Answer:

Find the examples and explanation below.

Explanation:

A.

Cultural Universals: Language

Norms: Greeting

Values: Honesty

Culture shock: Strange foods

B.

These concepts are related to one another because they affect individuals and the societies that they find themselves. Proper understanding of these concepts will also help people to adapt better to their environments.

C.

Let us imagine that an employee from African named Andrea has just joined an organization in the United States. He will experience

  • Cultural universals when he sees that there are patterns, traits, and institutions that are common to all cultures. Language is a cultural universal that he might notice in his new workplace. But unlike the African setting where local languages are spoken, the language and accent will be different in this new environment.
  • Norms are socially acceptable behaviors. Andrea might notice that shaking hands is a norm in American society.
  • Values are principles that guide our choices of right and wrong. Honesty is an important value that Andrea will understand as vital to succeed in his workplace environment.
  • Cultural shock is the anxiety and disorientation Andrea will feel when he notices that some things are in sharp contrast to what is obtainable in African society. For example, he might discover that in communicating with superiors personal names as against titles are preferred in the Western workplace.

D.

I have learned that when employees from different backgrounds are adequately trained and helped to adapt to understand the prevalent culture in their workplace, they will feel at ease and become more productive.

andrew11 [14]

The night of the murder of Sir Danvers Crew, which was a member of parliament, the police decide to contact Mr. Utterson to oversee the case. Utterson, suspecting of Mr. Hyde goes to his apartment but is unable to find him nor any signs of where he could have gone. He then decides to visit Dr. Jekyll. Jekyll tells Utterson that he has no longer any relationship with Mr. Hyde and shows him a letter that he sent him in which he apologizes for the troubles he could have caused.

<em>That night, Utterson's clerk, who also saw the letter, states that the handwriting in the letter is very similar to that of Dr. Jekyll.  </em>

I think that the emphasis is on the navy: most communities had an army, but the Greek had an army AND a navy, that is a fleet of ship and soldiers that can fight on water.

The reason for this is that Greece is located on a Peninsula: in order to defend their land they need to defend it both on land (which is the usual case for most communities) and on the waters (next to shores).
