ESSAY ON: Secular Nationalism Versus Religiously Based States In The Middle East

Number of Pages 10

This research paper: 10 pages in length. Secular nationalism and religiously based states have long held opposition for each other's beliefs. When imagining a community in the Middle East and other areas, such as Diasporas, organizing a state and providing it with a moral basis for legitimacy would have to abide by the needs of both sectors, inasmuch as there cannot be social, political or economic adaptation to the exclusion of either one. Clearly, the impact upon local communities from modern governments and the global economy has been such that the eruption of individuality has been noted in abundance. How do these two frameworks, as well as the persistence of tribalism/ethnicity and the politics of sociability help one to understand contemporary communities, such as Palestinians, Syrian Jews, and Egyptian villagers. When one considers the vastness of global culture as it relates to social politics, it becomes clear that the progression of secularism has unleashed an entirely divergent appropriation of perceived personal rights. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
