Oil in the Middle East

These Images represent the Middle East tapping into their large reserves of Oil. The top image is of a modern day company in Saudi Arabia mining for oil, while the bottom image is a dramatization from the movie Day of the Falcon, which is based on the unification of Middle East Tribes on Oil. This image is a good representation of globalization because we see companies from outside the country helping the country take full advantage of the resources that they have available to them. Because of the discovery of Oil in the Middle East the countries in the area have been able to make a large profit off the land they have, which has given them a more prominent role in the world stage. We see because of this increase in income they have been able to boost their economy and better their lives by being able to import things that would normally not be available to them in large quantities. This can show how globalization can help people around the world take advantage of the resources available to them and improve their situation from a seemingly bad dealt hand.
