What is Middle Eastern?

The Middle East sits at the intersection of global politics, religion, economics, and history, making it a recurring subject across world studies, international relations, political science, and sociology courses. The region's strategic importance—shaped by energy resources, geopolitical rivalries, and a complex web of state and non-state actors—gives students rich material for academic analysis. Papers on this topic often grapple with questions of sovereignty, identity, conflict resolution, and the human consequences of political instability, all of which reward careful, evidence-based inquiry.

The archived papers on this topic reflect a wide range of approaches. Some take a conflict-focused lens, examining tensions such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or India-Pakistan disputes to explore how regional rivalries play out on the international stage. Others adopt a security and policy framework, analyzing issues like maritime piracy, terrorism, and international policing strategies. Social dimensions also appear prominently, with papers addressing the experiences of Arab Americans—particularly in the context of racism before and after 9/11—alongside broader questions of discrimination and opportunity. International finance and business feasibility analysis round out the range, showing that the Middle East is studied as an economic environment as much as a political one.

A strong essay on a Middle Eastern topic begins with a clearly bounded thesis—focusing on one country, conflict, or policy question rather than the entire region. Evidence drawn from international relations theory, documented historical events, and credible policy sources carries the most weight. The most common pitfall is treating the Middle East as a monolith; acknowledging the region's internal diversity strengthens any argument considerably.

Immigration, identity, and disillusionment in Naipaul's "One Out of Many"

Nobel Prize-winning author Naipaul published the story "One Out of Many" in 2001. This story was published the same year as the terrorist attacks upon the World Trade Center in New York City. It is no coincidence that he published the story with the protagonist of South Asian, and stereotypically, terrorist descent during this year. The story is a somewhat familiar one, of a man, Santosh, from a foreign (to Americans) country when his life changes. The man he serves and works for receives a transfer to Washington D.C. What is familiar about Santosh's plight is that he is one of millions of immigrants from countries far from the United States that have an intense American dream.

Community hospital marketing strategies for diverse obstetrical populations

Marketing Forces and Diversification Diversity and competition among caregivers are driving forces for defining major ethnic target groups in the community, targeting marketing to those groups and tailoring health care to the needs of those groups. An astute and successful example is given in Noonan's and Savolaine's article about a Midwestern community hospital. Aware of the community's increasing diversity and mindful of rigorous competition among health care providers, the community hospital was not content with service area analysis of ethnicities and cultures; rather, the hospital endeavored to garner specific data about the ethnicity of obstetric patients who were discharged and physician's specific information regarding the ethnicities of their patients. Using this data, the hospital defined 4 major ethnic target groups and proceeded to intelligently market to those groups while tailoring the health care experience to those groups. The result was continued quality of care above the national average and increased patient satisfaction, even as the obstetric patient population significantly increased. The intelligence and success of those marketing and health care measures to better attract and serve a diverse community should compel a hospital CEO to incorporate the same approach to better attract and service diverse ethnicities and cultures in his/her own community.
