Unit 9 Discussion Given the rapid pace of globalization within the world of business, organizations are finding themselves working more frequently both in and with foreign nations. Thus, some of the most difficult challenges in international HRM (IHRM) originate from the cultural differences encountered in various countries while conducting business as a multinational organization. The challenge becomes particularly acute when businesspeople lack knowledge of or sensitivity to cultural differences, the result of which may be mistakes made in business or personal interactions that offend or alienate foreign constituents. Hypothetical Scenario Assume that your management team is seeking your help with IHRM in a world of diversity. Specifically, they want a brief report about international business etiquette, customs, or protocol. The report should compare and contrast cultural differences potentially encountered while transacting business between other countries and the United States. For this discussion, complete the following: 1. Select one country outside the United States. 2. Select a topic, and perform research about business etiquette, customs, or protocol for that country. You may use one of the suggested topics below or another pertinent topic of your choice. 3. Briefly discuss the similarities and differences with respect to cultural diversity while conducting business in your chosen country and the United States. Suggested topics to research may include, but are not limited to: · Appearance. · Behavior. · Communication. · Time and space orientation. · Formality. · Tolerance. · Saving face. · Protocol for exchanging business cards. · Women in the workplace. · View on and practices about corruption. · Nonverbal communication. ...

Learning Activity 1
In the readings for this week we learned about the Demand Model that was introduced by Professor Michael Porter. According to the model, the ability of the firms in an industry whose origin is in a particular company to be successful in the international arena is shaped by four factors (1) their home country’s demand conditions, (1) their home country’s factor conditions, (3) related and supporting industries within their home country, and (4) strategy, structure, and rivalry among domestic competitors.
Learning Activity
Respond to the following questions:
(1) Which of the four elements of the diamond model do you believe has the strongest influence on a firm’s fate when it competes in international markets?
(2) Provide an example of a company that demonstrates this ability to compete internationally and how this company demonstrates this ability.
(3) Which of the three types of International Strategies that were discussed in our readings does this company demonstrate? Provide a justification for your strategy choice.
Learning Activity 2
Multinational Organizations
1. International firms or multinational corporations are organizations that conduct business operations across national borders.
2. The strategic-management process is conceptually the same for multinational firms as for purely domestic firms, although the process is more complex for international firms due to more variables and relationships.
3. More time and effort are required to identify and evaluate external trends and events in multinational organizations than in domestic corporations.
4. Multinational corporations face unique and diverse risks, such as expropriation of assets, currency losses through exchange rate fluctuations, unfavorable foreign court interpretations of contracts and agreements, social/political disturbances, import/export restrictions, tariffs, and trade barriers.
5. Before entering international markets, firms should scan relevant journals and patent reports, seek the advice of academic and research organizations, participate in international trade fairs, form partnerships, and conduct extensive research to broaden their contacts and diminish the risk of doing business in new markets.
The Global Challenge
1. Few companies can afford to ignore the presence of international competition. Firms that seem insulated and comfortable today may be vulnerable tomorrow.
a. How to gain and maintain exports to other nations
b. How to defend domestic markets against imported goods.
2. America's economy is becoming much less American, as a world economy and monetary system are emerging. More and more countries around the world are welcoming foreign investment and capital. As a result, labor markets have steadily become more international.
3. Many countries became more protectionist during the recent global economic recession. Protectionism refers to countries imposing tariffs, taxes, and regulations on firms outside the country to favor th ...

Things Weren’t What They Seemed
When your organization decided to go “global” two years ago, the executives didn’t know what they were
getting into. While the international market was attractive for your company’s product, the overall plan
wasn’t executed well. The organization was having great success selling its baby bath product in the
domestic market, and once that market was saturated, the organization decided to sell the product in
South America. Millions of dollars’ worth of research went into product marketing, and great success was
had selling the product internationally. It was only when the organization decided to develop a sales
presence in Peru and purchase a company there that the problems started. While market research had
been done on the product itself, the executives of the company did little research to find out the cultural,
economic, and legal aspects of doing business in that country. It was assumed that the Peru office would
run just like the US office in terms of benefits, compensation, and hiring practices. This is where the
strategy went wrong.
Many cultural aspects presented themselves. When executives visited the Peru office, the meeting was
scheduled for 9 a.m., and executives were annoyed that the meeting didn’t actually start until 9:45 a.m.
When the annoyed executives started in on business immediately, the Peruvian executives disapproved,
but the US executives thought they disapproved of the ideas and weren’t aware that the disapproval came
from the fact that Peruvians place a high emphasis on relationships, and it was rude to get down to
business right away. When the executives walked around the office and spoke with various employees,
this blunder cost respect from the Peruvian executives. Because Peru has a hierarchical structure, it was
considered inappropriate for the executives to engage employees in this way; they should have been
speaking with management instead.
Besides the cultural misunderstandings, executives had grossly underestimated the cost of compensation
in Peru. Peru requires that all employees receive a bonus on the Peruvian Independence Day and another
on Christmas. The bonus is similar to the monthly salary. After a year of service, Peruvians are allowed to
go on paid vacation for thirty calendar days. Higher benefit costs were also an issue as well, since Peru
requires workers to contribute 22 percent of their income to pension plans, and the company is required
to pay 9 percent of salaries toward social (universal) health insurance. Life insurance is also required to be
paid by the employer after four years of service, ...

2 Cross-Cultural Business
Learning Objectives
Helsinki, Finland—Nokia Corporation (www.nokia.com) is the world’s number one manufacturer of mobile handsets. The company’s 112,000 employees in more than 150 countries generate $79 billion in sales annually. Nokia uses its knowledge of cultures to control 40 percent of the global handset market.
Nokia is especially talented at detecting consumer needs in emerging markets. China and India represent Nokia’s first and second largest markets ahead of third-place United States. Nokia knows that in India a buyer selects a handset that has the right look and style and projects the right image. But for a consumer in China, a handset needs to be the right bargain. And Nokia recently finished a year-long study of the handset needs of people who live in Accra, capital city of the African nation Ghana.
Source: Jeffrey Barbee.
Nokia spends around $8 billion a year on research and development. Anthropologists and psychologists first travel the globe for Nokia to learn how people behave and communicate. Personnel at Nokia’s headquarters in Finland then blend these unique insights with emerging global trends to design new handsets. Finally, the company develops phones suitable for a variety of markets but localizes each one with colors, surface textures, services, and ring-tones.
Nokia maintains its competitive edge through careful cultural research. For example, company anthropologists learned that people in rural areas of emerging markets need a phone that can be shared among many users. So Nokia added the capability to save each person’s contacts separately and installed a call tracker that imposes a time or cost limit on each call. Handsets designed for emerging markets also feature menus in local languages, a one-touch flashlight in case of power outages, and a demo program for those who have never used a mobile phone. As you read this chapter, consider how culture influences international business and how company actions affect cultures.1
This chapter is the first of three that describe the links between international business activity and a nation’s business environment. We introduce these topics early because of their strong influence on how commerce is conducted in different countries. In fact, success in international business can often be traced directly to a deep understanding of some aspect of a people’s commercial environment. This chapter explores the influence of culture on international business activity. Chapter 3 presents the roles of political and legal systems, and Chapter 4 examines the impact of economic systems and emerging markets on international business.
An assessment of any nation’s overall business climate is typically the first step in analyzing its potential as a host for international commercial activity. This means addressing some important questions, such as the following: What language(s) do the people speak? What is the climate like? Are the local people open to new ideas a.

Requires Adaptation
Adaptation is a key concept in international marketing
To successfully deal with individuals, firms, or authorities in foreign countries, managers should exhibit:
open tolerance,
flexibility,
humility,
justice/fairness,
ability to adjust to varying tempos,
curiosity/interest,
knowledge of the country,
liking for others,
ability to command respect, and
ability to integrate oneself into the environment

Unless marketers remain flexible by accepting differences in basic patterns of thinking, local business tempo, religious practices, political structure, and family loyalty, they are hampered, if not prevented, from reaching satisfactory conclusions to business transactions.

Cultural Imperatives, Electives
and Exclusives
Cultural imperatives:
business customs and expectations that must be met, conformed, recognized and accommodated if relationships are to be successful
Cultural electives:
areas of behavior or to customs that cultural aliens may wish to conform to or participate in but that are not required
5-‹#›
Cultural imperatives are “must do” things in another culture, such as meeting and greeting, exchange of business cards in Asian cultures (eg: China, Japan and Korea). Cultural electives are optional activities that a foreigner may or may not want to engage in, such as drinking aperitifs (strong alcoholic drinks) before lunch in the Czech Republic or coffee in Saudi Arabia, no offense is taken if one refuses to participate in these cultural customs.

MNCs and globalization go hand-in-hand. After reading this week's lesson, find an MNC and describe ways it has been a good citizen or a bad citizen. Don't use Nestle since it is described in the lesson.
Instructions: Your initial post should be at least 350 words. Please respond to more than 2 other students. Responses should be a minimum of 150 words and include direct questions, evidence from the literature, alternative points of view or additional insight. For more information, please review the forum discussion rubric attached below. This is the rubric that will be used for all of the forums in this class.
In this lesson we will discuss another type of non-state actor in the international system. Multinational corporations (MNCs), broadly defined, are business entities that have facilities—whether production, administrative, or distribution-related—in two or more different countries. The influence of MNCs in the international system demonstrates how foreign relations and economics are intertwined. MNCs are a relatively recent development, and although they do not have the political sovereignty or military strength possessed by states, they still exert considerable influence over the international system. MNCs also have a mixed reputation in terms of the benefits they provide and the harm they can cause, especially in the poor countries where they often locate production.
· Defining multinational corporations (MNCs)
· Types of MNCs and their characteristics
· Why MNCs exist
· How MNCs influence the international system: benefits and disadvantages
Multinational corporations are some of the most powerful non-state actors in the international system. Some researchers distinguish between a multinational corporation (MNC), which has headquarters in multiple countries, and a transnational corporation (TNC), which is headquartered in one country by operates in others as well. Because these terms are often used interchangeably in common usage, for the purposes of this lesson we will just use the term MNC to mean any company operating in multiple countries.
LOCATED IN MULTIPLE COUNTRIES
There is actually no agreed-upon definition of what constitutes a multinational corporation. Generally speaking, an MNC hosts some part of its operations in a country other than the one where it is legally headquartered. In that sense, it is literally multi-national.
CORPORATION
A corporation is a group of people, such as a company, that is legally authorized to act as a single entity. It may be privately owned, or publicly traded—meaning that stockholders are legally the corporation’s owners. Economists and legal scholars continue to debate, however, whether there should be more narrow criteria for categorizing MNCs, and what these criteria should be.
OWNERSHIP
Some argue that ownership is the key feature that defines whether a company is an MNC or not. By this narrow definition, a firm is only a multinational if it is owned by nationals of multiple countries. ...

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
Introduction:
Dawn of economic process has raised up, where international business is changing into more and more common. Transnational organizations will measure among the foremost profitable within the world. An organization must bear in mind of the speech and civilization of the country wherever it plans to board with its asset. Politics and laws of the condition will moreover produce international trade simple or onerous. With the achievement of international business, its outlook is polished, on a planet scale. Effective organization of international business process includes inexpensive organization of money, workers, expansion, advertising, and announcement. This is over and over again so the association, completion and organization of the operation go well. The long lope of international business is intense as fiscal process and therefore they would similar to for catholicity persistence. Even though the business goes globally there are some issues to be considered around as such

As people engage in more international travel and become more famili.pdf
As people engage in more international travel and become more familiar with other countries,
will cultural difference decline as a roadblock to international understanding or will the continue
to be a major barrier? Defend your answer. Why are multinational enterprises getting involved in
corporate social responsibility and sustainable business practices? Are they displaying a sense of
social responsibility or it is merely a matter of good business, or both?
Solution
Multinational and cross-cultural teams are likewise becoming ever more common, meaning
businesses can benefit from an increasingly diverse knowledge base and new, insightful
approaches to business problems. However, along with the benefits of insight and expertise,
global organizations also face potential stumbling blocks when it comes to culture and
international business.
While there are a number of ways to define culture, put simply it is a set of common and
accepted norms shared by a society. But in an international business context, what is common
and accepted for a professional from one country, could be very different for a colleague from
overseas. Recognizing and understanding how culture affectsinternational business in three core
areas: communication, etiquette, and organizational hierarchy can help you to avoid
misunderstandings with colleagues and clients from abroad and excel in a globalized business
environment.
1. Communication
Effective communication is essential to the success of any business venture, but it is particularly
critical when there is a real risk of your message getting “lost in translation.” In many
international companies, English is the de facto language of business. But more than just the
language you speak, it’s how you convey your message that’s important. For instance, while the
Finns may value directness and brevity, professionals from India can be more indirect and
nuanced in their communication. Moreover, while fluent English might give you a professional
boost globally, understanding the importance of subtle non-verbal communication between
cultures can be equally crucial in international business.
What might be commonplace in your culture — be it a firm handshake, making direct eye
contact, or kiss on the cheek — could be unusual or even offensive to a foreign colleague or
client. Where possible, do your research in advance of professional interactions with individuals
from a different culture. Remember to be perceptive to body language, and when in doubt, ask.
While navigating cross-cultural communication can be a challenge, approaching cultural
differences with sensitivity, openness, and curiosity can help to put everyone at ease.
2. Workplace etiquette
Different approaches to professional communication are just one of the innumerable differences
in workplace norms from around the world. CT Business Travel has put together a useful
infographic for a quick reference of cultural differences in business etiquette globally.

International Business Trade Manual (Portfolio) 2013-2014Written.docx
International Business Trade Manual (Portfolio) 2013-2014
Written Portion of Trade Manual Due __Wednesday, January 8, 2014_
Over the course of the semester each student will conduct research, with their partners, on a country of their choice (IB country). The country cannot be your country of origin, the USA and two groups cannot study one country (during the first few weeks of school groups will pick countries through a random process). The country must be a current trading partner with Canada.
Purpose of the Trade Manual

NURS 6660 PMH Nurse Practitioner Role I: Child and Adolescent
February 3, 2019
Personal Philosophy Statement
Patient care is complex system that is delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Its success requires perfect harmony between the all the involving members. It is vital that the care we deliver as healthcare professional is patient – centered. Therefore, it is important to know the population that we are serving, its needs and its cultural background. In the United States more than any other country, healthcare providers should develop their cultural awareness and competence.
The stigma around the mental illness and the quality of treatment that mentally ill individuals receive have inspired me to become a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). I have felt the necessity to stand up and do what is right as my contribution to fix this urgent issue. In our society, physical or medical diseases provoke empathy, but we demonstrate disdain for people impacted by mental conditions. Like we always say, “See it and fix it”. So, passivity is as wrong as the wrong doing.
As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I will have the opportunity to care for a multicultural population with different conceptions or point of view about mental health. It is my role and responsibility to understand the cultural differences and provide support to those in need. I have learned that in the healthcare system, we should not be judgmental. My personal philosophy is to treat each and every patient as I would like to be treated. It is a moral obligation to use my knowledge to serve and educate individuals in my community. As a healthcare professional, I believe that I have the capability to change to way mentally ill individuals are viewed and treated. Through my philosophy, I will be able to advocate for holistic and empathic care for individuals with mental health conditions.
Self – Assessment
I have decided to transition from registered nurse (RN) to psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) to better serve my community. So, I have always said and believe that the more someone has the he/she can give. When I decided to go back to school to pursue my goal, I said to myself “I have to choose one of the best schools”. Finally, I have chosen Walden University that I believe meet my expectations. For my Practicum, I have chosen the Compass Health System which has been established in the South Florida since 1990, and it is well respected in the community. They offer their services through their offices and most of the hospital with mental health crisis. They are one the major teaching facilities in mental health in the South Florida.
I have selected preceptors who have been working with Compass Health System for several years. So, they acquired a very solid experience in the field. I have taken great advantage of their experience to strengthen my assessment s.

2 Cross-Cultural Business
Learning Objectives
Helsinki, Finland—Nokia Corporation (www.nokia.com) is the world’s number one manufacturer of mobile handsets. The company’s 112,000 employees in more than 150 countries generate $79 billion in sales annually. Nokia uses its knowledge of cultures to control 40 percent of the global handset market.
Nokia is especially talented at detecting consumer needs in emerging markets. China and India represent Nokia’s first and second largest markets ahead of third-place United States. Nokia knows that in India a buyer selects a handset that has the right look and style and projects the right image. But for a consumer in China, a handset needs to be the right bargain. And Nokia recently finished a year-long study of the handset needs of people who live in Accra, capital city of the African nation Ghana.
Source: Jeffrey Barbee.
Nokia spends around $8 billion a year on research and development. Anthropologists and psychologists first travel the globe for Nokia to learn how people behave and communicate. Personnel at Nokia’s headquarters in Finland then blend these unique insights with emerging global trends to design new handsets. Finally, the company develops phones suitable for a variety of markets but localizes each one with colors, surface textures, services, and ring-tones.
Nokia maintains its competitive edge through careful cultural research. For example, company anthropologists learned that people in rural areas of emerging markets need a phone that can be shared among many users. So Nokia added the capability to save each person’s contacts separately and installed a call tracker that imposes a time or cost limit on each call. Handsets designed for emerging markets also feature menus in local languages, a one-touch flashlight in case of power outages, and a demo program for those who have never used a mobile phone. As you read this chapter, consider how culture influences international business and how company actions affect cultures.1
This chapter is the first of three that describe the links between international business activity and a nation’s business environment. We introduce these topics early because of their strong influence on how commerce is conducted in different countries. In fact, success in international business can often be traced directly to a deep understanding of some aspect of a people’s commercial environment. This chapter explores the influence of culture on international business activity. Chapter 3 presents the roles of political and legal systems, and Chapter 4 examines the impact of economic systems and emerging markets on international business.
An assessment of any nation’s overall business climate is typically the first step in analyzing its potential as a host for international commercial activity. This means addressing some important questions, such as the following: What language(s) do the people speak? What is the climate like? Are the local people open to new ideas a.

Adaptation is a key concept in international marketing
To successfully deal with individuals, firms, or authorities in foreign countries, managers should exhibit:

ability to adjust to varying tempos,
curiosity/interest,
knowledge of the country,
liking for others,
ability to command respect, and
ability to integrate oneself into the environment

Unless marketers remain flexible by accepting differences in basic patterns of thinking, local business tempo, religious practices, political structure, and family loyalty, they are hampered, if not prevented, from reaching satisfactory conclusions to business transactions.

Cultural Imperatives, Electives

business customs and expectations that must be met, conformed, recognized and accommodated if relationships are to be successful
Cultural electives:

Cultural imperatives are “must do” things in another culture, such as meeting and greeting, exchange of business cards in Asian cultures (eg: China, Japan and Korea). Cultural electives are optional activities that a foreigner may or may not want to engage in, such as drinking aperitifs (strong alcoholic drinks) before lunch in the Czech Republic or coffee in Saudi Arabia, no offense is taken if one refuses to participate in these cultural customs.

MNCs and globalization go hand-in-hand. After reading this week's lesson, find an MNC and describe ways it has been a good citizen or a bad citizen. Don't use Nestle since it is described in the lesson.
Instructions: Your initial post should be at least 350 words. Please respond to more than 2 other students.

For more information, please review the forum discussion rubric attached below. This is the rubric that will be used for all of the forums in this class.
In this lesson we will discuss another type of non-state actor in the international system. Multinational corporations (MNCs), broadly defined, are business entities that have facilities—whether production, administrative, or distribution-related—in two or more different countries. The influence of MNCs in the international system demonstrates how foreign relations and economics are intertwined. MNCs are a relatively recent development, and although they do not have the political sovereignty or military strength possessed by states, they still exert considerable influence over the international system. MNCs also have a mixed reputation in terms of the benefits they provide and the harm they can cause, especially in the poor countries where they often locate production.
· Defining multinational corporations (MNCs)
· Types of MNCs and their characteristics
· Why MNCs exist
· How MNCs influence the international system: benefits and disadvantages
Multinational corporations are some of the most powerful non-state actors in the international system. Some researchers distinguish between a multinational corporation (MNC), which has headquarters in multiple countries, and a transnational corporation (TNC), which is headquartered in one country by operates in others as well. Because these terms are often used interchangeably in common usage, for the purposes of this lesson we will just use the term MNC to mean any company operating in multiple countries.
LOCATED IN MULTIPLE COUNTRIES
There is actually no agreed-upon definition of what constitutes a multinational corporation. Generally speaking, an MNC hosts some part of its operations in a country other than the one where it is legally headquartered. In that sense, it is literally multi-national.
CORPORATION
A corporation is a group of people, such as a company, that is legally authorized to act as a single entity. It may be privately owned, or publicly traded—meaning that stockholders are legally the corporation’s owners. Economists and legal scholars continue to debate, however, whether there should be more narrow criteria for categorizing MNCs, and what these criteria should be.
OWNERSHIP
Some argue that ownership is the key feature that defines whether a company is an MNC or not. By this narrow definition, a firm is only a multinational if it is owned by nationals of multiple countries. ...

Dawn of economic process has raised up, where international business is changing into more and more common. Transnational organizations will measure among the foremost profitable within the world. An organization must bear in mind of the speech and civilization of the country wherever it plans to board with its asset. Politics and laws of the condition will moreover produce international trade simple or onerous. With the achievement of international business, its outlook is polished, on a planet scale.

As people engage in more international travel and become more famili.pdf
As people engage in more international travel and become more familiar with other countries,
will cultural difference decline as a roadblock to international understanding or will the continue
to be a major barrier? Defend your answer. Why are multinational enterprises getting involved in
corporate social responsibility and sustainable business practices? Are they displaying a sense of
social responsibility or it is merely a matter of good business, or both?
Solution
Multinational and cross-cultural teams are likewise becoming ever more common, meaning
businesses can benefit from an increasingly diverse knowledge base and new, insightful
approaches to business problems. However, along with the benefits of insight and expertise,
global organizations also face potential stumbling blocks when it comes to culture and
international business.
While there are a number of ways to define culture, put simply it is a set of common and
accepted norms shared by a society. But in an international business context, what is common
and accepted for a professional from one country, could be very different for a colleague from
overseas. Recognizing and understanding how culture affectsinternational business in three core
areas: communication, etiquette, and organizational hierarchy can help you to avoid
misunderstandings with colleagues and clients from abroad and excel in a globalized business
environment.
1. Communication
Effective communication is essential to the success of any business venture, but it is particularly
critical when there is a real risk of your message getting “lost in translation.” In many
international companies, English is the de facto language of business. But more than just the
language you speak, it’s how you convey your message that’s important. For instance, while the
Finns may value directness and brevity, professionals from India can be more indirect and
nuanced in their communication. Moreover, while fluent English might give you a professional
boost globally, understanding the importance of subtle non-verbal communication between
cultures can be equally crucial in international business.
What might be commonplace in your culture — be it a firm handshake, making direct eye
contact, or kiss on the cheek — could be unusual or even offensive to a foreign colleague or
client. Where possible, do your research in advance of professional interactions with individuals
from a different culture. Remember to be perceptive to body language, and when in doubt, ask.
While navigating cross-cultural communication can be a challenge, approaching cultural
differences with sensitivity, openness, and curiosity can help to put everyone at ease.
2. Workplace etiquette
Different approaches to professional communication are just one of the innumerable differences
in workplace norms from around the world. CT Business Travel has put together a useful
infographic for a quick reference of cultural differences in business etiquette globally.

Patient care is complex system that is delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Its success requires perfect harmony between the all the involving members. It is vital that the care we deliver as healthcare professional is patient – centered. Therefore, it is important to know the population that we are serving, its needs and its cultural background. In the United States more than any other country, healthcare providers should develop their cultural awareness and competence.
The stigma around the mental illness and the quality of treatment that mentally ill individuals receive have inspired me to become a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). I have felt the necessity to stand up and do what is right as my contribution to fix this urgent issue. In our society, physical or medical diseases provoke empathy, but we demonstrate disdain for people impacted by mental conditions. Like we always say, “See it and fix it”. So, passivity is as wrong as the wrong doing.
As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I will have the opportunity to care for a multicultural population with different conceptions or point of view about mental health. It is my role and responsibility to understand the cultural differences and provide support to those in need. I have learned that in the healthcare system, we should not be judgmental. My personal philosophy is to treat each and every patient as I would like to be treated. It is a moral obligation to use my knowledge to serve and educate individuals in my community. As a healthcare professional, I believe that I have the capability to change to way mentally ill individuals are viewed and treated. Through my philosophy, I will be able to advocate for holistic and empathic care for individuals with mental health conditions.
Self – Assessment
I have decided to transition from registered nurse (RN) to psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) to better serve my community. So, I have always said and believe that the more someone has the he/she can give. When I decided to go back to school to pursue my goal, I said to myself “I have to choose one of the best schools”. Finally, I have chosen Walden University that I believe meet my expectations. For my Practicum, I have chosen the Compass Health System which has been established in the South Florida since 1990, and it is well respected in the community. They offer their services through their offices and most of the hospital with mental health crisis. They are one the major teaching facilities in mental health in the South Florida.
I have selected preceptors who have been working with Compass Health System for several years. So, they acquired a very solid experience in the field. I have taken great advantage of their experience to strengthen my assessment s.

Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for PHI208.
Course Description
This course explores key philosophical concepts from an ethical perspective. Students will analyze selected assertions of knowledge and the methods of reasoning humans use to justify these claims. Through research into theories of science and religion, as well as the theoretical and empirical challenges these institutions of thought face, students will also investigate how the mind constructs and understands reality. This will provide a foundation for an exploration into questions of morality, in which students will look at traditional and contemporary ethical theories, and apply these theories to contemporary moral issues.
Course Design
In this course, students will be introduced to various ethical theories and practical ethical issues. 1) Students will examine and engage dominant theories of ethics, as well as relativism, and how the relativist position argues against universal ethical principles. Students will utilize what they learn about those ethical theories to examine a contemporary ethical issue and reflect on their own ideas about relativism. 2) Students will examine consequentialist ethical theory and responses to the consequentialist position. 3) Students will examine deontological ethical theory. 4) Students will examine virtue ethics. 5) Students will examine feminist ethics and how feminist ethics relate and attempt to break free from the previous ethical positions. While students are learning about the various ethical theories they will also examine articles that utilize the theories to make arguments in relation to contemporary moral problems. Students will ultimately be asked to choose a contemporary moral problem and apply the ethical theories to the moral problem, while also explaining which theory they find to provide the strongest position.
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Define the nature and scope of morality and ethics.
Differentiate among traditional ethical theories.
Interpret philosophical thought through critical thinking.
Apply the concepts of ethical and moral reasoning to contemporary issues.
Determine one’s own ethical perspectives through personal reflection.
Course Map
The course map illustrates the careful design of the course through which each learning objective is supported by one or more specific learning activities in order to create integrity and pedagogical depth in the learning experience.

The Executive Summary outlines the observations of the organization. The Executive Summary is the first section of the paper however it is the last section to be written.
The reason for writing this section last is that you need to have written the entire document so that you are able to identify the key ideas the reader expects in the paper.
REMEMBER the Executive Summary is for the EXECUTIVE. This means it needs to attract the Executive to either read the rest of the document or, more likely, refer the document to the appropriate staff person to read e.g. marketing, production, legal, etc.
This section can be as long as 1 pages and is clearly longer than a paragraph.

Course Success
Habits Matter
1. Professors are influenced by your behaviors (texting, excessively late/absent, etc.) which could impact your grade.
2. Do your best with every assignment by asking questions and making corrections because details matter!
3. Do work early, procrastination will usually result in poor work quality or failure to submit assignments.
4. Participation helps collective classroom learning and increases the chance of receiving a favorable letter of recommendations.
Communicating Via Email
1. Start off by indicating your course name/section, day and time.
2. Subject: Intro. Criminal Justice 111-02 (Tues. 6pm.) Class Absence
3. Always type in your “main reason” for the email.
4. It should be an “attention getter” such as a newspaper heading.
5. Proof read your e-mail! Download and use Ginger application on phone
6. Always end email with your full name and student ID #
Writing Format
1. Use Times New Roman 12 point Font.
2. Keep margins at 1 inch
3. Click “No Spacing” at the top of your Microsoft Word document
4. “Single space” discussion boards and “double space” reports, midterm and final papers.
5. Subtitles should be bold and flush left/upper and lower case(center for research papers and don’t bold).
6. Indent (TAB .5) at the beginning of every paragraph.
7. Write short, clear and concise sentences (Do not type I think, I belive, I feel, etc. just state your point).
8. A paragraph is a minimum of 5 sentences. You must have additional paragraphs for sections having more than 12 sentences.
Subtitles
Use subtitles in every essay! This ensures that both you and the reader will remain focused on the topic in each section (see your college textbook). When a professor is reading an average of one hundred papers, one right after another, it can become confusing attempting to figure out what your specific paper is about.
Your subtitles should be like newspaper headings, short and grabs the readers attention. You should consider using subtitles for sections having more thanfour paragraphs. The ‘References’ subtitle (which is always last) should be centered. Look at the effectiveness of subtitles from Dr. King’s Autobiography.
Early Years
Born as Michael King Jr. on January 15, 1929, Martin Luther King Jr. was the middle child of Michael King Sr. and Alberta Williams King. The King and Williams families were rooted in rural Georgia. Martin Jr.'s grandfather, A.D. Williams, was a rural minister for years and then moved to Atlanta in 1893. He took over the small, struggling Ebenezer Baptist church with around 13 members and made it into a forceful congregation. He married Jennie Celeste Parks and they had one child that survived, Alberta. Michael King Sr. came from a sharecropper family in a poor farming community. He married Alberta in 1926 after an eight-year courtship. The newlyweds moved to A.D. Williams home in Atlanta.
Michael King Sr. stepped in as pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church upon the death of h.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Unit 9 DiscussionGiven the rapid pace of globalization within .docx
- 1. Unit 9 Discussion Given the rapid pace of globalization within the world of business, organizations are finding themselves working more frequently both in and with foreign nations. Thus, some of the most difficult challenges in international HRM (IHRM) originate from the cultural differences encountered in various countries while conducting business as a multinational organization. The challenge becomes particularly acute when businesspeople lack knowledge of or sensitivity to cultural differences, the result of which may be mistakes made in business or personal interactions that offend or alienate foreign constituents. Hypothetical Scenario Assume that your management team is seeking your help with IHRM in a world of diversity. Specifically, they want a brief report about international business etiquette, customs, or protocol. The report should compare and contrast cultural differences potentially encountered while transacting business between other countries and the United States. For this discussion, complete the following: 1. Select one country outside the United States. 2. Select a topic, and perform research about business etiquette, customs, or protocol for that country. You may use one of the suggested topics below or another pertinent topic of your choice. 3. Briefly discuss the similarities and differences with respect to cultural diversity while conducting business in your chosen country and the United States. Suggested topics to research may include, but are not limited to: · Appearance. · Behavior. · Communication. · Time and space orientation.
- 2. · Formality. · Tolerance. · Saving face. · Protocol for exchanging business cards. · Women in the workplace. · View on and practices about corruption. · Nonverbal communication.
