Challenges and Enlightenment of the Cultural Change
One of the major changes that one faces in lives is when they have to change their homeland. There is also this sense of how things are going to turn out in terms of the changes. The move from United States from Saudi Arabia is one of the drastic life changes that a person is ever supposed to make. On one hand, they are the part of the regressive cultures in the world in a sense that they are not allowed to voice their opinion, the cultural exchange is minimal, the sense of openness is not there, and one cannot interact with females. Then there is small matter of how religious freedom or the lack of it is offered in the United States. The other major factor that prompts this decision is that how stakeholders that are involved at the broader level must make sure that they are well endowed with different aspects of the cultural exchange is supposed to make. So, on my part, there is always this fear of unknown that how I am going to adopt to the different culture. Now, by nature I am a person that loves his Saudi tradition and staying away from the family has been something that does not comes easily. The other thing that is making the decision much more difficult is the fact that the sort of childhood that I had to experience. My parents had divorced and the pain and the sort agony it made go through, I would never want something to happen like this to anyone. Even if one has to take into account the fact that both are happy in their respective lives, the pain has still lingered on. I would want my sister and their respective husbands to stay together and would have liked to play much more role in this regard.
There is another part of the whole equation though. United States is regarded as the land of opportunities and it is one of the biggest economies in the world. There is a simple mantra if one gets to live in the United States and that is based on the premises that the harder you get to work in the United States, the greater are going to be the rewards that one could be getting in the country. I have always wanted a good life style for myself and moving towards the United States is going to give me this opportunity. The other thing is that it is important according to me to make sure that one develops an insight about how the other cultures are supposed to work. There are many things that one gets to see in their lives, and it is imperative to make sure that effort is being made with regards to ensuring that I understand some of the things that are involved in this culture. Not only that, I would like to make sure that even though I do not develop this disregard for my own culture, but there is going to be effort on my part to make sure that how I integrate in their culture and develop my sensibilities. My mother is of the perception that there is not supposed to that much of proximity in terms of the way women are supposed to be interacting with each other at the particular point of time. Also, despite the fact that I have strong linkage with my culture, the fact remains that the women empowerment is one thing that I would like to see and would appreciate surrounding myself with women who propagate this thought process at the particular point of time.
