Abstract
Qatar can afford to purchase pretty much anything— including top-quality American university education. However, given the vast differences in culture, dress, religion, and social mores, along with youth’s global unemployment rates and their hankering for all things technological, does it make sense for Qatar to import a course in acting? Many academics debate whether bringing Western liberal curricula to Middle Eastern classrooms is a good idea at all, but learning to see and experience the world from other people’s perspectives can be a lesson worth learning.
