Thomas Balmes’ documentary, Babies, juxtaposes the early development of individuals against the influences and ideologies imparted by the society.

Before watching Babies: A Documentary I knew that all cultures worldwide had many differences and similarities. After watching this documentary I feel as if I was given a different insight on culture differences pertaining to child rearing practices and child development around the world. This film shows how the babies develop in terms of physical, social, emotional and cognitive skills. In the documentary you can see the resources that each of these four babies have access to and how…
uncertainty avoidance isn’t clear, but I believe that because its such a collective culture the vagueness is common but it barley effects the society. With Mongolia I feel that everything is more well defined. When we saw the mom she made it clear to he child about what the child was doing wrong. The power distance between the cultures are very clear. Mongolia and Namibia have a smaller power distance because they are smaller groups that work hard in order to gain power. With Japan and San…
between America and Mongolia was significant; there were barely any similarities. I used to live downtown of UlaanBaatar but was now living in a small suburban neighborhood in Missouri. I no longer could go outside and walk to a store. When I looked out the windows, I no longer saw the lights and the cars. Now, a single car passed at night every ten minutes. I no longer lived in a giant apartment with elevators that's stopped working after 22:00. Everyone I knew was back in Mongolia. Besides our…

To briefly discuss about the speaker’s education, he finished his undergraduate degree in History and is currently an MBA candidate at the Carlson School of Management with a particular focus on supply chain management. One of the reasons he decided to join the Carlson School of Management to pursue a graduate degree is to seek more career opportunities as…
Globalization of economies has negatively affected individuals by creating more inequality and by failing to reduce poverty. The environment has also faced a negative impact because many developed countries are still heavily reliant on fossil-fuels and their production of greenhouse gases keeps rising. Additionally, the United States outsources much of its industrial sector to China whose population is quickly growing which has led to large concentrated areas of pollution emission. When…
Rituals and practices among different Shaman tribes, often vary tremendously in some respects, but they maintain similar functions and purposes throughout. Even if there are different methods of magical healing between Shaman groups, for example, they both typically have the same end goal that the shaman is supposed to perform. These tribal groups often seem to have a connection to the dead and use symbolic figures, that hold high value in their society to connect with the dead and to heal those…
