Your thoughts about Toyoda’s demeanor and responses were on point. What really stood out for me was how Toyoda presented himself as a leader even under pressure. I personally thought Toyoda represented the company in a professional manner and addressed concerns while remaining focused on the values, beliefs, and traditions of the Japanese culture. In addition, your point regarding cultural differences was on point as well. The Japanese culture is very different from the American culture as well as other cultures around the world.
1. The observable artifacts associated with the Chrysler culture was that the CEO was located in a penthouse office of the building which Mr. Marchionne moved to the middle of the engineering department; he streamlined senior leadership, and to the remaining 15 members he gave them added responsibility feeling that the more decisions they had to make the faster they would work to meet the deadlines; he also gave them the opportunity to take full authority to take risks without worrying about bureaucrats barriers and they were allowed to make smart decisions and to be held accountable for them (Lueneburger, 2014).
He believes in the core values of the company, and his leadership style reflects them throughout the store.

For Americans, World War II began on December 7, 1941 with the attack of Pearl Harbor, but war had been going on for years elsewhere. In the Eastern Hemisphere, war had been going on for several years with the help of two communist powers; Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. Stalin by signing the nonaggression pact accepted Germanys plan to invade Poland. Hitler quickly invaded Poland in a blitzkrieg (lightning war). France and England acted quickly by declaring war on Germany, and because the Japanese had planned so extensively they had a neutrality treaty with the Soviet Union signed in case they were to go into war with the U.S. and England. This becomes the European war, which is greatly known as WW2 when the United States, Japan, and England
Conversation has the power to change people’s opinions on certain topics. Having a conversation allows for Appiah’s idea of cosmopolitanism to come back to life, Allowing people from all over the world to learn about each other’s culture. Yoshino’s idea of covering is when people change aspects about themselves in order to fit into the mainstream. Appiah and Yoshino are against people hiding their true identity in order to be liked by the majority of society. Both of them believe people should respect each other but not necessarily have the same views on the topic. They both want the world to cosmopolitan and be more open to other ways of thinking. Civil rights functions like social practices because it forces people from all walks to be accepted,

What does Abraham Lincoln mean to you? The brief story of Abraham Lincoln can be told: he was born February 12, 1809, died April 15,1865, he was a Republican, he had a wife named Mary, and had four children. The brief story is not what should be told though, the full story of Abraham Lincoln should be told. People may associate him with how tall he was or his mark on ending slavery, but there is much more than that. Lincoln's road was a long and hard one, one that should be traveled. President Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States and one of the greatest the nation has ever known.
The events of the expansion of British America, the decline of the Native American population in the east, and the transition from indentured servitude to race-based servitude in the period of 1660 - 1700 shared a close relationship with one another (Schultz, 2013). First, the creation of proprietary colonies allowed their ruler to establish governments as they wished, as long as their laws aligned with those of England. This freedom to rule a colony was extremely attractive because if ruled successfully, the ruler or proprietors of that colony had an opportunity to become wealthy. Furthermore, African slaves discovered that rice could be easily grown in areas where it was thought that there were little agriculture benefits. Next, William Penn promoted a colony which encompassed religious freedom and easy access to land. Penn recruited people from Europe to inhabit his colony, and what we now know today as Pennsylvania, grew exponentially.

Excellent businesses are the direct result of excellent management, and Fortune magazine highly ranks them as one of the “Best Companies to Work For” (Schermerhorn & Bachrach. 2015. p. 456). His leadership style is a balance of both the Human Relations and Democratic styles. He shows the Human Relations style through the support of his employees over the tasks of work by his philosophy of building the culture and all other aspects of the business will follow suit (Schermerhorn & Bachrach. 2015. p. 456). The only aspect of his leadership that could come under criticism would be where the line between work and fun is drawn. With the company’s focus on quality over quantity, there might be financial benefits that are not being realized. The leadership approach that he takes is definitely situational and would not achieve the same result if it were implemented in such fields as health care or the legal profession.
