Final Reflection

In this class I really enjoyed some topics, such as the Life stages and the Cultural Shock Stages, because both of them can get to affect a person's personality in a certain way. I consider that topics such as equity and cultural awareness are crucial for a person when socializing with other people. I consider that one of my favourite entries was the collage about language beacuse in that way I was able to show how language isn´t only spoken or written, but it can also be physical or painted.
Finally I believe that this blog was fun to do because I got to use diffrent tools and programs that I haven't used before such as soundcloud and pixton.

WRITTING 2: BUSINESS REPORT

Global-Tech antidiscrimination policies

Introduction

The intention of this report is to present the intended course of action concerning our four proposals of inclusive policies for the recruitment, hiring and everyday activities in the company in order to avoid any type of discrimination.

Gender discrimination

No one would be discriminated because of gender, meaning this that the company will be objective and will only make decisions according to the person’s abilities and skills.

Age discrimination

There would be no differences between employees from different generations and ages. In order to promote a healthy relationship among the personnel, an annual integration activity will be held making the employees work in teams with people from different generations.

Schedules and permissions

Employees will work no more than 8 to 10 hours a day. The policy also sets that single mothers will have certain flexibility with their schedules in case they need to take care of their children.

Training

Every six months the personnel will have to attend to several courses in order to have everyone qualified to keep doing their job.

Conclusion

In conclusion our intention is to avoid any type of discrimination towards any of the company’s employees or people that are related to it.

I enjoyed writting this essay beacause antidiscrimination and equity are both topics that I consider very interestng and very important for our actual society.

I consider that equity and antidiscrimination policies and rules are not only important in the workplace , but it are also of vital importance in our day to day activities.

WRITTING 1: OPINION ESSAY

National identity: helping the country to progress

Since the beginning of history, mankind has had the need to satisfy a sense of belonging to a place, culture and community, this sense of belonging is commonly known as national identity. By definition, national identity is “a sense of a nation as a cohesive whole, as represented by distinctive traditions, culture, and language”. National identity is how people interact and relate to others. People who share a strong national identity are likely to also have similar thinking and as a result, this would help a country to develop and progress.

To my mind, national identity is a crucial factor for a country’s progress and development; this is due to the fact that by sharing the same mind set and ideology the country would be modernized in a quicker way and it also could boost the economy in a shorter period.

I consider that an example of national identity helping a country’s progress that should be highlighted is when Germany recovered very quickly from the World War I due to the fact that, by inspiring the people and making them have the same goal and mentality, the Germans adopted a strong national identity which motivated them to work and improve the conditions in which their country was.

            

In conclusion, national identity is very important for a country, as it affects the stability and relationships among citizens. For a country with a strong national identity it would be much easier to have a quicker and better growth.
