Task 1

1. How did Dr. Shereen El Feki start her speech? What is her reason for presenting Barbie
and fulla dressed up differently from one another?

Answer: The first thing Dr. Sheeren El feki introduced herself and appear the barbie and
fulla he showed what the difference can be and what can be noticed in each barbie. and
she also shared the meaning of civilization in Arab which is fully dressed up from head to
toe, while barbie can wear what she like.

2. What do you think is the meaning of “clash civilization” as mentioned by Dr. El Feki in
the video clip?

Answer: The Clash of Civilizations is a thesis that people's cultural and religious
identities will be the primary source of conflict in the post–Cold War world.

3. What is “Islamic cross-cultural hybridization”? Do you think fulla, 4shab and the 99 who
represent the Arab pop culture are effective avenues in promoting the enmeshing of
strands of other cultures that you believe.

Answer: i Think the 99 are the shown as the first Islamic superheroes, and she describes them
very well in regards to giving them a light of their own. Going on to explain that each of the 99
superheroes exemplifies the 99 attributes of Allah, El Feki doesn’t realize that even the title is in
English. Still with Arabic under the larger numbers 99, it’s hard to create an individualistic
product when another culture seemingly bleeds into the next. And again, the comparison of The
99 to Superman and Wonder Woman takes an element of hard-earned Arab uniqueness away in
the slightest way.

4. What do you think is the implication of this “ Islamic cross-cultural hybridization” on

effective intercultural communication.?

Answer: According to her the “Islamic cross-cultural hybridization.” This might

have been her saving grace. In this description she states that Arab and American pop
culture are seemingly a “mesh of civilizations.” Rather than her previous alluding to the
stealing of ideas, this hybridization allows for an even exchange of ideas across cultures.
In this way, “strands of different cultures are intertwined” is actually a trend common in
the Arab world due to the Qur’anic belief that nations and tribes should learn from one
another. While it may seem that Arab pop culture takes up successful American ideas, an
 understanding of Arab ideals is essential to distinguish their admiration yet unique twists
on western pop culture.

Task 2

Answer briefly but substantially the following questions.

1. What do you think are the most important characteristic of the following?
a. A globally competitive student.
b. A globally competitive education system.

For me being globally competitive today requires developing global competence.

Equipping students with hard skills to compete in a global job market is important too.
Prepare their ability to communicate across cultures in respectful ways is evaluative.
While In education, global competitiveness can be characterized as the set of skills and
factors that support individuals' personal and professional productivity in their
communities and in the world.

2. Explain this complication inherent in global communication: While face to face

meetings can be replaced with the video conference calls, subtitles of body language
can’t always be captured on video.

Answer: For me, face to face is better than online schooling because each discussion is better
understood and catchy. We know that online schooling is only used when it's necessary, but it's
still better and makes you want to come and learn.
