final individual cultural diversity course reflection

I am going to talk about my favorite lesions I cultural diversity .

first I am going to about racism because its bad fore nations it dived people and make a lot of hatred
between people also racism killed a lot of people in slavery time for example the framers in brazil.

second discrimination agents' the other sex like in KSA the woman's cant drive cares but in the rest of the world she can drive .

stereotype like jading on a person by his raise . like he is Egyptian he will order from the coffee and he will say i forget my wallet .

I enjoyed filming the first project about our cultural in the UAE village I liked talking to new people
and shirring thoughts and ideas .

I think UAE should have  harmony day because UAE became the new world center so people came her to have a biter life but there is problem because they came from deferent cultural so we
have a harmony day to let people now about etch other cultural so we can now etch other  and live together in harmony and peace.

in conclusion I enjoyed the cultural diversity very much its gave me anew view to life.

Ten Aspects of Cultural Diversity #1

Ten Aspects of Cultural Diversity

These are the ten aspects of cultural diversity which we are going to concentrate on

in this course.

1)   Download Popplet Lite (free app) from the App Store, and then make a Popplet like the diagram below. Put yourself in the centre. Around yourself put the names of six people you know who are notEmirati. Fill in the boxes. What makes them different from you?

2) Define yourself as an Emirati. Write a short paragraph.

Example – I was born in Abu Dhabi and my nationality is Emirati.

My name is Abdulla I’m from the UAE. I was born in Abu Dhabi. I’m 20 years old

I love my country sow much

3)  Now, let’s complete the table below, based on our class discussion:

Main Category	Sub-Category	Example
1. Religion	Hindu, Muslim, Christian	My teacher is a Christian.
2. Ethnicity	American, Indian, Korean	My friend is American
3. Language	English, urdo , Russian	My Drivers speaks urdo
4. Value and belief systems	Demarcates, society, dictatorial	america is democratic
5. Disability	Hearing and speaking	my sister cannot walk
6. Class	teacher, rich and poor	Many Emiratis lives in middle class
7. Gender	Women, men	Most of my friends are males
8. Age	Teenager’s, adults , children's	im an adult
9. Education background	high school , phd and masters	current student in the college
10. Race	Asian , black , white	im Caucasian

*The world population can be divided into 4 major races, namely white/Caucasian, Mongoloid/Asian, Negroid/Black and Australoid. This is based on a racial classification made by Carleton S. Coon in 1962.  There is no universally accepted classification for “race”, however, and its use has been under fire over the last few decades. The United Nations, in a 1950 statement, opted to “drop the term ‘race’ altogether and speak of “ethnic groups”. In this case, there are more than 5,000 ethnic groups in the world, according to a 1998 study published in the Scientific American.
