<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have recently read an article
dated June 12, 2012, titled <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Understanding
Cultural Difference at Workplaces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
was written by Jung Bong-soo.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">With a global connection in the
workplace becoming more and more prevalent, it is vital that we at least
consider some of the differences between cultures and how they impact us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, we must each consider how the differences
need to be addressed for ourselves and the roles we maintain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not all roles require the same consideration
be given.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With our worlds becoming more
diverse and more interconnected, we need make ourselves more aware of the
differences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a medical assistant,
global touches may be more limited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
writer of this blog currently works for an international non-profit
organization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Understanding differences
in cultures is quite important to have.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Three points which were brought to
light as important were:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 1in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In Western cultures roles more than age within organizations
are more respected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In other cultures,
it is more about age or other more personal factors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 1in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Language differences have a greater effect on
relationships both personally and in the workplace.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 1in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">·<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">How an individual receives communication is as
important as how it is sent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This writer works in a position
where his manager is 14 years his junior.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In other cultures, this could be difficult to handle when considering
respect issues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Problems could arise in
the older person giving the appropriate respect to their boss.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Difficulties may also be seen in the younger
not being able to give direction to the older employee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the Western culture this is not as big of
an issue any longer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We consider younger
people to give new perspective and ideas and older people to give experience
and historical value to the situation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In our Western culture we give much
credence to being honest with others and we do not necessarily consider
politeness or respect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seems, in many
work places, day to day is more about getting the job done at all cost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Accomplishing work tasks are completing
direct orders as opposed to requests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our
military environment is a prime example.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We have, however, masked the orders in the civilian workplace by
improving our ability to say “please” and “thank you” when making a request of
an employee.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We also need to consider slang and
fad statements which might be fun to use and work well within our culture can
be very offensive in others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They could
make the receiver of the message feel threatened or insulted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We must always consider others in our
communication.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This writer has found these three
points to be important considerations not only because of the global connection
but because of the diverse connection between our cultures within our local physical
environments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether we communicate
well in another language verbally, or not, it is important to understand that
many of the foreign cultures show a different respect than in the Western
culture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Western culture tends to say be
honest and forthright, regardless of how blunt we have to be or what the
relationship is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is important to be aware of the
cultures we touch, however, each job should give understanding regarding
whether cultural research is necessary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In my current role, it is minimal but necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></div>Larryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09597115508662139221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13978322.post-2982672790863037652011-01-15T14:41:00.003-06:002011-01-15T14:46:23.744-06:00Will Miss Lola<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7644biDt5a81tDo-NeoN5DjbYxB4_SyJ8t0I-WIkQPTZj0nQ99WJjiLKgayd_cxP3D972YQssmoqooGf3K2Dl6QdxNUDv9bzqOdD3gVFaQC1Et0LIOgxyudqPh5kSu35oXlGjeA/s1600/Christmastime+Lola%252C+Lillie+and+Lexie+076.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562516824785868786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7644biDt5a81tDo-NeoN5DjbYxB4_SyJ8t0I-WIkQPTZj0nQ99WJjiLKgayd_cxP3D972YQssmoqooGf3K2Dl6QdxNUDv9bzqOdD3gVFaQC1Et0LIOgxyudqPh5kSu35oXlGjeA/s320/Christmastime+Lola%252C+Lillie+and+Lexie+076.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhbI0fhHsQJSenPM7sii3I7fRNMjLAOFpvgBCIlmhSpGs3YDmRqHAzWCaSIWnK45K1PRNnDJAq-d0sQOchYM0HOdtP9zhMH5XXmlhJxxvTfOX92sPKHVMOe_-qKV2_04dtAm8olw/s1600/Lola+001.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562516530499158594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhbI0fhHsQJSenPM7sii3I7fRNMjLAOFpvgBCIlmhSpGs3YDmRqHAzWCaSIWnK45K1PRNnDJAq-d0sQOchYM0HOdtP9zhMH5XXmlhJxxvTfOX92sPKHVMOe_-qKV2_04dtAm8olw/s320/Lola+001.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>I lost Lola this week on the 1/11/11 to something that we don't really know what it was.

She's a heart breaker.</div>Larryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09597115508662139221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13978322.post-77613959148695005692008-07-02T21:55:00.004-05:002008-07-02T22:09:09.854-05:00New Happenings 2008<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmivm9J5-7cZTbLDYZOMgySFrosDCrim2tQLLbdZkyIMeoCKSsKkROCnteKRs1P9TSQziD3ya5MOdWwHd-30Ok0sx2MmQbJoT65XVEe6AyvLecXVyxlP_rNoLJ3rAQJGrjPb7LzQ/s1600-h/Lola+002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218618626136951778" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmivm9J5-7cZTbLDYZOMgySFrosDCrim2tQLLbdZkyIMeoCKSsKkROCnteKRs1P9TSQziD3ya5MOdWwHd-30Ok0sx2MmQbJoT65XVEe6AyvLecXVyxlP_rNoLJ3rAQJGrjPb7LzQ/s320/Lola+002.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGhow-Tl9PgqSMlLQMLR4znKKzp1eTmS842hVCzHx6pxAVBrHG5HXH0nJRoL78PO-2CZMs-lYmpR-1BNXqka7VW2S86p6znQmH38rYzlTrifItf5DiNfw87wdoqfXxaURkdam-9A/s1600-h/Lola+011.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218618304839057970" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGhow-Tl9PgqSMlLQMLR4znKKzp1eTmS842hVCzHx6pxAVBrHG5HXH0nJRoL78PO-2CZMs-lYmpR-1BNXqka7VW2S86p6znQmH38rYzlTrifItf5DiNfw87wdoqfXxaURkdam-9A/s320/Lola+011.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9H8VIxEhYXR3d7MUxPROyq0s-Us4p5yJB0XlbpIH1q_PASstertNcWR75sR4cJzpfaT814Y3AoVPv2h4TYvotr4exFFsP79f4UXEGmuaezJGkb2muRULP-7sHTy1swDSxh41xYA/s1600-h/Lola+001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218618305818888546" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9H8VIxEhYXR3d7MUxPROyq0s-Us4p5yJB0XlbpIH1q_PASstertNcWR75sR4cJzpfaT814Y3AoVPv2h4TYvotr4exFFsP79f4UXEGmuaezJGkb2muRULP-7sHTy1swDSxh41xYA/s320/Lola+001.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEd_luBAMa0fOYbL-GP6UfNyhy64Djpbvq0VqD_zlNRfpeITklkCgezIonOtlbzdYIGMcnsSqcXOwJGGPMW11CLLfGlwGPDCkTj7yhUn0JfaEtqQomeDl8oikSS7e6zN5tr5m6SQ/s1600-h/MY+DAD+003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218618313408234258" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEd_luBAMa0fOYbL-GP6UfNyhy64Djpbvq0VqD_zlNRfpeITklkCgezIonOtlbzdYIGMcnsSqcXOwJGGPMW11CLLfGlwGPDCkTj7yhUn0JfaEtqQomeDl8oikSS7e6zN5tr5m6SQ/s320/MY+DAD+003.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Well gang it's been a long time since my last post. I'm sorry for that. Many things have happened, but the important ones for me have been most recent. My father, Floyd P. Wright passed away on June 4th. It was unexpected, but I'm thankful that he went peacefully and painlessly. I already miss him greatly.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>On June 29th, my dog Lottie also died. She had a puppy, yes a singleton on Memorial Day. Again, this was unexpected. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>I still have Lola and will soon look for a playmate for her, although she is doing better at being the only princess in this house.</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>My grand nephew Nico has also graduated from Shawnee Mission North High School. Yep, 31 years after I graduated from there. He pole vaults and is number one in the state. He's competing now at different competions to try and raise himself in rankings for college. CONGRATS NICO.</div><div> </div><div>My youngest niece Alison is also expecting a baby boy in September, but Uncle Lou is shooting for October 9th. GOOOOO ALI.</div></div>Larryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09597115508662139221noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13978322.post-1134006645968047472005-12-07T19:35:00.000-06:002005-12-26T19:05:28.130-06:00More Puppies and what great weather.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/1600/DCP00634.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/320/DCP00634.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/1600/DCP00629.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/320/DCP00629.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/1600/DCP00631.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/320/DCP00631.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/1600/DCP00628.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/320/DCP00628.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/1600/DCP00631.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/320/DCP00631.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/1600/DCP00632.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/320/DCP00632.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/1600/DCP00556.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/320/DCP00556.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/1600/DCP00559.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/320/DCP00559.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/1600/DCP00628.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/320/DCP00628.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/1600/DCP00567.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/320/DCP00567.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/1600/DCP00627.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/320/DCP00627.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/1600/DCP00637.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/320/DCP00637.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/1600/DCP00638.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4068/1250/320/DCP00638.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Here are some pictures from when Stacy brought Sheyenne and Skylar home at Thanksgiving.
