Persian Stereotypes
Iran(former Persia) is a country located in the middle-east. However, it's not an ARAB country and the people speak persian(farsi) NOT arabic. They are well known for being rich, educated, and good looking. They are also famous for their cats and hand-made rugs.
Physical features: Persian women are said to be some of the most beautiful women in the world. They are famous for their exotic looking eyes. In general, Persians have black hair, brown eyes, and light brown skin. However, this is just a generalization and it varies. There are some who have hazel eyes or brown hair, and some who have dark brown skin.
Persian men are very handsome and Persian women are some of the best looking women in the middle east ( Only Lebanon has more beautiful women!) They are known for dressing in Armani, Roberto Cavalli and Gucci

    This empire was successful because they used the individual strengths and talents of the people they conquered; in doing this they were able to conserve resources. They were also successful because they didn’t suppress the people they conquered. They let them keep their own religions, languages, and general way of life. The Persian kings would often embrace the religion and culture of the people they conquered. In addition, the Persian Empire was very interconnected, which made communication easier. They also had an effective system of government. They used satraps (A provincial governor) to govern a certain territory. Satraps were Persian, but they had local people of that region…

When it comes to making major decision for their family, men are responsible to make those decisions even if his wife doesn’t agree with his decision. Woman has to obey and support her husband in any situations. Men are responsible to show the reputation of their family through work where women have to show their modesty and how dedicated they are to their homes. In a traditional Iranian family a man is responsible to go to work to provide financial support for his family, where the woman is not allowed to work and has to stay home to take care of the children and maintain the household. In Iran, women are required to have their father’s permission in order to travel aboard and once a woman is married to a man, he is responsible to make important decisions for her such as the permission of leaving the country. In Iran, women have to cover their body from head to toe and have no right to show their skin in public places or to other men, because that shows her respect toward her family.

    Though I grow up to love the name, however Iran as is spelled in English language does not represent what the name was originally changed to mean. The reason given to change the ancient name Persia to the modern Iran is because it has come in the history that at the beginning of the second millennium BCE the ancestors of the Aryan settled in the land today called Iran. The Aryans were a broad population including the Medes and Persians. Tribes each occupied a different part of Iran. Thus, the name Iran is to signify and represent the land that was occupied by the Aryans. Though in Farsi’s spelling this representation is visible but the way it has been spelled in English such a significance is not visible. For example, France is where the French people lived, England is where the English people lived and China is where the Chinese lived, etc. Iran is supposed to signify where the Aryan people lived. If it is so, then, the spelling of the name in English should had been differently to reflect the full meaning of the intent, such as Aran or Aryan or other forms but not Iran. Iran to me as well as millions of other people around the world as is spelled in English does not signify nor means the homeland to the Aryan at…
