Ethnocentrism

Ethnocentrism

In the most in every society there are an ethnocentrism, it divided to many isms will explain five samples of isms and they are Racism, Ageism, Classism, Sexism, and Ableism, that means the society divided between the people by specific ism.

However, first, the Racism is the society divided between the people depends on the skin color, values, nationality and qualities. We can see this kind in many places in the world for example in USA the racism between the white and black people, also in UAE in the work there are some racism by the nationality.

 Second, the Ageism is discrimination or unfair treatment based on a person’s age. Also that happen the workplace (experience) the people divided between the people by the age also in UAE sometime especially in  the Majles the old people always true and if said something wrong.

Third, the Classism is distinctions made between social or economic classes. It's spread too much in India, there are three class of people start from the poor to the rich class, and the society deal together depend in your class.

Fourth, the Sexism Is distinguished on the basis of gender and inequality men and women and the benefits received by the man without a woman or vice Vera. Moreover, the clearest example is India and Asia like China and Thailand, because you can how they are divided between women and men especially in the work and study, also before in the UAE before the united.

Fifth, the Ableism is a discrimination or social prejudice against people with disabilities. This kind of ism is scarce to find it because it depend in the behavior of the society.

In conclusion, the ethnocentrism is a dangerous think and a big problem so should every country elimination on the isms because it's the basic of the most problem in the world, in the UAE the isms is not spread too much and that from the people of the UAE.

Cultural Diversity Course Reflection

Cultural Diversity Course Reflection

They are many subjects in my semester and one of this subject is my Cultural Diversity, before start the cultural diversity subject I think it’s hard and no benefits from this subject because it's just talk about culture and I think our culture is the best in the world. However, after studying this subject and my teacher explain the component of the course I understand it's too much important for us, especially in my country because many cultures from the world meeting in my country.

We take many classes in this course but of course there are some classes different from other, like when saw the movie about Todd that’s very interesting because its learn us many think in same time, give us an example of cultural diversity when it talk about USA and India cultures. Also, the first class in the course is different because it was the first class in the semester, so we meet each other at first time and the most didn't know the other. Moreover, I had a sense that the class we present a presentation is different because it was the first time in the semester work in team like one person and every one responsible about this presentation.

It's too important to learn this subject because it show how the world is different and there are many cultures in the world and they are not same, however this learn us about the other cultures and every one should know about other culture to increase their knowledge and know how to deal with the other, don’t forget UAE is cultures meeting place.

There are no specific age to learn them this subject, because it's cultural subject and every one should learn it for the knowledge, when this apply in the young people they get the information clear and understand more, so the society will be elegant.

Some country have a harmony day like Australia and Singapore each year, imagine if UAE doing harmony day the society will be happy more, and that make a thick relations between the people and the people will celebrated like the national day.

In conclusion, UAE is a famous region in the gulf of cultures meeting place so its very important for the society to study like Cultural Diversity subject because it helpful to know about the other.

Outsourced "Reflection"

Outsourced "Reflection"

Every country have their culture and it different from place to other place, in this reflection will see the outsourced and how the expat person shock from other the culture so this reflection will talk about movie, its compare between USA and India Cultural Dimensions and how they are too different also will give examples from the movie of Hofstadter  Power Distance and Individualism.

The main character named Todd and he work in company in USA and his boss want to transfer him to other branch in India with out take by him opinion so that he traveled to India, while he moving to India he think their culture will be the same culture of USA and the people are develop, so when he reach India he shock when see what happen in airport and how people live their, after that he want to  back to USA and care one more day in India but the boss ignore him when he called him. How ever, Todd see no way to back to USA so he try to adapt with the people their, first two days at the work Todd didn't make any success because he not discuss with staffs like USA style in work (no discuss with the boss) so after that he make meeting with the staffs and then make success. That main the USA culture is high power distance because it show us the people in that culture is not equal and the most time you can't discuss with your boss just do it what he say. How ever, in India we see the opposite of what see in USA, in India in general the people there are work as equal so they discuss with each other and see that when Todd make a success with his staffs because of discuss and the staffs can talk with their boss. Moreover, the USA society  individualism society so we know that from the boss when he take him decision to moving Todd to India so this society loose the connection with each other and weak sharing of responsibilities in the country. While in India so the collectivism society, so always they work as a group and large amount of loyalty and respect for members of the group.

In the end, the boss for Todd visit India to meet Todd and ask him should travel to china without discuss, so Todd shock because the high power distance is back.

Reflection for Emirati film

Reflection for Emirati film

First of all, we start the film by following the rubric and divided the work between the team, so as a start it’s good start and we think it’s hard for us to do it, because that was the first time we doing a film. Moreover, I take three parts in the film and they are “Explain your Emirati culture by describing the use of at least four cultural artifacts”, “Reflect on how much Emirati culture has changed in forty years” and “Ask some tourists about what their culture is most famous for”, so the interview is the hardest thing because when I make the interview with the tourist I find that they not now English and sometime they not understand the question well. However, the good in this experience is taught as how to break the shy cover and that’s very important, also work as a team and follows the leader. On the other hand, the bad thing is not all the team present well for the film especially the information and psychosomatic. In the final, I learn many things from this experience and give a hope to doing better next time, and think in what should add it to the film to make it perfect.
