Mergers and acquisitions has become an important part of the American commerce, which communication plays an important role in reducing the negative impacts. While Schweiger agrees that failure to communicate with employees during a merger will increase employee uncertainty and anxiety, he highlights that previous researchers (Napier et al., 1989) did not measure uncertainty nor any of the supposed dysfunctional outcomes said to follow uncertainty.

There’s various things that describes everyone, but there’s only a few things that make each and every one of us unique, which is, our cultural background. As far as cultural background, it defines the individual’s upbringing. The cultural background includes ones religion, race, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic factors, linguistic and values. These values can be shaped by family, friends, society, or authoritative level. This paper is a great way for one to define my identity or at least understand who I am.

In America, there are many voices that are being heard, but there are voices that are being louder than others. There are many ways that a culture can have themselves be heard and create the change that they are yearning to have. The United States of America has a whole variety of communities, which can impact the world. There are two specific co-cultures, teenagers and LGBTQ, that are stepping up to create the change that is needed in this country, to accept that is it okay to be different. The LGBTQ culture are the most accepting but misunderstood co-culture in America. Explaining specific characteristics of the gay community, like identifying prominent values, symbols and cultural norms, and comparing and contrasting the communicative behaviors of the gay culture with the teenager culture of today’s society will show how it has impacted their communication style, because everyone has the right to be who they are and not be afraid to express it, which is why being a teen or being a part of the LGBTQ culture shows a perspective that

Culturally competent care has fast become a byword in health care with the increasing global migration of populations including healthcare providers topmost of whom are nurses. There abound a number of definitions of culture and competence in current literature provided by multiple disciplines and organizations. Lehman, Fenza and Smith (n.d.) refers to culture as “the learned patterns of behavior and range of beliefs” which includes ways of life, norms and values, social institutions attributed to a specific group and passed on through generations . While competence implies capacity to function and translates into behavior appropriate application of knowledge and attitudes. Giger and companions (as cited in Loftin, Hartin, Branson, & Reyes,

There are cultural differences within all the communities that make up the world, we are constantly surrounded and reminded of these other cultures. In this paper cultural differences will be discussed from the film “Why Did I Get Married?” which is an African-American movie about the hardships one goes through in marriage, friendships, and trust. This paper is going to give specific examples of Hall’s perspective of culture on the screen and Hofstede’s five dimensions that are reflected in a particular pattern. Examples of both verbal and non verbal intercultural communication and how they relate to particular intercultural

Majority of her family comes from D.R while many of them are still there today.

Completing the personal cultural survey I was able to identify the way I approach my life through my eyes. Since completing this survey I have seen my worldview through my lens and the way I approach people, and my way of life. Furthermore, I have identified that my numbers were very similar to one another, and that my average score was (4). Thinking upon this I was pondering why my average score was a (4) for everything. Maybe I grade myself too harshly or become too analytical with this test because I am a very detailed person.

Great post. Reading your post on the multiracial culture made me reflect on the multiracial individuals in family. It does appear that there is an increased acceptance of multiracial individuals. However, when it comes to adoptions of multiracial children or trans adoptions the issues I would imagine run a bit deeper and possibly more complex. The couple or individual adopting a multiracial child or transadoption is truly a beaufil spirted individual. Not only will they deal with the stares, questions, stigma and in some cases, being ostersied by the family, the child will most likely have questions and issues. There are a number of ways parents can help to culturally educated their bi-racial or transadopted child by introducing their culture

The movie Fools Rush In is a great example of how gender as well as cultural differences can hinder communication in a multicultural society. Fools Rush In is about two people, Alex and Isabel, who come from two different cultural backgrounds who after a one night stand become pregnant and decide to get married. However, along with the marriage come compromises that include cultural traditions and personal sacrifices. The movie is a comedy but can also be viewed as romantic and shows how two people who love each other can resolve the issues of cultural and gender differences.

After reading through the chapters there is one thing that really suck out to me and it came from Chapter 1. It was the idea that culture has really changed the way we look at our relationships. If you were to skim over the first few pages you would see how they are different now days compared to 50-60 years ago. It also talked about what might be causing the change in our culture. Even though some of our parents and grandparents don’t like to hear about this “new” style of relationships, this information is true and how generations are now dating.

As we began to evolve into knowing who we are inside, we begin to realize that our self awareness is distorted by our strong sense of belonging to a culture we can identify with. The culture in which we grew up in, share a common belief and assumption and because of those shared beliefs it also can distort our thinking process to listen, hear or to fully understand other cultures that we can't identify

Twins just might be the best specimen around. There’s absolutely nothing complex about them. They’re practically the same. They have the same DNA, blood, genes, looks, likes, dislikes, etc… However, they try and fight it, they think they’re “different” from one another. They try and hide the fact they’re a twin because they feel as if they’re “individuals.” However, I have a solution.

In New Zealand there is a wide range of diversity. New Zealanders have only recently adjusted to the social acceptance of The LGBT community (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transsexual). It is important that we evaluate the implications that the LGBT minority group are faced with. We must use Orbe’s co-cultural theory in order to understand the issues that arise from the dominant heterosexual community.
