How is Arab culture different For example, I always get the
impression that Arab culture
holds machismo and a sense of
pride in much higher esteem
than US culture does. What
about Arab views on
technology? Is it not valued
as highly as it is in the US?
Is it safe to say that Arabs,
on average, are more religious
than people in the US?
I am not interested in
stereotypes and the mistake of
spreading a cultural trait to
every single member of the
Arab world. I am also not
interested in the subjective
and often one-sided value
judgements that can be placed
on these cultural
differences--just what are the
average differences between
two cultures.

Arabs are more religious than Americans , Muslims and Christians ( and don't get me wrong religious doesn't mean extremists ) But arabs don't have issues with womens rights as some people might think . If you check the statistics you'll find that in America the violence against women is much more than that in the Arab world . Arabs treat their mothers , sisters and wives as preicious jewels and if a man hits a women he'd be looked at as a coward , the cases of looking down at women in the Arab world are exceptions now they are much open-minded than before . Correction for 17hunter , slavery has completely disappeared from Arabia long time ago . Also Arab Families are much attached together than American families , and arab guy or girl would continue to live with their parents till they get married and have a house of their own . Arabs also believe in the freedom of speech but with limits . |

Can Arab culture change enough Arab culture looks upon manual
labor as beneath them. Arab
culture disdains long-term
planning and scientific
research. Arab culture is
prone to hyperbole and
exagerration. Can the culture
change so that Arabs may
regain honor among civilized
advanced nations or shall it
be content to brag and then do
nothing to advance?

What a bunch of hogwash. "Arab culture" -- what's that? Palestinian Arab culture? Saudi Arabian Arab culture? Lebanese Christian culture? Muslim Arab culture? It sounds to me like you've met maybe one or two Arabs in your life and your basing your conclusions about a huge swathe of people based on that and a handful of stereotypes. The major problem with most Arab cultures is this: the current politics and economics. Change the political and economic situation so that there is not such a dichotomy between the rich and the poor, and "Arab culture" will flourish. |
