Events in the Middle East


5. An observation or commentary that links ideas and questions from our course with issues relevant to your professional major and/or learning that you are carrying out in professional major courses.

Since learning about the Middle East, and being in the Event Management major I have realized how different the world is there, and how their customs can have an effect on events or weddings in that part of the world. Event Management is all about hospitality and giving the client what he/she wants. Because of this you need to know all of the traditions and customs that each part of the world holds, especially when it is related to their religion. If I were to plan a wedding in the Middle East, or somewhere that they have highly practiced religious values I would need to take extra precautions and make sure I do not do anything wrong that may affect their event, or come across as rude to anyone. 

Overall, planning an event anywhere requires knowledge and learning about the culture there, but I feel like in the Middle East and places with strong customs you must take extra precautions!
