Sharjah's past airport and Dubai's modern Airport


Back in 1937, Sharjah was a very simple place for mostly local Arabs who struggled with slavery and a less technological lifestyle. They had to walk long distances in the hot desert and their communication device is less than helpful. The locals genuinely cooperated with a European sergeant handling business and to expand the popularity of Imperial Airways.

The setting was very basic with plain buildings. The people working seemed to be very strict about their way of doing their jobs, careful not to make any mistakes and to be very respectful, from studying the weather to making the visitors feel comfortable.

Today modern airlines which land in Dubai experience a completely different vibe; the environment was very cheerful and freely expressing yourself by joining the dancing crowd unscheduled; the place was very trendy and the ultimate of technological edginess, as in the video you can not only see locals but almost every nation around the world coming together to make Dubai one of the most desirable and beautiful places, comfortable and relaxing.

Reflection

Cultural diversity is when different religions and other countries collide; it is important that people respect other life styles.

And at the same time it also means having a mix of human societies and cultures living together in a land or region and respecting differences; it means being socially inclusive, built up as one.

Also it means having people to learn about other people's ways of life, about how they live, dress, types of language, food, and also about their religion. So when it comes to all of these cultures we have cultural diversity.
