The Emirati Identity

UAE has developed rapidly in less than 60 years with huge change from a desert to a very modern country. Although this development has benefited many people in this country and abrod, there was some negative consequences that affected our society. Loss of Emirati identitiy was one of them.

One problem is that the rapid development created as imbalance in the UAE population. This created a multicultural environment with a minority of locals. The possibility that these minority keep preserving their national identity became lower. Another issue is that there is a strong religious believes that affect our life style and culture. This believes prevent us from committing a sin which in other relegious bleieves are considerd as a normal activitey that every one can do. Furthermore, young Emirati's whose the future of this country, are getting affected by other cultures, other religious believes and westren lifestyle. For example, young people nowadays do not know about their own history and heritage. Some do not even know how we dress and how to behave in front of others. Some others travel and represent this country in the wrong way not knowing that every citizen of this country is an ambassador of its culture and heritage.

The solutions to this problem are hard, but not impossible. One solution is that the government should organize traditional sport activities which help preserve the national identity. They should also organize conferences to discuss this issue. In addition, the government should raise the awarness of national identity.They should also educate parents on how to pass this heritage to their children's.

In conclusion, although the development is an important part of modern countries, preserving Emirati identity is much more important since development was made for them in the first place.
