The researcher concluded that the UAE was and still a leading country in spreading tolerance in both national and international sides regarding its humanitarian and political domestic and foreign policies. Keywords: Emirati Culture, Emirati's Leadership, Humanitarian, UAE INTRODUCTION Some argue that the international system has progressively shifted to a multi-polar system after the conclusion of the cold war, despite the fact that its traits are not well defined; it lacks a single and distinct divide, and these poles signify (civilizations) from which the world is constructed (Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Islamic, Western, African and Latin American). The most likely scenario in these civilizations' interaction is confrontation, which derives from cultural identity, on which positions, interests, and blocs are created on the one hand, and rivalries and disputes on the other. Although the United States of America, the most influential country on a global scale, originated primarily from different cultural identities, it merged and belonged to a comprehensive identity known as the American identity, and this merger may have been influenced by force factors (political, economic, and media) on the one hand, and human inclination on the other. According to Ibn Khaldun's remark, belonging to the strongest by nature, he titled the twenty- third chapter of his introduction: The defeated is always keen of imitating the victor in his attitude, appearance, and other situations. Ibn Khaldun emphasizes the correlative relationship between two phenomena that belong to two different areas, despite being strongly intertwined: the phenomenon of supremacy in politics and the opposite phenomenon of imitation in the cultural-social field. Ibn Khaldun examined the correlation relationship from the standpoint of the weaker party in the power relationship, and from there he spoke about the phenomena of imitation in the cultural-social field. This correlative relationship between the political forces and the cultural subordination of the strongest is enough to clarify the relations of political power and domination on the one hand, and subordination on the other. It seems that the missionaries of the culture of globalization or the gradual movement of societies towards an inclusive culture have proceeded from the conviction that the culture of the stronger party imposes itself on the weaker party, regardless of the preference of this culture (Khaldun, 1977). Based on the foregoing, states and societies are currently living in a period in which political, economic, and cultural barriers are collapsing as a result of the technological revolution and the globalization of the economy, culture, and politics, to the point where some people speak Legal Ethics and Responsibilities Volume 24, Special Issue 6, 2021 1 1544-0044-24-S6-62
