Intercultural Day 2016

-
Intercultural Day 2016 was held last year for the first time ever by semester 4 students of Interpersonal Communication, with the purpose of promoting different culture and to bridge the gap in understanding cultures from around the world.

The event hosted a variety of booths representing the culture of each country chosen such as Germany, Thailand, Japan and United Arab Emirates. The students who organized the event also invited the exchange students in UiTM from other faculties to the event, where not only were they able to learn more about the various cultures presented, but due to the Malaysian culture exhibition, they were also able to learn more about the country they were living in for the time being by playing traditional Malaysian games and tasting Malaysian food.

The Uniqueness of Culture in Malaysia

By Mohd Harrith Fadhillah Risman I believed that everyone had experienced travelling to many places either in their own country or the others. I trust that there are numerous essential angles with travelling. I realize that not everybody has this open door, but rather on the off chance that you do, grasp it. Travelling can build up a man's character, being receptive. You’re not encased in your air pocket and you get outside of your usual range of familiarity. Travelling is something you can't learn in a classroom. As a traveller, you find new lovely, fascinating spots that make you need to return and you encounter distinctive societies that you didn't know about. "We never realize what we have until we lose it." Maybe as it were, travelling can be seen as the brilliant chance to "escape" from reality, from our bustling every day lives. Toward the begin of an excursion, every one of my stresses and issues start to vanish. In any case, then, aft

By Eleeza Ismail Do’s and Don’t In Certain Countries (Taboos) Taboos according to the Oxford dictionary can be defined as a social or religious custom prohibiting or restricting a particular practice or forbidding association with a particular person, place, or thing. The word has been somewhat expanded in the social sciences to strong bans relating to any area of human activity or custom that is sacred or forbidden based on moral judgment and religious beliefs. "Breaking a taboo" is usually considered offensive by society in general, not merely a subset of a culture.   As we consist of different culture backgrounds, religions and races around the world, an act may be taboo in one culture and not in another. It’s a great big world out there with billions of people who everyday live their life with new and different experiences. Traveling is one of those activities that safe to say, is everyone’s favorite. There is nothing quite like traveling, that feeling of witnessi
