Exercise #4 – World Cultures/ World Choices

Is the American obsession with individual freedom really such a great idea? What other cultures know about how to make good choices.

Absolutely, it’s great idea not only for American but to the whole world. I studied in America 2 years ago. I talked to my black instructor about freedom. He said to me, finally, our children will live in pace. I surprised when he said that and I immediately asked him why. He said that he suffer a lot 30 years ago. He said to me that white people look at him like monster and they not allow to eat in restaurant or to inter to any place to shop. Also he said that most white people educate them incorrect information about back people. For ex. One of the white people looked at him in strange way for 3 months. After these 3 months, he came to my instructor and said “ do you have tail “.

UAE is one of the culture who is following US lead to freedom.

How does Culture/ and the 12 Dimensions influence:

             Life Choices ?

          Thinking ?

            The changing in culture is lead to change in our life choices and thinking also. For example Emiratis are thinking and acting different than American. Also, 12 Dimensions effect every single culture in the world. Starting with communication, which is direct in our community because some time indirect communication is going to lead to misunderstanding for both side. For accountability, UAE is using community when it come with group work even with mixed environment . On the other hand other country like Pakistan using individual because there have no open mind and limited thinking

 What is the conflict? (describe it objectively – fact NOT opinion)

       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.

Alrashid           ( Arab)	He went to tack a rest in UK	I/G  he feel honor when he is showing off	he shipped his            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.
