LSS2113 Exercise 2

1-What is the conflict?  What is the basis/the cause of the problem?


Women are not allowed by male relatives to study or work in a mixed community environment. Women want to have a career but because of old traditions they are asked to stay at home and take care of their families.

2- What is/are the culture view(s) (G/I; H/S; P/F) behind this conflict?

Honor and shame because men will be ashamed from other relatives if they will let their wife, sister or daughter will be working with mixed community

3-What is the best solution to the problem ?

To have trust in women and for women to follow what her family would say


From my worldview I think this belief is from the past and people are now accepting women that can have power and leadership. Emirati culture still happening in traditional families and tribes that we should also respect.

Exercise#1 LSS 2113


Exercise#1

Bullfighting is a very controversial culture of Spain. A bull is running towards a man with a red cape in the arena in front of thousands of people .
The idea has advantages and disadvantages. Many Spanish people think that bullfighting shows bravery and victory . The reason that the celebrate this bullfighting is to show that man is stronger than the beast which is the bull . The disadvantages are people are getting hurt when the bull attack them some times people can die from this. Also the animal is being killed .
In my opinion I disagree about this idea because its very dangerous to both men and animals. And bravery and victory can be shown in different ways. I feel so sad about the people and the bulls who got hurt by this bullfighting culture.
