If a company has a bad reputation for poor products, for example, that can affect sales overall\u00a0and the companies share price. Even though the staff might be super talented. The product may not even be that bad, they just may be poorly\u00a0marketed,\u00a0or may be outdated. The there may be great foundations to that company, with strong vision and values.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This can happen a country too.\u00a0<\/h3>\n
For the first time, we are seeing signs that the vision of the country is been listened to internationally, and the talents of\u00a0its\u00a0people are being appreciated on a level playing field. We are seeing a country putting\u00a0its\u00a0people, the\u00a0economy, and their well-being\u00a0first. Why not support it, get behind it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Supporting what’s happening in Saudi Arabia doesn’t mean that change needs to be 360 degrees. Most of what makes Saudi\u00a0great is the people and culture that already exist. Understanding that first, and be receptive to that fact that not everything needs to change.\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Stop The Negative Agenda<\/h3>\n
Why does western\u00a0media have to have an agenda against the Middle East?\u00a0<\/p>\n
For many years\u00a0 Saudi Arabia’s reputation has been bashed about in western media because of political and human rights topics. Any attempt to understand\u00a0either hasn’t seen the light of day. So much of what’s published has a negative slant, it would be refreshing to see neutral or even positive reports about Saudi Arabia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
