How Society Contributes to Stoic Stand in Men I once noticed a billboard that carried my attention. It was a piece of an advert for men lotion. The advert was well laid, and the background was on pink color. The message was very clear. It said that a man should never smell like a woman. He should be in a lotion that is smelling least and hardly noticeable by passersby. I kept asking myself why it should be said that a woman should not smell like a woman. What if I, as a man I am attracted to strongly scented lotions, should I decline from accessing my preferred commodity because I will smell like a woman? Overly, I realized how society had impacted very many areas of our individual lives. The society has created expectations for each gender, which should be confined in; otherwise, one gets disregarded. Those same social constructs have been adversely influenced men. They never get to speak about their inner feelings because they will be regarded as feminine. Societal constructs have created stoic stances among men,…
HIGH PREVALENCE OF DENTAL ANXIETY IN SOCIETY Introduction Anxieties towards the dental procedures are common difficulties that are faced by dental patients globally. And as a result, most of the dental patients tend to shy away from visiting healthcare centers and clinics for consultations when under less severe dental conditions in fear of what they may have to go through in those clinics, a condition which has been affecting both children and adults as well. With time, the dental health conditions initially considered less severe escalate into major dental problems which cannot be totally controlled or very costly to treat. With a keen look on how this problem gradually proceeds up to the state of being uncontrollable, it’s without any reasonable doubt that the cause is anxiety and controlling it would as well control dental health problems. Managing dental anxiety would imply that dental problems would be noticed early enough and be controlled before they can escalate into severe and uncontrollable states. Relevance As a result of dental anxiety, many patients with dental problems which could have been controlled earlier…
METAPHOR OF CULTURE In most organizations, there are always behaviors that are accepted and have a particular pattern. Therefore, forming the concept of culture in an organization. Culture can also be seen where the workforce has a shared understanding of what they think, feel, and believe. Hence culture in an organization leads to the creation of a mini-society in an organization and the have its own culture and subculture. The movement of culture as a metaphor began when many of the scholars had different opinions on the rational model of organizations. Their argument of rationality came because of their belief that most of the decisions, mission statements, and goals in an organization usually have a plan and also follow many considerations. According to Linda Smircich (1983) suggested two concepts on an organizational structure that include organizational culture as a variable and organizational structure as the essence of an organization. Linda believes that culture has a critical attribute that usually influences outcomes. The impact on results is generally seen in productivity and worker satisfaction. Culture, as the essence of an organization,…

CULTURE CLASH IN THE BOARDROOM It is important to understand that the case at hand plays a critical role in exploring different issues that might arise while performing business across borders. In fact, the case in question plays a significant part in speaking of a joint venture existing between a German based organization as well as China. In particular, the German firm tries to expand its operations into China and for it to do so; it must try to get China to agree with what the organization is providing. On the same note, the available culture block comes into play as the two involved ventures operate their businesses in various ways. It is noteworthy that the case at hand is a prime instance of various issues experienced when doing global business. Simply put, it is evident that the aforementioned type of business has both negative as well as positive effects to the decision that is made (Xin and Wang 2011). In fact, the idea of international culture is the fundamental issue that faces many investors who wish to venture in…

Ng is now chief science officer for Baidu, China’s leading search engine company; he directs Baidu’s AI research effort in Silicon Valley. Ng’s move, from leading US tech companies to a Chinese tech powerhouse just moving into AI, is indicative of a wider shift. China, increasingly, is seeking to challenge Western dominance in AI.[unique_solution] “Artificial intelligence” refers both to systems that show aspects of human-like intelligence–understanding language, reasoning, problem solving, and the like–and to the field concerned with the development of such systems.

Culture and Socialization Culture refers to the knowledge and characteristics of a specific group of individuals that encompasses religion, language, social habits, arts and music amongst others. Moreover, culture has been defined as the shared behavioral patterns and interactions, understanding and the cognitive constructs learned through socialization (Greenfield, 2016). Thus, culture may be perceived as the growth of the identity of a given group that is mainly fostered by distinctive social patterns of a group. Consequently, socialization refers to the adaptation of the behaviors considered to be norms of a given society or culture. Theory Cooley’s looking-glass self refers to the social psychological idea that maintains that asserts that an individual’s self is derived from the perception of others and the society’s interpersonal interactions. This mainly implies that individuals shape themselves on the basis of how they are perceived by others, and this leads to the individuals reinforcing the perspectives that others on themselves. In his theory of the formation of self, Mead hypothesized that the self consists of two key parts, namely; self-image and self-awareness. In this regard,…
