Every customer has a value to an organization and every customer has a price to that organization. Customers are the lifeblood and source of revenue to a business (O’Rourke, p.275). Dr. Wallace’s family had a genuinely unpleasant experience in an Olive Garden restaurant with the customer service. On a Tuesday evening in Mishawaka, IN, Mr. Wallace, his two young daughters, and his disabled father arrived at the establishment at 8:15 p.m. for supper. The restaurant is usually open until 10 p.m. during the week and 11 p.m. on the weekend, so 8:15 p.m. was a fairly decent time to arrive at the restaurant for supper.
As soon as we entered the place our mindsets changed, there were many Peruvian pictures and souvenirs, clothes of many colors hanging on the walls and the restaurant was very crowded with very few tables to spare. ‘’Good morning, how many will be dining?” the waitress said “Two, my sister and I”. The waitress took us to the corridor, and gave us the table next to window. It had a very nice view because we could see the whole restaurant from my seat, she handed out the menu and waitress said ‘’Welcome, what can I get you to drink?’’. I said “I’ll have a coke and my sister will have some water with a lemon”.
To what extent was the growing hostility towards immigrants in the 1920s a result of political fears? America was widely believed to be the 'land of opportunity' where people, no matter what they're background or where they came from could come to America and begin a new life. However by 1919 the 'open door policy' that America had was beginning to close and and hostility towards immigrants was increasing. Woodrow Wilson in 1915 spoke of everybody in one nation from different nations coming together and developing into the American man and woman. However, this was not the case.
When he says “Englishmen are English, Frenchmen are French, Chinese are Chinese” and “Americans are a nation born of an idea: not the place, but the idea” he uses metaphors to show how different America is than any other country in the world (White 562). Other countries are known for their industry or their agriculture, but the United States is known for the idea that shaped the reform of many other governments and the country has been brought to the vanguard of almost everything it does because of this idea of free-will and
The history of melting pot theory is aligned with J. Hector de Crevecoeur, when in 1782, he envisioned America as one where people of many different nations were melted into what may be construed as a new race of men. Of course, the reality was that there was slavery at the time, and while there were many immigrants, they were mostly white, Anglo Saxons. The Indians who were native to the Americas were not accepted into the league of white men. That said, immigration would later pick up during the latter part of the nineteenth century, and early twentieth, and then one might construe America as a melting pot. Still, that is not necessarily true either.
Elliot Park 1.13.12 AP Government Idiot America America was created on intellectual curiosity by the founding fathers. Intellects is what aided America to break away from the British. Our country was built on great minds and thinkers, but what about America today? Since intellects was what we were built on, where do we stand on intellects as a country? Well we can look at are scores compared to the other countries in the world, and our worldwide comparison for math scores has us, America, at number 25.
She is eighty-four years old and along with other health issues, the dementia has become a major concern. When our family first noticed she was becoming more and more forgetful, we did not think that much about it. Then we saw that she she was forgetting to take her medication and forgetting where her car was parked. My aunts decided that it was not safe for her or for others on the road for her to be driving. As time passed, we noticed she was having difficulties in other areas as well.
(2004), Samuel P. Huntington, argues that this high level of cultural diversity prevalent in the USA can disintegrate the country, as it’s experiencing a growing cultural gap between the adherents of the Anglo-protestant culture and the immigrants, who have not yet assimilated into this culture. Key features of the Anglo-protestant culture include; “Christian religion with emphasize on the protestant values and morals, a work ethic, the English language, British traditions, justice and the limits of government power, and a legacy of European art, literature, philosophy, and music”. As a consequence hereof the American people can lose their national identity and unity, as ideology alone is a weak glue to hold people together otherwise lacking racial, ethnic, and cultural sources of community. The solution is therefore, for Americans to recommit themselves to the Anglo-Protestant culture, traditions and values. Phrased differently, America should quit embracing the idea of a multicultural society and work towards becoming a mono-cultural one.
This world has been divided into flotsam and jetsam with its each organ fighting with the other to prove Home Page » Miscellaneous A World Not Neatly Divided Submitted by dhavaljigar on March 12, 2012 Category: Miscellaneous Words: 1047 | Pages: 5 Views: 41 Report this Essay “Divided we fall, united we stand” it means a lot in todays era where politicians, scholars, cultural experts are busy in creating cultural diversities. Amartya Sen in his essay in New York times on November 23, 2001 is discussing the same idea. According to Sen the system of cultural division is problematic as cultural and civilization are not the only point in focus for separation. World civilizations are like a deep woven net whose separation is not possible. He gives example of cultural diversity of India and its emperors Akbar and Aurangzeb.
Family Roles within Cultures Dustin R. Johnson Anthropology 101 Rachel Burke July 25, 2010 Introduction Many different cultures celebrate diversity and universal traditions. We know that we share certain traditions with other cultures as well as different traditions from other cultures. Not every culture knows the nuclear family that is prominent in the United States. Even now in the United States, the family has been redefined. Each country will be explained in terms of evolution over the years.
