Southern Company Culture

The Southern United States is a very interesting place, full of culture and history, such as the Civil War battlefields or the antique shops that you see along the side of the road as you drive through this beautiful part of the United States. It has many different characteristics and many different special things that make it unique. Globalization and Identity, Ethnicity, Religion, The Social Construction of Race, Gender Roles, Class, Places and Spaces (Regional Identity) , and Linguistic Diversity in the south are all topics that I will discuss in this essay.

What is unique about the southern culture? The southern culture is unlike any other, it possesses a very diverse group with many different, ethnic communities, and religions. While still binding them all together with one common thread, their heritage. Even with all the differences, southerners embrace each other, reaching across the lines of color, religion, or social standing. Going the extra mile to help someone in need, even if they aren’t family, or a close friend.

In the 1930’s there was a lot of racial tensions and expectations for southern culture. Things are different now than they were back then like the culture, but especially gender roles in the south.

The North and South emerged as two distinct reasons because they had various differences. These differences included the geography, the economy, and the society. The geography in the north was full of mountains while the south has plains. The economy in the south wasn’t as good in the north, as the south was less populated. The north's society was full of mostly white settlers, while the south is full of black slaves.

Social norms are defined as the behaviors and actions that are expected of people in group settings. Specifically, in the mid-eighteen hundreds, constraining social norms and societal beliefs had a great impact on the manner in which one would behave towards or deal with others. The ideas surrounding social norms dictated how people treated one another in that era. However, in both modern society and the past, the ideas associated with slavery, education, religion, societal beliefs, and morals are controversial. Within the context of Mark Twain’s story, the South did not see slavery and racism to be as large of an issue as the practice is seen in modern times. Huck and partners in crime also encounter challenges relating to education, and

This report examines cultural and institutional factors of Mexico and how they can impact global HR management and practices. Specifically, by analyzing Mexican culture based on Hofstede’s dimensions, economy, labor legislation, union and employment tradition we reached the conclusion that the features of Mexican culture (high power distance, strong collectivism, high level of masculinity and uncertainty avoidance) and institutional factors have a strong impact on management styles and HR practices of business in Mexico and may arouse some challenges for global company and their expatriates, especially those from countries that bear different cultural features and institutional conditions. In order to minimize the potential conflict between Mexican local employees and expatriates, parent companies need to provide trainings (culture assimilation, country condition, etc.) before sending anybody to Mexico. Also, whether the expatriates should put more effort to disseminate home country (headquarter) culture or to adjust to local culture depends on the company’s strategy in terms of being localized or standardized around the globe.

As of today, religion still maintains an impact throughout the domain of the South. Religion in the South supports infrastructure educational and social services. It also inhibits the growth of the traditional denominations to prosper, ranging from Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran and even Catholic. Baptist make about 50% of church affiliation population in the south while Methodist is about a quarter and Presbyterian around 10% or so ( Wison 1).Throughout the entire range of life of many religious denominations since they were first introduced to the South, they have been able to preserve their culture even during the social changes. To fully understand the southern religious establishments, we must compromise motives, interaction and movements

The South was an important region inside the United States. Their economy and culture is what made this region quite distinctive. The south differed from the rest of the nation in its architecture, guns, horsemanship, land. Their economy and culture of the South was based on slavery. Cotton plantations were the most profitable cash crop in the South. The rapid expansion of the cotton throughout the South, became more dependent on enslaved workers. This had become a powerful, profitable economic growth development. In addition, they were dependent on slaves for their agricultural economies. As a consequence of these factors, the South were determined to retain slavery. The Southerners began to view slavery as a positive factor. After

In this chapter, we first provide coverage of expansion through corporate takeovers and an overview of the consolidation process. Then we present the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations followed by limited coverage of the purchase method and pooling of interests provided in a separate sections.

Southern culture has always been, and continues to be more socially conservative than that of the rest of America. Slavery, while framing the foundation of the Southern economy, became just as much the political and social premise of Southern identity as well. Southern society maintained a social hierarchy according to land ownership, and communities often developed strong attachment to their churches as the primary community institution. While only a third of white Southern families were slave owners, most were independent yeoman farmers. Nevertheless, the slave system spoke to the premise of the Southern social and financial structure, and for this reason, even non-slave-owners opposed any suggestions for terminating the arrangement, whether

ABC Corporation has a culture that is based on providing award winning after-sales service to ensure it has repeat customers (WCM 620 Final Project Case Study, 2017).

Companies can decide to go global or to enter international markets for various reasons, and these different objectives at the time of entry that enable the business to produce different strategies and the performance goals, and even forms of market participation.

Through becoming multinational since the cost per unit can be lowered through specialization and expert acquisition. The compounded effect of economies of scale is compounded by increased protection from risks and uncertainties whenever the mother country might be experiencing low economic growth. In many cases the other countries economy might be succeeding and hence the firm might survive the low economic profits from the mother country. For instance, Coca Cola is a multinational company with its roots in United States has made more profit in Mexico and other countries than in the United States for several decades (Coca Cola Company, 2012).In fact, more than 94% of coca cola products are sold internationally and hence this has always re-assured the firm the confidence of never falling even when the United States or Mexico faces financial crisis. Whenever a firm has a wider global market share the probability of it going in to losses in all the countries is minimal if no zero. This makes it self-sustaining and always growing.
