...Eglitis, 2016, p 332) Social norms can vary from written law to cultural understanding of acceptable behaviors. Everything that we do is governed by a social norm in some way. Take for example greeting someone when you are being introduced for the first time. There is no law stating that you must make eye contact and shake their hand. If you decided not to, it would be considered rude. It is also a social norm in our culture to stand in line in public places rather than expecting immediate service. When I was considering where to conduct my observation, I wanted to choose a location where there would be multiple norms to observe and then later violate. I decided on a local café and deli in the business distract of downtown Cincinnati. Since the observation was taking place in the business district, I decided that lunch time would be the best time to do it. I started at 12 o’clock Thursday. The café is located on the ground level of apartment building that was built in the late 1800’s. The entire front side of the store is floor to celling glass, letting in a ton of natural light. There is only one entrance and one exit. Once inside to the right of the entrance is the deli, where all food orders are placed. On the opposite side is the café, which is just a sitting area and soda machines. I took a seat in the café area that allowed me to see the rest of the store. The first thing I noticed was the difference in the demographics of the employees and the customers that they served...

...Profession teachers focus on promoting learning, not only through academics but also as far as self-control, demonstrating responsibility, and the ability to relate effectively with others. In order for students to learn and practice this, their teachers have to lead by example in order to show them what to do. First a teacher must look the part. This means come to school in business attire. However the teacher must make sure they are comfortable. When I was in grammar school, I had a teacher that used to be in business attire from head to ankle. By this I mean she wore a full suit or some form of business wear however she would wear house shoes because the choice of shoes she decided to wear. I believe that as a grown woman she should’ve known better than that. She knew the field she worked in required her to stand on her feet for hours so she should’ve dressed accordingly. Another form of professionalism in the class from is maintaining self-control. Students are developing mentally and physically. Mentally, they want to test their authority figures and that’s what they do. As a teacher, as well as an adult one has to know how to have control and handle situations properly, that means if a student is mouthing off , do not cuss at them or stoop to their level. Another example of professional is demonstrating responsibility. Teachers also have deadlines and dates they have to comply with. If they can’t meet them how can they expect their pupils to do the same? There are...

...An American business magnate and philanthropist, Philips Hampson Knight was born on February 24,1938. He is the co-founder and chairman of Nike,Inc. and previously served as the chief executive officer of Nike. Knight set out on a trip around the world after graduation, during which he made a stop in Kobe,Japan in November 1962. It was there he discovered the Tiger-brand running shoes, manufactured in Kobe by the Onitsuka Co. So impressed with the quality and low cost, Knight made a cold call on Mr. Onitsuka, who agreed to meet with him. By the end of the meeting, Knight had secured Tiger distribution rights for the western United States. Knight's first sales were made out of a now legendary green Plymouth Valiant automobile at track meets across the Pacific Northwest. By 1969, these early sales allowed Knight to leave his accountant job and work full-time for Blue Ribbon Sports.Jeff Johnson, a friend of Knight, suggested calling the firm Nike, named after the Greek winged goddess of victory.

...Just as Pace (2006) says “There is a new era in business and companies have move up to a global platforms, communication between employee have moved from the phone and face to face meetings to primarily communicating through email. Not too long ago all men wore suits and ties to work and women did not hold prominent positions in the workplace. All this has changed in the recent years. More companies are now adopting a casual work environment with less dress code restrictions and a better work/life balance. But there are still companies out there who still hold on to the traditional values of business and it’s protocols. In the next paragraphs I hope to outline the protocols and culture of Google and how it came to be, as well as compare and contrast it a more traditional company, Goldman Sach. I will also outline Google’s failed experience in China how the Google culture influenced that. Google’s Founders: Montessori Reason for It’s Culture “You can’t understand Google unless you know Larry Page and Sergey Brin were Montessori kids,” Levey (2011). Montessori schools are schools based on the educational philosophy of Maria Montessori, an Italian physician who believed children should be allowed the freedom to pursue whatever interest them. Knowing this you can really understand the culture of Google why their business protocols are unique to traditional businesses. Like so many other technology start-ups Google was founded in the mid-90’s by a pair of college buddies, Page...

...CHRISTIAN DRESS AND ADORNMENT Chapter 7 PRINCIPLES OF CHRISTIAN DRESS Samuele Bacchiocchi, Ph. D., Andrews University In every age men and women have bedecked and bejeweled their bodies. The desire to adorn the body with colorful cosmetics, costly jewelry, and eye-catching clothes has left few untouched. Thus, it is not surprising that our survey found, throughout Biblical and Christian history, frequent calls to dress modestly and decently, without glittering jewelry or luxurious clothes. Such a call is especially relevant today when modesty and decency are out, and nudity and sensuality are in. To bring into sharper focus the relevance of the Biblical teachings on dress and ornaments for our time, I shall endeavor to formulate seven basic statements of principle which summarize the highlights of this study. This brief review will help the reader to gain a better overview of the fundamental Biblical teachings on dress and adornment that have emerged in the course of our investigation. PRINCIPLE ONE: Dress and appearance are an important index of Christian character. Clothes and appearance are most powerful nonverbal communicators not only of our socioeconomic status, but also of our moral values. We are what we wear. This means that the outward appearance is an important index of Christian character. The Bible recognizes the importance of dress and ornaments as indicated by the numerous stories, allegories, and admonitions that we have found regarding appropriate...

...Basic features of interviews A job interview is your chance to show an employer what kind of employee he or she will get if you're hired. That is why it is essential to be well prepared for the job interview. Preparing means knowing about the industry, the employer, and yourself. It means paying attention to details like personal appearance, punctuality, and demeanor. Knowledge is always your best weapon and so you should arm yourself with plenty of it. That starts with the very basic bit of knowledge regarding job interviews. Before you research the industry and the company and even before you practice answering the questions you might be asked, you should have some general information about job interviews. Let's start by going over the different types of interviews you might face. The Screening Interview Your first interview with a particular employer will often be the screening interview. This is usually an interview with someone in human resources. It may take place in person or on the telephone. He or she will have a copy of your resume in hand and will try to verify the information on it. The human resources representative will want to find out if you meet the minimum qualifications for the job and, if you do, you will be passed on to the next step. The Selection Interview The selection interview is the step in the process which makes people the most anxious. The employer knows you are qualified to do the job. While you may have the skills to perform the tasks that...
