A theoretical view of cultural dimensions Introduction The cultural dimension is a critical factor in determining human beings’ co-existence in Society. Culture indicates how human beings relate to one another and how they interact and change ideas. Culture are features that define a particular and group of people, language, belief, customs, social activities, and style of dressing (Kim,2017). Culture differs across all communities and societies, and it is common to find a community’s culture being another community’s taboo that is punishable wrongdoing. Therefore in this research paper will be focusing on how culture affects different activities in different dimensions in Society. Definition of Hofestede᾿s cultural dimensions In defining cultural aspects in the line of hofestede᾿s, the following scholars conducted studies in an attempt to define the term. Concerning Maslow’s theory of the hierarchy of human need Welzel, (2013) linked the cultural dimension to the human mind. When human beings feel insecure and freedom deprived, they tend to give security a priority. When they feel more secure, they put all their efforts in search of democracy because freedom will help them…
codes of ethics in Human service Human service is a field of study whose aim is to meet the different social needs through the use of applied science.

Being responsible to the clients is one primary ethical code that one should have. Professionals in the human service department have to identify…
Feminist Research Essentially, feminist research can be defined as research on what is called “feminist” based on the encounter of women in a world largely dominated by men. The purpose of this study is to create useful knowledge that contributes to ideas from different perspectives. Feminism focuses on agents who share similar plans with men and overcome conflicts by gender, competence and class. This component was built in the 1980s. Since then, feminist research has focused on how men have physically changed women’s lives, and the development of strategies can counteract this process (Mary Maynard 2005). There is little consensus on feminist research on absolute terminology to accurately identify feminist theory and practice. So it is not really an isolated theory. Patricia McGuire (Bretton 1997) explains that feminism (i) includes the knowledge and belief that women are subject to some form of oppression (ii) the obligation to oppress and exploit women in any way. (Brettin 1997). Feminism as a distinctive approach in social sciences Arguably, feminism is a distinctive approach in social sciences based on the presence of unique feminist…

Social contracts may be in the form of regulations, constitutions, laws, social norms, religious practices, and conventional expectations.

Annotated Bibliography on Little Red Riding Hood Antonelli, Emanuele. “Little Red Riding Hood: Victimage in Folktales and Cinema—A Case Study.” Contagion: Journal of Violence, Mimesis, and Culture, vol. 22, 2015, pp. 107–132. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/10.14321/contagion.22.1.0107. Accessed 24 Feb. 2020. The article interprets the various versions of the Little Red Riding Hood story and particularly the recent film adaptations. The story of the Little Red Riding Hood began as a folktale told to young children by European mothers and nurses. The article notes that Charles Perrault published the first written version of LRRH and proceeds to highlight translations from other authors. Despite the variations, the different versions maintain the same theme that children should obey their parents when they walk through dangerous areas, and beware of seemingly friendly strangers, because wolves may lurk in every guise. The article argues that there is more to the story than that of a children’s story, such as the little girl represents a young woman experiencing profound sexual impulses. Other interpretations of the story are that the story is about violence against women, identity and sexuality…
Article Summaries and Analysis Article 1 In the article Comparing Stewardship Across Faith-Based Organizations, Schneider (2012) details a comparative study of 81 faith communities and faith-based organizations in the United States and their findings, which revealed that systems were generalizable across localities and religions although they emerged from religious cultures that were adapted to fit the U.S. system. According to the research, most faith-based organizations acted and operated based on the values and beliefs of the supporting faith or religion such as “justice” “and charity” (Schneider, 2012, 518); however, this was not a prerequisite for faith groups to offer support. Sometimes, organizations relied on networks between of individuals and organizations within the faith community and among nonprofits that guide the individual organizations. Still, an evolving culture within the founding faith community shaped stewardship strategies for faith-based organizations. Various religions (Evangelicals, Jews, Catholics, Mainline Protestants, Quakers, and African American Christians) organized stewardship in three ways: congregational, institutionalized, and network. The article is important in public administration because it helps understand stewardship of faith-based organizations and leadership principles and approaches common to…

Project communication Question 1 The case study presentation has clearly stated how the project was carried out and its findings. The slides are direct and easy to understand. From the presentation the project was successful even though they experienced some challenges. They experienced many scientific discoveries and had published thousands of the research paper. The slide on performance showed how each team got to work on different responsibility and their outcome. Even though the Goddard flight space center had other project, they were already working on, they agreed to provide support to the marshall as they led the project. Therefore, the presentation showed the essential details of the project. The project seemed to be time-consuming because, according to the technical challenges they experience, they were not easy to repair and correct; hence the project was lengthy. The estimated budget was lower than the actual cost. This means that they experienced changes while doing the project. The two teams also had a difficult time working together, their communication was weak, and they competed to outdo each other. Questions 2 When I…
