Activity One: Saudis Arrest Woman Leading Right-to-Drive Campaign

1. I am utterly disgusted by the woman’s rights given in Saudi Arabia. The women there are not even allowed to drive, and this because of their religious reasons, and that the men were afraid that the women could not take care of themselves outside alone in the car and they were exposed to the danger of strangers. However, this is just a prejudice; a baseless argument, and if so, we can also safely assume that the same would apply for men, and that they cannot deny it as that itself would be prejudice. Hence, I strongly disagree with the rights of women in Saudi Arabia.
2. In this case, the use of social media has been an advantage to the women of Saudi Arabia, because they take advantage of the fact that Saudi Arabia is the only country with women deprived of their rights, so by this way, they can garner support from other countries, which support human rights to help overthrow the law. Also, by using these social media tools, they can gather the people who support this motion so that their strength will come with numbers.
3. In my opinion, when the government makes laws, they should consider the effects and impacts it has on the human rights and religion. Therefore, I think that both parties must come to a compromise on both sides so that a more harmless solution is created.
