Dubai's modern and post-modernization

 
I had just finished having my lunch at the metro station. There a philipino lady was serving mer some delicious indonesion cuisine. I had a conversation with her a few days back on how dubai is becoming so multicultural that we are eventually heading into postmodernity. This is a startling discovery for me, because I have been against the modern emphasis in dubai for a long time. But to slowly start to discover post-modern influences heading into the country is quite something. The interesting thing about dubai’s rapid modernization and now potentially post-modernization, is that dubai is still completely ethnocentric. If dubai continues at a rapid pace into-postmodernity as it did into modernity. We are going to have a very interesting mix going on in dubai. The culture wars as we know it would take on a completely new dimension in dubai, whose laws are governed by Shariah law. Which is very interesting when you look at the global challenges we face, and dubai could play a major role in meeting some of those challenges.  ---> More to come.
