Obama's speech for winning was for letting the people of America know that he will change how it is in u.s that all kinds of people will be equal it doesn't matter if the person is white or black, gay or straight, able or disable and so on. he went in to the peoples minds by his voice in how he changed his peek with lauding it to let them feel what hes talking about not just listen to an ordinary lecture he was trying to get inside there minds and let them feel every word he was saying about how hes going to make everything proper

Comparison between Emirates – Cambodian
Cultures
Cambodians
share the same life style with emirates they share the same emotions and
respecting they wouldn’t let their families lose they respect their family
identity and loyalty and they respect their elders and they wouldn’t abuse
people there nature is respectful and whatever happens they have agreements
they wouldn’t engage in fighting straight away. Their identity is important for
them so does the emirates they wouldn’t throw
away their dignity and keeping their families happy and wealthy is a main priority
with them and so on. And they are clean people for example shoes won’t be
allowed to be worn inside the house and dirtiness isn’t executable with them
and so does the emirates basically there is a huge similarities.
Their differences
isn’t much because there’s a 75% similarity so I would talk about how the women
take the title name of the family emirates don’t do that they men take the family
title name not the women And when there in pain or problem they wouldn’t show
emotions.

Reflection # 4
Gap Year
Gap year is when a
person takes a break from what he/she’s doing as in college or work. They would
travel or go out or stay home do nothing some people travel to see the world
how it is and not worry about life it is like a refresh button for life.
Some university students
would volunteer on going out and teach other kids just like how I saw British
students teaching Indian kids and some would go and help with other things etc.
having a gap year doesn’t mean you’re going to miss out in your studies or work
sometimes it can help you rethink on how your living how you are lucky in having
what you have in how good your life is basically you will become mature and
have ideas and not only that you will know things that you never expected.
I had a gap year myself
for 2 years it was long but it was worth it because I realized that life isn’t easy
my dad taught me that not having a job isn’t pretty. I traveled a lot and to
poor countries but although people would still work but in selling fruits vegetable
and other things and these places were in India and Thailand. My dad covers for
all the expenses but it wasn’t for learning it was for fun then in the end he
said see how people live there best you could do more just do good in your
studies and you’ll be set on the right track he said your degree certificate is
your weapon.
Gap year has
disadvantages in some countries like in UAE they wouldn’t understand your
situations they will keep asking when you go apply to a university or college
why did you stop your studies and in my gap year I had some family issue and I couldn’t
continue my studies but they wouldn’t understand for example Etihad they
thought I was having a gap year for fun but it was 50% fun and 50% a whole lot
of work but that’s not there problem and they won’t accept you if you didn’t have
a proof.
It is suggested to
have a gap year but not for so long so that you don’t miss out in you’r studies
and not get late for it or you will forget what you took in school gap year is
for a refresh purposely not for passing time it’s for you to grow up and be
mature and see your life in another way to take responsibility.
