...Caroline Myss once said “Always go with the choice that scares you the most, because that is the one that is going to help you grow.” Life is scary itself. As you get older you experience many things throughout life and wonder why things happen. Everyday we are judged for being ourselves; having a loud laugh, not fashionable, etc. We live in a free country, but yet we get judged by our actions on the daily. We should be able to express ourselves and not worry about the others judging us. Communicating to each other and a little bit of humor wouldn't hurt every once in a while would it? “The land of the free and home to the brave.” I am very thankful to call the United States my home. It gives many races a chance to better themselves, and also a better life. I am so gratified that I am able to go to school and get the education I need. It's not everyday you hear that, but what if we lived in a country like China, that picked what you did? Our government would be extremely strict on everything we did, and we wouldn’t be able to do what we wanted as individuals. Think of things we wouldn't be able to do if we weren't a free country? I may not be able to give my opinion, hangout with my friends, or communicate with other individuals. It's the little things that matter. Communication is a substantial thing in everyday society. Since we were younger our communication have grown as we have. I think I am a strong communicator, being that I can start a conversation with anybody. In today’s...

...I decided to interview and write this paper on my grandfather. I thought he would be the best selection since this man was raised overseas and seen a lot of North African and European/ Arabic culture and was part of the Muslim religion for some time. In this paper I will be writing down the answers I received from him while conducting an interview, but I will write the answer in a way of a story. Born in the City of Algiers Yousef (or as he sometimes went by in America Joe) Mouheb, was born in the 40s my grandfather has grown up with a passion for cars; learning how they work, repairing them, and customizing them.

...Cultural Interview: Khaetthaleeya At the beginning of the fall 2015 semester at Dixie State University (DSU), a friend of mine moved into one of the apartments just outside of campus. I was helping her move a few of her things in when Khaetthaleeya came out to help us. This is where I met Khaetthaleeya, a young college student originally from Nakhonphanom, Thailand. She is the loveliest girl ever, but can be very shy so when I asked her if I could talk to her about her culture, she was kind of hesitant, but then agreed. On November 1, 2015 I interview Khaetthaleeya at her apartments by Dixie State University. She was born in Nakhonphanom, Thailand (which is Southeast of Asia near Vietnam). She moved here to American about 10 years ago with her parents and her younger sister, Waranya. They moved to Beaver, Utah where her mother and father both work at a pig farm. She attended and graduated from Beaver High School in 2012.

...patients are happy, her work place is happy, which makes her happy. As I continued to get to know her, and see her passion for her patients and her facility, I wanted to know more of what she does daily. I asked Gloria what her day is like when she comes into work, she notified me stating “I come in the morning, I arrive around 8:00 AM check with all my patients , and my staff to make sure they have all the paperwork filled, and insurance claims, fraud , I document everything and then check with the RNs to see if they need anything done, or if they need me to get them anything, as we hold a close bond with all our employees. My day also varies from different types of meetings, to even going out of state for an expo.” Gloria was a delight to interview, as her passion really does come out the more she speaks about her work. She has helped confirm that I want to further my education in Health Care Administration, as they do face challenges, the care they have for others, is what makes this facility so successful. One of the things, I retained was to never let anything stop you. Even if things are embarrassing, or out of your comfort zone, it's best to always give it a try. ...

...“Një botë, shumë kultura.” When translated from Albanian to English it reads, “One world, many cultures”. This is how I see our world. Within the United States itself, we have hundreds of cultures represented throughout. We’ve become so diverse that an individual can have two, three, or even four different cultures. With so many cultures, languages, and religions, providing culturally competent care could be difficult. But as nurses we have the privilege to broaden our minds and educate ourselves about these cultures. We learn how to offer care and interventions to these people while respecting their religion, rituals, traditions, and culture. I had the privilege to interview Hermonela Greca, who is of Albanian ancestry. Hermonela opened up to me about her culture, her family dynamics, her religion, and some rituals and traditions that are practiced in her culture. Hermonela was born in Lushnjë, Albania. She speaks a southern Albanian accent, as well as Italian and English. She moved to the United Stated 11 years ago with her husband and two children for a better opportunity at life. To be able to provide for her family, they seek the United States for stable jobs and for better...

...Media has changed people’s perception about different kinds of ideologies. One of the most powerful visual media that shapes our society is advertisement. It is almost inevitable to ignore advertisements and attempt to remain unaffected, butadvertisements both reflect and shape society norms. Compare to when society was more restricted by conservative regulations, such as Hayes Law, increasing numbers of advertisements in western culture allow queer people to represent in ways that are inclusive and respectful. Many companies have chosen to target on homosexual people who comprised a large potential market. Companies provide positive queer images in exchange for queer people’s good will and support. An example is Expedia’s Find Your Understanding, an ad released on Oct 2nd, has gained more than 2.2 million views. It is a moving tale told by Artie Goldstein, a retired business owner who described his emotion and reaction while traveling to his daughter’s, Vickie’s marriage with another woman. “That startled me. I told her, this is not the dream I have for my daughter,” said Artie when his daughter first asked his permission for marrying another woman. His arrival at his daughter’s wedding and witnessing how happy his daughter is were the turning points. “ You come to terms with it and say this is the nature order of things in your life, and it is supposed to be this way,” he said. His apprehension turned into true acceptance. I decided to pick this video as my analysis...

...Current Business Research Project Paper There are many different ways to conduct research in business. One of the forms that will be written about here is qualitative research. The paper will be written on the following paper Define the business research and its purpose This paper shows the qualitative research on international trade and development. It shows the development of sales strategies in the international environment. It also shows what social and cultural differences occur when creating a sales strategy in a foreign environment. It also shows how difficult to conduct business in other countries, due to the ethical, cultural and religious values of other countries. Explain the Business Problems under Investigation The problem seen in the paper is developing business in other countries. This is mainly due to the development of international trade. The development of business in foreign countries is made by cross cultural, economic and geographical differences. These differences tell us that individuals in other countries will react differently to those here in the United States of America. Describe the Data Collection methods used in the Research Project One of the research methods in this paper is an in depth interview. This type of research is different from a focus group because it is a one on one interview. So the information gathered is more in depth and more information can be gathered. The number of interviews can be small or large. The interviewee...

...comments. Hopefully this will assist in preparing for the second individual assignment and the final exam. 1. Literature review (objectives and motives) Satisfactory critique Critique: Jones and Solomon (2010) do not explicitly mention the aim of their research, but rather refer to the nature of the research. This is not seen as a weak point as the authors make use of grounded theory in their study. The authors do however identify their motivation of conducting this research quite well by stating: “However, to our knowledge, there has been little research (...)” (pp. 21). Furthermore, the authors link their motives to prior research by stating that there has been a lack of interview-based work in prior research (Ball et al, 2000; Deegan et al, 2006; O’Dwyer and Owen, 2005). I do see this link as a strong point in contrast to the objective of this article. The objective of this article is not clearly formulated. The authors mention: “We address the fundamental question on (...)” (p.21). However, immediately afterwards they state: “In addition, we shed light on several important questions such as (...)” (p.21). These additions are not related to previously identified questions by the authors but to the themes that derived from the interviews in this study. Therefore, in my opinion this cannot be seen as an explicit objective of the article and the authors could have stated this sentence in a different context regarding the themes derived which relates to the fundamental question being...
