Art, architecture, and design are very important clues for historians to figure out what exactly a civilization, culture and society valued. Architecture, in particular, is a very important part of a larger material culture which may be used by historians as clues to figure out what impact these decisions had on the larger culture and the way each society organizes itself. In this sense, it is almost nearly inescapable that each piece of art or building will not in some way or another influence our thinking regarding how each of these societies is organized.

It is believed that Islam as a religion is designed for the urban community rather than is of a nomadic nature. However, it was shortly changed during nine AD when its religious role was replaced by political incentives when the Muslim world broke its ties with the caliphate in the East.

This essay is divided into four chapters: 1st part will compare and contrast the medieval European and Islamic cities between 9-13 centuries by ...

Over the past few decades, the Islam religion received negative media audience across the continent due to terrorist-related cases.

Gender identity starts its formation at home, and in Saudi Arabia it is not different. Home life greatly influences a person’s growth and is the root of cultural understanding (Mahler, 2012).

Women are also restricted to live in their parent’s house until they get married where they move to their husbands home. In America, however, women are perceived as independent human beings who can work anywhere they choose. Additionally, they are free to move out ...

Introduction

Saudi Arabia as a country bases its law on the Quran. The constitution of the country stands as the Quran. Sharia is the official criminal law, and the government derives its power from the Holy Koran.

The issue of legal rights remains with the monarch in power as stated in the fundamental law. The king remains limited by the sharia law with absolute powers (Ranko 19). Therefore, religion and politics remain entwined in an equal manner. However, the ...

The earliest Italian architects were priest and monks who used skilled craftsmen to carry out their ideas of communal Christian living. Italian buildings ...
