to be sincere after much contemplation of social struggles, which led to acceptance of the collision of my cultures. Furthermore, this leads to a division within my personality. I identify with Gloria Anzaldua’s explanation of the tolerance for ambiguity as a tolerance for contradictions in “La Consencia de la Mestiza.” She stated, “She learns to juggle cultures.

What is your opinion of the manner in which Anna Håkansson prepared for her business trip? Could she have done a better job here? If so, how? In my opinion, Anna’s preparation was a good jumping off point but was inadequate. While her comparison of Bahrain and Sweden using Hofstede’s cultural dimensions (Steers, 2013) and her study of the structure of Arab extended families and the role this family structure plays in the decision-making process was a good start, she failed to study up on the…

I am pleased to reflect on my experience this semester in Mbite course. I feel that it was a successful class which taught me a lot regarding how to function in a team and as an individual. Personally, I do enjoy classes and it's a challenge to me. I have always been one to persevere through difficult situations and challenge myself by tackling complex projects. If I am confronted with a category that doesn’t satisfy my intellectual standards I have a habit of making things harder than they have…
