Wasta, the use of connections for personal gain is a widespread phenomenon that affects all aspects of our lives
We often hear this word in our everyday Arabic speech but on the other hand we rarely hear it in English to the extent that most English Language graduates do not know what the English equivalent for the Arabic word Wasta is .To
them and may be to most of the readers here , this word could be new. This may be due to the fact that the American and the British do not believe in Wasta and in their societies your position
or post should be based on your merits and
no preference or favourtism is shown to relatives who may not deserve it
The words clout or cronyism may mean that but they are not as precise as the word in the audio file
To know what this word is & how it was originatd , just listen to the attachment
I hope you like the topic
My Regards.
