The uk's exit from the eu and political upheavals in egypt, tunisia, libya, and syria illustrate uncertainties in the political/legal segment of the general environment that could affect the performance of business firms. a. true b. false

True

Explanation:

Most of international business is done through contracts between countries or groups of countries. The Brexit (UK´s exit from the European Union) could mean that Europe may not be able to accomplish import/export quantities of British origin products in its international contracts with other countries or regions.

Social and political instability in mid-east countries like Tunisia, Libya, and Syria (oil exporting countries) may also mean that companies cannot reach their goals; for example, oil supplying companies performance could be reduced if a counter party takes the control of these countries, new rulers shall not release oil to companies which signed contracts with previous rulers.

the arab empire adopted the muslim religion as their main belief. arabs would influence the people from the territories they invaded towards islam (the muslim belief).

nevertheless, throughout the history of the arab empire, rulers brought intellectual individuals from other religions to their centers of learning. these other foreigners included jews, christians, greeks, persians, and indians.   these resulted in the adoption of important knowledge developed by these cultures by the arabic empire. for example, the works of aristotle were translated from greek to arab and indian scientists brought the numerical concept of "zero" to the arabs.

nowadays, 93% of the arab population is muslim, which at the same time is subdivided in sects including the sunni, zaini, alawi, shia. the remaining 7% is composed mainly of christians.
