What does the future hold for you, me, & us?
If the current rate of growth continues, The UAE's population strategy plans to make Emiratis the majority in the country, or up to 40 per cent, by 2021 If you live in or near an urban center, chances are that your community is already more diverse than you may think. In small communities it may be less so.

Appreciating Diversity
Yet…Even in college, people often tend to seek
out other people like themselves…College is a tremendous opportunity to
meet people unlike yourself!Seek out student groups, volunteer
opportunities, and organizations that help meet new people.
Research shows that students benefit from positive relations with other students of different racial and ethnic backgrounds.
Diversity is the reason that Emirates language, food, fashion, music, business, and accomplishments are as rich and varied as they are!

Diversity on CampusCollege campuses are among Emirate’s most diverse settings, including both students and faculty.Despite opportunities to mix, people often associate with their “own kind.”Our fear of the unknown may keep us close to those whose background we share.This prevents us from taking advantage of the rich opportunities on campus to meet and learn about people who are different from us.

Ethnicity, Stereotypes, and Prejudice on Campus
Many of us sincerely think that we are not prejudiced, but experts believe that every person harbors some prejudices.
Stereotypes lead us to view others in limited and limiting ways. There is so more to people than the social roles they play, or the groups to which they belong.
We tend to identify with others who are like us, and fear people who are different from us.
We tend to be ethnocentric—favoring groups we belong to and tending to think of them as superior.Some of us are also egocentric – thinking we are superior to everyone else.

International Students
Most colleges have students from a wide range of countries.They bring customs, values, and behaviors that may be different from those of Emirate’s students.If you are an Emirates-born student, consider getting to know one or more international students; it will expand your education.If you are an international student, adapting to college in Emirates may bring some confusion and problems; for help, read your text and ask your instructor.
