Reflection #4 - Final Individual CD Course Ref.


Final Individual CD Course Ref.

This was a very useful course because it enhanced my understanding of cultures diversity. I would have known about these issues without these classes. I particularly enjoyed the classes that had group presentations about ethnocentrism & that talking about the UAE’s cosmopolitan culture. I also liked the one about power distance. It is important for students to know about the cultures, so that can respond to the different nationalities that they enjoy. I think that the earlier that people experience other cultures the better but this has to be a positive experience.   

The most interesting thing I learned was has different cultures respond different ways in general terms to different situations. If the UAE had a harmony day a good date to pick would be the 3rd December so it would be continues celebration after National day. This would be an inclusive event. This could be celebration by allowing staff to wear the national custom at work.

Therefore, this was a great opportunity by learn about other cultures and to understand their idiosyncrasies.
