UAE is one of the richest countries in the world and all that because of the oil. Some people think life before oil in UAE was better and some people think the opposite. In this essay I am going to discuss whether life in UAE is better now then in the past.
Some people think that life before oil was better. The first reason is that life was much cheaper. For example in the past 12 eggs was worth 1 dirham, but today it is worth 16 dirham. Another reason is that life needs were simple. For example nowadays you need car to go to your work and a telephone to communicate with other people. However in the past if you wanted to get to your work you could ride a donkey or to take a walk. Yet another reason is that life before oil was much healthier. There were not that many cars, factories or buildings, so there was no pollution.
Some peoplethink life is much better after the oil. The first reason is that without the oil most people would be uneducated. For example, our college spends at least 1 million a year. This I think was the budget for whole UAE before oil. Another reason is that without oil the world would not recognize the UAE. For example Dubai build the tallest tower in the world and Guinness book of world record mention that in their books and people read Guinness book of world record mention all over the world, so we will be recognized. Yet another is that without oil UAE will be just a desert not like today . Nowadays every month or two there is a building, a malls or a park and all that because of the oil.
In conclusion, I think life after oil is much better because it make us explore every thing that happened in the world. Whether people like that or not without oil we are nothing.
