Reflective Essay 1

                                                                     Reflective Essay 1

                In this course, after 8 years since I stopped studying, it starts kind of hard to be on track again. In this essay will write what I have learned with Mr. Gregory, and some problems that I faced during the course until now.

            First, I thought this subject is not related to my future career but when I understood it, I can see clearly why I am studying it. In this course I have learned a lot of things such as, summarizing by not copying, picking up important information and neglecting the details. Whenever I write any summary, I have to put a reference because taking someone's writings or thoughts is considered cheating and violating original writer's rights. For referencing I used Bibme.com to help with it, and sure it was amazing. And I feel my reading and writing in English is improving a lot. Also I know that I can recognize the important information and by that I can understand them and rewrite them in my own words. Sometimes with referencing there is a problem and it is about that Bibme.com couldn't find the website that I took the information from so I had to do it manually.

            In the end I hope I can learn more from this course and improve myself more and more.

                                                                       Keep Emirati Sports Culture

The traditional sports are coming from the Bedouin people and it is very worthy to protect these sports. There are a lot of problems threatening Emiratis sport culture. First of all some tourists come to the UAE and impose their culture. Second, Emirati youth seem to lack of interest in sports traditions because of multiculturalism in UAE. But there are groups who want to restore the Emirati culture such as AL Namoos. They show the public about traditional sports which was the main reason for the survival of our ancestors. If education does not include tradition from a young age it will be forgotten with the passage of time. The GCC strives hard to keep the sport traditions alive in terms of competition and award for the winner
