SUBMISSION 1

In an article, Culture and Point of View, it goes on to discuss how “East Asians and Westerners perceive the world and think about it in very different ways”. (By Richard E. Nisbett, 7/21/2030)  It goes on to discuss “Cognitive Differences” and shows how East Asians and Westerners differ in ways like causal attribution and prediction. (By Richard E. Nisbett, 7/21/20300)  “We might expect that Westerners, like ancient Greek scientists, would be inclined to explain events by reference to properties of object and that East Asians would be inclined to explain the same events with reference to interactions between the object and the field. 

“Logic vs. Dialectics” deals with comparing certain property, as with Americans that look at it defiantly than other cultures.  (By Richard E. Nisbett, 7/21/2003  “Categorization” “East Asians have been found to classify objects and events on the basis of relationships and family resemblance, whereas Americans classify on the basis of rule-based category membership” (By Richard E. Nisbett 7/21/2003)

In chapter 3, p.47, it discusses how appreciating cultural diversity affects people’s ability to communicate effectively.  This discussion is based on difference between cultures, as with woman in the United States, and how they can have the same rights as men, but in some international countries they do not.  Religion is also different in cultures, as with the United States which believes in Christianity, while China and Japan believe in Confucian and Buddhist beliefs. (Chapter 3, p.47)

“Over the centuries, the two civilizations have often come into conflict.” (Chapter 3, p.47)  In the 1600s Japan ban Christianity from their country and reduced trade with Europeans, China also reduced trade.  Western and Eastern cultures started influencing each other to the point where “China and Vietnam have followed the lead of Japan and Korea in adopting Western industrial development and even Western capitalism, to a degree.”  (Chapter 3, p.48)  In a paper written by, Cheryl A. Hyde, PhD, discusses that “given current political economic and demographic developments in client populations, as well as the increased heterogeneity of the service workforce, nonprofit human service agency administrators are and will be compelled to foster organizational environments that support diversity”. (Cheryl A. Hyde, 2003)

SUBMISSION 2

Cultural change can be a good thing or a bad thing because not everything that goes on in life is meant to stay the same. For example, the rate of unemployment and depression is one o the main problems that society is facing today.However, the community staff places that help with getting a job and agencies that also help with employment is a positive step in getting people back in the work force. The closer connectedness of world societies as a result of economic interdependence an global communications has increased the frequency and depth of cultural change.(EB, P.53, 2014)

 

Cultural change is usually or ultimately something that a person is use to or have adapt to tat lifestyle. For instance, a person that is use to being in a ghetto environment is probably use to the loud, unsafe, no manners and knows only what is brought around them growing up. A person that has grown around respected, polite, well-mannered people is use to the quiet environment and knows how to speak and act because they was raised that particular way; there is no such thing one culture is greater than the next because everybody is not the same but yet different in their own way.

 

A business will have their pros and cons, when it comes to cultural diversity and multinational corporations, because it expand their organization in various countries. The organization have to keep track of cost controls, taxation, consumer benefits to countries.(Lister, 2015) The overall key of keeping your business successful globally is to keep each organization managed then, everything will fall in place. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
