And, people from different countries such as Israel, Japan, and Saudi Arabia feel the same way about their countries as Americans feel about America. They honor the traditions, believe in their country as a whole, and fight anyone who wants to attack it. And, they will also obey the old and new customs of their land.

Abstract
Saudi-American relations have been one of the most important paradigms in the broader American relations with the Middle East, and the Muslim world as a whole. Since the 1930s, when an official connection between Saudi Arabia and the United States was first established, it has evolved to a point of almost complete dependence on one another. The paper shows that, contrary to the general perception of a strictly oil connection, the relation today is much more one of American geo-political interests in the region, and the security of the Saudi Royal family. In short, the Saudi-American relationship has always been "a marriage of convenience, not affection." The paper shows that behind the official line of friendship and common interests, however, is a very complex relationship that is often strained by the mutual exclusion of two very different and incompatible societies. On one hand, the partnership is challenged by younger Saudis opposed to the United States and the corrupted Saudi regime, and on the other it is opposed by Americans questioning the ties to a terrorist exporting Saudi Arabia.
From the Paper
"President Reagan, however, decided the sale of the AWACS must proceed to help the Saudis guard against attacks on their oil installations. He urged Congress to approve the transfer of five AWACS and seven aerial refueling tankers. The package also included auxiliary fuel tanks for the F-15 fighters and more than 1,000 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. The deal was presented to the public as nothing more than a small military package of five planes and some equipment. Days before the Senate vote, the Washington Post prepared a story on the real size and significance of the purchase, but the Pentagon pressed the newspaper to delay it until after the vote".

Abstract
This paper examines the premise of pride and prejudice in relation to the characters of Elizabeth and Darcy in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice". The author points out that the public behaviors of Darcy's pride makes him appear to be an arrogant and self-serving young man. The paper relates that his behaviors are not driven by mere vanity but by a true desire to associate with only the most moral and noble of persons. The author underscores that Elizabeth holds a prejudice against Darcy's public image and must invariably undergo an evolutionary change to realize Darcy's private moral and upstanding convictions. The paper concludes that, when Elizabeth realizes that Darcy is prideful, gruff and impersonal to people who are immoral and vice-prone, she understands that this is a form of pride upon which to form a marriage.
From the Paper
"When Elizabeth hears of this private side of Darcy's personality, she is astonished to realize that he does not behave proudly out of mere arrogance, but out of his own conviction for just actions and moral fortitude. This also forces Elizabeth to reconsider her rejection of Darcy first marriage proposal, but the issue of pride in Darcy's attitudes is not founded on vanity; which also provides more evidence for Elizabeth to consider accepting Darcy if he should propose marriage to her again."

Abstract
This paper explains that Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice" is structured around aspects of pride versus prejudice. The author points out that most of the characters depict these traits in their behaviors and their personalities as seen in proud Darcy and prejudiced Elizabeth. The paper concludes that this book is really about love because, in the end, the reigning aspect of love is able to ultimately dominate and dissolve any form of pride or prejudice previously existing in Austen's characters.
From the Paper
"The initial meeting of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy at the Meryton Ball overall establishes this theme of pride versus prejudice in the novel. Mr. Bingley, having already been interested in Jane Bennet, suggests to Mr. Darcy that he ask Lizzie to dance. Mr. Darcy's initial reaction to Bingley's offer reflects his opinion of the lower class of society, and his assurance that he is well above and beyond socially inferior women such as Lizzie."

Abstract
This paper argues that Saudi Arabia should suffer economic and political sanctions due to its violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The paper focuses on Saudi Arabia's treatment of women and cites examples of how the government of Saudi Arabia routinely abuses the rights of Saudi Arabian women. The paper also describes the abuse and mistreatment of foreign women and explains why Saudi Arabia has been allowed to continue in this manner and talks about the UN responsibility in addressing the problem and holding Saudi Arabia accountable. A complete outline of the paper is included.
From the Paper
"Saudi Arabia holds an important position in the Arab, Muslim and international communities. Among the Arab countries, it holds an important position because of its economic strength, its position as the center of Islam and its role as the leader of the Arab Gulf countries. In the Muslim World, it is the most important nation because it is identified with Islam and is the home of the Islamic pilgrimage. Within the international community, Saudi Arabia's incredible oil wealth has made it an important country on whom many, including the United States, are dependant for their energy needs and requirements. This unique position of religious, regional and economic power has protected Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabians from facing the consequences of human rights abuse. The United Nations, which David P. Forsythe defines in "The United Nations and Human Rights, 1845-1985," as the international protector of human rights in the world, has mainly ignored Saudi Arabia's violation of human rights laws because of its international and regional economic, political and religious influence and power. Consequently, Saudi Arabia, defined by Tom Lantos in "Discrimination Against Women and the Roots of Global Terrorism," as a "gender apartheid" state, has continued to abuse the rights of both Saudi Arabian and foreign female workers (7). Not only that, but Saudi Arabia can further be defined as a racist state which denies all minority groups, including Saudi and foreign ones, their basic human rights. The Shiite Saudi Arabians are not treated as equal to the Sunni majority and live on the borders of the country, fearing prosecution (Peretz). The foreign Christian community, as reported by the US State Department's Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2002, is not allowed to practice its faith and, if members of it do, the punishment is execution. As for Saudi females, they are denied identity as human beings, referred to even by members of the Saudi Royal Family UBOs, or "Unidentified Black Objects" (Peretz). Lastly, foreign female workers are raped, beaten, overworked, denied their wages and locked in houses as prisoners. Despite the fact that these issues of abuse have received great attention by human rights organizations and the media, the United Nations and the international community has not taken action against Saudi Arabia, forcing it to abide by Islamic human rights or international human rights. Saudi Arabia should suffer economic and political sanctions due to its violation of the Universal Declaration of human rights and the Islamic human rights, seen in its oppression and abuse of Saudi women and foreign minority groups, including their imprisonment in the home and illegal executions."

From the Paper
"The book, Siyasa Shariyya: The Anthropology of Injustice; the Case of the Saudi Kingdom, by Ehshan Ehsanullah (1994), was written to challenge the legitimacy of the Saudi Monarchy as well as an attempt to draw attention to the unjust activities of that government. Ehsanullah does not just attack present forms of government he sees throughout the Islamic world but rather proposes an alternative model of governance which calls for the unification of the Islamic community in adherence to the Quran. The author hypothesizes that the Umma, or Muslim Community, is in a state of crisis, and that the main problem with this community is the poor leadership it is receiving. Dr. Israr Ahmad concurs with the author in the forward he wrote for the case study:
The irony is that today the Umma (Muslim Community) is found to be either in a state of stagnation or, worse still, truly.."

Saudi Arabia, 2006.
This paper offers an analysis of Saudi Arabia's financial and political strength.
2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 6 sources, $ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how Saudi Arabia has long been the de facto leader in the Middle East, due largely to its vast stores of proven oil reserves and its central role in the Islamic faith as the home of Mecca. The paper explains how Saudi Arabia has also taken a leading role in regional conflicts, in that it has often played a conciliatory role behind the scenes while maintaining a somewhat unyielding facade in negotiations with other Middle Eastern states. The paper points out that the financial markets in Saudi Arabia are as problematic as the social and political dimensions encountered with its borders. Saudi Arabia does not maintain a fully independent stock exchange but rather maintains the Saudi Arabia Monetary Agency, which acts as a de facto central bank and maintains an electronic stock trading program known as the Electronic Securities Information System, or the ESIS.

?Pride and Prejudice?, 2002.
Examines the issues of pride vs. prejudice in Jane Austen's novel.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice" is structured around the theme of pride vs. prejudice, with characters showing aspects of each of these traits in their behavior and in their personalities. The paper examines how both major and minor characters reflect issues of pride and instances of prejudice as common characteristics that shape their actions, usually without their being at all aware of it. The paper shows how the terms "pride" and "prejudice" contrast, particularly as essential characteristics of Darcy (the proud) and Elizabeth (the prejudiced) as they learn to overcome their natural inclinations sufficiently to come together. The paper demonstrates how Austen does not simply present these characters as representatives of these character traits as would be found in an allegory. What Austen shows is that the society of the time is so guided by issues of pride and prejudice that real human connections are rare and to be prized.
From the Paper
"Elizabeth Bennett is the intelligent heroine of this novel, but she is as guilty of self-absorption as any of the other characters in the novel, including Darcy. She has superior intelligence, and while she believes this places her above the error of prejudice, it does not. She has good reasons for rejecting Darcy at their first meeting. First, she is reacting to the actions of Mr. Wickham. Second, she refuses because Mr. Darcy separated Jane and Bingley. Third, although she is flattered by Darcy's proposal, she refuses because as he proposes, he allows his pride to come to the fore and so tells her that it would be degrading to be connected with her family. Here is where pride and prejudice clash directly, for Elizabeth is influenced here by her prejudice, which prevents her from understanding the nature of Darcy's pride. Her prejudice only begins to crumble when he writes an earnest letter to her and confesses that he did interfere between Jane and Bingley. He also reiterates to her his belief that Wickham is a bad character, and by now she agrees. Her prejudice then begins to disintegrate. Darcy is no longer too proud to see Elizabeth as a good catch, and she is no longer too prejudiced to understand his feelings."

"Industrialization in Saudi Arabia
The General Economy
The Saudi Arabian economy is dominated by oil, which accounts directly for nearly forty percent of gross domestic product (GDP).1 Indirectly, however, considering that petroleum production allows the government to subsidize manufacturing, agriculture, and services in much of the private sector, it is estimated that the oil sector controls eighty percent of the desert kingdom's economy. That said, official general policy since the oil boom two decades ago has been to diversify the economy. Agriculture, for example, is subsidized in order to decrease dependence on imports of foodstuffs in this arid, mostly non-arable land that requires vast amounts of irrigation. As a result of such subsidies, agricultural production has increased about 8 percent a year..."

Abstract
This paper discusses how at first glance, the economic prospects in Saudi Arabia might seem exceptional. After all Saudi Arabia is home to one of the largest reserves of oil in the world. The paper goes on to say that the industrial world quite literally turns on the oil that is produced in Saudi Arabia and some of its neighboring nations. Given that fact, it would seem that Saudi Arabians should be living well with a bright future ahead of them.
From the Paper
" While the current government has certainly taken great strides towards improving the economic situation in the nation, there are still significant troubles in Saudi Arabia, ones that will not easily be surmounted despite a recent surge in economic growth. One of biggest economic changes that has occurred in Saudi Arabia has happened over the past twenty or thirty years regarding per capita income."

Abstract
This paper considers the theme of pride in two literary works, the play "The Cherry Orchard" by Anton Chekhov and the novel "The Stone Angel" by Margaret Laurence. Noting that theme of pride is common in literature, with pride being one of the seven deadly sins in the Christian conception and an example of a fatal flaw in the Greek view in classical literature. This paper then reviews how that theme of pride is seen in these two works in terms of the past, and the actions of individual characters.
From the Paper
"The theme of pride is common in literature, with pride being one of the seven deadly sins in the Christian conception and an example of a fatal flaw in the Greek view in classical literature. This theme is treated differently by different authors and even in different types of literature. The theme is embodied in the play 'The Cherry Orchard' by Anton Chekhov in the way the characters are portrayed and in the attitudes they take toward their status in society, and it is treated by novelist Margaret Laurence in 'The Stone Angel' through her characters and the way they show pride to be both constructive and destructive..."

Hockey and Canadian Civic Pride, 2008.
An examination of the way that Canadian civic pride and hockey are no longer interrelated.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the interrelated issues of civic pride and identity and the challenges of retaining big league sports teams in Canadian cities. The paper argues that the sources of civic pride are changing, such that hockey is no longer the chief or only source of a sense of civic pride and identity in Canadian cities. Moreover, the paper argues that this is a good thing, as hockey has become increasingly commercialized and public money should not end up in the private pockets of franchise holders.
From the Paper
"Fortunately, as we have seen, civic identity and pride is no longer tied exclusively to hockey in Canada. People have grown up and moved on. This is a good thing, as hockey at the same time has morphed into a big-money sport that makes only a very few people richer - mainly just the franchise owners. It is untenable and unconscionable for people to be denied food, healthcare and housing, while taxpayers' money is poured into the pockets of already wealthy franchise owners. This will mean that more Canadian cities will see the departure of their teams to the big, wealthy cities of the USA's sunshine belt. It seems that Canadians will simply have to root their civic pride and identity in benefits for all, and learn to watch the games from afar. Fortunately, most of us have television!"
