Ideally, you would present a UAE tradition/custom, its origins and meaning and argue whether this tradition should be preserved or not and why. It is easy to argue that traditions should be preserved, but many are lost, so the question is why? Does this loss point to a larger happening/problem? Should there be a ‘replacement’ tradition? For example, many consider weddings and marriage a beautiful and important tradition. Should there be a change to some traditional ways of marrying? Why or why not? Your answers should be researched and backed up by facts.
You can use up to 4 additional articles that you find, pertaining to the tradition/custom that you choose to discuss. You can also use anecdotal evidence such as your own family history, but you need to be specific, writing as if for an article (specific names, dates, and locations) for example.
