History influence
Previously, the relationship between history and culture has been factored as the premise enhancing the understanding of human societies. A progression of this involves studying distinct communities such as Muslims, Indians and Mexican. Muslim society is of great influence today not only in the United States but also in the entire world. Having originated from Arabian peninsula, in the 17th century, today, the Muslim society account over one-fifth of the total world population (Samovar et al., 2017). It means that Islamic society is continually growing at a steady rate. Historically, the origin of Muslim society is marked by the spread and rise of Islamic civilization and the pre-Islamic period referred to as the age of ignorance.
As informed by samovar et al., (2017), the age of ignorance was an Islamic era that denoted the deviation of early groups of Islam from the Middle East great civilization. In this case, it is informed that following nomadic movement, Muslims were unable to adopt the culture of architecture and artefacts practised by the Babylonians and the Sumerians (Samovar et al., .2017). Instead, they are said to have developed a culture of expression subject to their nomadic life and characterized by poems which communicated values such as persistence in revenge, patient in battle, protection for the weak, and fidelity in promises (Samovar et al., 2017). It is during this time that the early groups are said to have conducted a pilgrimage in the city of Mecca, which is considered as an essential Islamic history conducted even today.
Another aspect that marks the history of Muslim is civilization and political succession. In this case, it is found that having left not a successor, death of Prophet Muhammad resulted in divisions among Muslims with Shia and Sunni being the two major groups formed as a result (Samovar et al.,2017). While Sunni are said to have believed in leadership based on qualification, Shia are said to have believed that leadership is a succession process which should be traced from the lineage of Muhammad. As such, it is said that the contrasting perspectives account for the continued rivalry between Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Syria (Samovar et al., 2017). The differences are further projected towards Muslim –Christian rivalry; however, the recent integration of Christian and Muslim in Jerusalem is said to have been reasonable and characterized by humane, unlike during the early ages.
In the recent world, the Islamic region is facing a lot of economic and social struggles driven by contrasting perspectives between two systems. From an article by Dusek, (2019) it is realized that the Middle East and North Africa are facing unsustainable social, economic struggles, humanitarian disaster, dormant entrepreneurship and innovation, corruption, and slow adaptation to industrial revolution. Primarily, this is said to be influenced by two contrasting systems In the Arab world where one is characterized by digitally youth open economy while the other is characterized by controlled and close economy (Duesk, 2019). Ideally, these issues emanate from contrasting interaction between the two systems where, according to Duesk, (2019), there exist a controversy between the need to embrace a forward-looking system while respecting the Arab tradition.
As read from previous chapters, intercultural communication is a modality that enhances society factors such as resolution of social issues, promotion of coexistence among diversities, political issues, legal cooperation, and humanitarian aids. As seen above, contrasting systems is the core hindrance of development in the Arab world. According to samovar et al. (2017), Intercultural communication is said to enhance dialogue and agreement that solves domestic divisions. Hence, applying it in Islamic regions can end the contrasting perspectives between the influencers of development and the conservants of Arab tradition. Further, intercultural communication enhances negotiation and enforcement of regulation where exist cultural divergence (Samovar et al., 2017). Hence, following that the issue of social-economic disagreement in Arab nations is elicited by collision in cultural perspective, intercultural communication can enhance international legal agreement that can set free the held believes between the social systems and as a result, stir economic progression.
