There are many reasons why the Middle East and America don’t get along. One of the main reasons is that neither nation nor culture understands the other. They both assume that their culture and way of life is right, therefore the other culture must be wrong. This ignorance builds up to the point in which since the two cultures know nothing about the other, the mystery is filled with fear, which sadly leads to hatred. The American’s view the Middle Eastern culture as demeaning to women and downright crazy. The Middle Eastern’s, on the other hand, think it’s crazy that the Americans give women as much freedom as they do. Both cultures think that they’re way of living is the only way that’s right, and don’t understand that both Middle Eastern and American cultures can both be right. It doesn’t necessarily have to be one over the other.
