Essays on Diversity

Introduction

The behaviorism approach in psychology entails the suggestion that behavior can be studied through scientific research without delving into the inner mental states of the mind (Fridlund, Beck, Goldie & Irons, 2012). It is an approach considered as inclined to materialism such that, it opposes the fact that the mind acts independently. This particular approach to psychology assumes that human or even animal behaviors are heavily influenced by the immediate environment via reinforcement or association. One of the pioneers of this approach to psychology was the Russian psychologist, Ivan Pavlov who carried out extensive studies on classical conditioning (Fridlund, Beck, ...

Outsourcing manufacturing activities from a local community to the developing countries is a decision that raises different opinions for varied organizations, community members as well as the workers in the foreign nations. The ethicality of the whole process needs to be considered in such a way that the process does not have adverse consequences to the progress of the community. Several scholars have related the process of outsourcing manufacturing to a developing country with the need for an organization to reduce on the cost of production as well as exploit the labor readily available in the developing nations. This ...

Introduction

Some organizations are successful while others are not successful. There has been arguments as to what causes some organizations to succeed and what causes others to fail. Some literature support the view that organizations succeed if they recruit skilled and experienced employees. Other sources argue that success of organizations largely depend on the kind of leadership they have. Still, some argue that it is a combination of leadership and employees with certain qualities because leaders are required to direct employees to achieve the vision of their organizations. But what differentiate good leaders from bad leaders? Allio (2007) argued that ...

Reflection

Reflection 1. How does living in a multicultural society impact mental health and its treatment? And how does this relate to the principles of community psychology you have learned about?

Introduction

Throughout is history, the American society has exhibited an unrivalled sense of national identity. Being an American citizen has over the centuries since its independence was seen as the most significant facet of an individual living within US borders. As such, US citizens who are residents in other countries also take much pride in the numerous benefits accruing to them, by reason of their American citizenship. As Bradburn provides, the boundaries defining real aspects of what entails an American citizen have since been blurry and undefinable since independence (1094). The main cause for such an outcome was the fact ...

Statement of Purpose and Academic Motivation

Intercultural management practices and competence has been poorly explored by the academic community from the perspective of multicultural Finnish professional life (Weber, Festing & Dowling, 2013). In spite of the fact that various cultural issues in the employment context have been studied from the purely managerial perspective, the majority of these studies relate to either migration of the highly skilled professionals (Thomas & Peterson, 2014), reflected common international trends (Van der Vijer, Hemert & Poortinga, 2008) or evaluated financial performance of the institutions, which significantly attracted employees with different cultural backgrounds (Smith, 2004). This research, however, pursues a number of unique objectives, ...

Introduction

Mental events as asserted in behaviorism are considered to be unscientific and embrace the use of practical experiment in the collection of data other than the use of mental processes. Behaviorism, as argued by the different scholars of psychology, is an approach that is employed in the study of both animal and human behavior and holds that the conduct can be measured. However, it is paramount to appreciate the fact that the behaviorist denies the use of human mind and hold that behavior is an essential tool that can be utilized in the psychological studies. However, it is important ...

Internationalizing U.S. Colleges and Universities while Decreasing the Trade Deficit: the positive Double Whammy: A Case Study Vest, Boyer and Moses’ article builds a case for the internalization of American institutions for higher learning. The studies explain the various benefits that may arise due to international students coming to study in the United States. Vest, Boyer and Moses recommend that rather than encouraging American students to visit other countries, higher learning institutions should look for ways to attract foreign students. Other than promoting cultural diversity and cultural sharing, the increase in international students may result in decreasing the trade ...

Introduction

Over the past few months, the Customer Service department is facing a serious challenge in filling up the growing need for Customer Service Representatives (CSR) positions. This situation, if sustained much longer, may negatively impact on the superior quality that the company is providing its customers to support its high-quality products. The problem appears to be multi-faceted, which can only be determined until a thorough review of the job, the work flow, and job requirements (i.e., CSR knowledge, skills, and experience), in relation to current workloads and expectations, has been conducted. To insure an effective and efficient problem determination ...

The globalization phenomenon has led to increased diversity in regards to the type of patients that a nurse can come across while discharging his or her professional duties. Globalization has led to the breaking down of racial and cultural barriers which hitherto segmented various aspects of human interaction including the provision of health care services. With the increased patient diversity due to globalization, a need has thus emerged for cultural awareness training within nursing education and development realms (Campinha-Bacote, 2011). However, this is not the case as a majority of nurses who are churned out of the nursing education ...

Introduction

In America, Federalism came into practice when some states rejected the thought of a unitary government. Due to the large size of the country, the founding fathers allowed states to form powerful governments. State governments are used as a training ground or political labs for policing, where new ideas can be implemented and evaluated (El Camino College N.pag). In Federalism practicing states such as Florida, state government possesses the power of providing safety and public health, regulate interstate commerce, form government and conduct elections. However, Washington still carries the power of printing money, declaring war, establishing an army and ...

Remember the Titans (2000)

What does this statement mean to you – “Attitude reflects leadership?” Explain your answer!

ANSWER: “Attitude reflects leadership,” in the movie “Remember the Titans” (Yakin), mean that dispositional beliefs, values, and feelings of players was dictated by their leader’s own attitude.

Handling diversity may be ticklish and cumbersome, but it rolls out striking benefits in terms of harmony, finances, and cognition. There are multitudes of advantages of an inclusive workforce or the society. Talking about its strengths, the author Zainah Anwar has aptly outlined the cognitive significances.

Background In human resource management, recruitment is one of the most critical activities for an organization. Especially, proper selection of candidates in managerial roles often determines the success and failure of a company as managers are the main decision makers (Visa, Einolander and Vanharanta, 2015). Acme Manufacturing is not different. Recruitment of managers in a manufacturing company requires special screening as the environment in manufacturing locations is susceptible to hostility than other parts of the organization. A robust selection and recruitment process should have multiple well defined stages.

Domino’s Pizza in a New Market

History Domino’s Pizza, being the largest pizza franchised chain in the United States, shares the same history with Pizza hut, which is its rival.

Later on James sold his shares to raise money for a second hand car. As a result, Tom revitalized the company’s image including changing its name to Domino’s Pizza.

One of the basic requirements of scientific objectivism is in the sense of the desire to base the judgment solely on the facts, guided by the generally binding laws of logic alone. Preconceptions and biases that distort the actual truth and does not take the logical conclusions from objective data should not have the place in science (Paul, Miller and Paul). Meanwhile, in the social sciences this basic requirement of scientific is often broken under the influence of traditions and prejudices, preferences and interests, prevailing in individual nations, religions, countries, classes, as well as among the political parties or ...

Brief Introduction and Importance to Mental Health Nursing

The article entitled “Recovery in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): A Qualitative Study of Service Users’ Perspectives” written by Katsakou, Marougka, Barnicot, White, & Lockwood (2012) presented an exploration of the perception of recovery from individuals diagnosed with BPD, classified as service users, or those contracting professional mental health treatment. The study had been pursued due to the lack of clear understanding of the manner by which persons diagnosed with BPD attained their respective personal recovery goals and were deemed to be consistent with the recovery goals or clinical improvements provided by mental health practitioners.

Communication Skills in a Cross-Culturally Diverse Workplace

Introduction

Globalization has given rise to an environment that continues to change in terms of complexity as local business expand and begin competing with other businesses for a share of the vast global market. Globalization has essentially compelled corporations, nations and by extension, regions to be overly interdependent (Adair, Hideg & Spence, 2013). This has resulted from greater consumer awareness that has resulted in the development of new standards and demands resulting from the fact that different nations project varying cultural inclinations (D'Netto et al, 2014). Nations and more specifically business are embracing the ...

Over the past, the military and natural sciences have been overly male dominated fields. However, tireless and lengthy legal and professional advancements have borne fruits because women are single top growing subgroup in the military profession.

Improvement of delegating skills to empower and motivate others

Research has shown that non-performing leaders rate substantially low with the delegation of duties and responsibility in the organizations that they run since they command little respect. Consequently, the performances of the workers are equally minimal due to insufficient motivation and empowerment. Thus, proper delegation creates a productive environment that leads to high performance (p.81 & 82, 2015). As such, several skills can improve the leader’s delegating ability and consequently increase the organization performance. Firstly, the leader should invest in people skill such as effective interpersonal skills, managing differences and diversity communications among other skills. For instance, where a ...

Education Segregation in the United States

Education is a critical component of a country’s future, and the quality of a country’s citizens determines the level of prosperity its community will enjoy. In multicultural societies emerging in the modern world, there exist variables among citizens that limit their access to education. An advanced country should have in place an education system that offers all children the chance to a quality education. Nonetheless, many advanced countries education systems displays weaknesses that inhibit the ability of some students to acquire a meaningful education. Kozol examines this situation in his article, ‘From Still Separate, Still Unequal: America’ ...

The archeological interpretation and field work use various approaches that require the archeologist to think critically. One of the qualities of a good critical thinker that represents archeologists is the ability to be open-minded. That is, taking diverse perspectives when considering an issue. Bailey demonstrates this through his analysis of the concept of time. The analysis shows high levels of critical thinking among archeologists as they investigate the influence of time on a historical phenomenon. The author represents different archeological perspectives revealed by the analysis of four themes explaining archeological findings. For example, the second theme demonstrates how individual’ ...

Introduction

High performing and self-directed teams are found to be one of the greatest assets of an organization, as they help in achieving predefined goals and objectives. However, if these teams are not developed and managed appropriately, they can lead the organizations towards severe consequences. It has been established from the analysis of the study that was conducted by Biech (2007) that managers usually find difficulties in the establishment of high-performing and self-directed teams. In the present case, I have just attended a meeting with the manager that had the agenda of conveying information about the establishment of high performing ...

Diversity in the workplace is very common nowadays, thanks to globalization and an ever changing business and marketplace trend. Gender and race are the most common diversity factors associated with modern workplaces. However, age group, marital status, family responsibilities, economic status and religion of coworkers, make the workplace atmosphere rather cumbersome and harmful through various stereotypes (Solvic, 2011). Stereotyping is a human behavior common in multicultural workplaces wherein individuals place certain labels on others that result in making universal assumptions about others even as they have very little or absolutely no personal information about them. For instance, there are ...

Question 1 Ethnocentrism is described as a situation whereby one lacks tolerance to other cultural groups. It is also associated with people not accepting cultural diversity. Ethnocentrism brings about negative behaviors, negative prejudice and negative stereotypes towards other ethnic practices. Although ethnocentrism has an advantage in that an individual can sacrifice for his or her ethnic group, the advantage has resulted in different opinions from various scholars. Some argue that it reduces one’s intellectual willingness to communicate, and this brings misunderstanding. There are several ways of overcoming ethnocentrism. The first one is the idea of accepting multiculturalism. This ...

Observed Affects of Age, Gender, and Culture

Observed Affects of Age, Gender, and Culture

Introduction

The objective of this observational research is to test two hypotheses. First, that in contemporary society traditional male courtesies toward unknown females, such as allowing females to disembark first from an elevator, are rarely practiced by younger men, for example those under 40 years old. This is probably not because younger men are ill-mannered, but because females are perceived as more independent today than they were in the past and so do not require special treatment. Since this male deference is no longer offered consistently, a female elevator passenger is now in ...

The nine principles of creative leadership represent the practical guideline for its further implementation on the leadership position. The creativeness itself is not only the given characteristic of the person, but also a feature which can be achieved by a group of teammates in the appropriate conditions. The most significant principles of creative leadership, to my mind, are: everyone has creative potential, can learn to be more creative, creativity thrives in diversity and loves collaboration. The concept that only the certain group of individuals or specific people can be creative is wrongful in its roots. Each and every person ...

Discussion Questions

This statement by Drucker means the reason a business exists is to serve its customers as well as the general public. Any business is in place for a given purpose and if the business does not have any customers, then there is no reason why the business should be in place.

Culture refers to a state of manners, tastes and the intellectual development of a people coupled with their ideas, arts, and customs at a given time (Hernandez et al.). As such, it is the outline that guides human behavior and also influences individual thoughts and actions of a particular society.

The history of Jamestown dates back into June 1606 when King James I issued a charter to a team of entrepreneurs from London, also known as Virginia Company to build an English settlement in the Northern Part of America in a region called Chesapeake. On May 14, 1607, an English colony was established after Virginia Company settlers landed on Jamestown Island. Jamestown was almost brought to a rim of failure by famine, conflicts with the Native Americans, diseases and many other problems in the first two years before a new group of settlers rescued it in 1610.

Wirth, an eminent sociologist, put forth three major definitions for a city. The three definitions or dimensions are: the numbers of the population, the density of settlement, and the heterogeneity of the population and life of groups. The size of the population actually affects diversity in the city. Diversity comes in the form of the personalities, culture, occupations, and the ideas of the members of the population. This diversity in turn, influences the segregation of the population, and some form of zoning takes place in the city. The variations in personalities, skill levels and culture also give rise to ...

Changes in dynamics, increased immigration, globalization of the job market , government policies and increased racial, minority, gender, ethnic and regional tolerance have all contributed in making diversity an important factor in the workplace today.

Organizations are therefore finding it increasingly important to put in place strategies and programs aimed at ensuring the diversity of their human resource, given the significant role that ...
