On 20^th October we went me and my collogues to the heritage village in cornachie to make our assignment which requires to film a short clip about the artifacts in UAE and to ask people from different cultures few questions like what they like the most in our culture and stuff like that, I have  seen there people from all over the world discover my culture. Some aspects still exist like kandoura and others don’t like swords or khenjar the reason that at the past people here needed these weapon to defend themselves but now they don’t we have government taking care of that. my culture considered as a gareden sald culture because its mixed of many people from different nationalities.

*The world population can be divided into 4 major races, namely white/Caucasian, Mongoloid/Asian, Negroid/Black and Australoid. This is based on a racial classification made by Carleton S. Coon in 1962.  There is no universally accepted classification for “race”, however, and its use has been under fire over the last few decades. The United Nations, in a 1950 statement, opted to “drop the term ‘race’ altogether and speak of “ethnic groups”. In this case, there are more than 5,000 ethnic groups in the world, according to a 1998 study published in the Scientific American.  http://blog.world-mysteries.com/science/how-many-major-races-are-there-in-the-world/
