The UAE 's economy is the most diversified in the Gulf and the wider region. There’s no income tax. The gross domestic product is 67,616 dollars US per capita. The country oil and gas reserves are among the richest in the world. Successful efforts at economic diversification have reduced the portion of GDP based on oil and gas output to twenty five percent with a plan to push it to zero within next fifty years (Renewable Energy Prospects: United Arab Emirates p. 30). Low prices of oil have prompted the UAE to take steps to reduce its spending on country wide social programs, including eliminating fuel subsidies in August 2015. The IMF recently praised the vision and fiscal policies adopted by the country that
By the beginning of the second Millennium, many countries realized the need and necessity to cope up with the rest of the rapidly developing world.

Over thousands of years Arab’s and Jewish civilizations have made deep historical roots in Palestine along with many emotional attachments. At the end of the 19th century Arab nationalism and political Zionism were starting to steak claims to the same land. These two groups would start the fire for what will become civil wars, bitter disputes, and lasting relations though the 20th century. The British wanting to break the chocolate and also pick their piece would try to settle disputes in the Middle East so that they could lay claims to the natural resources of the land. In doing this the British would double deal and both sides would be left with nothing (Khouri). The Problems in the Middle East have been going on for centuries creating a large puzzle that will never reveal a picture of harmony.
James Joyce’s narrative “Araby”, contains many microcosmic ideals. The narrative describes, in relation to the Dublin, Ireland of the period, maturity, pubescence, and public life. A.R. Coulthard stated that “Araby” is not a tale a young person’s initiation into adulthood but a “… dramatization of a soul-shriveling Irish asceticism which renders hopes and dreams not only foolish, but sinful.”(97). Coulthard chooses to focus plainly on the religious aspect of the tale and forgo the classic example of a coming of age story.
In Araby, by James Joyce, the story is told by a young boy who has his heart on a girl. The boy’s name is never mentioned in the story and neither is the girls’. Since the narrator is the young boy, his name is never mentioned. In the story, the girl is only mentioned as Mangan’s sister. The point of view, plot, and setting all help make up this story. The narrator in this story is the young boy and he tells the story through his point of view.
In February of 1971, President His Highness Sheikh Azayden bin Sultan AI Nahyan united six states from the United Arab Emirates (“UAE,” 2015). The six states are Abu Dhabi, Ajmna, Dubai, Fijairah, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain. This established the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The next year, United States of America became the third country to establish formal diplomatic relations with UAE. In 1972 the United States established its Embassy in Abu Dhabi which resulted to the very first Hilton Al Ain opening, making this the first US-based international hotel brand to operate in the UAE. Two years later the UAE established its embassy in Washington, DC. UAE and U.S. established a diplomatic bond that holds
Most countries affected by the civil wars have been cut off from any regional connections therefore they weren’t able to attract many of their regular customers. The UAE has taken that to their advantage by reeling in the customers who would normally shop in Egypt, Syria, Tunisia, Libya and Yemen and give them the opportunity to shop in places in the UAE instead of in a dangerous country. This has led to a 10% rise in spending by shoppers affected by the Arab Spring. The United Arab Emirates is known as a modern country with a stable government system that the public seems to respect. Governments from different countries such as Syria have shut down Internet and power connections to avoid the world to see the troublesome county. Because of these barricades, countries such as the United States and England have been keeping a close eye, especially since they cannot export and import products between countries. Perhaps the Middle East would’ve been better off without the Arab Spring.

The economy in the United Arab Emirates has experienced substantial increases in the last 40 years. The UAE’s capabilities with the pearling and oil industries have given the region its necessary budgets to expand so rapidly.

We are all in the same boat, and they are both captain and crew.” -Sheikh Zayed.
The United Arab Emirates (U.A.E) is a federation of seven Emirates that was formed on December 2 1971. It is located between the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman and it is bordered by Saudi Arabia and Oman. The country has a total population of 3,740,000 as of 2004.

Throughout the extent of time in which humans have inhabited the Earth, it has only been in the past couple hundred years that humanity has developed technology at an astonishing rate. From the early 1800s and onward, the human population has skyrocketed and advancements in technology have rapidly progressed through the course of a relatively short period of time. In that time, society has become a massive, interconnected network of people that are dependent on resources that originate from different parts of the world. With the technology of today, society has enabled resources that range from food to oil, to be transported to areas of the world in which those select resources are not available. An extreme example of this would be the city of Dubai, which is part of one of the seven emirates that constitute the United Arab Emirates. Dubai is one of the most impressive and wealthiest cities in the world and is well known for the luxurious lifestyle, extremely modernized architecture, and can be viewed as the epitome of a Westernized society. However, the land of the United Arab Emirates is sandy and barren, and not capable of being used for agricultural purposes, there is no major fresh water supply, and very few natural resources. With the absence of farmland and water, Dubai is a city that depends on the resources found worldwide that are purchased with the revenue from oil exports. Dubai has capitalized on its predominant resources and found
There is a social security regime in the United Arab Emirates that applies to UAE and GCC national employees only. In most of the Emirates, and for a UAE national employee, social security contributions are calculated at a rate of 17.5% of the employee's gross remuneration as stated in the employment contract. Out of the 17.5%, 5% is payable by the employee and the remaining 12.5% is payable by the employer. Dubai's enormous oil revenues mean that the government has no need to raise income through direct taxation. Accordingly, Dubai is a "no tax" emirate characterized by an almost complete absence of taxation. There are no withholding or capital taxes. Speaking in November 2005, the late Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, then Crown Prince of Dubai and the Defense Minister of the United Arab Emirates sought to quash speculation regarding the possible introduction

The Gulf Cooperation Council states (GCC) are heavily dependent on oil to generate economic growth. Oil and natural gas are the two main sources of capital inflow that enters into these countries. GCC countries’ dependency creates economies that are sensitive to any decline in oil prices. After four years of relatively stable oil prices of around $105 per barrel (bbl), a sharp and notable decline occurred in June 2014. In the face of the plummeting oil prices, most GCC countries have cut their spendings to cope with the significant reductions in their revenues.
