Khademian's book, "Working With Culture", is similar to Selznick's Leadership in Administration, in that both focus on the less technical aspects of public administration (structure and hierarchy) and instead look at problems that arise "between the lines" so to speak - that of people within the organization, and more specific to her work; the idea of culture within an organization. While this is not something that has been unknown, in fact it has been brought up in almost all of the works we have read so far, what is specific to the work we previously read, by Selznick, and Khademian's is an understanding of culture as something that does exist, not by mere chance as Cook and Wilson took it, but as something that should be acknowledged,

An amazing college level course that could be offered to first-year students in the Global Scholars program would be a cultural exploration course. Not only would it be a physical exploration course, but also a mental exploration course. Students would begin the course by sharing where they want to travel and their reasons for doing so. The most popular places would be chosen by the amount of interest. Afterwards, some classes would be spent exploring the history and culture of those specific places. Students could perform skits, make costumes of traditional clothing of the area, construct unique pieces, or do other creative things to show their understanding of the areas and their personal thoughts on them. After presenting their creations,

Everyone has a God given purpose to their life. It’s a matter of knowing what that purpose is and using it for good. I believe my purpose in life is to be an achiever and be very consistent through God. The reason I say this is because, I have great goals beyond college, I never give up, and I have great morals. It is great to have great goals beyond college, because that is where God starts to really test you and show you your purpose.

Anthropology is split into four different sections; cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, archeology, and biological anthropology. If I were to favor one branch of anthropology, over the others, it would have to be cultural anthropology. Although, it was hard to make the decision of which branch I favored the most, I chose cultural anthropology because it gives us a greater understanding of why we are the way we are. Also, why others are the way they are.

Kroeber and Kluckhohn (1962) identify over 150 scientific definitions of the concept of culture. Indeed, many authors have tried to define culture and this is why there are so many definitions and that a unique one is hard to find. First of all, Kroeber and Kluckholn (1952) assume that culture is a suite of patterns, implicit and explicit, “of and for behaviour acquired and transmitted by symbols, constituting the distinctive achievements of human groups, including their embodiments in artefacts” (p.47). Later, Hofstede adds that culture is “the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one category of people from another” (Hofstede, 1991, p.51). This definition is the most widely accepted one amongst practitioners. For Winthrop (1991), culture is the distinctive models of thoughts, actions and values that composed members of a society or a social group. In other words,
