Cross-Cultural Perspectives ETH 316 BP is a global organization that has a multinational presence in the world.

Superintelligence Reflection There are many differences in this paper compared to my first draft. In my first paper I tended to overuse the same pronouns when referring to the author. I also did not compare and contrast the authors as well as I should have and did not supply any possible solutions to the problems the authors wrote about.
