There were a lot of nationalities like: British teachers, south Asian technicians. Most of the staffs and students they speak two languages: Arabic, English, and we now how they are thinking and their ideas, values of each and every one is respected and acknowledged. Each of these examples have benefits and challenges, thanks to the different nationalities we are able to experience a lot of experiences , and communications between different people is possible because most of the people who go to the college speak their mother language and English or native English speakers know Arabic. There are challenges with cultural diversity, in the college the negative part about cultural diversity.

This person will not have become highly acculturated to the American culture.

Melting pot it’s to make the immigrants become locals and forget their Mother language and the old voles. And the garden salad mean that you can be Australian but you can keep your old values but you have to respect the local country values.

the culture diversity and his benefit and challenges

In this essay I am going to speak about the culture diversity and his benefit and challenges in the country and how it will affect the people and their values and respect. Cultural diversity a homogenization of cultures, the phrase cultural diversity can also refer to having different cultures respects each other’s. In the culturally diversity there is good side and bad side.

First the benefit of culturally diversity is that can gain knowledge and know what the other people thinks about ours cultural, like when employees sit with other nationality employees they can gain learn from their expense and mistakes .then about technology how it getting better like you can pay for yours bills on the computer, having a video call, you can even have a surgery with operation doctor. Thanks to the different types of food we have many sources of needed nutrients, and people enjoy the mix in cuisine.

And now the disadvantages in cultural mix, due to the needs of knowledge of another language in some jobs and field of study the individual is in danger of forgetting his mother language, nowadays parents believe that by sending their children to study abroad they do not consider that their child is in danger of forgetting his mother language. An individual is also at risk of being unfamiliar with his own traditions and history because of the dominance of another culture and due to the need to adapt. Because of bad influence from other cultures bad habits spread in to many individuals, such as drinking alcohol and consuming illegal medicine.    

In conclusion UAE is one of the most Cultural Diverted Universities. But respecting each other is one of the most values that they have. There goals is to reach peace between everybody there. So Respect, Tolerate and accept the difference but we should keep our believe traditions and habits.
