Research Paper on Pakistan :: essays research papers

PAKISTANI chose to do my research on the customs and lifestyles of Pakistan and their people. It took me quite a while to get in tinct with someone who lives there, but once I finally did, I made a friend for life I was very curious how the Pakistanis felt about Americans, and if I could get an honest answer from someone there. My friend Hussain assured me that although there argon extremists, just as there are everywhere, who take their hatred for America, and for any other country that they feel threatened by, and use it to destroy innocent peoples lives. For instance, like the suicide bombers that we hear of so often, they would be considered extremists. As far as the common people as Hussain put it, they understand that our government (meaning President Bush and his administration) is doing what must be done in order to protect the citizens and/or the common people of America. I didnt catch as much time to correspond with Hussain before this research idea was due, as I would h ave liked too, I look forward to continue learning about the lifestyles and customs there. Its amazing to learn how contrary peoples lives are depending on what culture they live in. I had so many questions for Hussain, but I was also afraid that I would decease my boundaries by asking certain questions, therefore I tried to be very careful in the way I worded things. Its very tripping to tell even through an e-mail that he has a very distinct accent, however, he does speak good English. He told me that he was married and had 3 children. He was born in Sindh, Pakistan, which I later found out that Sindh is a State like Oklahoma. He got his education and graduated in 1991. (He did not say whether or not that meant high school, or college) He was married in 1994, through an arranged marriage. His parents picked out this young lady for him, and he said that through time, he did learn to love her very much, and that he was grateful to have a success story. He did say, however, that h is wife was not educated, and therefore it was difficult for her to do anything, as far as working, outside the home. She stays home with the children. His oldest son is in the 3rd grade, and the younger two have not yet started school.
