Un resentimiento casi centenario: el árabe

Abstract

The western tendency to consider the whole world should follow its patterns make up the basis of the present conflict with the Arabian world. Concepts such as the equality when facing law, the respect to the individual's rights and the equality between woman and man, which the western world considers to be great social achievements, are seen as real strayings by the Arabian world.

This, in addition to the continue western's exploitation of those countries' natural resources, mostly oil, have created a resentment which has remained from generation to generation. This work tries to explain the reason for this resentment not only from a historical point of view, but from a political and social ones as well.
