At the end of this essay, it is needed to say that Saudi Arabia and United State of America are different in many things such as tourism, social life and the educational process. In short, culture affects our way of living, thinking, and behaving. Also, it controls our relationship with God, family, friends, and the whole society. Saudi Arabia and the United States have two different cultures. Saudis and American have different life style, habits, and behavior. These differences sometimes lead to conflicts, misunderstanding, and misinterpretation. I think people has to be aware of culture differences and try to be more open mind and accept others the way they are. Finally, if you’re not sure how to be polite in someone else’s culture,
“The Pentagon on Tuesday renewed praise of Qatar for hosting a vital U.S. air base and for its "enduring commitment to regional security," sticking to a message of reassurance even as President Donald Trump, via Twitter, applauded a decision by Arab powers to cut ties to the Gulf ally.” Pike, J., Mr. (Ed.). (2017, June 06).

Saudi Arabia climate is broiling in the summer and chilly in the winter, and Saudi Arabia does not have well-defined season. In addition, Saudi Arabia is waterless country, and it does not have rivers or lakes (Al-Shayaa et al., 2012).
Have you ever thought about how politics effect our lives? And have you ever thought how different politics are from one country to another? Around the world there is variety of politics. Each country has their own rules and laws. Two of the effective countries which are Saudi Arabia and Canada have completely different kind of politics such as the way of choosing the ruler, criticizing the government, and the process of establishing a new law.

The topic for this capstone project is “Saudi Arabia versus Iran and the Ongoing Sunni-Shia Conflict”. The paper will delve into the historical split between the Sunni and the Shia, as well as the relationship between Saudi Arabia and Iran given the fact that Saudi Arabia is a predominantly Sunni state while Iran is a predominantly Shia state. Evidently, this ancient divide is contributing in one way or the other to the resurgence of conflict in Muslim countries especially in the Middle East. For instance, it is this struggle between the Sunni and the Shia that feeds the current Syrian civil war, which is threatening to change the Middle East. The divide has also fueled violence in other Gulf countries such as Iraq, Bahrain, Yemen, as well as Lebanon. Notably however, the entire conflicts are not defined in respect to this Shia Sunni divide since there are many other economic, political, as well as geostrategic factors that fuel the conflicts. Nonetheless, the split is one prism that can help in understanding these tensions (Luomi 36). The two nations of Saudi Arabia and Iran are competing for power and leadership in the Islamic world; consequently, they are employing many tactics including the sectarian divide to attain these ambitions.
In the 1940's the United States brought on wave of globalization that ravaged Western Europe. Fast forward to 1979, and the United States is taking advantage of the fear drummed up by the Iranian Revolution in order to secure its influence in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia since then has seen a rise in chronic illness that can be directly tied back to the presence of the United States in this area. After 1979 there was a significant spike in diabetes in Saudi Arabia; it can be argued that increased American influence within the Kingdom is directly responsible for this rise in diabetes.

Crimes punishable by the death sentence in Saudi Arabia include murder, serious attacks on the Islam religion, adultery, dress codes, and since 1987, drug smuggling. Under Saudi Arabian law, serious crimes merit serious consequences. Repeated theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand, administered under anesthetic. Because most meals in Saudi Arabia are eaten by hand from a communal bowl and only the right hand may touch the food, this punishment effectively bans the convicted thief from society. The severity of this punishment has led to a slight softening of the law in recent years; now if the thief repents and makes restitution before the case is brought before a judge, the punishment can be reduced... furthermore, the victim
Saudi Arabia is currently considered by the United States Government as a firm international trading partner for petroleum despite the multitudinous human rights violations blatantly executed by the despotic regime of the Arab nation. As a result of this trading with Saudi Arabia, the United States are fueling inhumane treatment of not only the foreign enemies of the Saudi state but also the inhumane treatment of Saudi Arabia’s own people domestically. The United States should immediately begin embargoing the undemocratic and oppressive regime of Saudi Arabia to undermine their government’s unjust actions; only by moving away from Saudi oil, is it plausible that the United States will be
When it comes to the Middle Eastern continent the most significant and popular country is known as Saudi Arabia. The fact following certain aspects and a shared history with Islamic religion makes it the most well known place in the world for Muslims as well as the entire Arab world. Saudi Arabia lies and covers most of the Arabian Peninsula, inclusive of the Red Sea. The first concrete evidence of human existence in the Arab world takes us back 15000 to 20000 years. Tribes of hunters and gatherers survived on this land, abolishing hunger through wild animals and plants. Over the centuries, the peninsula has played the role in history as an ancient trade center and the birthplace of Islam, one of the most monotheistic religions that exist in the world, even today! Saudi Arabia is not only the homeland of Arabs, but also the homeland of Islam. The Prophet Muhammad PBUH founded Islam in the two holiest places in the Islamic world, Mecca and Medina, which to this day exist within the borders of Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded by King Abdul Aziz in the early 1900’s. After establishing Riyadh as his headquarters, Abdul Aziz captured several neighboring areas, including Mecca and Medina, during the time period of 1924 to 1925 and during the process; he united the warring tribes into one nation. Finally, on September 23, 1925, the country was given the name of Saudi Arabia, with Arabic as its national language and its constitution being based on the Holy
In the governorate of As Sulayyil, located south of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was born Ashwan in 1968, and was named to his grandfather the knight Ashwan AlDossary which named after a camel, in order to keep the habits of his ancestors who were to set on fire at night to grab travelers and invite them for dinner.
Strategic, cooperative relationships between states in the Middle East have tended to be inconsistent and volatile - examples being the alliance between Egypt and Syria that coalesced into the short-lived United Arab Republic in 1958 and the shifting relationships between Saudi Arabia and Iraq . In fact, in Walt’s list of eighteen Middle Eastern regional alliances formed between 1955 and 1979, none lasted for longer than five years (Walt, 1987, p.150). In light of this heritage, it is therefore particularly remarkable that the most persistent regional arrangement to-date has been between Syria, a secular, Arab and predominantly Sunni state and Iran, a Persian, Shia theocracy.
