Essay On Tourism In The Middle East

982 Words4 Pages

The part of the world that is seen differently is the middle east, though spoken bitterly of, and seen in a different perspective people flock down there to enjoy the riches and beautiful scenery of places in the UAE (United Arab Emirates). Being a religiously involved nation there are rules that are bound to be followed while living and abiding by the Islam religious norms and laws. In this essay I will be discussing three such questions that I hope to answer while I do my research. I will try to answer these questions respectively; Does religion have a great impact on the solo travel of middle eastern women? Is tourism terrorism in the middle east inherent? Why are the rules, norms and customs overbearing on women’s freedom to travel and explore?

The region is one that is highly politicized, and as a result, tourism has been subject to the political conflicts and turmoil that have been apparent over the years. From what I understood, this reading tells me about how the tourist sector thrives in the Middle east and obviously they have their negative externalities that affects their economies at the same time. This paper examined international tourist arrivals for countries across the Middle East with a focus on the issues that have caused the region to achieve growth in tourist arrivals that is below the level that might reasonably be expected given its heritage and other tourism assets. It is suggested that the frequency of negative events created by regular periods of conflict, acts of terrorism and political unrest make the region less attractive to investors who need the stability and growth to achieve acceptable

    The misrepresentations and stereotypes given by the non-Muslims are totally contrary to the real teaching of Islam as it highly promotes gender equality. Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is proven to be very adamant in empowering and elevating the status of women after they were discriminated and exploited by men years before the revelation of the Holy Quran. As female infanticide, prostitution and other exploitation of women were common in the seventh century before hijrah, during Prophet Muhammad’s lifetime, he argued that the birth of a girl is a blessing, and they are not property or subjected to anyone as they are equally human as the men. Prophet Muhammad then outlined several rights for the women such as the right in inheritance, the right in

    The travel market had expanded from the male elite to include male and female travellers from the “middling sort” and as result, a profusion of travel related letters were written to private correspondents. A large number of these letters were collected, collated and entered onto a the Grand Tour Database (www.grandtour.amdigital.co.uk.) together with published collations and travel guides that formed a genre of factual and entertaining travelogues and guides related guides which were widely circulated for those about to travel and for those interested in, but unable to afford foreign travel. Both printed and personal correspondence allowed its reader to extend their understanding of places, cultures and social structures. (Goodrich, A. Chapter 17pp24-25)

  • Three Minority Subcultures

    My initial response to the article “Some Aspects of Childrearing Practices in Three Minority Subcultures in the United States” was I could relate to all three subcultures in reference to childrearing. My biggest challenge will be to ensure I do not express a positive or negative opinion of my own childrearing practices keeping the distinction between cultural relativism and moral relativism in mind as I write my final paper. Similar to the Mexican-American culture, I was raised to be respectful, obedient, have humility, be polite, and exercise courtesy and good manners at all times. The father played the role as the provider, the mother the affection figure, the brother acted as a mentor and protector of younger siblings, and the daughter was trained for the home. I had a harder time relating my childhood and childrearing to the American Indian.

    “O womenfolk, if you know the rights that your husband have over you, everyone of you would wipe the dust from her husband’s feet with her face.” (Al-Hashimi) Throughout the history, Islamic women have been an embodiment of oppression and violence. As they call woman the “second sex’’, women in Afghan are doubly outcaste: one, as a woman, two, as woman of Islam. Women getting murdered, raped, looted, ostracized is a common sight in the country like Afghan. Particularly, the post- Taliban era brought home the onslaught of patriarchy and “Islamic laws” in their full form. Women, then, became the archetype of the Taliban “values and customs”, which were essentially bathed in blood.

  • Eat Pray Love Analysis

    1001 Words  | 5 Pages

    Dismantling the Notions from “Eat Pray Love” The opinion piece by Liz Jones titled “Eat and Pray all you like but it won’t make you lovelier” is a critical piece about the ideas from the movie “Eat Pray Love”, which was based of Elizabeth Gilbert 's novel of the same name. In the article Jones 's purpose is to persuade the audience, which are middle aged American women, how middle-age women who go on self help tourism trips, such as the type seen in Eat pray Love, are absurdly minded, thus conveying that such kinds of trips are unreasonable. In order to accomplish this, Jones utilizes a harsh tone when describing expectations of self-help travel versus reality, making “Eat Pray Love” appear to be purposely deceptive, using quotations on Gilbert 's own words and by conducting an Ad Hominem attack on Elizabeth Gilbert herself to encourage readers to critically question the notion of self-help tourism. One way in which middle aged American women are convinced that self-help tourism does not guarantee self-fulfilment, thus these trips are unreasonable is by utilizing a harsh tone when describing Jones’s anecdotes of her own travel experiences.

    FROM THE BEGINNING OF 1900 TO OUR DAYS Until the first half of 1900, going on holiday was an experience belonging to a privileged class, something that only few could afford. In the 50s-60s, the economic growth and the evolution of means of transport made going on holiday something accessible to a broader range of the people. Back then, the typical tourists were travelling to the same places, at the same time and to do the same things, because there wasn’t that much choice. This type of tourist had not established preferences, it was predictable, driven by emulation and had not yet manifested any special needs.
