Theory of cultural difference Sample Clauses

Theory of cultural difference. There are many other definitions of cultures nowadays, but seldom can we find a tool to compare the difference of culture scientifically. However, in this thesis I would like to use the most famous definition of culture given by professor Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, and to search for difference in this way. According to his definition, culture is “the collectiveprogrammingofthemindwhichdistinguishesthemembersofonegroupor category ofpeoplefromanother”. Culture, after development for so many years, its strategic position has become much more outstanding, and thus Xxxxxxxx’s definition has been widely used in the researches of social sciences. Hofstede divided culture into six dimensions, four of which are the most relevant theory for this research, they are namely power distance (PD), Individualism & Collectivism (IDV), Masculinity & Femininity (MAS) and Uncertainty Avoidance (UAI). These dimensions are applied to curve a framework of the influence of culture on educational cooperation. � Power distance: “The extent to which less powerful members within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally” (Xxxx, 2009). Power distance is the degree to which the members of organizations and institutions (like the family) in lower position accept that power is distributed unequally and have limited access to the higher management or top of the hierarchy. Cultures endorsed low power distance expect and enjoy the power distribution, people inside are much happier and efficiency.

  • CULTURAL DIVERSITY The Cultural Diversity Requirement generally does not add units to a student's program. Rather, it is intended to be fulfilled by choosing courses from the approved list that also satisfy requirements in other areas of the student’s program; the exception is that Cultural Diversity courses may not satisfy Culture and Language Requirements for B.S. students. For example, Anthropology 120 can fulfill (3) units of the Behavioral Science requirement and (3) units of the Cultural Diversity requirement. This double counting of a class may only be done with the Cultural Diversity requirement. Courses in Cultural Diversity may be taken at the lower-division or upper-division level. U . S .

ICE’s Interest Settlement Rates are currently displayed on Bloomberg L.P.’s page “BBAM.” That page, or any other page that may replace page BBAM on that service or any other service that ICE nominates as the information vendor to display the ICE’s Interest Settlement Rates for deposits in U.S. dollars, is a “Designated Page.” ICE’s Interest Settlement Rates currently are rounded to five decimal places. If ICE’s Interest Settlement Rate does not appear on the Designated Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on a LIBOR Adjustment Date, or if the Designated Page is not then available, One-Month LIBOR for that date will be the most recently published Interest Settlement Rate. If ICE no longer sets an Interest Settlement Rate, Freddie Mac will designate an alternative index that has performed, or that Freddie Mac (or its agent) expects to perform, in a manner substantially similar to ICE’s Interest Settlement Rate.
