Part A

* What is the conflict?  What is the basis/ the cause of the problem?

What visitors or foreign ware it is normal in most of the world countries, but this case is very big problem in the Islamic countries in general and in UAE in specific. There is a condition or dressing code should for every one who want to be in the UAE followed, which is should for the clothes cover all your body. 

* What is/ are the cultural View(s) (I/G; H/S; P/F) behind the conflict? 

Visitors would think like it some how capture persons freedom unlike Muslims to keep up with religion and tradition thereby it is forbidden for females to wear such as kind of attractive clothes in the public place. So it is a innocence / guilty case. 

* What is the best solution to the problem? 

There are many solutions to solve this issue and one of them is educate the visitors about the dress code role in the UAE by giving them a proshore. Also put the signs in the public place that is alert he visitors to be wearing a suitable clothes in this place. Other solution is put advertisement for example in the public transportation monitors that is tell them about the dressing code.   



      Part B 
       
     * Explain what your world-view is and how it influences      how you see the world?

      After doing the worldview exam, the result what I find it is my worldview is dividing on three things which are honor / shame, power/fear, innocence/guilt. The most influence points that I had it in the worldview exam is honor / shame, because without honor / shame you will loss your humanity so you will have not an emotions feelings. Then the next influence is innocence / guilt because without honor and shame you will not fell of innocence and guilt. Finally, the power / fear because without honor / shame and innocence / guilt you will loss the feel of power and fear of anything.
