Diversity People Across All Nations

Diversity

People across all nations have their own sets of beliefs and cultures. These beliefs and cultures affect they way people talk, move and react on different things or events. These beliefs and cultures can also affect one's perception towards jobs and other career and/or business-related aspects. Needless to say, difference in cultures can also affect the result of business negotiations. One best example for this is by comparing two country's business cultures and practices.

Difference in country will mean difference in culture and traditions. Among the most noted differences between countries are language difference, variations in philosophies, beliefs and cultures and differences in business etiquettes and cultures (Schuler, 2001). but, however different the cultures may be, or however diverse the cultures of the workforce are, there is one proven solution that may eliminate any possible problems due to cultural differences among people in the workplace - and that is having an open and good flow of communication to and from the manager and the subordinates. Communication will help alleviate whatever problems there may be. To reiterate, the success for the collaboration of two companies from different regions with different business practices lies in the proper communication. Asking questions, openly suggesting the ideas and perspectives of the two sides and transparency among the thoughts and opinions should be established so that the barriers to differences in business cultures will be eliminated.

2. There is no problem with a woman aspiring to become a president. In today's time and age, women empowerment is already an accepted phenomenon. People have already recognized the capabilities of women to lead a country and to hold the most powerful position of any land. In fact, there have been a number of women who have proven themselves capable of leading the country. In the Philippines, there was former president Corazon Aquino and the current president Gloria-Macapagal Arroyo who both have proven that they can be in control and bring back the glory to the country. Other countries that have had a woman president as are: India, Chile, Liberia, Finland, Panama, Sri Lanka and Ireland.

Hence, it is already proven that any woman has a chance of becoming a president if she can prove that she is credible and capable of doing so. Women are perceived as an equal ally of men nowadays. They are not anymore the weaker sex. They have already gained the respect and trust by the populace - men and women, young and adults.
