Reflection

My reflection on the demographics are:

a) These results were based on the UAE population in the year 2000; nowadays the % of locals has increased, and with that the population of Muslims has increased as well.

b) In the year 2000 the Bedouin percentage was 9%; I think it got less with the growing of technology and the ways of living in the UAE.

c) In my opinion, the year 2000 had a percentage of 6.2% Egyptians; I think that is changed now because I can find Egyptians working everywhere, such as fastfood restaurants, hotels, education system,etc.

Definition of Cutural diversity

Cultural diversity : it's when people from different religions, languages, habits and traditions are living in one place.

Business in the UAE made it an attraction to all businessmen and workers, and the population is increasing by the day.

The UAE has changed in the past 50 years; back then everyone was the same; nowadays it’s the same as big cities around the world.
