Civil Libertary Analysis

In addition to the military Qatar’s political views has the U.S. attention. The political system of Qatar is considered and absolute monarchy. The Emir of Qatar is the head of state and the head of the government. Sharia Law is the main source of Qatari legislation, according to Qatar’s Constitution. Qatar is an emirate, and Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani has been Head of State since 1995. He also holds the position of Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief of Qatar’s Armed Forces. Like many other countries U.S. and Qatar haven’t always seen eye to eye on every situation.

The men in Saudi Arabia have more rights and power than the women. Men are the ones who have the most influence and the women are the ones who must listen to what the man says. Of course, this is different from man to man but mostly they are all like that.

Accustomed to stereotypical depictions, Westerners are told that Middle Eastern women are passive, weak, and always veiled. It is often assumed that the severe conditions in Saudi Arabia—where women are not even allowed to drive cars—represent the norm for women throughout the Middle East and in the larger Muslim world. In reality, Saudi Arabia’s versions of both Islam and sexism are rather unique in their severities, although the rule of the Taliban in Afghanistan is now emulating the sexist Saudi model. Women enjoy political and social rights in many Muslim countries, and Egypt has recently granted women the right to divorce their husbands. In Tunisia, abortion is legal, and polygamy is prohibited. Women have served as ministers in the Syrian, Jordanian, Egyptian, Iraqi, and Tunisian governments, and as Vice President in Iran.

2. They felt the national government was too far away from the people and therefore couldn't be monitored by them

One might ask the importance of civil liberties after so many years. The answer is that we are all touched by these liberties every day. Even though civil liberties were embedded into the Bill of Rights in the late 1800’s, we today, as Americans, still have the right to be protected against any abusive power used by the government (Bianco & Canon, 2015, p. 106). Although Americans are protected fully today, it took over a century for all civil liberties to be implemented. With several civil liberties in place, which is most important? Which liberty protects us as Americans, most significantly? I believe all of our civil liberties are equally as beneficial and lead to the safety of every citizen in the United

Men and women in the US have equal rights in terms of driving and taking cases to court. As for education, in the US, colleges have a higher enrollment of females than males, this is far from Saudi Arabia where many women remain with minimal levels of education as result of their male dominated society. The one area where the two countries have a slight similarity is in the work force. Women in Saudi Arabia are limited to positions that are suitable to their nature. In the United States women and men generally pursue undergraduate degrees in different fields which results in the majority of men a women commonly working in different professions and fields. This is one of the explanations for the supposed “wage gap” in the United States. Another example gender stratification in the US workforce comes from the “CEO Power Gap” and the “glass ceiling”. Both of these concepts indicate that women have historically had difficulties obtaining the highest levels of management within the corporate world. In spite of all of this, it is clear the conditions for women in the United States are significantly better than those for women in Saudi Arabia. The concept of femininity in Saudi Arabia is one of independence and inferiority to the superior and dominant idea of masculinity within the nation. This is simply not the case, especially to that degree, in the United

From the 1800’s to present day, the Middle East has undergone many changes and continuities causing formation of their national identity, main factors that contributed were social aspects on society, government structure, and the strong religious roots they possess. The majority of changes occurred through the society aspects with the treatment of women and the discovery of oil. In Middle Eastern history women have had limited rights and have always been unequal to men. Women have always remained very conservative; being sheltered from other men not being able to go in public being covered from head to toe. The discovery of oil has also created many opportunities for the Middle East giving them a national identity and increasing economy.

Civil liberties can be defined as the protection from our own government actions. While civil rights can be defined to make sure all the liberties are fair and equal for all. For example a few civil liberties include freedom of speech, right to vote and the right to privacy right to bear arms. The Amendments then make sure that all those liberties are fair for all by adding clauses. An example is that the 1st Amendment has a clause of freedom of speech but then a clause was added to protect freedom of the press. Freedom of speech is a liberty but the freedom of the press is a civil right because it includes the press to be treated fairly.

Civil Liberties Today, is an article from The New York Times and is dedicated to displaying the numerous security measures that were implemented after the attacks on September 11, 2001. The article brings up the alarm many Americans today have regarding their own personal privacy. It also references the numerous threats the new laws have put on the basic civil liberties of all people. The text goes in depth on these laws and reminds us that they were implemented for one purpose only: to lower the risk of terrorism in the United States.

How would one feel if they knew a stranger was watching their every move? Rather than increased security Americans should experience their personal liberties. Citizens privacy is within their rights. With additional security citizens would constantly be watched, scrutinized, and inspected.

Imagine having to choose just one of the civil liberties. Would you be able to choose just one when there are so many that we need and use on the daily? All of the civil liberties save us a lot of everyday stress but if I had to choose just one, I would choose the second amendment, that states, “a well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”

America is known in history as “The Land of Opportunities,” which has led many people to attempt the treacherous journey to experience this land for themselves. Our country was founded on the principles that the people who live there have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I agree with Judge Learned Hand’s speech “Spirit of Liberty” that the theoretical spirit of liberty exists and is what this country was founded on. In my opinion, being an American means having the freedom to work hard and reap the benefits of that work.

Most countries affected by the civil wars have been cut off from any regional connections therefore they weren’t able to attract many of their regular customers. The UAE has taken that to their advantage by reeling in the customers who would normally shop in Egypt, Syria, Tunisia, Libya and Yemen and give them the opportunity to shop in places in the UAE instead of in a dangerous country. This has led to a 10% rise in spending by shoppers affected by the Arab Spring. The United Arab Emirates is known as a modern country with a stable government system that the public seems to respect. Governments from different countries such as Syria have shut down Internet and power connections to avoid the world to see the troublesome county. Because of these barricades, countries such as the United States and England have been keeping a close eye, especially since they cannot export and import products between countries. Perhaps the Middle East would’ve been better off without the Arab Spring.

Unfair labor treatment in Qatar is a big issue of human rights. People are getting more and more attention of how Qatar as a host country addresses these problems and how relevant parties find a sustainable solution. As recommendations, these followings are what they should perform in order to take responsibility of treated workers and prevent potential abuses.

The United Arab Emirates is one of the most important tourist destinations in the region. The Arab spring had a very minor effect on the country’s tourism as it did not have a revolution but tourists in countries such as the Americas and Eastern Asia and some European countries were still slightly worried to visit any Arab country as it could be hit by the domino effect of the Arab Spring. UAE is not a neighboring country of any of the countries that had revolutions but it is in the same region.
