The concept of belonging deals with not only acceptance but also with dejection and alienation. This concept can influence our belonging to a relationship or place by our background and culture.

Differing Perceptions of Unity and Civility For hundreds of years, Native Americans have been persecuted by outsiders who invaded their lives and territories and subsequently robbed them of their lives. Through various readings from Tecumseh, Benjamin Franklin, and Andrew Jackson one can see how perception greatly affects interactions between Native Americans, interactions between whites, and interactions between Native Americans and whites.

Merleau-Ponty advocates that people get the essence through our bodies. The “body” means “an expressive mode of belonging the world through our perception, gesture, sexuality, and speech.” (Kearney, 1986; pp. 73). In other words, people cannot separate themselves from their perception of the world because it is the essential background of the experience.

The reason people may be obliged to change their accent is to feel like they fit in and not stand out, so that people from all over the world can understand them and not only their social networks. Some accents evoke a positive response and others, negative, and this is the reason why people change their accent.

Although passion and love have a strong influence on Oscar's personality, he is not able to get a girl and this deepens his depression and weight problem. He is the exact opposite of the macho standardized figure. True masculine force goes back, in family stories from the Dominican Republic, with Trujillo's dictatorship shaping manhood perception in the Dominican culture.

Virtual information project teams have become a significant mechanism to utilize when desiring to achieve a particular task or goal globally. A virtual team consists of a group of individuals who are geographically diverse, which causes them to use electronic information or technological tools to coordinate their ideas in order to succeed at a given task.

of language, influence our perception of the world. I will discuss how languages divide up nature differently, and the cognitive repercussions of doing so, before identifying contrasting methods of thinking about space and location, and then will finish by looking at how grammatical differences have the power to predispose a particular vision of reality. Categorisation varies across different language groups One noticeable difference between some languages is the different ways in which they categorise
