Globalization and the role of HR in organizational culture   Globalization Globalization is a phenomenon that connects people and industries over the world through common channels, like technology and transport. For the past few decades, globalization and it’s after-effects have changed our world and have profoundly impacted the service industries by changing their standards of productions. Globalization and organizational culture With the increase of globalization, the labour unions in companies have ceased to exist, which earlier used to be a part of the organization. Many jobs that were unionized in the manufacturing plants in the developed countries (Like the United States) have been moved to foreign nations, thus decreasing the memberships of the labour union (Young, & Tackett, 2018). Companies now can recruit personnel from outside their country through outsourcing, without needing them to relocate. Also, globalization has enabled a company to open up its branches outside its home country, allowing them to employ staff from around the world who might help them operate ion foreign soils. Globalization has also brought a change in production quality standards and product advertising.…

Asian Culture Located in the Eastern and Western hemispheres of the earth, Asia is the worlds’ most extensive and the most populated continent. It covers an area of 44,579,000 square kilometers, which represents 30% of the earth’s land area. As of June 2019, its population was 4.5 billion, which represents 60% of the worlds’ population.

The continent is divided into six regions; Central Asia, Southeast Asia, West Asia, North Asia, East Asia, and South Asia. Each of the areas has its religion, cultures, and languages. Trade is the primary factor that influenced the spread and diversity of Asian cultures. People from different regions were able to connect as a result of their various sea routes and road networks present in the area. The Asian cinema, commonly known as the Eastern cinema, is diverse; this is as a result of the many cultures and languages present in the region. Asian Culture Culture is…

poor person culture that would be challenging to work with and stereotypes associated with it Introduction  Stereotypes exist in society. Some have adverse effects on the individuals or cultures being stereotyped, while some have little to no adverse impact. Stereotyping dictates how things are done and how situations are translated. It is in this regard that stereotypes can have both negative and positive outcomes. Stereotyping is, however, associated with negativity, and it is in this regard that the paper focuses on stereotypes related to poor people. The paper outlines a poor person culture that would be challenging to work with, stereotypes associated with it, and practices that would make working with the culture more effective. Culture Different economic backgrounds have different lifestyles. An environment with poor people in a poor neighborhood would be challenging to work with. Poor people are not accommodative of people outside of their territory and view outsiders with suspicion. Crime rate is high among poor people; hence working with this bracket becomes challenging. Trust is also very low; therefore, working with this group becomes even more…

Authoritative parenting in western culture The different styles of parenting available play a significant role in the growth and development of children in western culture. No one parenting style fits every child, and as such, they should be adapted depending on the child’s and the parents’ personalities. Among the main parenting styles include; authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and uninvolved parenting. This essay will talk about authoritative parenting. As the name suggests, it involves parents having more control over their children’s behaviour. In this case, the parents intend to promote freedom and independence in their children, but at the same time, they exercise a certain level of control. As a result, the children become more mature and responsible at the early stages of their lives. The parents do this by promoting accountability which helps the children to respond to different circumstances in life in the best way possible. These styles aim at providing an optimum, well-developed child of competence and character. (“Authoritative Parenting”, 2019) Parenting is an important determinant factor in a child’s behaviour since children learn from what they see in…

Humor and Culture in International Business In Chris Smit’s TED talk, he tries to shed more light on the vast implications of stereotypes and the sense of humor. According to Chris, every society has something unique about its culture and way of life, collectively referred to as stereotypes in this context. For instance, if one presents himself as an Italian, one of the things that are likely to linger in somebody’s mind is the Italian mafia. On the other hand, when one presents himself as a German that what comes to somebody’s mind is their failure to win the last soccer world cup tournament despite their high reputation in football. Smit further points out that different societies have different senses of humor. However, some cultures prefer making humor about others and not about themselves. For example, the Germans’ sense of humor is a real thing. They turn fun into a real business, the same to the Dutch and Britons. Concerning Smit’s talk, I believe fun can be a good strategy of alleviating stereotypical exchanges because they are not culturally neutral..…

History and culture History and culture are what define a community and how it came to exist. Michel de Montaigne, in writing the chapters of his essays, he focuses on writing about the history and culture of communities. From the New World, Montaigne says that he was very determined to know the indigenous cultures of the New World, and again he was interested and had the desire to know more about himself. Through this, we can conclude that the role of history and culture is to help people have knowledge about their past and understand how they came to be. When people are curious about how their community came to adopt certain cultures, they might go back and investigate what happened in the past. This is digging back on history to gather facts or theories that might satisfy our curiosity about things. On the other hand, Of Cannibals is another chapter of Montaigne essays that talks about history and culture. He says that if one decides to find any information about the history of a specific culture, then one must…
