Response on Still Doing It: The Intimate Lives of Women Over 65 The video clips show some women aged 65 and above expressing their views about sexual feelings as far as their age is concerned as well as the societal stereotypes pertaining to their age bracket. For most of the people, presumably below the age bracket, including myself, tend to think that once an individual hits 65 and above, their bodies no longer feel any urge for sex. I have been able to learn from the video that the activity of the human body system, especially on matters about sex carries on as long as they live. However, when we are young, our beliefs are made to believe that as we age, our bodies become sexually less active. Now that the case is as presented by the victims falling within the age bracket, then I agree that the society should abandon lots of stereotypes and hold a debate on the matter. I know it may seem weird finding older people in an intimate relationship, especially with partners way too younger…

Saudi Labor Force: Challenges and Ambitions Notably, Saudi Arabia has considerably changed its economic structure from nomadism to oil-based. Currently, the country is undergoing significant economic transformations, which are intended to address issues like overreliance on the oil sector and labor challenges. A fundamental problem facing Saudi Arabia is the low labor participation by its citizens. At the initial stages of oil discovery, the working population was largely composed of Saudi nationals. However, in the 1970s, reliance on foreign laborers surpassed that of locals (Al-Asmari, 2008). At the time, foreign labor was mainly from regional Arab countries, but later changed to incorporate workers from across the globe. The high number of expatriate workers is attributed to the expansion of the private sector, the small Saudi population, restriction of women, and the high number of young people. The percentage of women in the Saudi workforce is significantly low, in comparison with the rest of the world. Although Saudi Arabia experiences an increasing demand for labor, the country’s economic system has continuously restricted women’s participation. While males account for 54.4 percent…
