Exercise #2
A- world views
What is my world view and why is it diffrent than yours ?
First of all in my opinion every person is unique, so they're tastes and ways of thinking vary. I myself have a diffrent definition of shame and honor than you. When I think of honor the first thing that comes to my mind is my family. That being said, I think that right and wrong comes before honor and shame in some situations. Power and fear come after the previous two in my opinion, maybe it's because of the way I was raised or the place I grew up in, these two factors were probably the reason behind the order of each world view.
B- There was a conflict in how to dress publicly. Some UAE locals think that expats don't care about their culture and rules and dress improperly. On the other hand expats believe that they're innocent of what locals think claiming that most of the people who dress improperly are unaware that their clothes conflict the way locals dress. There's no real problem here because this is a minor issue that can be solved by teaching tourist about our culture and way of thinking once they get here by handing them fliers and showing them educational videos. Locals can help by being more understanding and help teach expats how to adapt to our culture and society.
