I need someone of a race different than African American or Caucasian  who does not have an American culture to answer interview questions because it has to be of a different race then mines and the person must have come from a culture outside of America. Question answered need to equal out to  500-words reflection paper . Start with a brief
synopsis as if I interviewed you face to face.

Here is the assignment with the interview questions.

For journal 3, you need to discover what your interaction
partner of  a different race thinks about American culture and the way we communicate.  

What is good/bad?  What is interesting? What is weird?  What is hard to deal with?  What are Americans like?  Do we say what we mean? What do we do and say
that is good/bad/weird/sad/etc.?  What
would you change about us Americans?

The paper need to be a
minimum of 1,800 words about Hispanic culture and cite at least 8 different sources.  You must have at least 2 scholarly article
citations and at least 2 citations from books and/or our textbook.  Probably the rest will be web sources, though
they can certainly consist of other scholarly articles or books.  If 1800 words is not met (not including
title, references page, etc.), 0 points will be earned on the paper.

In the paper, present the
culture and give necessary background information.  This section should be less than one
quarter of the paper, but needs to let the reader know what the culture is,
where it is located, who the people are (any tribal or micro cultural
qualities), what language(s) is used, relevant history of the culture, and the
most significant qualities of the culture. 

The next section, at
least half the paper, will be about the characteristics of the culture and
its elements and how they are transformed into communication choices in the
culture.  You may choose to deal with
many of the culture characteristics, contexts, values, and codes that we have
talked about in class, but you may also specialize on just a couple of
characteristics (collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, etc.) or
values (family, nature, etc.) Describe the relevant cultural characteristics
and then demonstrate their communication counterparts in terms of roles, and
verbal and nonverbal code evidence. 
Pictures, stories, experiences, and related artifacts could be very
useful in presenting the communication counterparts to the characteristics of
the culture.  All of this is most
efficiently organized to flow with the paper’s final section.

The last section, more
than one quarter of the paper, consists of your comparing and contrasting
the culture under study with your own. 
What are the most striking similarities and differences in terms of the
communication and meaning process between the two cultures?  Where will the two cultures probably be able
to communication smoothly with the fewest problems in terms of
misinterpretations? (There may actually be no such situations.)  Conversely, where might the problems
be?  What will one culture do or assume
that will be quite different, hurtful, and insulting to the other?  From these analyses what do people in your
culture need to be careful about and how do they need to change so as to get
the most from intercultural communication with the culture you have presented?

In terms of citations, when
a source is cited, it must include either the page number (in the case of paper
sources) or the paragraph number (in the case of a web pager) where the
relevant information came from.  Further,
no more than 15% of the paper can be
verbatim material from other sources, and all of this must be appropriately
quoted.  Otherwise, the paper will earn
“0” points.

For this final paper, the
grading rubric will be as follows.  In
most cases, the points awarded are variable depending on the quality of the
material presented:

· 
The paper is 1800 words or more in length, not including References
Page, Title Page, or abstract – If not, then 0 points will be earned on
this paper

The department chain you work for has had numerous complaints about slow customer service. Your colleague, a sales manager, informs you that this happened at a previous store she worked for, and it was cleared up by hiring more sales representatives. Should you take her advice? Why not? What techniques can you use in evaluating the problem? 

Here’s the answer I want you to write a essay.

The advice should not be taken, as it is a rush to judgment, which could mean that the wrong solution is used, wasting time and resources. You should ask the colleague to employ critical thinking. Critical thinking is sustained suspension of judgment with an awareness of multiple perspectives and alternatives. It involves at least four elements:

• Maintaining doubt and suspending judgment
• Being aware of different perspectives
• Testing alternatives and letting experience guide
• Being aware of organizational and personal limitations

Patrolling the Borders

These discussion boards have been designed to explore controversial topics. Often these debates have the potential to become heated.  In the act of creating ideas, heat can be a good thing, but not at the expense of hurt feelings or frustration.  Remember that any argument asks that we change something about ourselves.  If we are asking our readers to change, we need to be civil about it. Likewise, when we are challenged by others with a different opinion, we need to keep an open mind. Remember, we are not changing the world here, only examining it.

Some important rules to follow: 

1. You may not attack other people or their ideas in this course.  To do so may result in failure of the assignment. You may, however, disagree with the ideas of others, but do so in a constructive manner. (e.g. “I don’t agree with your post.  I think instead that . . . ” NOT “That’s a dumb way of looking at this.”  Debate in academia is important, but let’s all be adults here.

2. Ask open-ended questions (e. g. “What if we thought about things this way?”), and avoid making statements meant to be absolute or closed-ended questions (“There is no other way to think about this,” or “Do you agree with me?”).

3. Remember to consider the lessons we’ve worked on throughout the rest of the class.  Rather than simply reacting to the readings and the responses of your classmates, think about the arguments being made. Really consider the effectiveness of these arguments.

Go to the EBSCOhost database, find and read the following articles, then, using the questions below as a guide, write a 75-100 word response about the issue being discussed. Next, please take the time to respond to your classmates.

Read

Go to the resources tab and use the EBSCOhost link to search for the following articles:

1. Politzer, M. (2007). It’s our job to stop that dream. Reason, 38(11), 40-49.
2. Silko, L. (1994). The border patrol state. (Cover story). Nation, 255(12), 412-416

Respond 

It is easy to think about the illegal alien issue as a non-human problem, but every day there are plenty of good, hard-working, and otherwise law abiding people illegally crossing America’s borders just looking for a better way to support their families, to be safe in their communities, and to have better opportunities for themselves and for their children.  Of course, there are also plenty of people illegally crossing America’a borders who have less than noble intentions.

1. After reading the above articles, how has your impression of this issue changed?
2. How have our efforts at controlling the border backfired? How have they been successful? 
3. Of all of the plans to thwart the illegal problem presented by our various leaders, what seems to be the more logical plan? Why? 
4. As a nation built of immigrants, do we truly have a right to prevent other hard-working, industrious people from migrating to our nation? If so, how do we choose who deserves access and who should be denied a place in American society?
