A gap year
is an face related with taking time out to travel between life stages. The gap
year is between the school and university when students travel and take a break
like one year and they travel to experience more about life and they can have
more time for deciding what they want to study or what they want to be in the
future or what t study in the university. The advantage of gap year it makes
the students independent and they know
more about them self’s and learning
about their strength and their weakness. A trend for a year out is to travel,
volunteer and working abroad, which may include participating in international education
programs that combine language study home study community service. In Yemen, a
defer year is obligatory between secondary school and university. Unless one
attends a private University, one must wait one year after secondary school
before you can apply to University. Until the nineties it was mandatory for
male graduates to go to the army for one year, and to teach in a school or work
in a hospital for female graduates. Some people think it’s a bad idea and some
people are used to have a gap year.

personal refliction #3
Stereotyping is everywhere in the world everyone is prejudging people without knowing them
In this day’s most humans judge people without knowing them all the time . we prejudge people we don’t really know . one day I witnessed a women who was waiting a queue for restaurant and and the line was long so she came to the in front of the line and she didn’t care about anyone who was already in the in before her so another women went to her and said get in the line because all of us are in this line and waiting and it’s not fair to do that the women said am local and I can do whatever I want so the people were from different nationalities locals , Asian , Africans . all of them went mad because no one is better either if there local or any nationality so all people were talking t the women and the women yelled that she don’t care security came and they tried to calm the problem but no use she was insisting to stay in the line because she was local and she didn’t want t leave until she has her food as fast as she can and leave the place and that what happened. But at the end people from different nationalities will look at us showed off and that we are better than them she gave them hat view about local people
in conclusion no matter what you are or who you are . every person has their rights and everyone is human no one is better than any one

region’ information to find out where Americans come from: http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/immigration/immigration_data/
1. Explore
the historical timeline to see where
the immigrants arrived from in different eras. Choose one link from ‘A New
Land’, ‘Expanding America’ and ‘A Place of Refuge’ menus and note: Where did the people come from and why did they go to America.
A New Land: they came from Europe (Spain)( France) (England) most of them they
immigrated because of freedom and food and resources
Expanding
America: They had large of immigrates while the revolution war . in 19th
century 1 million slaves from Africa where imported there and they were not

nearly all immigrates was from western Europe
A Place of
Refuge: world war 2 happened and the economy
went down and it wasn’t the perfect land to go and the immigration percentage
went down . some people thought of immigrating to some another country
2. Look at the
‘Building a Modern America’ – ‘A Multicultural America’ page. What information

nickname because its where family and friends waited their loved ones
Think!
When people come to work in the UAE,
what must they do? (Paperwork, procedures, tests…)
America is a
multicultural society; it is culturally diverse. It is not a ‘melting pot’, it
is more like a ‘salad bowl’. Americans often talk about being ‘first
generation’, ‘second generation’ or third generation’ immigrants. ‘First
generation’ is term used for the children of immigrants, ‘second generation’ is
the term for the grandchildren of immigrants, so ‘third generation’ is
……………………………………………………? By the second or third generation, the connection with
the immigrant’s country may be very weak or non-existent so we can say that
these people have assimilated into the culture. Over the years, some people and
cultural groups have assimilated into American society. They have blended and
are examples of assimilation. When two cultures meet, acculturation happens.
This is the meeting of the cultures and the process of adapting to each other
and adopting new behaviours, which can be a one-way or two-way process.
However, some groups may keep many of the customs, traditional ways and
characteristics of their home culture even though they adapt to the new
country. These people have acculturated by adopting new behaviours in their new
country, but they have not assimilated. Immigrants and the first generation may
acculturate but not assimilate, but later generations may be assimilated.
Think again!
Why do/did some people/groups assimilate
and others do/did not?

Personal Reflection #2 – Integrating Special needs Individuals into society
Based on our class discussions and my research’s into future
center and Paralympics I can reflect on how people can be better integrated
into society in these ways
In my opinion the society or the government should make the
children that is Paralympics or special needs go to normal school so they can
mingle with other people and don’t feel that there’s a big different . But they
should have other classrooms but the same schools and they should keep their
records of their disability a secret and all the information is confidential so
other kids won’t know they have disabilities or they get bullied by the normal
kids. And the government should offer the wheel chairs people some ramps for wheelchair
instead of stairs and they should make parking for them. And for the family who
has a special need child they don’t let their child in home or hide him from
society they should make the child go out with his family and mingle with other
children and be treated as a normal kid. They should treat the special need
person as a normal person during work. They should do the whole interview
processes and training to the special needs person and see if his skills are
suited in the work place. In our country they usually feel sorry for the
special needs people but that’s wrong they should encourage him as much as you
can so he feel as normal as anyone.
In conclusion in my opinion and my researches special need
people should be treated as normal person weather in school or during work or
any public places and should be out in public as a normal person to mingle with
normal people and society.
