Discrimination

I learned so many things from our classes that we should treat each other equally without different and to respect old or young people and every religions has different thought and creed and about the ableism that we should treat them in good way. I do learn about stereotype it is the way how people see each other and the funny way they describe each other. The prejudice is description for people who stand by one side of argument and they do not agree or hear the other people even if they was wrong . The videos that made  the biggest impact on me the man that with disability was working in the market and the people was spited him and no many people stand with them.

There are difference in the Weston culture and the Emirati culture considering to the "pre-school attendance" For example, the Weston consider this step very important because the children mind are open and learn very fast. But in the Emirati culture they  thought that level is not important to be attendant for every day.
