History

Answer:

The early 20th century was a crucial point for the development of the Middle East. Prior to 1950, the region exhibited low levels of socioeconomic development; however, the discovery of vast oil reserves catalyzed the rapid creation of wealth. In particular, the economies of oil-rich countries were transformed from largely agricultural to rentier economies. Rentier economies derive a substantial part of their revenue from the outside world, and the accruing of external revenues (also called rents) are allocated and redistributed.

Since then, modern Arab oil-exporting economies have become heavily dependent on oil. Hydrocarbon and government activities account for the majority of total GDP in nearly every Middle Eastern country. In Libya, for instance, non-oil and non-governmental activities account for just over 0.16% of the GDP. Likewise, oil accounts for 80% of total exports in half of the oil-exporting economies. [1]

Given this dependence, it’s not surprising that the economies of these oil exporting countries are significantly tied to the price of oil itself. Between 2014 and 2015, caused by a combination of declining global demand and a rapid increase in the production of American shale oil, the price of oil collapsed.This piece explores how the dramatic reduction in oil prices affected the economic and political structures within the Middle East. To do so, this piece will analyze the effects of the 2014-2015 reduction in three countries: Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Iraq. In particular, the analysis will explore the pre-2014 economic conditions, how the economies were affected during the period of low oil prices, and what political and economic changes have occurred since.Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest petroleum exporter and home of 18 percent of the world’s oil reserves, depends greatly on the price of oil. [3] Its economic, domestic, and foreign policies are all intimately connected with petroleum, and the drastic decrease in the price of oil in 2014-2015 has had significant effects on the country’s domestic policies, as well as the future implications for regional politics and markets.

Self control and discipline are expressed in this quote

Explanation:

The essence of Zen is attempting to understand the meaning of life directly, without being misled by logical thought or language. Self discipline and control are central part of Buddhism and the first step is to control one's  mind through meditation and other techniques that involve mind and body; to give up logical thinking and avoid getting trapped in a spider's web of words.

Serving twenty-five consecutive terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, Carl Vinson was credited for helping to strengthen n
mafiozo [28]

Carl Vinson was extremely supportive of the US Navy in their roll of defense, however, though this is the case he never favored the financial gain of under US military branches to aggregate the Naval funds at the time. So the first answer, answer A, if false. Though Carl Vinson was pro Navy, this didn't mean that the Navy could start retiring it men, the number stayed roughly the same, because of course we had people actually retiring or enlisting. This makes option B false.  Other nations were always a threat, maybe no apparent to the US but seeing how the United States reacts to situations, this is a gross understatement. Option C is false. His efforts DID in fact help naval expansion needed in order to defend Pearl Harbor during attack. Option D is correct.
