In fact, studies have shown that beliefs concerning leadership are perceived as associated with the cultural beliefs and values, and the social context or cultural background of the perceiver (Chin, 2013). Good leadership will, therefore, be defined differently as cultural backgrounds change. The leaders from these minority groups ...

The aspect of diversity is quite relevant in any profession with regards to analyzing, understanding and accommodation various needs, personalities, culture, attitudes and many more factors present in the social environment.

In the court systems, various felonies are penalized following the court's guidelines. There are a variety of particulars that go into a sentencing pronouncement. An individual who commits a financial fraud may go to jail for a longer period, compared to someone who commits murder, as is the case of Bernard Madoff, who went to jail for 150 years for committing financial crime and Karla Homolka was sentenced to 12 years in prison for murder. It is, however, clear that an extensive range of verdicts are not necessarily rational to the victims or the scam culprits. This paper looks ...

The design of a new product should always seek to achieve high quality. However, quality is a matter of perception and thus depends on the expectations created by said product. If a company decides to introduce to the market a mobile phone with a lifespan that is not expected to surpass 18 months, the ethical interrogations of this approach are related to how candid the company is towards its target customers. Does the marketing campaign for this mobile phone mention it is not designed to be long lasting? If so, then customers who purchase this phone will have done ...

The Effects of Post-Modernism on the ‘Raced Bodies’

Post-Modernism is the counterpart of the modernist ideals both in the philosophy and aesthetic preferences. Modernism existed before the beginning of the Second World War and this period primarily focused on the preservation of one’s culture through rejection of outside influences that might alter the cultural values. For instance, Sandler argued that there is a greater contrast between post-modernism and modernism in a sense that can be viewed from a philosophical point-of-view and aesthetic tastes. “Post-modernism has rejected modernism’s purity and has instead welcomed impurity” (Sandler 1980, p. 346). Another scholar named Irvine (2004/2014) also supported this ...

Eldercare

Growing age comes with many shortcomings such as inclusion in the elderly group. It depends upon the cultural and family morals as elderlies are the family’s responsibilities and should be kept within the extended family home.

In a neoliberal, globalized world, no country can exist on its ‘own’. In some way or the other every country is interlinked with the rest of the world be it its economy, its culture or politics.

For example, physical attributes such as nationality, religion, and language also define the term race in the American society (Rosenblatt 18).

Introduction

Racial profiling is the targeting of a particular race for a particular crime. The practice was rampant from the time before the Civil War. African-Americans frisked by police from the street irrespective of their status (free or enslaved) were a common practice. The punishments for criminals differed as per color of the skin until the end of the crack cocaine period. The practice is unwelcome with minority communities since it often results in unfair treatment. An African-American or Hispanic origin civilian has higher chances of police questioning him compared to a Caucasian. In addition, the post-9/11 era comprises of ...

Women in leadership – how successful are women in this day and age?

While various definitions of a leader do not mention the issue of gender anywhere, research show that leadership has been dominated by the male gender in the past. However, evidence show a modern female can make a good leaders just like his male counterpart; or even better. For example, studies conducted in education institutions in the past ...

The role of the government in the current society has become so huge, and it is unlikely to come across any society without a form or system or government which oversees its affairs.
