Report on Business Culture in Saudi Arabia
Executive summary: With the globalization of world business, Saudi Arabia has
become an appealing market for foreign investors. But there has long been belief that
the market of Saudi Arabia is difficult to develop and the culture there is inconsistent
with the world. The problem of cross cultural management arises as the cooperation
between Saudi Arabia and its world partners continue to increase at an unprecedented
rate. This paper analyses commercial and cultural feature of Saudi Arabia, presenting
an understanding on the general cultural differences between Saudi Arabia and
Singapore by applying different cultural dimensions. And it explains the influence of

Culture is the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members
of one category of people from another. (Hofstede, 1991) There are four cultural
dimensions that were defined in Hofstede s research: Power distance, Uncertainty
avoidance, Individualism, Masculinity, and recently Hofstede add one more: long
term short term orientation. In this part of paper, comparison between Singapore and
Saudi Arabia will be discussed, by focusing Hofstede s cultural dimensions as a point
of reference 2.1 The dimension of individualism collectivism
We know that there is a diverse population in Singapore, consisting mainly of
Chinese, Malay and Indians, all of which does not possess one single dominant
national identity. Drawing on a variety of traditions, different ethnic groups all

In the Saudi Arabia society, most people believe in Islam, and religious control of
Islam and its influence on the country are political, economical and can be seen in
people s daily life. Neglecting of religion may cause troubles in business activities. In
Islam canon, the most important are: religious service, almsgiving, fasting and
pilgrimage and other activities. Religious service is a ceremony that shows gratitude,
3. What Was The Expansion Of Westward Expansion
During the 1800s, the United States institutionalized the concept of expansionism
throughout its states. This long term event is known as the westward expansion, a
time when the United States government deemed it necessary to increase the
agricultural use of land, as well as to create a transcontinental railroad that connected
Eastern states with Western states. This, however exceedingly great, resulted in the
systematic destruction of Native American land, practices, and beliefs. Decimation of
these things was generated through the policies implemented by the United States, as
the policies attempted to assimilate Native Americans. Native Americans were
viewed as an obstacle for the construction, as well as the expansion of the west, thus
the United States devised policies that would ultimately set forth the dismantling of
Native American territories. First and foremost, the Dawes Act, enacted in 1887,
advocated for the separation and disjointing of Native American territories, in favor
of putting the Natives on reservations. In the act, it proclaims that ...where any tribe
or band of Indians have been, or shall hereafter be, located [placed] upon any
reservation created for their use... (Dawes Act). Illustrating that a policy, implemented
by the United States, specifically targeted Native Americans land by fractionalizing
their territories into smaller, more controllable areas known as reservations. Similarly,
the Indian Removal Act of 1830 suggested the literal

who like many others was drafted into the war. Though he is the leader of the
Alpha Company, he doesn t show it, he is not emotionally nor patriotically

for Martha whose letters and photos were a fantasy to him. Whenever he looked at

3.Discuss irony in Saboteur. (20 pts.)
In the story Saboteur by Ha Jin there are multiple ironic events that happen
throughout the story. The name of the story is ironic because the word Saboteur is
used for one who intentionally obstructs something. In the beginning of the story,
Mr. Chiu who is a communist is arrested for confronting a police officer who
purposefully throws a bowl of tea on him and his wife s sandals; it is then that he
becomes a saboteur to the public. ... You re a saboteur, you know that? You re
disrupting public order (Jin 309). While in jail Mr. Chiu realizes that his Hepatitis is
relapsing but when he tries to tell the authorities (who are supposed to help and
protect us) they tell him that they cannot do anything for him so he has to sit until
Monday. No leader is on duty on the weekend. You have to wait till Monday (Jin
312). After Mr. Chiu is released, he visits food stands and ends up contaminating
innocent people with Hepatitis as revenge for what they put him through. Within a
month over eight hundred people contracted acute hepatitis in Muji. Six die of the
disease (Jin 316).

5. The Tragedy Of Euripides Medea
Euripides Medea is considered, according to Aristotle s Poetics, a tragedy. The play
centers on Medea, an outsider and wife to Jason, who seeks to punish Jason for
taking another wife. The play is considered a tragedy because it contains the three
unities as well as the six elements of drama mentioned by Aristotle. Despite the fact
that the does the play fits the criteria of what Aristotle considers tragedy, however,
Medea is actually not a tragedy but tells the story about a successful revenge. In the
Poetics, Aristotle has established a criteria consisting of four requirements that
character must have to be considered the tragic hero. Medea, however, is not a tragic
character because she does not possess two of the four requirements: goodness and
correctness. Aristotle s first requirement of goodness states: The persons wit[ have
character ifin the way previousty stated their speech or their action reveals the
moraI quality of some choice, and good character if a good choice (Aristotle 130).
Having a good character will allow provoke pity and fear in a tragedy. Medea
however does not possess the good quality. She does not express it through the
course of the play in her actions. In the opening of the play, the nurse makes it
known that she wished that the Argo never had set sail (1) which indicates the idea
that the only time Medea was possibly good is before Jason set sail to seek the
golden pelt for Pelias (6 7). Medea fell in love with him and because of it
6. Us Gaap Vs. Ifrs
There are vast and numerous differences between US GAAP and IFRS. The
biggest conceptual difference between US GAAP and IFRS is that US GAAP is
rule based while IFRS is principle based. Because of this, there are numerous
accounting topics that are handled differently between US GAAP and IFRS. It is
argued that IFRS fits the actual economics of business transactions more than US
GAAP, as IFRS looks more at the substance of transactions. US GAAP, on the other
hand, is more concerned with having exact rules to deal with accounting situations.
Both the United States and the over 110 countries that use IFRS are working
towards a global accounting standard; however, due to the cost and complexity of
this process, convergence of US GAAP and IFRS may take years or even decades
longer than expected, if indeed they are ever fully converged. Some key areas in
which the two systems differ are inventoryvaluation, classification of leases, revenue
recognition including the construction industry, the handling of intangibles including
research and development, depreciationmethods, and business combinations. While
there are many other differences in US GAAP and IFRS, this paper is limited in
scope to those listed above.
In the accounting world, there are many different ways to track and value inventory.
Commonly used methods in US GAAP include FIFO, LIFO, Specific ID, and
Weighed Average. This allows companies a great deal of flexibility on how their
inventory appears on the

competitors. Mr. Robb, when it comes to social marketing look no other than
Whole Foods we ve been initiating in giving our target audience what they want.
For our products, we try to make it eco friendly as possible. We try to eliminate
harmful ingredients in our cleaning products. It can leverage their tactics by putting
advertisements on YouTube, TV etc. surely it will cost some money but more people
will look at it rather than displaying ads on newspapers. At Whole Foods, we strive to
tell our audience that our products are Responsibly grown. Key features that we look
for in our partners are:
Soil Health
Air, Energy and Climate
Farmworker welfare
Waste Reduction
Water Conservation Protection
Another way, that Whole Foods displays social marketing is by using cause related
marketing. Cause related marketing is the cooperative efforts of a for profit firm and
a nonprofit organization for mutual benefit. Some of the efforts are:
Whole Planet Foundation
Whole Kids Foundation
Whole Cities Foundation At Whole Foods, we have an interesting program entitled
Local Producer Loan Program. As you know Mr. Robb, Whole Foods loves

11. The Catcher in the Rye vs. Looking For Alaska
Looking For Alaska vs. The Catcher in the Rye Many parallels can be drawn
between the main protagonists in John Green s Looking for Alaska, and J.D.
Salinger s Catcher in the Rye. Although these two coming of age novels differ
greatly in setting and in circumstance, many of the broader, more fundamental
themes in each are actually quite similar. John Green was very much influenced by
J.D. Salinger, and even admitted that Miles Pudge Halter in Looking For Alaska, was
based largely off of Holden Caulfield, the main character in Catcher in the Rye. In
reading the two books, this statement becomes less and less difficult to believe as we
see ignorance, rebellion against authority, death, isolation, and eventually maturity,

In a conversation with her after she passes, he says, You can t just make me
different then leave. (...) Because I was fine before, Alaska. I was fine with just me
and last words and school friends, and you can t just make me different and then
die. (Looking For Alaska, p. 172). It s interesting that Miles seems to personify
Alaska throughout the rest of the book after she s dead, much like Holden does in
The Catcher in the Rye. Although the reader never meets Holden s little brother,
Allie Caulfield, we sure do hear a lot about him throughout the book. He died of
leukemia on July 18, 1946, when he was eleven and Holden was thirteen. He
describes the dark memory to the reader by saying, I was only thirteen, and they
were going to have me psychoanalyzed and all, because I broke all the goddam
windows in the garage. I don t blame them. I really don t. I slept in the garage the
night he died, and I broke all the goddam windows with my fist just for the hell of
it. (The Catcher in the Rye, p. 50). It s clear that Holden and Miles have in common
that they can t just move on when dealing with a death, but they have to heal and
take their time to work it out. Holden and Miles both individually deal with isolation
in their respective circumstances, Miles experiences it post Alaska Young s sudden
death, and Holden goes through it merely being on his own. Some time after Alaska
s funeral, Miles speaks to Takumi for the

rhinoceros look very similar, they are both a blueish grey color with two horns. They
are often called a different name to easily differentiate them. The black rhino is
called the hook lipped rhinocerosand the white rhino is called the square lipped
rhinoceros. They are called this because their lips are specialized to eat different
foods. The black rhino has two horns that can grow up to four and a half feet. They

in Asia is the Indian rhino, which is also known as the greater one horned rhino. It
stands up to eight feet tall and weighs nearly two tons. The rhino lives in tall
weeds, which it often feeds on, and marshy forests. The Javan rhino, now only
found in Java, is a small relative to the Indian rhino. The Java rhino lives in forested
hills and feeds off the grass and fruit. The Sumatran rhino is the smallest rhino. It

The Catholics and the Calvinists were both responsible for tensions because they
brought the religious pressures and battles on themselves after years of animosity.
With the introduction of new religions on the rise during that era this turned into a
power battle among the religions. The Protestant Reformation set the standards for
religious fanaticism. This understanding kept everything quiet in the terrains of the
Holy Roman Empire by conceding every ruler the privilege to decide the religionof

shown interest in the $35,000 worth of products, the original transaction would have
been a debit to revenues and a credit to accounts payable. To adjust this transaction,
since the client has not made a commitment, revenues would decrease the $35,000 as
well as accounts payable being decreased $35,000. For the income statement
adjustment, the revenues would be $35,000 less, resulting in $370,500 in revenues
instead of the $406,000. No adjustment is needed to correct the cost of goods sold.
The ending inventory was determined by a physical count of the inventory. When the
count was done, an adjustment would have been made to the ending inventory
balance, resulting in the $35,000 worth of goods being included in the ending
inventory balance. Even though the total cost of production was used to figure the
cost of goods sold, the $35,000 that needed to be adjusted from the production costs
would be subtracted with the ending inventory. The adjustment adjusted itself in the
computation using the physical inventory count as the ending inventory balance. For
a comparison of the original income statement and the adjusted income statement, the

The novel, The Help by Kathryn Stockett is an exploration of the ways in which
the main theme of racism and symbols of discrimination pervaded every aspect of
human life within the 1960s. The symbol of the toilets symbolizes all the flaws in
society, specifically in relation to segregation in this era, while sparking Skeeter s
motivation to impact the public eye of race. Bathrooms are one of the most
persistent motifs in the novel as well. This starts with Hilly s Home Help Sanitation
Initiative, which requires all white families to have a second bathroom for the use of
their colored maids. Another symbol includes Minny, being famous for her great
skill at cooking, and in particular, for her delicious pies. The recurring motif of pies

Toilets and bathrooms are used to symbolize all that is wrong with the society
depicted in the novel. They are also there to symbolize the dirtiness of the tactics
used to maintain a racist status quo in the Mississippi community in the 1960s.
Despite the fact that Minny is increasingly well known for her pies, she uses her
baking skills to her advantage in order to get revenge upon Hilly. By doing so
Minny receives a feeling of empowerment against Hilly and successfully proves her
wrong against the claim that all African American individuals carry unique diseases.
It has also been suggested that women might be more of a threat towards black people
than men would be a white man will use violence, but a white woman will ruin
your life. This statement becomes true when Hilly uses negative tools in order to
punish Minny after accusing her of thievery. Aibileen often refers to the bitter seed
that began to grow inside of her after the death of her son Treelore. The seed makes
Aibileen less accepting of the white women who treat her like a lesser human being,
and she often feels the seed growing every time a white woman humiliates or
degrades her. The individuals with privilege in this novel must realize that they are
given an unfair amount of power and should use that power not to maintain their
status quo but to help others who have their voices silenced by society. Although each
one of the help undergo the pretentiousness of the white woman of the South, it is
demonstrated that no matter how anyone is treated or how dark a person s life
seems, there is hope. Hope that things will change and hope that you can help make

seen piled up and the people who harvested them are bent over exhausted after
harvesting all the crops. Large bundles of grain are visible in the background. In

collecting the leftovers to feed their families. On close observation it is seen that
they have a white cloth tied around their hips which looks a bit heavy indicating
they have been collecting these leftovers for a while. Yet this amount is very small
compared to the enormous harvest in the background. A man sitting on a horse can
be seen in the background which looks like he is supervising the work done by the
harvesters. He pays no attention to these three women at all. Even though these
women are some kind of beggars they still appear strong and well fed. The colour
used on the women is contrasting to the background. They are bent and hence and

20. The Rise Of Networked Power
The rise of networked power in the 20th Century information society can be
understood to be driven by communicative power. The shift in instructive to
interactive communication , creates new social and political communities and
consequently requires new and dependable regulation. With the convergence of
varying media platforms there has been a consequent erosion of technical boundaries,
allowing power issues to arise such as how to regulate and to what extent.
Governments often regulate to prevent freedom of speech being abused and regulation
occurs through the exercise of power. Regulation occurs in three ways, either by the
state, market or by cultural norms and expectations. This is important as through this
paper although regulation in Australia is currently judiciary and through the state,
there can be seen a consistent link between the state and market that currently
influence regulation.
Luke s acknowledges the need to identify the powerful in order to fix responsibility
. Currently in Australia as a result of the tangled web of network switching power,
responsibility for errors that occur in the media can result in lack of blame and
difficult to pinpoint who is at fault. Luke s expands on this stating moral
responsibility for decisions made and political responsibility for setting agenda are at
conflict when determining power source. That is the government or market.

For example, of hegemony are African Americanand Hispanic is lazy, tall African
American men play basketball and Asians are all smart. The term ideology refers
to a system of ideas, cultural, religious beliefs that sway society over they have and

schools and need to learn to not offend another person based on their cultural group.
Most people assume how a person is based on their appearances and their race.
In today s society, people are closed minded, and do not take the opportunity getting
to know the other person because of stereotyping and racism. Even though we all
have different opinions toward other cultures, norms, beliefs and values we should
all respect each other differences. We should consider learning from one another and
not judge a person based on their race, ethnicity, gender and religion. As a society, it
is very important; we educated ourselves in other cultures, even though we all have
different values and beliefs.
Cultural studies are influenced by the Marxist interpretation of society, but according
to, Stuart Hall believed that mass media has highlighted those people that are already
in positions of power and the media has exploited the poor keeping them powerless.

importantly, is that curse still with us? Did he bring joy, happiness and progress or
did he light the flame of oppression? Today he is considered responsible, at least to
a great degree, of bringing the Western (then Spanish) culture to the American
continent North and South. So, even now, 500 years after his voyage of discovery
across the Atlantic with a crew of sailors yearning for adventure and riches, the
debate is still going on. Did he do good, or should he have stayed home and never
sailed out from Spain? Did Western (and then Spanish) culture serve a higher

What exactly do we mean when we talk about this cultural dominance ? Here are
some dictionary definitions of culture from various sources: The beliefs, customs,
arts, etc., of a particular society, group, place, or time A particular society that has
its own beliefs, ways of life, art, etc. A way of thinking, behaving, or working that
exists in a place or organization (such as a business) the beliefs, customs, arts, etc.,
of a particular society, group, place, or time A particular society that has its own

a place or organization (such as a business) the beliefs, customs, arts, etc., of a
particular society, group, place, or time A particular society that has its own
beliefs, ways of life, art, etc. A way of thinking, behaving, or working that exists in
a place or organization (such as a business) In other words, the definition is very
broad and all inclusive and I believe it makes sense to use that wide ranging
approach to what we mean when we talk about culture. Now, are different cultures
as valuable and useful or is Western (American) culture really superior? If so, should
we not impose it and promote it aggressively? Different Perspectives Let me

my brother who was very cute as a child but when he was put outside the house and

Naomi Calvo and Karen Hawley Miles explain in Turning Crisis into Opportunity ,
an article for Educational Leadership in 2011, take City High, a charter school in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, as an example of how charter schools are not having a
negative impact on students and are, in fact, having a positive impact on student
performance. The student population is about half black and half white, 60 percent
are eligible for free or reduced price lunch, and 11 percent receive special education
services (Calvo and Miles). These statistics suggest that students are receiving
excellent grades and are having no problems going to school with a variety of
cultures, as stated by the student population being about half white and half black.
The dramatic percentage of students receiving incentives for their grades is an
extremely strong piece of evidence in support of charter schools and evidence that
states should strongly consider when making laws for or in opposition to charter
schools. Not only does this evidence support the fact that people think that charter
schools have a positive impact on student performance, there is also evidence that
charter schools are not taking funds away from surrounding

There are many views and ideas of how to define a disciple . Yet how do they stand
up to Jesus example?
Looking up the word disciple in an English or Greek dictionary yields similar
meanings. The English language defines it as, A person who is a pupil or an
adherent to the doctrines of another; follower. (disciple) The Greek simply defines
it as, A learner or pupil. (Strong 45) The most common definition of a disciple is
someone who follows behind or one who is learning from another. While the Bible
does build upon the idea of following and one who learns from another, there is an
additional element to be seen. In Luke 14:25 35 Jesus shares the heart of a
disciple. (Schadt) The first aspect is hating one s family and even their own life.
Without complete devotion to Christ there is not any progress in the Christian
walk. A disciple is one who loves God more than he loves his own flesh. Second, he
must carry his cross and follow Jesus. In the time of the Roman Empire carrying
one s cross visualized one s agreement that the Empire s death sentence was proper
condemnation. In the same way Jesus asks for meek submission in aligning
yourself with His mission and purpose by carrying your cross. (Walvoord, John F.;
Zuck, Roy B.; Dallas Theological Seminary; 243) The last characteristic of a disciple
is giving up everything. Sacrifice of all the heart holds dear. Once again this shows
where the allegiance lays. Is it in the physical securities of possessions or is it in

Although driving to and from places is a normal part of many people s daily
routine, it is often forgotten that driving is a dangerous task that demands all
attention of a driver for the safety of the occupants of a vehicle. For our safety,
cities must provide the best roads and intersections to keep driving a safeguarded
activity. As a resident of Tomball and a driver on the roads, I have noticed that the
feeder roadat the intersection of S.H. 249 and F.M. 2920 located next to Lowe s
and Chase Bank has caused big issues for drivers. Ever since S.H. 249 became a
toll road, many Tomball residents have avoided paying high fees for driving short
distances by taking this service road. This has caused much more traffic, especially,
during rush hour around this area. Many businesses such as Ross, Target, Academy,
and Chick Fil A are located here, and are contributing factors to the congestion. I
myself have had a few close calls at this intersection. However, the issue did not
become apparent to me until my best friend was in an accident at this intersection.
Fortunately, she walked away from the accident unharmed, but her brand new car was
totalled. Losing anyone at this intersection would be devastating for myself and my
community.
S.H. 249 South is the main problem, it often gets backed up past the entire Lowe s
parking lot. This road consists of three lanes: the far left lane being a turn only lane,
the middle lane being a lane that turns left and goes straight, and the far

32. The Theoretical Frameworks Governing The Field Of...
Integral to the theoretical frameworks governing the field of Counseling Psychology
are theories emerging from several schools of thought including Psychoanalytic,
Adlerian, Existential, Person centered, Gestalt, Behavior, Cognitive behavior, Reality
and Family systems. I will discuss and supplement the aforementioned therapy
derived from theoretical foundations in the succeeding sections with the assistance of
a class handout issued by Dr. Didi Firman for the course Counseling Theory and
Practice and with excepts from scholarly assignments and annotations completed.
Within the developmental framework are theories postulated by Freud and Erikson.
Freud s Psychoanalytic therapy basic philosophies purport that human beings are
basically determined by psychic energy and by early experiences. The aim of
Psychoanalytic therapy is to make the unconscious conscious to assist clients in
reconstructing their basic personality. Likewise, Erikson s Psychosocial theory is a
comprehensive lifelong approach (from birth till death) comprised of eight stages
each having a different conflict to overcome. Equally, with Existential therapy, the
main focus is on the nature of the human condition which includes a capacity for self
awareness, freedom of choice, responsibility, anxiety, and the search for meaning.
Contrarily, Adlerian therapy is based on the premise that humans are motivated by
social interest, by striving toward goals, and by dealing with the tasks of life.

Discrimination affects adversely to the organization due to the increased number of
turnover and low productivity. It also harms the reputation of the organization. When
employees are being treated differently on particular bases, then they lose their focus
on the work and there is wastage of time and resources.
Although the practice of discrimination is unlawful by the Civil Rights Act of 1964
and it is forbidden to discriminate on the basis of color, religion, sex and race, still it
is being practiced in the US on the very large scale.Highest numbers of discrimination
in workplaces were recorded in US in recent age, according to the results of US Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (Triana, Maria). This commission explores
about the issues of discrimination and settles the matters by negotiating with parties
and giving compensation to the employees, who are being discriminated. The
compensation is may be in the form of promotions, cash payments or by providing
the better employment opportunities.

expenses to the employer. It may result in the high rate of turnover, low commitment,
productivity and sometimes

Willcox does discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the individual monarchs, but
for the most part these kings and queens are spectators; Willcox s real interest is in
the politicians, and his book works best when he manages to draw concise and
important connections between such men as Marlborough, Chesterfield, Walpole,
and North, and the social forces that they harnessed to get their jobs done. Lord
Chesterfield, for example, is presented as the epitome of the eighteenth century
Gentleman; his letters of advice to his son Philip provide a standard by which
Willcox introduces the world of manners and form that provide the background for
the rest of the book. What Chesterfield saw was there, says Willcox, the love of
form and style and the surface of life (51). Most of these miniature portraits are very
effective: Robert Walpole has an entire chapter devoted to his era, and he provides a
stable center through which to understand the dizzying political problems of dealing
with Hanoverian succession, the creation of British financial empires such as the
Bank of England and the South Sea Company, and the intricate relationships between
peace, foreign diplomacy, and their effect on British business interests. Two different

How to Handle Annoying Behavior and Negativity
How to Talk to Workers about Annoying Behavior
Some conversations can be quite difficult. Like how do you tell your coworker that
his halitosis is ruining your creative vibe? How do you tell someone that their way
of getting stuff done is cramping your style? Fortunately, there are ways to address
annoying behavior without being offensive. At the same time, the following
approaches can help you gain your fellow workers cooperation.
вћўBegin softly. Set your coworker at ease but at the same time, go directly to the
point. Once you ve told your colleague or your employee that you want to discuss
something with him, don t prolong his anxiety and move right to the challenging part.

That said, in order to minimize the occurrence of undesirable behavior, managers
should make it a point to conduct seminars and activities that will orient new
employees about what is expected of them in the workplace.
вћўRemember that each person hails from different cultural backgrounds. This affects
their manner of dressing, their personal hygiene, and even their general behavior.
While you should maintain respect for diversity and individuality, you should also
make it clear to workers that they must learn to embrace the cultural standards of the
organization. There is no reason why cultural differences should affect productivity in
the workplace or cause discord among workers.
вћўLastly, if you are the worker s manager, then you definitely owe it to the person
to initiate the conversation, no matter how challenging it is. You should explain to
the employee in a factual manner how his behavior can affect his career in a
negative way. If you don t talk to him about it, someone else will and they may not
be as sensitive or as tactful as you.
How to Deal with Negative People at Work
There are two types of negative coworkers. These are the occasionally negative
thinkers and the perpetually negative thinkers. Some people have a tendency to
complain because of current work conditions which they deem as unfavorable.
Meanwhile, some people just seem to have pessimism naturally oozing out of their
pores. Their negativism
44. Descriptive Essay About Swimming
GO! My coach s booming voice rings in my ears as I dive off the starting block.
This is my 3rd 100 meter sprint, but it feels like number 50. The water feels
especially heavy. Even though I m breathing way too often, my lungs are gasping for
air. I silently beg myself to kick faster, but then suddenly I am stopped. The rhythm of
swimminghas been interrupted. Another swimmer is in front of me, going slower
than I would like. The splashes from her kicks blind me, and the swirling water
makes it even harder to breath. I tap her feet once, twice, three times in the span of a
few seconds. We are soon approaching the wall. I prepare to stop, thinking that she,
like everyone else, will pause at the wall and let me go by. Instead, she flip turns
and launches herself off the wall into another 50. I sigh, pause at the wall for a few
seconds, launch off the wall yet again, only to be greeted by the familiar obstacle a
few meters later.
This is what goes on almost every day at swim practice. Swimmers have an
unspoken, sometimes spoken, rule that if someone touches your feet, you stop at
the wall and let them go by. This rule keeps us working together like an orchestra,
and our practices efficient like a highway. However, sometimes swimmers refuse
to do this. I have been the perpetrator of this misdemeanor. Everyone on the team
has been. However, some swimmers commit this crime more often than others,
and it gets extremely frustrating. My self control is put to the test because I feel
the need to scream and swim right over her. I can t, however, because we are a
team and must work together. I am a caged lion. The type of set has a lot to do
with my reaction. If we are doing a long set without intervals, I can deal with the
shenanigans. My body is a calm lullaby. If it is a fast, high intensity, interval set,
then I start steaming like a teapot. The reason for that is I am already stressed
because I am trying to make an interval time. When people are in my way and
refuse to move, I feel even more stressed because I get even farther behind the clock.
The other big factor is when the swimmer is aware of the situation. One prime
example of this took place on a crisp autumn day in September, 2017. Although I had

45. The Decision Making Is Defined As A Cognitive Process
Forum 2: Original post Decision Making In life individuals are faced with a
continuous flow of decisions to be made and problems to be solved. Decision
making is defined as a cognitive process in which a choice is developed regarding
a belief or course of action from among two or more alternatives (Robbins Judge,
2009). Individuals compose decisions as a reaction to a problem, a perceived
deviation linking the present condition and a desired condition (Robbins, 2009).
For example, in the radiation oncology field, multiple devices are used to make
treatments more accurate, reproducible, and elevate patient comfort. These devices
are used frequently so they quickly become worn. They must be checked
periodically to ensure structural stability and compliance with infectious control
regulations. Employees are given the task of examining the devices, making
decisions regarding the condition of the devices, and reporting what needs to be
replaced. Managers and employees must keep in mind that incessant replacement of
these devices is costly and can cause interruptions in patient care. Managers and
employees should compose optimal decisions regarding the care and replacement of
such devices in order to be effective, efficient, and productive. Rational Decision
Making Model One process discussed in organizational behavior for decision making
is the Rational Decision Making Model. This model employs six steps for decision
making: 1.Interpret the problem. 2.Determine the decision
46. Patricia Hill Collins Oppression
Many subjects have come across during class analyzing how food justice relates to
race, class, and sustainability. Some of the topics brought up connected with my
core beliefs and made me think about them more in depth. Some arguments taught
me about things that I didn t know about before and has opened my eyes to more
beliefs I didn t know I had. One of the core beliefs I have is all people are equal in a
social, political, and economic way. I don t believe in one group s oppression being
more important than the other, Patricia Hill Collins article goes more into this
concept. Another issue her article touches on that supports my beliefs and has made
me see there is more to it is that our past affects our personal background immensely.

It has also helped me appreciate the privileges I have been given as a white woman
in the working class. Growing up I would always think, What if I was richer, my
life would be so much easier. Being as how I was pretty young I was oblivious to
how other races were struggling more than I with many different things. I didn t
know racism, living below the poverty line, food desserts, etc. were. But even
when I was older and knew about those things I never thought, What if I was a
different race? What if I was even poorer than I am now? If these thoughts had
actually happened, I would be a completely different person than I am now. You
don t always think about if your life was worse, you tend to think about if your life
was better. I know I m guilty of that. Even though I know my background has
affected me I never thought about the huge difference in between my personality
now and my personality if my life wasn t as tough or if it was tougher. Each of us
must come to terms with the multiple ways in which race, class, and gender as
categories of analysis frame our individual biographies (242). This quote embodies
what I ve been explaining or trying to explain in this paragraph. It also helped me
understand that not only do I have to take into account past events that have
happened, I also have to take into account that my race, class, and gender has affected
