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.
