you should write a four page essay. You must refer to the covered readings. You may refer to other sources as well but make sure you include them in the references. You can borrow from your discussion posts but not copy paste the exact posts. Your paragraphs should be double-spaced.questions I want answered:How do Arabs see Arabic? What do you know about Arabic as a language?How do men and women interact in Arab culture? What is the status of women in the Arab world? What is your personal opinion on that issue?Arabs might have a different perspective on certain social formalities and etiquette. How do Arabs discuss business? How do they see time and appointments? How important is hospitality for Arabs?What is the general social structure in the Arab countries? Can people change class?Personal questions and sensitive subjects are different from one culture to the other. What are/aren’t considered personal questions for Arabs? What are/aren’t sensitive subjects for Arabs to discuss?Being surrounded by Catholics all my life, including some of my family members, I’m
always wondering how things were different from the Christianity aspect, which I am a
Christian. I have ever wondered if it’s the same beliefs, but just different types of shirts
settings or is it a completely different way of thinking when it comes to the faith. Adding
to my knowledge of the Arabic language, we take a deep dive into chapter 3 of
understanding Arabs sixth edition, a contemporary guide to society. No matter how
knowledgeable you are when it comes to the faith aspect, you won’t ever understand
the difference between another person’s faith in your faith. There will always be
questions that would need to be discussed and answered, and communication
discusses the differences and similarities. There are many different religions out there;
some belief in God; some don’t believe in God; some believe that someone who
oversees them and they’re in control of their lives, and then some people don’t believe
in God at all or don’t have it any faith. Hence, it all depends on the type of person, and
the generation of that person comes up through. The Arabic book and discussion are
how God handles the faith of individuals and controls their destiny. I wish I feel like it’s
very similar to the Christianity faith, and you’re doing everything for Christ. When you
place everything in God and nothing on yourself, that’s viewed as arrogance because
you’re avoiding the responsibility for your actions that you’re taking. People of the
Catholic faith view it as Buffet that God will see you as that they serve is between you
and your control of how you’re viewed. Which is similar to the way Christianity feels. But
on the other hand, there are also things that you cannot control at all, and they’re just
meant to happen, but you have to put all your faith, and those are the times where you
have to drawback to your religion more often than not. Continuing going through chapter
4 and increasing the knowledge and gain from the Arabic language, we discuss
sensitive subjects in Arabic culture conversations. One of the conversations that often
are talked about is non-muslim Westerns. The process they have to take to try to
convert people to Islam. These people are kind of like the people you see in the mall
when you’re walking, and they want to pull you to the side to try to sell you something a
lot of people don’t have the time and generally is just a sensitive topic to talk about. It
takes the best guys to understand how to get the dice rolling and push forward through
the conversation. One way to sell them to convert to Islam is by telling them that you’re
an outstanding member of the religion because many people outside of the nearest
have a Viewpoint that Westerners aren’t very religious people. Like the experiences
that I have had with some of my best friends and even some of my family members,
people of the Catholic faith are always trying to get you to come to their church one day
and see how you like it. And due to the way of life right now, Catholics could expect a
significant increase of members in the Catholic faith because they’re one of the very few
religions that are having Sunday service or any type of service. As I said earlier, many
religions have a lot in common. Still, they little do people know because of the
conversation barrier that we place and the uncomfortable conversations that we have to
increase the knowledge of different religions. And since those conversations don’t
happen, people normally give their perspective or what they think without actually going
to somebody that is apart of that religion and asking questions about it and gaining
knowledge from it. Hopefully, that changes soon we will see.
I feel that while Nydell does point out that Arab’s discussion of religion with non-Muslim
westerners leads to them asking “Why don’t you consider conversion?” I don’t think that
their goal is to convert people to Islam but rather understanding other viewpoints and
why people have different beliefs.
Hi, I agree with Muhammad, you are able to lift some very valid points and interesting
topics that I didn’t include in my discussion post. I feel like you are able to add some
different comparisons and viewpoints that I didn’t even think of. Nydell points out the
discussion of religion with non-westerners it’s a fine line you don’t know what to say and
what not to say but at the same time like in my discussion post I compared them to
when you’re walking in the mall and you got people coming up to trying to sell you
something sometimes you may bites on it sometimes not. I don’t think they’re trying to
change people’s viewpoint I just think they’re trying to add to the number of people that
they have so there considered the dominant religion in the whole world.
This week’s topic was on the importance of the role of the family in Arabic culture. I
think this is something that has been mentioned here and there throughout our past
discussions because it is something you can’t really get around when discussing any
social aspect of ME culture. As discussed in Understanding Arabs by Margaret Nydell,
family is a ginormous part of Arab culture. There is heavy emphasis on connection,
staying in constant communication, etc. There is really no big difference between your
cousin and your siblings. This is also because it is quite common for Arab children to
grow up with their cousins, living in the same house or neighborhood. The obligation to
your family is veryyyy important. There is an unsaid (or sometimes said) obligation to
help your family financially, emotionally, academically, or any way you possibly can. I
grew up knowing that blood is thicker than water. And as much as you fight with your
family or get frustrated with them, that anger is only going to wear off. Something
(somewhat) unrelated is a realization I’ve come to over the last few years: we hurt the
ones we love the most. When I heard this first I didn’t really understand it, but now I
recognize it as something true almost across the board. The ones we love the most/the
ones who love us the most, we take them for granted whether we want to or not.
Because of this, we will typically take our frustration out on them because we are sure
that no matter what they will still be there. I think as close as Arab families seem, they
always have their issues, but it is something you don’t tell other people. The issues you
have with your family are ones that stay there. Another part of why people don’t discuss
family matters with others is in order to save face (as was mentioned in previous
discussions). Furthermore, Arabs are extremely gossipy, so if your business gets out, it
will spread like crazy and before you know it the entire neighborhood will know your
family issues. Another thing I’ve noticed is how different western culture is when it
comes to elderly parents; in the ME (and probably most places in the world) when your
parents can’t live alone anymore or need help doing mundane things, it is almost
obligatory for the parents to move in with one of the kids. I’ve always found it a beautiful
thing that the bond and obligation is so strong that no matter what the child feels the
need and want to have the opportunity to give back as much as they can back to their
parents. Parents do so much for us and the least we can do is take care of them in old
age. Something else the author highlighted was the importance of marriage and input
from the family. If you ask any ME person if they would marry someone if their parents
didn’t approve, I can guarantee that 99.9999% would not. This is yet again because of
the ginormous role that family continues to play after you get married, have kids, etc. In
the chapter, the author says that there isn’t much stigma surrounded by divorce…this
could be true but from my personal experience, something like divorce is a big deal and
typically gets a lot of bad looks. Partly because ME relationships are typically founded
on: do you like the person, is he/she nice, is their family good, do they have the same
morals, can they provide. So divorce would mean major issues.
The video on Moroccan weddings I found quite interesting! I’ve heard of Moroccan
weddings, they’re nothing short of iconic in the ME. However, I thought the wedding
would be much different from Iraqi/Syrian/Lebanese weddings. While they are definitely
not the same, there are aspects that are extremely similar if not identical. For example,
it is common and customary for a bride to get her henna done on her hands and feet.
Also, potentially outfit changes, and parties with only the girls a few nights before
leading up to the wedding. Something I thought was very interesting was the dates and
milk ritual during the wedding. I’d love to some day attend a Moroccan wedding!
Communicating with Arabs Chapter 10 discussion by Jamal Camp
This past week we were allowed to discuss and educate ourselves on the Arabic
language. Chapter 10 talks about the Arabic language as well as communicating
between Arabic people. Progressing through chapter 10, I was very impressed by how
the speech was the fifth most outspoken language globally. Meaning over 400 million
people use Arabic as a speaking language. The Arabic language was discovered in the
Arabian peninsula and happened to be the Semitic languages. Developing my
knowledge for the Arabic language, I found different types of Arabic languages the
modern, former spoken Arabic, and Colloquial Arabic. I wish and high schools I could
say Arabic just because I seem so different from any other language. You know some
people just take languages to take them and say that they can speak that way. But I like
to take it only to communicate if I ever come across a person of Arabic descent. The
classical version of the language it’s probably the most popular, in my opinion, just
because it uses the Qur’an, Which is the Arabic religious text. The full form of the
language is usually for literacy and just an expansion from the classical way.
Last but not least, The form of the language basics of the dialects. Understanding
the language is one thing, but dissecting it is another. The difference between each
language is really the slightest change. The focus in one may differ from the other
because of the shift to euphemisms and certain speech mannerisms. Arabis frequently
start their sentences with “I swear to God” But they don’t mean nothing by it. Arabic
people love to show excitement when conversing with one another. Might be one of the
fascinating things I found from chapter 10. I wish I had something, and I want
Americans to talk with lots of enthusiasm like it seems to be the Arabic culture. It is
pretty cool how Arabic people use proverbs similar to what the westerns use, but they
add like a rhyme scheme. They always have to have a little message through the text
that you might not get reading it, but Arabic people do. One was if I can remember
correctly, it was like one hand claps alone of something like that. But it’s supposed to
indicate the reason behind teamwork. Look at it; it’s like a language into another
language. It’s kind of like coding per se.In my opinion, I can’t wait to learn more and
more about the Arabic culture, and it’s only been one weekend, and I’m already too
fascinated.
Jamal Camp Arab Values, Beliefs, and Friendship
I know I said it in my last discussion, but the Arabic language is fascinating. All
the things that I thought I knew wasn’t even scratching the surface on the Arabic culture
and Arabic language. In the readings, I found out Arabs are in a much higher standing
or position than Westerners. Little do people know It used to be the other way around.
That’s just how you can tell the language has changed; their culture and evolved to
become the 5th dominant language in the world. Arabian people are super religious,
every decision they make is not off the person’s will, but there’s a God that they serve.
They believe that all events and outcomes; instead, they’re good or bad, are controlled
by God’s fate. I feel similar to the way Americans think the older you get, the wiser you
are. Arabian people think the same way. Also, are elderly in America are treated as the
high class, intelligent people just because they have seen it all and done it all, and that’s
very similar to the way of life through the Arabic culture. Like the states, although there
might be different regions in different parts of America with other cultures, there’s a
basic understanding of how older people should be treated and their respect.
As mentioned previously, chugging through the textbook gave me a clear
understanding of Arabic people’s fundamentals and attitudes. In the book, Arabs should
always care for themselves to a high standard and recognize themselves. Where they
will be view as an excellent citizen and human being. I feel like that’s just not the
Arabian people’s thoughts that should be the whole world’s. Again I say similar to how I
know my family standing but many other families around the world. You do everything
through your family, which paints a picture good or bad on how people view you. Some
of the characteristics mention are dignity, honor, and the reputation you carry. And this
is unlike the Western culture will there more individualized standings. Another
fascinating point to me was how every Arabian person believes in God and some way.
That is, unlike anywhere I’ve heard. There is a term called “inshallah,” Which means
God’s will. As we have rules created in our Declaration of Independence, we gave us
the right to separation of church and state but not in Arabic culture. Religion is
Everywhere You See, and it’s very prominent in the school setting.
Arabian people are supposed to be some of the most influential kind and
personal people in the world. If it’s in a job setting to ask about your day, family, health,
or just walking around in the park. Arabian people carry themselves highly and forever
will. Arabian people take the saying “Southern Hospitality” to another level. How people
around the southern parts of the United States say southern hospitality is the best
hospitality, but I think they beat us a little bit. All in all, Arabian people are some of the
best people in the world, and I would say I would love to meet one someday. It will not
only make me a better person, also a better man.
In this week’s readings, we covered chapter 6 Arabic regions that are in the African
continent. Was any continent, there are always similarities between each country.
Sometimes it might be religious, Culture, government, or even economy. The reason for
them doing that is because they’re trying to make sure everybody’s on the same page,
so if you wanted to trade with another country or use another country’s wealth, then
you’ll be able to do so. Also, it wouldn’t be a culture shock going into another country
you would know at least a language that you can communicate with from the cultural
aspect of it. One of the significant negatives is most of the surrounding countries or
most of the states, in general, have a dictatorship type ruling meaning 100% of the time
you’re being told what to do and when to do it. And that is a problem for European
countries that are going to Africa. Looking through the reading, there is once a
competition that could gain the most amount of space countries in general and Africa’s
continent. It was mainly westerners fighting with African countries that brought More and
stableness African countries that were already had been engraved with violence, low
economic status, and corruption. How to develop a strong understanding of the Arabic
culture. in recent memory, the crime rate and Arabic cultures have Skyrocketed, and all
of it goes strictly to the westerners. And this can be seen by some of the events in the
United States and some of the events that have happened overseas. We’re given a
visual representation of how are State about westerners and the rest of the world. And
through these events, there have been Sue groups that have been born on the fountain
of hatred, and those two groups are Isis and Al Qaeda. These two groups try to put blue
hands when they see a government that doesn’t do anything about it for years and
years; they think it’s their turn to step up to the plate, take the initiative and control the
situation. That’s why over the past couple of years, you seen the increase of terroristic
attacks on other nations through these two groups and certain groups of people. Often
by westerners. I would say there’s no reason for any terroristic attacks. There’s no
reason for violence at all regardless of whether it’s the dictatorship not doing anything
about it and you want something to be done; it’s not their right to take the initiative and
add violence so they could get what they want. And many people that take the judgment
I’m saying this all conceived as judgmental or one-sided towards Arabic or even
stereotypical of Arabs just because from the United States aspect what happened on
9/11 and then from what we’re starting to see now in our country. As I said earlier, the
economies are very similar because they have to trade an account for something from
another region that they don’t have. So if you have the same currency or very close to
the same money that’s worth the same, you’ll be able to trade and game supplies and
sell supplies. Most Arab egregious depend on Lluvia, which is the main export for
natural gas but in Libya, their environment doesn’t have significant agriculture taking the
country. But that I thought was pretty crazy while reading was since it’s so bad
agriculturally 75% of their food is all imported from another state. Meaning only 25% of
their whole food source throughout the country they produce; I just find that mindboggling. on a positive note but might go under the radar is women, and Arab countries
in even African countries have been educated. The numbers have quadrupled over the
past two decades. Just crazy to see just because we’re so tied into a lot of other things
to see the development of a country but many the cultures in history that a country May
face or a culture May face, there’s a lot of issues that go into it. These countries have a
vibrant account and I seen as dominant forces where they’re from some of the stuff can
be fixed; what’s a question many people filter ask themselves as do you want it to be
fixed.
Hi everyone, we have found our sleeves through midway thought the semester,
and with that being said, we go to the topics of Arabic men and women in Islam. With
that being said, I thought the subject of men in women in Islam was a very excellent
decision piece and kind of goes into one of the main topics that American talks about
today.
Citizens of Arabs, obviously men and women, are the backbone of Arabic
countries. in every fashion known to man, men and women are the most potent things
ever to walk this Earth. I want that being said, the topic of men and women in Islam and
Arabic countries is very dynamic but often can be controversial. Saudi Arabia has more
men and women than any other country, which is a very cool thing and can be distant
from other topics that the government has to face, but the interactions are controlled to
the T. I thought it was pretty crazy that if a woman ever messes up or misbehaves in
the men’s honor, it does more damage to the family than to the men. For instance, if a
woman was to go against their husband’s integrity, it will do more damage to the family
than the person they harmed. I’m not very surprised by that. I was just confused about
how the person that usually adverse action towards affects the whole family instead of
the actual individual that’s slightly different from how we handle things in America. I was
a bit impressed by how to like in America, we can be free and be freely walking with a
couple or a husband or alive or anything of such, Islam countries, there are lots of
restrictions when it comes to having interaction with a husband or wife or even a couple.
A lot of the couples and marriages are very discreet and went out in public you really
can tell who is together who is not that’s very different to the way it is in America. I
thought it was kind of funny how men and women can’t be together in a room by
themselves without it being seen as suspicious I thought that was very crazy just
because in a lot of households that are like a family room, people start dating and stuff
but to have grown adults still can’t do that it’s just very shocking to me. And if you were
to guard the women’s image or likeness diverse imposed by culture rather than the
religion. One of the similarities that I found was that women are dependent on men
socially, and that’s pretty much the nail on the head when you talk about relationships in
America. And they have to make sure they’re in their best behavior when with family or
with their husbands a social setting. They’re not able to be themselves. I feel like that’s
kind of sad but understand their way of life. In America, if you retain yourself as very
familiar with a person or an individual and you’re seen as showing a sort of lust or
admiration towards somebody. Still, if you do that in Islam, then it’s all negative
connotation low morals. For instance, if you show holding hands or kissing all these
different things that show affection for somebody is not allowed in Arabic culture, it’s
against quote-unquote the social code. But don’t get me wrong it does happen, but it
won’t be in public him; it was more so we’ll be behind closed doors. Even though it’s
against the rules, it still does happen. From the outside looking in, many people think
Islam is just a very nasty, grimy culture. It’s one way or nobody’s way, but it’s not like
that, nor is the Arabic culture. There might be many restrictions in America; you just got
to think of them as a loss I feel like in most cases. I might be something here or there
that might be out of the question of that’s cruel to you or too hard or anything like that
those are going to happen. But they also have to understand that women are very
protected and seen as very high in Arabic in Islam culture. their religious Bible, there is
a massive impact on women’s rights, and social justice is very different from the way
Westerners believe. We know that westerners don’t think so in the Quran. In America in
all countries around, there’s been an enormous push to get more involvement and
women’s rights and women education in the workplace and the world. Some countries
that stick out the most for trying to advocate for women have been Morocco, Tunisia,
and many others. There have also been foundations to promote the Sharia law to
encourage women’s rights and LibForALL or LFA. Lastly, I miss understanding of how
women are treated and the Islam culture. It definitely can get misconstrued from the
sure polygamy. But people think it’s ubiquitous however, polygamy is hugely restricted
in Arabic countries. But it’s more traditional and some of the more liberal side of things
such as the Arab in Peninsula where is more money what people have the
understanding of how the elements in All Phases of the Arabic countries.
think is a hundred percent true. It’s just a messed-up situation how has to come down to
that. And on top of that, another thing is you supposed to be professional if it was with
some of the best people in the world that are here to treat you that person is treated
unfairly or not good at all up to you, it’s your fault that person is not supposed to feel any
type of way when they are going to try to ask for care to be assistant them especially if
she’s a woman.

fascinating things I found from chapter 10. I wish I had something, and I want
Americans to talk with lots of enthusiasm like it seems to be the Arabic culture. It is
pretty cool how Arabic people use proverbs similar to what the westerns use, but they
add like a rhyme scheme. They always have to have a little message through the text
that you might not get reading it, but Arabic people do. One was if I can remember
correctly, it was like one hand claps alone of something like that. But it’s supposed to
indicate the reason behind teamwork. Look at it; it’s like a language into another
language. It’s kind of like coding per se.In my opinion, I can’t wait to learn more and
more about the Arabic culture, and it’s only been one weekend, and I’m already too
fascinated.
Jamal Camp Arab Values, Beliefs, and Friendship
I know I said it in my last discussion, but the Arabic language is fascinating. All
the things that I thought I knew wasn’t even scratching the surface on the Arabic culture
and Arabic language. In the readings, I found out Arabs are in a much higher standing
or position than Westerners. Little do people know It used to be the other way around.
That’s just how you can tell the language has changed; their culture and evolved to
become the 5th dominant language in the world. Arabian people are super religious,
every decision they make is not off the person’s will, but there’s a God that they serve.
They believe that all events and outcomes; instead, they’re good or bad, are controlled
by God’s fate. I feel similar to the way Americans think the older you get, the wiser you
are. Arabian people think the same way. Also, are elderly in America are treated as the
high class, intelligent people just because they have seen it all and done it all, and that’s
very similar to the way of life through the Arabic culture. Like the states, although there
might be different regions in different parts of America with other cultures, there’s a
basic understanding of how older people should be treated and their respect.
As mentioned previously, chugging through the textbook gave me a clear
understanding of Arabic people’s fundamentals and attitudes. In the book, Arabs should
always care for themselves to a high standard and recognize themselves. Where they
will be view as an excellent citizen and human being. I feel like that’s just not the
Arabian people’s thoughts that should be the whole world’s. Again I say similar to how I
know my family standing but many other families around the world. You do everything
through your family, which paints a picture good or bad on how people view you. Some
of the characteristics mention are dignity, honor, and the reputation you carry. And this
is unlike the Western culture will there more individualized standings. Another
fascinating point to me was how every Arabian person believes in God and some way.
That is, unlike anywhere I’ve heard. There is a term called “inshallah,” Which means
God’s will. As we have rules created in our Declaration of Independence, we gave us
the right to separation of church and state but not in Arabic culture. Religion is
Everywhere You See, and it’s very prominent in the school setting.
Arabian people are supposed to be some of the most influential kind and
personal people in the world. If it’s in a job setting to ask about your day, family, health,
or just walking around in the park. Arabian people carry themselves highly and forever
will. Arabian people take the saying “Southern Hospitality” to another level. How people
around the southern parts of the United States say southern hospitality is the best
hospitality, but I think they beat us a little bit. All in all, Arabian people are some of the
best people in the world, and I would say I would love to meet one someday. It will not
only make me a better person, also a better man.
