...It was billed as “the Summer of Love,” a blast of glamour, ecstasy, and Utopianism that drew some 75,000 young people to the San Francisco streets in 1967. Who were the true movers behind the Haight-Ashbury happening that turned America on to a whole new age? In a 25-square-block area of San Francisco, in the summer of 1967, an ecstatic, Dionysian mini-world sprang up like a mushroom, dividing American culture into a Before and After unparalleled since World War II. If you were between 15 and 30 that year, it was almost impossible to resist the lure of that transcendent, peer-driven season of glamour, ecstasy, and Utopianism. It was billed as the Summer of Love, and its creators did not employ a single publicist or craft a media plan. Yet the phenomenon washed over America like a tidal wave, erasing the last dregs of the martini-sipping Mad Men era and ushering in a series of liberations and awakenings that irreversibly changed our way of life. The Summer of Love also thrust a new kind of music—acid rock—across the airwaves, nearly put barbers out of business, traded clothes for costumes, turned psychedelic drugs into sacred door keys, and revived the outdoor gatherings of the Messianic Age, making everyone an acolyte anda priest. It turned sex with strangers into a mode of generosity, made “uptight” an epithet on a par with “racist,” refashioned the notion of earnest Peace Corps idealism into a bacchanalian rhapsody, and set that favorite American adjective, “free,” on a...

...San Francisco was the closest city to the gold fields, which caused it to rapidly grow and become a central location. With San Francisco being the closet to the gold mines, the town rapidly grew from a population of 400 to about 56,000 by the end of the Gold Rush (Lynch). The economy was booming due to the industrialization of San Francisco. Businesses created a financially sound infrastructure, which lead to its expansion from a small town to a city.

...Trang Nguyen 5/21/17 English 3 Mr. West A Beautiful Summer for the Hippies of San Francisco The 1960s saw people organizing and effectively working for change both in social order and in government. This included the student movement, the women’s movement, the gay rights movement, and a push by the courts to extend rights in general. In 1967 in the Haight Ashbury district of San Francisco, it started as a word of mouth gathering and erupted into the legendary event known as the Summer of Love. Mainstream media both then and now have been overly critical of the counterculture, blowing it off in the dismissive haze. However, there were key personalities who spearheaded new ideas of social responsibilities. Many of these ideas led to unique, lasting social changes and experimentation. The music of that period turned into a lasting legacy as it spread into the mainstream culture. This indulged the baby boomer's...

...specific cultural background after having immigrated can be both a challenge but rewarding. Culturally defined neighborhoods or communities are no a longer feasibly planned due to economic reasons. People consider migration only when the move benefits the family now and whether here they can still support their family in the process.

There were once isolated groups within different cities that came into contact with other cultures for the first time. And in many cases were able to work side by side with no problems. The race, language, religion, and class separated Californians but proximity forced groups to accommodate as well as compete.

...Introduction The name El Salvador when taken literally is Spanish for the Republic of The Savior. It Central America’s most densely populated as well as the smallest country. Although San Salvador serves as the capital city, San Miguel and Santa Ana are other important commercial and cultural centers (Ramon, and Valdes, 2000). The main language is Spanish. Therefore, as a company, Express Script can do well by having initial operations in one of the three centers. Also hiring Spanish-speaking workers can help. Cultural attitudes toward women and children Children are taught early and expected to behave respectfully towards their elders. This involves use of respectful terms of address and also in greetings. In addition, they should obey and comply with requests or orders from the adults. Once children reach six or seven years, they can be reprimanded or hit if they do not comply with requests made by adults, answer back or complain. Parents also use shaming method to discipline their children (Mahler, 1995). To do this, they complain loudly about the guilty child to another child or adult when the child is within earshot. Shaming is usually used if the child has not completed the assigned chores, is dressed improperly or has performed poorly in schoolwork. This is important for Express Script employees from other countries who might find this strange. Women are also expected to respect men and should not under any circumstances raise voice to them. In addition, they must serve...

...Sociopolitical Factors and Diversity Angie Kauffman Psych 535 September 7, 2013 Sociopolitical Factors and Diversity As society continues to diversify, both psychologists and therapists need to develop awareness for each client’s perspective, beliefs, and values. An individual’s perspective may differ from the perspective of his or her therapist. Thus, psychologists and therapists alike must develop an understanding of cultural diversity. Pederson and Locke (1999) stress the need for training in the culture-centered approach to gain, “accurate assessment, meaningful understanding, and appropriate intervention” (p. 11). A variety of factors can affect the understanding of a culturally diverse individual, such as homelessness, sexual harassment, and racism. Through an understanding of those three sociopolitical factors, psychologists and therapists can see the impact of these factors on psychological development, behavior, and distress. As a result, practices may be put in place to help minimize potentially harmful consequences. Homelessness Approximately two and a half million people are homeless and 30-50% of this group consists of families with children (Pedersen & Locke, 1999). According to Pederson and Locke (1999), homeless is defined if an individual meets one of the following criteria: • Inability to secure regular and stable housing • Primary residence is a public or private shelter • Occupying a place not designated for housing (p. 90). The homeless...

I have been impacted by the components of this study in my current work setting due to the new manager coming into our department with a positive attitude that was not present before with our previous manager. My current manager is able to relate to how hard it can be to tackle certain situations while dealing with deadlines and certain expectations, so he can definitely sympathize and encourage us with positive feedback and constructive criticism.

...University of Phoenix MMPBL 560 Managing in a Cross-Cultural Environment November 9, 2009 Managing across cultures is no easy task for any organization regardless of its economies of scale or long standing reputation in the market; the challenges are many, including coping with the flux of change, managing diverse groups of employees, communicating, and negotiating agreements with host countries. This paper illustrates how Johnson and Johnson, Allstate, Starbucks, Bank of America, Coca-Cola, Shell, Whataburger, and Sony USA address their cultural diversity. Thus, the authors of this paper analyze, evaluate, and assess the various successful best practices of these organizations to help Riordan Manufacturing’s situation. Riordan Manufacturing’s decision to open a new production facility in China has created some challenges involving the scarcity of Chinese skilled employees.

Accordingly, in analyzing cultural synergy strategies to help mitigate undesirable outcomes takes extra consideration, yet it is a necessary task (Hodgetts, Luthans, Doh, 2005). When reviewing Johnson and Johnson, it is evident that the company struggled with managing diversity and cultural differences. However, Johnson and Johnson stepped...
