A HYPOCRISY OF VALUES – Exposing the Duality of the Arab Personality

Once Arabs began the shift in their way of life, of their nomadic tendencies and slowly became urbanised, the internal conflict between their tribal belief and behavioural systems continued for many centuries. In actuality, it continues today through the recent incorporation of many Bedouin tribes into new nation states within the Middle East. There hasn’t been enough time elapsed to gradually migrate the mindset from one shaped in the desert versus the new mentality that required a new set of rules, civil rules and behaviour. Even those that had been modernised for many decades or centuries, to this day, retain certain fundamental traditions of the collective tribal consciousness.

This video illustrates the internal conflict that characterizes modern Arabs in many various nations, the challenges that confront them and the resolutions that need to be realised.
