Sheikha Al Mayassa: Globalizing the local, localizing the global

Sheikha Al Mayassa

Sheikha Al Mayassa from Qatar delivers a powerful speech about how the Arab region needs to preserve their cultural identify now more than ever in these rapdily developing times. She expresses that modernizing Arab nations is important, but we must maintain our culture and sense of individualism. I particularly like her closing line, "familiarity destroys and trumps fear".
