Abstract
Middle east is not a precise geographical term. It’s come from Eurocentrism and its full of superiority. It states which areas the western countries have entered in the east direction, and the problems arisen from these areas which western counties need to solve. Britain has so-called “Orientalism” and “Oriental Problem”, which means to solve the problem of the Ottoman Empire, deeply means how to cut apart and distribute the emprise to extract maximum benefits. Nowadays, conflicts have constantly occurred worldwide. Indeed, conflicts are unavoidable in every society. However, no place experiences more disputes than the Middle East region. The Middle east is always a hot regional issue that has lasted for the longest time since the end World War II. Over the past 70 years, the Middle East has been a center of tension, uncertainty, and insecurity. Why the ancient human civilization always at conflict in modern times? This paper will analyse the Middle East, describe the root causes of conflict in the Middle East and provide solutions to the conflicts in the Middle East.
