The expectations are called A. Roles.

Explanation:

A role refers to the position an individual carries within society, which comes with certain expectations. Since the individual carries a certain status with this role, there is a definition of what are appropriate and inappropriate behaviors regarding his/her position.

For example, a school principal has a high status and position within the school community. He/she is required to set a good example for the community so there are expectations regarding an appropriate behavior such as providing support to the staff, for example. An inappropriate behavior would be engaging in illicit acts, for example.

the arab empire adopted the muslim religion as their main belief. arabs would influence the people from the territories they invaded towards islam (the muslim belief).

nevertheless, throughout the history of the arab empire, rulers brought intellectual individuals from other religions to their centers of learning. these other foreigners included jews, christians, greeks, persians, and indians.   these resulted in the adoption of important knowledge developed by these cultures by the arabic empire. for example, the works of aristotle were translated from greek to arab and indian scientists brought the numerical concept of "zero" to the arabs.

nowadays, 93% of the arab population is muslim, which at the same time is subdivided in sects including the sunni, zaini, alawi, shia. the remaining 7% is composed mainly of christians.
