your ethical framework

/in /by

Based on your critique and comparison of various ethical models throughout the semester, especially in Journals 6 and 11, discuss the ethical model that best represents your approach to solving ethical problems. Your model should be tailored to your own beliefs and values.

Do you think that your model will be helpful as you face different types of ethical issues (e.g. with supervisors, employees, peers, customers/clients; external stakeholders)? Is there any type of issue for which your model might not be a resource for you?

Culture has many different meanings anywhere from historical perspectives to behavioral perspectives to different traditions that have been passed down from generations to generations.

Levi Strauss was interested in structuralism which he defined as “the search for unusual harmonies” (pg 1 Jandt). “There are many more human cultures than human races”, human cultures are counted by the thousands and human races are divided up by units.

The collaboration between cultures is trying to compare the old world with the new world. “No society is intrinsically cumulative. Cumulative history is the way of life of cultures and how they get a long together. All cultural contributions are divided into two groups; isolated acquisitions or features, the features are important but at the same time they are limited. The second group is systemized contributions which is how each society has chosen to express human aspirations. According to Strauss the true contribution of a culture is its difference from others.

Geert Hostede looks at business cultures and states that culture may be divided into four categories symbols, heroes, rituals and values. “Understanding people means understanding their background from which their present and future behavior can be predicted”. There are also four national cultural differences: 1.power distance-the population from equal to extremely unequal 2. Individualism -people have learned to act as individuals rather than in a group 3.masculinity- assertiveness or masculine values prevail over the feminine ones 4.uncertainty avoidance- people in a country prefer structured over unstructured situations.

Must use Chicago style citing and the textbook:  Jandt, Fred E. (editor) Intercultural Communication: A Global Reader. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage. 2004 Part I Cultural Values

Our culture is something that has been ingrained in us from an early age, and is largely unconscious. Levi-Strauss says that while certain biological traits were selected for us in the beginning of evolution, as soon as culture came into being, those biological traits were influenced by the dynamics of culture (Jandt, p. 6). Essentially, we are not able to separate ourselves from culture, and to do so would be to ruin what is wonderful and unique about each culture. According to Hofstede, all cultures have their processes, and their values. While things like symbols and rituals in a culture vary greatly, he says; “Values represent the deepest level of culture. (Jandt, p. 9)”

Because culture is deeply ingrained in us, all of the variants that Levi-Strauss and Hofstede discussed must be taken in account when dealing with another culture. Levi-Strauss warns that cultural differences are strong, and should remain strong, but that too close of an interaction between cultures will cause a clash (Jandt, p. 7). When dealing with someone from another culture we need to be respectful of where they are coming from, rather than trying to force them or ourselves to conform to alien social values. Being aware of the five dimensions that Hofstede uses to classify broad cultural differences can help us to understand where our differences lie so that we don’t become frustrated in communication. Understanding that the values that are being expressed in communications from another culture are not contrary, but rather ingrained, can help us to understand and work with someone much better. Conversely, if we are mindful of the cultural values that are guiding someone from another culture, we can better understand responses that might at first seem unreasonable to us. By communicating our needs and values to someone from another culture in a way that they can find relevant, we are better able to make our point clearly and effectively.

Choose a grammar lesson from the St. Martin’s Handbook (it can be anything from Part Eight – Part Twelve) that you might struggle with. It might be fragments, run-on sentences, semicolons, etc.

Once you’ve chosen your lesson, then teach this lesson to the class in this discussion! The best way to learn something is to teach it, so here is your opportunity!

I would like this to come from your own wording, not simply copying from the textbook. You might add your own personal flare to it – be creative and have fun 🙂

Advertising Discussion, communications homework help

/in /by

Question: An advertising agency is hired to create a campaign to sell new, high-end gas station coffee drinks to two audiences: middle-aged professionals and college students. How might the campaign differ based on audience values, knowledge, etc.? Commercials? Music? Graphics? Language?

responses: 1.Coffee is the one of popular in the world that everybody like to drink from young to old. For the value, i have to say this is the quite cheap drink which people can buy without  thinking cause it help people stay focus on their work in the morning.  For the knowledge, college student maybe not have much because they just like which one is sweat, which want have cream or they like mix some cream. They can easy try some one new without thinking as long as that drink sweat and have sugar. The middle-age total different, they just like the classic: black coffee, cappuccino, espresso cause they concern about their health, they like the one less sugar. For commercials, the young really like commercial have a lot of graphic, something weird which other shop not have. They like colorful with pop, rap music in the shop everything make to the youth. While the old like peace, quiet, they like to enjoy a cup of coffee in a shop which is not noisy with classic, soft music. They not like color much everything they one just a place can enjoy life. Beside that, quality is the thing middle-aged they care, each country have a different coffee. Its mean their flavor different too so each old people have other way to drink coffee. The language not important like quality, its just a name which help people remember the drink. The name not need too complicated just simple word but they can remember forever like espresso basic coffee.

2. Advertising to these two different audiences could present the need for much different approaches. The values of middle-aged professionals usually differ a lot from those of college students. A college student may not find coffee as important as the middle-aged professional or they might rather have the cheapest option while the professional could afford the best of the best. Their knowledge of other coffee products and energy boosters could also play a big role in how the advertisement campaign should go. It may be easier to advertise to the college student since they probably aren’t as knowledgeable as the professional about coffee products. The campaign could be more focused on grabbing the college students’ attention with a funny dialogue or situation but then may have to delve a little deeper for the middle-aged professional who may prefer more information and benefits. The campaign would need to advertise using music, graphics, and language that appeals to each separate audience since what they like and prefer may be very different.

3.In order to meet the actual demands of the customers, we should tailor the specific services and products for different customer needs. Accordingly, different advertising campaigns should be prepared. As for middle-aged professionals, they would like to prefer the advertisement with clear and concise language and specific description of the products and services. Middle-aged professionals pay more attention to the language and direct graphics. They are more likely to be vulnerable to the graphic and descriptive advertisements. They will be attracted by personalized and novel things, as they are more reasonable about their specific needs. Therefore, I think an interesting and novel commercial graphic can be an effective advertisement for the middle-aged professionals. In addition, pop music is effective. We can arrange our product description in the music lyrics. For this, the description for the products can be remembered by most middle age people with the popularity of the commercial music song.

Assignment Steps

Resources: National Bureau of Economic Research; Principles of Macroeconomics: Ch. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7

Scenario: Your organization’s CEO is concerned that members of the strategic planning committee are not familiar with current economic thought and principles. The CEO has assigned you the task of developing a report to introduce some of these thoughts and principles.

Develop a 1,050-word report to the members of the strategic planning committee explaining the following information:

  • How economists are both scientists and policymakers and what principles society uses to allocate its scarce resources.
  • Using the circular flow model, explain the flow of money and goods in an economy.
  • How the economy coordinates society’s independent economic actors.
  • A country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and how it is defined and calculated.

Sandra Janoff and Marvin Weisbord are the original developers of the Future Search method and are the founders of the Future Search Network. Corporations pay a lot of money for their services, but fortunately they have a few videos up on YouTube so you can get a taste of what kind of material they go through when giving a seminar. Find some videos from one or both of them and share the link to the video that you find the most useful.

Harrison Owen is the developer of Open Space Technology. He also has a few videos up on YouTube as well. Take a look at some of his videos and share the link to one that you found to be the most useful.

Answer the following questions concerning the videos on Future Search and Open Space:

  1. Did the videos help you understand any of the concepts from the background readings? Be specific as to what concepts were covered in the videos that were also covered in the readings.
  2. Was the video well organized and presented? Based on the video, are you surprised that Weisbord, Janoff, and Owen are successful consultants?
