Yes these issues are constant and on-going here. Things are changing slowly, but it'll take time.

lots of bribes and deals going on under the table. And there are lots of places where they are not using the new technology properly.

Yeah it makes sense, im sure a lot of countries have the same problems. But which of these problems are the worst for the UAE? Other then the corruption/under the table bribes that rudeboy mentioned.

-Environment
Palm - censor ordered

-Product Safety
regional problem

-Workplace Safety
just take a look!

-Sexual Harassment
If your south east asian or former soviet

-Misuse of new technology
IP's blocked by gov

-Human rights
UAE's been used for rendition i think, maids 'fall' out of windows.

-Conflict of interest
Anything anti islamic or critical of the state are crimes so anything is buried.

-Bribes, corruption
less than africa, more than europe.

-Health and well-being
There are lots of gyms, health places but you pine for being able to take walks etc, which you can kinda do now at this time of the year.

-Advertising content
as long as its 'all part of a healthy islamic lifestyle' you cant go wrong.

-Privacy and security of company records
does that exist?

-Treatment of labour (wages, conditions
People are scared to confront the emirati owners so people are making lunchbox campaigns for the starved workers.
