       It's about Arab Gulf super-cars noise and local resident complain that street used as a race circuit. Locals need to sleep because they have children to sleep and work to do every morning but the noise stop them from getting sleep. As a result, they have bad mode at work which effect their efficiency of the production.

     super-sport car to        UK








     












 How \ why are the worldview between young male Saudis and Kuwaits different than young Emiraties? " Explain" 




          It's efferent because young Emiraties controlled by I/G so they learned that when you visit foreign countries, he should be nice and polite to them. Also our government always said "you should be respectful to other countries while you visit them because you reflect the flag of our nation. On the other hand, Saudis and Kuwaitis, the reason why they are doing this  for my opinion are the pressure on them from their governments about the freedom, and the happiness of showing off. These two factor lead them to do such these inappropriate behavior .

World Views Exercise #2

 World Views Exercise #2 – Cultural Reading + WViews quiz



Week#4 – World Views Exercise #2 – Cultural Reading + WViews quiz

 chosen article ‘Dress Code' .




 The conflict

This article analyse the conflict of dress code between locals and expatriates. It shows how locals are angry from how foreign people dress which unacceptable in UAE culture without any knowing from these people about locals feelings.As a result, it creates a chain of  negative charges between two side which can lead to high risk of conflict for a long term .





  The basis/ the cause of the problem

             the cause of this problem is lack of understanding the culture which lead to conflict. It is unacceptable to wear dress that make chest are appear or wearing transparent clothes and nudity at the beach . Both side blamed. locals needs to know that these people when they dress tight and short , they doing it in there home with out any shame because it is normal in there countries. Also expatriates need to aware that they are in Muslim country and Muslim locals are sensitive with these clothes.
         



       The cultural View

        the cultural View(s) (I/G; H/S; P/F) behind the conflict is H/S because UAE culture consider who wear like foreign people as a shame. They shamed people who wear tight clothes or short or chest appear because this is what they leaned from first day of their life. Because of lack of understanding culture most foreign people did not recognize the problem until they read newspaper or saw news on TV channel . Foreign people considered that as a normal behavior because most of them came from I/G .

         Best solution 
    
     the best solution is to unite all governments to educate their people about other culture staring from primary school, ending with high school. Also every airline can form brochure about their culture and give it to foreign visitors . In addition, every country can print their opinion on how to act in their culture and what they like and don't like in their country.



B. My  WorldViews quiz

     By analyzing worldview below it result that, I'm open minded man with no P/F as it shown in my world view quiz. which is total of 4, So it is barely effect me because in this amazing country "UAE", they stay away from that concept and giving freedom and safe environment to residents. As it shown below H/S has total of 7 which can effect me. Shame is enormous thing in my culture every one rear that . I rather die than get shame my self in front of my family and my society. I/G ,total of 11, is the one who control my life. I was born with multicultural around me so our culture effected by other cultures. I know the meaning of right are wrong, and i respect the law that our government put it in UAE system

Exercise #1 Bullfighting

Exercise #1- 

Exercise #1                                               Bullfighting                                                         


Bullfighting is one of the famous event in the world. It's a traditional spectacle of Spain and other many countries such as , Portugal, southern France and some Hispanic American countries Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Peru.The huge event is starting with the running with the bull and cause injury to the runner, "which is high risk and can lead to kill", ending with fighting these poor animals and killing them inappropriate way. Spain people consider it as sport event and art but the visitors have different opinion than locals. Locals think that what there are doing is part of there culture which lead to make people brave and people with no fear. I disagree with them, it's unacceptable because it is murder. So you don't have to run with the bull to prove your courage. i will never and ever run with the bulls because it makes no sense. Also i hate the idea of watching bullfight.
Actually, it's hard to change some one traditions because for them it is a value thing, and if you try to say your opinion they are going to consider it as insulting for their culture.
                                                   Fujairah bullfighting

In Fujairah, UAE, we have  different bullfighting which bull fight other bull every Friday " more bull win more price gonna have". see video below to know about it
