I am a person who associate different people from different traditions, ethnicity, races and social classes. I am living in a vibrant multicultural country; therefore, it demands individuals to embrace the cultural differences positively. I associate people from different cultures. Recently, I had been working closely with different Maldivian and Chinese individuals to work on a personality project for my assessment in Business and Protocol. I came across many major differences among us since their thinking and understanding patterns are highly different to mine, this enabled me to learn and experience a different way of thinking and doing things. Further, I came across certain differences that could be easily observed and seen from the way they talk, the way they dress and behave. However, there are other aspects that are invisible such as their values and beliefs that cannot be understood easily. Therefore, to discover these factors, I had to closely associate with these individuals and start making conversations about different topics and areas.
Moreover, in my early days of college I was highly afraid to work with different people, since I believed I might not get along and be uncomfortable. However, overtime I had the urge to discover how people behave and see things from different angles. Since my ambition was to become a social entrepreneur, therefore it geared my likeliness to associate with people from different cultural background and learn and discover new fascinating things.
Reaching out to people from different culture is vital as the world is evolving. It is highly substantial to embrace cultural differences in the modern era to thrive and survive as an individual due to the increasingly growing pace of globalization that has made cultures more noticeable and celebrated. There are many different cultures in the world, and these can be divided further as well. It is a pattern of shared values and assumptions about how things are done that enables individuals to work with different people and become more interactive.

- A bank loan officer who was taking medication for depression had numerous drinks at a local bar, went to a cemetery, and, with a gun in his hand, threatened to commit suicide. He eventually drove off but was intercepted by the police and committed to a psychiatric facility for four days. His physician certified that he would be able to resume all of his duties in a week, but the bank balked at reinstating him. Officials at the bank expressed their shock that he was released from the hospital so quickly after threatening to kill himself. He was told that he could not be immediately reinstated because of “the impact of your action in the community and on the ability to perform your job.” He was placed on a leave of absence and then terminated.

- Please original work Which is better: to buy through one channel or several channels? The obvious answer is to have multiple channels available–order from the Web, make returns at the store, check on delivery by phone - and have all of those contact points able to pick up where they last left off. Is there any advantage to the customer using only one channel? Why does research show that customers who use more than one channel are more likely to be more valuable than those who use only one?

Many laws have been passed that give employees rights that unions cared deeply about, e.g., FMLA, OSH Act, FSLA, etc. Does that mean that unions are no longer needed? However, there is also evidence that an ever-increasing part of the pie is going to an ever smaller group of individuals. And unionized employees tend to make more and have stronger protections than non-union employees. Are unions necessary?arrow_forwardSWOT Analyses are often used in businesses to describe their organization. The SWOT model can also be applied to an individual personally and professionally.
