Need help with my writing homework on The Culture and Behavior of South Africa Conflicts. Write a 2000 word paper answering; On the side of religion, we find that 50%of the population of South Africa practice Christianity than Catholicism, of which the correlation between religion and Hofstede dimensions has a very high rank of individualism (Nuttall 2003).

South Africa is among the multicultural cultural countries in this world whereby different ethnic groups come up together in urban centers to make a population, moreover aspect of colonialism of the indigenous black people in South Africa has brought up the existence of the white people i.e. Indians, Chinese, Europeans, Malays, and many others. This aspect of different people who have dominated South Africa from different continents has brought out diversity hence making it difficult to generalize etiquette and culture (Clark 2008).

On the aspect of families in South Africa, we find that most families are nuclear, extended or tribe, whereby in most African traditional societies they value tribe mostly because it I an important community which is the same as a nation. In South Africa, traditional Afrikaans culture recognizes extended families to be more important than the nuclear families while the white communities consider nuclear families most. It is notable that the ultimate grassroots of a tribe is the nuclear family whereby family units and tribes have been changed by changes in the economic setup of a country. when some of the family members migrate to urban center’s they try their much effort in maintaining family ties by providing both materials financial support to their family members whom they left at the village when they migrated to urban areas (Carter 2012).

In South Africa, there is a great difference in the case of rural/urban dichotomy whereby there are great differences values of rural and urban dwellers, by examining them&nbsp.critically we find that the most of the whites who are in rural villages are Afrikaners whom they were brought down by Calvinists hence ending up practicing farming at the village.

Need help with my writing homework on The Criminal Trial. Write a 500 word paper answering; The Criminal Trial November 22, The Criminal Trial The process of a criminal trial begins with the selection of a jury. The jury is selected by the defense and prosecution by the means of a question and answer procedure known as “voir dire.” In federal courts and most state courts, the judge is the one that does the question and answer procedure, though the attorneys help to suggest the questions to be asked.

Before the trial commences, the defense and prosecution are able to request that the court admit or omit certain pieces of evidence, especially those that have been proven to be irrelevant to the case.

When the trial begins, the prosecution and the defense make their opening statements to the jury. The purpose of these statements are to “provide an outline of the case that each side expects to prove (Bergman & Barrett, 2009).” The statements only include what the attorneys know that they can present to the jury.

The prosecutor then presents its principal case by means of direct examination of prosecution witnesses by the prosecutor themselves. At this time, the defense is allowed to cross-examine the prosecution witnesses. the prosecution is then allowed to re-examine its witnesses. After this procedure, the prosecution is done with presenting their case.

The defense is then given the chance to dismiss the charges if they feel that the prosecution failed at providing enough relevant evidence to support a guilty verdict for the person being charged. The judge denies the motion to dismiss, an act that is rare but still seen.

It is now the defense’s turn to present their case through means of direct examination of the defense witnesses. The prosecutor is given the opportunity to cross-examine the defense witnesses, followed by a re-examination of the defense witnesses. The defense is then finished presenting their case.

In the prosecution rebuttal, the prosecutor is given the chance to offer evidence to disprove the case of the defense.

The prosecution gives its closing argument, “summarizing the evidence as the prosecution sees it and explaining why the jury should render a guilty verdict (Neubauer, 2010).” The defense makes a similar closing argument, though they explain to the jury why they should not render a guilty verdict, or, at the very least, declare a guilty verdict on a lesser charge, known as a plea bargain. The prosecution is offered a final closing argument if they wish to argue their plausible evidence that supports a guilty verdict.

The jury is given instructions by the judge on what law to apply to the case and how they should carry out their duties. The jury deliberates and attempts to reach a verdict. in most cases, a unanimous agreement is required for conviction, though some allow majority rule. If the jury reaches a guilty verdict, the defense is given the opportunity to make post-trial motions that involve requesting that the judge overrides the decision of the jury and either grants a completely new trial or else acquits the defendant. However, this is normally denied by the judge.

Sentencing is then undergone, a process during which the judge determines the punishment of the defendant, usually in the amount of jail time. The sentencing can be done at that time or can be postponed to a later day as set down by the judge.

Need help with my writing homework on The Connection Between Pour Your Heart Into It: How Starbucks Built a Company One Cup at a Time and Who Moved My Cheese. Write a 1500 word paper answering; The allegorical plot of Who Moved My Cheese (1997) establishes the significance of adaptability very powerfully on account of its simplicity. In Pour Your Heart Into It (1998), the significance of adaptability is emphasized by the reality of the personal experiences, and indirectly of course, by the subsequent success, of Howard Schultz.

The four characters of Who Moved My Cheese (1997) achieve their first objective, just as Schultz achieved what was apparently his first objective. Sniff, Scurry, Hem, and Haw are originally embark upon a search for cheese and they find a large stock of cheese at “Cheese Station C”, somewhere in the maze in which they live. Howard Schultz was associated with the founder of the Starbucks coffee shop in Seattle, WA, Gerald Baldwin. Schultz (1998) describes how, after an extended courtship of Baldwin and his company, he eventually joined the company and was given resources to handle its marketing. The vision Schultz (1998) had in mind, which he had convinced Baldwin to share, at least in part, consisted of expanding Starbucks across the length and breadth of the United States.

Like Spencer’s (1997) miniature human characters, Baldwin is presented as someone who’s ability to change was significantly stinted. Beyond educating customers about the different qualities of coffee beans, Baldwin had no interest in expanding his company. In the third chapter, “To Italians, Espresso Is Like an Aria”, Schultz (1998) explains the importance of his trip to Italy in the 1980s, where he first observed the potential for coffee shops to become venues for socializing, community bases in a sense. The title of the fifth chapter, “Naysayers Never Built a Great Enterprise”, is particularly telling of the struggle that Schultz (1998) experienced with Baldwin until he was able, in 1987, to purchase the Starbucks chain an begin building his empire.

The title of chapter five of Pour Your Heart Into It (Schultz, 1998), “Naysayers Never Built a Great Entreprise”, echoes the slogan that the miniature human, Haw, chisels on the wall of “Cheese Station C” before he finally leaves his partner, Hem, to go in search of more cheese. The slogan, “If You Do Not Change, You Can Become Extinct” (Spencer, 1997) parallels Schultz’s chapter title, “Naysayers Never Built a Great Enterprise”, and therefore establishes the parallel between Spencer’s character, Hem, and Schultz’s representation of Gerald Baldwin.

Both Spencer (1997) and Schultz (1998) advocate not only developing the ability to accept chance, but developing the ability to thrive upon it. Lawrence paraphrases the advice from Spencer’s character particularly well in “My Elusive Pursuit of Cheese” (2002):

Change happens: Fair or not, the cheese will move

Anticipate Change. Noticing small changes early helps one adapt to the bigger changes ahead.

Monitor change. Smell the cheese often so you know when it is getting old.

Adapt to change quickly. The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you can enjoy new cheese.

Change. Or you may be left hungry!

The general message of Spencer’s (1997) work is then very clear: “monitor change” and “adapt to change quickly” (Lawrence, 200).
