 In the past few weeks I worked with group for filming a short movie about Emarati culture.

It is the first time for me to experience this. It was so exciting to talk in front of the camera and asking people about their culture.

Firstly, I was shocked in how would I do it and from where would I start because it was my first time to do a video.

Secondly, I started to ask my group and collecting the needed information, so we choose to ask our grandfathers and learn from their old experience.

Finally, when we started shooting our film and asking tourists about how they found our culture. Also, we learned about their culture. I enjoyed the conversation with the tourists and it was new experience for me. Now I am really happy for working with my group and live this experience.

Culture and Personality in Anthropology Read the section about Culture and Personality in Anthropology. Answer these questions about that section:-                                              

1. Define “Anthropology” in your own words. Knowledge of humankind    

2. What do you understand by “socialization of children” Give an example How we raise our children in a good society, for example: take the child view to figure his behavior.                 

3.       Read this sentence again and give examples of childrearing in different societies and cultures: “socialization creates personality patterns the study of culture and personality demonstrates that different socialization practices such as childrearing in different societies (cultures) result in different personality types.”

Consider “sitting together” in different cultures;  

Some Emirati families do not sit with their kids, in most Western cultures, children have families that sit with them and chat many different subjects together.


4.       Read this sentence again and say to what extent you agree: “all humans are the same when born, but childrearing in different societies causes deviations in behavior and personalities from each other.”
 
” I agree with this statement.

5.       Reflect on the reading above. Can you see a link between your culture and your personality?

Think about that in relation to your own culture first, and then think about personality and culture in a different society. Reflect. Give examples.

My personal behavior is great;.  I am not one who rushes everywhere, because in my culture, annoyance is not a respectable thing.  My friend, looks to be in big rush all of the time, her personality is opposite my personality.
