Culture and Global HRM In the current business environment, the internalization of business is increasingly becoming an inevitable precondition for future development and growth of organizations. However, the internalization of businesses necessitates organizations to formulate and actualize different changes in the course of business operations. One of the sectors that need changes in human resource management. In the modern world economy, human professionals, employees, and managers work with individuals from different cultural backgrounds. Most global businesses are facing the problem of adaptability to the varied cultures that employees and managers are subjected to in the course of business operations. Most employees encounter awkward situations regularly. The major problem that hinders global effective human resource management is perhaps the communication aspect. Different cultures have varied languages and hence make it almost impossible to have seamless communication. The problem of communication in international human resource management is amongst the compelling forces that have necessitated research on culture and international human resource management. This paper is purposed to examine tools and options for enhancing effective communication in the global economy. Also, the paper…
Reflecting on more contemporary writers Reflecting on more contemporary writers (e.g. Gillman, Du Bois, Fanon) we could argue that each in their own way builds upon ideas presented by the core theorists (Marx, Durkheim, and Weber). Discuss how these writers are informed by one of those theorists, and elaborate on how you believe they go beyond that theorist to improve our understanding of contemporary society? Gilman, Du Bois, and Fanon have all been informed by Marx and have all gone beyond him to improve our understanding of contemporary society. Gilman, on his side, was informed by the conflict theory and went beyond Marx’s demonstration. Fanon as well builds on Marx from the ideas of alienation. To Du Bois, he was informed by the idea of capitalism and the economist and liberal thoughts. Gilman, in her own way, builds upon ideas presented by Marx. The Marxist conflict theory-informed her. Although Marx informed her, Gilman also partook in the initial wave of feminism, challenging social ideals, that women are subordinate to men. There are similarities in these two theorists and also differences…
An in-depth analysis of Hamlet Society forms the core of our sense of being and the moral values we perceive in our daily routines. The environment that the community surrounds us with forms the center to the character and the character traits we take up. These factors can vary from the people we associate ourselves with the actions and outcomes of a particular situation; all these affect us in one way or another in developing our self-understanding. Self-concept is the image we all have of ourselves, an individual’s behavioral perceptions, and personal characteristics. Self-discovery is an ever-changing theme in our lives that become cemented with age (Oyserman et al.).

The plot talks of Prince Hamlet, who is in a quest to revenge his father’s demise. The siting King Claudius…
stereotype in both Eastern and Western cultures There is a common stereotype in both Eastern and Western cultures where it is believed that women are emotional than men. This is mostly when the response to negative emotions is concerned. Emotions have been gendered, and this topic seeks to identify the difference between women and men in various ways in which the two genders express their feelings. It is believed that women discrete emotions such as happiness, sadness, disguise, and fear more than men. Many scholars and researchers have found out that most of the expression of different emotions in men and women is due to the socialized gender roles. Studies show that the expression of these emotions are not biologically caused but caused by the difference in social expectations of men and women in society. Psychologists do not agree with the notion that men experience fewer emotions as compared to women. Most researchers tell men to express restrictive emotions. This refers to the act od constantly expressing certain emotions and unwillingly disclose intimate feelings. The tendency of men exhibiting…
What justice is as described in The Republic and Crito? Plato gives a crucial platform of justice concept. He used Dikaisyne” which is a Greek word for justice, which is a closer term to righteousness and morality. It is surrounded by the entire duty of man. It more also includes the subject of personal behavior as far as it touches on others. Plato asserts that justice is soul worth, as an aspect in which people get rid of irrational needs to taste each pleasure, attain selfish achievement from each object, and fit themselves to the release of one function for universal gain. Cephalus asserts that justice is talking about the truth and returning debt. He thus associates justice with good conduct. On the other hand, according to Polemarchus justice includes issuing what is good to him. This implies that justice is acting right to friends and wrong to your rivals. Thrasymachus, who stands for the critical and new perception, advanced the entire concept of justice. He describes justice as the interest of the powerful. Which implies that power is correct.…

different dimensions of art Feminism Philosophers have long argued that as empirical and objective as science is, it cannot capture and explain phenomena like emotion and the true essence of the soul (Brooklyn Museum, 2019). Art has been there from the onset of time, from cave paintings of Neanderthals to sophisticated skyscrapers in metropolitan cities and hanging tapestries reigning supreme in several museums all over the world. Through art, there has been self-expression and the portrayal of the surrounding society from which the piece of art originates (Eusebio, 2019). Art has served as a source of beauty and as a means to capture beauty itself (Brooklyn Museum, 2019). It has also aided several societal purposes like critiquing political regimes. This paper aims to see the different dimensions of art, how they affect the artists and the society around them, and how they evoke resonance from those who are subjected to them. Art and the Public Scene A number of artists get inspired by the society around them. Occurrences that stir the artistic side of an individual, be it a painter,…
Quality and Availability of Ethics Training in Criminal Justice Introduction Many reasons cause integrity, moral, and ethical issues in law enforcement officers. The reasons range from lack of adequate training to stress and depression, to loose morals and corrupt officers and their superiors. This research paper examines some ethical laws and problems and offers some solutions. Ethical Problems in Law Enforcement Like any other profession, law enforcement has its code of ethics that each law enforcement officer must abide by. However, due to their nature of work, law enforcement has its unique subculture. A culture such as loyalty, which they call brotherhood, blue line code of silence, teamwork, safety, and sacrifice are necessary for law enforcement officers to succeed in their work (McCartney & Parent, 2015). However, such culture can become unethical when the law enforcement officers go beyond their obligation to each other and maintaining law and order. For instance, corruption is a widespread practice in law enforcement. Loyalty and code of silence prevent law enforcement officers from exposing such corruption since it is either their friends or someone…

It shows us about women in careers and the unseen struggles they face while navigating the work environment. An analysis of this film shows that psychopaths are hard to change even with medication and rehabilitation.
