Disability

I learn that there is a lot of disabilities around the world that we don't know about them . Also a lot of people who have disability can live a normal life but with special cares . The people those have disability think that they will be losers in their life and they can't live with the normal people and how the people looks to them . It's about their inside if he feels about them and they need to treat like all the normal people , but they need more care . Also I learn that if you have a disability do not forgive up . Continue what are you doing and make your dream and future . Frankie talk about her family because she want to show the people about new kinds of disabilities that not in our country . Also that you must not be afraid from what people say about it and that is good to tell people so they don't be shay to others if they have disability or in their family . The biggest video impact on is the boy who was working in the grocery . Because some of the people treat him like he is not a human . They shout on him and say bad words to him . He is a human . He have a heart , he can feel sad and angry and he can cry . He is not his responsible to be like that . He born like that . Another people treat him like he is a friend , talk to him not shouting . Smile to him and be kind with him . We are all people the same . But they are special , they need more care and more treating good . I think the attitudes in the UAE are changing . All people getting education and know more about life and experience . Also about disabilities between them . The government give them hospitals and clinics that for special needs and those who have disability and care of them and give them more attention and me make them happy in their life .

The study of culture and personality demonstrates that different socialization practices such as childrearing in different societies (cultures) result in different personality types.”

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.”

- The children when they are born they are the same, but they became different when they grow up because of their culture and the factors around them

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.

- Each culture is different than the other so the personality is most likely to be taken from the culture, example if u grow up in a culture where they raise falcons you wont be scared of them but if you bring a guy from different culture they might get scared because it is dangerous and they didn't use to raise them.
