#2 Something that never ceases to amaze is how SA is so "classically" conservative. That is, conservative by the pure definition of the word: very hesitant to change.

However, that being said, change is relative. So success or failure in SA is based on how you conform to the status quo, *whatever* the status quo can be. That is, the status quo is just the mid point to change, so is also relative.

This means that the hold on power of either reactionaries or liberals is tenuous at best.

#4 Because Saudi women are not permitted to mix with unrelated men, must have a male guardian and are not permitted to drive, there are huge limitations on their employment opportunities.
