In early April of 1958 American Cultural anthropologist, Clifford Geertz and his wife decided to go to a small village in Bali with the intentions of studying Balinese culture. He begins his essay by discussing his first impressions on the Balinese’s attitudes towards outsiders. The Balinese typically treat those who are not part of their society by simply ignoring them. This mistreatment continued until 10 days after his arrival to Bali when an illegal cockfight they were attending was raided by police, and Geertz ran with the Balinese instead of going to the police.

Additionally, group leaders are culturally sensitive to differences in power and privilege among groups from different ethnic backgrounds. Encouraging participation from members who are hesitant to speak up as well as ensuring that all ground rules are enforced are responsibilities of an effective group leader. However, also being aware that not every member is as comfortable in sharing as others are key for group leaders to be

Cultural/Ethnic groups are what make up this great world. In this paper, I will be writing about Native Hawaiians. The depth and knowledge in which I had about the Native Hawaiian before this paper, was very limited, but in my research I found a wide variety of information regarding this cultural group. It is a very complex and beautiful culture. In this paper I will address the history, migration and attending behavior, reflecting skills and relationship skills in the Native Hawaiian culture.

In what concerns cultural practices, Yang, Kou studied the 30th annual Hmong New Year event celebrated in the United States, defined as a unique Hmong festival, which turns to be the occasion of displaying the Hmong culture. However, the researcher noted that this New Year event was also dominated by other activities and concepts, largely influenced by the American culture.

Born and raised in Hawaii I have interacted with many people that have a different culture compared to my own. Hawaii is a place where many people from all over the world would move to better their lives. Hawaii gives the people a new experience from the rest of the world.

The discussion is an open-process, meaning that the decision making is done amongst the group members, not just the leader.

By doing this, it helps to keep everyone on the same page and moving forward in the same direction.

An important part of our learning and growing experience must stem from our ability to analyze and reflect upon the groups that we have been members in. This reflection can define our understanding of the weaknesses both in ourselves and in the others within our group; and it can help to shape the way that we act in future groups. Adjusting ourselves to compensate for our weaknesses, based upon an honest and thorough examination of our actions within a group setting, is one of most important thing for any person to do. It is only through this evaluation that we can improve ourselves and our interactions with others. This paper will examine a group that was required to make an important decision about adding a new member

The formation of interest group is quite difficult task as it requires the unification of people to work together and accomplish the desired needs. Different people have their own way of thinking and also they have different interest on the particular subject. There are many people who are suffering from similar problems, so these people can unite with each other and form a group in order to act against such difficulties.

Decisions need to be made before the group is put together. Groups go through stages. Knowing the stages of the group gives facilitators a chance to utilize suitable interventions. The first stage is the pregroup stage. Careful thought and planning goes into this stage to lay a solid foundation for the group. At this stage the group can be advertised, objectives are formed, membership is taken care of, rules are made, the time and place is chosen and the dynamics of the group is taken into consideration.
