Emirati Expressions

Yesterday our teacher took us to Emirates Palace to see UAE exhibition” Emirati Expressions “and The Saadiyat Island project. In this eassy I am going to write about what we saw in this two exhibitions and what I think about the painting and the building that will be build in Saadiyat Island.

Firstly I will talk about the Emirati Expressions. There were very interesting painting in the exhibition most of them were frustration painting or picture and there were a mean full installation. One of my favorite is a picture of three men with ears, eyes and mouth covered by outside pairs of hands. The artists want to say that these days human beings not allowed to talk or express their opinion these days. However l like the idea ,but I don’t like the painting because when I was child my father took me to the hospital to the dentist to take one of my teeth and I saw the same painting on the wall of the dentist room so I hate that painting.

However after we saw all these strange paintings our teacher took us to the Saadiyat Island project. We saw the three building .One of the model look like a dead fish as my friend said it seemed like a dead fish, but I think otherwise it seem like a modern building which was made by a Muslim women I don’t know her nationality maybe an Iranian. The second design was the famous Louver which maybe they will bring the Monlisa. The third design was very strange and I think is the most interesting design that I saw. From the outside of the Third design you can see square, rectangle and triangle, but from inside it seem like a normal building.

Some people think that the government spends a lot of money in these projects and some people think not .I think the Saadiyat Island project is good for the UAE and not for the people who is live in it. It is good for the UAE that MAYBE It will make it the first destine for tourism. Because at that time is UAE will have everything in the world. It has a story to tell the people how they have became like this, it have museums and have all the entertament of the world. Although it is a good thing for the country, but it is not good things for the local. You may I asked why and I will tell there are more important things than building .Take education for example. Education in UAE is not that hard as some people said. In education student use only the style that the teacher gave them not a style they maybe invents and all their studies Is depend in memories the book, so there is no way for them to explore and the government should aware of that problem that education have and build them their own work shop, so the can put the theory in process. Another problem is that some local have no house they just have to rent it. Instead of building buildings that people from outside just see and buy it they should provide houses for locals. As I said before it is good for the county and not the people

Which is better UAE in the past or in future?

UAE is one of the richest countries in the world and all that because of the oil. Some people think life before oil in UAE was better and some people think the opposite. In this essay I am going to discuss whether life in UAE is better now then in the past.

Some people think that life before oil was better. The first reason is that life was much cheaper. For example in the past 12 eggs was worth 1 dirham, but today it is worth 16 dirham. Another reason is that life needs were simple. For example nowadays you need car to go to your work and a telephone to communicate with other people. However in the past if you wanted to get to your work you could ride a donkey or to take a walk. Yet another reason is that life before oil was much healthier. There were not that many cars, factories or buildings, so there was no pollution.

Some peoplethink life is much better after the oil. The first reason is that without the oil most people would be uneducated. For example, our college spends at least 1 million a year. This I think was the budget for whole UAE before oil. Another reason is that without oil the world would not recognize the UAE. For example Dubai build the tallest tower in the world and Guinness book of world record mention that in their books and people read Guinness book of world record mention all over the world, so we will be recognized. Yet another is that without oil UAE will be just a desert not like today . Nowadays every month or two there is a building, a malls or a park and all that because of the oil.

In conclusion, I think life after oil is much better because it make us explore every thing that happened in the world. Whether people like that or not without oil we are nothing.
