Intercultural business communication is difficult even at the best of times, but when there are distinct differences in cultural realities, communication can be made even more difficult. Intercultural business communication and the difficulties associated with it can obviously also be made more complex by past conflicts between that nation and other nations. Vietnam, for instance, was embroiled in a bloody conflict with the United States for a number of years, and that conflict still influences Vietnamese-American relations today. Canada’s history with Vietnam is less problematic, but there are still issues that take place within cultural exchanges that cause problems for ...

First Nations and Indian Peoples

Q1) Distinguish between each of the following:

- Ecologist and environmentalist (give a Canadian example of each): An ecologist is a person who studies the complex relationships between living organisms and their surroundings.

1. In Judy Rebick’s essay The Culture of Overwork, her purpose is effectively to re-examine the cultural norms of ‘overwork,’ defined here as a pattern of workaholic behavior characterized by long hours, high stress, guilt at unfinished work, etc. Judging the essay by standards of completeness and the relevance of the essay’s support, Rebick’s essay is somewhat solid, though there could be further support and elaboration on her part to further prove the inherent ethical and physical problems with overwork, as well as finding solutions for the problem.

In her arguments, Rebick makes use of ...

I realized I am always ready to help sick people two years ago, when I took care of my nephew at the Calgary Children’s Hospital. He was very ill and at that time, they were some assistant nurses at the hospital. They allowed me to help them take care of sick children. The experience was instantly rewarding and I was fulfilled. I said to myself that when I become a full-pledged nurse, I shall instantly start my profession. It felt like a sort of a vocation or a calling and I realized it instantly. Being aboriginal, I am drawn to help ...

1. Examine the inequalities of health care in Canada.

Health disparities have been reported in Canada for almost 40 years, particularly among people of low socioeconomic status, Aboriginal identity, female gender, and who live in rural or remote communities (Touhy et al., 2012). “People who are part of a visible minority tend to be economically disadvantaged with blacks and Aboriginals faring worse” (Touhy, et al., 2012, p.52). Little has been done to enhance their access to health services. Aboriginal people have limited access to doctors and dentists even though they have more health care needs than non-Aboriginal Canadians (Fred, 2009). For example, the life expectancy of Aboriginals is ...

Indigenous people are common elements in many countries. They constitute a minor part of the population; especially in the Americas they are largely the inhabitants that were present on the territory historically before the arrivals of the Europeans.

It deals with the social integration and legislative norms such as human rights and right to self-determination. It is very important to note that nowadays the issue with indigenous rights has taken a strong political form in its nature, and the example for that is the Quebec.

Dan, Russell. A People's Dream: Aboriginal Self-Government in Canada. New York: Blackwell Pub., 2007. Print.

Russell examines some of the hardships that the Aboriginal people have to go through when proposing self-government. The author believes that the self-government of the Aboriginals is narrow and that the national government would not be willing to negotiate issues such as land. Given the political power is significant in most global nations; the author believes that the national government will propose a self-government jurisdiction where aboriginals will not enjoy any political power in the country. The key question the author addresses in his book is that: Does the self-government by the Aboriginals propose collective or individual rights of the ...

Despite the feudal past that characterizes the history of these tribes, it is apparent from both the poem and the excerpt that native nations of Canada continue to be discriminated against and being taken advantage of.

1. Raisins and raisin bran

The raisins in raisin bran do not settle at the bottom of a box or other container for two reasons. First, they are of smaller sizes than the raisins. If the raisins are placed in a container followed by the bran, the bran would slip though the spaces and go to the bottom. However, if the bran are placed first in the container and the raisins last, the raisins cannot slip through the bran no matter how one shakes the container. The second reason is that while individual pieces of bran are much lighter than the raisins, their total weight is ...
