Exercise #10C

 What did J.Robinson / Rosa Parks do to fight discrimination / and long term effects on US / America?

Jackie Robinson:

        Jackie Robinson broke organized baseball's color barrier with a characteristic bang, homering and scoring four runs in his historic first game for the Brooklyn Dodgers' top farm team. This anniversary will no doubt unleash a wave of media meditations, since it combines the two national pastimes of the American male intellectual: denouncing racism and waxing nostalgic over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Spike Lee is preparing The Jackie Robinson Saga, and I'm sure Stephen Jay Gould will favor us with his thoughts.

Rosa Parks:

        When she refused to leave her seat because it was a white passenger seat on a city bus, which was the reason that sent her to the prison. Then the black people stop using the city bus. That lead to the end of the seat discrimination. this was one of the events that is generally seen as the beginning of a decade-long battle against segregation which mobilized millions and won the support of workers all over the world.

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??

Our government ensured human rights for the workers, the workers also have the freedom of speech but in a limit, also freedom of religions that every person can do his prayers without worry, in the UAE also the womens have their rights. all of that happend thanks to our leaders hard work, care and wisdom.

Giving people specially the workers their rights is very important thing that can make people feel the equality of all people, when the people of a country feel that they are equal that will make the society a happier and safer place for the people.

Exercise #10A

Blog Exercise 10A: Write a reflection of 50-100 words (#10A) about modern slavery today. What do you think?? Figure out how many slaves work for you.. and post on your blog..

Nowadays our conservative estimate is that there are around 21-30 million people in slavery. which means that today  there are more people in slavery than at any time in the human history. Slavery has existed for a long time ago, but the changes in the world’s economy and societies over the past 50 years have enabled a resurgence of slavery. I think slavery is really bad and dangerous because it deny the human right. It can also create an unstable society full of hatred.

I completed the survey on slaveryfootprint.org. My result was that there are 19 slaves work for me.

Portfolio Exercise #8b

 In our Emirati culture, our first culture dimension is that all emirati citizen hive high content, which means that we can understand each other easily and trust each other because of our past that our grandparents used to travel in the desert from clan to clan and they were welcomed to the other clans. The second cultural dimension is that we are collective, we live with our parents and family. then we have a low power distance that we can get in contact with our leaders and that all the Emirati citizens are equal,employees, bosses and leaders. After that in the UAE there is a high uncertainty avoidance, that we Emirati citizens can go talk with anyone without knowing their background. Finally we are more of a social orientation people and we like to work in groups, because when we work in groups we work more efficiently.
