Dealing With Cultural Differences
Native American Native Americans have respect of individual differences among people. Their expressions of this value include staying out of others’ affairs and verbalizing personal thoughts or opinions only when asked. In many cultures, it’s the man makes the decisions for the woman. They are very religious people who work also with tarot reading, and wicca/pagan things. How I would deals with a Native American is to treat them all with respect and treat all of my team members the same. I would encourage them to wear their native clothing of certain days of the week. I would give them the type of responsible as I would give the other members. I believe in treating all employees the same. …show more content…

Islam preaches that there is only one Supreme, Eternal, Infinite and Unparallel entity, Allah (God).

They could have been to war which could bring different aspects to an organization. Military person with 20 or more years has leadership and manager experiences. A retired military person has done many other jobs that are not posted on their resume. A retired military person comes to an organization with benefits that are carrying over from the military. They also have disabilities that keep them from doing certain types of works. How I would deal with a retired military male is with respect, knowing that he has served more than 20 to this country. I would value his opinion in certain aspects of group meeting. I would use his experiences that he bring from the military to help our group project be successful. The leadership experience that he bring to my group I would depend upon his leadership and guidance to help with our project. I would also be aware of his past history with the different wars that he has been in because he could have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which he could be receiving medication for.

    Summary Of Washington's 'Newburgh Address'

    Before this course, my conception of the roles military officers in society and government had was that they were distinct individuals of a higher moral and ethical caliber. With these values came a voluntary but clear support of their chain of command and mission to defend the citizens of the United States of America. Prior to attending West Point, I observed an awkward separation between members of the armed forced and civilians due to lack of knowledge and familiarity of both worlds. Therefore, while I was aware that…

You, dear reader, may have family and/or friends who actively serve or have served as US military personnel. Maybe you are or have been an active member yourself. If so, your service is admired.…

    Army Military Salute

    To the untrained eye there does not seem to be too many variations between the civilian world and the military world besides the evident like uniforms, stricter standards of living, and traveling. However, to the trained eye one huge difference stands out. That difference is mutual respect. The fact that mutual respect exists, and is demanded is a major difference between the civilian world and the military world. The Army has even come out with an Army Regulation, which is a manual on how to show proper respect and etiquette. The manual covers such things as personal salutes and honors, courtesy visits within the Army, and even Inter Service and Military-Civilian visits all that I think are important things to know as a future officer in the Army.…

    Race And Gender In The Military Essay

    This review focuses on the factors that may lead some to wonder if race and gender play a factor in the military when it comes to leadership and promotion opportunities. It is a known fact that the military is a male dominated organization which tends to define what a person is in order to know how to react towards that person. In total, there are 1,166,434 (85.1%) male active duty members and 203,895 (14.9%) female active duty members. Within those numbers is 238,864 Active Duty Officers of which 199,578 (83.6%) are male and 39,286 (16.4%) are female. Moreover, members who report themselves as White make up the highest percentage of Active Duty Officers (77.6%), while African Americans make up…

    The Cultural Dilemma of Native Americans

    In this painting by George Catlin titled “Assinneboine Chief before and after Civilization” it shows a very proud Assinneboine Chief standing straight and proud. His clothing expresses his Indian culture as he is dressed in leggings and shirt made of mountain goat skin, and finished with a pictured robe of buffalo hide over his right shoulder. Moccasins covered his feet and his tribal headdress decorated his head allowing his long hair to blend with the feathers of his headdress. In his left hand is his long pipe which he would smoke with those with whom he would want to make peace. The background which is painted in a lighter hue then the opposite side of the painting reveals a dirt road which leads to the capitol building in Washington, suggesting that the Chief is traveling to there with peaceful intentions. The only green in the painting is the landscape surrounding the Capitol building. Could this be to show the wealth of those who lived there, to depict that the grass may be greener on the other side?…

    Personality In The Military

    I'll focus on the implications of military experience first. According to the study, military experience is associated with lower levels of agreeableness: a change that can lead to both positive and negative aspects. Very broadly, on the plus side, these recruits are well-suited for life-and-death situations, enhancing their survival on the field and can be prone to future career success. On the flip side, maintaining positive relationships with others may be affected and most likely more challenging. The fact (if otherwise disproven later on) that agreeableness is lower in military could be used as an explanative reason as to why military service may be, for example, linked to high divorce rates, but could also provide a different perspective for fellow civilians that may not fully understand how their comrades changed after military service. However, the fact that it can change personality on a long-term scale also raises some questions on how beneficial this change is. If the society these ex-recruits live in is based on competition, then I believe lower agreeableness levels are a positive change. However, if the society these ex-recruits live in is based more on cooperation (as it would seem when seeing the number of males that choose the civilian aspect of military service), then I would believe that this change actually represent a negative change, possibly leading to a harder and more difficult reintegration into a civilian lifestyle. This could be another area of future research interest: was this personality change beneficial or detrimental on the long-run for these…

    Cultural Differences Between Aliens And Native Americans

    Throughout the first chapter, what I found most interesting were the relationships and differences between the newly arrived aliens and the natives of what is now the United States. The two recognized each other as of the same species, but most of the communication efforts between the two were futile. The language of the new comers differed significantly. They had an oral dialogue and written communication, which the natives understood nothing of. I find it most interesting, because I have ancestors that trace back to both the natives and the new comers.…

    Becoming A Member Of The United States Military

    The United States Military has always been an influential and important part of my life growing up as child. My grandfather was a Marine who fought in the battle of Okinawa during World War II and he has always instilled a deep sense of pride and respect for my country in me. As a child, I dreamt that one day I would have the honor and the opportunity of becoming a member of the United States military and make him proud. Today, I serve in the United States Army as a Non-Commissioned Officer and I have had the pleasure of leading and mentoring junior enlisted soldiers, as well as my peers, for the past ten years. I believe my experience, professionalism, and leadership will be helpful in serving my country as a United States Army Officer.…

    Native American Characteristics

    Native American tribes around rivers and the ocean enjoyed a rich bounty of salmon each year, when the salmon went upstream to lay their eggs. They fished with spears and used inventive traps and nets to catch the fish, however they considered the wilds holy, and never took from them more than they needed. The Native Americans also hunted many kinds of animals that surrounded their tribe's territory, such as deer, bear, and hares. Another noteworthy characteristic of the Native Americans was their rich culture. The Native Americans believed that the animals were spirits, and even though they were hunted and killed, the hunters would thank the animals for providing them with resources. They also believed each person was ascribed to a certain…

    Native American Cultural Pluralism

    Cultural pluralism is the “means valuing and maintaining cultural and linguistic differences within a society” (Tozer, 2013, p. 196). While assimilation is the “process by which diverse cultures—immigrants, racial, ethnic, and linguistic minorities—alter their customs, habits, and languages to allow absorption into a dominant culture, both positive and negative” (Tozer, 2013, p. 196). As the European American expansion to the West began to take root, it was in the best interest of the American Indian to be educated and civilized. As Tozer states “if the Indian couldn’t be eliminated, their Indianess could” (Tozer, 2013, p. 201). It was the American federal government's main focus to wipe out Native American culture and replace it with what…

    Native American Individuality

    This paper addresses a question that for some reason has received relatively less attention of psychologists. The question relates to how do persons who enter an organization with a different cultural mindset deal with the roles and fellow colleagues in work settings (in this case, academic work setting) of a diametrically different mindset. To my knowledge, studies on acculturation too have left this question unanswered, although, their major focus has been on contacts between cultures. It is in this context that I find this study quite welcome. The study focuses on the tribal world view of the Native American academics which is characterized…
