You would think that training someone about the cultures and traditions of whom they will be doing business with would make sense. But, that requires a change in our thinking process about how we think about other cultures and their beliefs and values. Our text refers to a model developed by David Hoopes that takes us from Ethnocentrism to Multiculturalism (Shriberg, 2011, p. 39-40). Ethnocentrism is believing that your culture is superior to all others and you don’t even consider other cultures to Multiculturism which is the desire to learn and understand other cultures and their values and traditions ( Shriberg, 2011, p. 39-40). It is our natural tendency to think and believe that what we believe and how we traditionally do business is the best way for it to be done because it is what has worked for us.
As Helen Keller says, “It is possible to know a flower, root and stem and all, and all the processes of growth, and yet to have no appreciation of the flower fresh in heaven’s dew” (108) This shows that even though students are informed of much relevant information in college, they do not have opportunities to experience the delight of nature. This is because Helen uses an example of how people can acquire such knowledge, but never actually get a chance to truly understand it. The lack of perspicacity in a university of learning is a major drawback, but she states that a lack of time also decreases the likeliness of college. When students attend college, professors give them vast amounts of homework and exams, which does not leave a student with much extra time. Keller, when discussing the disadvantages of college states “The one I felt and still feel most is lack of time.
Moreover, The costs and benefits to an organization when they behave ethically. Lastly, I will choose one component from Svensson & Woods's model from "A Model of Business Ethics" and discuss how it is relevant for Anglo-American. Ethical Business Behavior Ethical business behavior refers to an organization actions and policies that are synergetic with "doing the right thing" (Sethi, 2003). In order for an organization to function ethically they must establish principles and set boundaries for employees and the other companies that they are involved in business with. Society as a whole is responsible to conduct business ethically.
Strategic Design at Dynacorp CCWe)re too slow, too unresponsive to the market, and too undisciplined about costs. And the main reason is how we)re m;ganized-it just isn)t working any more.

Kunstler’s argument is in order to avoid disaster in America we must rethink and reorganize the way we live our daily lives. In paragraph one Kunstler uses ethos when he writes “This is just another symptom of the delusional thinking that now grips the nation, especially among the educated and well- intentioned.” He writes this hoping he can show us that Americans brain wash themselves into thinking everything going to be alright and therefore we must rethink the way interpret problems, we as Americans cannot ignore the outside world, we must take everything into account and see how it effects our daily lives. Another point in the essay where Kunstler uses ethos is in paragraph two where he states “The public and the mainstream media misunderstands the peak oil story.” Kustler is stating that no one really understands the oil crises in America, whatever mainstream explanations are presented to us are not fully accurate. It is up to us to find out for ourselves and understand what is happening in the world around us. Therefore another way to avoid disaster in America would be to better inform ourselves and not believe everything presented to us by the mainstream media.
Your one of them aren’t you? One of the teenagers who can’t think for yourself online anymore and you’re too afraid to express your own opinion, because of peer pressure and this new “like” culture. You’re hiding behind this mask and not showing your true form online, because you might be ridiculed and un-accepted by everyone for sharing your opinion. You should be focusing on school, homework and just living, not getting addicted to tweeting or updating your Facebook status. Those tweets or statuses you make have to get enough “likes” or comments, or you won’t “belong” or “be popular”.

In Intel China, Yong Li had passion to finish the assigned manual project, and he already worked hard on it for two months.

Throughout this guide into every company’s either success or downfall, one thesis remains evident, it is crucial that ideas are coordinated, focus is achieved, advantages properly utilized, and challenges declared in order for a company to uphold a good strategy. The lack of these components will ultimately lead to a downfall and leave a company’s future to chance where growth is almost stagnant and the company is at risk of not producing value. Good Strategy Thus far in class we have discussed several definitions of the word strategy. However, Rumelt’s approach to the subject is one that has not been touched on. When reading the book I found that he took more of an aggressive approach to the idea of strategy and he does so from the very first chapter in
Pocketing the difference between price tag, ongoing promotion and cash sales. * Involuntary rotation might not be good for the moral of the employees, lowering their loyalty and increasing their turnover * Lack of charismatic leadership: * Branch managers have no close relationship with their corporate superiors. * Performance evaluation is based on lowering theft percentage, not personal goals to achieve. Those factors result in poor perceived organizational support (OB, p. 110). This perception has a direct effect on employees’ engagement and organizational citizenship behavior towards the goals of the company.
Critique of “Imagining the Immigrant” In John Savant’s article “Imagining the Immigrant,” he implies that to fully understand the situation of immigration, we must imagine ourselves in the immigrant’s situation. The purpose of Savant’s article is to make his reader think and try to imagine what an immigrant goes through. Savant wants his readers to understand that immigration is something people do when they are seeking a better life here in America and when they have run out of options. He goes on to say that “Law and morality are not always commensurate”(1), meaning just because the law says immigration should be a certain way does not mean that that is the correct way morally to handle the situation. And although Savant makes a persuasive argument, he fails to tell both sides of illegal immigration.
