Proper nounPlural - From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The Middle East (or, formerly more common, the Near East) is a region that spans southwestern Asia, southeastern Europe, and northeastern Africa. It has no clear boundaries, often used as a synonym to Near East, in opposition to Far East. The corresponding adjective to the Middle East is Middle-Eastern and the derived noun is Middle-Easterner. The history of the Middle East dates back to ancient times, and throughout its history the Middle East has been a major centre of world affairs. The Middle East is also the historical origin of three of the world’s major religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Middle East generally has an arid and hot climate, with several major rivers providing for irrigation to support agriculture in limited areas. Many countries located around the Persian Gulf have large quantities of crude oil. In modern times the Middle East remains a strategically, economically, politically, culturally and religiously sensitive region. From Wikipedia under the

Answered by Hamburglar - Wed Apr 29 00:24:24 2009 What would happen to the Middle East if the rest of the world found a replacement for oil? Q. If some alternative sources of fuel were developed or found, and the world no longer needed fossil fuels...how would that affect the Middle East and other oil producing areas?

They also have other incentives...pay your rent, reimburse for tickets, etc. Of course there will be cultural adjustments, isn't that way you want to go there to teach, to learn a new culture? Good luck, I loved my experience, I hope that you do also. Answered by Dee W - Mon Mar 2 12:48:46 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Middle East" See also:
