Foreigners in Dubai

According to my understanding, I feel that the concept of Social Psychology and Symbolic Interaction varies from person to person. To one it could be a symbol of pride & honor and to others, just the opposite. I feel that the concept of social psychology and symbolic interaction compliments each other, not because they are related to society, because these concept touches people's feelings which ignites a spark of livelihood in them. I believe that this is the spark which allows them to remain attached to their valued ethics and beliefs. For example: the patriotism in a soldier could be considered as the spark which motivates him to fight for his/her country, wearing Hijab in the middle eastern countries depicts the pride of a women in the Arab world, etc. This concept helped me to understand and gave me a chance to have a deeper look about what goes on in this modern society. What kind of treatment people expect from others, how they adopt in certain environment - for example: in the case of foreigners living in U.A.E, they adopt and coupe up with the Arab culture by following the social norms like wearing appropriate clothing and by taking care of anything which might be unsuitable for this cultural environment.

A very similar concept discussed in the textbook is the concept of Social Cognition (pg 19). From this concept, it should be clear enough that people are interested and concerned about their social environment. They would not like to live in a neighborhood where they do not feel safe, feel isolated or discriminated. This unique requirement of acceptance by the society for the person living in it creates his own opinions and views about the society which determines his/her whole future. Such social norms are so powerful that it has the capability of changing someone's entire personality.

The western "fast food" generation has spread in the whole world to such an extant that obesity has become one of the major problems in many countries. This has contributed in increasing the world mortality rate and has become one of the root causes of several heart and artery related diseases. Tagging behind the ever increasing figures of human population are the increasing borders of the World hunger map, meaning, more than 1.08 billion hungry people out of the 6.6 billion world population of which, 1 child dies in every 5 seconds due to hunger related causes (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). Therefore, I strongly feel that we all should do something which helps unite people on this planet irrespective of their social symbols and helps them to view this world as a single humongous society. There are many organizations like UNISCO and UNICEF which are already in the process of establishing their goals and I respect such organizations because these organizations treat everyone as same, irrespective of the individual's status, gender, age, ect., and they can go to any extant in order
