In my opinion the world today is much better than it was fifty years ago, in many ways due to, technology, civil rights and medical breakthroughs.

Deviant Behavior In Saudi Arabia, a woman is not allowed to vote. She is also not allowed to operate a vehicle. In that country, a woman's status is below a man and she is not able to obtain the same equal rights as her male counterparts. This leads me to believe that the people of Saudi Arabia still believe a woman's place is in the home and she needn't be afforded any extra rights.
