Reflective report: LOOK THE MODULE DESCRIPTION
It would like to address here in this report some the most importance elements about what I have learned in this course up to now(MSc in public service). meanwhile, it must be said that some of these knowledge acquired is due to the environment surrounding me.
I have been studying throughout this course moving from one module to another. such as, Marketing in an International context, Management organisational behaviour, Management environment and the most interesting one for me is the international Management and Leadership across culture.
Two things at the beginning of this course surprised me. First one is the team working idea which I have not never exercised such thing befeore, we were divided into small groups in order to achieve appointed goals and the second surprise is the diversity amongst students in regard their subjects. There are students in human resource others in international management, ,general management and me with other in public service. Although all these mentioned above were seemed odds and buzzling at the beginning of this course, I realised afterwards that a significant values added to my knowledge due to that. For example, I have Ai have got significant improvement in the communication skills as well as exposed to different culture. Therefore, I was led practically to explore and experience multicultural. That’s indeed was great opportunity for me. For a student who interest in the

Each course within the program has strengthened my skills within the competencies, preparing me enter in higher levels of government. In my learning processes while completing my MPA degree, I have developed a working knowledge of leading and managing with multiple stakeholders, while producing
In a world that is becoming increasingly dynamic and interconnected where each of us are becoming more dependent on each other, diversity is a crucial element of life. Never in human history have students had available to them the
The culture of team is weak, as there are no established norms and values or ground rules. As such, there was a discrepancy in the development of the team during the norming stage, as discussed previously. The team also engaged in a cultural clash in terms of industry areas, country/ethnic differences, and subcultures. The MGI founders related to a creative and artistic industry, while the students were business focused. The cultural differences manifested themselves in terms of language and expectations. And finally, within the subgroups were individual subcultures, which lead to a difference in values, roles, purposes, and goals especially when disagreements between these subcultures occurred (Hofstede, 1998). Multicultural teams can be more
Albeit everything is new for me initially however the thing which I felt new is the way to manage this diverse class by forming a group on first day whose each member is different than other, by perfectly united them as per their reasoning
This simulation was the most challenging for me thus far. During this simulation, what resonated with me most was the importance of prioritizing and patient education. In order to successfully complete this VSIM I had to ask the patient how she was breathing despite seeing the 02 level rise and I also decided to give her a breathing mask before giving her an incentive spirometer to encourage her to cough, which in hindsight was common sense. It was surprising to find out this patient smokes even though she has a history of respiratory issues. I imagine that in a real life situation she would receive some patient education about the dangers of smoking and maybe patches to help quit. Overall, I enjoyed this VSIM because I had to correct a lot
With that been said, through the semester my experience and my views of people who are different form me has changed. I am not saying that I’ve changed, but, my learning about other people gave me different look of who they think of me. Personally I’ve always treated everyone the same, and this course is about fairness and justice for everyone. As the course progressed I engaged more eager to learn about those issues more from different prospective, especially from the white students that don’t have the same experience as the others like black or Hispanic. Furthermore, there were things that were ambiguous to me that I learned mostly, were social and economic issues, for example the divide that exist between the poor and rich, also racism and its roots and the connection between capitalism and racism was unknown to me.

At first I had no idea of what to expect of this course Human Diversity. After all, taking the course has been very beneficial to me and my future. Human Diversity has broadened my worldview (The overall perspective from which one sees and interrupt the world.) by allowing me to learn and gain more knowledge about the world I live in. Taking this course has had a wonderful impact on my future. Learning about diversity was a great idea and needed as well. As I finish the course up I can say I have learned and gotten the chance to experience a lot from this course.
This report will break into five sections. The first section Introduction will build some background knowledge of the organization, the department, the project I work at. The next section Work Experience will be talking about my work experience at RCMP in details. It will start with an overview of the project, the technologies used, and its utilization in the organization. I will then explain my duties and responsibilities, as well as some of the challenges I faced through this work term. My thoughts and reflections on this work term is going to be elaborated more in the third section Reflections on Work Experience. It will be discussed from the perspective of the organization, the University, and my own career path. The report
I intend to expand my multicultural knowledge till the year of 2018. I am planning to take some classes such as American culture to learn more about this multicultural country. I, as a future manager, have to build my knowledge
During this course, I feel that I should work on building a more professional attitude and behavior, and improving on business practices. These areas will be important in any profession I decide to take upon graduating with my degree in Business Administration. Maintaining a professional attitude and behavior in the workplace will be helpful to insure that I do not disrespect coworkers by interrupting them while they talk about their ideas. It will also help me to value colleague opinions, avoid gossip, and be cordial
For this group of students, taking courses at DVC was their first experience with American education. They were high achievers, but many were not accustomed to interacting with other ethnicities. Dealing with diversity can be challenging and the reality that we all have biases that are linked to (often) an inherited set of values and beliefs. As the instructor, my role was to help or guide them in overcoming these discomforts by providing an engaging, inclusive environment and designing group-based discussions and collaborative projects. In this environment, they learned to view cultural issues or problems from multiple perspectives, expand their worldview and work as a team towards an objective. These students in turn added to my knowledge of their respective cultures. For example, from a Southeast Asian student, I learned the adage, “that you have not eaten till you have had rice.” In addition, from a female Chinese student I discovered how millennial women in China are altering their views of marriage- opting to stay single, focus on their career, and wait for the right partner and
The above characteristics suggest that I work in a truly global and culturally diverse business environment; therefore; cultural wisdom and cognition gained through this course can definitely improve the effectiveness of our global interactions.
