Modern Middle East

The modern form of the Middle East is something that many people around the world tend to understand. For instance, many people tend to think that they (Arabs) still live in the old age. This fallacy tends to also be the same thing that's attributed to the modern Middle Eastern world of no expansion and progression. I'll be honest, the governments of the past have definitely had a hand in impeding the growth of certain areas in the Middle East. Nonetheless, there are some nations around the Middle East that have experienced economic growth in the past and they have established more modern infrastructures.

Dubai, for example, is a city in the Middle East however you would never associate it with like a city in Yemen or something. For some reason or another I haven't really been paying attention to the cities in Oman and Yemen and Bahrain and so on and that's only because I really don't know much about them, however that's another story. Nonetheless, Yemen is very old. To think that Dubai and Yemen are in the same region is unbelievable. However they are in the same region and they are inhabited by Muslims.

Middle Eastern societies have enough to deal with on their own. They haven't really been worrying about materialistic (or some cities there) goals and so on. I think that there is a difference between expansion and progression to be able to accommodate a growing population and so on and expansion based on temporary wealth appearance (oil) and see what it can lead to.

Modern Middle Eastern societies have been subject to plenty of wars and occupations in the past. For instance Palestine is a beautiful nation and Jerusalem has been among the centers of world affairs for a very long period. I think that if the Palestinians weren't subject to occupations and war and so on then they would be an advanced and modern society.

There's no doubt that some Middle Eastern nations have adapted to their own particular form of dealings and so on and so they may seem like they are unable to adapt to modern forms of world affairs and attributes. Modern qualities are unique to the already advanced places in the world (Europe and so on) and so the Middle East, whether it's advancing or not, is unable to among the advanced nations around the world because the Middle East is mainly different.
