Answer:
The former Soviet Union is influenced by the consumer culture of the West.
Explanation:
The former Soviet Union was a communist country that had a command economy. This type of economy meant that the economy is closed to the world and people had no choice when it came to consumption, but only what the government decided they will consume. With the fall of the Soviet Union, this changed, at least in most parts.
Most of the countries that emerged from the Soviet Union have transformed or are still transitioning toward open market economies. This opened up the economies which resulted in a lot of foreign investments, fascilities, and brands coming to these markets. Being totally restricted until then, when people suddenly had an opportunity to choose what they want to buy and consume, they jumped on it. Very soon a consumer culture, typical for the West has developed. This can not be said about the likes of Belarus, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan though, as they are still closed to the world.
The oil and the water are two most crucial resources that dictate the economy and the politics of the Middle Eastern region.
The oil is the natural resources that brings almost all of the income for the countries of the Middle East. They have abundance of oil reserves, and as a region, they are the largest producer of it. So changes in the oil prices, and ending of the reserves of it would mean a disaster for this region. The economies will crumble, and the politics will have to change drastically.
The water is very scarce in the Middle East, as the region is mostly dominated by deserts and semi-arid areas. While some countries have some reliable sources of water, though not much, some like the countries on the Arabian Peninsula do not have a single freshwater source, so they transform the salt water into drinking water. The balance with the water resources and the population are right on the line, so bigger changes in a short period of time in the demographics can lead to lack of water and a real disaster for these countries.
