Civilization affects traditions and cultures

Civilization affects traditions and culture in many area and ways, carrying positive and negative effects on people. To begin with in U.A.E civilization affects the relationship between families. For example in the old days people used to spend more time by visiting each other, gathering in the same house like all the family must join on the breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but now days because of the phones people find it more easier for them to communicate or connect with each other or with their relatives. Actually we lose a very nice thing by the current civilization, in the past the grandma and the mother used to spend the night with their kids by telling a very nice and an interesting stories about ARAB legend hero and their other sweet stories about their own life, but now cinema and T.V fills the teenage time and makes them addicted to it by replacing it instead of listening to the old stories. Moreover, civilization brought very nice things to people which enhance the quality of their current living. In many area like housing where we can see an intelligent, very nice huge buildings to accommodate the increasing number of people. Also education level in schools and universities enhance and have a big jumped than in the old days because of the internet, laptop, etc… which allow me as a student in Abu-Dhabi to communicate or connect with another student for example in Japan through the messenger or facebook in the web to get help or discuss a subject in a homework. At the I am with the civilization which develops the whole world, by all the means, except in weapon and using them to kill and fight with other poor countries, because civilization brought a very nice things to people which enhance the quality of their current living.

  1. Hi Fatima,
    From the cultures and societies you've encountered, which do you feel you can learn the most from and which do you find the least interesting? For me, Arab culture has proven to be very interesting as it is often so different from mine.Not all I've seem I've thought good, but there has always been something to think about and reflect on.

  2. Hi Zurob..
    For me there is no a specific culture that I would most like and love to learn from it, becaouse I beleive that there is no such thing that is all perfect and have no wrong. But what I beleive is that to learn and know new things from more than 1 culture is better than nothing.
