I interview someone named Xavier Smith over the phone, he works with my Uncle at a. I ask Xavier 20 questions about his culture and heritage background. The first question I ask was “what is your full name and does it have a special meaning to it?” He told me that his full name is Xavier Smith and that his name is spelt differently in Haiti language, it is spelt Xaviur instead of the American way Xavier. I ask him why does he not use the spelling of the name from Haiti and he said that it is because people usually do not pronounce his name correctly the way how he say it people so, he just decide to go with the how his name is spelt in America.

Canada is known to be a country of diversity, inclusion, and acceptance. It is a country that consists of many individuals with various cultures and ethnic backgrounds.

Communicating with people or groups of people that group up with different norms, values and beliefs can cause miscommunication.

People can come from diverse backgrounds and have cultural differences, this is what makes everyone unique. A person's education, experience, and social circumstances are all example of their backgrounds.

It is important to understand that when you are dealing with different people you take their backgrounds in to consideration when communicating. What may seem normal to you may be very conflicting for someone from a different culture, being patient and ask questions for clarification. If everyone in the group feels respected, the diverse cultural background can strengthen your team because you will have a view of different perspectives that you would not

Although employers generally feel justified in denying immigrants employment based on the needs of their businesses, immigrants have regularly filed discriminating lawsuits against these companies since the 1980’s under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which protects immigrants from being discriminated against based on their national origin (Texas Law Review, 20xx, p. 1496). Title VII has been used to litigate against employers who institute English-only rules as non-native English immigrants equate this to national origin discrimination (Texas Law review, 20XX, p. 1496). It seems that under the civil rights act of 1964, these individuals would have a legitimate claim of discrimination but despite the strong links, courts rarely rule in favor of the plaintiffs in these cases. The courts find that there is not significant harm caused to the plaintiff or sufficient business reasons were laid forth by the employer as reasons to justify its decision (Texas Law Review, 20xx, p. 1496)

One of the four strategies proposed by Brett et al. (2006) for solving conflicts in multicultural teams is adaptation. The other three - exit, structural and managerial intervention are inapplicable in our case. Adaptation is the most convenient approach that our team has unconsciously been conducting and will continue developing in the future in order to achieve the common goal of the team. We decided that for us it would be to aim for high performance. We came up with our own definition of that goal and it is being able to complete a task on time while successfully implementing our skills and learning as much as possible in the process. We already had a turbulent situation in the team because of insensitive comments which made an impact on some of the team members. We attributed them to cultural differences rather than personal ones and that is the approach we want to keep in the future. A possible way on how to achieve high performance in our team could be described by the following statement from the article On Life and

During my undergraduate experience I noticed that there was a lack of African American males on campus, and little resources for this group. This was problematic because the experiences and cultural richness that these individuals were not bringing to the campus. This results in young African American men not having strong voices to advocate for their needs on campus, and they were less likely to interact with individuals of their own race at UNC. I understood this problem as an African American male and I was determined to change it. Being a change agent, I helped
