    The Collision Of Cultures

    Beginning in the late 1400s, the contact between the Europeans and the Native Americans has claimed to shape the time period into an era called the Collision of Cultures. This time period experienced drastic changes amongst these two groups, which primarily were not supposed to be as life changing. Everyone in America and Europe were completely unaware of the existence of each other—much less aware of how to interact and get along with one other first hand. The Collision of Cultures seemed to be inevitable while the Europeans constantly searched for bigger and more beneficial ways to better themselves. On the other hand, the Native Americans were settled in their own ways and they seemed content until the Europeans came along.…

    Culture In The Middle Ages

Deal & Kennedy’s (1982) phrase ‘the way we do things round here’ a definition that might more properly describe ‘culture’, but more fully defined by Hofstede (1991, p.262) as ‘the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one organization from another’. Culture cannot be precisely seen, but can sensed and felt. Culture provides guidance to behaviors…

In the writer’s point of view, strong culture has positive impacts on the organisation because when employees identify, accept, appreciate and commit to that culture, they tend to work more sufficiently and effectively to attain organisational goals. According to Shahzad, Luqman, Khan and Shabbir (2012, p.981), strong culture is considered as a force in order to enhance the performance, motivation, and dedication of the employees.…
