Blog Exercise 10B: Add 50-100 words

Blog Exercise 10B: Add 50-100 words (#10B) to your reflection about 

What else has the UAE done to try to ensure human rights for its workers and to stop human trafficing? Why is this important for the (your) government to take this stand??

The government of the United Arab Emirates guarantees human rights by giving freedom of speech, freedom of movement, freedom of communication, freedom of religion and quality before law. Sheikh Zayed gave women great rights such as the right to drive a car and the right to education. So, women can play significant role in the society like men. Human rights are important because people feel free when they gain them. Also, it is important to my government to stop tyranny.

Blog Exercise 10A: Write a reflection 


 50-100 words (#10A) about modern slavery today. What do you think?  Figure out how many slaves work for you

Actually, the concept of slaves exists in ancient time and still exists today so, we can find them everywhere. Slaves mean human trafficking so people can buy and sell them but this is not legal trade. Also they are forced to work which means low power all these things are against human rights. There are not any slave works for me. However, we have house maid at home but she does not consider as slave because she just serve and help us in house works of course with monthly salary. Sometimes I feel shame when I ask her to give me something like water because I feel I am lazy.

Exercise #8b:



There are many several cultural dimensions in the United Arab Emirates. Through Outsourced documents, citizens in the UAE are low context, because we communicate with each other briefly and straight so, we do not focus on details. Secondly, we considered from cultural dimensions as collectivism because most locals live with their family and they do not like to live alone. Thirdly, we are a low power distance, for instance, we can set with our leaders and negotiation with them and there are not differences between us, so we are quall and citizens are dealt same. The UAE considered as high uncertainty avoidance and social orientation, so we work in group and cooperate with each other because we like to share ideas. As it is known, “two minds are better than one”
