Assignment 3: Views on Diversity
Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years.
To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an
Informed Consent
document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection, you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment.
Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers:
When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term?
Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you?
Do you think the majority of people in our culture:
Respect cultural differences among groups of people.
Show indifference to cultural differences.
Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice.
If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be?
Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues:
What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture?
Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case.
Compare and contrast the respondent's views with your own. How would you answer the same questions?
Submit your response to the

INCA Survey InformationINCA is an acronym for intercultural comp.docxbradburgess22840
INCA Survey Information
INCA is an acronym for intercultural competency assessment. The purpose of the INCA survey is to examine your intercultural awareness.
Intercultural competence – what does it mean?
Intercultural competence enables you to interact both effectively and in a way that is acceptable to others when you are working in a group whose members have different cultural backgrounds. The group may consist of two or more people including yourself. ‘Cultural’ may denote all manner of features, including the values and beliefs you have grown up with, your national, regional and local customs and, in particular, attitudes and practices that affect the way you work.
Three strands of cultural competences include:
• Openness
• Knowledge
• Adaptability
Openness includes respect for otherness and tolerance of ambiguity. > To be open means to be open to the other and to situations in which something is done differently. You can tolerate your partner as being different and doing things differently.
Knowledge includes knowledge discovery as well as empathy. > You not only want to know the ‘hard facts’ about a situation or about a certain culture, but you also want to know, or you know something about, the feelings of the other person. You also know how your interlocutor feels.
Adaptability includes behavioral flexibility and communicative awareness. > You are able to adapt your behavior AND your style of communication
The INCA survey addresses:
· Communicative awareness

Section 1 Understanding Individual Perspectives of Diversity
Each of the first six sections of this text is organized to facilitate the process of learning about workplace diversity. Sections begin with learning goals and an introduction to the material that follows. Next, we provide an exercise on experiences that will help you to actively participate in the learning process by considering some new perspectives on diversity that are intended to challenge your knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about differences. Because diversity is an interdisciplinary topic, the essays and cases that follow were written by experts from business, psychology, anthropology, economics, and sociology. These articles are followed by additional opportunities for active learning: discussion questions, Diversity on the Web, and Writing Assignments. To provide linkages, each of these six sections ends with a unifying case and a set of integrative questions that cut across the articles in that section. The seventh section is intended to connect all of the course material together by providing three options for a capstone learning experience.
Learning Goals for Section I
· To learn the differences between prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination
· To understand the notion of privilege and how it affects one’s life experiences
· To motivate the student to examine his or her own perspectives on difference
· To explore the relationship between differences and conflict
· To explore organizational diversity
Often, we begin a diversity course by asking the question: “Who in this room is prejudiced? Raise your hand.” As expected, only a couple of students are willing to join the instructor and admit that they have some prejudices! At the end of the semester, we ask the same question and almost every hand in the room is raised. Why does this always happen? We have been socialized by family, society, and the media to think that prejudice is always negative, so it is easier to deny it. Then, why do most students raise their hands at the end of the semester? Because they now realize that everyone treats some people differently than others. It is very natural to prefer people like ourselves. Think about your friends. While they may be of mixed races and genders, are they all close to your age? Are there any people with a handicap in the group, and so on?
Basic to understandingthis text Section I is clarification of some terminology that is often used interchangeably in everyday conversation. Prejudice is a preconceived evaluative attitude based on a person’s social group membership. Prejudices can come from many sources such as our socialization, our peers, our life experiences, and especially the media and it can be positive, negative, and neutral. For example, you find out that you will be getting a new boss next week and she is a middle-aged female. If you find yourself thinking that she is going to be hard to work for, rigid, even bitchy, and so on, before you even get to kn.

The following questions should serve as a guide for your entry:
· What is one group (racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, gender, religious, social class, etc.) with which you feel you can identify in terms of belonging to this group?
· Would you consider this group a majority or minority group? Why?
· How important is this group identity to you? If it is very important, what do you think makes it important? If it is not, why do you think it is not important to you?
· In what way or ways might this group identity help to shape your view of the world?
· How is your ability to be objective about minority-majority issues influenced, either positively or negatively by this group identity?
Comments:
Carl, you’ve done a very good job on your first journal entry and your application of the concepts of “machismo” and objectivity. See my comment on the definition of minority. Are Hispanics considered a minority only due to their numbers? Other relevant concepts that might apply to what you’ve written here might be symbolic interaction and cultural differentiation.
You needed to apply two theories this week. You might have used social identity theory to explain your feeling of comfort around those like you in terms of the ethnicity and social status. You might also have used Interactionist theory to explain the process of cultural transmission of Hispanic norms and values, especially those that apply to Hispanic males as well as to explain why skin color may be significant in the U.S. while it is not as significant in Latin American countries. Interactionists would also suggest that taking one’s time may be interpreted as being lazy in the US and this might result in conflict. Our culture shapes our perceptions and in turn, this influences how we react to those who are not like us in certain respects. Your APA format is very good overall. If the information cited is quoted material, then you also need to include the page number on which the quoted material is located.
As noted in the instructions, these journals are “practice” for the paper. They are meant to help you in applying concepts and theory, so be sure to follow my comments and the feedback I give you each week. Review the rubric below to see where you need to concentrate on improving your entries. If you do not understand something, please contact me. Thanks! Instructor C :-)
The ethnic group with which I feel I can identify in terms of belonging to this group is Hispanic. I would consider this group to be a minority group and so does society. Although Hispanics have grown significantly in numbers throughout the United States their numbers as far as population goes are still low in comparison to others in the United States[k1] . Hispanics have grown to be the largest minority group in the United States (Parrillo, 2011). Being Hispanic to me is very important. It signifies who I am and what I am about. One thing that makes this identi.

A BUSINESS MODEL
• The business model is a holistic management
approach that reflects the fundamental value
creation logic, value creation architecture and the
functioning of a company (Timmers 1998).
• A representation of a firm’s underlying core logic and
strategic choices for creating and capturing value
within a value network (Shafer, S.M., Smith, H.J.
and Linder, J.C., 2005 p.202).
A BUSINESS MODEL…contd

by different service offerings across Content,
Commerce, Context and Connection.
• The classification is considered as 4C-Net-
Business-Model typology (Wirtz 2000, p. 218).
Content, Commerce, Context and
Connection
• Content-orientated business models are used by firms -
such as The Wall Street Journal Online - that focus on
the collection, selection, compilation, distribution, and/or
presentation of online content.
• Their value proposition is to provide convenient, user-
friendly online access to various types of relevant
content.
Content, Commerce, Context and
Connection
• Commerce-orientated business models focus primarily
on the initiation, negotiation, payment and delivery
aspects of trade transactions using online media.
• Commerce-oriented firms, such as Amazon and Dell,
offer cost-efficient transactions for buyers and sellers of
goods and services.
• Companies focusing on this type of business model use
electronic Internet-based processes to substitute or
support traditional transaction functions and arenas,
creating direct revenue streams in the form of sales
revenues, as well as indirect revenue streams such as
commissions.

Assignment 3: Views on Diversity
Pablo believes that diversity is the most important issue in our culture, and that it is greatly underemphasized. On the other hand, Ralph rarely thinks of diversity, except when it is mentioned in the workplace. Monica is sensitized to multicultural issues because her parents are immigrants who still struggle with discrimination after being here for 20 years.
To obtain a cross-section of what people think about diversity, conduct five-minute interviews with three individuals you don't know well, and assess their views on diversity. You have been provided an
Informed Consent
document for the respondents to sign along with verbally consenting to participate in this assignment. This is to enable that the respondents demonstrate a clear understanding of the meaning and purpose of this assignment. While you are expected to use the informed consent form in keeping with ethical practices for data collection, you do not need to submit it to the instructor as part of the assignment.
Ask the respondents the following questions and record their answers:
When you hear the word diversity mentioned in the workplace, in the media, or in casual conversation, what meaning do you assign this term?
Does a particular race, ethnic group, or other minority group come to mind when you think of diversity? Does one of these groups pertain to you?
Do you think the majority of people in our culture:
Respect cultural differences among groups of people.
Show indifference to cultural differences.
Lack respect for cultural differences. Explain each choice.
If you were to make a suggestion about how our culture should handle diversity over the next decade, what would it be?
Compile your responses and write a brief reflection paper (two pages) on your findings. Specifically address the following issues:
What did you discover was the general attitude toward diversity in our culture?
Is diversity more associated with one race, ethnic, or other minority group than with others? If so, explain why this might be the case.
Compare and contrast the respondent's views with your own. How would you answer the same questions?

INCA Survey InformationINCA is an acronym for intercultural comp.docxbradburgess22840
INCA Survey Information
INCA is an acronym for intercultural competency assessment. The purpose of the INCA survey is to examine your intercultural awareness.
Intercultural competence – what does it mean?
Intercultural competence enables you to interact both effectively and in a way that is acceptable to others when you are working in a group whose members have different cultural backgrounds. The group may consist of two or more people including yourself. ‘Cultural’ may denote all manner of features, including the values and beliefs you have grown up with, your national, regional and local customs and, in particular, attitudes and practices that affect the way you work.
Three strands of cultural competences include:
• Openness
• Knowledge
• Adaptability
Openness includes respect for otherness and tolerance of ambiguity. > To be open means to be open to the other and to situations in which something is done differently. You can tolerate your partner as being different and doing things differently.
Knowledge includes knowledge discovery as well as empathy. > You not only want to know the ‘hard facts’ about a situation or about a certain culture, but you also want to know, or you know something about, the feelings of the other person. You also know how your interlocutor feels.
Adaptability includes behavioral flexibility and communicative awareness. > You are able to adapt your behavior AND your style of communication
The INCA survey addresses:
· Communicative awareness
· Respect for others
· Empathy
After completing the survey, use the following to determine your cultural awareness level:
Respect for Others: basic level
Addresses only one culture. Describes the behaviour of one person as negative (e.g. Mr Parker is focused on pursuing his own interests) Criticises one culture (e.g. ‘The Chinese can’t do business’) Sees one attitude towards work as the only correct attitude (e.g. Mr Parker’s attitude ‘business is business’ is correct) Uses negative attributes to describe a person (e.g. ‘Mr Wang is not a good businessman’) Mr Parker should have addressed the importance of the business deal more clearly He should have made threats to leave the country without the deal

• Commerce-orientated business models focus primarily
on the initiation, negotiation, payment and delivery
aspects of trade transactions using online media.
• Commerce-oriented firms, such as Amazon and Dell,
offer cost-efficient transactions for buyers and sellers of
goods and services.
• Companies focusing on this type of business model use
electronic Internet-based processes to substitute or

Social Media and the Boston Marathon Bombings: A Case Study
By:
George Haddow and Kim Haddow
, Posted on: June 4, 2015
As we reach the final stretch of the capital trial of the Boston Marathon bomber, we present this case study on social media that was originally published in the author’s book
Disaster Communications in a Changing Media World
:
Case Study: BPD and Social Media
At 2:49 PM on April 15, 2013 two bombs exploded near the finish line of the annual Boston Marathon killing three people and injuring 264. The first reports about the about the terrorist attack were spread through Twitter and Facebook.
At 2:59 PM the
Boston Globe
tweeted:
“BREAKING NEWS: Two powerful explosions detonated in quick succession right next to the Boston Marathon finish line this afternoon.”
Minutes later, the Boston Police Department confirmed the explosion in a tweet. And in a separate tweet soon after reported:
“22 injured. 2 dead

”
According to Topsy, a Twitter analytics company, at around 4:10 p.m. there were more than 300,000 mentions on Twitter of “Boston explosions.” (Stern, 2013) In a second wave of social media, details about the event spread. Media that included photos of blood covering the ground and a six-second Vine video of the actual explosion was circulated, deepening people’s sense of what had happened. Around 4:30 p.m., there were more than 700,000 mentions on Twitter of the “Boston Marathon.” (Stern, 2013)
Even though television was the most widely-used source of information about the bombing and its aftermath, it was social media that shaped the story and the response. While 80% of Americans followed the story on TV according to the Pew Research Center, about half (49%) say they kept up with news and information online or on a mobile device and a quarter of Americans got information about the explosions and the hunt for the bombers on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Young Americans in particular kept up-to-date through social media. Slightly more than half (56%) of an 18-to-29 year subgroup polled by Pew got bombing-related news through social networking sites. (Pew Research Center, 2013).
The Boston bombings and the manhunt that followed became the backdrop for the world to witness the transformation – for good and for bad — in news gathering and distribution, and in disaster management and crises communications caused by social media platforms and technology. The Boston Marathon bombings were a watershed, a moment that marked forever the changed role of social media and the fully participatory public in breaking news events and coverage. The
New York Times
wrote:
It is America’s first fully interactive national tragedy of the social media age.” (Kakutani, 2013)

Social media and adolescence, is it good? bad? When looking at the current adolescent generation, social media has become an important influencer. How many likes to I have? How many friends do I have? Am I pretty? etc. are common questions that are asked internally. In this chapter, we were introduced to new thinking patterns and concepts related to this developmental stage, such as personal fable, invincibility fable, egocentrism, etc.
For this assignment, address the following,
How does the influence of social media impact concepts like personal fable, invincibility fable, egocentrism, etc.?
What are the benefits to social media? (think about technology as a whole as well)
How can social media and/or technology hinder development during this stage?

Social marketing applies commercial marketing strategies to promot.docxpbilly1
Social marketing applies commercial marketing strategies to promote public health.
Social marketing is widely used to influence health behavior. Social marketers use a wide range of health communication strategies based on mass media, they also use mediated (example, through a healthcare provider), interpersonal, and other modes of communication, and marketing methods such as message placement (for example, in clinics), promotion, dissemination, and community level outreach. Social marketing encompasses all of these strategies.

Application of social marketing strategies for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination. in young children’s. People in many developing countries have misgivings, fear and other reasons against MMR vaccination resulting in resurgence or disease epidemics. Social marketing theory work well in countering these obstacles while encouraging administration of the vaccine to improve the health of the society.
Concepts-
1. Consumer orientation- In this approach planning, implementation and evaluation strategies of consumer marketing is employed to motivate the parents for vaccination of their children’s against MMR. We took advice from people to what change we make to adopt this healthy behavior. Needs assessment this message is appropriate from them what barrier environment we have to take. Also take care how people respond to the healthy behavior. Citizen advisory panels help to get feedback.
2. Audience segmentation- . Parents of the children are selected that largely influences the success of MMR vaccination in the children. Positive behavior change to vaccinate their children is encouraged by educating them and creating awareness about the complications associated with MMR viral epidemics. We target the group which have similar variable and advise them.
3. Channel analysis- Method to deliver the required message and the desired place to target the population/desired audience (parents). Usage of print ,news and online social media to convey the benefits and the risks associated with vaccinating and not vaccinating with MMR Other places that can be targeted are gynecologic and pediatrics hospitals while utilizing other public places with posters to spread the awareness and the benefits of MMR. We also have to find appropriate time when to advertise and advice these desired population.
4. Strategy- In this stage of planning the idea is to meet the objectives. We can use different strategies like making the vaccine available in every hospital facility for easy access, making vaccine cost effective to eliminate the barriers of our target population.
5. Process tracking- In this evaluation phase of the program we check and monitor if the applied interventions are rightly executed to achieve the objectives. After undertaking surveys, reviewing and revisiting the steps, progress can be tracked. We can also obtain feedback from the target population to improve and enhance the performance of the pr.

Instructions for the Critical Essay
Utilizing seven to ten outside scholarly sources students are to write critical essays (5-7 pages not
including title and reference pages) documenting an essential issue with regard to the course’s influence
on a policy. Students may also include official and organizational research reports as part of their
allotted references too1. These essays are positional in nature (you’re arguing a stance using scholarly
evidence), and will be written in an academic and scholarly tone. Arguments must be cogent, logical,
and supported by facts (which will come from one’s research). APA citation and reference lists are
required. These essays will be well proof-read before submission. Font: Times New Roman, 12. The
essay should be double-spaced and numbered. Below are instructions regarding the format:
1. The assignment requires a traditional APA title page. Students may assign the essay its own
title, be creative. Again, the title page and references are not counted in the page requirement.
2. The structure of the paper should be sectioned like such:
a. Introduction
b. The Policy (here you will provide an explanation/background of your chosen policy)
c. Corresponding Issue #1
d. Corresponding Issue #2
e. Suggested Policy Change
f. Conclusion
g. References
3. The Introduction should provide a thorough roadmap of where you intend to take the reader;
thus, here you want to establish a clear but brief outline of your policy of choice and the issues
you plan to uncover—leave the rest for folks to see in the essay. This should be no more than a
good thick paragraph.
4. The proceeding pages should be well structured by sections/headings which will correspond to
remaining four points mentioned after the introduction. For example, for a policy one may
choose sentencing, and then his/her two issues may be mass incarceration and reentry (you’d
use those titles as the headings for your sections in the essay, or you can be more creative and
call them something else, but the sections need to be distinct from each other). The
information contained in each respective section will include a meshing together of your
scholarly sources and your understanding of your chosen policy. This part of the essay will
become more refined as one continue to engage in research. Remember, all points/arguments
explained in these pages must be cited and backed by evidence. Your writing should be both
informative and persuasive, which means you should be explaining to your reader the gist of the

problem/issue which will be covered in the essay. It is important that the essay has some stats in it to substantiate
all arguments. For instance, for crime stats see .

SOCIAL JUSTICE AND SOCIOLOGY:
AGENDAS FOR THE
TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
JOE R, FEAGIN
University of Florida
The world's peoples face daunting challenges in the
twenty-first century. While apologists herald the globaliza-
tion of capitalism, many people on our planet experience
recurring economic exploitation, immiseration, and envi-
ronmental crises linked to capitalism's spread. Across the
globe social movements continue to raise the issues of
social justice and democracy. Given the new century's
serious challenges, sociologists need to rediscover their
roots in a sociology committed to social justice, to cultivate and extend the long-
standing "countersystem" approach to research, to encourage greater self-reflection
in sociological analysis, and to re-emphasize the importance ofthe teaching of soci-
ology. Finally, more sociologists should examine the big social questions of this
century, including the issues of economic exploitation, social oppression, and the
looming environmental crises. And, clearly, more sociologists should engage in the
study of alternative social futures, including those of more just and egalitarian soci-
eties. Sociologists need to think deeply and imaginatively about sustainable social
futures and to aid in building better human societies.
WE STAND today at the beginning ofa challenging new century. Like
ASA Presidents before me, I am conscious
of the honor and the responsibility that this
address carries with it, and I feel a special
obligation to speak about the role of sociol-
ogy and sociologists in the twenty-first cen-
tury. As we look forward, let me quote W. E.
B. Du Bois, a pathbreaking U.S. sociologist.
In his last autobiographical statement, Du
Bois (1968) wrote:

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
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.

Part 1: Personal Reflection
The first part of the paper requires you to identify information
from your own personal history. Use the following questions to
help guide your reflections:
1. Identify your personal biases and how those biases may

discrimination.
2. What does it mean to be a subtle racist? Please include a
referenced definition and example.
3. Why could there be significant differences in perceptions and
values of members within the same ethnic group? Be specific.
Part 3: Multicultural Competence
The third part of your paper requires you to review and reflect
on multicultural competence as a professional. Use the
following to help guide your reflection:
1. What did you learn about the importance of cultural
sensitivity in providing professional services to clients?
4. Social Cultural Diversities
Name:
Institution affiliation:
Divergence in the way of life between people who live together
is referred to as cultural diversity. This is a concept where
multiculturalism appears. Gender, religion, race and social
economic status are some of the categories where biases are
highly indicated. Diverse groups which have come together like
in colleges, , and settlement areas, there is a high possibility of
biases between the different categories of people.
One of the biases I have had was a cognitive bias. The origin of
the human race, where we came from and who created us was
among my biases. I had a conclusion that we humans came from
elsewhere in space and landed on earth where we inhabited
(Abrams, 2009). This became my conclusion until I came to
learn of all the theories of human origin.
Being discriminated is one of the fears amongst many people
mostly around my area. I once experienced discrimination when
my fellow classmates used to make inappropriate jokes to me
and my family due to poverty (Noon, 2018). Negative
nicknames which made me feel rejected in the society. Being
harassed by big students in my class was also among the
discriminations I have ever experienced in my past.
Being the only student from upcountry made my life very
difficult in my high school life. During bet times, I was forced
to take my rest as the last person due to bad behaviors of my
roommates. Co-curricular activities were not on my favor as all
the teammates did not want to interact with me. During meal
times, (Abrams, 2009) I had to take my meal alone for no one
ever wanted to get associated with me at any point. Being from
upcountry made me be discriminated as my ethnic group was
not well recognized in my country.
For all the experiences I have undergone through, I cannot let
anyone to have such experiences that I went through.
5. Discriminating a person because of the cultures or race is one of
the act I cannot try at any point. Treating people with the
respect they require and loving them will always be noticeable
in my entire life.
Racism may happen in many places as it takes many forms.
Discrimination, hatred or prejudice are kinds of racism that a
person may experience because of color, ethnicity, religion,
gender, physical and psychological disabilities, and origin
among others. Harassment or acts of abuse are usually
associated with racism but it does not involve violent behaviors
(Noon, 2018). It can be revealed through the actions and
attitudes of people but sometimes it cannot be indicated at all. It
is not all about words, beliefs or actions but it also includes
being excluded from certain public or common groups,
activities because of where one comes from. Barriers that hinder
people from enjoying equality and dignity due to race is also
racism.
A person who has a negative attitude toward a certain specific
group of people is referred to a subtle racist. This person's
actions are very indirect and are really expressed through hints
only. In the past years, black Americans have experienced
racism in the country because of their dark color. In workplaces
and even schools, cases have been reported of discrimination
and even harassmentto the blacks. White’s rejected black’s in
their churches hence they were forced to form their own
religions. In the few past, in politics, leaders have always
indicated racism in their politics.
There have been indicated racism not only outside different
ethnic groups but also in the same ethnic groups. People with
special needs have Benn discriminated in workplaces and also
in the local activities. Gender inequalities like men have
specific tasks they can do that woman cannot do making women
to be a minority group. Employers may discriminate certain
people while allocating duties, benefits, training, and other
activities. Harassment in the offices where an employer may use
his powers to harass the employees (Noon, 2018). Allocation of
6. duties as employees may be allocated minor duties which do not
match with his or her line of employment. Some information
requested during job application is somehow discriminative
although, for some reasons, they are always for affirmative
purposes.
Cultural sensitivity is a vital requirement for a company or
organization that is conducting business to different ethnic
groups. If these cultures are ignored, the business may offend
special and important clients (Smedley, 2005). A company that
hires employees from the ethnic groups where they are
conducting business indicate a great success in the region(s).
Norms are to be followed in many ethnic groups hence if a
company knows about them, it will successfully prosper. Using
foreign language to conduct advertisements may have cultural
relations problems for companies. Appreciation of foreign
cultures, if not taken into consideration, can alienate the
business from prospering as the local people will not have
enough knowledge of the company’s supplies and services
(Brah,1999).
Verbal and non-verbal are two types of communication used
across cultures. Almost all cultures use verbal communication
but others like in Thailand, they rely much on non-verbal
communication. It's always wise to understand a culture's
customs and expectations related to direct and indirect forms of
communication. For better and beneficial relationships, it’s
crucial to orientate time allocated well. There are those cultures
that do not beat around the bush and they emphasize a lot on the
naked truth due to people’s feelings (Smedley, 2005). This kind
of communication uses criticism and a confronting language
while indirect communication values the idea of maintaining
harmony and saving face. Personal space is highly expected to
be observed across all cultures regardless if it is a social or a
business setting.
Every culture has its own set of rules which are followed during
communication. This may be challenging while one wants to
communicate across cultures. Measures to build a better rapport
7. is challenging across cultures. For you to be successful, you
need to learn and understand general measures to follow to
create a better rapport. Choice of communication media, high
context and low context, tone, sequential and synchronic,
effectual and neutral are some of the procedures one needs to
consider before starting a conversation. You need to understand
and not make assumptions hence proper preparation is required
(Hall, 1990). Resources like culture guides can be used to equip
one with basics of certain ethnic groups or cultures. Cross-
cultural management guides, country reports, and cultural
quizzes are also good resources one can use to learn and
understand better about certain cultures.
Cultural bias is when a certain culture makes assumptions about
another culture basing their arguments on their cultural
practices (Brah, 1991). Traditional psychology is characterized
by research and theoretical biases as they normally reflect
mostly the culture of the United States and Europe. Researchers
also tend to come from these backgrounds, yet their researches
are referred to as a global description of human behavior.
Maracek and Hare-Hustin suggested that before deciding if
there exist cultural differences, one must consider the extent to
which the theory or study is biased and that is the only moment
the research has been proved to be valid (Hall, 1990).
In the future, one is required to learn and understand the
cultural diversity in which he or she wants to go and pay a visit.
Addressing techniques should be well understood so as to be
successful mostly in the business sector. Taking a good research
of an ethnic group will probably help to achieve success during
the visit and avoid embarrassment.
