Abstract
At the Introduction Al-Kahtany says “In this century, where means of communication and transportation have gone beyond all expectations, cross-cultural awareness has become widespread. And with the collapse of communism and consequently the Soviet Union and many other communist countries, many proposals are being presented urging the adoption of universal laws, values and morals to govern relationships among the peoples of the world”. Then he follows up saying “Recently, the idea of a so-called New World Order was proposed through the United Nations in order to prescribe values and impose laws on people of various cultures.” To question “whose values, laws and ways of life are they going to adopt?” To answer “Of course the American way of life will become the only choice presented, because the United States is, presently, the only superpower among all the nations of the world, as well as the largest financial contributor to the United Nations”.
