Final course reflection
Culture
diversity is one of the best courses I had got this semester. I was inspired by
the way we studied it and I have a lot of benefits from this course in my life,
it changed my thinking way to the people around me and the different cultures.
Also, doing my projects alone taught me how to depend on
myself.
one of the best classes that I have enjoyed is about different –isms and ethnocentrism
because I have now a lot of knowledge of how people treat others that are
different from them. I
also enjoyed the class of Emirati project because it was the first time for me
to interview tourists, and it was interesting because I felt that I was doing
something important in the project as a female. The third class that I have
enjoyed is the one that taught us how to inhabit with multicultural and also how
to deal with different people from different cultures.
It is important to
learn about Cultural Diversity to understand the people's behaviors and how to
deal and communicate with all people even if they have a lot of differences. Also
it teaches us how to fight racism and how to treat people in a good way and
respect them no matter what is their nationalities, jobs, colours..etc
I think that the
best age for the students to learn about Cultural Diversity is from entering
the primary school, because from their first day in school they will be meeting
children from different countries, cultures, religions and also there are poor
and rich students.
The most interested thing I
learnt this course is about racism, I knew now a lot of things; like how people
are treating others. For example: how a bad manager is treating his employees,
how a housewife is treating her maid, how rich people is treating poor people. Of
course there are some people that have good manners and treat each other in a
very good way and don't pay attention to the differences between them. I also
learned that no matter how, people must respect others and fight racism.
Regarding the harmony day, I
want it to be called The UAE Culture day; like everyone from all cultures can
participate and the
place must be decorated in a way that combine all cultures and traditions. So everyone can do something
different to let the people that visit the place learn about different
cultures. It is better to have that day in winter so the weather will be good
and suitable for everyone to come and visit the place.
In conclusion, I liked this
course a lot because it taught me a lot of things about different cultures, and
also about my Emirati culture and traditions.
