In my experience, when this team work is successfully we will build a good relationship and be a friend, for example, when I work with a multi-culture team in language school, my classmates also become my friends.

Team leadership
Work in a multi-culture team, the important technique is people need to respect each other, and try to understand everyone’s culture diversity (Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner, 1998, p.60-61). Also have different organizational structure to adapt different culture, so leader is important, because this person might influence this team work is successful or not (Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner, 1998, p.64-66). As a good team leader, have a correct organization can make team operation more effective, and it also depend on different culture background and team constitution, for instance, which countries are team members from (Robert, Mansour, Paul and Peter, 2002).

Conclusion
In recent years more people face of multi-culture work, owing to increase globalization business, so it is essential to understand different culture and how to operate and work with different background’s people. However it cannot avoid conflict and people have different opinion, but in the process respect and good communication and help members solve problems (Richard and Tim, 2009).

Albert Einstein

...with the same thinking we used when we created them. Albert Einstein was a German-born physicist who developed the general theory of relativity, among other feats. He is considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century. Born in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany in 1879, Albert Einstein had a passion for inquiry that eventually led him to develop the special and general theories of relativity. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize for physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect and immigrated to the U.S. in the following decade after being targeted by the Nazis. Einstein is generally considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century, with his work also having a major impact on the development of atomic energy. With a focus on unified field theory during his later years, Einstein died on April 18, 1955, in Princeton, New Jersey. Einstein attended elementary school at the Luitpold Gymnasium in Munich. However, he felt alienated there and struggled with the institution's rigid pedagogical style. He also had what were considered to be speech challenges, though he developed a passion for classical music and playing the violin that would stay with him into his later years. Most significantly, Einstein's youth was marked by deep inquisitiveness and inquiry.  Towards the end of the 1880s, Max Talmud, a Polish medical student who sometimes dined with the Einstein family, became an informal tutor to young Albert. Talmud had introduced his pupil to a children’s science...

Albert Einstein

...Albert Einstein Albert Einstein had little resistance attending school. Some say that Einstein had dyslexia. Einstein showed language impairments at a very young age. His family believed he may be slow because of the abnormal period of time before he began to talk. Between the ages of two and three Einstein began to speak whole sentences. According to most researchers they believed that Einstein was withdrawn from the world as a boy. When Einstein started school he did surprisingly well. At the age of 16 Einstein failed the college exam the first time plainly because he did not study and later learned that it’s a bad choice to not prepare for a test. Einstein is a clear example of a person who is listed with learning disabilities in today's schools. If you have the right approach to education than labels can’t stop you from making great accomplishments, which is proven by Einstein and others like Thomas Edison, Leonardo de Vinci, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Winston Churchill, and Walt Disney. Einstein made many contributions to mathematics. The first is the Special Theory of Relativity, which essentially deals with the question of whether rest and motion are relative or absolute, and with the consequences of Einstein’s conjecture that they are relative. The second is the General Theory of Relativity, which primarily applies to particles as they accelerate, particularly due to gravitation, and acts as a radical revision of Newton’s theory, predicting important new...

Albert Einstein

...It is very difficult to earn the title “genius”, but one person that earns this distinction in everybody’s perspective is Albert Einstein. This genius was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14, 1879 and died in Princeton, New Jersey on April 17, 1955. Einstein’s theories were groundbreaking and challenged many existing theories and assumptions at that time. His theories like relativity and photo-electricity made way to many inventions later. Einstein was one of the greatest innovators. He changed the world of physics with his easy-to-learn theories. Einstein once said “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”. When he first published his Theory of relativity, Einstein was just a Patent Clerk in Switzerland and not a physicist or research scholar, like he wanted to be. This was how this genius made his entrance as an innovator. One of the most important events in Einstein’s life is his work on relativity. The relativity theory is about how speed of light affects time. Time is relative and can move slow or fast depending on the speed of light the matter moves. Another important event is Einstein’s contribution to the World War II. Einstein sent a letter to Franklin Roosevelt, recommending that the United States make the atomic bomb before Germany did. His theory of E=mc2 provided the basis for this invention that changed the outcome of World War II. He later regretted writing the recommendation letter...

...Albert Einstien Albert Einstein Every era has its own heroes. People who stood out amongst the rest. The human race is such a young species compared to the others that we share this amazing planet with. Because we are so young, we still have a lot to learn. I was once told that a day without learning something new, is a day wasted. There is no reason that you should not learn one new thing every day. The world is an amazing place that has so much to offer and so much to learn. How one decides to accomplish the above statement is up to them. There are going to be people who take that a little more serious than others. Among the people of the 19th century that stand out, Albert Einstein is one that has become a house hold name because of the discoveries and theories he was able to come up with in his lifetime. As you read history books, it will be hard not to see Albert Einstein’s name. He alone has made some of the more significant discoveries in our history as a race. The way he was able to achieve this was not in the way one would think. When typically thinking of a person such as Einstein, what comes to mind is someone who spent their lives as a professor in a university, where they were able to spend their time expanding their knowledge and share theories with people of their same intelligence. This environment would allow for them to grow their knowledge by the influences of their surroundings. However this is not the case for Einstein. It wasn’t...

Albert Bandura

...Albert Bandura had a theory of learning called the Social Learning Theory. The Social Learning Theory is a theory in which people learn through observing other people and their actions and reactions. (Woolfolk). Psychology cannot tell people how they ought to live their lives,. It can however, provide them with the means for effecting personal and social change.” (Bandura)"Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do.” (Cherry) Bandura performed an experiment with a doll. This famous Bobo doll experiment was observations by children of adults being aggressive with a doll. In turn, the children were observed being aggressive with the doll also. Bandura’s Social Learning Theory identifies three basic models of observational learning. The first model is a live model which is a person performing an observable behavior. A second model is a verbal model which is behaviors described and explained by a person. The third model is a symbolic model which shows humans or fake beings performing certain behaviors in T.V programs, movies, books or online. (Cherry). Observational learning is not always an effective observation due to the many people involved. This theory involves both the model and the learner (Cherry). The Social Learning Theory has four components: paying attention, retaining information or impressions, producing behaviors, and being motivated to...

The Life of Albert Einstein

...Albert Einstein Of all the scientists to emerge from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries there is one whose name is known by almost all living people. While most of these do not understand this man's work, everyone knows that its impact on the world of science is astonishing. Yes,many have heard of Albert Einstein's General Theory of relativity, but few know about the intriguing life that led this scientist to discover what some have called, "The greatest single achievement of human thought." Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany on March 14, 1874. Before his first birthday, his family had moved to Munich where young Albert's father, Hermann Einstein, and uncle set up a small electro-chemical business. He was fortunate to have an excellent family with which he held a strong relationship. Albert's mother, Pauline Einstein, had an intense passion for music and literature, and it was she that first introduced her son to the violin in which he found much joy and relaxation. Also, he was very close with his younger sister, Maja, and they could often be found in the lakes that were scattered about the countryside near Munich. As a child, Einstein's sense of curiosity had already begun to stir. A favorite toy of his was his father's compass, and he often marveled at his uncle's explanations of algebra.

Albert Einten

...Albert Einstein was born in Germany, He was one of the greatest minds in world history, and known as a brilliant physicist who contributed more to the scientific world than any other person. He majorly contributed to the four areas of the science; Light, Time, Energy, and Gravity .His theories on relativity paved the way for how science currently views time, space, energy, and gravity. Despite troubles in education and learning as a child, Einstein surpassed the odds and helped revolutionize science today. With his theories on relativity and gravity, Einstein would inspire other great scientists explain the unexplainable. Einstein also helped in the advancement of modern warfare, in the creation of the atomic bomb. Einstein's early work on the theory of relativity (1905) dealt only with systems or observers in uniform (unaccelerated) motion with respect to one another and is referred to as the special theory of relativity; among other results, it demonstrated that two observers moving at great speed with respect to each other will disagree about measurements of length and time intervals made in each other's systems, that the speed of light is the limiting speed of all bodies having mass, and that mass and energy are equivalent. In 1911 he asserted the equivalence of gravitation and inertia, and in 1916 he completed his mathematical formulation of a general theory of relativity that included gravitation as a determiner of the curvature of a space-time continuum. He then began...

Albert Bandura

...Essay 4 Pieter van Rooyen 17333652 Albert bandura can be regarded as one of the most important representatives of social cognitive learning theories. He’s theory on observational learning (learning by observing behavior) is the single most important form of learning. He argues that people learn most of their behavior through observation and only a little through direct contact. The reason for this is the complexity of most behavior, and that this can’t be learned through verbal instructions. This essay will focus on the principles of observational learning, highlight the strength and weaknesses, and also how observational learning can promote positive intergroup relations on campus at the University of Stellenbosch. Observation is a common learning tool and many, if not most do it unconsciously. The term modeling is used to describe this. This is when an observer observes the behavior of a model and then repeats the behavior. There are a few factors that influence this observational learning. They are the nature of the modeled behavior, the characteristics of the model, the characteristics of the observer, the result of the models behavior and the self-efficacy perception of the observer. The nature of the modeled behavior refers to the actual behavior. The situation in which the behavior takes place and if it is new or old behavior. New behavior attracts more attention than old behavior. The characteristics of the model plays an important role in observation learning....

Albert Einstein

...German-born American theoretical physicist, Albert Einstein, often regarded as the father of modern physics, had exceptional intellectual ability and unprecedented insight. Many believed him to be one of the most influential people in both science and mathematics, and quite possibly the most famous scientist of the 20th century (Severance, 1999). As cited by Fingon and Fingon, Einstein was well known for being a brilliant physicist and abstract thinker, applying his creativity and imagination in his scientific thought process (Parker, 2003). He received the 1921 Nobel Prize for his contribution to the study of physics, namely his special (1905) and general (1916) theories of relativity. The name “Einstein” is often thought of as being synonymous with the word genius. Einstein was not always thought of as a genius, however. His unique intellectual abilities as a young boy created challenges for him in his everyday home and school life, but his sense of wonder paired with persistence and determination led him to be the successful prodigy people know him as today. Abraham Maslow’s humanistic approach of self-actualization provides significant explanation for Einstein’s behaviors and achievements throughout his life. Heredity and environment played vital roles in Einstein’s psychological development. Einstein’s parents and teachers observed his early childhood developmental delays and had doubts regarding his intelligence. His parents worried about his intellectual development...

Albert Einstein's Honor

...What is honesty, fairness, or high respect in the eyes of others? Honor. To me, honor means that a person has done something so respected and important, that that person and their act will continually be remembered throughout history. Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Württemberg, Germany on March 14, 1879. Einstein was born into a highly religious Jewish family. He had one younger sibling, Maja Einstein, who was 2 years younger than him. Einstein played violin and enjoyed classical music more than anything as a young boy. He found it hard making friends because of a speech impediment that caused him to pause several times before getting a sentence out. Doctors described it as a “slow cadence” as he was figuring out how he wanted to say a certain sentence. As a child, Einstein questioned everything he could. One of the most popular stories is how Einstein was puzzled by the needle in a compass. He was in awe of the invisible forces moving the needle. This experience, and that of his beloved geometry book inspired him to write his first scientific paper at age 16. Albert Einstein started receiving advanced tutoring lessons from a family friend in medical school in 1889. His tutor was named Max Talmud. Max taught Einstein math that was foreign to other kids his age. Max even taught the basics of philosophy to the ten year old...

Little Albert

...Homework: Little Albert. 1. Did the results of Watson and Rayner's experiment support their hypothesis? - Yes, it did. The hypothesis was that most human behaviours and emotional reactions are built up on conditioned response. The result from the conditioning Watson and Rayner subject Albert to proves this hypothesis because Albert responded to the unconditioned stimulus which was brought around by the unconditioned response that is also known as fear. After combining these specific factors, the rat became the conditioned stimulus and that elicited a conditioned response from Albert. A conditioned response in this case, is fear. 2. How did Albert's response become generalised? - Albert’s response became generalised after he was subjected to ‘conditioning’ by Watson and Rayner when he was eleven years old. They instill the fear of rats within Albert and not soon after, they present him with the same toys back when he was nine years old. Albert was afraid of the toys that look even remotely furry such as a dog, a rabbit and a Santa Claus mask. However, Albert was not afraid of the blocks that were presented to him and from there, both Watson and Rayner have concluded that Albert is afraid of furry objects and therefore they have generalised his fear based upon the results of their experiment that was conducted on him. 3. How were the principles of classical conditioning used to reduce Peter's fear of rabbits? - The principles of classical conditioning were used to create...
