  • Consumer Culture in Saudi Arabia
    Consumer Culture in Saudi Arabia: A Qualitative Study among Heads of Household. Submitted by Theeb Mohammed Al Dossry to the University of Exeter as a Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology September 2012 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ……………………………………… 1 Dedication I dedicate this thesis to my family especially: My father who taught me, how ambitious I should be, he is my inspiration for everything. My mother who surrounded me with her love, praying for me throughout the time I spent working on my thesis. To all my brother and sisters (Noura, Hoda, Nasser, Dr Mounera, Abdullah and Abdurrahman). With a special dedication to my lovely wife (Nawal) and my sons (Mohammed and Feras) 2 Abstract As Saudi Arabia turns towards modernisation, it faces many tensions and conflicts during that process. Consumerism is an extremely controversial subject in Saudi society. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes that the opportunities and constraints of consumerism have brought about in the specific socio-economic and cultural settings between local traditions, religion, familial networks and institutions, on the one hand, and the global flow of money, goods, services and information, on the other. A qualitative method was applied.

  • Extremist Symbols and Flags
    OFFICIAL Extremist Symbols and Flags A person commits an offence contrary to the Terrorism Act 2000 if in a public place they display an article, such as a flag, in such a way or in such circumstances as to arouse reasonable suspicion that they are a member or supporter of a proscribed organisation; however, each case will depend upon its own particular facts including any supporting evidence. We recognise that activity such as this can cause concerns within communities, and the Police Service is committed to disrupting and dealing with any groups or individuals who aim to cause harm or spread fear and hatred, no matter what their ideological or political motive. Whilst holding extreme views is not in itself unlawful, those who seek to create division within our communities and whose protests cross over into unlawful intimidation, violence and public disorder will be dealt with robustly. This document is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all extremist symbols that may be seen within the UK. Instead it identifies a select number of flags and iconography of terrorist groups known to have some material impact on the UK and its population at this time. This includes designated terrorist organisations with no footprint or aspirations within the UK but which British individuals may have travelled to support, or provided financial assistance. The presentation also provides symbols linked to groups with far-right and far-left viewpoints which are not proscribed; these are provided for information only and should not be treated as illegal. If unsure whether a flag or symbol relates to a proscribed organisation, Partners are asked to approach Counter Terrorism Policing for further advice.

As always any comments or suggestions would be gratefully received at [email protected] THE FLAG OF SAUDI ARABIA page 2 The FLAG HISTORY OF SAUDI ARABIA Oleg Tarnovsky Page 3 FLAG INSTITUTE NEWS page 6 FLAGS IN THE NEWS page 7 SITES OF SPECIAL VEXILLILOGICAL INTEREST page 9 MEMBERS’ CHALLENGES Obscure ‘Royal’ Standard of the Season…. page 9 New New Zealand page 10 A Flag for a Union page 11 HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE INSTITUTE page 12 1 The Flag of Saudi Arabia Following the recent State Visit of the King of Saudi Arabia (which was marred by the fact that one half of the flags along the ceremonial route to Buckingham Palace where flying upside down!).We thought it may be of some interest to have a closer examination of this most enigmatic and religiously charged of national flags. Although in its basic form it has been in use since the 1920s, the flag was not officially adopted and the exact design was not specified until 15 th March 1973. It features a white Arabic inscription and sword on a green background. It is the Holy nature of this inscription, known as the shahada 1 which defines the need for special respect beyond that normally accredited to a national flag. Indeed under Saudi Legislation it can not be flown at half mast, nor vertically, and it needs to be made in such a way that the inscription reads correctly on both sides, but the sword must always point away from the staff.

  • • Vexillology – the Study of Flags Every Country in the World Has a Flag As a Symbol of Their Nation, Each with Their Own Particular Colors and Design
    • Vexillology – the study of flags Every country in the world has a flag as a symbol of their nation, each with their own particular colors and design. But the reasons why these designs have been chosen and what they represent are not always immediately obvious. In many cases the stories behind the flags are fascinating, and provide insight into the history of a nation, their culture, previous struggles and future resolutions. FLAG OF SAUDI ARABIA It is a green flag featuring in white an Arabic inscription and a sword. The inscription is the Islamic creed, or shahada: „There is no god but Allah; Muhammad is the Messenger of God“. Green – islam Sword – military power FLAG OF THE ISLE OF MAN Flag of Mann is a triskelion composed of three armoured legs with golden spurs, upon a red blackground. It is a version of the sun symbol used by many ancient civilizations. It may have been introduced to the Isle of Man when the Norse ruled the area prior to 1266. The flag of Mozambique is famous for having an AK- 47 featured, symbolising the country’s bloody struggle for independence as well as the red colour. The open book symbolises the importance of education, the hoe the country’s strong agriculture and the star symbolizes Marxism and internationalism. Green – riches of the land White – peace Black – African continent Yellow – country’s minerals The gold, blue, and white on the Antigua and Barbuda flag portray the country’s natural tourist attractions: sun, sea, and sand. The sun depicts the dawn of a new era with a black background that represents the country’s African ancestry.

  • Maps of the Middle East
    Flags of the Middle East Overview: In this lesson plan, students will become acquainted with some of the country flags from the Middle East. By examining the symbolism in the flags, students will begin to think about the country’s geography, traditions, and histories. This is a good introduction to the Middle East, which can be paired with units and activities on geography lessons. (See Currency Unit, Capitals Unit, Mobility Unit, etc.) Objectives: Students will: 1. Examine a selection of flags from the Middle East and match them with the flag descriptions. 2. Consider how flags tell a narrative about the values of the peoples they represent by discussing the symbols on the flags. 3. Create a personal flag. Activity: 1. Provide students with the handout including the pictures of the flags and the descriptions of the flags. Ask them to match the country flag to its description. 2. Assign groups one particular flag to work with and ask them to discuss their particular flag. Why are the symbols important? What story does it tell about the country? (For a longer exercise, have the groups become “experts” on that country through research projects and then teach their classmates about the country. See lesson plan on capitals for more ideas.) 3. Allow students to relate to the activity by making connections between Middle Eastern flags and that of the United States. Discuss what the flag of the United States represents and then allow students to create their own personal flag. Teachers: Please contact Angela Williams, CSAMES Outreach Coordinator, at [email protected], for the answer key to the Questions on Flags of the Middle East.

  • THE PROFESSION of PUBLIC RELATIONS in SAUDI ARABIA: a SOCIO-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE YAZEED ALMAHRAJ a Thesis Submitted in Partial F
    THE PROFESSION OF PUBLIC RELATIONS IN SAUDI ARABIA: A SOCIO-CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE YAZEED ALMAHRAJ A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy QUEEN MARGARET UNIVERSITY 2017 Abstract This thesis examines public relations in Saudi Arabia as an occupational group. The thesis investigates the knowledge public relations practitioners possess, and how Saudi culture and public communication factors affect public relations practitioners. The thesis offers insights into the cultural background of the country, public communication and public relations practice in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, it provides an analysis of theories of the profession and the relationship between the profession and public relations occupation. For the purposes of this research, in-depth unstructured interviews were used to collect data from 27 practitioners. A constructivist paradigm was utilised to examine the Saudi practitioners’ perceptions of knowledge, culture, public communication. Moreover, the thesis has followed a socio-cultural approach and theories of the profession to investigate the empirical data. The thesis has several contributions to knowledge. Firstly, it brings an understanding of the role of the state in the process of professionalization. Using Vygotsky’s theories the thesis has found that educational institutions influence PR practice and this results in lack of progress and limited opportunities for change, learning and career movement. Secondly, the thesis found that there is disconnection between theories that are taught in universities with PR programmes and PR practices. The thesis found that there is a problematic nature of abstract knowledge, which determines the disconnection between communication theories and PR practice. Moreover, there is a disconnection between the practice immersed in culture and that cultural practices are stronger than professional practice.

The country remains deeply fractured, with the growing presence of armed groups and deep-rooted corruption exacerbating the impact of the armed conflict for ordinary Yemenis within both Houthi-held areas and liberated governorates. Although there has been activity on some fronts, notably along the coast of the Red Sea, the ground war remains predominantly confined to relatively small areas. Most Yemenis therefore carry on with their lives within an economy broken by the distortions of conflict.
