Compare the culture you researched and your own cultural traditions, values, and beliefs

In this assignment, you will research and develop a presentation about the culture of a particular ethnic group different from your own (for example, Asian, Euro-American, Scandinavian, African American, Latin American, or Anglo-Saxon) as related to communication. This will help you increase your awareness of your own perspectives and the limitations of your perspectives. You will gain a better understanding of the link between culture and gender and how both impact communication.

Using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, research the culture you have chosen. Prepare a presentation with detailed speaker’s notes and use scholarly resources for support. Use the speaker’s notes area for explanatory comments and citation of sources.

In your presentation, include the following sections:

  • Introduction to the culture
  • Background information (history, government, cultural traditions [practices], health care practices, values, beliefs, etc.)
  • An overview of gender roles in the selected culture
  • Observations and analysis of the culture that distinguish the culture as unique
  • A discussion of how what you have learned about the culture you researched has impacted your general view about communicating with others different from yourself
  • A comparison of the culture you researched and your own cultural traditions, values, and beliefs
  • Conclusions and recommendations of how to “bridge the communication gap” between the culture you researched and your own
  • References

Develop a 10 to 15-slide presentation in PowerPoint format. Apply APA standards for writing style to your work. Be sure to cite your sources using APA standards and include a separate slide(s) with a complete reference list of any resources used in your research.

Explain how general systems theory and Boulding’s hierarchy of systems might inform the executive leaderships’ understanding of its organization’s and leadership/management’s thinking.

Assignment Length: 2–3 pages

The executive leadership of an organization has hired your firm to work with them; largely for your firm’s ability to support recommendations made with current research on systems and leadership management and theory. The client would like your firm to model and describe their organization based on recent developments in both systems and leadership management and theory.

The notion of tipping points is related to systems as that point in which a system changes from one state to another. While there is a mathematical description for a tipping point, it is out of scope for this class. Instead, consider a tipping point as simply a break from the current state of a system to a new state. For example, if a company were to be acquired by another company, it would experience a tipping point. If a company were to radically downscale, then it would experience another tipping point. Tipping points are a common feature of systems, such as ecological systems, climate systems, insect colonies, and human social systems.
