During the last two decades, the Emirates experienced enhancement and activation of cultural development in the Emirati society, as culture and all its various elements became an original approach to achieving knowledge accumulation and promoting sustainable development. The process was and still is going on since the turn of the millennium – as it was prepared for – through the implementation of an intellectual and cultural movement that is capable of keeping up with modern transformations and openness to the different other, and various cultural spheres all over the world. A movement based on the primary effective foundations, such as issuing the compulsory reading law, rejuvenating cultural, intellectual, and artistic life, launching innovation that stimulate catching up with the renaissance of the country, building cultural bridges to reinforce national identity and limit the repercussions and effects of political, economic, social and cultural globalization, and drawing a map for the country’s future civilization and self-development, which is nearing on the cusp of knowledge, science, thought and culture.

With the official trends aiming to uphold culture, arts, creativity, and innovation within the available cultural and historical fundamentals, rich heritage and open thinking, public libraries spread throughout the country, and the arts that preserve the artistic heritage have been – relatively – developed. Thus, features of a climate suitable for creative talents growth and display of new talents began to manifest in encouraging writing and translating in various literary trends, and excavation of the country’s historical heritage, along with the dedication to civilized methods and considering them a practical approach among the segments of society whose cultural paths have diversified by the expatriate majority.

Although the prevailing belief in the region is that the notion of cultural development is a modern one in sociology literature, it was launched in the UAE through a conscious effort to make a cultural breakthrough intentionally, in an endeavor to establish clear and specific policies enforced by accountable institutions, and to produce a purposeful, constructive culture for people and society, whether in the form of spiritual, intellectual or material elements, in which family, clan, tribe, and the small local community, in cooperation with state institutions, play a dynamic and permanent role.

And thus, the UAE has a cultural life that combines the traditional Emirati heritage with international traditions of arts, music, sports, and entertainment. Among the various favored local arts and sports, we can mention folk dance, falconry, horse, and camel racing. The country started to be an international hub for film festivals, modern arts, architecture, and high-level sports competitions, which makes the Emirati culture more open and diverse than several countries in the region.

Chillies, curry leaves, mustard seeds, turmeric powder and asafoetida, are all frequently used.

Architecture of Kerala
The architecture of Kerala is unique and quite a contrast to the Dravidian style of architecture commonly found in other parts of the south. Kerala architecture is heavily based and influenced from architectural sciences like Vastu Shastra, and the temples are built on the basis of two construction thesis, Thantra-Samuchayam, and Sliparatnam which allow positive energy to flow inside the temple and does not retain any negative energy. The structure of any residential or religious centre usually consists of a rectangular or cylindrical structure at the bottom with downward sloping roofs at the top.

dance forms
The folk dance of Kerala consists of the Kaikotti Kali dance, Kuthiyottam dance, Tiruvathira Dance, Thirayattam dance, Kakkarissi Kali, etc.   Kanniyar Kali (also known as Desathukali) is a dance done in front of Goddess Bhagvaty. It is one of the oldest folk dances. It is a fast-moving dance to the rhythmic devotional folk tune. Kaikotti Kali folk dance (also known, as Thiruvathirakali) is performed by women of Kerala by dancing in symmetric circles. It is often performed during festive seasons like Thiruvathira and Onam.

language
The literature of Kerala can be traced back to the 13th century. The Malayalam literature initially consisted majorly of poems and songs (pattu). Manipravalam poetry, which is a mixture of Sanskrit and Malayalam language, also flourished in the state. Many prose and poetry also emerged like the champus and sandeshakavyas. Ezhuthachan who is given the title of the father of Malayalam language made great contributions in the 16th century.
festivals
Onam is a 10-day harvest festival celebrated in Kerala in the month of August - September. The festival is celebrated with grandeur. There are fairs and contests for people to indulge in. The floors are decorated with flower designs; there are dances for celebration and a snake boat race (Aranmula Boat Race) contest called Vallamkali is also carried out. The tenth or the last day of Onam is said to be most important and is one of the most popular manifestations of Culture of Kerala.

Vishu is the New Year for the Keralites. The first month is called Medam, which usually comes around April.

occupation
Originally, people of Kerala were involved in agricultural activities. Apart from that, some were also into fishing and animal husbandry. Over the years, Keralites have received a good education and are doing jobs in the cities. However, most of the skilled workers and college graduates leave Kerala and go abroad, especially in the middle east. This had caused a short of skilled supply in Kerala and resulted in inflation
sports
