The Impact and Implications of the Arabic Language, Culture, and Economy on Modern Western Societies
This paper explores the current literature and history of the Arabic language and culture. It particularly focuses on cuisine, literature, art, architecture, and education in relation to culture. The history and modern implications of the origin and evolution of Arabic and its connection to Islam is also explored. Specific loanwords from Arabic to English are shown, and the direct impact of the language itself on English speakers is investigated. The impact on Western economies is also examined. All of these ideas are organized by the pursuit of knowledge to better understand Arabs in order to breakdown negative stereotypes to preserve and cultivate future relations.
