Answer:
Positive representations of the groups provided -- Hispanic: Strong family ties; Asian: Smart; Middle Eastern: devout; Native American: Respect for Nature.
Explanation:
People from Latin American countries are often depicted as being close to their families and more loving and loyal by having profound respect for their mother, for example. This is a positive representation in respect to Western culture that is seen as more cold and individualistic where we care more about our individual material gain than the welfare of our extended family. North Americans for example focus more on just the nuclear family unit of husband and wife and dependent children. The grandparents, siblings, uncles, aunts and cousins are not as important as they are in Latin American cultures.
While still a stereotype that can also have a negative impact, the representation that Asians are smarter on average is an enduring idea. Particularly in Japan and China, the impression is that students are very hardworking and that they study much more diligently than students in North America and Europe and so they perform better at subjects like science and math. They also make better computer scientists and engineers because they are viewed as having a better and more rigorous foundation in mathematics.
One positive representation of Middle Eastern culture is that it is highly devout. Newspaper articles that contain references to Muslims and devotion usually depict the rituals and pilgrimages in a positive light while giving an account of how devote the followers are and the extent to which they sacrifice time or expense to follow their rituals. These news stories do not represent Muslim culture as negatively as other aspects of Islam are often represented such as the rights of women, for example. Unfortunately many negative stereotypes of cultures from the Middle East are enduring and the West is not as sensitive to misrepresenting people from Arab countries or from Iran as religious fundamentalists who practice an oppressive form of religion.
Native American culture has much more respect for the environment and our natural surroundings. There is a lot of wisdom about the natural world in Native American communities and unfortunately the dominant and mainstream North American culture has aggressively tried to exclude and assimilate Native American people so much of this focus has been lost. Entire communities and cultures were restricted to reservations in ways that did not happen in other cultures with a colonial legacy like Latin America. More work is needed advocating on behalf of Native American rights and respect for the legacy and knowledge they have of their surroundings and respect for the Earth and the power of natural forces like the wind and rain.
Every cooperative board of directors is charged with both protecting and utilizing the resources of the cooperative for its members. This simply stated prime directive is far from a simple task.
Balancing the needs of the member with the needs of the cooperative’s balance sheet is a tricky proposition at best. Establishing margins to cover actual costs along with additional net savings that will allow for future growth of services can be difficult, but past performance – together with reasonable expectations and realistic optimism – should drive financial projections.
With the help of the cooperative’s management, boards develop and approve business plans that will meet the organization’s goals. Most planning cycles are conducted annually, creating a budget that anticipates surpluses. New projects offering better services or products are financed along with long-term financing, either with new injections of capital or long-term borrowings. Unrealistic long-term financing projections can seriously interrupt the monthly and daily operations of a cooperative, therefore, understanding how current assets and liability affect the cash to cash cycle is a critical piece of knowledge that any board member needs. Current assets consist of cash, inventories and accounts receivable. Current liabilities include accounts payable for goods and services and the current portion of long or immediate term debt.
