The Goal Paper This course has been very insightful on the aspect of negotiation. From this course, I learned the do’s and don’ts when it comes to negotiation. To begin with, I learned that negotiation is both a science and an art. One needs to be aware that other persons across table are as prepared, smart, unpredictable and determined as him or her. The negotiations may take any directions. As such, it is important for one to be flexible in his or her approach to negotiation. Flexibility ensures that amicable results which are favorable for every person are achieved. I intend to use the skills I have learned on the art of negotiation in my day-to-day activities, for instance, when I am buying something like a car or selling my merchandize. Additionally, I learned that culture influences many aspects of the negotiation process. One crucial knowledge I acquired about culture is that most of can be easily missed.  For instance, it may influence the goal of this process. Some negotiators may be interested in forging strong relationships while others are…

You had to arrive in the host city days in advance. To get a lay of the land and look for tickets. However, this came with a few disadvantages.

Peer Review on Green Washing Jake started his presentation with confidence and enthusiasm, which gave the audience the sense that he was well versed in the topic of discussion. A self-introduction was made, and a subsequent topic introduction was equally made. Jake’s focus was greenwashing, which refers to the masking of a product or service negative aspects (Watson, 2016). Jake did not only define what greenwashing is but gave examples as well, such as the Volkswagen scandal (Lane, 2016). An audience not familiar with greenwashing, thus better and clearly understood what greenwashing refers to. Jake also discussed the history and background of greenwashing, which most of us were surprised to know that it was not a new concept as it started decades ago (Watson, 2016). I particularly liked the introduction part because Jake was audible and confident. The voice variation and tone were well used to keep the audience captivated. Jake was also very articulate with great pronunciation and excellent use of grammar. Audibility and vocal variation is also a critical presentation aspect (Anthony, 2020). A soft voice and a…

Cuba:Cultural and Social Norms Cubans are known to be open-minded and friendly in their approach to people and issues. The country is also predominantly a mix of different ethnicities. The mix attributes to Cuba being a multicultural country as different cultures are represented (“Cultural Information – Cuba | Centre for Intercultural Learning”, 2018). Religion plays a significant role in the cultural attributes of any community. Religion gives direction and impacts how people do the things they do as regards beliefs and values. Religious people are thus more likely to have beliefs and values that align with spirituality. In most instances, religion positively impacts people and, by extension, the community. Cuba openly practices religion (“Cultural Information – Cuba | Centre for Intercultural Learning”, 2018), which translates to Cubans having a belief and value system. The openness, friendliness, casual, and laid back culture also makes it possible for foreigners to fit in easily. Such an attribute means that people seeking to work in Cuba would have an easier time assimilating into the Cuban culture. These attributes are thus not only beneficial to…

The Concept of Self-Care According to Alkema, Linton, and Davies (2008), the concept of a self-care plan refers to a wellness curriculum guide that thoughtfully constructed and intentionally engaging in promoting the health and wellbeing of human beings. It assumes the concept of being a lifelong learner. Through a self-care plan, an individual builds a curriculum of attitudes, skills, and knowledge in support of their wellbeing. As a professional working with young people, there is a need to learn ways of identifying activities and practices that support your wellbeing and assist you in sustaining positive self-care in the long-term. Developing a Self-care Plan According to Butler (2017), while developing a self-care plan, there is a need to identify what one values most and requires as part of their day-to-day life -maintenance self-care. Also, there is a need to identify the various strategies one can employ when one faces a crisis along with the way-emergency self-care. There exists no one-size-fits-all self-care plan. However, there is a common thread to all self-care plans, which involves committing to attend to all the domains…

Christ’s Wisdom for Leaders, CEOs, and Entrepreneurs   Maybe you are a CEO who has to deal with complicated people.  Or you are an entrepreneur that is struggling to establish a successful business. It could be that the pressure of being a great leader is becoming real, and a part of you just wants to quit.   Could it be that you are struggling to become a good leader, CEO or entrepreneur because of your past pain?   Fear, anxiety, and doubt have become a major part of your life. All this is making you insecure because you are beginning to allow the past to control your life.  You no longer feel motivated though deep down, you know that God has called you into the marketplace, to lead others or run that company.  Much as you want to quit, you know that it is not the right thing to do.   Well, we have all been there.   There are things that we go through in life that leave us fearful, anxious and doubtful. Rejection, failure and bad experiences can…

An Analysis of Homan’s And Strauss’s Methods of Deriving the Meaning of Primitive Religion Bronislaw Malinowski and Arthur Reginald Radcliffe-Brown are, in some circles, considered the creators of modern anthropology particularly both had assisted in developing a theory and method that was established by the anthropologists of the midcentury as the “science of society”. However, major changes in the 1960s saw the reconceptualization of economics and politics as well as the emergence of new concepts that transformed anthropology. One particular academic who ushered the new age of thinking was Claude Levi-Strauss who revolutionized the discipline by bringing an epistemological break with earlier methods of study. This paper will compare two texts: George C. Homan’s “Anxiety and Ritual: The Theories of Malinowski and Radcliffe-Brown” and “The Structural Study of Myth by Claude Levi-Strauss”. It will analyze how the texts deal with a similar challenge but employ different approaches of dealing with the problem. The first text is an attempt by Homans to theoretically dispel the conflict between Malinowski and Radcliffe-Brown over the relationship between magic rituals and anxiety in different communities.…
