Members from different parts of the world that belong to an International project team can come across misunderstanding because of cultural differences. The West Europe district with different work styles and attitudes can diverge across parts of Europe. Understanding sessions can focus on addressing the problems dealing with attitudes. Diversity was introduced to all over the world to prevent discrimination and harassment. Kilbride, K. (1997).

The term ‘porous’ suggests that there is barrier between social welfare services and crime control services but that there are gaps in this barrier allowing both side to communicate. In order to be effective, both social welfare and crime control need to liaise with and co-ordinate their efforts with their counterparts. As the barrier is porous it allows for the information to be exchanged at a controlled rate. Information, ideas, solutions may all be better achieved if a

Wider society may harbour bad feelings toward discriminators due to their behaviour 1.3 Using the table below, identify three ways of challenging discrimination, and describe how each will promote change.

In the academic literature there are two famous culture-related M&A problems - “liability of foreignness” formulated by Zaheer in his paper of 1995 and “double-layered acculturation” suggested in 1996 paper by Barkema et al. The main idea behind these papers is that companies who follow an M&A deal may meet significant obstacles in the form of differences in business practices, legal systems, languages and customs at double levels, introducing new liabilities, which ultimately may prevent a company from realizing its strategic objectives. Additionally, asymmetry of information that a company may encounter in foreign markets may make it difficult to study a new market in the correct way. Depending on the degree of required integration, there could arise other principal issues such as conflicts originated from cultural stereotypes, nationalism and even racism (Stahl and Voigt, 2005). Therefore, the rapid increase in cross-boarder M&A transactions is accompanied by growing popularity of cultural due diligence and greater interest to the “cultural distance” hypothesis.
The Conclusion – now that you have an outline, try to restate some of the main parts, and consider the implications of the work you have done Restatement of thesis: In conclusion, technology impacts our life in the social, economic, and personal life since it consists of the imprisonment due to social networks, the censorship due to mass media, the proliferation due to military technology and international trades. Summary of main points/ideas: Questions, applications, implications of argument: The provided arguments state the current situation of the impact of technology nowadays; however, our main concern is its future status. Will it worsen or stay in its status quo? Are people aware of this phenomenon or are they inattentive of its danger? Is there any solution that might reduce or hamper its spread?
Multiculturalism has been pointed out as one of the most conspicuous traits of post-modernity. However, there is a problem regarding the exact social experience the term is suppose to be referring to. Is it about tolerance, communication, understanding or coexistence? It seems that each one of these alternatives does make a huge difference… Post- modernity can be defined as the late 20th-century style and concept in the arts, architecture, and criticism, which represents a departure from modernism and is characterized by the self-conscious use of earlier styles and conventions, a mixing of different artistic styles and media, and a general distrust of theories. With knowledge of this, it becomes evident that post-modernity was a phase in history, which was shaped by multiculturalism.
However, postmodernism is distinguishable from its predecessor in several key aspects (although there is still much debate about the criteria for how this distinction can be made). One aspect, for example, is the tone. Modernists regard the fragmentation of character deplorable and thus as something that should be solved; contrarily, postmodernists view such fragmentation as something that’s beyond solving and often employ a playful tone at depicting it. This will be further discussed later in the essay. Postmodernist perspective can be applied to a vast variety of cultural fields, as broad as to include literature, art, architecture, sociology, music, cinema, and much more.
The study of nationalism has received a significant attention in the understanding of global politics. This is precisely because of the two political realities of our lifetime which are the territorial definitions and ongoing civil unrest caused by the social groups who believe they are marginalized in the international system. This is often in the name of separation from the dominant social groups or states. So the following essay will define and outline the different varieties of nationalism. Furthermore, the essay will also differentiate between a state and a nation to make an account of whether we are living in the world of states or the world of nations.
