Reflection 2
Abdulaziz's presentation was about Yemen. At the beginning he gave a
quick introduction about Yemen. The first thing he talked about is pollution in
Yemen and its causes and consequences. Then he talked about khat. He said that khat has become something important in Yemen. Also he told us about poverty in
Yemen which is one of the poorest countries in the world. Then he mentioned
thieves. He said that if some people in the government are thieves what do you
expect from the people. After that he gave us an idea about the injustice in
Yemen. Also he talked about the lack of law, racism, lack of infrastructure. Finally he gave some solutions for these problems. He did very
well and we enjoyed the presentation.

· Students gained a wider perspective of other cultures than their own and Faisal said that he had learned a lot about other cultures and a few foreign words.

· At this point Faisal began to explain about the daily challenges through language barriers. Abu Baker said that he believed the best way to learn is to be in the field; this is because learning from your own experience will give you self confidence.
Disadvantages:
Faisal said that one of the disadvantages was some of the foreigners may have some traditions that will not go with our traditions. Such as the young Emirati girls started to not wear the abaya because of the western traditions, which is against our religion and traditions.
Abu Baker commented that this is a live example and this is a phenomenon is getting bigger and bigger. However it should not be a problem; it is our role to stop it by making people aware of the results that may happen because of not wearing the abaya.
Faisal added one more disadvantage which is mixed gender. For old Emiratis that will be a huge problem.
Abu Baker said that some families will not allow their sons and daughters to go to college because of that. Moreover it is against our religion and traditions. So what can we do to get over this?

Khalid said that giving them a taste of current reality is the best solution.
The international student could be a good idea.
Here Abu Baker suggested to try to solve some of these problems like cultural shock and stereotypes; Faisal explained what cultural shock is and the solution. From his point of view, the only time we can really solve this problem( here Khalid disagreed) is when we do an orientation week to help. This will provide the students with a booklet and some orientation classes. Here Faisal started to explain about some of the stereotypes and they agreed on this. We can only solve this problem by spreading awareness.
In conclusion we thought that:
1. -Anything new will face a lot of problems and challenges which must not frustrate us.
2. - Disadvantages should not be an obstacle because we can find some solutions to these.
3. - To get to the top you will face a lot of problems and challenges that you should overcome.
And here Abu Baker ended the meeting

The meeting went very well. I think that we did a great job. I started the meeting by greeting and introducing the minute taker and the participant. The meeting was about the experimental international college. The chairman (Abu Baker) did his role very well. He managed the meeting and divided the roles very well. The participant (Faisal) said a lot of great points and ideas. He was a very good participant. The minute taker (Khalid) was writing what we were saying and said a few valuable things. In my opinion the meeting was great and I am satisfied with it.
Recommendations:
1. Do not be nervous next time.
2. Try to use body language to make the person you are talking to interested.
