Arab and Latinos Comparative Analysis
The Arabs and the Latinos
Introduction
This paper is an in depth cross cultural analysis between two races and cultures of people that share the bounty of nature and planet earth. As we look at the different groups of people on this planet, we would be surprised to find out sets of commonalities and differences. These factors give us the idea that each group of people must have come from an ethnic orientation before human civilization crept in. It is truly interesting to delve on a study such as this for it led us closer to our nature as human beings and our origin as a people. The goal of this paper is to illustrate the commonalities and differences between the Arabs and Latinos so that we can draw a positive line whereby both groups of people could work together for the good of humanity in general and their country in particular. This paper is important especially for those who are seeking peace in their land, for those who are thinking of doing business with either side, and for those who are thinking of visiting the place for vacation or job related purposes. It does not claim full authority in describing the cultural differences and commonalities between these groups of people. However, the simple idea it may share would surely contribute to whatever orientation we may have about them. Included in the topic of discussion are the nature of the Arabs and the Latinos, their commonalities, their differences in the manner they transact business and social relationship.
A. The Arabs The Arabs are the people believed to be living in North America and the Middle East, from Western Morocco to Oman, from Turkey in the North to Yemen, and Sudan in the South. These people inhabit an area of 10 million km. There are about 4 million Arabs living in Europe and 2 millions in the Americas according to the 2008 report of the United Nation Development Project. The Arabic heartland is Hijaz, now western Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Around the year 610 CE, the
