MIDDLE EAST


My group, Maria Fernanda Piña, Natalia Suarez with jme presented  the region of Middle East.Our presentatrion was marked by information of the economy, religion, politics, women situation, culture. In short the presentacion exhibited  key informtuion of the region without loosing the interest in the main topic: culture

Some key facts:
Total Area is 6’018.933 km2 
hot climate with  many arid lands 
fresh weather in the Mediterranean coast
Four major rivers: Tigris, the Euphrates, the Jordan and the Nile
four important seas: he Mediterranean Sea, The Red Sea, the Arabian Sea and The Caspian Sea
deserts: The Syrian desert, the Arabian desert, the South Iranian desert and the Saharan desert”. 
GDP per capita:  USD 11.021,899
Inflation rate: 15,8% (2008)


we found everybody was hugely interested listenning us during the presentation and that was very exiting.

The question:
Is there any change in real terms in the situation of the Middle East women? 
"Women in the Arab region can no longer be described as scared, inferior,
domestic women who hardly leave their houses. Recently, women hold ministerial and
parliamentary positions, they run businesses and sit as presidents in national
universities. Women in the Arab region are increasingly entering the work force and
rising to managerial positions. A working Arab woman is thus no longer an exception,
but rather a growing trend. In general, the Arab region is under close attention from all
over the world and Arab societies are currently in a state of confusion. Rapid changes,
the impact of westernization and modernization are contributing to this state of
confusion. Arabs seem to be in a futile search for a new identity that will not contradict
their deeply rooted traditions and at the same time connect them to the future and
development."
