This write-up seeks to evaluate the disparity and the similarities that exist between the North American and the Middle East society. The North American society is predominantly Christian. Accordingly, most individuals adhere to Christian values although there are other minority groups that observe other values. Additionally, this society is capitalistic. Conversely, the Middle Eastern society is Islamic. However, their economic model is a moderation of communism and capitalism. The background provided above will enable us to discuss the disparity and likeness among the above societies (Sowell 80). The North American society is Christian. Therefore, the people are liberal about what they engage in. Unlike their counterparts, the Middle Eastern society is conservative owing to its religion. The Islamic religion demands strict adherence to its values. As such, the families in this society make a considerable contribution during marriage. The parents of the bride and groom have to approve the union. If the union is not approved, the couple may face countless challenges seeking acceptance in the society.

Therefore, members of this society are reluctant when presented with fresh ideas. In any interaction, the members of this society seek first to create a rapport then proceed to other activities. This denotes a conservative approach that is absent in the other society where people are not afraid to state what they want directly without fearing that it may denote rudeness (Robinson 208). Despite the differences, the two societies also have likeness. The economic set up of the two societies inclines towards capitalism. The American society is capitalist hence; the wealth of an individual may depends on employment and the investments made. The above is also replicated in the Middle Eastern society that leans more to capitalism rather than communisms. This system leads to accumulation of massive wealth by few members of the population. This is evident between the two nations where most people are in the middle class. The two societies attach value towards economic achievements. Therefore, the in
