Reflection

           A)  The last study was in the year 2000 which shows the population % from different countries but now the population as I know increased because we see many people from different countries in farms, homes, factories and companies from different places. Also the study in the middle of 2010 shows the population of the UAE was 8.264M.

          B) For example the population in Ajman increased by nearly 12,000 to exceed 262,000 at the end of 2010 and nearly 16 per cent of them are Emiratis. So that means most of them are foreigners from other countries.

Cultural Diversity

      Cultural diversity means that the humans are affected by different cultures from different places. For example , in the past the UAE had the same traditions from west to east for many things like the religion , jobs and food . But now they are affected by different cultures because many different nationalities came here for work or to teach in the schools which add many things to our traditions. Such as we can speak different language and also we wear different clothes than our traditional clothes. Also the food was  traditional bread, fish, meat etc. But now they have many kinds of food like KFC.
