The UAE Today and 40 years ago

 
The world is changing very fast without any one noticing it. We will discuss what are the similarities and differences between the UAE today and 40 years ago. In this essay I will compare  the life style in the UAE between the past and the present.

First of all, the education. In the past people only studied the Holy Quran and AL Hadith.Moreover, in the past all the teachers were men because  the women were not allowed to go out and learn .
Whereas the education nowadays is completely different from the past; the students now have  big schools with  many activities you can do  in the school .Now they study Science  ,Physics  ,Math and English ,and the most shocking thing is that there are more women than men in schools.
Secondly, the wedding. It was simple, and nice. It lasted for many days and the whole the village would come and take part in it. The bride and her neighbors made the wedding dress, and it was colorful and sewn by hand with creative embroidery.The bride in the past used a wooden box to store her clothes. Moreover, food was as important in the past as it now .The families got together to make the largest amount of rice and meat that were served at the wedding. The houses were smaller than these days, so that all the relatives and neighbors would come and share with the couple their happiness. But nowadays some people think it so long a way to accept an invitation of a wedding.

In conclusion, the similarities between the past and today are considerable .It is just money and oil  which made this large diffrence you see but the families  have the same traditions  they had  40 years ago.  If you ask someone what you think about the U.A.E in the past and the present he definitely will say” I can not comment on that !! “.
