This experiment took in the USA , in 1968 with some boys and girls have blue eyes and brown eyes .

The teacher choose the boys and girls who have a blue eyes and tell him you are better than the boys and girls who have brown eyes and they tell the boys who have blue eyes don’t play with the boys who have brown eyes . secondly they choose the brown eyes and tell him same what they tell the blue eyes .

The first result is that the children with a blue eyes  became sad, after that, the second result is that the children didn’t accept their teacher when she said “ if you see a black man, laughing of him “ . There are no difference between white and black. I believe that the  experiment was a big  successful because the teacher learn the student  that should no Discrimination of any people.

 

Reflection about UAE culture film

Reflection about UAE culture  film

We meet with my friends in living room and we talk about how to make a movie film about the UAE’s culture . Then we choose some of our important artifact to talk about it. Then we work in a team and training very hard to do this film. I think its a good idea to work in a  team   because it will be better than doing individual and we knew many knew things  for example we didn’t know how to organize the film in the movie maker . we went to AL marina mall to search for some tourist to do  with him interview .

I learn about this experience how to work in a team and we meet new friends and I love it and I hope to do another thing and learn anew thing .
