Cultural Aspects Of Geert Hofstede's Cultural Dimension Model

Those living in cities have better access to government services and have a higher standard of living. Those living in rural and coastal areas have generally been ignored, largely due to discrimination to their skin color, by such government services. Their wellbeing depends on their own ability to survive

Children were seen of as investments, but they were bought for very low prices, and since they were young, there was no need to pay them as much as adults. The age of the children was very important because of the different prices on them (Diptee 183). Younger children aren’t as strong as older children, so they won’t be capable of doing the same amount of work as them either. If a slave owner isn’t going to get as much work out of the child, they are most likely going to want to negotiate a lower price. The Transatlantic Slave Trade left a huge mark on African history.

53). In An’s case, cultural implications could easily be overlooked because she is from the dominant culture. Neglecting to examine An’s exposure to her father’s chronic illness and her grandmother’s mental illness could result in the creation of goals that could ineffectively address An’s situation. In addition, the family’s lower-middleclass socio-economic status is important. Although the family is from the dominant culture, they live in an area mostly populated with wealthy, well educated people.

The money the federal government spends on welfare and food stamps combined is less than the amount they spend on disabled workers. The majority of these people getting paid for disabilities do not work (Joffe-Walt). The government already pays the disabled money whether they work or not, so they shouldn’t be receiving any more welfare money. Welfare is keeping some families alive. However, some people are not even working and are receiving money from the government to support their families.

Another example of racial discrimination is shown through annual income. For instance, African American men that work full time and year round have merely 72 percent of the average earnings of white men that work full time and year round. This shows that there is clearly a correlation between race and income. This is commonly referred to as a “wage gap”. For African American women versus Caucasian women, the ratio is eighty-five

who were working in manager position as well. According to the article more than 28% of Whites continued to be the dominant employees within the workforce with Blacks and Hispanic lagging behind. Since the 1990’s there continued to be a larger gap seen amongst the white-collar minority workers. Occupational variances remain significant because an individual earnings were possibly affected by it. Within this particular article it was stated that, “In 2000, managers were being compensated at a much higher than many major occupational group, at $37 per hour, including $27 for wages and $10 for benefits.

However, rich the blacks were, whites had way more rights than the blacks and that's why they were always considered a higher class in the South. The caste and class concept brought attention to how bad the African-American poverty was then and it also got attention of the racism divide that’s happening in the South compared to the North. The case of Tom Robinson in “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee was based on race and nothing else and the Scottsboro boys case mainly lead to a change in the judicial system. The Tom Robinson case was a really horrific and biased case, then came the Scottsboro case which was twenty years long and changed the course of the judicial system. The caste and class concept was still living on for a while until small stuff got changed like having more rights for blacks and many more stuff.

On the supply side, there are not many landlords in high opportunity neighborhoods willing to work with section 8 because of increased government monitoring by public housing agencies. Also, landlords are concerned about the perceived behavioral problems that assisted households may bring, such as poor home maintenance (De Souza, 2010). On the other side, many tenants remain in high poverty neighborhoods because of the more affordable housing options. Additionally, many households may be reluctant to move away from familiar environments, assume that they are aware of the other housing options in high opportunity neighborhoods. Although remaining in high poverty areas may be convenient, families should be encouraged to move to high opportunity areas for higher quality of schools and the health benefits that come with leaving high poverty areas.

They took an oath to the king and were expected to live on their seigneuries, collect rents and dues from their census. Seigneurs could not ask for too much work from the habitants, because they wanted them to stay. (Habitants were better off in New France than in France.) Being a seigneur in New France meant status, but not wealth, but in reality the money they made from the seigneuries (the cens et rentes and other dues) was often not enough to cover the costs of maintaining the land. Seigneurs had social status.

Living paycheck to paycheck doesn 't allow families to go out and buy other things that they want, they are only able to buy the necessities and sometimes aren 't available to do that. Families who are living on minimum wage may spend more time working trying to provide for their family than spending time for their family. By raising the minimum wage you would help millions of people who are currently earning $7.25, it would get many families out of poverty to help them live better lives and to better provide for their families. So in conclusion I believe that the minimum wage should be raised. The minimum wage should be raised due to having a healthy economy, according to statistics the economy should grow.
