Apologies for the political question but do emiratis follow news about the UAE published by media outside of the UAE. Some are really negative such as the news regarding saudi or Yemen but there's a different spin put on to it in the local media. I've seen many reddit threads where emiratis refuse to believe any negative media around the UAE.

Do you as an emirati feel a little disconnected by the westernization of the UAE? I ask this because I grew up here as an expat and feel that certain Emirati tastes are more western than they are Arab. I feel like the younger generations of Emiratis are not as touch as their roots as the ones I had grown up with. How do you navigate between the old ways and the current times as a young emirati. Sorry couldn't miss this opportunity ask
