We ll be speaking about Iran a great deal soon within the U . s . States. I doubt we ll attack the country (thankfully). Only one factor I believe must be stressed: on social issues Iran is much more progressive than a number of our close allies in the area, like Saudi Arabia, and one of the most progressive nations in the area. This really is neither here nor there within the domain of geopolitics, but to convince a public about something it's frequently necessary to create a cartoon or caricature the enemy. I believe you should bear in mind that apart from Israel our nearest allies in the area are techno-feudal monarchies like Saudi Arabia, not individuals nations, like Iran, that have designed a more thorough accommodation with modernity from necessity (because oil can t offer the whole economy). Additionally, it reminds us that labels like Islamic Republic might not be totally helpful.
Like a gauge of contemporary outlook, as understood in the western world, I poked all over the world Values Survey. The outcomes are for wave 4, around ~2000. The question requested was: A wife should always obey her husband. Possible solutions:
- Agree strongly
- Agree
- Neither agree or disagree
- Disagree
- Strongly disagree
Here are two tables with nations which taken care of immediately this. I stratified by sex and academic degree of participants. The sample dimensions have been in the Total column. Another amounts are rates, summed across the rows to 100%. You will find some surprises, however i ll allow the data speak by itself .
