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

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.
