This would confirm the claim in Barna's (1994) text that "stereotypes are stumbling blocks for communicators because they interfere with objective viewing of stimuli." (Barna, 341) for the mortgage company leadership, a failure to recognize and accommodate the cultural distinctions of the new arrivals while simultaneously banishing presumptions about personal ability, company value or receptiveness would constitute a communication shortcoming forged on the acceptance of stereotype
While a few players have prospered by turning the environmental turmoil to their advantage, many are merely surviving -- struggling to adjust to complex, often contradictory demands." (Bartlett & Ghoshal, 3) This is a condition which suggests some shortcoming in understanding and applying the lessons of Hofstede's Dimensions theory
A prominent case, which exemplified the sometimes institutionalized presence of inappropriate sexuality in the workplace, came to light when "eight women and one man were fired from a North Mankato (MN) women's shelter because (allegedly) they refused to fit into the sexually charged atmosphere created by a few staff members." (Caera, 1) the clarity of motives for their collective dismissal aligned the decision directly with Title VII, which caused courts to find irrefutably in favor of the plaintiffs
As Gudykunst explains, "anxiety and uncertainty are the basic causes of all communication failure in intercultural situations."(Griffin, 410) Thus, it is not specifically the compensatory devices, such as nonverbal culture-affiliate identifiers or concerted verbal reciprocity, which are the cause of the failed intercultural communication attempts
Here, his theory denotes that "individualism-collectivism describes the degree to which a culture relies on and has allegiance to the self or the group." (Hofstede, 2) in this instance, the individualism accentuated in Western culture combines with the subject's absence of cultural sensitivity to create a negative cultural interaction with a culture that is far more collectivist
Moreover, as our reading on the subject of significantly cultural divergent nations such as China suggests, "the type of work goals whose pursuit is encouraged and rewarded depend in part on the prevailing cultural value emphasized in society." (Jaw et al
This is to indicate that "many organisations have a clear outline of the expatriates' costs but a vague or unclear picture of their related return on investments." (Schiuma, 1) the result is that procedural adjustments rarely account for new opportunities in terms of the organization's versatility and diversity of perspective, instead focusing on what our research finds is the more burdensome process of taking on the integration of a new managerial culture
Indeed, as our reading has indicated, "dealing with oppressive systems from the underside, regardless of the strategy, is physically and psychologically taxing." (Tatum, 10) the unfair degree of this taxation levied upon women is, outside of the realm of legislation, a problem for organizational management
As the Tery source indicates, "different cultures have different ideas about leadership." (Terry, 62) to this extent, the path to success may genuinely constitute different characteristics according to different cultures, even if many of the same end goals such as a financial security or a sense of self-worth remain constant across cultural borders
The claim that sexual harassment operates on the basis of an intent to subjugate the ascendancy of women is underscored by the resonant male desire "that a woman's appearance and actions should conform to cultural views of femininity." (Wood, 227) the result is a situation in which women, due to an unfortunately prevalent organizational cultural proclivity toward a bevy of institutional obstacles thereto, may find themselves either unable or unwilling, due to threats of intimidation or the prospects of a lost job, to properly defend their own legal rights against sexual harassment
At the inception of the women-in-the-workplace initiative at the threshold of the 1970s, "women in upper-level positions had begun to experience the strains of being the "only" women, or tokens, in male-dominated systems." (Zane, 17) Male management, itself resistant to the balanced integration of women, has often formed a sort of "boy's club" in which even those women who have achieved workplace success are still notably excluded from their due role in organizational matters
In this way we are not condemning any religion and showing that to our students that one religion is better than the other, but in fact we are talking about what makes their life so rich and whole. (Palmer, P
Giving should also be a part of their personality and it is the parent's job to model it. (Rigby, J
In this way the child will want to adapt to the right rather than avoid it. (Farber, A, 1995

Supervisors are "members of the company that they help to run. Consequently, they cannot join unions because, if the company is to be run effectively, shareholders need managers with undivided loyalty" (Sherk & O'Donnell 2009)
The purpose of learning is to concentrate on the manner in which to apply a drug in representative patients to render a suitable benefit of risk profile possible while the objective of confirming is to establish, in a large and representative patient group, that an acceptable benefit/risk profile is obtained.

¶ … Teacher With Respect to Social Order The Teacher's Role in Defining Social Order -- With Power Comes Responsibility In primitive human societies children were socialized into their communities through a natural process of encountering and relating to adults in their culture (Einstein in Rooney, 2006; Russell, 1961)
Specifically, American social values with respect to civil rights, (especially in connection with race and ethnicity) have changed radically with racial and ethnic equality and mutual respect having been elevated to the highest level of priority in society. Teachers play a tremendous role in promoting those values within education (Feldman, 2005)
In modern society, a substantial portion of the early socialization process takes place in the context of formal education, elevating teachers automatically into positions of power and authority both generally and also with respect to the way that young students develop perceptions about various aspects of society, including the social order (Einstein in Rooney, 2006; Russell, 1961). In that regard, teachers may often be the most direct influence, second only to parents, on the way that children learn to view and think about their society (Mooney, 2005; Sagan, 1997)
