THE TENSIONS IN ARAB LIFE - Torn Between Modernity & Tradition

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]You're an Arab, an Arab in diaspora.

[00:00:02]How do you feel about that?

[00:00:03]Is this identity a trigger for pride or for something else?

[00:00:07]Maybe for running and taking cover.

[00:00:09]Many, unknowingly, take the latter stance.

[00:00:12]So what do you do?

[00:00:14]Your instincts, misguided, tell you to work hard at distilling this Arab identity.

[00:00:18]Is this the right solution or the easier one?

[00:00:21]The better path isn't to run away or oppose that reality, but to face it and possibly, to understand it better.

[00:00:27]Reclaim it.

[00:00:28]And finally, empower yourself through it.

[00:00:31]The Arab identity is a past expanse of histories, behaviors, and emotions.

[00:00:36]It's also a present negotiating an ultra-fast, ever-changing future.

[00:00:40]It affords us tools to deal with the many challenges life throws at us, but we just have to figure out where and how to look.

[00:00:47]This course, ‘unapologetically ARAB’ A Journey to Self-Development is designed to assist in this, discovering the richness of your inheritance by cross-referencing life experiences with key Arab identity attributes.

[00:01:00]And so, I believe it's time, time for you to join me in the pursuit of your Arabness.
