[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the influence of Chile’s culture on business and management practices. Chilean management structures and practices are influenced by a diverse number of factors from Chilean culture. The strong military presence and influence of the Church resulted in management procedures which are strict, conservative and respectful in nature. Strong social class hierarchies in Chilean society has resulted in highly hierarchical structures in management where the higher end executives are responsible for the decision making processes and are well rewarded because of this. Finally, women’s roles in Chilean culture are quite prominent and this is also reflected in the Chilean work place as women have equal representation in the social classes as well as professional positions and politics.

Colonial Latin America: Social Networks, Identity, and Consensus
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing colonial Latin America in relations to the patron-client relationship and social classes. While colonial Latin America was segregated into a hierarchy of social and class systems with the Spanish elite at the top, the maintenance of the system was possible by the textured social networks within communities which existed before the introduction of the Spaniards but nevertheless added the elite Spaniards as the ruling class. The Spaniards did their best to degrade the culture of the Native Indians by introducing Spanish customs and religion and separating the communities into barrios however although the Indians observed these new customs in a public sense, their private identity still contained traditional cultural, familial and social elements. Largely the Spanish elite ruled with stability based on the belief in the class system which expected them to manage the communities with justice. When that expectation failed however, consensus among the lower classes was obtained and riots ensued which led the way to eventual independence. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Could Mexico City, Istanbul, Paris Or St. Petersburg Be Able To Achieve Their Current Status Without The Politics Of Authoritarianism?
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. National identity of any given state or country is that which defines its existence throughout the global community; while some live by the tenets of democracy, others adopt a considerably harsher approach through authoritarianism. Does this separation make a difference when examining the extent to which, for example, Mexico City, Istanbul, Paris or St. Petersburg have been able to achieve current status? Indeed, one might readily surmise that had these four global communities assumed anything but their historically authoritarian stance in relation to politics, their respective modern-day standing would not have warranted such a tremendous endeavor.

Counseling Latino Clients in Regards to Cultural Considerations
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 12 page paper discussing issues in regards to counseling Latino clients. Therapists who are counseling Latino men and women must take into account various cultural and ethnic values traditional in Latino families including adherence to machismo, marianismo, persondisimo, simpatia, respeto and familism; all of which define the gender, family and community relations and rely on protection, support, respect and honor. However, in regards to Latinos in the United States, differences between individuals also rely on acculturation levels. In the case of counseling Latina women who have been raped or sexually abused, therapists must take into account not only traditional values of Latinos, but also acculturation levels, concepts of identity, biculturalism, stages of identity development, attitudes on present day sexual influences, health care formality, the current state of family influences and the shifting gender roles among other issues.

Criminal Justice System In Brazil: Cultural Impact
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. Brazil's criminal justice system reflects a duality of cultural influence from early nineteenth century independence and slavery, a coupling that inevitably created a penal process that "intimately linked to the maintenance of slavery as the central feature of Brazilian society" (Aguirre, no date). Contemporary cultural influence upon Brazil's criminal justice system finds that as urban communities have experienced exponentially growth in the recent past, the approach to criminal justice has taken on a greater sense of abusive tactics and, as a direct result, come under fire in relation to the issue of human rights. The writer also compares Brazil's system with that of the United States. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
