Discuss and explain the Arabic culture

Pursuant to discussions in class about the course’s educational experience and assessment of its impact on your becoming a well-informed citizen, note the following comments:

Have you developed meaningful functional insights to be able (1) to address misrepresentations, misconceptions and stereotyping about Arabs whenever and wherever you encounter them and (2) to critique how a traditional culture attempts to admit change without sacrificing continuity and to pursue development without losing identity?

This entails a selectively detailed but concise analytical description of “Who is an Arab.” Here are some guidelines regarding the preparation of a well structured and amply developed 5-page essay:

*There are certain elements of Arab identity/unity (such as the standard literary language, common heritage, geography, shared history, family structure, codes of behavior, poetic and musical appreciation) as well as certain elements of Arab divisiveness (such as dialectal variation, colonialism/imperialism, legacies of fragmentation, class structure, rural and urban lifestyles, gender relationships, sectarianism/secularism, tribalism, local nationalism, Arab uprising and upheaval). Furthermore, new and diverse critical media, for example, Al-Jazeera [see reports below], and the Arab revolt and its aftermath is having an impact on the development of democracy and regional Arab nationalism.

*This can be used as your introductory paragraph.

• Post-script – What Future for the Arab World?
• The Arab youth speak up
• The Arab Spring according to Azyz Amami
• The achievements for women in the Arab world
• Jon Alterman and Paul Salem on the Arab world

The posted essay introduction includes 24-25 features/key words to develop.
In response to requests by some students, two of these features have been reduced in number, with some consolidation.

Therefore, the introductory paragraph may be modified to include most of the features listed below for the preparation of a satisfactory essay:

standard literary language
common heritage (REMOVED)
geography
shared history (REMOVED)
family structure
codes of behavior
poetic and musical appreciation
media and cultural unity

dialectal variation
legacies of fragmentation
rural and urban lifestyles
gender relationships
sectarianism
secularism
stereotyping and profiling

media and its impact on the development of democracy
Arab uprising and upheaval
