 20th century can be considered one of the most significant points in the history of this area.

The history of the influence of the economic factors of the discord and collaboration in the Middle East can be divided into two periods: pre-WW1 and post-WW1.

The Middle East region is one that is rich in natural resources, yet suffers many conflicts withing the recent years. Most of the the struggled faced by the Middle East region relates to the Arab Nationalism and Zionism movements. These movements have had a lasting impact on the way Arabs view non-Arabs and how their region is meant to be governed. Arab nationalism is the movement in which some nations in the Middle East region believed that there should be one state that unites the nation instead of seperate countries as they shared a common culture, language and history. They believed that living in a non-united states is threatning to the naturally resource rich region to outside influence as the arab nationalism movement was against western or influence. The Arab nationalism movement was more prevelant in Egypt while the similar wave isn’t present in th monarch of Saudi Arabia.

While the rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union was the driving force behind the two powers’ interests in the Middle East, both had their own specific agendas, which need to be realized before focusing in on the rivalry itself. The Soviet Union had major

The objective of this paper is to analyse the less appreciated problems faced by SAARC in promoting intraregional trade and investment. It peeps into the reasons that explain the low level of intraregional trade flows which are not accommodated for in a pure economic theoretic approach.

Section 3 discusses the growing importance of global value chains and the infeasibility of trade between member states therein. Section 4 states how the sectional interest groups try to influence the trade ties among countries by forming lobbies to hinder movement of goods and to maintain their market share. The paper primarily looks into Indo-Pak trade

This region has an ancient and fascinating history that dates back to archaic times. It has generally been considered a major centre of international trade and cultural development. However in recent times this region has been home to different conflicts that have divided the world to the point that Western countries are now weary and extremely cautious when engaging with this area. Nevertheless when the Middle East is analasyed in order to explain the current situation there is a lack of focus on the external factors that have shaped and developed the region to its modern form.

The cultural differences within our society of today occur more often than one would believe. Cultural differences occur due to how we were raised and the beliefs we were instilled with.
