It’s a story as old as time itself: corrupt government mistreats citizens and unhappy citizens fight back. However, this time, a happily-ever-after ending is uncertain for the Arab people, who are in the midst of rewriting the history books. I’m referring to the Arab Spring, a powerful movement in full force with people in the Middle East/North Africa region uprising against the cruelty of their government. As the King of Prussia, it’s a disenchanting experience to see fellow regimes failing to…

Prejudice is when someone has a preconceived idea or opinion of someone or something without actually knowing what said person or thing is really, truly like. These assumptions can be about almost anything, but one of the least talked about is that against women in Saudi Arabia. The women of Saudi Arabia are treated like children by the men in their lives.

The relationship between these two countries has always been extremely important due to the fact the United States is heavily dependent on Saudi oil. Saudi Arabia oil production is a key player in the world’s economy and could put many countries at great risk if they were to lose access to trade of oil.…

Traditional and religious practices derived from the Islamic holy text, the Qur’an, have been the determining factors leading to the oppression and segregation of women in Saudi Arabia. Women are expected to be subservient to men whether in home settings or in public settings.
