Life in the UAE

Every country’s lifestyle has changed. One big change has happened in the UAE since the discovery of the oil. If you take a good look at some pictures of the UAE before and after the oil, you will notice the revolutionary changes that happened and how it changes many people lives. Some people agree that the life in the UAE was much better before the discovery of oil and the others disagree.

In the past the life was better than it is today. One reason to clarify this point of view is simplicity. In the past, life was much less stressful, easy living and although the jobs were very difficult and dangerous, they were simple. Another reason is the social life. People used to know every one in the neighborhood and they visited each other on the different occasions. Yet another reason that some people think that the life was better than it is today is the culture. In the past there was not many cultures mixed together in the UAE, although there were people from outside of the country, but now the UAE has become one of the many mixed global cultural villages all around the world.

Some people don’t agree that the life was better than it is today. One reason is the new revolutionary technologies. The new inventions make our lives easier by the time it’s developing. Another reason is transportation. People in the past used to move from place to another by camels, horses, old slow cars and even donkeys and it took them a long time to travel, but today the ways of transportation vary. We have the fastest and comfortable ways of transportations, such as airplanes, cars, huge ships and the fastest trains. Yet another reason is the social life. In the past when someone traveled to a far place they could not contact him, instead they had to wait until he came back, but now, by the new development in the communication sector, we can reach and contact with anyone we want any time and wherever he is.

To sum up, life in the past was simple and beautiful, but the life now it much easier. I cannot think how did the people in the past survive the harsh life they used to live. I think the life now even with pressures on us it much better than the life before.
