Cultures And Values In Human Society

Cultures And Values In Human Society Culture is the essential part of the humans society. Every person is spending his or her life within a certain cultural community. It frequently defines what kinds of person a man or woman is and what values will they have. Does the cultural environment have a direct effect on the values within a community for anthropology, psychology and sociology? Let us discuss this topic step by step. To understand it better, we can at first define what the cultural environment is and what influence it has on people within it. The very nature of the cultural environment is cultural and social aspects. It is could also be called a social context and sometimes milieu. It is a culture of a society or a group where a certain person is living or getting an education; it is institutions and people who interact with a certain human. By interaction we can mean not only different types of personal communication (like on a workplace, in class, with neighbors etc.); people could also communicate with each other by means of different communicational media (like phone, internet, newspapers, television etc). In spite of non personal type of the communication, people whom a man or a woman meets in internet can have an influence on his or her values and point of view. Also television and other mass media form our perception of life and other people little by little. This type of interaction we c an call one way or anonymous. It does not always imply the equality of the social status. Thus, the concept of a social environment is wider that the concept of a social circle or a social class. Nevertheless, it is common that those people who have the same social environment start having a sense of solidarity. They easily help and trust each other; also they tend to create a social group. As a result, those people will always have a similar way of thinking and similar patterns even if they make different conclusions. It shows us that people depend on society and culture around them very much whether they recognize this fact or not. Let us briefly define what culture itself is. It is going to help us understand what kind of effect it has on the values within a community for anthropology, psychology and sociology. There is plenty of information about culture and different consequences of it. It is impossible to transmit a culture through genealogy. Culture is not something innate; culture is something that everybody should learn. Different facets of it are interrelated; a culture is spread by those people within a group. Nowadays different cultures could easily exist within a country side by side (like it commonly happens in African countries). According to Hoebel (1960), the definition of a culture is following: The integrated sum total of learned behavioral traits that are manifest and shared by members of society. According Lawton (1975), culture includes age grading, religious rituals and athletic sport. According to Frow (1995) there are traditional differences in task and doing business were breaking down and this meant that standardization rather than adaptation is becoming increasingly prevalent. Probably, a culture is one of the most significant environmental variables that should be considered within a global marketing. Often a culture could not be freely overlooked; it often hiding from a view. Culture consists of some elements; they are language, aesthetics, religion, values and attitudes, education, social organization and material culture. It is necessary to discuss briefly every element of it. Material culture includes communications, power, transportations and others. Language is the next aspect of culture. It is a reflection of the values and nature of a certain society group. It could be sub-cultural languages, for example, dialects; in some countries it could be two or even more languages. Aesthetics includes art, dancing, arts-music. It concerns good taste, beauty, form and color of it. Education, as it is easy to see, includes the transmission of ideas, attitudes, skills and training in certain disciplines as well. Moreover, education serves as a transmitter of cultural and social values. Sometimes a child was introduced to the cultural value by school or later by university. Religion gives the humans behavior the best insight and as well it helps us to answer different questions, for example, why people behave n this way and not in another. We can see that culture is a complicate conception; it includes different aspects. What can we say about values conception? What is commonly meant by values? Shortly, by values a person may mean something that is really matter to him or her. It is beliefs and ideas somebody holds as special. Social and cultural environment forms ones values. Home, church school there are just some places where people could study values that are common for everybody within their cultural environment. Teachers, friends, parents are forming our personal system of values from day to day. As a result we have personal values. Arts et al. (2003) summarized that they consist of something that we accepted from people around as and that part that came with our own life experience. It is too compulsory to accept everything a person is hearing around him or her; nevertheless, values of cultural environment around us has its strong influence on our own system of values. Now, when we recognize what values, culture and cultural environment commonly mean we can examine the direct effect that the cultural environment has on the values within a community for anthropology, psychology and sociology. Before discussing the influence of a cultural environment on a person according to anthropology let us briefly mention the definition of the science. Saying shortly anthropology is the inquiry of humanity. Its origins throw back in the social sciences, natural science and humanities. The term itself is taken from the ancient Greek language and has two parts: man and study or discourse. The matters of anthropology are how do people behave, what are their physical traits, why we can see differences and variations between groups of people, and finally who was the ancestor of the modern humans. Anthropology is commonly divided in to four fields; they are cultural, or social, anthropology, linguistic anthropology, archaeology and biological, or physical, anthropology. We can see that anthropology itself is the science that studies social and cultural values, differences, origins, roots etc. Thus, it is important to talk about the influence of culture environment according to this certain science. According to anthropology, a culture could be seated deeply; unprepared person could take some type of a culture like something senseless, strange and even cruel. Let us give an example. According to the Muslim culture a woman must cover her face with yashmak and hide herself from any alien. Nilaweera Wijetunga (2005) emphasized that this custom could appear strange and senseless to any person from Europe, United States or numeral other countries where people flaunt a womans form openly. Here is another example of the opposite culture. In some African countries (like Congo, Kenya etc) women do not wear top cloths. Oyeshile (2004) explained this fact that according to their culture, their traditions and according to their hot climate they do not consider the top of the female body something that they should cover or hide. There are many other different examples of things and customs that are unacceptable and even criminal in one part of the world; at the same time at another part of it people consider it the culture and commonly do it. Summarizing this short extract we can see that cultural environment have a direct effect on the values within a community for anthropology. Continue the two examples above, a woman from the African country where there is not common or compulsory to cover her body with upper wear have values that are different from the values that are precious for a woman from a Muslim country. If those women could try to explain themselves their culture, values and reasons why they are keeping those culture values they would hardly understand each other. It is common that Muslim people condemn women from Europe and America. For them even the most modest and restrained American female seems to be a woman without culture values because she shows certain part of her body What can we say about the influence of the social environment on personal values for psychology? What is psychology? It is the science of the humans behavior and mind. This science is an attempt to understand humanity by exploring certain specific cases and by discovering some general principles as well. One of the main goals of psychology is to benefit the society. Scientists who involved in it we can divide in to some groups: cognitive scientists, social scientists and behavioral scientists. Among others, social behavior is among different subjects of psychology. The science of psychology explores following concepts: emotion, cognition, phenomenology, perception, attention, brain functioning, behavior, motivation, personality, unconscious mind and interpersonal relationships. As anthropology, the science of psychology is a social science and it has a strong connection with social environment. According to psychology, some type of behavior could be considered normal and other type c ould be considered abnormal. Commonly, humanity has the same nature. For example, murdering and cruelty is considered abnormal in every social group and community. Nevertheless, within some cultures the conception of cruelty may vary. Let us give an example. In American and European countries violation in any form is unacceptable even within a family. Thus people who keep doing it to others would consider psychologically abnormal. According to the culture of some eastern countries, especially countries with Muslim culture, a husband can beat his wife or punish her or in any other way if she does not satisfy him. What kind of misdeed could a wife do? She may cook a food that her husband does not like; she may say a word that her husband could consider unacceptable. People within the community with such culture are considered psychologically normal even if they commit violence every day. According to their culture cruelty is acceptable. A woman is expecting for it and she has no even right to complain. According to the example above we can see that psychological situation within a community could have a strong negative effect on personal values of a human. A person can look at low values of members of the community around him or her and subconsciously this person could understate those values that he or she had before. Psychologically people inclined to depend on society. That is why we can state that the cultural environment have a direct effect on the values within a community for psychology. Sociology is the last science that we are going to discuss. It studies the society using different methods of critical analysis and empirical investigations. This science refines and develops knowledge about the activity of human society. One of the aims of sociology is to achieve the social welfare with the mean of the knowledge. Mancheno-Smoak et al. (2009) stated that the field of interests in sociology varies from the micro level of interaction and agency to the macro level of social structures and systems. It is a very broad conception that is focused traditionally on social class, religion, social stratification, social mobility, secularization, deviance and law. It includes all spheres of peoples activity. It is interesting that sociology studies different types of interactions between people. We are living in the age of the world wide globalization when the whole planet is becoming one big house. Different cultural and social communities are not staying separate from each oth er like it was some hundreds years ago. People are moving, migrating and spreading their culture and different values among other societies. Why can we state that according to sociology, the cultural environment have a direct effect on the values within a community? First reason is that people like to communicate with each other. It means that they getting some new knowledge and values. Roniger (1995) declared that when representatives of different cultures are staying in contact for some time they will get used to new values. It will stop being new for them. New cultural values will become common and according to sociology people will start accepting it in their lives. In some time they would not remember that one or another culture or value was not imparted to them. And it is the second reason why the cultural environment has an effect on values of people for sociology. In other words, when people move from one place to another they create a new social group with mixed culture and values. In conclusion of all factors and aspects that we discussed above we can see that anthropology, sociology and psychology are connected between each other. These three sciences are all about the human nature, culture and community. They are examining interactions and cooperation between different people; we can state that the cultural environment have a direct effect on the values within a community for anthropology, psychology and sociology because according to these sciences it is up to peoples nature to take something new from others. According to religion, human society was created as one big family. Let us agree that this statement is right; thus, we need to accept that people within a social community have a direct effect on each other in the same way in which members within an ordinary family have. Every science that we discussed has one main aim to make our society better. We need to remember that it is up to everybody to help in achievement of this aim.

Stress Management Reflection

After learning about stress in this class my understanding is that, stress symptoms may be affecting your health, even though you might not realize it. You may think illness is to blame for that nagging headache, your frequent forgetfulness or your decreased productivity at work. But sometimes stress is to blame. Indeed, stress symptoms can affect your body, your thoughts and feelings, and your behavior. There is a long list of serious health problems that may develop due to stress.Some include depression, diabetes, hair loss, heart disease, high blood pressure, stomach upset, sleep problems, chest pain, back pain, obesity, obsessive-compulsive or anxiety disorder, sexual dysfunction, tooth and gum disease, ulcers, cancer. Some examples on how stress can affect your behavior are overeating, under eating, angry outbursts, drug or alcohol abuse, increased smoking, social withdrawal, crying spells, relationship conflicts. When you recognize common stress symptoms, you can take steps to manage them.Like we learned in this class stress management could include physical activity, relaxation techniques, mediation, yoga, tai chi, get a massage, and even things like keeping a journal recognizing your stressors and working on them. Everyone is different so finding your own relaxation techniques will help tremendously. Throughout this course I have learned about myself that I am not the only one in the world that has stress, it is more common than I thought. I have learned that if I take the time to do breathing exercises or right a journal about my thoughts I feel a huge relief and a lot less stressed.When I have a lot do I found that if I make a list and plan ahead it helps minimize my stress. I learned that when I am in a very stressful situation or the week has added up to breaking point for me, doing breathing exercises helps me feel way more relaxed and calm. Another thing I learned about myself regarding my relationship with my boyfriend is I have become a negative thinker, due to some issues we had in the past. This causes so much stress in my life that I cannot even begin to explain. However, after taking this class I have learned many ways to cope with this and it has been a tremendous help to me and my relationship.I believe my strengths are keeping organized and motivated. If I am not organized it is a huge stressor for me. When I stay motivated I accomplish a lot more things in one day, which in return is a huge stress relief. Some areas that I show room for improvement are I need to set more weekly or monthly goals for myself instead of just long term goals, by doing this I believe I would feel more accomplished. Another area of improvement for me is I need to have more trust for my boyfriend. Forgive, forget and move on. One last improvement would be to improve my level of self discipline.The topics I related to the most or the ones that I was most interested in were body awareness, breathing exercises, the worry and anxiety chapter, goal setting, and time management. I really enjoyed the body awareness exercises because it recognizes that when stressed the body automatically tenses. Our muscles become hard, tight and tense. Holding this tension is very tiring, and hence, a feeling of fatigue can occur. If the muscular tension has no release, because of the constant stress levels and not knowing how to relax your muscles can cause strain on your body.After doing this exercise in the book I was able to recognize what tense muscles felt and looked like and what relaxed muscles felt and looked like. So now when I have tension I feel that I am better at being able to let it go through body awareness and muscle relaxation. The breathing exercises we did in class I really enjoyed doing, I was able to take this from class and apply to my daily life when I was feeling stressed. I was really able to relate to the worry and anxiety chapter because I used to have huge anxiety problems which I have had counseling to work th rough.Another chapter that interested me was the goal setting chapter because it is something that I have wanted to work on improving myself, so I loved the fact that I had the opportunity to learn more about goal setting and that it had activities in the book. Time management was another big one for me. I feel like learning more about time management helped improve my organization skills. If I was to take this class again I would like to learn more about the different stress relieving techniques. I guess not so much learn about them because we did learn about different ones, but I would have liked to practice more of them.For example, I would have liked a yoga day. I would have liked to learn about more ways to prevent stress, I felt like we learned a lot about what to do when we are stressed but not enough about what to do prevent it. Our true sources of stress aren’t always obvious, and it is way too easy to overlook our own stress-inducing thoughts, feelings, and behavior s. I don’t believe there is anything that is unclear about what we learned in class, our book did a very good job at covering stress management.I felt the books activities were very helpful and for once I bought I book for school that I will go back and refer to for future help. Now that the course has ended and I am more aware of my stressors, my plan is to continue my stress journal where I write about what causes my stress, how it made me feel both physically and mentally, how I acted in response, and what I do to make myself feel better. Also, continue to learn new healthier ways to manage my stress. Change the situation, or change your reaction. Remember the four A’s, avoid, alter, adapt, or accept.Remember my healthy ways to relax and recharge when I am overwhelmed and feeling stressed. Some of the things that work for me are, going and getting a massage, doing something with my mom or sister, playing with my daughter, taking a long bath with lots of lavender sce nt and candles, driving around and listening to my favorite music, and doing one of my many hobbies. If I am noticing that I continue to have a lot of stress I will either find a way to enjoy the situation (except the things I cannot change) or find a way to leave/change the situation.The concepts discussed in this class apply to my future career goals by being constantly stressed out and not knowing how to deal with it can cause lack of motivation. I think that my future career goals call for a lot of motivation, so it would help if the stress in my life was minimal so I could stay focused. Another topic discussed in class that could be applied to future career goals is goal setting and time management. My future career goal is to become an OB nurse, with this job there could be extra stress due to the weird hours worked and just the job it’s self.So I believe the concepts discussed in class I will be able to apply to my future career and my personal everyday life. In conclu sion, after taking this stress management class I have learned that stress has many negative impacts on the body. I learned more about myself in regards to my stressors and I learned about some things that I didn’t even realize were stressing me out. There were topics I could relate to and some I really was interested in. I will continue to write in my stress journal and find ways to help and avoid stress.

The Procter Gamble Supply Chain Management Mastering the Supply Chain is vital viewpoint to attain high client fulfillment that will prompt benefit and more prominent piece of the pie. So as to make the Supply Chain capacities as a center of the plan of action, the organization needs to rethink its system. This involves both producing another technique and bringing the Companys other center exercises into arrangement with this new plan of action above all, the record choice, in the client operations, the channel method, the center operations abilities and Management/Organization Structure. These exercises must experience extensive progressions. Capable Supply Chain makes an unique plan of action that adjusts the real destination of Supply Chain Management from expense control to income improvement to Customer fulfillment. Procter Gamble awhile ago utilized Supply Chain authority to pare out solid, long haul Competitive Advantage. The Companys key center to Supply Chain-based administration modernization changed both the purchaser items and retail commercial enterprises. The strategy obliged immediate conveyance to significant records. This channel game plan empowered Procter and Gamble to create an outstandingly high level of client certainty and on-going rounds of Supply Chain modernization in these records. In the meantime, Procter and Gamble quietly moved to end its guide associations with various more modest records, setting up a set of expert merchants to administration them. Thusly, the primary wholesalers had become enough volume to maintain immediate worth included associations with Procter Gamble.

Subsequently, they chose to utilize executor based demonstrating intricate, versatile frameworks in the wake of doing a great deal of examination. The Strategies Procter Gamble Supply Chain procedures are for the most part includes on: 1.

Supply Network An executor based demonstrating unpredictable, versatile framework Procter Gamble change its Supply Chain framework with the utilized of an operator based displaying in which its essentials helped the organization until they probably wont even calls it a Supply Chain. The Cincinnati-based creator of Tide, Crest, Pringles, Pampers, Clairol and 300 different items now call its associations with 5 billion customers in 140 nations a Supply Network. (Computerworld 2010) Larry Kellam, the Procter Gambles Director of Supply Network (Memo to Oracle 2012) expresses that, Chain hints something that is successive, that obliges taking care of off data in succession. We trust it need to work like a system, in the same way as a web, so everyone has perceivability to the data. The said model are to a great degree mind boggling in a hefty portion of its frameworks general are truth be told made up of semi-autonomous nearby executors following up on a couple of basic standards. One can s ecure and improve the entire framework by demonstrating and changing the conduct of the operator. Also by utilizing this, Procter Gamble spares in expenses, inventories will be decreased and the purchaser administration will be better. In the reenactments of the organizations machines, the operators of the product speak to the individual segments of the supply framework, for example, trucks, drivers, stores, and so on. The conduct of every executor is customized by means of decides that copy genuine conduct, e.g., Dispatch this truck just when it is full or Make more cleanser when stock tumbles to x days request. (Memo to Oracle 2012) These reenactments let Procter Gamble performs consider the possibility that examines to evaluate the impact of new logistics methods on three key measurements: (1) stock levels, (2) transportation costs, (3) in-store stock-outs. The models considered option administers on events, for example, in requesting and delivery, strategies on item port ion in dispersion focus, guaging of interest, and so on. Agent-based demonstrating is accepted to have brought a few changes that Procter Gamble in a broad sense needed to make in the event that they were to be adaptable and versatile, Kellam (Procter Gambles Director of Supply Network Innovation) says, clarifying that changes fell into the accompanying three expansive regions: 1. Unwinding of unbending tenets, frequently irrationally, so as to enhance the general execution of the supply organize that obliged some social progressions, for example, persuading cargo administrators that it is at times adequate to release a truck half-full. 2. More adaptability in circulation. For instance, it is conceivable to restock a retailer in 24 hours instead of the standard 48 to 72 hours. 3. More adaptability in assembling. In view of bits of knowledge picked up by the models, Procter Gamble is in a far-reaching way re-tooling its assembling courses of action with the goal that it is no more creates long runs of a solitary item however rather has the capacity create each item consistently. The profits incorporate less stock-outs and more content clients. Procter Gamble uses Supply Chain Management programming from SAP AG, however it turned to a minor New Mexico organization when its long endeavors to abatement stock levels delivered just minimal changes. Procter Gamble went to Bios Group on the grounds that they think uniquely in contrast to the way Procter Gamble does things. utilizing this most recent engineering has made Procter Gamble convey merchandise to the correct spot at the opportune time giving great client fulfillment and expanding its piece of the overall industry. ( Daily Finance 2012) A.g. Lafley, President and Chief Executive Officer Procter Gamble, says, In this way, by utilizing this engineering, the greatest effects on our business have been upgrades in administration, cost and velocity. We know were conveying better purcha ser administration, better client and supplier administration and better worker benefit all through the world as an aftereffect of the way were utilizing the Internet based, Agent-based displaying of unpredictable, versatile frameworks Supply Network. The Influence of the System to the company Jeff Schomburger, Procter Gambles Customer Business Development pioneer in Western Europe (Computerworld 2003) expresses that, Out-of-stocks are an extensive issue, frustrating and putting at hazard our dedicated customers. We can alter these issues by making out-of-stock diminishment a top industry need. Retailers and Manufacturers need to cooperate on instruments and methodologies to dispose of it.

Recommendations à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¢ Secure administration help before beginning to overhaul supply organize. Not to let governmental issues sentence the activity to disappointment. Coordinated effort inside the association is normally just as troublesome as outer cooperation with exchanging accomplices. Distinctive capacities and offices need to create genuine inner coordinated effort to make a consistent purchaser driven supply arrange conceivable. à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¢ Leverage the worth IT can acquire joining request and supply side business forms. Senior chiefs wont require much inciting to perceive the waste of showcasing assets that happens when customers land at a vacant rack. Persuading them that interest in IT and a speedier, more adaptable store network can take care of the issue may take longer. à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¢ Simplify their applications structural planning to permit shared business procedures and adapt to changes in system collusions. It is pivotal to outline an adaptable, corresponded bu siness applications structural planning for collective business forms. Not to sit tight for flawlessness, yet put resources into comprehension engineering and its potential effect on your business. It is critical that new operations can be included or separated rapidly (in under six months) when the inexorable acquisitions and divestitures happen. Limit the quantity of frameworks used to abstain from being overpowered by interfacing issues that add little to how the money adds up. à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¢ Webifying their internal frameworks will only open their insufficiencies to a greater group of onlookers. Since this gathering of people is precisely the gathering of outside accomplices they require as close and sure co-conspirators, not to promote their shortcomings. They cant make progressed close ongoing cooperation work without secure and productive inside system.

Along his fight back to Ithica, he faced many monsters and dangers, but he cont inued to carry on because he longed for the day that would reunite his family. As the years passed, Penelope never once faltered at her oath to love, cherish and remain faithful to her husband (Bastin). â€Å"Do I stay beside my son and keep all things secure †¦or do I follow, at last, the best man who courts me†; Penelope would reach out to her close family to ask for guidance because even a hero knows to seek advice from others (Homer 498).
