Have you ever heard of CQ? What you think it is about? When you want to visit another country, you need to cross the cultural boundaries before crossing the boundary of this country, so you need to know all things about the culture in this country, in other words you need to improve your CQ- cultural intelligent , so to satisfy this aim, you have to follow these three ways; read many books about the other cultures, learn many languages, and watch movies that are using different languages.
First, read a lot of books about the other cultures. Books give you a lot of information about the cultures, specially that one which written by native person, who belong to this culture. In addition, read many novels for famous native novelists, because this is the best way to know small details about the other cultures, and don’t forget to read about the famous people, who had great contributions of their cultures.

It is easy to know the status of any person in one of these cultures, from the language that he or she speaks, or may be by follow the accent that he or she uses, because in many countries people who are from high status use other language that low status’ people use, for example in Pakistan people in high status speak British English, but people in low status speak Ordoa.
Finally, watch movies in different languages, which are translated to your own language, movies give you a lot of information about the small details of any culture, for example the kind of clothes, which they wearing, or may be the kind of items that they are use.

Arab Dishes

When I was with my father in Chicago we went to Arabic restaurant, but when I came to Carbondale I felt disappointed because there is no one here. So if I have a chance to open any type of business, I wish opened Arabic restaurant to sell all kinds of Arabic food.
First, there are different delicious dishes from each country in Arab world, because there are many traditional dishes for each country, which are different from one to the others.
Next, most of Arabic dishes contain rice, vegetables, chicken, and meat. There are many kinds of meat that are used in those dishes buff, lamb, and camel meat.
Finally, most of Arabic dishes are healthy, because it’s contain a lot of fresh vegetables , and it’s don’t contain a lot of fat as fast food.
In conclusion, for all those reasons that I listed before I wish opened Arabic restaurant. Arabic dishes came from many Arab countries, contain different kinds of vegetables, and meat, and it’s healthy food. I hope give the Arab people, and American citizens in Carbondale the chance to enjoy Arabic food.
