The culture diversity project 1 writing
Getting to know more about the emarati culture is important for local people. Making a video was a really good experience for me. First, I met with my group in the heritage village in abudhabi to plan our video and the main points of the film. After that, we started our video and filmed more than the needed videos so that we can choose and organize our videos. Talking with the tourists was interesting because we shared our information about our culture and they gave us a lot of important data about their culture. Finally, the best thing I learned was working in groups and sharing my thoughts with my group mates.

Culture and Personality in Anthropology
Read the section about Culture and Personality in Anthropology. Answer these questions about that section:-
1. Define “Anthropology” in your own words
The study of human history and culture
2. What do you understand by “socialization of children” Give an example
This is where your culture tells you how you raise your children
3. Read this sentence again and give examples of childrearing in different societies and cultures: “socialization creates personality patterns. It helps shape people’s emotions, thoughts, behaviors, cultural values and norms to fit into and function as productive members in the surrounding human society. The study of culture and personality demonstrates that different socialization practices such as childrearing in different societies (cultures) result in different personality types.” Consider bed time in different cultures some Emirati families do not have a set bed time for the children
4. Read this sentence again and say to what extent you agree: “all humans are the same when born, but childrearing in different societies causes deviations in behavior and personalities from each other.” I totally agree with this statement
5. Reflect on the reading above. Can you see a link between your culture and your personality? Think about that in relation to your own culture first, and then think about personality and culture in a different society. Reflect. Give examples. My own personality is best reflected by the fact that I am a very laid back person. Im not one who rushes around like a crazy person, because in m culture impatience is not a good thing.
