As an independent ombudsman representing the American Red Cross to Congress, there are a few areas I would advise Congress to increase regulations to address ethical issues in business at the systemic level. Firstly, I would suggest mandating regular meetings with federal, state, and local community stakeholders. Open forums of communication between primary stakeholders should help alleviate concerns and start to rebuild trust between the various entities. If the ARC is to be a part of the…

Vermeer’s opinion, it would be impossible to translate cultural elements. Translation is considered a platform for communication between people of different cultures. As pointed out by Gerding-Salas (2000: 1), "the main aim of translation is to serve as a cross-cultural bilingual communication vehicle among peoples." Novelists rely on their cultural background when they write a novel, and readers of translated novels learn a lot about the culture of the society which has produced the novel. It…

Cultural competency for an organization means, “creating practices and policies that will make services more accessible to diverse populations, and that provide for appropriate and effective services in cross-cultural situations” (Olsen, Bhattacharya & Scharf).

Different cultures have different ideologies, gender views, and beliefs in politics. If a company does not do intense research about a country’s cultural views, then it is most likely that there will be misguided information which “can lead to friction in cross border interactions, lost sales, and a host of other serious problems that may jeopardize competitiveness” (Neeley, T., & Kaplan, R. S, pg. 70, 2014). In addition to that, lack of cultural understanding can lead to the people of the…

Modern medical technology and procedures save lives everyday. Some of the modern medical practices that we use today started in the Civil War. In a modern war, the majority of American soldiers will die due to enemy fire. Over two-thirds of the soldiers that died in the Civil War perished outside of the battlefield.

tour. The tour started in the sports facility, making our way through locker rooms and training facilities for athletes from various sports. We covered nursing, science, mathematics, business and many more. Being an outgoing person, I met most of the cross country team, got along instantly and even discussed what path would be best for me with one of the athletes.
