DESIGN

INTRODUCTION:
Definition of design: Design is the human power to conceive, plan and realize Product that serve human beings in the accomplishment of any individual or collecting purpose. Another definition is more lively: Design is making things right. Definition of Culture: Culture is symbolic system of values, beliefs and attitudes that shapes influenced Perception and behaviour abstract "mental blueprint".
ANALYSIS (The Body):
In this report I am going to present culture of two different regions which are the
Middle East and European according to architecture, food and clothes. Architecture is
style or design of buildings. In the Middle Eastern there are different styles of buildings
such as mosques, forts and clothes. Middle Eastern design has many beautiful old mosques
are usually very simple buildings. They sometimes have domes and minarate.They rarely
have mosaics. They have arched doors and arched windows. They have crescent moons.
They have verses from the Holy Quran.
The food means something that people, animal or plants take in to their bodies in order to
keep them alive and healthy. People in the Middle East eat rice almost every day. They eat
together in a big tray. Mainly they use their hands for eating food but some people use
spoon and sit in the ground. Clothing worn by all people is influenced by the climate,
available material and traditional culture Which include social status, group identity and
religion.
In the Middle East, clothes are different according to the religion. Muslim people
wear clothes that cover the entire body sometimes the hands and face are not covered. The
men should not wear silk or gold in Muslim culture. In Islam women should cover head by
clothes that is called Hijab (scarf) and should wear wide and long clothes. In European
countries there are different styles of buildings. For example the famous building in
European is the Buckingham palace in the U.K. There are two addresses in London that
the whole world knows. One is 10 Downing Street, where the prime Minister of theU.k.
lives and work. The other is Buckingham palace. This famous palace first was built in 1703
which is in the very centre of Landon. It is two palaces, not one. It is a family house, where
children play and 2grow up. It is also the place where presidents, kings and politicians go
to meet the Queen of England.
Buckingham palace is like a small town, with a police station, two post offices, a hospital, a bar, tow sports clubs, a disco, a cinema and a swimming pool. There are 600 rooms and three miles of red carpet. Two men work full time to look after the 300 clocks. About 700 people work in the palace.
In European tradition English breakfast is a very big meal: sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes and mushroom. But nowadays many people just have cereal with milk and sugar or toast with marmalade, jam, or honey. Marmalade and jam are not the same. Marmalade is made of oranges and jam are from other fruits. The traditional breakfast drink is tea. Some people have coffee.
For many people lunch is a quick meal. In cities there are a lot of sandwich shops where
office workers can choose the kind of bread they want such as: brown bread, white, or a
roll, and then all sorts of salads and meats or fish to go in the sandwich. School children
can have a hot meal at school but many just take a snack from home, a sandwich, a drink,
some fruits and perhaps some crisps. On Sunday many families have a traditional lunch.,
They have roast meat, either beef, lamb, , chicken or pork with potatoes, vegetables and
gravy. Gravy is a kind of sauce made from the meat juices.
The British like food from other countries too, specially Italian, French, Chinese and Indian. People often get take away meals. People buy the food at the restaurant and then bring it home to eat. Eating in Britain is quite international. Lev’s and other brands of denim jeans became fashionable in Europe in the 1990. Levi’s are now tolerated in many cafes and restaurants during the day. However, regular snacks are much more common as street wear in major cities throughout Europe.

Comparison between these cultures:

There are different styles between the Middle Eastern culture and the European culture.
For example:
Food: In the Middle East people eat rice every day but in European culture people eat junk food.
Architecture: People in the Middle East use different materials and different styles as the European countries.
Clothes: In the Middle East all people wear clothes that cover all body, but in European countries people wear short clothes.

Conclusion
In this report I presented culture of the Middle Eastern countries and the European.
I compared between the Middle Eastern culture and European cultures in three things. food, architecture and clothes. I found every culture has different styles or, design.
I hope you will be benefited from my report.

However, it is difficult to predict accurately the time of the occurrence of earthquakes, which have been few attempts in this area, has always been a failure.

In general, requires the ability to anticipate any accident that we have the equipment works and the appropriate control, and we have a good knowledge of the causes of the risk that we would like to control, and also has a model of one or several models for the simulation, allowing the sequence of events as a phenomenon at the time and place which will , so that we can deliver the information before a disaster.
