The complete failure of the Arab nations to form a national narrative for the purpose of unification and the establishment of contemporary egalitarian polities happens to be the primary cause behind the ongoing socio-political explosion in the Arab world in recent times. Unity is no longer the major goal and the construction of a society that is capable of mobilizing its resources to combat backwardness and enhance the financial condition of the state has taken a backseat. The elite class has instead tried to enforce a brand of unity via Islam and Arab nationalism that has alienated portions of the population not present ...

Method Description

A quasi-experimental research design will be employed. The nature of the treatment variable (gender) cannot be manipulated by the researcher. However, from the nature of the study, we can deduce a naturally occurring control group (adult-sibling pairs with different gender) and a treatment group (adult-sibling pairs with the same gender). Therefore, a non-equivalent posttest cross-sectional design will be used.
A survey method will be implemented by the use of a questionnaire. Data will be collected using a questionnaire because it is time-saving as the data collection will go on concurrently. It is also cheaper than conducting interviews both in ...
