Native Americans are among the cultural groups that express cultural sensitivity in terms of communicating with other cultural groups within the society. These indigenous groups have their own way of dealing or communicating with other cultural groups. In interpersonal interaction, they start building the relationship: “knowing a person, developing trust, and respect for the individual that fits well with Western interpersonal approaches” (Gray & Rose, 2012, p.82).

Merton’s five modes of adaptation involve conformity, ritualism, innovation, retreatism, and rebellion. Conformity relates to abiding by certain rules that have already been defined culturally. If certain goals are to be achieved in life, individuals will follow what their culture dictates. For instance, in certain cultures to achieve success in life involves going to school, securing a good job, await promotion, and at the same time look for a suitable partner to marry once someone has sufficient income. However, in most cases conforming does not necessary translate to achieving the desired goals. As such, individuals may seek unconventional means, ...

The inability of teachers to manage classroom behaviors contributes to poor student development (Stevens & Lingo, 2013; Funnell, 2009). In response to this limitation the ineffective manner of any adopted strategies utilized will affect the socialization of students and stunt any true learning or participation on the part of the student.(Shook, 2012).

There are many aspects to the field of psychology, and this has led to separate perspectives of psychology that have developed as approaches to understanding the mind and behavior. The major perspectives of psychology are Psychodynamic, Behaviorist, Cognitive, and Evolutionary; and they are based on very different underlying assumptions (Kowalski & Westen, 2011). The brain is also an integral factor in psychology as well as the biological processes occurring throughout the nervous system, and behavioral neuroscience is a field which studies these processes in relation to behavior (Kowalski & Westen, 2011).

The story of Jesus of Nazareth is one that is difficult to tell in written words, let alone in film. To be sure, it is not hallowed ground – the Roman Catholic Church permits these adaptations freely, not like Islamic institutions who are sensitive to adaptations of their own prophet Mohammed. However, there appears a number of constraints and restrictions that are otherwise absent if one makes a conventional film with a conventional character in its narrative center. For one, the director is constrained with telling the story faithfully to Jesus’s biblical sources. The scriptwriter, on the other hand, has the ...

The organizations have been adapting to different strategies with a view to beat the competition, as well as sustain their position in a given market. However, the organization also needs to consider both internal and external variables that could affect the overall performance of the organization. In today's challenging world, we often find the organizations competing in an over-crowded market. Hence, under such conditions, it is more important to focus upon either introducing a new product or to capture a new market, or to get into such a market space, wherein no one else can compete with the organization (Sparrow 2404-2427).

Theory of evolution as proposed by Darwin has for long hinged on the fossil records to prove the process of evolution. However, the prevalent gaps in the fossils led way to the development of the punctuated equilibrium theory that was proposed by Eldredge and Gould as an alternative to Darwin’s phyletic gradualism theory. The punctuated equilibrium postulated that speciation occurs in an isolated peripheral subsect of population as a rapid change after a period of stasis. Unlike the anagenetic speciation of phyletic gradualism, punctuated equilibrium promotes the concept of cladogenetic speciation. However, punctuated equilibrium does consider rapid anagenetic speciation as a ...

Evolution of Christianity Christianity had its origins out of Judaism around 1st century C.E. Its foundation is on teachings, death, resurrection and life of Jesus Christ and his followers named as "Christians." Concept of Christ’s Body point to life’s central aspect – belief of appearance of human body three days after death and continuation of its life in church’s central sacrament, the Eucharist where ritual involving gestures and words leads to a wheaten small disk forming the body within context of liturgy’s ritual. Christianity is divided in to three branches Eastern Orthodoxy, Protestantism and ...

Globalization has impacted the world economy positively; this has in turn increased the multinational corporations in a large way. Consequently, this has increased the migration of human resources across the globe. Therefore, in order for Europe to continue in business competitiveness with other world business organizations, there is a need for them to fetch the right human capital for their business ventures. Effective cross cultural management is important and communication within countries is critical for one to work efficiently to form a strong global union.

Personal identity is something, feature, behavior which is used to distinguish one person to another. A person is given an identity according to time he /she was born or place of origin or according to events that was happening at that time. The complexity of personal Identity comes to when two people of same body size, colour , sex, place of origin and same time of birth, seems diverse in their behavior and thinking capacity. It this divergence of persons that help us identify differently. The man cannot be the same all the time hence he/she cannot be ...

According to Durbin, (1996), the perception of an individual derives his or her behavior as he or she faces different situations. The way to respond to these situations is a reflection of its perception. Brouwer (1964) mentioned in his article ‘Power to see ourselves’, this way of thinking of an individual can be changed with learning. The perception of individual built on the basis of its knowledge, learning and its own thinking & believes. Both writers have emphasized on the perception building of an individual. External environment also plays a key role in the self development. The main reason is that ...

In order to have a successful treatment of any health problem, the family unit has a significant role to play in ensuring the full recovery of a patient. Cases that require family attention include cases of substance abuse. It is vital to note that most individuals who suffer from substance abuse have a constant interaction with other family members. This interaction can be either positive or negative. In some cases, constant interaction can aggravate the problem through increased drinking habits. This is because family members have an extremely powerful influence on how other members communicate or behave. Therapists have capitalized on this phenomenon ...

Stress is a “nonspecific response of the body to any demands made upon it.” (Murff, p. 102) Stress, when it is sufficiently severe, can cause psychological damage, as the body is exposed to heightened conditions for too long a period of time, making their behavior less effective. College students are often privy to “a unique set of stressors which can affect their daily experiences.” (Murff, p. 102) In college, there are multiple sources of stress that cause stress due to the ambiguity and strain that each role places on them. However, in order to become a successful college student, ways to ...

Organizations today face many challenges because of the changing business operations brought about by new strategies. In addition, managing strategic changes has become a crucial problem in most organizations’ culture. Johnson (1992) argued that most organizations fail to proceed because they have a tendency of doing things the usual way without considering the current business environment. On the other hand, other organizations formulate effective strategies but find it hard implementing the proposed changes. In addition, managers assume some issues of an organization have no effect on the overall operations but find them to be the most influential. In order to eliminate ...

The open theory refers to the idea of governing organizations while holding the belief that organizational performances are strongly linked to the environment (Tompkins, 2005). The environment or the climate, as others would describe it, constitute of the economic, political and social nature of that society. Open theory is a reaction to the pre Second World War organizational theories of human relations postulated by Elton Mayo and the administrative theory of Henri Fayol both of these theories argued that the organization is a self-contained entity (p.249). It is important to recognize that virtually all organizations have some degree of open ...

Teaching a class that has students of different dialects is challenging. Accent is capable of affecting communication. For example, facilitator’s diction may determine his or her success in communicating ideas. This means that educators should employ various techniques when handling multilingual classes. Multilingual classes often present diverse challenges to the facilitators, which require them to adjust accordingly. The challenge on the learners comes because of various factors that include social and cultural backgrounds. Accent and learning tools prove the most challenging tools in the multilingual classes. The article tackles the difficulties in teaching multilingual classes and solutions to the ...

The article’s topic talks about ways in which multiple traits undergo adaptive evolution using multiple mutations at a single gene. This is an important topic because different scientists have been coming up with varying theories regarding adaptive evolution. For example, Darwin claimed that adaptation only happens in the presence of slight successive variations. In supporting Darwin’s idea, Fisher, a scientist asserted that mutations tend to be pleiotropic in nature thus causing varying effects in relating population. Therefore, the topic is essential in assessing the effect of mutations as well as their pleiotropic effect (Linnen, Poh, Peterson, Barrett, Larson, Jensen & ...

4. The changes that the author refers to in the quote “and most men have yet to really adapt to the changes in women” center on the different roles that women play in the household nowadays. Women are the breadwinners now just as much as the men are; they have forsaken traditional homemaker roles and have more demanding lives. Thus I think the author is right. Women must balance work and family life so they are more at pressure to meet all of their responsibilities as best they can. Yet a lot of men cannot handle this aspect of marriage ...

Culture is an essential element in our daily living. It is believed that it is what makes us human. Indeed, culture includes ideals, beliefs and values that are vital in our societies. Thus, it determines the way people live their daily lives. This is why, when people enter another culture they experience a period of shock. After this period, the adaptation and assimilation process follows. Thus, cultural adaptation is the evolutionary course in which people modifies their personal customs and habits to fit in to the new culture in their new residence. Thus, cultural adaptation involves evolution, accommodation and change. ...

In an ecosystem, the existence of any species of animals or plants solely depends on the capability to adapt to its environment. This is true because, those species which are poorly adapted become extinct. For example, trees that could not adapt to harsh conditions of the desert were eliminated and those species that were well adapted were spared. This is basically what is called natural selection (Jeff et al 9). Similarly, those animal species that could not adapt to any given environmental conditions of an ecosystem were easily eliminated out of existence. Human being, on the other hand, ...

Willis in the article “Young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder” offers a detailed explanation about the Autism disorder. Most importantly, the author outlines the main characteristics related with autism and gives some straightforward strategies of dealing with autism. Notably, the author concentrates on how to assist these children to adapt to preschool settings. This paper gives a reflection of Willis’ article and establishes how the information can be used in a classroom set up. Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurological disorder that affects children under the age of five. It has at least five identifiable types and its’ characteristics appear along a continuum ...

1. Discuss what determines an individual’s Personality characteristics Some people are loud and aggressive while others are quiet and passive. Why is this so? This question can only be answered by understanding the issue of individual personality characteristics. They are an enduring part of emotions, thoughts and behaviors that characterize an individual. They are; external traits which are observable, internal states such as thoughts and situational adjustment. According to McShane & Glinow (2010), personality can be described as the manner in which a person interacts with others or reacts to others. As such, personality is defined using measurable traits ...

Humans are peculiar creatures endowed with ability to think, reason, socialize, and make rational and logical decisions. This aspect differentiates human beings from other animal species living in the universe. Unlike animals, human beings have formulated and enacted laws that guide their daily activities. Nations across the globe have formulated and enacted criminal laws through the act of parliament with the aim of maintaining status quo and social order (Engdahl, 2010). Although criminal laws differ across nations, they remain effective in deterring crime; promote coexistence and unity among the people. Under the provisions of the constitution, members of the ...

(937 words) Latin became the language of Roman Imperial power and therefore all the land and peoples were familiar with the common form of ancient Latin after they were conquered by Roman military force. The question is - Why from all the languages did Latin become so popular. On the one hand Latin was the official language of the Roman bureaucracy. On the other hand a less formal Latin was used by the soldiers who conquered different regions and because some of them stayed to marry local women and raise their family, the military helped spread Latin. Latin carried ...

Biodiversity and sustainability, two of the major factors to determine if an ecosystem is habitable and sufficient for any life form, may it be fauna, fawn or human kind. However, there are only a few sites left around the globe which can be considered sustainable and contains biodiversity as climate change continues to affect the planet. Some areas have become barren, while a few remained arable but in the risk of being converted into commercial lands for homes or businesses. In the United States, the problem of pollution not only affected its once diverse ecosystem, which is considered the home of ...

In this sense, plagiarism is considered as an immoral practice towards the intellectual property rights of the original authors. With respect to this, persons found guilty of plagiarism can be dealt with regards to property rights breach. Plagiarism in its nature is viewed as a violation especially to the readers of ...

Culture shock is often experienced by sojourners or people who temporarily reside in another place or another country for a certain amount of time. Unlike vacationers whose stays are short, the sojourner stays in the new place for a considerable amount of time, requiring them to adapt to the new culture. However, when the new culture is very different from the sojourner’s own then culture shock can happen, which often manifests in the form s of physical, mental, and social distress for the sojourner.

Culture shock is the inability of a person to easily adapt to the culture of a new place, ...

- Chicken Maharaja Mac This product was developed by McDonald’s specifically for India because Indians do not eat beef because it is prohibited by their religion, Hinduism. Indians consider cows as sacred. To adapt to this regional belief, McDonald’s developed the Chicken Maharaja Mac, instead of offering the Big Mac, which is made of beef. It is a “double filling of the perfectly browned chicken breast that lightly flirts with a mixture of onions, lettuce, tomato, and gooey cheese or sesame bedecked bread buns”. This adaptation to the culture of India has made McDonald’s more successful in ...

A species is a group organisms that have a similar origin and can interbreed. This refers to individuals that may look seemingly different but have the ability to interbreed and bring forth young ones. By having the ability to interbreed, this implies that the organs of the individuals are compatible and have the ability of mating and producing. This may result in a new breed, which will have a combination of both features from the parent individuals. When we talk of human as a species, it implies that two humans from different races have the ability of mating and bringing forth a young one that ...

Knowing that there are different types of culture is essential for every type of healthcare practitioner, especially for those who are required to treat and interact with patients. Examples of these professions are physical therapists, occupational therapists, medical technologist, physicians, and allied health nurses. These medical professionals treat their patients by either introducing an intervention to them, such as administering comprehensive exercise programs for rehabilitation specialists and prescribing medications and therapies for physicians and physiotherapist. Most, if not all, of these treatments require that the patient cooperates. In fact, patient cooperation is considered as an important determinant that medical ...

Gross motor skills are those skills required for body movement which develop as a human being grows from infancy to adult hood. These skills include walking, jumping, running, body balance and various other body movements (Kail, Cavanaugh & Cavanaugh, 2010). I focused on two children without any form of disabilities. The children were both five years old and in kindergarten. I focused on their various activities in their daily life. The two children were both very active and playful. They were both able to jump over a one foot obstacle, run a hundred yards non-stop and were also able to sit upright ...

Inclusion essentially refers to the concept in which students and learners are placed in the most non restrictive environment of learning. This would occur despite the differences in the students arising from disabilities in some of them. Inclusion, therefore, departs from the practice of exclusion in which disabled students are restricted and separated from the normal learning environment. The rationale behind inclusion is the argument that the students would be exposed to a non restrictive world ultimately. Consequently, it beats logic to educate them under restriction and then later release them into the free world. The inclusion advocates insist that ...

According to Parker and Smith (2010), individuals have the ability to learn perform health care, this type of care is referred to as Therapeutic Self-Care Demand (TSCD). They also states that the Orem Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory was formulated to explain why patients need nursing care and why patients should be assisted through nursing. This theory also states that individuals continue to demand self-care. (Parker and Smith, 2010, pp 121)

The self care theory on the other hand states that, individuals have the power and capabilities to learn and perform TSCD through self care agency, this can be achieved ...

In its unabated jihadi movement, Al-Qaeda’s continuous fanning many violent activities of others by orienting that violence to the United States ...

Global corporate success is determined by the interplay of socio-political and cultural factors. Failure to understand the unique cultural identities of the employees and customers could lead to cultural conflicts. Cultural conflicts are a serious problem in the management of multinational enterprises. For example, many western multinationals find it hard to operate in the Asian markets that are particularistic as opposed to western markets that are universal. They also find it hard to adapt to the demand for maintaining existing social structures and power hierarchies, personal connections and the preference for informal, compromising ways to avoid confrontation and conflicts. A ...

2. NEUROANTHROPOLOGY - is a subject in physical anthropology that talks about the evolutionary process and transformation of the brain and how it influences human evolutionary behavior. It’s also known as the link between anthropology and neuroscience that tackles the subject of ...

The biggest problem facing firms operating across international borders is choosing the right management in terms of their nationality. The problem presents itself in three areas; the cost of using the managers of the parent country or the third party, political and motivational considerations and the fact that managers from the host country understand the culture and the people better (Lee, & Larwood, 1983). The main reason, however, for return of expatriates before the end of their foreign assignment is frustration resulting from poor cross-cultural adaptation. Differences in Cultural, religion, values, as well as geographical location, are some of ...

According to Senna (10), the sonnets are among the best and most popular works by William Shakespeare. In addition, some have been adapted as plays in English literature. Written between 1592 and 1598, the sonnets total up to 154 in number. Senna (10) notes that Shakespeare’s sonnets were not officially published until 1609. This form of play-write common during Shakespeare’s era lost its appeal even before his demise (Senna 11). The sonnets try to show Shakespeare’s adulation of a young man and his admiration of a married woman (Senna 12). Some authors mixed Shakespeare’s sonnets with ...

The importance and relevance of learning within teams has been on the rise as the use of team-based work is being increased by organizations (Cacioppe, 1999). In business, organizational knowledge development and organizations realizing that working in teams makes better use of the skills available are two reasons for the rise in team-based work (Cacioppe, 1999). The theory supports this as Ellemers et al. (2004: 461) state, “as organizations continue to move toward group-based systems, research on knowledge development within (teams) is increasingly important.” Gaining an understanding for adaptive learning helps to energize people to work for the team ...

1.0 introduction Thermoregulation is basically temperature regulation. It is a homeostatic process where by the internal temperature of an organism is kept constant within a specific range despite fluctuations in the external temperatures. It is important to note that all homeostatic systems use negative feedback mechanism. This implies that whenever there is a change in external or surrounding temperature of an organism, consequently a corrective mechanism is initiated within or without the organism to counter the change. Not all animals can maintain a constant body temperature; this is possible only for birds and mammals. Such animals are referred to as endotherms or commonly ...

When multinational enterprises invest in any foreign country, they should consider the legal compensation laws of that country. The compensation practices differ from one country to another. Multinational firms should understand these foreign country compensation practices so that, when they invest in any country, they are able to carry out the compensation practice according to the law of that country.Multinational firms have their own compensation procedure and are also guided by the international policies of human resource management. The study of a foreign country’s compensation laws helps the firms to harmonize the three aspects of compensation. It also helps ...

Sustainability: How much for a balance?

We have to find some kind of environmental balance in our communities. The US is famous (or infamous) for over consumption and being wasteful. Zens (2008) can see an upside to this, “In a country where conspicuous consumption is the norm . . . there should be a lot of opportunities and scope to live more sustainably without sacrificing quality of life. In fact, quality of life will most likely increase with a more sustainable society.”

a. living within our means, b. budgeting our resources, and c. reducing pollution production. Simple to define but it is difficult ...

Ownership strategies involve the practice of the whole team taking care of customer’s problems. Any customer should be served by anyone in the department. In fact effort should be put together so that an effective service is give to the customer. If a customer requests a technician immediately at the office, the sense of ownership should come in and any technician should be able to handle the customer even if it is not his direct responsibility to do so. According to Rene (2010), delays in customer service can lead to disappointment. This can be avoided by having the principle ...

Firms use the process of financial statement analysis to identify existing or potential financial weaknesses and strengths in their units. The process of financial statement analysis also helps in identifying proper connection between parameters in a profit and loss account and those in the balance sheet. Firms prepare financial statements in order to satisfy certain external, both business and legal, external reporting responsibilities. The statements are also important when it comes to making certain, especially financial, decisions. Where decisions have to be made by the management, it is imperative that those decisions be grounded on the framework of financial ...

This research proposal outlines measures to be undertaken in exploring the unintended consequences of unemployment. The researcher wishes to advance the assumption that unemployment is inevitably linked to serious economic and social dysfunctions occurring within the confines of Social Structure. Many of these irregularities are obvious, but others are rather insidious and concealed. Together they define the unintended consequences of unemployment. Unintended consequences of unemployment from the perspective of this researcher embodies a conceptual framework explaining all psychosocial factors, medical elements and subsequent descriptive emergent variables that adequately represent a sequel of events for which unemployment is inevitably the underlying force. ...

The brain regulates the choice of a person to be physically active. Stimuli from the environment and from the tissues excite receptors and nerves which in turn excite the muscles. The central nervous system has three general areas that are associated with the complexity of the movement and the familiarity of the various stimuli. The areas include the spinal cord which handles simple reflex actions, the lower brain which organizes more complex responses while the cerebral cortex controls the most complicated responses and stores general motor programs. The spinal cord consists of two-way tracks of nerve fibers which carries both ...
