Comparison of Dubai and Saudi Arabia

Mastering the art of cultural negotiations is extremely helpful in conducting business in different parts of the globe. The argument that culture is inconsequential to cross-cultural negotiation is flawed and ill-advised. The proposal that if a business deal is financially attractive, the cultural aspect of the business negotiation will be just a formality is both naïve and unreasonable way of conducting business. Doing business in the Middle East is especially difficult if one has not trained in the art of negotiations across nations that have unyielding cultural ties. When conducting business in Dubai or Saudi Arabia, there are ...

Hygiene is often something we consider when examining different cultures around the world. We often wonder what cleaning rituals different people have, and how they define the word, “cleanliness” themselves. Something we sometimes overlook, however, is dental hygiene when we are examining cleanliness. Specifically, we overlook how dental hygiene differs in care and cultural beliefs between two different groups. Take, for example, the people of Saudi Arabia, and the African American communities of the United States. Some of their oral hygiene practices are the same, due to poverty, or education. Others are different due to cultural and religious beliefs. ...

Ambrosio’s lectures guide a person through the evolution and history of two western traditions that exhaustively addresses the question of life’s meaning. The hero figure is the derivation from Greek and Roman culture that focuses on the humanist philosophical tradition. The saint figure is the Judo-Christian/ Islamic theistic tradition that focuses on the religious aspects of life meaning. These figures are metaphorical, and they give the deep understanding that people need to know (Meltzer et. al., 1212) The hero’s universe is a paradigm of uncongenial forces of necessity and fate unresponsive to human desires.

Before the age of Mohammed Muslims said that their people lived in the age of ignorance and the Arabian Peninsula was an archaic place that housed a myriad of religions and cultures – some sort of political wasteland (Basif, 2013). The Bedouins were the nomads that occupied the peninsula and provided the backbone for the social atmosphere. They were skilled travellers and controlled the commercial networks. While the peninsula housed a lot of towns and cities, Mecca stood out from them all. It was not a major trading city or a crossroad to one but it stood near an oasis marked by a black cube. ...
