Culture is influences every aspect of society. Individual vs community culture influences life choices in many ways, if there is situation to take a choice in life. I will write about the Amish model. Firstly how the Amish model influence on the life choices? In the Amish model they give the people some choices to choose one of it they don’t give them all the choices. Secondly about the Amish people they are very simple people and they are peaceful people.  The Amish people decisions likewise Amish individuals are oversimplified living  which means they accept  what is acknowledge in one group and may not be worthy in another. and they don’t like to live alone. The Amish people also accountable as a group not individual. In my experience I know that the Amish don’t use the cars and prefer to use the horses and they use direct communication. If there is conflict, he is listening to all views and try to understand it and solve it in the correct way.

Dress code is unfair labelling, UAE expats say | MBD

 The main reasons for this our traditions and religion’s are against the idea of woman working with men in the same place.The base of the problem that the local (Emiratis) didn't accept the thing that they are wearing it because it’s shameful for them to see someone wearing this clothes.  the  culture view in the UAE  is honor/shame but , I see it from other way innocence / guilt because they don't know about it , I think that in the airport they need to advice them before they come to the UAE cultural view behind the conflict for the locals is Honor/Shame but in the other side the cultural view for the expats is Innocence/Guilt because they don’t know that the local don’t accepted. The best solution for this conflict is to advise them and give them information about what it’s acceptable to wear and what is not in the airport before they enter the country. 

My World View 

My world view is depending on three things which is: Innocence/Guilt, Power/Fear and Honor/Shame. The most influence thing in my world view is Honor/Shame because it is the most influence thing our culture and this will effect in how I can see the world. The second influence thing for me is Power/Fear. The last influence thing for me is Innocence/Guilt.

Exercise 1

My opinion about Bull-fighting

Firstly, what is the bull-fighting? The bull-fighting is a fight between bull and a human and the human play with the bull until he kill it. The bull- fighting is not only in Spain there are also in southern France, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Peru.Secondly, I don’t accept this culture for many reasons such as: it’s dangerous for the person who play with the bull maybe he will die because of it, and it’s not acceptable to kill a bull for a show and they must respect animal rights, and the last reason is it’s bad for the child to see it or even us. Finally, I think we must help them to change on their traditions because it’s a bad tradition. We must show them the effect of this tradition such as: there is many humans and bull were died because of it, and the country lose much money for it such as: money for treatment and training.
