Palestine is facing challenges to support its Information Communication Technology across its entire educational system. Instruction based on internet is not commonly available. In primary levels, only 21 percent is available, and 24 percent in secondary educational institutions. Both Jordan and Oman have emphasized a strong policy in providing an Information Communication Technology assisted instruction in primary and secondary schools. In Oman, 88 percent of information technology is provided in primary institution, and 97 percent in secondary education.
There are three factors which divide the Arab states digitally. Firstly, division of the Arab world as a whole against other regions, secondly,the large predominantly rural countries against small, resource rich countries, and lastly, the division of the Arab states which includes socio-economic status, urban against rural, culture, and ethnicity. Jordan has the highest rate of both female and male pupils enrolled in programmes about computer assisted instruction among the Arab states. About 84 percent of female pupils are enrolled in primary and secondary levels of education offering a computer assisted instruction.
Teachers are the most important figure on classroom learning in providing the pupils to use Information Communication Technology at its best, inside and outside of the school.

Arab World and Information Communication Technology

Many countries in the Arab states, the children and youth effectively use Information Communication Technology tools out of the schools. In Egypt, during the Arab Spring, youth uses mobile devices and the Internet which is very vital for the development of primary and secondary education. Higher levels of education increases with the Information Communication Technology integration. Children and adults are learning to acquire digital literacy through basic computer skills.

The Arab states like Jordan, Oman, and Qatar have a special approach about the inclusion of basic computer skills at all three levels of primary, lower, and secondary level. But in Egypt and Palestine, covering basic computer skills only begins in lower and upper secondary level, not in primary education. Oman is an Arab state which have a very special approach in the extension of Information Communication Technology in all levels of curriculum and education. Jordan and Qatar have use Information Communication Technology in all subjects, in primary to secondary education.

Telecommunication facilities in schools is generally poor like in Egypt which has a large rural areas. In Qatar, all primary educational institutions have a telephone communication facility. Egypt with its large rural country has a low share of computer regardless of its big allocation, but striving its efforts to extend an Information Communication Technology assisted instruction.

Saudi consumers trust in Internet shopping



There are two factors influence Saudi consumers trust in Internet shopping the most that is the third party recognition and legal framework. Both of these factors are somehow within the control of internet vendors. Consumers must be provided with sufficient protection of internet shopping. The existing of a good legal framework encourages consumers to use online shopping. People must believe in the competence of internet websites that offer interning shopping services. Unfortunately, since most Saudis use Arabic websites, and since those websites are poorly designed, consumers do not get the impression that they are dealing with a competent company. Therefore, this might affect users trust in those websites and make them refrain from buying anything online. In addition, most of the Saudi companies that offer online shopping services are not really reputable. For those companies to succeed in selling online, they need advertise their services focusing on showing how competent and reliable there are. The other factor is third party recognition. Most people in Saudi Arabia do not how internet transactions are done. They therefore do not know about the existence of third party companies that insure the security of the money transfer in online transaction, and issue trust certificates. This lack of recognition could again make customers refrain from buying online. Even if companies are secure, reputable and competent, consumers would have higher incentive to buy if they realize that their transactions are somehow monitored by third party trust-worthy companies. Therefore, if online sellers want to expand their market in Saudi Arabia, they should educate their consumers about the role of third party companies in ensuring the security of online transactions.

Online Shopping Trends in Saudi Arabia

Day by day world is advancing and the technology is developing higher and higher. To tell about online shopping is a platform here people can purchase product or services online using their credit cards or any other e currency. Where people can see lot of products and services at a glance, they can compare in choosing their products or services and these products get home delivery through various hands. Online shopping was introduced in 1981 in UK. But it was introduced in Saudi Arabia in the year 2004.
At online shopping to sell any product there will be always a site and the consumers visit that site to choose which product to buy. Once they decide to buy which item, they move forward to pay for the product. Here the third party of the online shopping comes. They need to highly secure to ensure the security of the data related to your transaction. Otherwise you may find that after purchasing one product from your site, in your credit card or in your bank account there is less money than expected. Because leakage of your banking related information may lead you to a danger to money scamming. And for this reason so far even after being 13 years after getting introduced with online shopping has not made any significant progress in Saudi Arabia.

Dubai culture and Strict Islamic law

People from other parts of the world are the ones who are largely affected by Sharia law since most of them are not used to. They have to adhere to strict Islamic law that is used in Arab countries and therefore making life difficult to those who may have homosexual sexuality. Although there are scholars of the holly book of Quran who have changed their ideology there is still a stiff resistance on many to accept homosexuality. It is believed that sexuality was not originally based on hetero and homo binary, but something which has been shaped in the recent times to fit each side of the argument.
Many leaders have also taken up this subject and politicized it so that they can attract attention of the people. This topic has been used by repressive leaders as away to reject western influence terming it as against their religion. However, those Arab countries with a large percentage of non Muslims such as Syria and Turkey have seen considerable improvement in their perception of sexuality. The subject of Arab Culture and Concept of Sexuality is not something that many people would like to talk about especially women.
Women believe that they have limited rights as compared to their male counterparts. For instance divorce and inheritance law that is applied by many Arab countries favors men and therefore they are marginalized. Also during a wedding a woman is expected to be pure while the males are not subjected to any tests to see whether they are virgins. This is why many people would rather not talk about this subject as long as it touches part of religion as well as the Arabic culture.

Arab Culture and Concept of Sexuality

There are a lot of controversies that have been seen regarding concept of sexuality not only in the Arab culture but in other parts of the world. Arab Culture and Concept of Sexuality has seen dramatic changes over time and with more people opening up on this topic then the trend is not going to change sooner. Many Arab countries are ruled on a religion based law known as Sharia law and therefore sexuality is a critical topic in an Islamic religion. The Islamic religion does not recognize homosexuality and this is one of the reasons there has been slow acceptance to any form of gay or lesbians relationship.
Although it is now inescapable the fact still remain that those who are practicing this kind of sexuality and relationship risk of being discriminated as well as oppressed by both the authorities as well as the society. It is clear that being a lesbian or a gay in an Arab country is a dangerous affair as witnessed in Egypt where there was a crackdown of all homosexual in Cairo. Although there has been a rising number of LGBT movements that are advocating for the right of homosexuals and bisexual there is still a long way for this battle to be won in Arab countries.

Population of women and men in the Middle East

Children is a significant character in the family. They bring joy and fullfillment for parents, and young couples want to have children after marriage. Many young man and woman in the Middle East countries, in particular in urban areas engage in sexual relations and have a temporary marriages which is known as urfi in Egypt, Lebanon, and Iran. At present time, urfi marriages among young urban people are secrets which means limited legal protection for women and children.

Middle East countries have a growing population of people in late teens and early twenties. Seventeen million of youth aging 15 to 24 lives in Egypt, and is growing by 2050. Half of these youth are young women who are at risk of an unintended pregnancy who need a health provider for safe motherhood and avoid unintended pregnancies in the region.

An increased population of women and men in the Middle East region are using contraception because of the immediate availability of family planning services. Half of married women in Iran, Egypt, and Yemen use a modern contraceptive method.

For various reasons, women from poor family have an unintended pregnancy compared to a wealthy women. Poor woman cannot decide independently about using contraceptive method because they have less access to family planning information and services. In general, educated women  become pregnant later compared to those who are less educated. They are well informed about family planning services.

In most Arab countries, majority of women reported that their husbands have the final say for the contraceptive method. The national survey in Egypt revealed that 26 percent of women stopped contraceptive method after using it for 12 months., and 8 percent use another method. Twenty nine percent who are using the method became pregnant because of contraceptive failure with the method itself.

Oral contraceptive are 100 percent effective when properly managed. Male condoms, even with proper use all the time, sometimes fail because breakage. IUD's and sterilization can be seen 100 percent effective. The Family Planning Program provided by the Iranian government is such in a high level of planning program. Among married women, using contraception, trusted pill, 23 percent preferred
female sterilization, and 4 percent have a husband who has been sterilized.

An international data from 14 Arab countries revealed that an increase of 2 percent of contraceptive prevalence would result in decreased fertility, from 37 births per woman to 3.3 births per woman, and almost 3,500 decreased maternal deaths.

Quality of Family planning programs in middle East

It can also be a pathway against poverty and improve the quality of the country's development goals. Contraception is one of the family planning services which most women in the Arab region preferred.

According to a national survey in the region, most married woman prefer to avoid pregnancy, and are using a family planning method, while other woman avoid pregnancy for at least two years but not using a family planning method. And these women are at risk of having unintended pregnancies. Pregnancies like these can damage the health and well being of woman, and oftenly a great burden against the health systems and socioeconomic goals of the country.

Modern Dubai Culture and Islamic Values

People from Dubai treasure their culture well through generations and this is how they have managed to have a distinct culture even in the error where many people from different parts of the world have settled and integrated with Arabs from this country. People of this region also treasure the family which is comprised of both the nuclear and extended members as well. Marriages in the family are arranged between parties and this is not prohibited in the Islamic religion.  Wedding celebrations is conducted on the Islamic platform where meals and entertainment follow the traditions of the Arabic culture.
There are also traditional sports that are still conducted in this big city such as camel competition and riding of horses. This does not in any way interfere with the religion and this is not a religious matter. Some of the things that are also similar to Islamic value include polygamy where a husband is hallowed to marry many wives and the Islamic teachings allow up to four wives. When it comes to reconciliation mechanism in Arabic culture of the people of Dubai is through mediation.
This is also advocated in the values of Islam and people are urged to employ the use of dialogue while trying to solve problems that they may have. The use of healing rituals is also common in the Arabic culture of people of this city. Although this culture is slowly dying due to the modernization of medical healing this is one aspect of culture that you will still find being practiced by people of this city. Therefore we see how culture and religion can function together and more specifically in the Arabic culture and Islamic religion.
   

Compare Dubai culture and Islamic values

When you first land in Dubai what you will notice is that this city is deeply rooted in the Islamic religion and culture. It is difficult for one to differentiate the culture of the people of Dubai with that of the Islamic religion. Although there are several things that can only be identified with Dubai culture many of them can be traced to Islam. Food and drinks that people of this city consider as their traditional heritage is what many other Arabic speaking nations will also consider as their traditional meals.
Some of the culture that you will easily notice in Dubai is that of hospitality where the native people of this city has welcomed people from almost every part of the world. This to some extent is borrowed from Islamic values of tolerance of other and to a greater extent being compared to each other. When you visit this city you will notice that many natives will welcome you with a cup of coffee which is their symbol of welcoming their guest. The concept of friendship is highly advocated in Islamic religion and to a larger extent in the culture of Arabic heritage.

High standard security condition in Dubai

This involves use of technology to create scenes of crimes, accident or even other scenes that police may face while executing their daily mandate. With these games police force is able to be mentally prepared on what can occur and how they are supposed to respond. This method of training is one of the most efficient ways that has successfully been used in other developed countries to improve performance of their police. While it is impossible to place trainees in real life scenes due to their safety these virtual games gives new recruits a touch of what they are going to encounter later when they are sent in the field.
This way they become prepared mentally and physically thereby maintaining high standard security condition for resident and visitors of this city. Another thing that is important to note on Dubai police force is the equipment that they are given. With increase of illicit weapons in many Arabic countries the police force must be well equipped to deal with elements of crimes that come with such illicit weapons.
They have vehicles that can match those of criminals and law breakers and this is why the level of security in the city has remained to be something that cannot be doubted. The different department in the police force of Dubai is cable of dealing with small crimes such as swearing and quarrels to big crimes such as terrorism, drug trafficking as well as money laundering. Therefore for those who may be living in this city they can rest assured that the skills that these police force has is up to the standard.

Dubai Police and Dubai Policies

A country with good security policies is indeed a safe country to visit since you can be assured of your safety. Although maintain total security can be something hard to accomplish there is no doubt that the level of safety measures that Dubai police have put in place is of high standard and you can be assured safety while in this city of UAE. Indeed the police force of this city is regarded as the best in Arabic countries in terms of equipments and training that they undertake. The personnel who are employed in the police force are highly educated people and therefore they have a good chance to combat with sophisticated criminals and know how to defeat them.
There is a good commanding channel on all level of security apparatus. The police forces have various departments that are headed by separate chiefs who report directly to the general commander of the police. All this is done to ensure that police can focus on their specialty and they can serve the people of this city in a better way. Training of police force is something that authorities of this city cannot afford to compromise on and this is why this force has remained to be the best. Employment of simulation training is something that many forces in Arabic countries are yet to employ but in Dubai this is something that has already been incorporated on training of their police. 

IELTS, TOEFL and ESL in Saudi Arabia

Many tutors who help resident of this country to learn are foreigners who mainly come from Arabic countries that are well conversant with English language such as Egypt. Those students at high school level are able to learn Basic English such as vocabulary, reading, and composition so that they can have an idea on how to connect the words in English. Constructing sentences in English is the foundation of understanding the language well and this is where students start to understand speaking and reading in English.
After learning all this in high school it is now easier for student to speak and write in English without any problem but they have yet to become professionally speakers in this language. To refine the skills in English there are professional courses that are undertaken offered by tertiary institution in Saudi Arabia and tested by international bodies like TOEFL and ESL that help in practice and enhance professionalism of this language. The world being a global village requires a person with English skills so that they can be able to execute various mandates without any hitches.
People have embraced technology which connects them to other people in the world and English is among languages that are widely used to communicate. There are many online institutions that also student in Saudi Arabia could find easier to learn and master this language. United kingdom through the British council in the country also help and offer English classes to adults and ensure that they sit for examination which test them to make sure that they have fully qualified to speak and write on this foreign language. Therefore it does not matter on the level of your English skills as you can master this language even if you don’t have any experience on the language.

English Education in Saudi Arabia

It is important for a person to know how to read and write for easy communication with other parties in work places as well as other social places. English for instance is one of the world most spoken languages and it is finding its way in Asia where this language was only left for scholars and elite class. There are many international companies that are being set up in Saudi Arabia and those with English language qualifications have a high chance of securing a job in multinational institution based in Saudi Arabia.
Also, apart from increasing chances of employment opportunities learning English can also be important in helping you to improve speaking, writing and listening skills that can be of beneficial in so many ways. This means that you can get entertained not only on your native language but also in English language. Many films and programs are scripted in English and therefore those who may not understand this language may find it difficult to enjoy such entertaining movies. In Saudi Arabia English education is offered in various institutions and therefore it is not a problem to learn the language.
