This thesis considers the nature and impact of social change on Kuwaiti Society. It begins by giving a detailed account of the origins of Kuwait Society and its economic, political and social structure before the exploitation of the country's enormous oil resources. This is followed by an equally detailed discussion of the changes in the economic, political and social structure that followed the development of the oil resources. Finally, in the first section, the major changes are outlined and the question is posed as to what effect these changes are likely to have on the values and attitudes of the population of the country. The second section begins with a consideration of some of the problems of measuring potential alienation in a society such as Kuwait and reviews some of the major problems of isolating and defining the relevant concepts. The general conclusion is that the micro-social psychological approach to the problem adopted by American social psychologists in the 1960's is the more fruitful way forward. Using the scales of Struening and Richardson levels of alienation in Kuwait are then measured and the results given. Finally, by the application of new scales specifically developed for this study the major dimensions of alienation are related to the particularities of the social structure of modern Kuwait. The conclusion considers the problems of mounting such an investigation in Kuwait, the substantive findings of the study and it indicates future research possibilities.

Master of Science / Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering / Medhat M. Morcos / Solar energy is the energy that is basically obtained from the sun. It is used for purposes of generating electricity by using solar thermal systems of photovoltaic panels. This report discusses the utilization of solar energy in Kuwait for purposes of generating electricity. The report is divided into six chapters. Chapter 1 discusses the introduction, which will be limited to the use of electricity in Kuwait and the possibilities of utilizing solar energy as a renewable source of energy to generate electricity. Chapter 2 discusses the background of the use of solar energy, where the reasons and the advantages of using solar energy are analyzed. Chapter 3 gives an in-depth discussion on solar energy. The generation of electricity from photovoltaic solar panels and solar thermal electricity systems are presented. Chapter 4 discusses the comparison between solar power farm and natural gas with the aid of data from Kuwait. Chapter 5 gives a discussion on the use of solar energy in Kuwait. Chapter 6 includes the conclusions and recommendations for future work.

The richness of my culture is deeply rooted in its history. Its forms change and develop according to the needs of time and place...but its essence is always the same. Its spaces are all defined and limited by boundaries that hold society together and allow development within sets of rules which maintain the general character and the cultural framework of the environment. / Master of Architecture
